The only downside about mats videos. They are just not long enough could watch this guy all day 🔥🔥🔥

Hey Mat, I have some experience working on BMWs and would like to help you diagnose, here are some ideas to start: - The amount of points you bled the brake system from; how many? Though I'm unsure of F90s specifically, from what I've seen on an F10 M5, you need to bleed each corner from two seperate holes: one to bleed the inside pistons, one for the outside pistons. - Try compressing each piston fully while bleeding it, this should help get trapped air out. - Some specs of the newer BMWs lock out the gear lever if the driver door is open, sometimes even if just the seatbelt is off. Due to the airbag system and the restraint system being tightly connected, I suspect there's a slim chance airbag errors could lock you out if it's one of the cars that check if the seatbelt is off. It's unlikely but certainly a possibility i guess - Pump the brake pedal during ABS bleeding - I can hook you up with a very recent & clean version of ISTA if you want to try the ABS bleeding procedure with that. cheers

Your dad is an absolute legend, I laughed it loud when he told you the brakes still didn't work. We need more of matts dad.

This M5 series is golden, Congrats on 1 million. Looking forward to the next episode already!!

This guy has a positive attitude... although things are going as hell.. he is still happy and not giving up. this guy will go far in his career.

Man I just stumbled upon this channel and I'm loving the series.. you've so much positive energy I even watched the sponsored part 😂 Stay blessed brother ❤

I think you should give this one to your dad when your finished. He deserves it for all his hard work.

You’ve come an unbelievably long way, I remember your early videos. You should be really proud of yourself and what you’ve achieved. 1 million subs is no joke!!

Mat's face when he started the car was like a 6yr old seeing their presents at Christmas. Doing what you love, with your Dad, girlfriend and your mates and getting paid for it. Yes Mat, you did make the right choice, boy from Leicester done good. Congrats on the 1M subs and don't ever lose your enthusiasm, its so infectious!

Man seeing your emotions at 14:20 is what it's all about. You're such an awesome dude that's always so down to earth and hard working. You deserve all the success you have and more man! Really really enjoy watching your content and they're all amazing and congratulations on your 1M subs!!

Great sound, glad to see it all went well Mat! 14:53 Quick word of advice; wear goggles/face shield when starting a car without a front end. If anything flies off or breaks it is moving fast and potentially into your face. Congratulations!

Be careful as the OPFs are located in the link pipe of the exhaust system and not in downpipes on M5 F90. If you intend to replace the downpipe only, you will loose the pressure connection and keep the filters, which may cause some damage.

I was wondering if you let left the lever underneath engaged to put it in neutral on the bell housing. You probably checked, but just a thought. Looking forward to the rest of the video.

What can I say Mat. Everything is spot on. Great video, great attitude and great personality. I am sure your dad has to do a lot with it. Thank you mate, and shoutout to your dad. Cheers.

Your dads smile while works with you is priceless. Way to go Mat hope good things come your way always!

Its been awesome following your journey. You are a living inspiration and proof that anything is possible if you believe in yourself. Quick question though, Uhm.... Is there a part 4 video? Id really love to see how this beast turned out.

When will the part 4 appear? I am very very anxious to see what you have done!!!

Smacking the maltesers away, getting your mrs to check the headlights are working, smiling and staying positive through every issue - absolutely love your channel and videos. Cant wait to see this project finished.

I’ve had the same problem changing brake fluid on a couple of BMW’s, it was air trapped behind the calliper pistons. I had to push the calliper pistons back with the bleed valves open to remove the air, also try pumping the pedal at the same time as the diagnostic tool is working the abs pump, this worked for me

I totally enjoy watch Mat rebuild any vehicle. He's saw exciting and documented when it comes to the rebuilds process! Great Job all the time.

I love your hard work and pure optimism on every build. Keep going Mat

Congratulations Mat on achieving 1 million subscribers! You truly deserve it! I'm seeing a 950hp M5 in the distance future. Fit LCI taillights as well. It was well worth seeing you progressing on from chilling at Indoor BMX park to rebuilding monstrous cars. Keep it up ;)

Watching you and your following grow like it has is absolutely crazy! I'm proud of you Matt! I can't comprehend how happy you must be

such a bold project, I am sure you'll figure it out. great job, great progress. especially like the 3 finger wheel alignment check on a 600 bhp car 😀

seeing matt's face lighten up when he first started it up, shows how much hard work he really put into this build, such a huge accomplishment, so proud of you man!

Fantastic build series Mat. Your skills never cease to amaze me with these builds. Such an overly engineered car these Bmw's. Enjoying the series. 😀

Great episode! Congrats on 1m subscribers & I'm impressed how with the chassis repair how the engine & suspension all lined up. I'm sure you will have worked with viewer suggestions how to get the gears selected again. Good work Mat always inspirational.

The amount of effort mat and crew put in its 5 star

Check to see if the master cylinder piston is not stuck inside the base of the master cylinder, I have experienced this if the brake pedal was pushed with calipers removed or no fluid, it may not have a return spring in the master to push it back, it's easy to tell if the pedal has little to no resistance at all. Worth a shot! Loving your videos bringing these beasts back to life!

Well done Mat for making this amazing 1M achievement, waiting for the next mile stone. Super pleased with all the vids about cars and repairing them. Keep up the hard work and I think u should give a car to your dad👍🏽

Congratulations for 1M Subscribers Mat! Still is hard to believe not even 3 years ago I was watching your videos and you had less than 80K Subscribers! What an absolute milestone! Carry on grind and making our days and we are always there for you!

Damn, you truly are insanely talented when it comes to repairing cars. Big inspiration

proud of you matt. you always figure it out! love the grind.

Found Mat by accident after looking for new content and seeing the M5 Video and now I’m hooked to be fair, great content from a run of the mill guy with a can do attitude and happy to learn as you go. Well done mate I’m sure you’ve inspired many others with your work and can do attitude 👌

I'm sure you know this, but you'll need an ECU map with them downpipes as it'll spool quicker plus it'll have the wrong AFR. Likely throw an EML. It'll be MUCH faster when tuned in though

That’s amazing! I can totally feel your joy after that mess getting sorted out. Only one thing I suggest you is not to put the battery charger directly on the battery, you want to do it on the engine bay battery points… believe me, I learnt the hard way years ago.

Usually you need to have a pressure bleeder regulated to 2 - 3 bar and use the diagnostic equipment to activate the ABS pump valves and someone sat in the car pressing the brake pedal all at the same time and you need to start at the furthest wheel away from the brake master cylinder. Love the vids Mat just wish they were uploaded every day lol

This man loves challenges. Buying it that money and still adding in time, emotions and mental strength. He is the man who inspires.

You are sensational to watch, I love how excited you get when you figure something out and it works makes me exited as well feeling that I am part of the team, I find myself high fiving the screen. thank you for your awesome content and videos! Cheers mate from Boston!

Love these videos ! Ive been working on cars for around 8 years now ! Love seeing you go for it ! At first it was cringy too watch, but I love the persistence!!

Congratulations to 1 million subscribers, Matt! You are worth every single one of them. Keep up the good work! :)

You have become one of my favorite youtubers so quickly. I have binged all your series and it has inspired me so much.

Congrats on the 1m subs. I found you by accident when you had the Q5 and have watched you since. I’ve given up with some other KZhomers as they get quite samey but your vids are always great to watch and honest. Plus yours are inspirational whilst being down to earth still. Keep up the good work Mat!

Absolutely love this build, what a dream car that is 🤘🏼

Unbelieable how positive and full of energ thid guy is. Even watching sponsored part is hilarious😃

Hi Mat from Australia. Love your work. I’m so impressed by your tools, equipment and innovation. How about a video on all your garage kit, why you got the things you did and what you got wrong and had to get ‘the another/better’ one etc. thanks for your work. Peter Jones.

Hi Matt, been watching your videos for a few months now (subscribed about a week ago) and they're always entertaining. Thanks for all the hard work put it on the cars and the videos and congrats on reaching 1 million subscribers.

Congratulations on reaching 1M of subscribers, you deserve it! Thanks for the inspiration and for demonstation that the Hard Work Beats Talent.

Hi Mat and team, I’m sure the belt should be routed with the smooth side of the belt against the smooth pulley, I can’t be sure but all other belts work this way, please double check would hate if the belt to jump off and damage anything , ps loving the build!!

Love the way he just smiles his way through these videos even though he encounters so many problems,I feel suicidal just watching them 😂

top video mate as always. I'm worried about that serpentine belt, logic says the back of the belt should be running on the water pump pulley, usually they can go on a few different ways in terms of length, however there is only one correct way. Id be looking into finding a diagram for that. Maybe the master cylinder is bypassing with the brake issue?? who knows. best of luck man looking forward to the next video

When bleeding brakes that have been apart like this I found using a different colour fluid helped me track when new fluid was pushed through, ATE Super Blue was fab for this and you could alternate from yellow to blue each service. Also an Eezibleed kit is good for pressurising the system, I use about 25psi. You need decent pressure behind it. The computer is pulsing the ABS solenoids to try and push the fluid (and air) through so having pressure in from the top assists this.

I don't drive [ I'm a biker ] but Mat's vids are always good to watch . Best wishes all - looking forward to the next video on this or the Lamborghini .

You need a pressure bleeder and then do the test again because it needs to have pressure from the master cylinder😊

Amazing what you can do with a positive attitude, and taking things 'bite sized' chunks at a time! Love your man, keep it up!! 🙏👌💪

Can't wait for part 4....well done to Mat and the team.... Marlon from South Africa

Hi Mat, when the abs starts to work (strange noise like a small kompressor) bleeding you need to push (pump) the brake pedal - thats the way to get all the air out of the abs system.

that look of genuine surprise when you started the engine w the old charge coolers is what I’m here for

Keep pushing Mat you got this! A stupid braking system isn't gonna stop you you already did the difficult bit

Hey Mat, you’ve got to replace the airbags first and recode the sensors, then the brakes will work @matarmstrong

A million congratulations on your milestone. Well deserved. Keep the awesome work going.

This man needs a Netflix show, not long finished your C63 project, enjoying this one too. Keep up the good content 👍🏻

Congratulations on 1 million subscribers Matt watched you for the last few years definitely worked hard for it!

whenever mat does a BMW rebuild I get goosebumps well done Mat another epic video 👏👏👏 that look when the car started priceless you should definitely have more videos with ur dad posted

we need more of your dad , droping a golden knowledge, btw Mat congrats on 1MIL.

Enjoy the video? Oh yes I did! Fact is,I have been on the lookout for this one eager to learn what happened since you removed the engine. Can't seem to get enough of the exuberance, camaraderie and sheer motivation, expertise shown by the crew,including your wife and dad.Awaiting next video, car fan,Kenya.

Your trapped air is more than likely in the callipers. Try pushing the pads back to move the pistons and re try or even vacuum bleed the brakes. It's also worth noting that on ista it will ask you to press the brake pedal in a sequence or repeatedly during the bleed process. For example when prompted to open the bleed nipple on whatever calliper it will also say press pedal repeatedly or in a sequence.👍

Its a very interesting project. i love to watch a mechanic do something that the most mechanics wont. Btw, whould be nice if you sometimes show the pricelsit in Euro

Congrats on 1M subscribers Mat......major milestone and reward for all your effort. Well done.

"Hannah, just see if the headlights work" - brilliant! Love this mix of education, suspense and humour in your vids, Mat x

2 things to think about for you mat. My bmw won't let you put it in gear when the door is open and I also read once that some cars are designed so the pedals collapse in a collision so you don't smash your feet/ankles 👍🏻

Well done matt for getting over 1m subs. Been a watcher for a long time. Hard work beats talent and that's proven with your success. Well done pal

We do this bleeding procedure in work with vans, you have to connect a pressure bleeder to the brake fluid reservoir with atleast 1.5 bar of pressure, and bleed each corner with the computer while someone pumps the pedal, you need someone to pump it to help physically push the fluid out of the abs pump as it activates the solenoid valves internally, hope this helps matt 👌

Keep going guys! Love to see how things are going and you look for a solution, while you not have any clue 😂 👍🏻

I'm not sure how these newer engines work, but back in the days you could have a soft (or no) brake pedal because of a vacuum leak. Considering half of the front end is missing, have you checked vacuum pressure?

Fairplay mate. You've come so far in the last few years. Big job this and you've smashed it. 👏

This guy needs his own tv show. I’d happily sit and watch Mat on the one of the discovery channels 😂😂

Great to see it all moving forward... would like to see a little more how you go... when replacing the broken electrical contacts. Thanks for this lovely video

Hi my man I enjoy watching your videos and I think it's not a bad decision to buy the M5 so far you are doing a great job with your Dad and crew

If you gently clamp each brake Flexi hose you should get a hard pedal. Simply remove one at a time whilst pressing the brake pedal to see which one drops the furthest. Then you will know which corner you have a problem with

I’ve just had this exact issue with a 2018 mini, you need to attach a brake pressure bleeder at around 1 - 1.5 bar, and every time the ABS pump buzzes, pump the pedal (approx every 3-6 seconds) and start on the corner furthest from the ABS pump ending on the closest, hope this helps

I use to own one of those and it’s scary to see just how complicated they are under that cover under the bonnet. 😳

A treat to see you and your Dad working together and having a great time. Memories are made from this!

Congrats on 1m subs Mat, you're doing great. Keep up the awesome video's!

Hey Mat, it could be that the brake pedal was disconnected from the cylinder by pyrotechnics in the accident... Good luck and hats off!

im waiting for the part 4:( this is soo entertaining and interesting to watch

absolute cracker of a video as usual Matt congrats so far mate can't wait to see it finished.

Can't wait to see you sort them brakes out Mat I'm pressing that pedal for you mate.

Coming from a guy that grew up in a body shop, has rebuilt many cars and enjoyed them, I tip my hat to Mat for taking this passion that many of us share to the next level. WISH I WOULD HAVE DONE THIS!! :) Maybe double check the routing of that belt...

Ahhh you guys were going so well , then the brakes held you up weird one that hope it gets sorted good luck guys great channel 👍👍👍👍

That engine looks a mess but it is an absolute beast. You’re gettin better at this mat

Congrats on your 1 Million Subscribers! Re water pump, yes they do wear out (on all vehicles), the pulley seal goes. there's normally a tell tale hole that allows a small water leak before it fails

The work Mat puts into these builds still blows my mind

Your “can do attitude” blows my mind. I’d have given up a long time ago, not to talk about the anxiety that would have developed after unsuccessfully trying to fix it first time round. Keep up the fantastic work. You’re a shining light to us all budding amateur drive way mechanics. 😆🙏

Mat, I just wanted to say thank you for your videos! I have been having probably the worst time in my life for the last 10-11 weeks and only came across your channel during this. Your energy and enthusiasm in your videos has cheered me up during some really 'dark' days. Thankyou.

Just make sure your cerpentine belt has been installed the right way. If your waterpump spins the wrong way you might loose your engine.

You NEED to have a pressure bleeder attached while performing the ABS/DSC bleeding procedure or you will never get all the air out. Even with the bleeder attached it still may take a few times to get it totally bled out. If you are sure you have gotten all the air out and the pedal still goes to the floor you either have a leak or there is a problem with the master cylinder.

If you don't push brake strong enough, it won't engage into the gear. You need to fix that somehow to put it into D. And I'm here for it.

You make this kind of work fun to view, love your channel! Connect the bleeder unit (1) to the brake fluid expansion tank and switch it on. Observe the operating instructions of the corresponding equipment manufacturer. Do not exceed the filling pressure of 2 bar . Connect diagnosis system: - Service functions - Chassis and suspension - Traction control system - Brake bleeding routine... Note: Your rear brakes most likely are mounted high, almost flat, near the top of the rear rotors. because of this and the EMF actuator you can't bleed all of the air out of the rear brakes unless it's somewhat vertical. Remove the rear brake caliper - disconnect plug connection on EMF actuator and detach cable from cable clip. Turn brake caliper so that EMF actuator points downwards (Bleeder Down). NOTE: You must place a block close to the size of the rotor inside the caliper while bleeding to avoid blowing out the caliper pistons. Open vent valve and flush brake caliper - close vent valve during flushing. Turn brake caliper so that EMF actuator points upwards (Bleeder Up). Open vent valve and flush brake caliper. Close vent valve. Reinstall brake caliper in installation position and flush again. Start brake bleeding - engage drive position P. - Apply parking brake. - Start engine. - Press the brake pedal and release it again. Connect the vent hose with the collecting vessel to the vent valve on the rear right brake caliper. Open the vent valve (1) and purge it until clear, bubble-free brake fluid emerges. Check the bleeder unit fluid level after each caliper! Press the brake pedal 10 times for approx. 3 s. Close vent valve and torque to 15Nm. Follow the same sequence with the remaining calipers Left rear, drivers frt., Passenger frt. Complete and disconnecting the diagnosis system and switch off bleeder unit (1) and remove from brake fluid expansion tank . Check the brake fluid level, if necessary, adjust to maximum mark. Check the seal of the break expansion sealing cap for damage and renew it if necessary. Mount the sealing cap on the brake fluid expansion tank. Reset hard codes, check brake booster connections as well.
