In this episode, I get the intake manifolds reattached, all accessories and belts, carbon canister, intake and fuel injection systems finalised. And I attempt to start her up!
This is the most comprehensive M70 content I've ever seen.
Try M539 Restorations 😂😂😂
@@davidfitzpatrick4041a job like this is something he’d do between oil changes just for fun 😂
Wow 80 mins and not a second of it wasted ,in fact I wish I saw more. Excellent work on both the car and editing 👍👍
So glad there's no music or other distractions. Just pure content. Very enjoyable to watch.
Project M539 reloaded. A lot more details and just as good. Keep up the good work.
55:07 looks like it just rolled off the assembly line in 1994!! Nice work mate
Just seen this channel, it looks like i will be busy watching this on my night shift.
Sometimes you find a gem of a channel, this is one of them. Glad that I found yours! Filmed perfectly with good commentary that I can learn from.
You deserve that pint, fantastic work, attention to detail is brilliant. Great work and you should be proud of that engine
Fabulous walk thru + Play by Play Commentary.
Finally a KZhead suggestion worth watching!!!!!!
The joyous “holy fuck” when it turned over made me a fan. Congrats!
Well done Sir! This episode was worth the wait. It brought such a large smile on my face when you cranked her up! Keep up the good work! Finally I would definitely do the body work prior to the suspension etc...
The “dont f*ck this up” moment was the subscribe decision point for me. Great narration.
Love the excitement in your voice throughout this video!
Great project... at 13:35 your rubber fuel return line touches the air cond. fill line. You shoud add some extra thickness at the place where they touch if you cannot put some space in between. in time it will eat through the fuel line.
That’s a beast of a job restoring the engine bay and the rebuild of top end. Always a bit worrying on first start ( just finished a total rebuild of my e39 M5) plus a huge relief when it fires up and completes its first heat cycle. I’ve been using your video for a diy guide on the intake gaskets for my 91 850i/6. The old wiring casing(plastic shielding) and rubber hoses (fuel, pcv) are completely brittle. It’s like delicate surgery trying not to break anything that isn’t being replaced yet at least until the engine is up and running again
That engine bay is pristine
Hi Steve, it’s Alan, the last owner of your beautiful 850. Fantastic work under the bonnet and really pleased that the engine was in good enough condition to benefit from the extensive rebuild and all your effort. I hope the rest of the car can also take the work that’s needed. I look forward to seeing the videos when you are ready. Best regards.
Finally. Yes. loving the series, been waiting patiently since the last one. Awesome work!
Since you say there is rust in the rear suspension, you should remove the rear subframe and see what, if any rust is hidden. Great job by the way! I just finished doing the heads on my 91 850i, and my first start, happened pretty much the same as yours did😁
Always a satisfying moment after all the graft with these big engines well done 👏
No envy here, only admiration and congratulations.
Great video, great series. I hope you get many enjoyable drives out of it. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the future!
Welcome back 🙂 love your episodes. Hope for more. I would proceed with the rust and afterwards the suspension issues. Keep on with more often videos
Awesome detail subbed to see how the rest goes given the quality of work done.
Feature length, eh? Savage work gone into that. A beaut, no doubt. Can't wait to see it out and about 👍
Glad to see the result so good. Congratulations!
Really great work Steve! Congrats! Just binge watched the whole series so far - looking forward to the next episodes!! Top stuff 👌
A great video. I really like your comments and descriptions as you progress.
Cracking job with this so far! Really enjoying the videos
Welcome back 😊. Awesome and detailed video as usual. Waiting anxiously for the next video. Greetings from South Africa.
Congratulations, well done sir! I’m traveling the same road with a ‘98 540 and can’t wait to turn the corner on putting it back together again and starting her up. Cheers!
It's Christmas every time you turn the key. Congrats Mate
You did a phenomenal job on this vehicle and should be commended. Congratulations!
Thanks Steve, just found your channel last night and have already watched all episodes, thouroughly entertaining and have now subscribed. Waiting for the startup.
excellent work fella, and your editing skills are now much better than before
Well done sir, and thanks a lot for sharing your journey. All the series has been very entertaining! All the best with the upcoming challenges, and looking forward to seeing them!
Great work really ! These 1 hour and 20 minutes felt like a breeze. Looking forward to the next step
Congratulations on a job very well done! Your hard work and attention to detail is top shelf my friend. Love this project, your channel and you as a person. Looking forward to more content on the restoration of this beautiful 850!
Love the whole series! That engine sounds like a sowing machine, what a marvelous beast!
Can’t believe how smooth it runs. Congratulations man. Hope you get all the funds you need to keep it up.
Steven, this is absolutely fantastic job ! Attention to detail is incredible! Very happy for you amigo!!
Great videos. I enjoyed watching them all the way from Portland Oregon.
Just watched all episodes, amazing work! Looking forward to next parts
Thank you sir for all your hard work, just the mechanical work alone is crazy and I can't imagine the editing/filming part, has to be 100's of hours. You sir are a beast! Can't wait to see the next one.
Great mechanic skills you have sir
I simply LOVE watching your work, superb video. Thanks
Must be a great feeling 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥that first start 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿amazing work
Great work Steve!! Love your series!
An excellent job by a true professional and a Guiness test by a true Irishman ! I do like BMW they are superb. A few years ago I had an E32 seven series, 3 litre, which I kept for 10 years; Glacier Blue and Dove Grey leather. I miss it. Interestingly I sold it to a man from the irish Republic. A V12 8 series is the tops. I thinks its worth you carrying on with the restoration, thought its expensive.
I had an ear to ear smile when that baby fired up 😄 You did an awesome job sir as always, loving this series so much. Can't wait for more. Have a good one, cheers ✌
Magnificent! Function and form, beautiful attention to detail and did it the right way. Solid investment in doing it ALL the right way. Congrats and look forward to seeing more.
I must admit, when i saw you realizing the starter is broken, i thought, oh no another month or more to wait until we get to see/listen the engine running. Great job, great content which was worth the long waiting. Thank you for sharing it. 👍👍🤝
good to see you're back!
The Guiness smoothness test was epic. Incredible job, well done. Good luck with the rusty parts.
No words to express how helpful this is. Thanks for taking the time to share!
More than an hour full of entertainment, THANKS A LOT!
Incredible! I've been rationing these videos for myself since discovering your channel a few months ago, almost a bit sad when I started watching thinking the finale would be your last. Looking forward to body and suspension work!
Nice work man!
Fantastic job and video editing. What can I say more?! What a hell of engine!
Steve. Greetings from the Virgin Islands. What an absolute treat it was to watch you go through this process. It was fascinating to see not only how it was done but also getting to see how you kept all of this so organized. Excellent job on the whole series. Can’t wait to see you continue on this journey.
Just wow, amazing work! I'm restoring the m73n of my 750ial currently. Moving in on the finish line to start up
I wondered what had happened to this old girl! Good to see the progress and the engine sounds healthy. Looking fwd to what comes next.
Eventually!!!!! Roll on seeing this on the roads in Louth
Great video, like you I was so glad to see it start . Best of luck with the rest of the car and can't wait to see more video from you...soon.
Thank you Steve! I just did a lot of the same work to my 850 6spd. Practically new rubber parts everywhere, bead blasting intakes and other parts. I was hoping for this video 2 weeks earlier, however I got my car pulled together and running past weekend. Actually, your videos inspired me to dig deeper in my 850 and replace more necessary parts. Great to see your car start and run, great work!!!!
I watched this video a while ago. Great content, wonderful car. I look forward to seeing more videos. Matt
Respekt and thanks for this wonderful job, what a great pleasure to see the fruits of your work resulting in a shiny and perfectly working engine. I am looking really forward for your new videos. The main reason I bought a dirty E32 750i that sat for 16 years are your videos. Tks again.
Well done mate just watched your video on the 850i enjoyed every minute of it 👍👍👍
YES!!! this is such a great video! i loved every minute... great editing, great tutorial, great everything! congratulations on a job WELL DONE. keep doing what you're doing sir. god bless.
Big thx for all your videos ! It's really helpful
Congratulations - BIG moment!!
Excellent stuff and great editing.
Only just found the channel really enjoying it
Incredible. It is the word. You deserve more subscribers regarding your care on your job! Thanks for the serie!
Love to see a new episode Steve
Great job mate!
Thanks Steve,Excellent work! Now I know how to replace my starter motor!
Great to see another 8 back on the road soon. I put a Quaiffe LSD fitted to my CSI so worth looking at, it makes a big difference in cornering and on wet surfaces. Having the whole rear axle refurbished with new bushes also notably a big improvement. New shocks all round will be worth doing,
Amazing efforts mate, a job well done
Absolutely amazing work!!
Nice work man, congrats.
Wll done! Your practical approach is very good!
Congratulations,great job TITAN!!!
Great job! Congrats! I used to have 2001 BMW 750 IL, love that engine!
Well done 👏✔ There is some special about a personal with passion. The day I build my own engine, it'll be an inspiration by passionate people like you. You and Sreten ( M539 Restorations) are just awesome 👌. Well done.
Nice job! There should be a 'seal' between the engine cover and the intake runners too
New to your channel. Very nice work and editing. Thank you
Great video just needed an intermission. You can restore discolored reservoirs for washer fluid and coolant with sulfamic acid. Works perfectly. Will try to post the KZhead link. Cheers
Please do the suspension and all the things now that you have done so much love to the engine. Keep it up!
wow! Very detailed job!
Beautiful car! Great job.
Great work!!! Really enjoyed the video!
I wasn’t able to save my fuel pump assembly and simply rewire it, replace pumps , hoses and rubber mounts so that set me back 1100$. It adds up fast $$$. But I believe this model will continue to grow in popularity and value as there simply isn’t anything else that looks even close to its appearance . Not sure how much driving enjoyment it gives (since my 850i/6 isn’t road ready yet) but I have 2000M5 for that
mate what a nice watch. Congrats!
I am really happy for you it started man, great job! Glasblasted aluminum will have a slightly rough service which makes it perfectly fine and ready for quick and nasty white oxidation, and the adhesion of dirt and grease will be much more easier. I personally would have chosen for soda ore water blasting, which is good for cleaning. So it’s good you’ve coated the parts. I am not so of the cohesion of clearcoat on, even blasted, aluminum. But I certainly hope it will stick and won’t peel off in the future. Than again, grate respect for such projects!!!!
Very nice! Love to see more.
I had a 1991 in calypso red, it had FIKSE forged alloys and a Dinan 3.94 limited slip differential, 2 chips for the motor and 1 for the transmission, it removed the 155-mph speed limiter, the car was set up at Sears point raceway.
Well done sir ! Enjoy your beauty !
Great work. Thanks for the details
