Back in Service After 10 Years - Garden Find V12 BMW E31 850i Revival - Project Marseille: Part 3

[@M539Restorations]

Since I'm getting 5 million emails and comments about it, there is nothing electrical sparking near the right headlight. Just a small piece of plastic dangling and reflecting light, I confirmed it today. :) thanks for your concern!

[@Racer345781]

My father and his best friend are using kerosene once and a while when they change the oil and filters in their cars. They both have a 1.6 TDCi Ford Focus. Is that engine flush method as the one you described in the video or is it safer ?

Everytime a new video appears i am like, yeah "coooooming up" time.

Quick but very effective explanations, no unnecessary talks around one problem. Cool on point video editing. Thank you very much for your effort and time, i know it is alot of work to concentrate on the recording at the same time as the repairing. The funny parts are awesome, like the part at 15:27. First the ingnition "Gong sound", like "all is good... carry on" and then the explosion :D. Did shock me for a second, but then it turned into a smile on my face. nice to having you.

[@haseman]

A pro tip on bolt extraction is using drill bits that are the "wrong way" i.e. instead of clock wise drill bits use counter clock wise drillbits. They will use the force needed to drill to try to extract the bolt. If your lucky the bolt will just unscrew itself while drilling. If not you can still use regular tools.
