Whelp you really only have 1 problem left to fix which is rod bearings, the trans are pretty bullet proof on them, just make sure when you are doing bearings and have the engine out, that you do all the "while your in there" replacements of seals and what not, should have a pretty darn reliable M6 for the next 100k miles.

So mate in my person experience, I’ve had the regulator on the back of the alternater go and that throughs up a transmission code as well, so it might also be worth changing as some preventative maintenance, the main tell for it is if the voltage spikes when driving you can tell this with a standard code reader but I figure your in need of some helpful advice good luck on the build can’t wait to see the next episode 👍🏻❤️

A couple things for anyone else wanting to tackle a similar project. Always replace your clutch pivot pin with a stainless pivot pin, it'll last way longer than the plastic one. Additionally, the exhaust clamp is free floating on one header from the manufacturer, it's the same way on my e46 and e90 m3's. The exhaust is sealed with the conical exhaust gasket
@The_North02 күн бұрын
No! Stainless pivot pin doesn’t last longer. Plastic works way better. Stainless will be smashed by the strong force of smg

I don’t think that exhaust bracket is a factory defect. I also own a M6 and mine is Japanese (well I am Japanese and I live in Japan), it also has the exact same design. One flange is not welded and comes right off. I was also surprised and I still don’t know why. But it can’t happen randomly to both your car and my car, in two different markets
@bigman70832 сағат бұрын
He f*cked up welding that flange 🤦♂ , it's a factory feature on most BMW M cars and it's sealed with a gasket. It's to prevent issues with expanding and flexing from heat.
