I Finally Bought A S85 V10 BMW M6 E64 *PROJECT INDY* Part 1

[@stevencurrie9469]

flying thru the V10's. Great to see you putting an amazing engine back on the road ready for a new owner to enjoy for years, you sir are the master.

[@woooster17]

Very nice, but it’s not an LCI on 2007.. surely pre-LCI? It has pre-LCI front & rear light clusters… LCI was 2008 as far as I was aware. I have an ‘06 630i as my daily driver. I have considered an M6 or M5 with the S85 V10, but they have just too much potential to destroy you financially..

[@thoththeatlantean]

good choice on the s85! switch to motorad 880090 and some redline 5w50 and harden your crank and you are GOOD TO GO! spun a rod bearing and learned the hard way but after the rebuild the engine was bulletproof up until the day i sold it

[@hotfluids8758]

When your bearing spun.. did you replace the connecting rod? Mine spun as well but I can still see the marking lettering on the connecting rod. Getting the crank fixed new bearing.. but I don't know if I should replace the rod.. any info would help alot.

[@s.mas.w]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️excellent content! Is a manual conversion cost prohibitive?

[@jimmynickelz]

Tail light gaskets. Did you say that already?.....and clear the drains. Love this car.

[@Masteranddisaster13]

Keep up the good work. Started watching you since the begging of your KZbin journey when you were fixing e53s.

[@normanschenck6906]

I've got a 2007 M6 E64 like yours. What's the difference with LCI wheels?

[@comedywithashleymccormick477]

What lift do you use and do you recommend it?

[@berrymucuckiner4890]

“But,but, but a hellcat makes 7xx Hp.” Says a 12 year old that needs a good slap to the face 😆

[@glendekoker3682]

Nice, I think you should zoom in just before disassembly as you work. Great help. I changed fluids, few parts 214, Km same bearings M5 love it ! change oil every 3,500 always warm up oil before racing. No engine codes. Had bad clutch position sensor was very hard to change. Great Channel.

[@ericr5561]

So excited to find all of this! I feel like I'm late to the party as I've bought my e64 M6 2 years ago. It's a beautiful car!

[@rhiantaylor3446]

More of the same with a twist - excellent ! Bring it on !

There's one for sale locally that runs rough for $6500. Still too expensive?

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

Depends on the miles and what shape its in

[@baitse7676]

@@NathansBMWWorkshop 100k miles, paint looks okay. May need tires. The guy says it needs main bearings, but I suspect he meant rod bearings. If it spun a main bearing, would lock up

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

@@baitse7676 it wouldn’t lock up but prob knocks , needs a new crank prob if any bearing is spun

[@francispowell1811]

M6?

[@baitse7676]

@@francispowell1811 Yes, same as Nathan's car, but metallic red

[@markhancox5475]

You might get cheap fuel in the US but the cost of parts and shops seems extortionate. Over here in the UK a 4 wheel laser alignment is about £100/$125 and if you needed tyres fitted, although I’ve not done that I wouldn’t imagine you would be charged any more than £10/$13 per wheel for fitting 🤔

[@billrichardson5386]

Nice find

[@ziklag7676]

Love the e63, I miss my old 645ci, best cruiser for trips to the coast

[@DanielSingerX]

I have this exact car!! I picked it up last year and changed all those suspension parts lol, also worked on the abs and It needed a front right wheel speed sensor and that took care of every code it had. Mine sat in a driveway for years so has a bit of sun damage, wish it was as mint looking as this one! I love this car soooo much and I don't even drive it like its meant to be driven. I have to do rod bearings for peace of mind and its sounding like it may need a clutch soon. I'm planning to sell it tho cause I have too many cars and I need to downsize

[@kotrreaper385]

if you have the one with the s85 engine in it how many miles are on it and how much do you want?

[@DanielSingerX]

@@kotrreaper385 it was the s85 with 89k miles but I’ve already sold it :(

See that's the the thing with these bmws they keep asking for parts ....you fix one thing,2 months later mainfold,head gasket ,timing chain,engine good ???then thermostat,coolant lines it's always something

[@DanielSingerX]

@@drepersaud yeap that’s exactly what was happening. They aren’t built to last and have too many complicated systems

@Daniel Singer it breaks My heart such beautiful and fast cars old school tooo ,I rather my heart broken then wallet sadly 😥.......but lemme hear your side of story when it comes to most reliable bmw ?? Both e60s I purchased was junk 530i was solid but famous transmission slip with limp mode happened then same with 550i +gasket nd coolant leak which later messed with the Cats .......I'm giving bmw one last time but Idk what to purchase while obtaining the fast and comfort life

been waiting for a m6 video thats cool

[@stefanczechorskidds8435]

HI, do you realize that car has mis matched tires on it? The fronts appear to be continental DWS's and the rear appear to be summer tires. I enjoy your vids. Did you ever determine why the other M engine was froze ?????

[@jakubjarosz5242]

As a detailer I see lot of work. Paint need heavy correction and leather cleaning and protection. I think it should be part of a project! Good luck - I am looking forward to see what's next.

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

The paint is actually very nice on this car , we just sprayed it off at the car wash before the video , didnt wipe it at all yet

[@CrazyOneToo]

That's the same color as my 2007 Z4. I love it!!!

Bro. Just break down & buy a tire charger & balancer. You will make you money back on that so fast. I'm in the process of getting one myself. Shops want 50 to swap a motorcycle & atv tire. I'm like no thank you. I'll just buy a machine. But I feel your pain.

Ah after closer inspection the e63 e64 had a little different interior than the m5 , this car does have the 2 drain plugs like a lci , i was thinking these wheels were different but yesterday i was looking into it and it isnt, however that being said i cant be perfect on every car , i do know ALOT but cant be perfect like everyone else on youtube 😂
