What Does it Take to Rebuild a BMW M3 Engine? - E92 M3 - Project Frankfurt: Part 5

In this episode, we are inspecting, cleaning and reconditioning all engine parts in preparation for the full engine rebuild of the M3 S65B40 V8 engine. We clean the crankshaft, take apart the oil pumps and cylinder heads, fix the stripped oil drain plug and take the block to H2 Motors, and recondition (hone) AluSil cylinder bores.

I hope our old Englishteachers don't watch your Episodes.😂 It was a Pleasure to have you in our Shop.🤙

[@spud8385]

I'm English and you guys speak it better than a lot of people here so don't worry!

[@Francis.....]

English is so bastardised there is no right or wrong these days... Americans made sure of that

[@vaux_wolf4281]

Don’t worry guys your English was better than most of the people I know 😂

Just in time we translated all our videos and added English subtitles. Feel free to use our playlist to find out more about our work on BMW engines. Have fun! kzbin.info/aero/PLnsiTEdA-H-Wr_2NLuiwLcOF6zWMc-iax

Don't you wish more shops cared as much as these guys, the world would be a much happier place.

[@Hdkrbrjfofjfndkele]

The world would be perfect

[@studiomwg]

Honestly, I want to send my E46 to Germany and work on it with guys who care and know what they’re doing. It’s so difficult to find.

[@r.weaver3769]

@@studiomwg I'm thinking you're not alone with that sentiment.

[@studiomwg]

@@r.weaver3769 We should all organize a trip, car transport, and a large garage for a two week+ marathon work session. 😂

​@@studiomwghave you seen the videos by Reddish motorsport in the Uk?

[@yugo4576]

Man, it's awesome to see Sreten is getting some great support from all these different places. The machine shop is just an incredible place, and the guys were genuinely happy to help out. This is only the beginning of great series!

[@Hdkrbrjfofjfndkele]

[@don7walk769]

I definitely can not recommend H2Motors. I had my worst experience with this workshop: disorganized, incompetent, customer unfriendly and arrogant to boot! Timing not set correctly during engine overhaul and unable to detect the fault in two weeks. After that, H2M threatened me with legal action via lawyer that I am not allowed to claim this anymore. Mr. Huber, you and your store have remained in my very worst memory! I have never experienced any thing like that before!

[@jimtaylor431]

H2 Motors workshop is like a nirvana for BMW enthusiasts.. I cannot *believe* the amount of stock they have in terms of motors, etc. Truly incredible. Their combined knowledge must be enormous. Your E92 M3 is shaping up to be really, really special Sreten.. can't wait to see it all come together :-)

[@omg_stoppit]

Best microfiber intake manifold I've seen to date. Looking amazing.

[@jasons4745]

😂

[@GTDpowah]

Just imagine if it was truly made of microfiber 🎉🎉🎉 😂

[@MakeYourVision]

Microfiber + epoxy resin 😂

[@s12d.z]

There ain't nothing better than sitting in your bed after a long day and watching Sreten work on his broken BMW's while throwing some jokes! Just immaculate work, attention to detail and classy oem taste🔥

[@legioner9]

Well said, sir.

[@AMdrew]

Better the OE sometimes :)

[@FieryWings01]

Amen brother same feeling here from Australia and my Oem+ 323ci factory manual.

[@vavra222]

Man, its so good seeing Sreten being recognised and sponsored by more and more people and companies, you definitely deserve it!

[@jouleskelvin]

I'm here for the adults parts content. 🤓

[@garymurphy5133]

i will keep this short. there is NOT a better BMW channel out there than this one. the content is unmatched and production / editing is like a "discovery tv" production and all done by 1 one guy amazing. well done Sreten

[@PetarFantastic]

It is really nice to see there are still shops in Germany that are run by a passionate person! It really looks like they love and know what they are doing at H2 Motors!!

[@gouldnj]

I love hearing you use the Gudentight torque value. It warms my heart.

[@spencermaiers8322]

Until recently it had to be torqued perfectly from the nut side, the perfectly good used bolt had to be replaced, now just tighten it up and foeget about it s good enough. I think our host is turning into a grizzled old school mechanic ;)

[@Nigel999]

i'm lost for words on how excited I was to see this drop - 45 minutes of heaven being totally absorbed in the magical world of Sreten and his BMW's.

[@mantaskizeliauskas9567]

That shop is like the heaven.

[@joachimemand1687]

What a coincidence! When I watched JP Performance at H2Motors earlier this week, my first thought was: Sreten would love the guys from HIIM. And here you are :D Fantastic video as always, thanks a lot.

[@Fiatagri60170]

My one and only Patreon subscription, and it's worth it so much. We really feel the gain of experience compared to the videos on the H1 engine, thank you for sharing your experiences Sreten

[@ApKieras]

36:10 😭

[@FrldyZX87]

What a cool interesting episode! Love how these places you visit give you a tour of their facilities. They know M539 Restorations is one of the best channels on KZbin! 😁

[@st3althyone]

My prayers have been answered! There's nothing better than watching the beginnings of an engine rebuild. Seeing you do all your prep work sure is a treat, Sreten. That S65 sure looked sexy down to the bare block. Thanks for always giving us your best. Take care of yourself and we’ll see you on the next one, my friend.

[@McMaster1500]

Great episode Sreten, this S65 engine is gonna be better than new! I would love to see a E34 M5 project on the channel.

[@25troy]

I was starting to drool seeing all these fantastic engines and rare M cars in mint condition at H2 Motors... 🤤. Great episode!

[@marcorossi6953]

Oh hell yeah, H2 Motors is heaven 😍

[@TheHunterHofman]

The BMW KZbin enthusiasts are blessed again with another upload (from you, this time)!

[@E92M3Guy]

This is right up my strasse, I have had my E92 M3 for almost six years, I do all the servicing my self , with correct factory torque settings on everything, inspired by you Sreten . 🙌🙌

[@PetetG]

COMING UP. THE BEST BMW RESTORATION VLOG ON YT!

[@FluePeak]

M539 is now the offical BMW Whisperer, he can fix everything on thoose car quite litterally

[@julianpritchard2558]

It just goes to show how highly your work rated. So many top quality companies want to help you out. As always, amazing quality of work and attention to detail.

[@paullaw5054]

I'm not a BMW guy, just an old petrol head, but I've got to say, I was blown away with the engine shop. What a fabulous 45 minutes of pure enjoyment. Those guys are not just engineers or craftsmen but artisans. Like Sreten, people who put their heart and soul into their work. Great credit all round.

[@Strongholle]

It's really cool how independent shops develop parts that solve BMW's blunders and help keep these future historic cars on the road.

[@Rubystar001]

When I saw that black 3.8 E34 M5 Touring I got chills on my back. I owned one just like that for 7 years. Every aspect of that car is a piece of automotive art.

[@schorschp2537]

M539 & H2Motors. Two of my Favorit Chanels in one Video. Superb

[@yassirc3681]

Sreten, you've inspired my love for BMW. I was possessed by the notion that BMW are nothing but unreliable, unserviceable, money pits. Well, they do cost a lot to fix, but it worth the driving experience. Thank you for the quality content, and details on fixing, restoring neglected BMWs.

[@tsherwoodrzero]

After seeing a block cleaned and properly refurbished, now I'm more motivated to clean up and fix my E38's starter wiring.

[@metalgearfan2222]

41:58 while I was watching JPs video yesterday, I had to think of you when I noticed the proper engine stand in the background. Nice that you visited them too and noticed as well 😃

[@kamilianos]

RESPECT to Imran from the UK and to the company who sent aluminium valve covers - that's sick !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mhervan]

The fastest 45 minutes on KZbin! Your videos are so informative and your attention to detail is unmatched!

[@darklegion7780]

That's called content . 40+ minuts and you don't feel it . A pleasure to watch and learn new stuff.

[@TROdesigns]

One of the best automotive series ANYWHERE. Awesome German craftsmanship

[@plunder1956]

H2 Motors are clearly your kind of people. What an amazing place.

[@IvanForpatril]

The whole process of cleaning and honing the block was mesmerizing! It's now an objet d'art!

[@TheHolyGG]

first JP and now you. The E92s are in good hands :)

[@Ian_Christensen]

Damn son. That guy was a freaking legend. 'Give a shout out'. Yes baby, here you go.

[@kristijancoric3604]

That machine shop is out of this world

[@SalvaBarbus]

This is going to be magnificent. Those intake parts just look incredible, and they're going to sound out of this world, absolutely. Also, I'm super glad that you've been able to find shops which are professional and share the same mindset as you do!

[@Xtoxinlolinecronomicon]

H2M has a real treasure trove of beautiful engines! 👀

[@A320Oly]

I spotted my own car in your video at H2 😳 Must have just missed you. I picked up my Alpina there on Monday…. Great guys at H2. Watching your video makes me feel even better about taking my business there. Keep up the good work!! Your projects are awesome to follow 💪🏼

[@Lif3tec]

I don't even have a license or am somewhat car-enthusiastic but I absolutely binged this series!! amazing content and great video making, you rock!

[@michaelskinner896]

Brilliant! Seeing that engine block getting honed and refinished was great. It's nice to know there are people who know what they're doing with respect to this somewhat unique material. Looking forward to the big rebuild!

[@DucatiGTS]

Wow that E34 M5 6spd Touring Wagon, amazing! The Ultimate Family Wagon? Those guys are absolute professionals. You're the BEST BMW channel on the net, my personal opinion!

[@tonykeast9966]

Best advert ever for that amazing place. I'm blown away by them. Perfection fellas! Sreten, whatever that was they cleaned the surface up with by hand at the end... don't get yourself ONE... Bulk buy a few thousand and sell them to us with a channel sticker as merch. Everybody needs that. Stick a clear ten or even twenty bucks profit onto the cost and shipping, easy! I'd thank you for it. Superb video, those guys are fantastic.

[@alz_rdf]

The smile on the guys face as soon as you said vixen 😂hilarious)))

[@michaelhynds8035]

Fantastic work and tremendous quality as always, and such decent guys at H2M as well. Thank you.

[@AllBoardCreatives]

You are literally running a dream factory... Great work as always, the machine shop visit was very insightful and interesting! Awesome that you were able to look over the shoulders of the H2 Motors wizards!

[@Sebastiancom11]

Fantastic content as always! Just bought a Hoodie, it’s not much but i hope i at least supported a minor bushing 😂 - Keep it classy, keep it OEM. Keep on doing what you are doing Sreten. You are a true guru and inspirationel to all of the car community! Love from a Peugeot Mechanic who badly wants a E34 Touring 😂🤘🤘

[@galerio995]

I was at bed when the notification popped up, now I just had to turn on the computer again and watch this!

[@nigelb5370]

Cup of tea at the ready. A new video. Let's go man 🙂

[@hanscombrinck1481]

Always a pleasure to see passionate professionals at work.

[@ebsupra]

Fantastic content as always. With H2 motors located 3 hours away from me, I am now inclined to make some poor financial decisions for my S65.

[@legioner9]

Sreten, everything you touch turns into something beautiful.

[@ianrusso8790]

so happy to see another video from my German fratello!!!

[@939driver]

Another great episode to watch! And even featuring your e60 M5! That car is just BMW heaven! Looking forward to seeing the M3 completed with those upgrades. Cheers from the Netherlands

[@mrmusic1880]

What an incredible episode this was! I simply can not believe how incredible that workshop is and how beautiful your S65 turned out. I am so eager to see the M3 back on the road and autobahn!

[@DEVAXTATOR-1]

thats is what i like to see petrolheads with oil running in veins and ALOT of break cleaner in the hands :) keep it up man!!

[@BkSMedia]

Very cool stuff going here, but that E34 M5 Touring is calling my name! I NEEEEEEED it.

[@maredox]

Pure BMW S porn...thanks! H2MS shop is a freakin Disneyland! Amazing episode! ❤

[@WiimanX2]

This is incredible. Proper insight into engineering and how in depth engines are. Hopefully this keeps going and doesn’t die out with all this EV nonsense going on

[@viggokoch6998]

The honing guy is absolutely right. In many cases we should say "learning be doing wrong"

[@speedystan7637]

Man i love watching these videos about BMW, ive only been watching this channel for a week and ive already learnt so much. Thank you so much for making these videos.

[@MapOfEurasia]

Fantastic episode! Man that M3 is gonna sound awesome!

[@tomtht3355]

Great episode. H2 are the real deal !😎

[@jackw4136]

The level of detail I aspire to achieve

[@ealoken]

There is no problems to sleeve alusil engines. But the choice of sleeve, piston, rings etc is critical. Thank you for a great video :)

[@eugenealymov2723]

Beautiful as always. This will be an epic car.

[@Rimmy1965]

Another epic and fascinating episode, dropped everything and watched as soon as I could, this is becoming very addictive 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Soravia]

For OE magnesium cover, refinish them with special oil resistant heat resistant Cerakote finish. It will last much longer than any paint coating you can find.

[@terhesiu]

does refinish them with electrostatic paint is a good idea?

[@Soravia]

@@terhesiu how durable is it under heat and chemicals?

[@kris856]

2:25 there is no better choice than Top-Mar - I am really glad you made this choice Sreten

[@Miauten]

Ich habe schon einige Videos von den Jungs bei H2Motors gesehen und ich kann mir gut vorstellen wie gut man sich fühlen muss wenn man seinen Motor dort abgibt und später wieder abholt. Danach weiß man einfach es ist alles perfekt 👌🏻 Das sind einfach Spezialisten die mit so viel Know how an die Sache ran gehen das ich mich jedes Mal freue das Endergebnis zu sehen! 😄 Meinen großen Respekt an H2Motors und auch an dich und deine Projekte! Weiter so! 👍🏻

I don't know why but everytime i watch your videos, i fall asleep and forget what i watched.

[@drtofuu]

Another great video Streten. I wish one day you would comment on the status of BMW today. The alpina guys... the h2motors guys... have not seen a single new BMW in their chambers either. It's time to have that conversation.

[@Martin.ac.85]

AFAIK the parts should be stored oiled up, to avoid surface rust. Edit: I’m talking about the crank

[@H2MotorsGmbH]

There is anti-rust in the Cleaner / Chemistry.
