WE BOUGHT AN ABANDONED BMW ALPINA B10 V8 BUT WILL IT RUN?

[@raythomason3]

It's your business; you are entitled to post your interesting videos in any sequence you wish.

[@simonfowler1290]

I own a E46 B3 Alpina that I have done a lot of work on but life got in the way about 3 years ago & I haven't touched it since, this is just the inspiration I need to get it finished, thanks chaps.

[@garysmith8025]

Chris working in a shirt reminds me of my grandad, top hgv mechanic always wore a shirt whilst at work, you never know when you maybe pulled away for an emergency pint.

[@shaunwhitmore3291]

Just love a E39, I genuinely beleive this era of cars was the peak. Everything since has been built for profit. It felt like these were built for quality.

[@Justjad007]

100% mate it's all a money game now back then it was about pride...🤜🤛🤙🫡

[@chrispenn715]

I'm not usually a BMW fan, but this is a lovely car...... Nice to see it rescued.

[@peterdale7896]

Part of the attraction of the channel is not knowing what to expect when it comes to which vehicle you will be working on. Success as always guys. Great car..

[@garfield2279]

I agree, though sometimes when there's a gap I find it difficult to remember the car In question, as soon as the clip of the car being dragged out of the driveway was played it all fell into place

[@tomcurran65]

I love the genuine excitement when you get one started, great watching two buddies getting stuff done!

[@silvermv6]

Does anybody remember when chris was too shy to even appear on video..he now narates and films his own stuff...come a long way ..well done chris

[@BLX187]

yep.

[@petefisher9157]

You take the spark plugs out Chris, I'll do the hard work and go and get some more.....comedy genius...my wife laughs every time when this happens. Seriously I love your videos thanks very much for all your efforts.

[@elvispresley3340]

HA - 33.0C - PERFECT weather - CHEERS from AUSTRALIA

[@criticalbrisket]

Get in!! Always nice to see a classic brought back to life

[@michaelgallagher7082]

Guys you’re content is awesome who cares about the order they come in just as long as as we get our fix❤

[@dexietyy7922]

What a beautiful machine I love the E39 and the E46 definitely the best era of bmw ever 😁👍

[@grahamanderson3426]

Guy on KZbin m539 in Germany would probably love this car

[@tcaspers]

Guy in Germany would probably love this car 👋

[@mickboakes7023]

It’s all about continuity. Can’t see how people can’t see that. Take no notice. You’re doing well. All the best. Mick.

[@neilstokescvwshrewsbury7939]

I have been with this channel long enough, to remember when you couldn’t get two words out of Chris and he was camera shy ! 🎥

[@r-a-dtvrevive-a-drivelanca4506]

My favourite video of the year guys Please please do the works on this beauty she is worth it .

[@leanne4097]

Chris is a clever bloke 👍🏻

[@garethbond3631]

Loving Chris having a krypton analyser on the shelf. Smashing content Gentlemen.

[@firesaab31]

Just a few months into following you guys, and I can say I am not bothered which order the videos come out in. Your channel provides good and interesting content. I am older and cars like this catch my attention. In saying that I like the Clio hybrid video and look forward to an update on that. Keep mixing it up guys 👍

[@GordonNicol]

Great to see my all time favourite car in the channel, if you finish it, it will be stunning in that colour. Now the engine runs main issue is rust, check the sills, behind the body kit and the jacking points

[@mikephelan563]

That smile when Chris says, shall we see if it turns on the key, classic.

[@andrewwilson1118]

Look forward to finished motor another classic rescued.👍👍👍

[@nicholasdavies6264]

Please please please just Hoover out all that debris near the wipers before touching the engine ! Maybe I’m wrong but crikey ! 👍same in the boot !

[@michaelwilson3844]

I was going to make the same comment, thinking along the same lines , it’s the OCD inside me 😂

[@djemmay]

@@michaelwilson3844same for me too. Just a quick tidy up will do for now. 😂

[@hemtet5500]

Aarrgghh that debris made this video almost unwatchable sorry but you want feedback.

[@paulbeecham8313]

How smooth did that sound first start, cant wait to see her driving up the road, a real beauty

[@L33KDK]

I’m so invested in this project Best content I have seen this year thanks fellas love it

[@Buysellpost246]

I don’t care how the videos come out. I just love watching every new project and I love watching it to the end. Keep up the good work.

[@Akbar-dq6vs]

My favourite channel on KZbin always a pleasure to watch.

[@andrewmorton3177]

Guys when it comes to working on these, check out m539 restorations. Sreten is the man! 😉 He would have a fit at you going to a breakers for a fuel pump though 😂 Please see this one all the way through 🙏🏻

[@eddieblaber1009]

Really enjoyed this installment guy ,can't wait for the part shame the videos aren't longer 😊

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Robs classic quote, brand new second hand, brilliant post guys great to see a classic car getting the chance to run again 😊

[@patrickhill8748]

Been a while mates, another great video. I remember the first ones where Chris didn’t even want to be seen on there videos and now he’s all over it!! Well done Chris!

[@teamemusrcreviews3225]

Keep up the quality work, you don’t have to justify any of your activity as you run a business to make a living, I accept your videos and updates as and when your ready to give them. Quality work, you give me drive and enthusiasm with vehicles and to succeed in life!!!!!!🚗👍❤

[@XxH3llC4TxX]

Well Done again lads. Another cracking video and what a brilliant sound, sounds lovely for 26 years old. Can't wait to see more on this!

[@jez9633]

I’m intrigued to hear using diesel & a bit of oil sprayed down the bores helps release everything up or helps nurse the engine back to life 👍

[@ashleybowers9195]

Keep doing what you’re doing, don’t change a thing

[@roypowell3450]

Well done the "will it run boys". What a lovely car and looking forward to its progress👍. Thanks guys...

[@grahamepigney8565]

When jumping an E39 you should connect it under the bonnet not in the boot. The jump connections are under the bonnet so that they are as close as possible to a. the starter and b. the electronics. There is also another sender unit in the left-hand lobe of the fuel tank (the fuel tank straddles the prop shaft).

[@Unknown65151]

Chris Oiled you up in the last video, And gassed the Van out in this 😂

[@AllenTaylor-lu9bu]

Just wanted to pass on my thanks for including discount codes in your videos. My 12 year old Ford Focus original battery died and I used your code for Tayna batteries, fantastic price on the battery and delivered the next day - well happy😆

[@danielsellers8538]

Enjoying is not the word, Brilliant thank-you

[@BrianTaylor-d1m]

I’m glad you got it running. Look forward to seeing how this project develops.

[@grahamhardy1358]

Notice how quick Rob nominated Chris to standby the rags 😂😂

[@petrolhead28]

I knew that would run. Probably the best made bmw. Still fancy another e39

[@daviestewart2510]

33 degrees! You must have been sweating like a 20 year old Transit at an MOT station!

[@Me-zo8yc]

😆😆😆

[@ianhearn9655]

I love your reaction everytime you get a starter. Nice one Rob and Chris 👍

[@CampervanJon]

The content on this channel gets better and better, great work guys

[@derekgb3780]

I like those "brand new second hand" spares 😁

[@jdb1013]

Chris/Rob you don’t have to justify yourselves on the videos, just really happy to see the new content, keep it coming ❤

[@Parknest]

Rob & Chris, as a fellow content creator, I know where you're coming from. I make my videos in a similar way. I usually concentrate on a specific job on any given car (not always one of my own). That Alpina is crying out for a good clean. It is worth saving due to the rarity alone.

[@bentaylor9021]

These old Aplinas are awesome. My old boss had one. Goes like a bomb. For its size at the time it was hell of a car. I’d still love one today.

[@vegasphil]

Im sure chris has a leaf blower somewhere. Dead handy and satisfying for blowing all the rubbish, spiders/cobwebs out of scuttle panels, door shuts and engine bay before starting work if you get one like this again!

[@itsmephil2255]

Not a fan of modern BMW's but these classics are awesome Looking forward to seeing more of this

[@peterdnreynolds777]

Brilliant work and brilliant video as always!! Chris's knowledge of engines is superb. Hope all is well, take care

[@trevorjarvis3021]

It’s a runner!! 😊 yes! 🤜🤛

[@airlinephoto]

Awesome. I got a 523i recently non runner changed the box to manual. Still need to finish it. Lovely old cars.

[@dave6445]

I remember having an E39 2.8i straight six. what a motor that was. Great to see a classic on the program! Keep up the good word lads!

[@ewanstewart8011]

That really is a beautiful car with a fabulous colour combination and it sounds great 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

[@gazgrill3700]

Seeing this brings an instant smile to my face. I love my E39, but the Alpina version is top notch.

[@Marty-C62]

More content with the Aplina pls love to see it cleaned up & rolling it deserves a second life !!!!

[@liammaguire5625]

Rob and Chris will turn that Alpina into a cracking motor. 👏

[@patrickcorrigan6141]

Great content guys!!keep it up!!

[@Google_Is_Evil]

You guys should invest in an endoscope. You could have looked inside the tank of this car and inside the engine of the Range Rover (or was it a Land Rover) to see if it was damaged without pulling the head off it. It will save you so much time and they aren't that dear anymore.

[@jimmy6754]

Love the videos lads, little tip, there's a polish lads on KZbin m539, restores bmw's, he restored a alpina b8, had a few problems doing it, but he's great with them, might drop him a dm and ask questions, it would be worth it👍

[@trekshogun]

Classic motor ,just wouldn't want the cost of refuelling it ! Nice one guys getting it to run👍

[@MercuryCircuit]

Great stuff. Loving it. Keep up the great content chaps 😊

[@georgedaville4662]

What a find, beautiful Alpina and it runs 👍🇬🇧😎

[@johnallright6847]

Remember watching this pick up some months ago with a bottle of wine and now with another bottle am watching how it it goes....

[@davidbarnsley8486]

I would really love to see you guys sort this one out It is such a nice car I do hope we have another video with underneath clean up and some work 👍👍🇦🇺

[@Wiltshire-observer]

Great !.. One of those cars that needs to be continually used, a proper mile muncher. I expect it will drive like a dream once serviced. Good luck with the driver’s door !.

[@technicaldisaster1003]

Chris should keep that and just fix necessary.. love The smoke coming out

[@brianallan1036]

You guys never let me down,So much experience,You deserve every penny you earn,Even loose change.

[@terryramsey1470]

Mint video again fellas personally I am not bothered which order the videos come as I find them all very interesting love to see this one up and running proper old school bmw take care and stay lucky and healthy 👍 looking forward to Wednesday's video 📹 already 😊❤

[@leenihill2188]

Enjoyed this old school problem solving no faffing around with computers to get error codes just pure and simple mechanics

[@RayEvans-s6j]

Love the way you keep the Workshop clean and tidy. Love the Videos only wish I knew as much as you guys do.

[@jonricketts6570]

Great work boys looking forward to seeing this progress

[@martin54123]

After 12 years that is impressive, looking forward as always to the follow ups.👍👍👍

[@sociopathicnarcissist8810]

I hope you guys have watched M539 Restsorations content on the Alpina.

[@darrencraig8654]

What a lovely car they don't make them like that now can't wait for the next video

[@danielwelch5479]

[@westendwatch]

[@BobSmith-hz6bd]

That was never in any doubt it would start. Beemers of that era are quality 🙂 on my 3rd E36.

[@Martello--64]

Beautiful car, they dont make em like the use to. Ta for the vids lads.

[@kevinisaac9139]

Great video guys looking forward to seeing more on the bmw 👌

[@geoffh2560]

that's a special motor Rob, lovely to hear it running after all this time

[@steeshyboy]

This is go be a beauty. Hope you do the whole getting it back on the road on the channel!

[@MrIain73]

Exactly. Heinz-sight a great thing in Rob and Chris. You don’t know how long the video’s going to take. Plus with other projects you sometimes go away to do something else.( I totally get that Chris and Rob

[@jimschafer9196]

Great content guys I love the way your two team work together it is like poetry in motion hold on to that and do not let anything get between you too - what you to have is priceless.

[@mikefranky]

Soon as I saw the word Alpina I knew something special was going to happen…Cracking video guys great work ❤

[@MarkCairo]

The Apina wheels are nice if you can find the center caps for them, i had a set on my E30 convertible they looked the part

[@hojo9115]

I been waiting to see what happens with this. Thanks very much

[@richardjones5255]

A nice break point, now real work can start on all the snaggy bits.

[@russellcurtis2825]
