What Went wrong? BMW e23 engine Tear down

[@brianpagemodeltrains]

Black centers on the wheels is my vote! It'll look sharp with the silver outer rims.

[@fortheloveofcarz]

That would look cool.

[@dirksteffen9375]

the moment you brought up the wheel options I was instantly screaming at the screen ORIGINAL SILVEEEEEEEER! But …. as you brought up your wife loving the gold, …. of course you absolutely have to go with the gold. you just have to. you will have to give the car a few very subtle sporty modifications so the gold centers don’t look off, … think very very subtle lowering (don’t overdo it, many of these cars have been completely ruined by too low and too big wheels), score a nice original Alpina exhaust, an original boot spoiler lip, … such subtle things.

[@fortheloveofcarz]

I would love to find the boot spoiler! That would be awesome. I am not interested in stancing the car that's for sure. I will lower the front a touch though for sure.

If Monica likes the gold, then go for the gold !

[@fortheloveofcarz]

The gold is growing on me.

@@fortheloveofcarz Noooo, you paint the rims, not you! hee hee

[@msmrepo3271]

Buy a puller mate, they cheap and very useful for lots of bearings. Great vid though

[@fortheloveofcarz]

Yeah I need one.

[@mdirken]

Great video’s! And i like your humor and optimism, keep up the spirit, you will love this car when it’s finally done. I’ve got one for about 12 years now. Never let me down. And lose the gold spray on the rims, I think it’s tacky, but that’s just an opinion, it’s your car, you decide!! ☺️👍

[@fortheloveofcarz]

Thanks! I am so excited to get it rolling!!

[@billturner6564]

We all like the original wheels please leave them on the car its the best look

[@fortheloveofcarz]

I don’t mind those wheels. There is a reason I am replacing them that has nothing to do with the look. You can’t get good tires for a 14 inch wheel. They are so bad.

[@billturner6564]

@@fortheloveofcarz you are really doing well i am hooked on your videos And I am sure you will keep the old wheels so they can go back on at a later date You say that car has no value.... I would say it is Priceless as you can't find them anymore I will await the next installment with patient anticipation

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

In the first minute of the video, I can tell you exactly what the problem with this engine was. By the looks of it, It was used as a boat anchor.

[@fortheloveofcarz]

The block was a bit rusty.

[@ehw1615e]

Silver

[@fortheloveofcarz]

Thanks

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

For the wheels, they'd look better if you wear a gold chain and sport a gold tooth smile. Otherwise, it depends on you desire to dig in. Preferentially, I'd remove the gold. Too pimping.

[@fortheloveofcarz]

I am leaning more and more toward the gold. It just seems to break up the all black a bit. but I haven't totally made up my mind yet.

[@angelisone]

Do you know where I can get & find a 1986 BMW 735i (E23) camshaft or better with a full camshaft kit?

[@fortheloveofcarz]
