When Striking Gold Is BAD? CHEAP BMW M6 Rod Bearing Replacement

$1,500 COMPLETE Rod Bearing Replacement Kit: www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-...
I bought a 2007 BMW M6 powered by the mighty S85 V10 for $3,750. Only to find out immediately that my E63 would need rod bearings. The Car Ninja and I tackled it in record time. This job called for 51 hours of work and it took us less than 8 included the next video. It's really not that difficult, just tedious and precise work.

The Car Ninja is one of my favorite youtubers who is not a youtuber.

[@B0xlife1]

He's got a channel, no videos tho lol

[@papitosabe]

Yea, doesn't seem snakey whatsoever, nor a slick talker. Very cool, calm, and collected calmington tone. I'd watch him over a lot of other car channels out there.

Night and day difference. That's why I don't even mess with serious stuff like sub frame drops or anything more serious than alternators, brakes, starters, etc because I have no air tools or strong enough power impacts to even tough this rusted shit here in Wisconsin! Damn salt fucks it all up

The Car Ninja comes across as such humble, hard working guy! It's a pleasure to see him working.

[@HondaSolutions]

BMW the only manufacturer that accepts rod bearing replacement as “maintenance “

[@severinpridal1355]

No, not really. that is std maint on industrial engines

[@LAG09]

The classic BMW onwership experience in Germany has always been to drive it hard for a max 4 years, fiddle with the odometer and sell it before it starts making the blue smoke. No point in making things like that last when they fail after it's been sold on and hence won't affect the original owners' decision to buy another. It was only a few years ago that they made it illegal to tamper with the odometer and that came after years of dogged resistance from industry and consumer advocate groups so they lease the cars now.

[@StachiBCNR33]

I call BS. Watch M539 Restorations. He's the JRGO of Frankfurt an BMW's

[@TheBrokenLife]

@@severinpridal1355 "Standard" after a bazillion hours, or something so huge the crank literally crushes the bearings to death, perhaps. 80,000 miles at 60mph is a whole 1,333 hours. Double it just for sport and it's still embarrassing...

[@AaronSmith-kr5yf]

@@severinpridal1355 Yeah I think its generally accepted practice to refresh the bearings and piston rings on a semi truck engine every million miles or so. So yes replacing rod bearings is "standard maintenance" lol. Of course a lot of the time the rest of the truck is trashed by the time the engine wears out.

This was so satisfying to watch. Makes this serious repair look easy with all the confidence between the two of you. Our X5 needs a new oil pan gasket, and have to drop the subframe and the diff and suspension to get to it. Definitely going to have Jonny do that one once the leak gets bad enough!
