How is it this guy only has 459 subscribers? The quality of the video is amazing!

Fantastic work, camera angles, and synth. I would pay for tutorial videos like this that detail every step by step with narration on how to do these tasks. As an owner of a '93 850ci, this makes it possible for anyone that is somewhat mechanically inclined to dig in and do this work themselves. Would love to see a list in the video description of parts/part numbers used as I would like to mimic your videos. Thanks again! 😎

This whole build has been great, I have enjoyed every moment of it.

It's sad to see that exceptional work without thousands of viewers. I love the music but I think it would be better if you explain the torque of the bolts and the things that you do to restore the car. I believe that those simple things could help to improve your channel. Thanks for your content from Spain.

Nice work. Few tips though... on the lower pan, always remove any bolt puckering on the holes from previous techs not using proper torque - and do NOT use sealant, as it actually breaks the cork. Kudos on the zip tie method too, not many know that one. Also, as you've likely figured out already, putting the water pump back on before the harmonic balancer is a good idea ;) . The Valley pan gasket & bolts... chase all the threads with a thread chasing tap, replace the studs, and use a thread sealant (not locker) on all of them - especially the studs. The Valve covers use acorn nuts on most all of the studs except the ones that have the rubber stand-off to the manifolds or fuel return lines. I've built these engines for over 20 years... M70's, S70's, & 6 Liter sleeved monsters. They are super reliable when done correctly.

Very nice car to restore. Looks good. I am currently restoring an F30 335i but it's not as old.

Well... Because of you I want to buy a retro car and restore it

Thanks for sharing! I did my 850 M70 about a year ago, it brings back fond memories. These cars are great to work on even for a newbie like me. So many oil, pentosin, coolant hoses to replace! I don’t know the condition of your valve seals, but that would have been a perfect time to replace them if needed. I used the compressed air method and it was quite methodical and relaxing to do the job. I wrote down the order of steps to do each intake and exhaust seal before doing the task to be sure I didn’t screw up. Nice rims on your car.

This idea to mix good music sound from the 80's and your mechanic skills makes your channel unique for me !... Always a good time spent to watch your videos !... the only problem I found : you make us addict and we always need more !!!!!

I safety wired my Banjo Bolts. Lock tabs work just as well. Visual Reference as to they were tightened correctly. Looks good

Great video, keep it up !! Love to see more…BTW great music !!

Good, always look forward to a new episode! Here we go

Beautiful work! Can’t wait for the next video.

Hello from Greece. I love your videos. Keep up the good work 🙂

Love to see the upload! The quality of your work is fantastic!

Fantastic video! Absolutely love the fact that you've divided the video of each moment in separate sections.

Excellent, keep it up! 🙂

Szuper melo ! Uj koraban sem volt jobb ! Lassan berofentes. Udv.

Last question for you. Which workshop manual do you refer to in order to find torque specs on all the engine bolts?

I hope you got that piece of cotton out of the banjo bolt.

Did you put a dab of RTV or Reinsoil at the mating surface for the head and the timing cover and also at the back?

Also, where do you get the copper lock tabs at the 12:17 min mark? Link? Thanks!

Great work, you earn a sub from me🙂

How did you lock the motor to torque the crankshaft bolt?
