Wow 80 mins and not a second of it wasted ,in fact I wish I saw more. Excellent work on both the car and editing 👍👍

So glad there's no music or other distractions. Just pure content. Very enjoyable to watch.

Sometimes you find a gem of a channel, this is one of them. Glad that I found yours! Filmed perfectly with good commentary that I can learn from.

55:07 looks like it just rolled off the assembly line in 1994!! Nice work mate

You deserve that pint, fantastic work, attention to detail is brilliant. Great work and you should be proud of that engine

Project M539 reloaded. A lot more details and just as good. Keep up the good work.

Fabulous walk thru + Play by Play Commentary.

This is the most comprehensive M70 content I've ever seen.

Love the excitement in your voice throughout this video!

Well done Sir! This episode was worth the wait. It brought such a large smile on my face when you cranked her up! Keep up the good work! Finally I would definitely do the body work prior to the suspension etc...

The joyous “holy fuck” when it turned over made me a fan. Congrats!

That engine bay is pristine

Since you say there is rust in the rear suspension, you should remove the rear subframe and see what, if any rust is hidden. Great job by the way! I just finished doing the heads on my 91 850i, and my first start, happened pretty much the same as yours did😁

No envy here, only admiration and congratulations.

Always a satisfying moment after all the graft with these big engines well done 👏

Hi Steve, it’s Alan, the last owner of your beautiful 850. Fantastic work under the bonnet and really pleased that the engine was in good enough condition to benefit from the extensive rebuild and all your effort. I hope the rest of the car can also take the work that’s needed. I look forward to seeing the videos when you are ready. Best regards.

Feature length, eh? Savage work gone into that. A beaut, no doubt. Can't wait to see it out and about 👍

Must be a great feeling 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥that first start 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿amazing work

I must admit, when i saw you realizing the starter is broken, i thought, oh no another month or more to wait until we get to see/listen the engine running. Great job, great content which was worth the long waiting. Thank you for sharing it. 👍👍🤝

Welcome back 😊. Awesome and detailed video as usual. Waiting anxiously for the next video. Greetings from South Africa.

Finally. Yes. loving the series, been waiting patiently since the last one. Awesome work!

Only just found the channel really enjoying it

That’s a beast of a job restoring the engine bay and the rebuild of top end. Always a bit worrying on first start ( just finished a total rebuild of my e39 M5) plus a huge relief when it fires up and completes its first heat cycle. I’ve been using your video for a diy guide on the intake gaskets for my 91 850i/6. The old wiring casing(plastic shielding) and rubber hoses (fuel, pcv) are completely brittle. It’s like delicate surgery trying not to break anything that isn’t being replaced yet at least until the engine is up and running again

An excellent job by a true professional and a Guiness test by a true Irishman ! I do like BMW they are superb. A few years ago I had an E32 seven series, 3 litre, which I kept for 10 years; Glacier Blue and Dove Grey leather. I miss it. Interestingly I sold it to a man from the irish Republic. A V12 8 series is the tops. I thinks its worth you carrying on with the restoration, thought its expensive.

excellent work fella, and your editing skills are now much better than before

Congratulations - BIG moment!!

Thanks Steve,Excellent work! Now I know how to replace my starter motor!

Great project... at 13:35 your rubber fuel return line touches the air cond. fill line. You shoud add some extra thickness at the place where they touch if you cannot put some space in between. in time it will eat through the fuel line.

The “dont f*ck this up” moment was the subscribe decision point for me. Great narration.

I simply LOVE watching your work, superb video. Thanks

Respekt and thanks for this wonderful job, what a great pleasure to see the fruits of your work resulting in a shiny and perfectly working engine. I am looking really forward for your new videos. The main reason I bought a dirty E32 750i that sat for 16 years are your videos. Tks again.

Great mechanic skills you have sir

Glad to see the result so good. Congratulations!

Eventually!!!!! Roll on seeing this on the roads in Louth

No words to express how helpful this is. Thanks for taking the time to share!

Congratulations,great job TITAN!!!

Absolutely amazing work!!

Great videos. I enjoyed watching them all the way from Portland Oregon.

Finally a KZfaq suggestion worth watching!!!!!!

Nice work man!

Congratulations, well done sir! I’m traveling the same road with a ‘98 540 and can’t wait to turn the corner on putting it back together again and starting her up. Cheers!

Thank you Steve! I just did a lot of the same work to my 850 6spd. Practically new rubber parts everywhere, bead blasting intakes and other parts. I was hoping for this video 2 weeks earlier, however I got my car pulled together and running past weekend. Actually, your videos inspired me to dig deeper in my 850 and replace more necessary parts. Great to see your car start and run, great work!!!!

A great video. I really like your comments and descriptions as you progress.

Perfect Work 💙💜❤️ Respect 👍🏽

good to see you're back!

It's Christmas every time you turn the key. Congrats Mate

Awesome detail subbed to see how the rest goes given the quality of work done.

I wondered what had happened to this old girl! Good to see the progress and the engine sounds healthy. Looking fwd to what comes next.

Great work really ! These 1 hour and 20 minutes felt like a breeze. Looking forward to the next step

Just watched all episodes, amazing work! Looking forward to next parts

Welcome back 🙂 love your episodes. Hope for more. I would proceed with the rust and afterwards the suspension issues. Keep on with more often videos

Very nice! Love to see more.

Great video just needed an intermission. You can restore discolored reservoirs for washer fluid and coolant with sulfamic acid. Works perfectly. Will try to post the KZfaq link. Cheers

Без лишней музыки, хорошее видео thanks mister

Wll done! Your practical approach is very good!

You did a phenomenal job on this vehicle and should be commended. Congratulations!

Excellent stuff and great editing.

Started like a german uboat. But you did a perfect job. Love your video!

Cracking job with this so far! Really enjoying the videos

Big thx for all your videos ! It's really helpful

The Guiness smoothness test was epic. Incredible job, well done. Good luck with the rusty parts.

Great work. Thanks for the details

wow! Very detailed job!

Love the whole series! That engine sounds like a sowing machine, what a marvelous beast!

Great work!!! Really enjoyed the video!

Great video, great series. I hope you get many enjoyable drives out of it. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the future!

Great work Steve!! Love your series!

Steve. Greetings from the Virgin Islands. What an absolute treat it was to watch you go through this process. It was fascinating to see not only how it was done but also getting to see how you kept all of this so organized. Excellent job on the whole series. Can’t wait to see you continue on this journey.

Well done sir ! Enjoy your beauty !

Guiness test was wonderful!)

More than an hour full of entertainment, THANKS A LOT!

Beautiful car! Great job.

I properly enjoyed this.

Great job! Congrats! I used to have 2001 BMW 750 IL, love that engine!

Thank you sir for all your hard work, just the mechanical work alone is crazy and I can't imagine the editing/filming part, has to be 100's of hours. You sir are a beast! Can't wait to see the next one.

Great job mate!

Really great work Steve! Congrats! Just binge watched the whole series so far - looking forward to the next episodes!! Top stuff 👌

I had an ear to ear smile when that baby fired up 😄 You did an awesome job sir as always, loving this series so much. Can't wait for more. Have a good one, cheers ✌

Just wow, amazing work! I'm restoring the m73n of my 750ial currently. Moving in on the finish line to start up

Magnificent! Function and form, beautiful attention to detail and did it the right way. Solid investment in doing it ALL the right way. Congrats and look forward to seeing more.

Congratulations on a job very well done! Your hard work and attention to detail is top shelf my friend. Love this project, your channel and you as a person. Looking forward to more content on the restoration of this beautiful 850!

Well done!

Nice work man, congrats.

Well done mate just watched your video on the 850i enjoyed every minute of it 👍👍👍

Great work Steve... I drove a 1991 850 for a month or so a few years back...told myself I would do a restomod on one in the future..time to do it. Your channel is very helpful. I built an Ultima GTR in 2010.. pretty straight forward so am looking forward to buying and starting. Great job Steve Mark....New Zealand

Well done mate

mate what a nice watch. Congrats!

Great video, like you I was so glad to see it start . Best of luck with the rest of the car and can't wait to see more video from you...soon.

Incredible! I've been rationing these videos for myself since discovering your channel a few months ago, almost a bit sad when I started watching thinking the finale would be your last. Looking forward to body and suspension work!

Great to see another 8 back on the road soon. I put a Quaiffe LSD fitted to my CSI so worth looking at, it makes a big difference in cornering and on wet surfaces. Having the whole rear axle refurbished with new bushes also notably a big improvement. New shocks all round will be worth doing,

Great video ! By far one of the most in dept videos of the e31 . I appreciate you taking the time to show us everything in detail .

Very nice, cheers for making these 😁

I watched this video a while ago. Great content, wonderful car. I look forward to seeing more videos. Matt

Amazing efforts mate, a job well done

Thanks Steve, just found your channel last night and have already watched all episodes, thouroughly entertaining and have now subscribed. Waiting for the startup.

Can’t believe how smooth it runs. Congratulations man. Hope you get all the funds you need to keep it up.

Well done to you sir your a very lucky man having the intelligence to strip and re build that lovely car excellent to you enjoy your Guinness
