Great work as always! 4.6iS engines are becoming almost impossible to find.

These cars like this are amazing and good, the problem is the high fuel consumition. Nice video bro.

Tip: my airflow sensor was not working properly so I took a bounty sheet and put it between the sensor and it ran fine for years

The 4.6i M62 was nothing but trouble even when they were much newer - it was just one stretch too far and they ate head gaskets for dinner.

would love a good theory on how the engine shit itself. Afaik other than timing guides, the m62 is a monster of an engine!,

4.6is is an Alpina stroker motor, but the 4.8is is still the boss with the ZF 6 speed and valvetronic N62

@The777Garage Жыл бұрын

In real Alpina is hand built,but x5 is mass produced N62 got its own issues tho

@baitse7676 Жыл бұрын

@@The777Garage yup, I've had my N62 all in pieces to reseal it. Alpina came up with the formula for the 4.6is motor. When you scan one with an OBDII scanner, it even comes up as Alpina

Heavy that Ed, wonder if the rod was inherently weak from production and under load/time/fatique it just said I have had enough and went bye bye? 🤔 Good luck with the move 👌

Spark plug tip broke and got chewed up inside cylinder and punched a hole on the wall... coolant flushed inside cylinder somehow. It’s the 4-pong type spark plug right?
