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.

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 👌

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

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

@@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
