Hey brother I own a 2013 m5 it shut off on me the other day while I was cruising on the highway didn’t have any signs of a knock or failure. When I try to start it it just clicks could you tell me if it’s just locked up or something else

Nice work brother. Congratulations you deserve it. Brother I’ve got an f10 m5 in Monte Carlo blue and was wondering if you can help me. I purchased the race oil valve cooler and wanted to install it and couldn’t find it anywhere near the oil filter. Is it inside the sump?

I bought my dream car m5 competition 2019 and engine seized after 1 week of owning i feel you bro

Man as a f90 owner I am fearful. I can only imagine the moment you found out. I wish I was mechanically inclined enough to do this much work myself in the unfortunate event this happens, but I don’t even have the tools to do it even if I wanted to try. Consider yourself blessed for having the means, knowledge and willingness to tackle such a job. Truly inspiring.

Question would the 2017 s63 M5 motor with it's technical upgrades, swap into a 2013 m5 manual???

My e90 n46 went out early2023 the same way .I drove it to the mech who told me to get a replacement engine and the new engine much better a new breath of life. no issues with this one

I'm rollin in a '15 F10 M5 CS s63tu. At 65k and starting to sweat a little on repairs. I totally appreciate what you're doing, as I plan to do my own wrenching as well. I will never sell this car, so much love for M5! Keep wrenching and recording my man, we need you.

Great job! Where did you find the S63TU Repair Manual? Is is something in ISTA or TIS?

Love the vids on the rebuild! Question… what are you using for a rebuild reference? Where do you get all the torque specs/ step by step type information… I assume your not just doing this by the seat of your pants? Keep the rebuild vids coming? It’s going to be so fulfilling once it is done! Proud of your for taking the step into the unknown!

Do you have a full list of all the parts you need for the oil pans install, I’m looking to re-do my rod bearings. & i know all the bolts need to be replaced and torqued when installed. Also, where did you purchase ista-d from?

Any plans of working on the n63 platform im looking at getting a m550i

Hats off man that you do this on your own. I wish you would actually make videos along the way, although I would never try this alone :)

Thanks for the video! Would love to see a technical video on the valves... and more in depth video clips on the engine rebuild instead of pictures! I am thankful for the clip of the oil pump as it confirms rumors that the S63TU uses a different upper oil pan (with an oil pump chain tensioner). The N63, S63 and N63TU1 all require periodic dropping of the lower oil pan to adjust the tension of the oil pump chain since it doesn't have a chain tensioner like your S63TU.

Glad to see you back. Glad to see the positive progress. It is one thing to buy one of these car but it is another to be able to keep it. Thank you for your valuable contributions to the F1x M5/M6 community. You information sharing will go a long way toward helping us not only buy but also make more informed decisions on how to afford to keep them. Much Success.

Excuse me why are you so fucking underrated? ?

Love the passion, the presentation and your sharing this journey with us. Adding you to my prayer list. Much success.

This is definitely a bucket list thing for me. I have been through 2 engines in my M6 GC. Both have been done by an engine builder. The first was stock and the 2nd is forged. If you still have it open please consider replacing the rods with aftermarket. My stock rebuild left me stranded last July 4th out by Sanford. You speak the truth about the Inline 6. We have 3 BMW's N55, N63TU and my M. The inline 6 has been a great car. The other two are great cars but will bleed you dry but I still enjoy them.

I can't believe that I am early a year late to this. It is very hard to find good S63TU content like this. Sorry to hear of the trouble but you are a boss for taking this on.

Glad you're rebuilding it and making it bettern How many miles did this have on it? Any indication what caused it?

When is the next video? Enjoying the content 👍

Engine will grenade on first crank 😂

I have an F10 M5, with 80k miles. Got it at 19k miles and it has been flawless so far. Tuned since 20k miles. Doing injectors and valve cover gaskets right now. Knock on wood it doesn’t spin the bearings. But from what I know its mainly due to long oil change intervals. I only run amsoil 5w-50. Kudos to you for tackling this job

19:37 It seems your plastigauge measurements were off the scale (ie. too tight) Was this with new bearings? Is that OK like that?

Did you replace timing chains as well? If you did where you purchase?

Bro what a nightmare, as a owner of the M550i I’m on my “3” engine! Great car, love it when it’s working but for as complex as this engine it’s crazy how fragile they are. Bro I hope you are able to get it back on the road soon, best of luck and respect fam!

Where did you get the manual from with all the steps and torque sequences

Very nice video I like all the in-depth details about torque specs and how you put things together for the bottom man. What made you go with ACL rod bearings over king? And did you get rod bearings that are slightly smaller so there is more oil film between the rod, bearing and the crank?

When the anesthesia wears off in the middle of brain surgery 😅

Huge respect for taking this engine out without a hoist - You're working on a garage floor 😂 reminds me of someone I know very well. Great job my friend, let's break the barrier on all negativity surrounding the S63 engines.

Seems like the Miata wanna say (hey kid got some oil ) 👁️!👁️

wow, wtf

“For the m5” Neomaxi zoom dweebi: um its mx-5 buddy☝️👃🤓🤓

Did you end up building it?

You should by tesla model 3 standart range with rear wheel drive. Amazing car! traded-in my F10 BMW with tesla and never looked back. Its not worth your time fixing that oil burning trash can.

Did you analyze why the engine failed on one piston in particular? Bent rod? This is a common issue on tuned F90s. I heard f10 engines suffer from rod bearing failures but always figured it was too long oil intervals or owners not topping up. What was your oil change interval and did it require top ups between changes? It definitely doesn't look like an oil pump failure since the other rods were not wiped out as well. I apologize for asking so many questions but it is always wisest to learn from other people's mistakes :)

you are brave for doing this on your own. Continue the great work.

Hey brother that’s for you video. So I have a BMW 2014 M5 with 63,000 miles. The car is bone stock do you think I should change my rod bearings? I don’t drive the car that hard but you know sometimes I push it. BTW I don’t think you stupid for self diagnosing you car because obviously it’s cheaper to figure it out yourself and the F10 M5 is a beautiful car that we should keep on the streets. Thanks again for the content I appreciate it.

I think its better to do the rod bearings before 90k miles. I did some research, checked out accidental auction. I noticed that every bmw f10 m5 with such issues have 100k miles and above. I think its best to take care of it as early as possible. I bought a 2013 m5 two months ago with 75k miles, i was trying to make sure am ahead with maintenance. That was the reason for my research.

Great update video ‼️‼️ These past videos your kinda running us through the major steps ur doing. Do you think you can make videos of specific things as your putting the engine back together. For example video of you putting the crankshaft in and measuring clearance with plasti gauge. Then another video of how to properly torque down the rod caps. Just more in depth videos would be bad ass man. And ur channel will blow up if you do that. Cuz all us s63 owners need someone to pave the way for doing this as a diy job and saving some money. Appreciate you man. And so stocked your read my comment on ur video. I recently did downpipes coils and new plugs on mine. And rear differential fluid change

What’s up bro been keeping up with the build but definitely wanted to comment at 354 subs cause man your gonna blow for sure 🔥🔥

Big respect to you bro for working on this nightmare lol, definitely not easy and very complicated engine. I had to work on an n63 valve stem seals and did remove both heads while engine in car. it was super fun lol. keep us updated.

I heard that the newer twin-turbo 4.4L V8 design is far more reliable than ever. Seen people on KZfaq loving the updated engine. Would it be possible to install it in your car?

Great stuff, love being able to wrench my own car 🔧

I feel for you bro, either you have the money/warranty to deal with the inevitable issues… or you’re extremely handy with your hands and can perform the work yourself.

Man this made my day!! The fact that you tackled this on your own and are coming out on top, happy ending(thanks man!). Where did you go to learn this? I mean this specific engine. I’m looking at an f85 X5M and want want to buy a copart one just to wrench on it. That way I can babe a 2nd engine on stand by. Thoughts?

So many people think the S63 doesn't have rod bearing issues smh. As an E60 M5 owner, who also does all the work on his BMW himself, I feel your pain

I recently found metal shavings in my n55 engine. I took it to a shop and they found scoring on cylinder 1-5. They are gonna need to be re-sleeved so I might as well do forged internals and a big turbo while im there. I haven't looked inside but im guessing the cause of the shavings is rod bearings. typical pwg n55
