I'm wondering how is that possible. Engine is closed system, tight seals everywhere. Beld is very stiff material and its a lot of rubber. Where the hell is the entrance point ? I can not imagine it right now.
The drive belt broke, wound around the crankshaft and got into the engine crankcase. A friend of mine had a similar situation on the same engine. I’ve even seen a special plate that some people put behind the damper to prevent the belt from getting into the engine.
Oil filter housing was leaking heavily. Dripped on the drive belt and made it slip off and get sucked into the engine. Very common when OFHG leak is not dealt with
The "rubber" debris you found inside the engine is a shredded serpentine belt, that's been sucked in through the front main seal of the engine. If it snaps or slides off the rollers, there is no space for it to escape so the engine sucks it in through the front main seal....Same happens on the N52 engine if it snaps.
What an absolute shame with this scenario, belt broke, got sucked up, blocked the pick up and well, "the car accidentally caught fire". I hope the previous owners phone only charges in the most horrible position.
Such a good video! Even for a guy like me who doesen't really understand engines, I get to learn so much from your strugles😄 And the axillary belt mistery made it 10 times better!
Really looking forward to the next video on this. It’s been a while since your last video, can only assume you really have your work cut out with this one! What an epic project though, the satisfaction when this is done!
I was hoping the engine would be saved so that it would be profitable for you. You are a hard worker. Good luck with the project I am sure you will make it work.
I started to following you after the E61 530dx videos and I must say your videos are super. Also you leave inside things you let fall or go bad. The struggle is real
Really enjoying the content so far, very nice that you do long episodes like this. Its really cool how you take out the engine without a lift, shows that everything is possible DIY.
oh no, the engine is known for eating the front belt. It can be because of: 1) bad motor mounts 2) oil cooler gaskets went bad and starts to leak on the belt 3) front crank seal starts to leak on the belt
Awesome work again on the car. I feel sorry for you, but it's good that you keep your head up and look at moving forward. The past indeed doesn't matter, you can't change it anyway. Hope that you'll find a good other engine. After the restoration work you really deserve to have it running again!
I've heard of this happening on some Bimmers. I believe the drive belt broke and wrapped around the crankshaft pulley and was ingested into the engine over time. The repair shop likely didn't clean it enough or check when they replaced the belt. EDIT: You mentioned it in the end of the video anyway 😆
i agree with the findings.. Im sure it is easier to get a block instead of heads with bad valves. So you maybe have two engines :) I enjoyed the video and I'm jealous that you could play with engine. I have no garage hehe
I thought it looked like a belt! But i couldnt understand how the F it got in there.. But when you mention it i have heard about this issue before. So crazy a BELT can end up INSIDE the engine like that!
Oj oj oj!!! 😮 Helt otroligt vilket jobb du gör. Jag hade aldrig orkat utan istället gått ut från garaget och kastat nyckeln 😉 Fantastiskt bra jobbat och väntar på nästa episod! PS. Hur går det med den andra E92?
I'm sure someone has already told you this. But that long stringy stuff you found in the crank shaft is a Serpentine Belt that came off due to all the oil leaking out from the front oil Filter housing gasket onto the Serpentine belt and then it slips onto the crank shaft and the crank shaft eats it!! No joke this is a common problem for those that don't watch their leaks and especially the filter housing gaskets! Then some people even will ignore that that has happened and put another serpentine belt on the car and drive it until it gets destroyed from oil starvation due to all the oil passages being clogged up with belt. It's nuts but it's true.
First thing to check is the engine . That's the starting point before doing anything else. My friend imported an 335i e93 from usa (never import a car from usa . NEVER) did all the bodywork then he find out that the engine is bad. I mean very bad. Again never ever (if you live in europe) Import that kind of car frim usa because kids there doesn't know what maintenance is.
It seems to mee that they scamed the insurance after the engine broke the light it up to get the money, if the fire was at the shop maybe the shop insurance did pay
My guess what happened would be: Filter gasket failed, spiolled oil on the belt, belt snapped, got eaten by the engine, belt pieces plugged up the oil pickup, owner replaced the belt, it started knocking, guy knew the engine was done and drove it like a mad man, tearing off the oxygen sensor wires, then the engine blew completely, it got parked, and the fire happened.
Such good content! Although I really hate that you got scammed like that. Not gonna lie, if it was bought through insurance I'd have reported the seller for fraud. Or if you have a written sales document from the seller you could consider legal action. The seller for sure knew that engine was bad.
OMG that was just amazing content bro what the fuck i thought that was gona be cheap silicone used on sealing gasket head or some other parts of engine block stunning vid bro you are a legend on what you do bro keep up the good channel bro👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
EMS Garage and M539 Restorations best BMW channels on RUclips 🔥
Awesome thanks😎😊
Amen 🙏🏻
@@EMSGARAGEE61for real. like this aint no opinion. its a fact. hope we get to see a e9x m3 or s85 powered bmw get restored by you haha.
Wow equal with M539 is high praise indeed!!
Absolutely agreed
YT recommended me your channel while watching M539 Restorations & since then I've watched every video. You deserve Millions of subscribers ❤️
That is belt material. Engine shredded the belt and sucked it in thru front crank seal. Oil filter housing leak can cause this and age
happened to me few weeks ago , BUT I had this 20$ ali serpentine guard ! best 20$ ever on this engine. takes around 1h to install.
@@098cpt yeah did my ofhg gaskets and replaced belt, tensioner and pulley as preventative maintenance.
I'm wondering how is that possible. Engine is closed system, tight seals everywhere. Beld is very stiff material and its a lot of rubber. Where the hell is the entrance point ? I can not imagine it right now.
@@A13tech like i said. Front crank seal. Read my comment. The harmonic balancer is open on the rear in contrast to other engines. Check photos.
Loved the "full M539 restoration" bit! 💯
The drive belt broke, wound around the crankshaft and got into the engine crankcase. A friend of mine had a similar situation on the same engine. I’ve even seen a special plate that some people put behind the damper to prevent the belt from getting into the engine.
Yes I have ordered it😃
Oil filter housing was leaking heavily. Dripped on the drive belt and made it slip off and get sucked into the engine. Very common when OFHG leak is not dealt with
Bro ur content is top notch. If you keep this up you'll get to tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of subscribers in no time. Good luck!

really nice to watch your vids for an evening chill
What an absolute shame with this scenario, belt broke, got sucked up, blocked the pick up and well, "the car accidentally caught fire". I hope the previous owners phone only charges in the most horrible position.
The editing makes enjoyable viewing. Your mechanical skills are on point. Best of luck with the rebuild! We’ll keep following your progress.
Get the after market crank guard to stop it swallowing the belt again.
Yep have ordered it😃
incredible problem! you scared me for ever with the belt!! very thanks you for your share! very good job !!
Such a good video! Even for a guy like me who doesen't really understand engines, I get to learn so much from your strugles😄 And the axillary belt mistery made it 10 times better!
Best BMW channel ❤

Best RUclips channel ever. I loce your content. No worries it happens I watch and like every video you make. Cheers🎉
Wow! Such a lot of work! I like how you explain what you are doing and name the parts you are dealing with. Great content!
oh no, the engine is known for eating the front belt. It can be because of: 1) bad motor mounts
2) oil cooler gaskets went bad and starts to leak on the belt
3) front crank seal starts to leak on the belt
Is that the auxiliary belt it’s eaten? How’s it managed that
Excellent video! If you could take us along for the purchasing/inspection of the engine you're buying, that would be awesome!
Good job man. And don't worry too much about the blown engine, at least we get more content to watch :D
Same thing happen to me. With the belt. Luckily, engine did not suck it in tho. Good luck with the other engine!
Awesome work again on the car. I feel sorry for you, but it's good that you keep your head up and look at moving forward. The past indeed doesn't matter, you can't change it anyway.
Hope that you'll find a good other engine. After the restoration work you really deserve to have it running again!
Cool! I wish you all the best on the rebuild/restoration! Please give us an update on the costs of the project.
Thats the belt for the alternator, power steering pump ect… not uncommon if the belt and tensinor is in bad shape😅
Goodluck with the engine. Good video!!
You're just incredible.. nice work
Love the content, but I hate these internal combustion engines, just too complex.
You are a machine
How have you only got 5k subs, your content is fantastic!! Keep up the good work and I'm sure your channel will grow 👌

very interesting video man. I'm sorry that you got scammed.
He trust Norwegians to much. But Norwegians are scammers, they have it in their blood.
I thought it looked like a belt! But i couldnt understand how the F it got in there.. But when you mention it i have heard about this issue before. So crazy a BELT can end up INSIDE the engine like that!
Sånt där kan ju knäcka ens psyke! Men som nån annan skrev här, du är en maskin 😅👏🏻 Grymt, bara att fortsätta! 🇱🇹💪🏻
Oj oj oj!!! 😮 Helt otroligt vilket jobb du gör. Jag hade aldrig orkat utan istället gått ut från garaget och kastat nyckeln 😉 Fantastiskt bra jobbat och väntar på nästa episod!
PS. Hur går det med den andra E92?
Takk, jobber med saken med den andre, håper på video på den snart😊
These videos are sick, makes me wanna do something ive never done and buy a high milage bmw e92 325i or 330i. Nice video!
I'm sure someone has already told you this.

Big boy done big job! 💪
First thing to check is the engine . That's the starting point before doing anything else.
My friend imported an 335i e93 from usa (never import a car from usa . NEVER)
did all the bodywork then he find out that the engine is bad. I mean very bad.
Again never ever (if you live in europe)
Import that kind of car frim usa because kids there doesn't know what maintenance is.
Yes i agree, but when they cost this much here, i would of had to rebuild it anyway after buying it
Haha, I had exact same "what is this stuff...??" reaction when I found misterious gasket in my BMW engine:D
It seems to mee that they scamed the insurance after the engine broke the light it up to get the money, if the fire was at the shop maybe the shop insurance did pay
I didn’t think about that, that is a possibility
Rule one is always get the engine running before doing body work
My guess what happened would be: Filter gasket failed, spiolled oil on the belt, belt snapped, got eaten by the engine, belt pieces plugged up the oil pickup, owner replaced the belt, it started knocking, guy knew the engine was done and drove it like a mad man, tearing off the oxygen sensor wires, then the engine blew completely, it got parked, and the fire happened.

keep going 👍
OMG that was just amazing content bro what the fuck i thought that was gona be cheap silicone used on sealing gasket head or some other parts of engine block stunning vid bro you are a legend on what you do bro keep up the good channel bro👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Det er rart å bare erstatte en reim slik. Man spørr seg jo gjerne hvor den gamle reimen er! kjemperart og fortsette å kjøre da
Honestly Diesel is better reliable no oil leaks easy to work on and will live forever
I could agree, i would like to Get a 335d once
máš odber, z BMW Club SK/CZ. ! :)
To poteší 😊👍
