13:01 Also, the lower jaw on the snips determines the waste side. when you cut sheet metal one side will stay nice and the other side will get all bent up, that should be the side you don't want.
I love these videos. The figure out as you go style of the videos are so relatable for anyone that does their own work. You guys are true enthusiasts and it shows in your work.
This video really drives home my reasoning for not owning a bmw. You have to have a passion for it, like Pete does. But when these m5 wagon conversions pop up online it is hard to resist!
I like "getting in the weeds", or so to speak. I feel like it gives me a lot better idea about the general condition of all the different systems on a car. And better probability of knowing how to fix problems that may arise in the future.
my daily is a fully equipped 04 civic manual that I paid 350$ for. it hadn't run in 2 years and sat in a heated garage, oil change, new battery terminals and engine grounds and it started right away on a used battery. It's so satisfying to daily drive your accomplishment. now it's got used konigs, solid shifter bushings and it is a very nice winter car with heated mirrors.
This will end up being the best build y'all have ever done. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets a good deal of publicity. An E39 M5 Touring is the holy grail for a lot of people. It could really be your only car and do almost anything you'd need from race track to Home Depot.
You guys are doing my dream build, as much as I like the premise, I only watch the m5 wagon build bc it’s my favorite RUclips series, KEEP THESE COMING!
Interesting how you guys, as well as Motion Auto TV, and Junkyard Dave are building fast wagons, at the same time. Edit: honorable mention would be PeterBjorck and his V10 Lamborghini powered Volvo 245.
PeterBJorck is in a league of his own. He's on next level compared to most people, save for proper shops staff who aren't working in their own personal garages.
when i ever i pull a motor i always go full degrease - but always through a coat of black paint so touch ups are simple down the road - thanks for the content - you are scratching my itch to buy an insane amount of cars
I love this BMW M5 build. It is going to be awesome. Why don't you repaint a few parts (swaybar for instance) and make it look great? Since you are waiting for some parts, the time could maybe be used for cosmetic improvements...
Oh yes i worked 10 years as a mechanic in a wet country like belgium, and things get rusty and crusty after a while, always nice to have a torch and patience by the hand.👍
The valve covers are leaking because the regular maintenance wasn't done ?? Wow that is reason 43 why you don't buy a used BMW over a Lexus. Love the Wagon build even if it's going to be a maintenance nightmare.
"Einhorn Industries" makes little brackets that stiffen the front sway bar, and don't require the subframe to be removed from the car. IIRC, less than a dozen aftermarket front sway bars were ever made for V8 E39s.
It's nice to se progress being made on the wagon. as far as the sway bars though you might want to look into some eibach or other after market ones to try and reduce some of the body roll. Great stuff guys and God bless!
Great work guys! M62 running hotter than S62 is only a partial reason for disengrating timing chain guides. There are 2 other reasons: One is that BMW switched from dual row timing chain on S62 to single row timing chain on M62. And number two is that S62 retained timing chain sprocket on the bottom as found on M60 while M62 got famous "U Guide" instead of sprocket which is the one that usually fails first. If you compare the 2 designs it's obvious that sprocket is vastly more effective and bulletproof while U Guide is pretty much ticking bomb due to timing chain slaps on it all the time.
am sorry to disappoint you, but my Lexus sc430 2004 still running smoothly without any gasket replacements other than oil change and service . no leaks no issues .. Lexus is all about reliability and i live in kuwait... no question about our hot temp
Make sure it isn’t a production spilt on the pressure regulator, my m3 had a few production splits when I did the rod bearings, FCP had the parts but it just throws some more time in there
Idk Pete I got my hands on a 08 mazda 6i grand touring from Canada to Massachusetts & even if it was in the bad weather with 140,000 on it, it is very clean. Just matters if it is taken care of .
These cars are easy to work on now, cos everyone has access to the gazillion tools and parts, back in the day, it would have costed an arm and a leg. Most owners would have passed out when BMW would have quoted them for the repair, then proceeded to buy a Toyota:)
At the beginning watching all the time lapse it was much too fast for me to even see any of the work you were doing but towards the middle of the video you actually started working and I enjoyed that through the end of the video just trying to give you some tips like you asked for
So....were does that shop floor drain lead to? You guys have put some nasty stuff down there over the years. Is it all just sitting under floor? Does it flow into the closest river? Or does it get collected and treated?
Pretty exciting build. BMW's are like KTM's in the motorcycle world everyone hates them until they drive them. I admit some items are not the most reliable. Rod bearing are always in the back of my mind. lol
For cars here it really depends on the type of car you're looking for. Something that would have been someone's year round daily falls uner what you say. If it's something that was often a fair weather toy you can find rust free examples here. My own car was sold new in Toronto and spent its entire 30+ year life in Ontario but is rust free (other than the battery tray) because it was always just a toy that was garaged in bad weather.
That sounded more like crank to me rather that lifter knock. It would have been a good idea to turn the engine over without the distributor lead on first to build up oil pressure. :)
@@joshuad1716 Well why don't they tune it all the way up? Give me everything bmw can offer! Those problems are common in all the bmw engines, disels, streight 6s and v8s, no matter performance oriented or not. Why didn't the 200k mile isf have any of these problems?
Just like back in elementary school, green scissors are lefty red are righty and well there wasn't a yellow but yellow isn't a universal it's for a straight cut.
As much as it pains me.... I've been watching commercials since you guys mentioned it pays. Keep up with the great channel.
THANK YOU!!!
I always watch them with the channels I like the most :)
I also love this channel. But I wonder how youtube pays them if a premium member watches. Since I don't get any adds.
I had idea 🤷🏻♂️ but I will also make sure to do this too! #oldschooltvvibes
Yeah, definetly watch them. One of the ways to support the good channels. :)
The level of effort you guys put into your builds is so satisfying. Honestly one of the best automotive RUclips channels. Hands down. Period.

It's amazing that they haven't reached that yet, such good content.

I can't wait Until the project finish
Love this series! Second time watching it!!!
Wow, for sure getting into the details on this build haha!
VICTORY ! a familiar cry to Canadian car owners as they repair their vehicles.
PLEASE clean off that engine and make it look almost new. That classic deserves better. LOVE your BMW content, keep it coming guys!
Awsome work guys, great episode!
Very excited to see this thing come together. I’m hoping that you guys will do another raffle
The info about the tin snips was the highlight of this video for me. I can only wonder how many years it would've taken for me to notice that.
Super satisfying episode.
I love this build and this battle!
"Metal on German cars is far superior"... Except when it comes to rear subframe floors! Lol

Phil Campeau Couldn’t believe he actually said that. BMWs are expensive junk.
"Einhorn Industries" makes little brackets that stiffen the front sway bar, and don't require the subframe to be removed from the car. IIRC, less than a dozen aftermarket front sway bars were ever made for V8 E39s.

New SA vid always a good time
A spot weld cutter would make that bracket removal much easier. Mask it and flat black it and Pete would be the only one the knows.
So satisfying when you finally get a seized bolt to go like that isn’t it!
Great builds, even more reason why I became a Patreon Supporter
