That would be $4620.00 would be interesting to purchase same parts here and see the difference. Great job on the rebuild. You deserve a medal 🥉
Thanks Hugh! Yeah i'd imagine parts & labour would cost even more over there
Not bad at all. Great experience and knowing it was done right.
Hi George i have been following you for long on E65 Owners. Well the ep6 has a lot of troubles. First you have the valve cover, exhaust and intake electrovannes, head, timing chain, thermostat, fuel high pressure pump since im working for a peugeot dealer i know those engines very well good luck to you !
wouldn't have thought 58 k subscribers would pay for all that and income for living etc plus all the other cars and friends broken turbos. your new garage, well done if you can make money stretch like that ..engine wasn't as much as i expected with all the new parts. Well done again George.
You don't really earn money from subscribers, but with that being said - the plan is the break even on this car
You said you done a good job "rubbish" You've done an excellent job. 🤗
Appreciate it my friend!
The fly wheel was an expence you could have lived without, I'm sure Lee would have faced it for you.. Great series George 🍻 cheers..
It’s a dual mass flywheel so it’s the springs that wear, not worth putting an old one back on👍🏻
@@GeorgeAusters Oh right, you did the right thing replacing the flywheel then. Cheers..
Most people pay far more than that on PCP or HP in just the first year & 3 years later they still don’t own a car ! So £3800 is a bargain for a good car that you actually own,people are obsessed with having a ‘new’ car that is never there’s!
I have a few questions:
1. Is it worth spending almost 4k on rebuilding an engine when you could buy a decent car for that.
2. Will insurance companies pay you the extra 4k in the event of a crash? I've always wondered this as I feel like if I ever spend 4k on fixing up my BMW X1, my luck would mean the day after it is finished someone would run a red light and end up writing my car off lol!
3. Could you not just buy a scrapyard engine for the fraction of the cost?
4. Maybe the mini is a bad design, but I feel like if the car is old enough that the engine needs rebuilding, then perhaps there's a bunch of other things on their way out like wheel bearings, rusty chassis etc. Does it really make sense to rebuild the engine of an old car? To me it seems like putting lipstick on a pig at that point?
5. I assume It doesn't, but does this affect the MOT/Odometer?
And lastly, would you actually end up selling the car for a profit? I feel like if you need to rebuild the engine, the car is old enough to the point where there's probably a bunch of identical ones on the market and people wouldn't be willing to spend an extra 4 grand to get basically the same car but with a new engine, especially considering my points earlier about other parts of the car such as rusty chassis, gearbox wear, driveshaft wear, wheel bearings etc.
Definitely fun to watch though! I can understand it from a classic car perspective, but I think personally it makes more sense just to scrap the car and buy an identical one unless you're able to get the car for free or 4 grand less than the market cost?
You won't buy a decent one of these cars for near £4k.. They will all require big money to be spent on them. I am overhaulling the entire car.. all suspension, steering components and bearings are being replaced so it will virtually be a brand new car when i'm finished.
I don't care what people say but restoring a car definitely adds value.. I would rather buy a virtually brand new car than one that needs £10k spending on it to sort all the problems
Hi are these good reliable please just bought 2nd hand one. It's had several MOTs had 2 be mended each time 😊 Several passes 😊.
It was MOTd today collecting it tomorrow reputable garage.
Am 59 and quoted insurance yikes! £700 absolutely fully comp everything.
Is all this good please. It's a mini cooper s 2008 BMW engine.
No I wouldn’t say they’re reliable until you’ve fixed the common problems
I'm curious, when you re built the engine, how did you re-time it? I've been re-building an N12 engine and have been quite stumped with this part
Watch my rebuild series👍🏻
Where are you getting oem parts this cheap? 224 for the dual mass flywheel? Its 900 bucks here in the US
I’ve linked parts in the description👍🏻
Honestly, he's just replacing things to replace them. Overkill.💸💸💸
George if i may ask, i do remember you order your parts at autodoc. Do you have problems with them delivering lately?
Thanks 👍🏼
Not that i've noticed mate
Exchange rate is $1.27 so at 3,816 pounds that would be $4,846.32. Thats a lot of money for a BMW roller skate.
I am waiting for the high pressure fuel pump for a long time😂 ,1/7 of the total price
Hello George, great work on the N14 rebuild!! My N14 appears to be burning oil, I have changed the usual valve stem seals so now Im thinking piston / oil control rings now. I notice it more after an overrun when I blip the throttle after and obviously when I get out the car......Any idea other than rings as I guess it will be a 77.5mm rebore and oversize pistons to correct?
Likely need a rebore👍🏻
It could also be plugged up oil control rings. These cars call for a ridiculous oil change interval which results in carbon build up on the rings and pistons.
Look up a product by BG (it's an American product) called BG Dynamic Engine Restoration Service. It's like an engine flush, but does a deep, deep cleaning. There are videos here on RUclips.
It's a multi step process, and I personally have done it to a plethora of MINI's, and depending I've had a higher than 50% success rate. I have 3 MINI's in the fleet, and all three had oil consumption issues. I fixed two of them with the flush. The third I diminished greatly, but that one has 122k miles and I know it needs a turbo and valve stem seals.
Check it out *BG Dynamic Engine Restoration Service*
@@GeorgeAusters Hi George forgot to ask when you had your block bored did you manage to maintain the standard size pistons or did you go 0.50mm oversize?? finally getting round to pulling mine apart and stopping the dreaded oil burn issue.

What do you expect the life expectancy to be since you've rebuilt it?
Hopefully forever lol
At least 2 weeks!😂
@@hogi99 🤣🤣🤣
@@potentetravels I have two in the driveway, I've paid, handsomely for the right to say that. They're the best cars you'll ever work on almost as much as you drive them. 😉
Cheaper to get a reconditioned engine and whack it in the mini
"Reconditioned" engine means nothing... Usually just a used engine thats been painted lol
I had to take a break half way through listening to the cost list …are you made of money ?….I brought a Ford Orion for £1300 , used it for 11 years and sold it still running with MOT for £100 …
No I’m not made of money, but I’ll be selling the car for exactly what I’ve got into it👍🏻
So better to just get a second hand engine and swap it...
And the second hand engine will need rebuilding as well ... :)
Total gamble putting in a 2nd hand engine. Imagine the time and labour swapping it out twice. False economy.
100% NOT.. A second hand engine will need rebuilding the exact same.. These engines were designed bad from factory
Each to their own I guess, defo know what I would do.. scrap the car, that'll fix all the issues 😋
The guy is creating contents for his channel and for us here.
We should just appreciate the job and the effort.
Getting a second hand engine would be like like watching movie a where the killer gets caught in 20 min, end of the story.
Ffs get on with it
Damned good job you've done there, very thorough like a proper mechanic would have done.
Appreciate it Mark!
Thanks for the detailed breakdown of parts. Apart from a couple of 'biggies', it does show that even though the others seem very reasonable and small change, the sheer number of them adds up to a death of 'a thousand cuts' for a fairly cheap car even without labour cost/time!
It always costs money to do things properly, but i'd rather do it properly and know it should be reliable rather than having to constantly work on it replacing parts you didn't in the first place
You did a good job I like the mini well the looks. I wouldn't have one. Stick too my rio no faults going strong after 10 years.
Kia rio?
I think that rebuilding engines like this and going over cars will become more common as cars become more expensive. In the past a car of that age was starting to look bad due to rust and general detonation of the interior.
It makes logical sense to spend this amount of time and money to have a car that will last another 10 years and 100K miles. Unfortunately used values do not take overhaul type work into consideration so to sell it (or loose it to an insurance loss) would be a loss to you.
Don't know ..in less than 5 years, i predict the the government are going to start screwing us on the cost of petrol and diesel and road tax to make us swap to EV's, Lot of real IC enthusiasts are going to be very pi**ed off ........i suggest George switch to very old classic car status BMW'S, to get around some of their planned changes.
Yes I agree.. I would happily rebuild all of my cars engines rather than pay out for a new one.
I am genuinely jealous of this pricing! Being in America we have these prices for US cars but I am looking at getting my engine machined, cleaned and forged internals on the bottom end and rebuilding the top end at $7k USD and roughly another $6k on timing, coolant thermostat and piping, oil pump assembly, clutch, radiator etc. basically doing what you're doing. It will be over $13k USD and that's me doing it myself with my friends. 😭
Look at the links I’ve listed - you can buy them yourself
First? Are we still doing that?
Absolutely!
Thought my spend at nearly £1k was excessive! Well done.
Excellent mate, top job. Enjoying the channel keep it up ☝
Cheers Lee!
I think a new engine would be cheaper
Definitely not.. A new engine doesn't come with all the ancilaries etc
These prices are crazy to me😂
You know how much some of those parts cost in USA?
Thermostat: 188.00 USD
Coolant pipe: 68.00 USD
HPFP: 1183.00 USD
Timing Chain Components: roughly 350.00 USD
Valve Cover: 429.00 USD
🤯😬
If you thought your engine was expensive, get a quote from BMW for a new one
Yep i'd imagine around £10k at least plus labour
No way. That's a lot.
Yep.. Costs a lot to do things properly!
