    Sreten of M539 Restorations did a really nice job rebuilding his H1 starting with an N62 block

    M539 did a rebuild on one of these with a regular N62 block after confirming the only difference on the bare block was the casting number, but that wasn't the interesting part of his rebuild. The interesting part was that the bore scoring he theorized was caused by BMW simply running too hot of a thermostat (most likely for emissions reasons). It certainly couldn't hurt to run a colder thermostat and I'd be curious to see what difference it makes.

    _I love it when a BMW guy like OJ Lopez takes a 5 Series and turns it into a dedicated tribute car for the Alpina namesake. Ironic that my boy(nephew) just picked up a 2014 BMW 7 Series in the M class this past week here in the Scottsdale, Arizona area. The car is a one-owner beauty loaded with every single luxury option and an original MSRP in '14 of somewhere north of $125G's._

    I like it. But then again I always like unique builds.
    I completely agree with not calling it a b5.
    My track car is a E36 325 IS. Even though I have all of the M3 upgraded suspension, body panels, a fully built supercharged 3 l M50. It does not say M3 anywhere on the car.

    Excellent content very well presented.
    Damn OJ, I never expected the gun show at FMU.
    Nice to see the shop doing well and doing such highly technical projects.
    Rebadging is low brow, tributes are fine

    Hey OJ, why couldn’t you have used Ductile Iron Liners in the aluminum block instead of replacing the coating lining the cylinder sleeves?!?

    • @FluidMotorUnion
      @FluidMotorUnion  3 месяца назад +2

      Finding a machine shop that can do that to this block is extremely rare. Only 2 that we know of, and while the cost of repairing Alusil is high, the machining and cost of installing the liners is much much higher. There’s no market to develop and refine the process, so it reflects in cost and tooling setup. At that point sourcing a used block, or we might be able to find a whole other wrecked alpina at that point.

    • @GoFastGator

      Exactly what M539Restorations tried to do with his. (project Chicago I think?) Ended up having to scrap the block (and some of the pistons) and transfer the rotating assembly and heads to an N62 block.

      Yes! These are the Alpina Dynamic wheels, they came on the Z8 here in the states.

    M539 restoration had the same problem in a B7 that he imported to Frankfurt from Chicago lol. He rebuild the engine but it failed then with help from a guy I belive in Dubai figured that the bmw blocks Are identical to alpina except a stamp added by alpina. He than transferred all the internals and parts from the failed engine except weare parts. Hope that helps.ruclips.net/video/vcScDeDV-14/видео.html
