Here's What Happens When You Neglect BMW E39 M5 Engine

Step-by-step disassembly of the 4.9 L S62 V8 engine from BMW E39 M5. The engine has 226k km / 140k miles and due to scored cylinders, we are taking it apart. Project Skovde spent 13 years off the road and we are on a mission to restore it completely to absolute perfection, starting with the engine.

Thanks to Sreten for his very kind comments and for giving us the opportunity to be of service here. We love building all Alusil-based BMW motors (and the S54 too), but the S62 will always have a special place in my heart. Going to be a lot of fun to film some cool videos in the Partee Racing shop, and perhaps we will even be able to elicit a visit from nearby James Clay of Bimmerworld!

FINALLY!! My two favorite things. E39s and uploads from the best channel on YouTube!

Buckle up, folks! This is about to be the most detailed S62 tear-down YouTube has ever seen—73 glorious minutes of engine bliss! Grab a cold beer (or maybe two), get comfy, and prepare to be dazzled by every bolt, gasket, and questionable life choice that led us here. It’s basically a feature film for gearheads…but with more grease and fewer happy endings. 😂

Every time, it is a pleasure to follow your videos, I watch them several times like a good movie. I particularly appreciate the attention to detail, presented in an educational way and that is where we meet, to what extent the mechanics have evolved. Thank you in any case for this show sprinkled with moments of humor. I look forward to the videos concerning your red coupe, of which I no longer remember the name or the reference.

Brilliant. These tutorials will be used long after we're gone by some future BMW enthusiasts. This man is future proofing these cars.

How the hell doesnt this channel have x milion followers is the mistery of the 21st century.
Top content, top guy, top everything.

It's really amazing when you think that a show like Wheeler Dealers is produced by a team of probably a dozen professionals with formal education and years of industry experience - and Sreten has, by himself, developed and perfected a production that attract millions of people willing to spend hours watching him tear down an engine. Camera, voice over, acting, lighting, cuts, editing, story, all figured out and done by one guy... and on a budget that probably less than what Wheeler Dealers spends on catering.

Nice disassembly of the damaged M5 engine. Good job as always!
Sreten, one kind reminder: when you zinc plating bolts, bear in mind that 10.9 and 12.9 bolts are not suitable for zinc plating due to Hydrogen embrittlement, so please consult with your plating shop about it. Hydrogen from acids can enter the crystal structure of those high-tensile-class materials and to simplify it, cause "rust" around the crystal borders, meaning they can snap at any time under tension. There is a heat treatment for 10.9 bolts that lowers the likeliness of breaking zinc-plated ones but that is not 100% insurance. Those high tensile class bolts (10.9 and 12.9) are usually zinc flake coated. I know how particular you can be so just want to add my two cents; keep up the good work!

The most entertaining way to watch someone work is, to watch you work. Time flies and it seems like an hour turns into a minute. Thank you for that, I love your style and your channel.
