BMW E30 M20B25 Engine Rebuild Restoration - Time-Lapse | Part 2

In this episode, I remove everything from the block, labeling each piece as they come off. This was way more footage than I thought there was going to be so I made this into an episode of its own.

Okay, okay I know it's late. I had to take a trip to the UK so I'm a week behind. But you can expect the videos to pick up big time very soon. I have a video ready for the second channel so head over and sub with the bell on! The name of the channel is going to change so don't get confused. I'm excited to have two channels going, anything none car-related will be going on the second channel. The machine shop I am using is pretty busy, so I might restore some of the other parts in the meantime to keep the videos coming. Enjoy!

Crankshaft bolt 30NM, oil filter 160NM.
Whoever serviced this engine was a genius.

Im glad you are sending the Block and Head out for professional cleaning and machining.

[WelcomeToTheMadness]

Looking at you doing this makes me want to pull apart the one I have in my garage...

[El_rod]

Anyone else love the satisfying sound of a bolt being broke loose after being tightly threaded for 10 years or more... just me ok

[garyb]

Hey, Steve! You're living your dream! Life is great--doing what you love in a shop you built from nothing! Your courage and determination is paying off. Sweet! You make us all want to venture out and live our dreams. So glad you can start posting more often. Take care, my friend.

[shapoorasl]

Great job.
Some activties require extra hands, glad you got one. The machinery shop does all the cleaning needed, but you helped them thats thoughtful of you.
I love BMW's, but i dont own one, one day when i get one, im gonna watch your videos ten times a day.
Keep up your good work. You sir, are an inspiration for many people. <3

[Ali-ensx]

i've found you recently and I bing watched your previous videos . i'm already in love with the series . cant wait to see the final product

The simplicity of this engine is unique. It is a pity that there will no longer be such motor constructions.

[kingbubbles]

I was just thinking to myself that you hadnt uploaded in about a decade. Cant wait to watch it.

[MrSaahOG]

That must be the EASIEST crankshaft bolt ever!!

[bmweopassion]

Love this M20 engine, i have 2 of them 1 boosted 450 HP and 1 natural aspirated, never had problem, love IT

[kevinvines]

Wow! Look at all those little projects! Can’t wait!

[Neowolf]

This is so fun to watch. Thank you for naming the parts as you go and taking the time to record/upload this.

[CookRacingUK]

Loved watching this! I have an E30 (in the picture) and someone is keeping my old knackered M20 engine block so one day I'd love to restore it and the rest of the engine. Your video makes that more realistic!

[RIS]

This is going to be a fascinating series. Brilliant.

[dudon.arendse]

Great insightful and no corny repetition music playing.. such a pleasure to just watch and enjoy really 💯😌

[suziemack]

I know nothing about cars but I just love watching your videos. Thanks.

[besartmaksuti]

This is the best Youtube & Chill channel! Literally eating snacks and stuff while watching!

[tsupack]

Since I'm watching your videos I started developing an urge to just follow the same steps you do on my own car... It seems so easy, even though I know it isn't! And the precision and attention to details you have... it is insane :D Can't wait for the next video!
