You are literaly building my dream car, i live in europe but i bought pistons and connecting rods for cheap used from S52 engine from usa, now im planning to bore the m50 and put it in along with m54b30 crankshaft that should give me a s52 clone. Great content!
Congratulations! Well done! You’re the king of tenacity! I just did my vanos also. Didn’t have the death rattle just preventive maintenance. Cheers, George
Man I can't believe you did all of that troubleshooting. Crazy stuff. Have you ever considered loading INPA on an old laptop? Works wonders for me for stuff like this
off topic but when you lowered your calypso did you have to get an engine riser kit? ik people talk about the oil pan clearance on e30s i dunno if it applies to m50 e34s
Can't wait for the episodes on you driving it man!
Messed up the entire audio of the first drive video😫😫 so that means our first impressions driving will be out in the mountains Or PCH😏
Haha preciate the shoutout fellas. Yeah I didn't have timing tools or even knew how to do it so I tried another way and it worked!
I feel like I’m a qualified BMW tech after keeping up with you man lol thanks!
Hahaha thank you man!

Thank you George! Fun little fix!
The king of tenacity wouldn't wait for someone else to come over and help him rebuild his vanos.

makes me wonder if my 318ti s52 obd1 swaped car has mixed sensors too for the 1281 code..
Man I can't believe you did all of that troubleshooting. Crazy stuff. Have you ever considered loading INPA on an old laptop? Works wonders for me for stuff like this
I dont think inpa goes as far back as obd 1 e34s, i could be wrong though
Hey josh loving the build..what do you use ro read your codes for obd1 cars?
Thanks
Stomp test built in
Just a suggestion, but consider using a lapel mic
Does your car come with 16 OBD2 ports? we want to invite you to test our tools.
What’s the difference with the e34 motor that had vanos vs the one without it ?
M50 non vanos: No vanos, dual valve springs, 135mm beefier rods
M50 vanos: had vanos, single valve springs, 140mm rods
off topic but when you lowered your calypso did you have to get an engine riser kit? ik people talk about the oil pan clearance on e30s i dunno if it applies to m50 e34s
Yes absolutely. A must if your really low
Why don’t you have a mic on you so there won’t be much background noise ?
I need to get one
