    Congrats bro!!!! I’m not only proud of you but inspired at the same time. It’s one thing to have a vehicle that you show/work on the simpler things. It’s an entirely different thing to do that and let the viewers know you’ve never done this, then do it yourself on video for alll the haters to critique, criticize, etc. You are no longer entertaining a community but educating and indirectly building a knowledge based vessel for others to follow and use you to accomplish their same goals. I think your way forward for Patreon will be a gold mine if you do what’s in your mind to do and not let outsiders influence you on the way forward. I wish nothing but blessings and success with everything you set out to accomplish. James

      I will definitely do single at some point, I sort of want to experience all of the "stages" for myself so I can also help others. But single is the goal. And THEN maybe S65 :)

    My 1st bmw was a 135i back in 2008. N54 is decent but tons of issues with carbon coking on the valves, too much heat under the hood causing seals and gaskets to fail, the water pupmps a weak spot and fails. Make sure you get a large core intercooler and meth caue heats a killer too

      A hood vent on the exhaust side helps a bunch with cooling too. Also all the plastic cooling parts are killers and fails early too.

    People really hate on the n54. Had 2 of them in my past. Both FBO.
    OEM+ builds, it holds up nicely with proper maintenance. However, single turbo builds stay away, it just get obnoxious and it becomes unreliable.

    I would never pull the subframe that’s harder than pulling the engine and it’s from under. But anyways have fun never getting your N54 to work properly. I have a 335is and I want take my hammer to the whole car or any bmw at this point.

    You’re putting way to much effort into a car that will leave you stranded out of nowhere. You’ve seen the facts yourself number 6 isn’t getting oil. I wouldn’t trust that engine if it was Non turbo. It’s pos.
