    Tip: my airflow sensor was not working properly so I took a bounty sheet and put it between the sensor and it ran fine for years

    These cars like this are amazing and good, the problem is the high fuel consumition. Nice video bro.

    The 4.6i M62 was nothing but trouble even when they were much newer - it was just one stretch too far and they ate head gaskets for dinner.

    4.6is is an Alpina stroker motor, but the 4.8is is still the boss with the ZF 6 speed and valvetronic N62

      @@The777Garage yup, I've had my N62 all in pieces to reseal it. Alpina came up with the formula for the 4.6is motor. When you scan one with an OBDII scanner, it even comes up as Alpina
