BEFORE WATCHING! What do you reckon is waiting for us inside the S65 engine? Place your bets - original bearings? Copper or later updated ones? Been changed recently? About to fail?

Great video! It’s such a variation of how more or less worn the bearing are on different year builds and mileage driven. Would you attribute the excessive wear on lower mileage to be due to hard driving patterns and/or poor maintenance? • Btw, Ryan and Cat are so amazing to chat with at IND and I agree that Fall-Line parts upgrades vs stock will be the best way to go 👍🏽💯

These guys did my Rod bearings on my e93 M3 last week and they did a great job. I can honestly say I trust Evolve more than I trust the BMW main dealers. These guys don't only know their stuff but they are really friendly towards their customers. Evolve are the only company I would trust with my beloved M car. FACTS!

Awesome video, it shows that these motors are capable of holding up if they receive good maintenance. Seems like the previous owner respected the car and followed the proper warm up cycle as well, which if not done could also result in failed bearings.

@ericm8368

2 жыл бұрын

I wouldn’t call bearings worn down to copper as holding up...who knows what the history of the car is, but as was pointed out, if the car had been driven hard or tracked cylinder 8 could’ve gone fairly easily. But yes, it does show that the bearings can last...but bearings should still likely be changed every 50-60k miles. Probably much sooner if tracking the car regularly. What was more concerning to me is hearing that the car with only 30k miles had worse wear. Just goes to show that there is no rhyme or reason for how and why these bearings wear how they do and mileage on the car doesn’t count for much. The best you can do is try to buy a car with long term ownership and maintenance records which is pretty much the rule for any car. Then it’s still no guarantee and you better change the bearings ASAP.

@@ericm8368, these motors are notoriously know for failure due to worn bearings at a lot lower mileage. My comments were on the fact that this particular example "held up" a lot longer than most S65s. Bearing replacement on these motors are considered a maintenance item, crazy to think so I know, but unfortunately it is. 🤣

@Eric M - We believe that number of cold starts and how the car is driven whilst cold is the main contributing factor to the wear. The 30k car may have not been looked after, regularly driving hard from cold, lots of short journeys to not allow the car up to temp etc. Unfortunately it’s impossible to know how a used car has been treated in that regards. If it was directly linked to mileage it would be more simple but as this car shows it is not.

So professional and well filmed video.. looking forward to more 👍🏻

Great project and vid. I love seeing these type of series and Aston is great at explaining what he is doing and making it simple to understand. Nearly at 100k subs too. I'm sure that goal will met very shortly. Keep up the great work.

Thank you gentleman for sharing, might be a small audience for content like this but extremely appreciated, thankfully there's still some engineers and technicians out there

Amazing vlog Imran, well done to the previous owner 👍 I was dreading this being the end of the project with the thumbnail, lol. Heard so much about the rod bearings on the E92. Finally able to see some content on it and see it in action, being done. Salute to Aston mans a ///Magician legend!

Great video & very informative you guys know your stuff 👌 Haven't heard the workshop sounds integrated with the audio before either! Was pretty cool 😎

I hope this dude gets paid well, he deserves it.

aston does a great job explaining it all, awesome video

Good that you guys maintained objectivity and demonstrated how a high mileage car that is maintained can have rod bearings that don't look bad. Motor mounts on any car with that kind of mileage will see that kind of wear.

Amazing first ever video I've watched from the channel and I must say that I won't stop watching vids from Evolve...however, the background tune sounds so much like 'The Game-soundtrack'.

I have an E39 M5 and did this work on the rod bearings and chain tensioners. Peace of mind... priceless!

this is so cool to watch post more on this car!!!

Well worth the wait for this one, just goes to show that if the car is well maintained and not ragged the bearings can last. When I get an E92 im bringing it to you.

Professionals at work!

Keep it coming lads, Quality & Aston is soo knowledgeable

Good strategy keep it up. We like to see this type of content and quality editing 👏

Sounds like you guys have a proper car now.👍Well done! It’s definitely a sigh of relief to know all is well. Another S65 saved!🙌

Videos like this is why I subscribed I love E9X M3 content cheers 🤙🏼🙌🏼

Got my guess right. Pleased to see it looking well looked after. Good base to see what comes next now.

Proof that maintenance is a must. Another great video

I changed my 740 Schnitzer engine mounts a few months ago as I just like to change everything. My passenger side mount looked like yours, and exploded as it was removed! Changed the transmission mounts aswell. Used Febi Bilstein ones, fitted a treat.

Great content guys. Very intuitive and keep it coming. Project N54 would be great 👍

Well done guys. Great video. And well done to your master tekker.

Quality workmanship 💪🏻

Superb video guys just brilliantly informative.

Great video guys. I started a similar project about 2yrs ago. Bought an 09 on 123k on original bearings. Changed them straight away and looked reasonable, small amount of copper showing but nothing worrying. Interested to see where you go with this. Hopefully will show that a leggy e9x is nothing to be worried about.

terrific video i will keep. there is so much to remember but you have been excellent. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. THE BOTH OF YOU. regards.

Like the content on this, really useful if in the market for a m3. Looking forward to the build. 👍

Good channel this, always learning. Wish you success in the future.

Cant wait to see more progress🤙

Love how the oil coming from the rear plug was nice and amber while the oil from the front plug was black. Seeing how the rear bolt was not stock while the front was, there’s a possible chance that previous servicer, probably former owner, wasn’t aware of the front plug. My 2011 leaks right in front where oil pump is, another item I need to look at when I do my bearings.

YES!!!! More like this please 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Great idea for this build series. Well done to the owners of this car, it just shows mileage is just a number with proper maintenance 150k is better than 60k in some cases :)

Watching an expert work is always a joy. These are well engineered cars. Thankfully people are recognizing that. 😊

Hey guys I really enjoy watching all the things that you do with all the cars. As I have a E90 M3 and have done the rod bearing as you guys have and wanting to purchase some of the products offered and programs but, I am having concerns of the main bearing and what I am learning about the S65 vs the S85 - what are some of your guys thoughts?

Ok ok, I’m a little more relaxed now, my e93 has 60.000 miles on the clock and I always worry about this bearings, even tho I always warm up the engine and never rev it more than 3000 until fully warmed, Still in plan to change them soon but hard to find good trusty shops nearby. And great videos guys, I like this project and I’ll follow it closely, curious what you guys will do with it. Cheers

Professional and informative

Great work 👌 fair play with that milage on it its pretty good 👍

Great vid guys, really enjoyed & I haven’t even got an M3, I have got a BM tho.

I think Aston could change the bearings in his sleep now, as usual a great insight into the workings of these cars, love your vids.

Hi Guys, very intressting and good video . At this stage, when you are changing the bearings, did you have a look at the oil pump? May be it would be a good idea to check and clean the oil pump top, at this high milage😁👍😁

Top class content guy's 👍

Great vid guys 👏

Good job lads! Keep filming it the transformation of this M3 👍

I changed mine preemptively at around 75.000 miles and they were, in comparison, in a much, much better shape. The copper wasn't even exposed. I never rev the car cold and this proves, in my mind, that most engines failures is most likely a direct result of abuse from clueless owners. As with any sport cars, if you don't treat them as such they will inevitable fail.

Right, a very mabusive owner... No, but for real, I think it comes down to a few things. Oil quality, how often changed. The thickness of the oil, and the cold starts of the engine. When the engine is cold, the oil pressure is high! and this means that it is very hard on everything until it is warmed it. I always baby my N55 engine when it is cold. Always do the oil very often. Let them warm up for a long time. The rod bearings sit on a very thin layer of oil, and they are not designed to touch the crank. If the oil level is too high, or too low, they will. There are very small holes in the journals, and if the oil is too Thich, it will not do its job.

I love these videos 🤛🔥

Great update. Very professional.

Enjoyed this 👌🏽 This M3 couldn’t have gone to a better team! She’s going to be pampered 🌟

Awesome vid! I own 2008 M3, bought back in 2011 with 43k miles and 10 years later ….149k miles :)

Great content..great buy..good instincts about the buy!!

Phenomenal video 🔥

I did mine at 90k miles with some fellow e90/2 m3 owners. I was a bit scared. The real work is the sub-frame. There was some copper showing on a few of the top bearings, but not much really. I am the original owner and now have 130k miles. I get an oil analysis at every change and the results have always been superb. It runs like new and I love it. I had to rebuild my diff and lsd recently (put in the 4:10 gearset) and all new bearings. That was much harder and less fun than doing the rod bearings.

Great to see professionals at work brilliant stuff.👍👍👍
