Big up to saving another X5. Especially a 4.6.
Great work as always! 4.6iS engines are becoming almost impossible to find.
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.

The X5 sounds amazing well done fella 👏👌🙏
would love a good theory on how the engine shit itself. Afaik other than timing guides, the m62 is a monster of an engine!,
you make it look so easy, awesome work
Great video. Glad it ran well in the end.👍
4.6is is an Alpina stroker motor, but the 4.8is is still the boss with the ZF 6 speed and valvetronic N62

In real Alpina is hand built,but x5 is mass produced N62 got its own issues tho

@@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

Both are shit, the idea of a sporty x5 is just sad 🤣 2300+kg pig with 360hp just a waste of fuel and oil

Heavy that Ed, wonder if the rod was inherently weak from production and under load/time/fatique it just said I have had enough and went bye bye? 🤔 Good luck with the move 👌

Spark plug tip broke and got chewed up inside cylinder and punched a hole on the wall... coolant flushed inside cylinder somehow. It’s the 4-pong type spark plug right?
