On m51, the crankshaft is forged, not cast

Gracias a este video obtuve tremenda información de gran importancia para mí. Muchas gracias

thank you for the video, i’m hoping to get an x5 with diesel engine

last photo on the b57 was that of the n63 by mistake

I learned a lot, thank you for video. hope to see video for bmw diesel as well

642 for 7 years, 351k km so far. Besides oil leaks that I fixed myself, nothing- pleasure to ride.

Nice content, i like the short and summarising engine descriptions. I also appreciate that you go with your own human voice, the recent inflationary use of ai voices in youtube-videos is really annoying me a lot, so thanks for the decision to speak your blog texts on your own. As the Mercedes inline-five dieel engines were way more important for Mercedes as well as for diesel engines in passenger cars at all, it would be great to get a similar video / blog article on those as well. Me now following, greetings from Germany. 😊

Great content, as always! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

Thanks for the video. I really can't understand BMW's reasons for building these engines. Having rebuilt several of them across the range, I have never seen such an overcomplicated setup in my life. Yes, they are powerful, but once they are over 80000km, they become a money pit.

Hi, Within your conclusion you mention the N74 never had the problematic design the N73 suffered. Would you mind to develop somewhat about the N73 problematic design you underline? Thanks a lot for your highlight.

Sometimes the algorithm is awesome. This is a great video. Thank you.

If BMW hasn't perfected the V8, Germany hasn't perfect it.

Great presentation. Would it be possible to bore and stroke the N74?

M177 (LS1) owner here. Extremely stout engine. Biggest issues are coil packs getting eaten from heat. And the packaging makes everything harder to access. But Mercedes’ version seems to be the most robust out of the S63/TFSI V8TT variants. It doesn’t have the oil leak pain-points or rod bearing failures of the S63 (see FCP Euro teardown), nor the cooling/water pump issues of the TFSI. For example, check out Nurburgring videos of RS7s, they cannot keep oil temps down! Mercs (c63, e63, gt, etc.) have 2 additional aux coolers behind the front bumper.

Great article and video. I'll add that on my 1989 Porsche Carrera 3.2 came from the factory with Alusil cylinders. I read that some bound for the US only came with it, but I can at attest at least one 930/25 was certain to have it. In 122,500 miles it held up pretty good with normal wear when I tore the engine down. Other engine components gave up faster. When I rebuilt I did replace them with a new Mahle Nikasil piston and cylinder kit.

gmt 800 and 900 are the most classy one

MBZ/PORSCHE also produce Hot V engines....so is it really a bad idea?

Great analysis!

very well put together keep doing these man

A few subtle differences worth mentioning about the whole Automatica vs DuoSelect: Duo has the transmission mounted as a transaxle, meaning it's not directly behind the engine, unlike the Automatica. Therefore it has slightly better weight distribution and is even slightly lighter than Automatica; They have vastly different gear ratios, with the Duo being a close-ratio gearbox. The Automatica is so wide-ratio (as any vehicle equipped with a ZF 6HP) it never reaches 6th gear for top speed, where the Duo uses all of it's 6 forwards gears, better maintaining the engine at high revs (which is where the power is at). This also means the Automatica is quieter on highway, too; Duo has a manual handbrake, while Automatica has electronic parking brake (as the whole center console has been redesigned... Actually, great part of the car has been); And last but not least, EVERY DUO has paddle shifters (You pull both to put it in neutral), same cannot be said about Automatica. I believe it was an option on the base/Executive GT, but standard on S/ Sport GT/ Sport GT S, but can't confirm. Also, little quirk: Since the DuoSelect is a manual transmission mechanically speaking, there is no "Parking" mode.

You mention the inferior nature of the German Direct Injection engines. What are the more preferential choices.

J’ai une sport de 2012. Vraiment très bien et fiable. Mais le vinyl et les plastiques sont vraiment de très mauvais qualité. J’ai du refaire la garniture des portes en cuir et carbone ainsi que divers trucs. Sinon toujours un plaisir de prendre son volant. Et c’est mon daily 😊

Underrated channel. Good content, even if some speculation. Subscribed.

Thank you!! Excellent video

I‘m owning a GranTursimo MY 2018 with all the beloved Features like the TouchScreen Nav System, Rear Camera and of cause the hexagonal Grill, whitch i love. It is much more modern and a bit wider than the old oval Grill.

Is chassis number the last 5 of the vin?

Vote for sport GTS 4.7 version 👍🏻 sad for those interior common problem sticky coating 🫣

BMW S63B44T4 owner here. The engine doesn’t have rear timing chain. It’s in the front. On the point about valvetronic. We went from single throttle body to dual per-bank throttle body to individual throttle body(ITB) for a reason. Air Intake efficiency. Valvetronic takes it a step further to individual port throttle body hence why it’s the most efficient air intake system in the world. It has throttle bodies for each bank but they’re always fully open and used only as a fail safe.

Nice informative video!

❤️🔱🇮🇹

In case of M550i is it ok to go with TU2 or better add some money and get the TU3? Or the TU3 updates are not so crucial in comparison with TU2? (Both bad? :) )

Nice job..

This is a fantastic comparison of these engines. Thankyou for taking the time to put this together

Excellent video! Keep it up.

Go learn about the stats. Ea824 are more reliable than n63. Less types of issues.

What issues does ea824 have except for oil screen?

GRATITUDE!!!

Thank ya

I always thought they were the same engine 😂

Where’s the XJ-S ? A 21 year production run and out sold the E-Type. 1984 European touring cars championship winner and the 1985 Bathurst 1000 winner. I would say that’s an iconic Jaguar.

Do these V10s really have no balance shafts? The first-order forces can be solved by crankshaft matching, but how can we balance the second-order forces without a balance shaft?

For me this is The best looking and sounding sedan ever made

Great review/ video 🎉

I have ABC and yes it’s complex and expensive but it works extremely well and in my 5 year s600 ownership has never let me down apart from standard maintenance items.

I didn't get what bmw tried to reduce in their multiple improvements of this engine. Maybe oil consumption but im not sure 😅

I always deactivate the start/stop feature. I started this practice on my F02 N63TU equipped vehicle and now on my N74TU equipped G12.

05:35 Ettore Bugatti, not Lamborghini

Missing the 8C 2300 Viotti...

Underated video great work

Great cars, thanks for the video👍🏼. My first BMW was a six inline 320 carb E21😄.
