      Compare one of these F55s to the original 'new Mini' (R50/2/3). People complained about the size of those when they came out, but now they're small vs what's on the road 20 years later!

    Glad to see you back, be very careful and don't break anything....my daughters went back for an egr recall, mini have broken the manifold and earliest to get a replacement is March 2024.!
    Mini have put her in a hire car until March, not sure how good the car will be after sitting in their yard for that length of time.

    If you take the front bumper skin off then loosen a few bolts on the under sub frame and a couple at the front the whole front of the car comes off in one piece with the rad pack in etc then it is much easier to get the engine& box back in & connect everything up

    Phil, love the inspection light, where's it from? Much easier job with the front panels removed. Had to do mine as the oil filter housing leaked? Check that on your new unit as it's not easy to access. One bolt behind the air con pump housing.

    Hi Phil, good to see you back and as enthusiastic as ever. Should be a great car when it is sorted. Brave decision to get it out from the top, but you used all your trickery to get it out. Surprised how cheap a replacement motors cost you. Are you going to put in a new clutch plate and pressure plate for good measure? Last comment, wonder insurance costs are so high when they are writing off late cars like this. Given they will on replace the engine with a new Mini unit the costs go off the scale. This is the future of motoring, even worse in the EV world! 😮

    The color is what I like to call COVID gray, I call it that because during COVID everything shut down and they ran out of pigment for paint so a lot of the manufacturers brought this gray into their lineup because it's the easiest paint to make with the least amount of pigments hence the color gray so every manufacturer like BMW Honda etc has this color gray added during COVID it's a nice grey they just ran out of pigments to make other colors

  • @danwedderburn5550
    @danwedderburn5550 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Cant agree with your diagnosis. Water ingress would not do that. That is total lack of oil. I would hazard a guess that the sump has been smashed on a speed bump & the driver has kept going with little oil in engine. You need to think about turbo also, as it would of been starved of oil also.

    • @SeriousAboutSalvage
      @SeriousAboutSalvage  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Unfortunately we're all just guessing at this point, sump has no damage and looks original, underpan is with the car and also undamaged. Turbo looks and feels to be good, service history is up to date on the onboard computer with full bmw history and serviced 3k miles ago. Water is a guess but can't think of any other reason why bmw would refuse the warranty, and with the amount of water we have had recently especially up north where this car came from it would wouldn't be a surprise. But like I said just a guess 🙂
