I been asking for a V10 forever and you always said you got no interest in getting one. I always said that you have to have one in your collection it’s such an iconic engine. Now I’m happy.
Dropping the subframe enough to remove the sump whilst leaving in situ is class. I dropped my subframe completely to replace the rod bearings on my m5. Aston is a master on these s85’s.
The E63 ///M6 is one of my favourite cars, sure an F90 ///M5 would leave it for dead on acceleration but I never feel like it's underpowered when I drive mine.Plus the sound of the V10 is glorious.
Driving the e63 M6 or e60 M5 platform is an enjoyable experience all around. Love these cars! Please share more content as it is interesting to hear your perspective on these.
Looking forward to the drive and then seeing what's in store for this car. Maybe someone makes a replacement trunk lid so you can get rid of that Bangle monstrosity.
Great video as always. Interested to hear your feedback on the Continental 7's. My Michelin PSS tyres are really struggling now my B58 is mapped (Stage 2)
2010 M6 Competition is running like nothing can hold it. 146.000km on the clock. Rod bearings done at 113.000km. SMG and Throttle Actuators failed. Diff was replaced. Oil Cooler gasket was leeking. That’s it. Facelift Competition is another level of M6 E63 and no one knows!

@@darrenboston342depends on your driving style. I didn't like the mp4s's that were on my car, grip levels in hot weather weren't what I expected. Lots of independent tests out there say the conti's are excellent tyres. YMMV.

We'd advise changing them by 70k miles based on the 100s we've seen over the years. We consider it a must do 'major service' that if the car hasn't had done, pretty much regardless of mileage we would carry out so that we could enjoy the car with peace of mind. The Mahle Motorsport bearings we would not expect to wear at the same rate as OEM - But even with the OEM part when the car is correctly warmed up, maintained and cared for they should last a very long time, far more miles that anyone will realistically now do in one of these cars.
@@EvolveAutomotiveabsolutely this in spades. Previous use could border on the absolute reckless of nailing it from cold, or babying it. You never know until you open it up or it goes boom.
Having a V10 always makes sense......if you can afford to run it properly. In a world with increasingly soulless EV and Hybrid powertrains (I'm looking at you new C63 AMG) then engines and cars with character will always be special and sought after.
All this work and no Evolve headers installed😢. I can’t imagine a V10 without the Evolve headers on your Evolve car… Or are you guys gonna do all this work twice, dropping the whole subframe and stuff?
Everything will be done in stages, it would be a bit of a boring project if we did it all at once! But for customers who want rod bearings and headers, yes it’s cheaper at the same time 😉

you need to run some engine cleaner like marvel or sea foam through that motor for about 50 miles with oil .. then drain and refill again ... top off with Royal purple XPR best oil lab and bearing test prove it
@@EvolveAutomotive too low. Should be at like 500k easy. People are sleeping. Btw I'm getting another e92 m3 or e63 within a month. I'll be doing your shocks. But do they work with the kw has kit that fits on the stock edc struts?
They could be worn more than you think if those 34k miles were accumulated over a bunch of small distance drives, i.e. the car spending an inordinate amount of time in warm up phase. Low mileage is not always a good thing.
There is belief that a lot of the wear happens very early on in the engine's life, and then it's potentially luck of the draw afterwards. The chief considered reason is the 1st owners not really caring as they have a warranty.
I agree the issue is overblown by a mile. However I think it gets so much press because of how catastrophic it is. Regular oil changes, warm up procedures and overall maintenance and both s65/85 are just fine.
A V10 makes alwayes sense
Outstanding Technicians your working with. Their attention to detail is 2nd to none.

Cant wait to hear this with Eventuri intakes and and the exhaust system opened up.
yet another brilliant video Imran I think a V10 makes sense because electric cars are soulless and like mobile phones a throwaway product 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍
The drum and bass just made this even better
Gets all the good jobs big Aston ! ha ha ,,,,, brilliant work and video as usual ...
I've been AV10 Shirley worth it in 2024 I bought a lot of stuff in you guys and trust me the sound that car make that engine revenue is awesome
Best full bimmer project to take on!!
Following this intently. Slightly envious of the bonnet on this car, and the wheels.
Please upload more of this series 😫
A fascinating project!😁
Looking good - watching as I have a s85 on way to compliment the s65:)

That was a dope track.
Whats it called
@@shaniapearcey Decaying by Dreem.
I think the bearings are still ok bar the one for cyl 10. It seems wear depends a lot on how the car has been serviced and driven
Lend it to me for the weekend I’ll put some wear on those bearings!
Great video as always. Interested to hear your feedback on the Continental 7's. My Michelin PSS tyres are really struggling now my B58 is mapped (Stage 2)
Watching that timelapse install with a migraine is trippy. 🤣😂 Always a fun time tho watchin Aston tear into BMWs.

Damn, i wish yall shops were here in America
We ship parts worldwide and can recommend shops in America for you
Could you please advise what would be your charges for doing the rod bearing replacement (inc. parts & VAT)? Tks.

Does having a v10 make sense?! Does a bear shit in the woods? haha!
a V10 makes sense in every year 😊
Were these 088/089 bearings or newer 702/703?
It looks like you didnt check the bearing clearances, why not? Would of thought after that much mileage you would want to check in case undersize bearings were required
Thanks Imran brilliant vid 🫡 please give us a lot more s85 m6 content!!!!
Why is it so difficult to Turbo these motors?
The R8 and Huracan V10's seems so easy to add twin turbos
Space would be my first guess.
Of course owning a V10 makes sense!!! 😄 Curious on these rod bearings you went with. How many V8 and V10s have you installed these on?
Probably 30-40 cars at this point, even just holding them in your hand you can tell they’re a high quality part compared to other bearings.
Fantastic work from Aston & Hash👌

Same here. When I bought new tyres for my (previously owned) M2, I went for the Conti 7’s. They’re cheaper and slightly perform better in the dry

Just out of curiosity, at what mileage should you change the rod bearings? Do newer bearings wear as fast as the original equipment?
We'd advise changing them by 70k miles based on the 100s we've seen over the years. We consider it a must do 'major service' that if the car hasn't had done, pretty much regardless of mileage we would carry out so that we could enjoy the car with peace of mind.

what glasses does bro wear ?
No updates on this car?
Best solution for prolong life to rod bearing is to put 5w50 oil
This is what we use after the change, Motul 5w50. Unfortunately the problem is you just don’t know how the previous owners have treated the car.
@@EvolveAutomotive because 10w60 is to thick for this engine!
@@EvolveAutomotiveabsolutely this in spades. Previous use could border on the absolute reckless of nailing it from cold, or babying it. You never know until you open it up or it goes boom.
Updates??
It's crazy that there are people out there in 2024 that think bearing on s85 isn't regular maintenance.

How come you guys are on 140k sub?
Are saying that’s too high or too low? 🤔
140k plus 1@@EvolveAutomotive

They do not, we recommend the MSS HAS kit which is compatible
Too low@@EvolveAutomotive
Aston is the BOLLOCKS
Just change the final drive ratio to a 3.85:1 or shorter and your m5 bearing issues will be history.

How cold is there? lol
Well it’s British winter time
Come on brother, come and visit us in Canada for a winter@@EvolveAutomotive
What an odd flex 😂

This rod bearing issue is way way over exaggerated. V8 and v10 are not that bad. Have to be a car that hasn't been serviced to really damage them.
I agree the issue is overblown by a mile. However I think it gets so much press because of how catastrophic it is. Regular oil changes, warm up procedures and overall maintenance and both s65/85 are just fine.
This is the interweb, you can have 1 horror story and 1000 decent ones!
@jovaneghtesadi1494 I've had 2 v10 and 1 v8. Had plenty of problems but NO rod bearing issues lol
Agree. All these garages love to post rod bearing horror videos.
So I guess it's similar or the crank hub issue in the S55
manual swap
Couldn’t think of a more ugly BMW than the M6 of the Chris Bangle era.
