2019年7月23日 · Biggest ticket items: Rod bearings will need to be replaced, only go high clearance from BE or ACL. This fixes the bearing oil clearance issue. If you put BMW spec back in, you will need to replace them again. Regarding bearings much past 80k miles and you are gambling. Also around that time throttle body actuators and idle actuators will go.

2023年9月11日 · Controversial opinion, I personally love the E63 M6 and having driven a true manual one that was also a Dinan car, I freaking LOVED IT and really want one myself. Even being 15 years old and with nearly 100k miles, it was amazingly comfortable, the edc worked a treat, and the glorious V10 noise is alone worth it.

On the plus side: the V10 sounds magnificent with the right exhaust. Truly exotic. And, having been co-developed with an F1 team at the time it does have true F1 roots. I wouldn't be surprised if, in 10+ years time, it becomes a collector's car because of that engine. The first and (probably last) V10 in a BMW.

2017年4月3日 · BMW went very, very aggressive and leapfrogged the entire pack. The step forward they made in engine power alone was astonishing. I will let the specs speak for themselves. BMW P80 (2001) Type V10-90º Displacement 2,998 cc Bore: 95.0 mm Stroke: 42.3 mm Cylinder spacing: 103.5 mm Bank offset: 19 mm Engine length: 598 mm

2020年9月15日 · The S65 (same engine with 2 cylinders chopped off, in the E9x M3) is by far the most reliable V8 BMW has made, OEM rod bearings aside. The only other issue is the throttle actuators, but they just put you in limp mode when they go, and there's a fix for those too (replacing a plastic gearset with metal).

2022年6月16日 · BMW uses a 10W-60 oil in the M dereived engines. You can look on forums and see bearings that look horrible with much lower milages. Most of the wear occurs when the engine is cold and the oil is thick.

Ouais, les modèles ne sont pas assez fiables et ce V10 est une dinde. Mais je pense qu’en posséder un et le faire fonctionner est plutôt génial. J’oserais aussi dire que posséder/conduire une BMW v10 est plutôt cool en soi. Mais de toute façon, ce n'est que mon avis. Je suis sûr que beaucoup ne sont pas d’accord.

2022年4月12日 · For most manufacturers providing a V10, it was their biggest engine, and with harsher efficiency targets everyone has gone for turbos on smaller engines with fewer cylinders. So V8s getting replaced by turbo 6s, V10s with turbo V8s (or straight down to a 6) and V12s, well there really aren't that many of them to scale down now.

2018年5月29日 · New to the group, here is my Lotus Elise that I cut in half, extended the chassis 20” and widened the track 14” to compensate for the new 5.0L BMW V10 and Porsche transaxle that I dropped in the rear. Been building it for almost 3 years, and nearing completion this summer. Thanks for the add. Album. Facebook Video

2020年4月22日 · Honestly, not being rude to anyone, if you think spending 3k to fix a problem on the car every 6-8 years (assuming 10k miles a year) is a lot, you really should not buy an M car in general at all, let alone a S65/85 powered car.
