Welcome to WeWrench Episode 6. We are now on the fast track to removing the entire engine and powertrain in one piece. With the front clip and core support removed, we have a clear shot to access everything that attaches the engine to the chassis.
My project car is painted BMW Paint Code 287 Mauritius Blue Metallic which only adds to its allure and pedigree. Although definite numbers are not known, there could be less than 4 US Spec M5's painted in this Mauritius Blue Metallic and built to this configuration. The E34 M5 has the venerable S38B36 Engine, tuned by the Engineers at the BMW Motorsport division in Garching Germany. The S38B36 is based on the M88/3 engine which has a rich history and lineage in the BMW racing division. Compared to the M88/3, the S38 has a lower compression ratio (9.8:1), simplified exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, dual-row timing chain and a shorter camshaft duration. As per the M88/3, the S38 uses a DOHC valvetrain with shim-and-bucket valve actuation. Air intake is via six individual throttle bodies with intake trumpets, fed by a cast aluminum intake plenum. It is rated for 310 horsepower and 266 pound feet of torque in it's stock configuration.
Any owners of the BMW E24 M6 and E30 M3 will benefit from watching as well, due to the fact that the S38B35 powertrain and S14B20, and S14B23 powertrain share parts with the S38B36. You will also benefit from watching this series if you own the following BMWs:

Please share you thoughts about this project. Should I turn it into a rest-mod or leave it stock?

Good searchable title.
Nice going!!

[@wewrench]

Thank you very much!

[@robertokuna6352]

Can you make more episodes than short videos? I really enjoy these episodrs

[@wewrench]

Thank you for your feedback. I do a short every day to improve the account metrics. The longer episodes take a few days to do because I’m a one man band. I’m going to try to get them out more frequently though

[@skuffle5309]

Have you set a date as a goal that you'd like to have this restoration done by? I imagine this will take quite a chunk of time to complete. Has it been hard to get parts in a reasonable timeframe?

[@wewrench]

Honestly, I haven't even ordered anything yet. Still have to get the engine torn down and measured to see the extent of wear. After I know that, then I will order everything.

[@ALKUKES]

Its f up because if you do filming this way you cant do the shorts and if you film vertical you cant use it as a long video if you crop it its not great so you end up having lond videos or shorts or film both at same time with 2 cameras

[@wewrench]

I know. It’s really difficult to do. Trying to change that going forward
