Today's engine is a 560 Horsepower Hot-V Twin Turbo V8 from a 2014 BMW M5 with just 102k miles. The S63Tu is the second iteration of M-car hot-v v8 and there are a lot of improvements over the first generation, but that doesn't mean they're perfect. Squeezing 560hp from just 4.4L is a feat in itself and it comes at a cost. In this case, the engine locked up after a wide-open throttle pull getting on the highway. What causes this type of failure? Could it have been avoided? Was there pre-existing damage and the strain of a hard highway pull just pushed it over the edge? What do you think? Let me know in the comments!
Why do I do this? My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto recycling business called Importapart. Part of our model incudes buying blown up, core, or bad engines and dismantling them. We salvage the good parts and recycle the rest! We do not repair or rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those who do.
I really hope you enjoyed this teardown, as always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!
