Such a perfectly built M3. Love it!
27:03 video encoding glitch was a false internet down moment 😂

ProTip: The oil level display in the iDrive doesn't reflect the total oil level of the 8.8L V8 oil capacity in the Engine. It is just used to indicate when you need to add 1-2L. When the S65 V8 blew you said the oil level was at 3/4 full....That is 2L down and the oil status should have gone red. Those M3 owners who have had the oil cooler in the front bumper punctured (and continued to drive the car home) know the feeling when the oil level goes red.
There is an oil level sensor under the metal plate in the front that should be replaced after 150k miles, earlier if you track your M3. It might give false oil level readings as the car gets older. The best practice is to do an oil change and top up right before a track day, so you know you have 8.8L of oil in the engine, Maybe just add 1-2L before a track day. Ignore the oil overfill warning. M3 S65 V8s burn oil (1L per every 5k miles).

Hey, don’t worry about that ground wire. Trust me, you guys are not amateurs. I was a BMW tech in a previous life, and I’ve made worse mistakes. One time while training an apprentice I left the fill plug on the transmission loose and the car came back a month later with a destroyed transmission. We all make mistakes. The important thing is you found it, and fixed it, and didn’t ruin anything in the process!

10:06 That rear trailing arm is meant to be a sacrificial piece in case of an accident. Why? because it saves you puncturing (potentially) your gas tank. The piece installed now increases that risk… just sayin’.

Happy to see you got the engine and ground issue sorted, it’s so disheartening when that happens after a big job like swapping out the engine. Love the track wheels but I can’t say I’m feeling the TE37’s, to me, they are the pumpkin spice of wheels, but it’s your car and I love the content and I’m excited to see how it goes on the track. Great series as usual👍.

After an engine swap the engine would die after the radiator fans kicked on. I was chasing electrical issues and about to tear the car apart until a buddy asked if I had an air filter on the throttle body. I did not and why would that matter I thought. The rad fans kicking on were blowing air into the intake tube and causing the MAF to get odd readings. Guy saved me an unreal amount of trouble.

Hi Guys! Just for information - This rear trailing arm (C-Shape one) was designed that it case of any accident, it will bend itself, to avoid situation where it will destroy fuel tank (that’s why they have a little break in the middle). This is the same part that is used in Non-M E9X platform. Great video as always! Cheers!
