ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST...

It's people like Bryan that make something like this something you WILL laugh about later but more importantly he keeps the mood sweet in the moment and that is something that can make a big difference. Plus he's connected and is more than willing to help people out. Much respect Bryan, everyone should have a friend like you in their lives.

build it! I would love to see you guys be the first of many built 340s its worth it if he wants that power. I hate to see a fellow bimmer down especially to such a great guy like Gary, comeback about to be strong 💪🏾

Everyone needs a buddy like Brian, and that’s why Kies has always had my business since I’ve been in the bmw world

Haven’t watched recently and didn’t know Chris passed away. That’s horrible. RIP Chris ❤️🙏

However unlucky of a situation this may be, You’re extremely lucky to have a guy like Bryan helping you through this process! It allows you to actually have laughs about it all because you know it’ll turn out better than it was! Wish i was able to document this process with my F30. 6,200 for 65k+ miles for a 2017 b58 with no core is an AMAZING deal! Good Luck

"This is Pond... James Pond" 😂😂

Ayyyy! Glad you're back on the road, Gary! Looking forward to seeing you at the Kies show

You guys should have done a leak down and a compression test to see if it’s the ring or the valves. Great video as always.

Damnnnn u guys are BEASTS for getting that done in a week!!! Talk about maxium Effort!!!

Way to take on that project! Glad it worked out well. Thanks for sharing

Oil weight is crucial depending on your application and how you drive . Also tuning , always check your logs for corrections anything can get triggered and go when your beyond stock. I drive my b58 like a nascar daily but I also change the oil every 3.5-4 I’ve changed coolant fluid maybe twice along with trans and diff , coils and plugs . Also a walnut blast and I only got about 35k miles now yea I know it’s maybe early and unnecessary to most but to me it’s necessary, car runs so good and smooth you don’t even see the motor shake with a cup of water on the top of it.

Sorry about your loss again. RIP Chris

I feel his pain. My 440i has been down 10 months now due to a busted piston skirt on #6. I decided to build the motor, new pure turbo, etc. Motor was installed about 2 weeks ago and NOW I’m getting faulty installation faults for both the intake and exhaust cams. The shop doing the removal/ installation can’t touch it as they didn’t build it and the engine builder is in another state…So frustrating…I’m so sick of this car man…I’m literally $20k out of pocket and almost a year into this repair and still can’t drive my car. It just seems to be one thing after another. He’s very very VERY fortunate to have you as a resource in this very unfortunate circumstance.

I love these kinds of videos. Good job guys

👍🏻👍🏻 ,glad you guys fixed it. Hope you gave your boy warranty 🤣. Sorry for your recent loss. Good luck gents.

Ouch, a Blown bullet-proof B58. Hard to believe the B58 piston rings failed like a crappy Audi 4-cyl. I guess if the Big Turbo failed, there would be oil in all 6 cylinders, not just No. 1. When you use Liqui Moly's Ceratec, it is the same color as a Cafe Latte. If you get your oil changed at an BMW Indie Shop, the tech will freak out when he sees Starbucks Coffee coming out of your engine oil pan.

If i had to take a guess to what happened, the center bearing in the turbo failed. this allowed oil to flow into the intake system, through the throttle body down the intake valves. of course oil doesnt compress it caused a increase in compression since it was blocking the piston rings. assuming you were running higher than stock boost+increased compression from blocked rings, caused damage to the valves that you saw with the borescope. due to the leaking valves, and oil fouled cause the misfires and well engine failure

Nice work guys!

really cool to see pretty much all disassemble and re assemble of the b58 good shit !

awesome job guys
