Starting the BMW after two years

[RnRMan13]

M50 is most reliable engine I've seen. I been able to start it after a week on -35C cold within first 1-2 seconds.

[leungkaisiu]

right,the engine problem and the bake fluid

[jnewbon00]

BMWs dont die they sleep and if there crushed they are recycled and make new cars better

[kd84afc]

its only done 129k it shouldnt have a problem starting really

[LtColQwerty]

is that a swap in that car?

[buldogubld01]

of course is alive stupid, is a BMW!

[Anoush13]

I call bull shit on this!

After two years, the battery would be dead, and the fuel would have been stale and it shouldn't run.

[NorCalZman]

@Anoush13 You guys, you act like I did nothing but pull it out of the barn and turn the key. I didnt RECORD the work I did before starting the car. Since you are all such negative nancy's, Ill spell it out for you all: 1) I changed the oil. 2) I put a new battery in it. Its big and black and sits under the rear seat. see? I know where it is! 3) I put a thick tube down into the gas tank and attempted to suck the gas out. No gas was in the tank. I put in 5 gallons, then recorded this vid. DONE.

[Anoush13]

@NorCalZman Well how are we supposed to know that when you never stated it in the video or in the description.

[MrStoeipoes]

@Anoush13 maybe they but another battery and fuel in it

[MrPotsmoker666]

@Anoush13 Fucking idiot... use ur brain

[Anoush13]

@MrPotsmoker666 He's the idiot for not specifying that in the description!

[guitarydude]

After two years the petrol would be stale as fuck and wouldn't ignite.

[ayaks90]

the engine don't start only because there was no gasoline for this old M50B25 to start the engine after 2 years 1st you need to give contact 2-3 times because the fuel pump must loading the whole fuel installation and then the engine will start from 1st time :)

[NorwayMAN88]

@ayaks90 thank you.

[landraider101]

wouldnt the battery have had problems? my dad didnt start his car for 3 weeks which killed the battery

[TheJamiejame]

@NorCalZman The M52B28 nikasil block linings were a disaster, many were recalled and changed to alusil. Heavey oil useage and overheating was caused by this problem.

For an engine with an extra 300cc compared with the M50B25 you only have 1 extra hp, due to its restricted inlet manafold. Ok you get a bit more torque through the gears, but not as many rpms as the M50B25. Need i go on?

[NorCalZman]

@TheJamiejame ok. Im new to BMWs so still learning. Thought you might have been implying that the M50 wasnt a good engine. I have really been enjoying it and it has seemed to be very reliable.

[idunknowlol]

i hope you put some new gas in before you did that, 2 year old gas is not good for any kind of engine.

[NorCalZman]

@idunknowlol There was no gas in the tank. evaporated maybe? just put new gas in and recorded this video. Has been running like a champ ever since.

[Pitchplus8]

M50 the best 6 Zyl. Gasoline Engine BMW ever build.

[TheJamiejame]

@Pitchplus8 I was going to say exactly that, but i would have added the M50B25 vanos because this is the 1994 engine that caused the M52B28 to be a bit of a failure

[NorCalZman]

@TheJamiejame How did it cause the M52 to be a failure?

[thepricylon]

nice, Our family car ( BMW 730i e32) is standing in North Finland and for about 3 years now and it still standing there,

[LtColQwerty]

hold it till the car starts dummy. he thinks it starts in 2 seconds lol.

[NorCalZman]

@LtColQwerty my dad instructed me to do it the way you are seeing. I wouldve just cranked it until it started otherwise.

[RoadKingOnWheels]

@NorCalZman sure LOL

[DjHenno]

@LtColQwerty Might flood the engine

[Alex050796]

@LtColQwerty holding the key for too long can damage the starter. it's better to play safe :)

[thweepz]

@LtColQwerty u actually dont want to do that. my brother was explaining that if u crank it a few times, u build up pressure allowing the engine to start easier. not necessarily faster but it wont put as much strain. hes a mechanic

[jet62095]

@LtColQwerty because that's good for your starter? common sense

[epiphonesg007]

@LtColQwerty

It's better the way he does it.

Car should start in under a second.

By doing this instead of your way, you let the battery have a higher voltage at the end instead of putting a strain on the battery for 10-15 seconds.

E34 - very well built piece of engineering.

[MistaCJN]
