It's been a hot minute, but I think you'll understand that the wait was worth it!

2 and a half years mechanically restoring this magnificent E31 bolt by bolt, and this is the final result! Honestly, once I torqued down the last bolt and stepped back, I couldn't stop smiling. I'm overwhelmed with joy! Once you watch the video, you'll know what I mean.

I'm sorry for the big gap with the videos. Just a really bad period for me with lots of traveling, and not enough in the shop. I'm working on the follow-up E31 video where we'll driving it for the 1st time, and doing timing chain guides and rod bearings on the X5. So the gap this time shouldn't be too big.

Thank you all for your support and patience!

I Mechanically Restored This V12 BMW 850i to Better Than New

I set on a journey to fully restore this 1991 BMW 850i V 12 6-speed that I found in a garden in France where it spent 10 years rotting. This episode is a culmination of all mechanical work done over 2 years and 5 months as we button up the suspension and lower the car on its wheels after such a long time. The before and after transformation is astonishing!

Sreten, at around 7 minute mark in the video you put some dark gray grease under the Lemförder boots in the balljoints to make them last longer. What grease did you use?
