The Broken Part That Almost Killed Our BMW 130i

Our BMW 130i project car was finally ready for its first proper drive… or so we thought! One broken part inside the engine turned this 370,000 km BMW into a ticking time bomb. In this episode, we tackle a faulty DISA intake valve, remove the intake manifold to recover broken pieces, replace the thermostat, and get this BMW back on the road. We’ll show you the repair process, the potential engine damage we narrowly avoided, and how we finally got the car through its registration inspection! Can our 3.0L naturally aspirated inline-six finally be trusted? Watch until the end to see our first proper drive!
