The legendary BMW E92 M3 is powered by one of the most iconic engines ever made — the high-revving S65 V8. But instead of buying one ready to go, we decided to take on the ultimate challenge: building it completely from scratch!
In Project Frankfurt: Part 6, we dive deep into the heart of the build — every bolt, bearing, and piston meticulously assembled by hand. From blueprinting the block to balancing the crankshaft and fitting those glorious ITBs (individual throttle bodies), this is the kind of engine build that separates enthusiasts from engineers.
💪 What’s inside this episode:
- Full teardown and inspection of the S65 components 🧰
- Precision assembly with upgraded internals 🔧
- Torque specs, tips, and race-proven secrets 🧠
- And of course — that first startup moment every builder dreams of 🔥
The goal? A screaming, naturally aspirated V8 that revs to the moon and delivers pure motorsport DNA straight to the tarmac.
This isn’t just a rebuild — it’s a tribute to BMW’s engineering masterpiece and a journey through passion, precision, and performance.
Stay tuned — Project Frankfurt is just getting started. 🏁💙
