Sam Crac buys lots of stuff that way... Its earning him a fine youtube wage

Yeah he does have a few of those, his Ferrari is a similar story, the gift that keeps on giving. I'm curious how this FFRR is going to turn out, especially since it has the BMW engine................... MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

I quite like his YT channel, but with an L322 with a duff engine, it's a pointless project unless you really desire one, there would be next to no profit or saving with this car, unlike his other salvage buys.

I guess it's worth a bit of time spent getting it running with the head gasket gone, mainly to check the gearbox isn't duff and drives OK. Might also be worth checking the the air suspension fault first before doing any engine work.
Assuming both check out OK, it would still be unprofitable , but I'd buy a spare engine, do all the timing gear PCV and gaskets, etc and drop it in.

Well the 4.4 BMW car was given away to a viewer, so you think it would have put him off buying another dead L322 , but no, he's got a 5.0 Supercharged with a dead engine.

Part 2

Part 3

Just had a watch of that.

Very interesting, car was basically written off by the dealership. Seems hopeful of getting it running.

Interesting bit on the supercharger coupling as well, and that the dealership would want to sell you a whole new SC. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Good couple of videos there - liked the supercharged ones.

Nice wheels on it - seem rare? 1995 4.6 v8, green/tan (long gone)
2005 4.8iS X5, blue/black
2011 4.4 tdv8, black/black (gone)
2003 3.0d X5, Oxford green/black/manual
2021 p575 SVR, BR green/vintage tan

Certainly gave it a good rattle getting it down off the trailer! But then again a broken front bumper is the least of his worries 09 RR Westminster 3.6TDV8 - Stornoway Grey / Black interior - now gone (sad face)

Just had a look at his Instagram feed aparently all is not plain sailing on putting it back together..... which is presumably why there isn’t a new video. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
