Say Aloha to the time capsule that is project Phoenix!

The most original and cleanest E31 I've come across. It's been off the road for 7 years, so why not revive it right there on the spot and drive it 600 miles? This was a perfect honeymoon!

I love doing these revive & drive episodes, and I hope you like it too. This was a perfect honeymoon! I got to tinker with a V12 and enjoy Hawaii after with my better half.

I'm back home now and working on several episodes: Maserati, 6-speed manual swap on the E39, more track stuff with the E46, and prepping the E31 for engine reinstall. The next episode should be on the Quattrobroken, I got most of the parts that I need to put the engine back together, but I'm still waiting on the turbos to come back.

Mahalo!

Reviving a Broken V12 BMW E31 850i While on Honeymoon - Project Phoenix

Honeymoon with a broken V12 BMW that's been off the road for 7 years. Sounds perfect, right? Well, it is! I found this time capsule, a totally original 1991 E31 850i with the rare 6-speed manual transmission in a garage in Phoenix, Arizona. The plan is to revive right there on the spot and drive it to California.

Great episode, and good to see another E31 saved. Made me want to buy an E31, though my budget is more aligned to an E31 t-shirt than a car : -) When you were cutting back the seat cable, did you mean 15 mm rather than 15 cm?

Hey Sreten, you were in my part of the woods on this one (metro Phoenix)! I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, and it looks as if you had a great time. Looking forward to more of your content.
