However, it immediately proved to be trickier than he initially anticipated. Not only was there more physical damage than he thought but the engine proved difficult to get running again. Buying a wrecked six-figure super sedan with more electronics than the space shuttle doesn\u2019t sound like the best idea. So what happens now?<\/p>\n<p>The first they Armstrong wanted to do was start the engine, to make sure it worked properly before digging into this project. In the crash, its oil cooler was smashed, which caused the engine to dump all of its oil. So Armstrong hoped that the engine was off when the oil was dumped, to avoid damage. However, he couldn\u2019t get it started for long enough to test it out. In this new video, he found the incredibly simple, but totally obscure, reason why it wouldn\u2019t start and fixed it for cheap. After that, the engine fired right up.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M5-Competition-with-M-Performance-Parts-11.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-428490\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M5-Competition-with-M-Performance-Parts-11-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M5 Competition with M Performance Parts 11 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M5-Competition-with-M-Performance-Parts-11-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M5-Competition-with-M-Performance-Parts-11-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M5-Competition-with-M-Performance-Parts-11-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M5-Competition-with-M-Performance-Parts-11-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M5-Competition-with-M-Performance-Parts-11.jpg 1670w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M5 Competition with M Performance Parts 11 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-428490\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M5-Competition-with-M-Performance-Parts-11-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M5 Competition with M Performance Parts 11 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M5-Competition-with-M-Performance-Parts-11-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M5-Competition-with-M-Performance-Parts-11-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M5-Competition-with-M-Performance-Parts-11-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M5-Competition-with-M-Performance-Parts-11-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BMW-M5-Competition-with-M-Performance-Parts-11.jpg 1670w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M5 Competition with M Performance Parts 11 830x553\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next up was to check the frame and chassis. The big issue was that there was a hole in the strut tower. Not a small one, either. Instead, it looked like the Hulk threw a baseball through it. Problem with that is the fact that the strut tower is made from a specific aluminum alloy, making it expensive, and it\u2019s bonded to the body, making it difficult to repair. Then Armstrong had to worry if there was any more chassis damage to contend with.<\/p>\n<p>Armstrong has made a habit of trying to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/08\/22\/video-bmw-635csi-engine-and-gearbox-removed\/\"> revive damaged cars<\/a> but this one might be his most ambitious project yet. His F90 M5 was absolutely wrecked from the front and it\u2019s going to require a ton of work. However, because it\u2019s a highly complicated F90 M5, that work isn\u2019t easy. So check out the progress he\u2019s making and be sure to follow it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"REBUILDING A CHEAP BMW M5 COMPETITION | PT 1\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vGgokT1evX8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, YouTuber Mat Armstrong bought himself a wrecked F90 M5 with the intent to rebuild it.
