In the latest installment of Project Marsel by M539 Restorations, the team dives deep into the restoration of a 1991 BMW E31 850i, tackling tasks with the precision of a skilled surgeon. From installing the fuel tank to reviving the engine with custom chips and a revamped cooling system, every step is a symphony of automotive expertise. The decision to swap in a 315 ratio limited slip differential for improved acceleration showcases their commitment to performance over mere top speed. With Florian from limited slip. de on board for the differential restoration, the team ensures that every component is meticulously refurbished to perfection.
As they delve into the intricate world of differential rebuilding, Florian's expertise shines through, offering a masterclass in precision engineering. The meticulous disassembly, painting of the housing, and transfer of parts exemplify the dedication required for such a task. The discovery of worn output shafts adds a new layer of complexity, leading to a quest for replacement parts in a landscape where "NLA" seems to echo ominously. Despite setbacks, the team's determination to find solutions and push forward is a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence.
The journey to rebuild the output shafts becomes a rollercoaster of highs and lows, from the elation of finding one shaft in pristine condition to the frustration of dealing with heavily damaged components. The careful reassembly process, guided by a blend of expertise and ingenuity, showcases the team's ability to adapt and overcome challenges in their pursuit of automotive perfection. With each turn of the wrench and application of grease, the BMW E31 850i inches closer to its former glory, a testament to the passion and skill of the M539 Restorations team.
