BMW Viento first start video
I reached a major milestone today so I thought that I would post the traditional first start video. Didn't run it for long as it has no coolant
in the radiator yet.
BMW Viento first start
Sounds a bit rough as it only has the original BMW exhaust manifolds attached and no exhaust system down stream of those. However, very please that
it started on the first attempt, allowing for the fuel system to become primed. Even more pleased that the whole lot didn't burst into flames
or spring leaks everywhere.
Its really starting to feel like a car now and the IVA is in sight...

Well done Steve - that sounds even better than it looks (and it looks great)
Don't know if I'll make Donnington as family up but will try and get over to you soon.
Cheers, Neil.

Hi Neil, your welcome any time. And I still owe you an engine stand.

Sounds almost as good as a V8.
You cant beat a Straight 6 job. They do sound good.
Now... DONT spoil that nice soudtrack with too much silencing 
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards

It sounds a lot louder in real life than on the video so some serious silencing is going to be needed to get through IVA. In fact, the neighbours
came out of their house to see what was going on.
That said, I was pleasantly surprised with how good it sounded with only the original BMW exhaust manifold on, so your right, over silencing would be
a bad idea
