It is man

Very nice vid been thinking on buying this BMWs with blown motors and do the swap myself maybe tell us cost a least a round about so we can have an idea what some might get into

Love this man just did a trans swap on my 2003 E39 videos like yours gave me the confidence to do so by any chance does that e39 sedan still have the rear passenger curtains id be interested in buying if you still have them.

All the vids I've seen take the engine and trans out, disconnected from front subframe. This looks easier👏

i love this type of videos, would love to have details time it took, price you sold, tips and tricks. As i see online bunch of low price car but with bad engine, dont know if business wise is worth it to buy one and change engine or trans and resell .

nice. Already told you, but your video give me confidence to do BMW swap. I watched many time, and when I put my hands on it, it was pretty easy with basic tools and small home garage. Your perseverance is inspiring ! My project is to put all e90 335xi 6mt fully loaded drivetrain and equipement in my E91. And you know 'while I'm there' got a 6262 single turbo kit. Almost to the point to start it, but DKM twin disk clutch seems to have very long lead time. Ordered mine in may 2023, supplier told me end October... Anyway tanks for the E91 playlist, was very useful, I'm posting time to time on e90post. Now the CIC, comfort access, rear backup sensors, mpack and individual sound system will be a fun retrofit...

That sounds like a fun swap, I think the x-drive will make it perfect for all-season road trips. Thanks for watching, and good luck with your journey!

I have a 2006 BMW X5, what engine swap do you feel will be the best fit?

Hi. Can you give me please more details for the swap. I have a BMW e61 525i and I want to swap with the 545i .

Which quick jack is that if you don’t mind me asking ? Is that the 5000 or 7000 one

@TheBimmerBarn

2 ай бұрын

This is the 5000 model!

I do this too

Love your stuff! you’ve really helped me a lot. I rescued a 2001 525 wagon that had been abandoned for 10 years. I do have a question for you. In your opinion what would be the best bang for your buck bmw v8 to swap into a 525. Just looking for a bit more power.

@TheBimmerBarn

9 ай бұрын

Appreciate you watching! If you ask me, I'd say check out some forced induction options before deciding to do a V8 swap. If you go with M60/M62 or even S62, you'll need the 540i subframe and steering box which drives very different than the steering rack and aluminum subframe of the 525i. Also the motor is heavier and you feel it in the front end. If you want a 540i, it's easier to buy one instead of building one. If you want more power out of your M54, invest some money and you may be able to achieve the same horsepower. Hope that helps!

Thank you for the insight. I assumed it was plug and play. Knowing it would change the driving characteristics steers me away. I want it as factory as possible. Really like when you go into details in the videos by the way, please keep them coming.

M54b30 readily available cheap and will bolt straight in, Maybe throttle cable conversion

Quick tip, throw a lug bolt back on by a few threads and then hit it. At the bmw dealership I work at, all the new guys crack wheels by letting them fall

Where's the best place to purchase a used BMW engine I'm gonna save up

Is anyone doing conversions using heltec ecu etc?

I have an e46 318 and its got a 4 banger, the guy i got the car from said that he got the parts needed for the swap and a 3L 6 cylinder, how hard would you think the swap is?

Easy if u have all the stuff and a cherry picker

hi great video, i have a question would this technique work with a 04 545i and a 06 750i am swaping the 750 engine into the 545 just would know if you know if it would work thanks.

@TheBimmerBarn

7 ай бұрын

You would probably need to get the DME for a 550i and then I imagine with some coding it should work. It'll definitely fit since the motor is the same size, but the programming and sensors are slightly different between N62 and N62TU

Haha hey there, I'm still alive and well! Just been up to other businesses and also posting videos on my second channel (@chrisbuissondiy)! I still have a collection of bimmers, and plan to keep this channel focused on car content only, while my other channel will be a bit more broad and hobby focused. Thanks for watching and being a part of this community!

hrmmmm.. now if my N54 gives out, i want to stuff the B58 from a 340i into it..

I live in Dallas can you come change mine out 😂

Gravely disappointed! I'm trying to understand the work needed when changing the DME and everyone "sends them out."

@TheBimmerBarn

3 ай бұрын

Ideally, you want to keep the DME that the engine came with, so as to keep the correct programming. When we talk about sending the DME out, it just means someone did a "bench EWS unlock" which disables the security programming on the engine computer, so when you plug it into a new car, it will work with the new security module. Usually you can find someone in your local BMW group who will do it, or you can find someone online like eBay or Facebook who will do the service for you! Hope that helps
