TESLA BMW SWAP electric conversion timeline

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This comprehensive video is a reminder of the good old days when I was working on this conversion and really enjoyed doing it. I was very passionate from start to finish. Even until today. Still one of the best cars that BMW EVER MADE !

    Amazing build. Extremely clean looking. I would love to do a conversion but the laws in Denmark is very prohibitively unless you have the amount of money that you can buy a good used EV, just for the paper work and approvals. Not realistic for DIY'ers.

    6:05 nice air cooled Porsche back there. Really like how you changed from ICE to electric, you made some nice changes to the BMS and other parts, also like the Infotainment you have installed, so many features are in it. 👍💪✌

    Like how you reset the odometer to 0 km once it became an EV. Now you can see how many kilometers you've driven in it since changed to an EV. The body had under 200'000 on it and it looks really nice.

    Really impressive build, great work. A few questions though. Why isn't the rear battery lower in the spare tyre well? With the battery on top I assume the tyre isn't accessible? Also as it's a manual what gears do you usually use? I assume you'd start in 2nd or 3rd?

    Thank you . There is not enough space where spare tyre well is. I would need to cut the chasis . This is not allowed by TUV inspection because of loosing strength chassis integrity .

    If you can get it for decent price then yes. But you still need to buy controller.. Im more now in 2024 for automotive electric motors from wrecked EV-s, like Tesla LDU , SDU, Lexus GS450H, IS300.. .
