Great work! And Madonna would be proud of that musical pause 👍
🤣🤣🤣
Outstanding work! This is what I have always dreamt of doing in my E38 shorty sport. You could have just flashed the 4.4 DME with 4.6 software allowing you to keep the original keys and EWS. I think the only difference is the emissions stuff between E38 and E53 which may cause a check engine light.
yes yes yes 😊👍🏻
Thanks for these amazing videos! Greetings from Estonia

Another great video pal. I first sae your 740 vid a few years back. It has to be one if not the best around. Keep the videos coming dont be shy with the in depth content.
Spoke about sound of engine during first crank to raise oil pressure. This is something one can only learn by DOING. The piston cranking rhythm should be even, equal and steady. Any disturbance heard in that rhythm tells the mechanic -> STOP, investigate, ask what did I miss? This is especially important when working alone w/o a second technician to say something like: Hey you only hand tightened the valve cover bolts, you forgot to torque them.
Nice job. Apart from the 4.6 swap I am doing very similar restoration on my 740i facelift. Thanks for sharind the info about the torque converter and bell housing, good to know all this info
I see you everywhere mate.
@@matthewbarnes1561 Baby arrived not long ago so haven't uploaded anything recently but loads of work done on the 740i. We have similar interests so not surprised we see eachother's comments
@@TheKeenMechanic congratulations buddy and yeah mate I'll be keeping an eye out on your vids.
@@matthewbarnes1561 Thanks Matthew. No spare time at all now 👶. Speak soon buddy
Can you see about grabbing a set of 750 "high security" front brakes. Those things are extra, extra beefy..
Great job. Love watching your videos.. 👍
Another great work! Can you show us in a nee video how to remove engine completely from e38 in any video? Start to end process and put the engine back? Please let us know. Thanks
Another amazing video ed, thums up, keep up the good work :)
Thanks bro
Love your work! Great contet!
Hi always great content to watch please do more great stuff from carl south africa pe
Even Torque converter form 4.4 is different with 4.6 , they may looks same but inside different bulid.
Keep updated dyno score... My ex 4.6 X5 with 90k miles show 320hp(video on my profile)
Definitely
Eddie get the valve body on the gearbox rebuild, and a full service and she will shift effortlessly! I went to ZF in dortmund best €600 spent on her.
Yeah maybe in future
great engine, great car
Original valve cover is powder coated, and indeed it doesn’t last
Nice Videos but a Little more to much speaking. We like to see more bodywork or electrical work.
Go ahead.👍👍
Why use a 4.6 torque converter? Larger converter is heavier and will take more power to spin up.
Goood!!!
Ed, you really like the B4? I put new Sachs dampers one my Schnitzer about 6.5 years ago, they have covered 45k but don’t feel that good anymore with the factory Schnitzer spring.
I have a full set of B4’s in my lockup with a set of Eibachs to replace my rusty springs.
You think the B4 will be better than my Sachs?
They both good..but yeah I like B4
Super human
I was wondering whether I can cooperate with you, that's gorgeosly amazing
I was wondering where did all e38 go? Now that makes sence.. Ed bought all of them in the UK
Only like 100 ish over 8 years
@@The777Garage haha interesting fact, there are about 120 e38 left in the UK (according to 2018 statistics), we should blame you ahhaha joking :)
I went for lie down , head ache .
When will part 3 be available?
Hi Ed greetings from New Zealand, love your work with all things Bimmer. Hey so i have converted my x5 4.6is to manual and rwd. it fully starts and drives but I am having one small issue when i try to go full throttle just above 3000-4000rpm in any gear the car starts the cut power for a split second and just keeps doing that till i back off the throttle. So my question is did you have to change any of the modules out from the x5 to e38 car? or did you use the e38 traction control module? Thanks Richard
Have u done coding? 100% abs cutting power off
@@The777Garage Yes I have coded the car to get started and coded to manual. but i agree it has something to do with abs. Though i took the car out for another drive tonight and found a way to rev out all the gears. if i hold the gas pedal at a very shallow angle say pedal is at 95 degrees stationary if i have my foot at 105 degrees it lets the car rev out. So could be throttle postion as well. I just dont know what to do from here. Any ideas Ed?
you have a bad MAF
And you also have to tune the dme for the 4.6 software
@@blackrednek Hi yes i have had DUDMD from the states do a custom 540i6 reflash and 4.6is software put back on. but still is having the same issues. but ill check the Maf out. ill put my spare one on and see if it helps. Thanks for the help
I don’t know anything about cars, but ai just inherited an E38. Is that a more powerful engine than stock?
Well by the book yeah..from 286 to 345bhp
what is the difference between 5hp24 and 5hp30 ....and how drive both....and why they put the 24 instead of 30 on the facelift e38 V8 .....
Hi
Love it .
Do you know any 6 speed automatic transmission can swap on 2001 e38 740il ?
Thanks
Im wanting to do in future 8zf swap with adapter plate..I think someone in Poland already done it
So you're telling me, that all this time.... Size does matter 🤐
🤪
I want to do a manual swap to a E38, what's the best gear box to get and what components would I need to do one that will be successful??
What engine size?
M62B35 engine
Is there an advantage of using the 4.6 torque converter behind a 4.4 engine? I have a spare 4.6 torque converter laying around.
Well I still need find out this
@@The777Garage Thank you, I would love to know
One question, does the 6-speed Manual gearbox from 740i directly bolt on to the 4,6 engine?
Yes..it would fit any m62 engine
@@The777Garage thank you for replying ❤️
Hi mate i got e39 535i and wane swap 4.6is into it what are the changes i need to do help plzzz
See part 1 of the swap
Why does my 97 740i not have upper header cats and has a 5hp 30 Trans.
It's has m62 tub44
its a late production 96 and thats before they started giving you less for more
Im just wondering, is there a reason for not going to 4,8 from the X5?
Is it a much harder swap or was the 4,6 what he had available ?
4.8 from x5 is N62 engine completely different
@@The777Garage I’m aware, I was just wondering if it’s that much harder since it is different..
Btw I’m loving your engine swap,
I own a 740iL myself with ACC which is kind of rare from what I can tell but it’s not working atm :(
I went to a BMW dealership to have them take a look and all they said was “we can do some troubleshooting but can’t promise anything since it’s an old car” :)
what subframe was used for the swap
Same just powder coated
Oh okay one more question as far as wiring i have a 2000 bmw 540 wagon i think its considered pre facelift whats the best way on wiring it and did you just swap over the full x5 ecu over to your car ?
