Dude you need to do a “how to video” for all the other knowledgeable people who are kind enough to produce “how to” videos…great explanation, no extra blah blah blah. Awesome.
I second this. let's team up!
Straight to the point, no wasted time, great explanation, detailed with no fluff. More of what you are working on should be in the shot. Also, if we are watching these videos, we probably don't have a lift, showing the at home garage style of doing things would be better.
Subscribed, thank you!
You are the only person to do this in detail. This video is extremely helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Do not ever take this video down, ever 👍
Excellent, excellent walk through. Thank you!
Great, thanks for uploading
Very helpful! Gonna be doing a M54B22 to B30 swap soon!
Great video, straight to the point
Very good video, he did a good job of explaining mostly everything
Appreciate the level of detail mixed with speed of delivery
Quick and concise, now so just need an e46
Great video
thank you for this!
Any time, hit that sub button baby!
HOLY SHIT DUDE. straight to the point and clear. can u imagine if every tutorial was this good
Thank you man! Happy to help!
@@DENVERBEERANDOIL can i ask why we need to remove the driveshaft? Can we just disconnect it from the trans?
Yes, you simply disconnect from trans. If you also drop the center support bearing you can bungie chord it off to the side and out of your way.
@@DENVERBEERANDOIL just got done pulling the motor out. Your video so helpful to me.
Great video..!!!
Now I just need to get up off my lazy ass and get to work...
Wish me luck..
OMG it's like exactly the information I wanted w/o a bunch of BS.
Güzel emek ve açıklamalar için teşekkürler. Türkiyeden selam.
Good video, Question: If you are doing a direct replacement. a 2.5 with a 2.5. Do you need to disconnect all of the lines from the body, same with the wiring harness? I guess i am answering my own question.... good video.
Great video !!!! Thanks but man those guys talking in the background ...did they not see a recording going on?
Combination of bad microphone and early days with filming haha!
I spun a bearing in my s54 so I am pulling it out of the car (cause the journal on the crank is f*cked) and this video is helping A LOT, thank you!
I'm glad, that's why we made it. If you would like some automotive entertainment while your car down, please check out some of our other videos and consider subscribing.
Jeff Stein same lol whatd you end up doing?
Y love the e46 M3 the motors 3L2 is in 3L5 is renforcer one big turbo is 1000 ch chur
Just curious about the 02 sensor speel because it looking like you were messing with the spark plugs especially when you mention 6 but you said o2 sensors like 3 or 4 times
Stop pointing the camera to his face! Point it at the car.
Early days, but feedback helps!
lol m6x's and the getrag in the back. very awesome how to
Good Eye, we have a few full e39 6-Speed drivetrains if anybody is in need of a swap on the cheap.
Great video!!! I'm about to do a swap out the bottom and have a few questions that I hope you might know the answers to... I have a 01 330ci 170k on its 2nd bad auto trans (zf5hp19). long story long. Bought a wrecked doner , 04 330ci 6 speed with 50k. Because of the mileage , was just going to swap it motor and all , out the bottom. Questions... Other than all things involved in the manual swap aspect of it,.. will the rest of the electrical stuff plug and play? Use the newer ecu or m ? Can I swap the cluster and what mi will it show? Anything else you would swap while you where in there? Thanks in advance
as long as you use your harness and accessories it will work. If you run that DME anf cluster you will also have to use that key and ews module. It gets complicated. easier to not change your mileage.
Okay so I’m about to do my swap this week and I’m pulling it from the front so what other hoses do I need to disassemble? Like fuel and power steering? Since u dropped it from the bottom I wanted to know what other stuff I need to pull off
Fuel will still be disconnected at the same place. Power steering you have the choice between disconnecting it on the rack side or on the power steering pump itself. It’ll help to remove the whole front clip off of the car, we don’t have any videos on it but there will be tutorials on CZcams. Aside from that most of it is the same. I’ll have the other guys chime in on this in case I’ve forgotten something too
Denver Beer & Oil okay thanks
any videos on how to fix camshaft sensor and crankshaft sensors on a 2002 e46 m3 ?
Can certainly make one for you!
Will greatly appreciated thank you so much
If taking the engine out of the top/front, would you have to disconnect the engine from the subframe only and then out or would I have to disconnect all the steering and suspension system too?
You would need to disconnect motor mounts, power steering high pressure line from pump to rack (top line 19mm), steering reservoir fill line and steering linkage (in order to clear the oil pan) other than that the process is the same minus disconnecting brakes/tophat bolts/yaw sensor(if equipped)/control arm bolts/subframe bolts. Hope this helps
Do you have social media bro? Im not 100% clear where you are referring to when you mention the ground all bmws have on the passenger side.. just wanted to get a clear picture

Excellent work, problem is some people like my self are only looking for the answer to `can the engine be pulled without the auto or manual trans att. Can eng be lifted out without removing the front end.. bumper etc. to watch your video all the way thru and find it doesn't apply to everyday e46 was a disappointment.til then it was well done.
The engine can be removed be without removing the transmission, just need to support the trans. Engine can be pulled without removing the front end, either with or without the trans attached. Best tip is to remove the steering shaft and leave the rubber engine mounts in the car, remove the clutch fan if your car is equipped, remove the radiator.
Ho do you get to the transmission bolts? Drop the transmission?
cheers DBO, you are correct....
I just saw this reply, I am a 78 year old, working with jacks and stands. The Job is finished and successful.. 3series N42 engine swap, auto trans left in place, Did not need to remove front panels or front B/bar. The job wasn`t that hard, just slow and easy does it. If someone offered me another 3 series with a blown engine I`d prob buy it and do it again. To be honest I`d rather do engine swaps on my Firebird or Mustang any day.. ha.
@@osirisfornever9127 its fiddly, but I have mostly 3/8th drive sockets etc, I used my very long ext with swivel end to get up there from below. With the trans cross-member dropped it lets you in easier, don`t forget to keep a trolley jack under the box to drop it or lift it as necessary.
I think your camera man is in love with you, he can't take his eyes off you. Car? what car?..Thanks anyway bro.
i’ve replaced the engine on a 330ci i pulled in straight out with the transmission attached. i had to take bumper off.
That is another way, we find it to be a little slower and and a little more work when you have a lift. But if doing it in your garage or driveway that is definitely the best way.
good point! either way it’s not that difficult removing the engine. good video 👍
dope video & channel. I wish the cameraman spent more time getting good shots of parts and close ups instead of getting the white dudes face in every shot
Cameraman need to record what you are pointing to, he is fixated to your face lol.
Early days haha, improving this as we go on!
Makes sense but if you’re watching this because youre about to pull your engine you better know the gist of what hes talking about regardless lmfao
cameraman / person might be his wife and she loves him... haha kidding.
Not every body has a lift
appreciate the video/diy, however the camera guy needs to stop pointing the camera at the tech and stay focused on the part/section hes talking about.
Bruno 100% agree and what I was thinking while watching this video. This video’s title is very misleading, or it’s just the worst “how to” video out there, because I didn’t learn at all on how to actually do this job. Just more telling people than actually showing them how to do it.
Actually wrong about the wiring. You can put some of them in backward. I had a 325ci that I just could not sort out until I looked closer at the wires to the computer. They are color coded though, black connectors go to the black box, blue connectors go to the blue box.
well done but your camera man is focusing on you not on the car!!! bit annoying when can't see
How did the LS swap go into this car what transmission did you use ?
Hey Brent! We haven’t actually started the swap yet, the shell is sitting in the lot until we get other projects completed. However, we’ll most likely be using a t56 or 4L80
DBO thanks for the quick reply this video really helped me out I have a 02 coupe as a project car what do you think the full swap will run you guys what’s really intimidating me is the wiring and driveshaft on the LS ?
There’s a lot of variables to quote a price straight out, but this is one of the easier cars to swap and there’s a lot of support and documentation if you want to go full DIY or you could essentially buy everything to make it plug and play
Awesome brief explanation... BUT cameraman could have done a better job!!
Not a very good “how to” video, as the video shows you just telling people what to do than actually showing you doing the job itself. It was a good effort, and you’ll get views, but not necessarily a video that “shows” how to do it.
Thanks for the feedback, we’ll continue to improve as we make more videos
