  • Over the course of the last year, I took on the endeavor of building a N54 powered E91 Wagon. Through weeks of work and learning, I was able to create this BMW that was never sold in the US!

    This guy knows more about a BMW, than the 200 engineers that designed everything. Extremely impressive…

    I am so confused by the timing of various things that happen in this video. Why the hell wouldn't you do rod bearings/oil pan/turbos/charge pipes/etc., etc., etc., while the engine was out? You did all this work and didn't do a manual conversion? A 200k donor engine? The knowledge and work on display here is crazy, but I'm very confused by a lot of what I'm seeing.

    I have a mate who's got the 2008 320d version of these e90's and I recently did work on it and have a few other jobs to do, one of which being a matrix replacement and Im just wanting to know if you have any tips or tricks to make it easier for me to do this as I'm 90% sure it's a dash out job.
    Luckily I'm in college for motor vehicle and am a aspiring mechanic so anything I can learn is good.

  • @andyseo2246
    @andyseo2246 Před 11 měsíci

    Wow, really impressive. Awesome job!!! Can I ask you a question? While you have rebuilt the E91, were you able to see sunroof drain hose? My E90 has clogging issue on that. Would like to know whether it can be replaced by myself. When I tried to find the hose, it looked hidden inside the frame.

    • @TheBimmerBarn
      @TheBimmerBarn  Před 11 měsíci

      It is hidden inside the frame, your best bet is to try washing it out with water/degreaser, or poking it with a dull thin stick, something bendy. But I imagine it's either clogged closer to the top or bottom, so maybe grab a boroscope and try to see if you can find the plug first! I have this one: amzn.to/46bMks3 (affiliate)

    I have been doing research for months now for my 08 535i wagon after I took it to my local jiffy lube for a oil change come to find out 1-2 weeks later one morning (6am)about hop in the car to go to work i noticed the ground wet didn't mind it bc I had rain that night. The turned on detected check oil level I was shocked bc I had just service it, when I took off It marked again 1 minute after. when back around and parked it (5 minutes later) grabbed my other car to get work. Didn't see til later that day there was oil already there from my thinking it was just wet from rain. They forced the filter cap, cracked it, tried clueing it eventually exploded. now my engine is seized. Jiffy Lube told me F## off it wasn't there fault SMH but then they were the only one to put hands on it (I'm not a car guy at all)but I always wanted like caught my attention the tuning and performance scene. This my first bimmer. The car is in top shape just doesn't run bc that situation with jiffy lube. I do want to bring it to life .WHAT I DO? atleast to bring it to life(if its the budget in the moment ill be looking forward tuning it etc)

    How much harder would it be to swap a awd 335xi engine into an e91 and retaining the awd?

    • @TheBimmerBarn
      @TheBimmerBarn  Před rokem +2

      It would be much easier to swap a 335xi into a 325xi e91, since you won't have to modify the dsc or transmission components.
