- This BMW 325 has been sitting in my front yard for quite some time and its about time it receives a much needed engine transplant. Join me on my journey to getting this car back on the road again.

I felt the “out of battery” vibe
you make this look so easy!
Nice work! I can't wait to see your next videos!
respect you make it look so easy ^^
excellent video! Keep up the good work - it's appreciated. Btw: Jack your car up a little higher and make your life a little easier!
yes good job
Need more!!!!
Awesome video, please post an update!
Nice video. I love swapped e30s. I have an s52 swapped e30. Any updates on the car? Suspension setup?
MORE VIDEOS!
Man, thats an awesome swap! 👍Did you have to customize the motor mounts and what about the wiring was that difficult to do? Were all the manual transmission parts like linkage and shifter from your e30 or the e39?
The motor mounts can be easily bought online so you don't have to do the guess work in the angles of the motor
The shift linkage was actually from the e39 I just cut it to fit and then welded them
Dude! Awesome! How is it now? Build me one!!
Put up some updates... is the same as the 740 engine?
When you turned on the car it was growling sound? What have you done to fixed it? Thanks
Nice work man !
can you help with this please ?
i have an E30 i'm planning to restore and there is a N62B44 V8 engine taken from an E65 available to purchase from one of my friends.
i've been looking online for information on the possibility of this swap especially the gearbox which is an automatic (ZF GS6S53BZ) , i want a manual though and the only thing i could find online is some talks about using the E39 6 speed manual but those are very rare and expensive.
do you have any idea how can i do this swap ? what kind of manual gearbox would work with this engine ?
and if no manual gearbox is available , how can i use the engine and its original automatic gearbox in an E30 ?
any informations regarding this is quite appreciated , thank you in advance.
Hy what about fuel economy
How is the car still running after the swap? Any updates?
Jw how much did the total swap cost in $ and time?
What steering pump did you use? I know the v8 pumps have higher pressures compare the straight six.
I actually used the pump off the e34 m60 but made custom stainless power steering lines. You can probably get away with oem e30 lines and just "bend" them to fit.
nice! How long did it take you to have the engine swaped?
The engine swap itself took about a week but it was only like that because I had all the parts ready
Didnt cut the oil pan?
What is the engine control unit?
Thanks for posting this 🙏🏾. Gives me confidence in my e30 m62TU build. Just curious. How long did it take for you to complete the job?!?!
ANT5003 the swap itself took about two weeks cause I only worked on it after work and weekends, you can probably finish it within a week but only if you have all the parts ready to go. If not, it'll be a waiting game for parts
Mouthy Mechanic wow, that’s a very small amount of time. I do I have a majority of the parts all including the custom driveshaft, ECU ect. Ready to go. Was debating on just doing it on my own vs paying a shop.
Hi how did you go about with the brake booster did you replace it with the E28i brake booster
Wouldn't it been easier to lower the car on top of the car?
What did you do for wiring? Harness, ecu, ews???
404 ecu
Did you change the timing chain guides on newer engine ?
I actually replaced all the seals and timing chain guides before the engine went in. The engine was actually a obdII non vanos so I actually converted it to obdi also
What ecu did you run?
