Swapping The Engine In My Fathers E46 330Ci!

After a series of unfortunate events, the original M54B30 in my father’s E46 330Ci was rendered useless without throwing thousands of dollars worth of rebuilding and machine work into it.
So over the course of 2 weeks, I spent every minute of every day documenting the restoration of my father’s replacement engine, as well as the chassis that would soon be surrounding the freshly restored drivetrain.
I’m having so much fun filming this type of content lately! It’s a gentle mix of mechanical work as well as carrying over the mindset associated with detailing into the generally neglected areas of these cars!
I hope you all enjoy this video, and maybe find a bit of motivation to take your time during your projects! With so many things on a checklist, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. But, with patience and motivation to reach the finish line, you’d be amazed at what you can accomplish.
As always, thank you so much for the support. I’ll see you guys again soon! 🖤
One love,
Aidan.

Aidan still underrated. Classy youtube is where this is.
Thank you so much man 🥺!!
I 100% agree just found that video and was blown away by the filming!!! Aidea needs to film really awesome builds of drift cars an such!!!
Hit the like button for the one time! Yoooo I need that track at the end. Whose it by @AidenTemplin
I love the fact that he does this all on jack stands and a creeper. Amazing talent and shows the younger gen that you don’t need a lift to get it done.
Ahh man thank you for saying this! I’ve wanted a lift forever, just like the rest of us, but working on the ground is what I’ve done my whole life so I’ll continue to do it until I’m in a position to upgrade to a lift!
@@AidanTemplin the other thing to consider is how much real estate a lift takes up... I had two lifts up in a relatively small shop and they completely took over the space. Sure you gain some vertical storage by being able to stack cars, but the lift columns do take up a surprising amount of space, even with a two-post clear-floor lift.
I would personally get a set of quick jacks or at least some backup. Stands are incredibly dangerous
Agree! This feels real to me
Do you have a mad little pad upstairs that you live in? The whole place just has this awesome comfortable vibe for some reason.
From one 6'4 king to another, this is art!
Know a real one when I see one 🫡
why does the height matter 😂
Pure art.
Proud of you for undertaking this wrenching marthon, on the ground no lift just getting it handled.
Working with what I’ve got man! Thank you so much for watching!!
We need a track list in these vids desperately. Shits too smooth to go without mention
I respect the amount of time it takes to get every shot. This video is very easy on the eyes. Keep it up dawg 🤙
I appreciate it so much bro, thank you!! Definitely takes so much work to document these things, buts finally starting to feel like second nature after doing it for so long
New definition to the “cleanest” motor swap on CZcams. So happy I subscribed 👌🏻
Nahhhhh definitely not the cleanest hahahaha but I appreciate that so much man!!
Aidan blessing us with this piece of art on a Saturday morning is the best!
I how you enjoyed bro!!
Watching a detailer do mechanical work the detailer’s way 🤤🤤🤤 blessed for this content
Your videos are my therapy, awesome content! Please share more often your content 🙌🏻
Thank you so much bro! 🤍
This video truly represents how the content you produce is out of this world. The combination of (i) the difficulty of the task you did (swap an entire engine, deep clean, full maintenance and much much more) and (ii) the stunning video you shot (clean, different, stylish, joyful) is absurd. Mind blowing. I congratulate you on having such a good taste, Aidan. Man, in some sense we believe you deserve a lot more subscribers but in another we feel lucky to be among the 66k fortunate viewers.
P.S: being the owner of a 320 coupe e46, what a ****ing badasss young timer is that unit your oldie drives: 330i, coupe, sunroof, harman-kardon speaker system, xenon lights, etc
Ahhh man thank you so much for the kids words!! I really do appreciate you watching thoroughly, I put everything I’ve got into these videos so it’s nice to see them get proper appreciation!
This is like M539 Restorations in a jazz club
Beautiful cinematography packed with all the dopamine hits... My adhd appreciates you my guy 🙏🏻
the quiet storm
I’m not even sure what this means but hell yeah 😭😭
The content, the tunes, the quality of the shots, perfection! It’s a mechanically therapeutic slow jam drive into blissful serenity. Superb my man!!
Thank you so much man!! I’m so glad you enjoyed!
The filming, setting up the lighting, actually doing mechanic work. After all is said and done you still have to compile all the hours of footage and edit it. Insane amount of work but wow it paid off. Earned my subscription
Thank you so much!! It’s definitely an astronomical amount of work, so I’m glad to see people acknowledging and enjoying the final product!
Only you can make something so stressful seem so peaceful. Awesome work dude!
One of the best channel on youtube, pure art, keep inspiring people bro, you make things look simple, thank you.👊
This find was very surprising and welcome. The presentation of this work is very artful and entertaining. Great job. Refreshing. Just excellent.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed!
That's the best swap I've watched in my life. I have an 04 330ci...rust free car, high mileage. I'll definitely swap my motor if I need to. Thank you for this video. Subscribed and liked💯
Work of art like always
Thank you so much man!! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Such a great video! Putting those parts in the cleaner and then walking away and returning to impeccably cleaned parts has to be the best feeling on the planet!!
It’s such an amazing feeling bro!! I use that washer any chance I get. Thank you for watching!
Taking the bumper off and removing the entire front assembly with the headlights still attached is much more efficient if you end up having to do this again. The bumper is attached with some 8mm screws to plastics underneath and in fender area and then two torx bolts. Once you remove the bumper remove the 6 nuts on the chassis arms and the two on either side. unplug the headlights, remove the indicators and remove the trims. the front will come right out! Super easy and makes reinstall much easier.
this dude doesn't miss
Love the asmr style & that intro was smooth
The work, music and son-father love💪. Good vibes 👌
