Anytime! Thank you!

@@chrisv6008 no bother at all. Which harnesses are you referring too? Like the plug and play kits you can buy? As far as I know n55 cars are the only ones that have slightly different wiring

@Sfdgarage thank you for getting back so quickly greatly appreciate it Yes the plug and play harness like yours but on the site it says only up to 2006 doesn't have an option for 2007 or later?

Mines a 2008 and worried the wiring will be different where I have to hook the pedal an canbus box etc?

@ nope 2008 is a perfect year to swap, all the lse90 info is based around that model. My 1 series is an 09 but 08-09 are just about the same

@@Sfdgarage sweet thank you so much

@@creightonsmith1836 thanks! Appreciate that a lot 👍🏻

@@coupelikeacaravan convertible top wouldn’t cause any issues, you may have an extra brace or two under the car that you’ll have to work around with the exhaust. Total cost was about 14k and that included buying the car. 13.5mpg beating the snot out of it everytime I drive it, 93 fuel. Weight isn’t much different than stock since it’s an aluminum block.

@Sfdgarage what did you pay for the car to get an idea of total cost for swap alone?

@@coupelikeacaravan $3000 but I also already had a T56 so that’s another 2k

@@Reason0684 definitely doable. Is it gonna be harder than with a lift? Oh yeah. But you can get it done on jack stands. I’d say 80% of the work is done from the front engine bay side anyway.

@@Galax2000 buying a used radio is always an option but you’ll likely end up with the same situation of a bad screen eventually. My style radio screen for $80 is much more affordable then a 3-400$ updated headunit. I’m also just more partial to stock or oem+ interiors.

By the way... Do you know if there is any way of adding Bluetooth playback to this radio? MIne works for phone calls only and for listening to music a have to use a separate adapter :(

@@Djambo57 yeah I wish they were slightly cheaper, you can shop around on that site and find them a bit cheaper. But overall sub 100$ for the replacement screen is still a win over the cheapest aftermarket radio options

@ I use a Bluetooth adaptor that plugs into the usb and six input under the center console probably like you are. As far as I know there’s is not a way to add the function directly into the radio

@@Sfdgarage most people just see that an aftermarket radio is like $30 but don't realize that that's the lowest of the low quality. I would much rather keep a good stock than a crap new unit. and many stock stereos are pre-tuned to the speakers so they'll sound like crap with new speakers (bose comes to mind) as long as you have an aux jack you could pair your phone via aux or bt anyways anyways so it doesn't matter

@ definitely, I use a bovee Bluetooth adaptor and it works great. No complaints

@@Stckit1 it’s gotta get connected to your cas module. On e90 and e82 it’s typically pin 41 on the CAS connector. But I bet it’s different on the 550. If you send me your vin I can look at the diagrams to try and point you in the right direction

@ I’ll send vin in a few hours when I get home. Do you remember the name of the wire coming out of pin 41? I have a list of connectors with the pin outs. It just gets spliced in or removed from CAS and brake wire gets swapped in

@ it’s labeled as Automatic Transmission going into the CAS module. On my car pin 41 ended up going from the CAS into the e box in the engine bay to the transmission connector. I cut it at the transmission connector in the e box and connected it directly to the brake signal wire that supply’s 12v’s when the brake is pressed.

@ ahh yes pin 41 on my connector says it goes to “transmission control”. It’s the “signal, parked position”. Sound familiar?

@@Stckit1 yup that should be the one. I believe it’s the signal saying the car is in park/neutral and it’s okay to start the engine

@@AngelR1987 if you’re running a Holley setup you’re gonna have to cut it to splice into the factory bmw pedal like in the video. For the throttle body side, they make adaptors to go from 6 pin to 8 pin. Check out psiperformance

@@Sfdgarage i have the 8 pin TB DBW, and the harness for the 8pin. I have been trying to make this work. I've been checking diagrams. I've been considering that maybe its my ls2 throttle body not being compatible. what are you using?

@@AngelR1987 I’m using a gold blade ls3 throttle body. It’s six pin already and didn’t need an adaptor or anything. I think it was in part 1

@@Sfdgarage I'll be getting that. I will keep you posted once mine is running

@@jeffkoch8612 they need to show up on video or in pics to look good? I don’t choose my car modifications based on how much clout it’ll get from randoms on social media. I don’t typically like black wheels either but I think they will work well on a red car. We’ll see.

@ They look like shit in person too. It’s like the mod a non car guy does ‘to stand out’ and the first mod undone when the car changes hands.. Welcome to reality

@@yusuf_45 yup that’s totally normal sound on the S63. Especially on a cold engine but they all make that noise your hearing

@ it was your own car ? I hear the normal sound of engine (that’s a little bit loud) but in he background I hear another sound like a knocking, specially after the cold start.

That’s how these engines sound. Completely normal

@@BigMvK I used a Chevy T56 transmission. But there are options for using the stock bmw transmission with this swap

@@maseningram1527 hey, the issue you’re gonna run into using a stand alone wiring harness that isn’t the Holley or maxxecu is there will not be any CAN bus integration with the vehicle. Lse90 can box can only communicate with a Holley setup to have the interior gauge cluster work. If you are okay with finding another way to monitor engine function inside the car, a stand along gm wiring harness will work just fine. But honestly I think the wiring would be easier if you used a Holley wiring harness/ecu because it’s been covered in depth and works with the bmw chassis perfect.

youre like an hour away from me lol

@@JakeJanzen-n5b definitely can

@ sweet, exhaust sounds perfect, not to loud and not to quiet

@@PartialRug 😂 not all autos are lame and they are definitely nice for dailying

@@GarrethStaveley I’m not sure of the question specifically but you can do all kinds of coding like coding a n55 chassis to a n54 chassis yeah

@@Sfdgarage okay so no need for NCS expert then?

@ so far protools has been able to do most things you would need ncs expert for

@@UpanovrOffroad thanks!

@@Stckit1 I’ve seen other people get them working when using maxxecu setup but you’d have to do a little more research on it to find out for sure

@@Reason0684 I’ve heard great things about the maxxecu. I’d love to try it out one day

@@Sfdgarage The only reason I'm going with the MaxxECU is that my car is a DCT and I would like to keep it that way instead of converting it to manual. If I was going manual, I would use the Holley like you.

@ the dct is such an awesome transmission. You should document your build too

@@floof3167 it’s a lot of trail and error but sometimes you just gotta go for it. It’s hard to go wrong with a v8 in anything though

@@michaelcoyle1062 check out the three part video series on my channel! It covers every step!

You don’t have to drain coolant completely, that’s why he clamped hoses and then he refilled it under vacuum

That’ll definitely do it 😬
