In the process of doing mines right now. Motor had 250k. Lq9 out of an escalade. I took it all the way apart, cleaned everything. My first time and its going amazing. Can't wait
If it were me, I’d do a mild rebuild. Hone, piston rings, bearings, oil pump, timing, etc. If you are comfortable with BMW engines, a pushrod is easy peasy.
@@jake_spencebc it’s only really the American market that’s obsessed with v8s most European countries settle with v6 as they produce decent power and are easier to make
Jake I am seriously so excited for you on this. I am not an advocate of LS swapping an E9x but I totally understand the logic and appreciate it. Derek is The Man for LS as is LSE9X. I can see how happy this build started. Hope it stays this way. Its probably just me, but I would have found a lower mile LS for swapping but I am price vs reliability (I guess new things can break too, but its usually less common for newer to be less reliable than its predecessor version). However, if Derek said it's ok... it's probably ok to use. Great video work Jake!
Let’s go Spence gettin her done I’ve bought a ls1 for my old 325i 4 years ago and haven’t had the motivation to do anything then bought a 135i and that got in the way lol I’ve been wanting to do this for a while so this is great motivation for me
Damn, that sits in there too good Jake.. there’s only 2 pistons hanging over your shock strut, that’ll be balanced nicely in that chassis. I’m a beema purist and I’m not even mad.. The miles are quite high but I also just built a LS and I know how simple they really are… You’ll be fine, worse case scenario is you do all your fitting and testing, it goes boom, but everything is prepped to come back stronger with minimal downtime.. My bet is you’ll be fine though.. She fires straight up!!!’😂
Haha, that's what I was thinking too. If you're building one, you know the engine itself is one of the cheaper parts of this whole build. Like you said, if it grenades, I'll swap it out after all of the other hard work is done lol. I'm really looking forward to seeing how she goes!
Nothing wrong with a 200k+ mile engine. I mean, you guys are refreshing it anyway, and you were told not to mess with the bottom end. Gotta have faith and start somewhere.
Jake! Congratulations on the sponsorship! This is fu*Kin nasty man. I can’t wait to hear you fire her up. I think at this point I would feel alright about doing a swap with an engine that has that many miles on it. Wha have you got to loose. I’m gonna stay tuned and I hope it runs smoothly. ☮️
Thanks Eric! And that's what I'm thinking. At this point, the engine itself will be one of the cheaper parts of the swap... we can always upgrade it later after all of the hard swap work is complete. I'm gonna be so excited to see this thing on the road this year.
I'd do it... but the LS would be totally rebuilt first, and I wouldn't do it in a real 1M. But to be completely frank, I'm just waiting for my N54 to pop so I can swap in an S85
The miles don't really matter as long as the engine is healthy and you refresh the important bits. Not to mention, you can just pull another one for $500. They're cheap as heck, lol.
I would have probably left it out of the engine and just tinkered with it rebuilding it. then swapping it in after it was rebuilt. I don't think I could go thru all that work knowing it has like 10000 miles left just to take it back out haha.
I mean, it's an ls after all, and you guys are going to go through it a bit so ya I probably would swap a 300,000 mile ls in my bmw, haha. Especially if it made sense financially
It’s better to put 6l80 it’s better besides you can use the shifter too I highly recommend that, 4l80 always break and it can handle only 390 hp but 6l80 can handle 600 hp 🌚 just sayin
Awesome vid! It turned out really good!
Your face when you revved the LS was priceless 😆
Fellas, check out Derek’s channel!
@@jake_spence yea it was a bit more aggressive than i was expecting lol
@@jake_spence Title is click bait. You don’t know whether this engine has 300k, 3k or 30k miles. Also, too much advertisements. No content.
@@stellavouxinc945 did you watch the vid? We know the vehicle the engine came from lol
@@derekfelber743 yes but don’t know the history of that vehicle.

You la swapping a is? You keeping the dct? I have an is but haven’t blown it
Yet.
Haha, sounds like we've got similiar stories... I'd love to check your build out!
Glad we could help you guys out, build is going to be epic. 😎
Couldn’t do it without you guys! Your videos are gonna be on replay over here lol.
Very cool. Excited to see how this pans out!.....you are going to clean that motor nicely right? I mean I'm just asking...for a friend 🤣
Haha, yes of course. I can't wait to clean that ole girl up!
If it were me, I’d do a mild rebuild. Hone, piston rings, bearings, oil pump, timing, etc. If you are comfortable with BMW engines, a pushrod is easy peasy.
For sure! We'll see how she looks when we crack her open...
Congrats on the sponsorship Jake! Derek and your hard work is starting to pay off! Throughly deserved 👏
Thank you man! It feels good to have some consistent uploads happening and progress, even though it may be a bit slower than I'd like.
I can’t believe how well it fits in there, like it’s supposed to be there! Awesome video! Can’t wait to see more!!
Thanks Andrew! I can't believe it either... makes me wonder why BMW didn't offer a V8 in their 1M...
@@jake_spencebc it’s only really the American market that’s obsessed with v8s most European countries settle with v6 as they produce decent power and are easier to make
I was like dude stop with the torque rev, I was anxiously waiting for the engine stand bolt to snap and drop the motor glad it didn't happen tho
Haha, it was so tempting though!!
Definitely gonna be a fun build. Super excited to see the outcome!! 🙌🙌
Thanks, I'm excited to see too! Gonna be a totally new build for me.
I don't know wth is going on to this channel but that editing is hilarious, I love it 😂😂😂
Lmao, glad we can make you laugh at least!
Any updates on the builds? Hope everything is great on your way 🙏 It's one of my best yt channels and hope to see more car content in the future!
Nice work Jake!

4:15 with headphones is priceless 🤤🤤🤤
looks awesome I would love a v8 conversation but much lower miles on engine can't wait to see it finished
Agreed, if I had a bigger budget I'd get something nicer, but we're gonna start here and see where it takes us!
Excited for this project and excited to see this channel grow!❤
Thanks Motasam! I'm excited to see what happens as well, glad you're along for the ride.
Super keen on this build - feels like fresh E-series content, and we haven't had any for a while!
Agreed, been a while since I had a dedicated E-series build consistently on the channel. Feels good 😎😎
Love your videos.. but I’m pure BMW.. not an LS swap kinda guy. I’ll still watch ❤️
I was the same until now, gonna try something new to see if I like it or not! I appreciate you sticking around though 🙏
Stopped over with Derek to grab that harness and stuff. He told me you had a channel... cool stuff going on dude
Let’s go Spence gettin her done I’ve bought a ls1 for my old 325i 4 years ago and haven’t had the motivation to do anything then bought a 135i and that got in the way lol I’ve been wanting to do this for a while so this is great motivation for me
Heck yeah, hopefully this series motivates you to get going on the project! I'm super excited to get going on this one.
@@jake_spence😂😂 4:23 love that part
Stormy: best spokes-puppy ❤
She's the best 🐶
Love this! Good luck and it’s looking so good! Another banger video and keep up the good work!👍💪
Thanks Jeremy! It's going alright so far, we'll see how tough it gets when we try to get things all talking to each other lol.
YAY YAY YAY YAY!!!!! I KNEW IT 😮 it's a bout time someone did this, if I had the money i would've so thankyou Jake 😢
Haha, we'll see how it goes! Wish me luck 🙏
@@jake_spence all the best and good luck!
Rock N Roll Gentlemen!!
Gonna be making some jam soon!!
Fits like a glove
Slid right in there 😌
Love the 1 series, nice garage, nice editing. I'm also buying parts to do an ls swap on my e92 (5.3, turbo, 4l80e). Looking forward to seeing more.
I can’t wait to do it to my e46 m3 as well. Amazing build brother
Subscribed because I am about to purchase a 325 e46 wagon with 300k miles. Once the engine goes boom, I want to LS swap. Looking forward to the build
Bravooooo! This is getting good!
Things are heating up 😎

Yessir... you know what's up! Gonna be a fun project for sure.
Now you just need a terminator max and a turbo kit 🥴 and the adapter plate for a DCT ❤
Exactly!! I'm going to try to see if Holley will work with me to save some $$$ lol.

Oh boy here we go with LS swap... would be cooler if you went with 2JZ swap 😜
It'd be different, that's for sure! I've seen one 2JZ swap, it's nuts.
This is such epic content 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽!!
Jake I hope you see this where did you get the door cards with speakers ???? I wanted to order some but didn’t want to lose my speakers 😢
They're from Project Carbon, but they don't sell them anymore unfortunetly 😢
@@jake_spence 😢😢 thank you for responding I’ll have to make some 🤣
Spence does the 135i have a msd81? And if it does how much would you sell it for?
Yes it does, gimme an offer... shoot me a DM on Instagram!
What are you using for the ecu? I have a e90 roller so I’m super interested 😂
I'll likely be getting a Holley Terminator X Max, Mike @ LSE90 recommends them and sells PNP harnesses for them.
@@jake_spence I was thinking holly, I can’t wait dude! If it works out for you I’m deff interested in doing the same to my e90 roller 👀
Factor motor mounts *cough*cough, solid for this bish. Awesome man, refresh and it will last till you put big boost.
Haha, the guys who have swapped have had luck with factory motor mounts... but we'll see what I wanna do once we get to that point!
New episode let’s gooo🎉🎉🎉🎉
You're always in right away for every video!
@@jake_spence ofc bro! Keep up the good work😎🔥
I saw a 135i with a chevy v8 engine in Ca so much power for the e82 i wanna do this to mine too since my car is hitting 200xxx mls son
Gonna lse90 swap my 330i and will be using this kit. But I'm keeping ac !!! 11:36
Jake don't fall down the forget me hole.......hole...... hole.......
I like what I see 😎
El Es Juan lol
Yessir lol 💪
Jake man we miss you😢

But to be completely frank, I'm just waiting for my N54 to pop so I can swap in an S85
An S85?! That's gonna be awesome. So many different routes to go, love to see people doing things different though.
i've heard of a couple of those conversions, absolutely insane. Idk how I feel about it on a genuine 1m but it's your car, live it up

That’s what I like to hear 👍🏼 great minds think alike
@Jake Spence I just realized I said "make sense financially" and "bmw" in the same sentence. Those two things never go together lol.
Fantastic
Thanks 😁😁😁😁
What parts did you have to order?
Whats your, or was your HP on the LS
*Videos don’t buffer anymore* has Wi-Fi connected 😂😂
It’s better to put 6l80 it’s better besides you can use the shifter too I highly recommend that, 4l80 always break and it can handle only 390 hp but 6l80 can handle 600 hp 🌚 just sayin
I've seen the 4L80's hold a bunch of power, so I'm gonna go that route. Easier to find and connect as well.
What gearbox will be there? 8HP maybe? 😄
He said in the video 4l80
Everyone wants me to do a 8HP but a 4L80 will be easier lol
My biggest fear became a reality. Jake LS swapping a 135i 😢 JK!! Although I’m against LS and K swaps, I’ll still supporting your channel.
Alright 🎉🎉
My guy 🤝
verry good videjo!!!!!!!
Might has well of bought a roller instead of wasting the 11k mile car on a LS swap.
This was the price of a roller and I get to re-use/sell everything from it though 😉
Notification Gang 🙌
My dude, always hoppin' in right away 💪
"everything is super smooth on mint mobile" literally plays on wifi...
Go get some gen 5 Camaro headers they will fit trust me ask me how i know.
send me that n54!!

Finally something different…n54 content gets real boring…that’s all you talk on this channel; how about something more practical like the n52, etc
For a guy that lives from making youtube you aint working much 🤔
U never finish anything bro
N54 and N52s suck they are trash i know people have stiffies for them but good lord they suck. I dont see how that bmw has 11K miles
To each his iwn, but man i dint like american cars and im anerican
