This awesome, I’ve been looking for someone informative to do this swap. Super interested in what’s required for the 8hp swap. Have an E60 530D I want to do that swap on, anyway you could do a video on that or have a chat with me?
Hi Bradley. I’m a fan. Also follow your work at e70 forums. My question is did the later e70 like 2013 models ever got the 8hp transmissions? Also which year of the f15s diesel x5s got the 8hp? I have the e70 and would very much love the 8hp but I don’t have the time or expertise to convert mine really. Maybe ready for the f15 chassis. Thank you!
Should you put a lower final drive to take advantage of the first gear? My 6hp sits at 1500rpm at 60mph so I’m wondering if a lower final drive is key to getting the most from this…. Lmk
Yes, so I don't remember precisely what diff ratio came in the 335d's, but I know that there's another diff ratio that people swap the diff in & get even better mileage & performance.
question, do you have schematic of that rear plate you made for gearbox on driveshaft side? i have e92 335d and want to do the same but i see now front adapters you can get from PMC motorsport is not enough ?
There is a thread on the BMW diesel north America Facebook group. Other than that I have not, I sold that one a while ago. I will be installing an 8hp in my current e70 soon though. I will document it for RUclips.
@@bradtourt I'll have a look for it. Followed the 135 build. Had no idea you were in Michigan. I'd be really interested in seeing your e70 once you get it swapped. Good stuff 👍
This is awesome! I would be interested in doing this to my 2010 x5 35d if it’s economical or feasible. I like the 5mpg gain you mention on your e70 and average 26mpg on the dash on my x5 e70. So 31 mpg average would be great! I can do the mechanical labor and have a two post lift. Removal of a transmission is not a huge problem. Is there a kit available and install instructions. More information would be greatly appreciated!
Excellent work, as always, Master Tourt! Out there doing the Lord's work. Always excited to see what cool stuff you're doing.

Definitely thinking about this swap if my 6HP dies.
Thank you so much Bradley!
Awesome work bro!
Just saw Randall’s post on fb. Glad to see this trans in a 335d. It’s not practical for me, yet. But I’d like it someday!
Work for e92 335d m57n2 2007?
Amazing work!!
Can this Zf8hp75 work on E90 335i N55 ....!???
How's this swap going no new updates ?

Hello, only the 35i received the 8hp, the diesel e70 never got it. The f15 got the 8hp, 2014-2018.
Hey Brad
Awesome work.
Just letting you know TurboLamik has a North America distribution now in Chicago
Love the 135d
I did see that, I think CanTCU is the best option for a streetcar/daily driver though
How much for the swap?

What year 540d? most g series have 8hp51s, the only 8hp75s are the hybrid models
petrol g series have the 51 6 cylinder diesels have the 75
Hey, are you aware the juddering in 6th on 75? Have you encountered and if so was the solution?
I have not, I'd check transmission fluid.
question, do you have schematic of that rear plate you made for gearbox on driveshaft side? i have e92 335d and want to do the same but i see now front adapters you can get from PMC motorsport is not enough ?
I do not, but if you use a 8hp70 from an fxx, you can use the factory mount.
In total (including the price of a transmission), roughly how much money would the swap be?
With labor too?
Is it possible for pre lci E60 M57 with 6hp26?
Yes
Have you posted anything on your e70 I can check out somewhere?

@@mikeblocker5720 no problem at all, I'll post a video up when I get to it. It should be done before snow falls.
do bmw g30 540i have 8hp75
I think they gave a 45
Does the d have any valve seals issues when tuned?
No it doesn't
@@bradtourt any idea why I’m getting black smoke on startup?
@@jroe2425 bad fuel injector
NOoooooo. Thanks for your time.
@@bradtourtone more question, please. The injector is sticking? Or… thoughts?

Absolutely, the kit is $2700 for the e70. You will have to purchase the transmission, and transmission line. I supply the rest of the parts.
