No obnoxious music, no unnecessary acting. Straight to the point and beautifully explained. Keep up the good work. I have subscribed to your channel. I hope other videos will have the same standards.👏
Just started my 2011 550i xdrive rebuild ... watching your videos helped ALOT ... love the detail you put into each step... gave me alot of confidence in doing the work myself. thank you!
Thank you! The whole reason I started posting these videos was to help others who are trying to do it. Good luck with the project and let us know how it turns out!
I used to work for a BMW dealer - I'm so glad I finished when these cars were just arriving. This modern stuff is terrifying and so fragile. Will you be replacing the valve stem seals and the turbo cooler pipes/unions? Good video - so nice to have no music.
Yes, I’ll be fully “restoring” the engine. Any brittle coolant hoses or problem areas, such as valve stem seals, will be replaced so that the car is running like new when it’s done
Good evening, I have seen your video, and I liked it, I have subscribed to the channel, I am waiting for the new video, see how the distribution is changed, greetings from Spain.
Brilliant detailed video. Loving the graphic overlay and fastening information. Really excellent 👍🏻 Also glad that you’ve avoided putting banging music over it 😉🙏
Hello and greetings from Kanab Utah. Your presentation is outstanding. Your attention to detail and the use of graphic overlay with description of the parts is very professional. Your channel is setting a very high standard. Congratulations! Respectfully, Utah Mike. 🤩👍
The amount of bolts and nuts, connections, cables, screws, plates, other stuff. Imagine how tedious one should be to correctly store this and then put on in reverse order. Otherwise be very familiar with the car and to know by heart all the screws. Almost rocket science. And that’s me being a software dev.
So is the engine has to come out for the timing chain replacement? I guess this is a good time to do all the other things like seals that are harder when the engine is in the car.
Exactly! The main issue is the timing chains that will be replaced, but at the same time I will be replacing valve seals and any other leaking hoses as it is much easier to work on when the engine is out of the car.
Yes! It can actually be done without even removing the oil pan. That’s the way I did my first one on an X6. However, I would highly recommend against doing it this way if you have the tools to drop the engine out. You spend more time fighting for space than actually working. You are also able to do a much better job and replace other components along the way when the whole engine comes out.
PS: I just stumbled across your channel and I love it so much...I think ading a narration would make this even better! You really made this look easy job, so KUDOS to you and we are looking forward to much more videos & more quality content...Cheers!
Nice en detailed video. I'm a big fan off the N63. Have one myself X5 50i 2011. Love it every minute. Good job reviving this iconic engine. Looking forward for more content. Good camera work en bolt types etc.
Very nice video, great camera work, editing and lighting. It's nice that a car has a huge engine bay, but once they stuff a huge engine in there, it get's cramped for mechanics. I felt your pain when you had to remove that coolant pump.
The amount of work needed to dismount engine!!. I am no car mechanic but need a good memory to know what goes where during reassembly. I am mostly a motorcycle mech and I take picture and write notes on every step I take. So when I reassemble i don't rely on my memory.
Amigo creador eso que usted hace se que es para desmontar el motor por abajo 👇… Pero mi pregunta 🙋♂️ es si lo puedo sacar por arriba ☝️ también quiero reconstruir uno en estos días y quiero hacerlo en casa 🏠 donde no cuento con todas las condiciones que tiene usted, solo cuento con una grua 🙏🙏🙏
Excellent video! I just bought a beautiful 2012 750li Individual. I think it has jumped timing and I plan to use your videos for a diy engine swap. I plan to take my time and just do little each day...may take me several months to complete but I only paid 2300 for it! I hear its actually easier to replace the engine rather than replacing the timing chain(s)....I shall see. Thank you for such a priceless tool!
Congrats, great buy! Yes, the engines are really cheap to buy if you are in the US, you can get an entire long block for about 5000$. When you add up all the parts you need, plus the work involved, a new engine is definitely worth it. Good luck with the project, it's a great car once they're working haha
@bimmer.doctor Thanks again! Maybe when I get a used engine, I'll go ahead and replace the timing chain and also upgrade a few other parts before I actually install it. Hopefully, I'll save myself a headache if I do it beforehand. Great channel, new subscriber!
@bimmer.doctor Welp, I decided to give it a go. I'm pulling the engine from the top using a hoist...do I still need to disconnect and lower the exhaust system?
This kind of content with graphic description of bolt & nut sizes & part description is what I like to watch. Instead of the others that describe their builds as always EPIC or always saying “check this out” or too much talking.
U should throw away that BMW engine putting the American 🇺🇸 LS in it. We do it all day long here in Russia 🇷🇺 also to add u can simply work on it from now on in ur driveway getting parts down the street at local part store. These cars are FreakN awesome with LS ENGINES --
Thank you for sharing this! I need to remove an engine from my 2016 X5. It's N63 engine, xdrive. I don't have a lift in my garage. Is it possible to remove it with a regular engine lift? The plan is to remove the front bumper and support, disassemble the transmission(I would prefer to keep it in place and support it with a stand), and use the engine lift to pull the engine.
Hi there, yes technically it is possible, but on the AWD N63 platform it is much more work to do it that way. But people have done it like that before so it is definitely possible. Good luck!
What was the weight capacity of your lift table… ready to drop my engine assembly, but a little concerned about the weight. Otherwise I’d have to do a pallet and a pallet jack, but would rather not bring that home from work!! Thanks again for the amazing videos & help!
The table can support 1,540lbs. You definitely need to have a good table to do this. Another thing is to make sure you add counter weights in the front seats, or put a jack in the rear of the car to prevent it from tipping over when you drop all that weight out the front! Good luck!
Nice and easy to follow video without all the fluff. Very nice. One suggestion, I believe that hood has a service position where you disconnect the strut supports and move to rear posts. Enjoyed watching.
This content is going to be a milestone for channel keep up Thank you for every detail and content Never give up we all support you 🦍🦍🦍 (strong as gorilla) 🦡🦡🦡 (freak as honey badger) 🧿🧿🧿 (it’s like a totem for protection for stupid’s in my country)

Sretren would be happy
He definitly aprove. 😁
@@Lordosvk Naaah! No torque values provided for the bolts
@@surenot1 only needed on reassembly!
100%
😂 was trying to figure out where did the "coooming up" go...
This channel is going to get very popular very quickly with details like this. Brilliant content.

This is how you build a successful car channel. 👍
Amazing. You probably need to do a video on your garage setup, too!
Very nice editting and very detailed steps. Great to see bolt/nut specs.
Keep these videos coming! Would love to see similar video on N52 F10 528i :)
Man, this is very high quality for a first video. Congrats, you've got my subscription right away. Will love to see many more.
more videos plz
most professional and detailed video I’ve ever seen on N63 engine removal ! thank you and can't wait for the other parts .
Reminds me alot of m539 restorations and that is top notch content! Keep going my friend!
no unnecessary acting. Straight to the point
Much respect to you from a new bmw mechanic

By the way - this video is so perfect we could teach a class here or the states on how to take out these Engines - awesome camera work
Very nice video!
Subscribed. You are amazing for posting this!!
what a careful, punctilious, and meticulous job,
Thanks for Sharing.
I have a similar car with the same engine, only with your video i was able to identify the car contents plz do keep it up
Good job bud!
From iraq . Bmw lover
Wow. A dream channel! Amazing detail and quality! Subbed! Bell rung!
Great stuff ,wow ,sad love no music no crap just do it
I want to know, how the hell you remember where to put back all those bolts 😢
Loving it. Thanks for the video.
Didn't know dme on these are watercooled
So is the engine has to come out for the timing chain replacement? I guess this is a good time to do all the other things like seals that are harder when the engine is in the car.

Green coolant = this will not end well.
You are really a Doctor.
Wow! Incredible to say the least. If this were a diy course, I'd be willing to buy these videos for hundreds of dollars. Beautiful work!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the rest of the videos. No charge for these, I just like to try and help people to fix their own stuff
Can timing chains be done without removing heads? By removing oil pans and lowering subframe for timing cover removal?
Yes! It can actually be done without even removing the oil pan. That’s the way I did my first one on an X6. However, I would highly recommend against doing it this way if you have the tools to drop the engine out. You spend more time fighting for space than actually working. You are also able to do a much better job and replace other components along the way when the whole engine comes out.
Great detailed video and nice editing, sound and light! Looking forward to an introduction of you and this project…hint hint hint 😬
PS: I just stumbled across your channel and I love it so much...I think ading a narration would make this even better! You really made this look easy job, so KUDOS to you and we are looking forward to much more videos & more quality content...Cheers!
This needs a collab with @m539restorations
Nice en detailed video. I'm a big fan off the N63. Have one myself X5 50i 2011. Love it every minute. Good job reviving this iconic engine. Looking forward for more content. Good camera work en bolt types etc.
26:27 Nice catch
Very clean work and super professional 👏
Nice work bro
Awesome video.
We all really appreciate all the time you invested in the editing
Watching this is very therapeutic. Great work!
I LOVE the way you mark bolts and tell us what type and how many..
I would include some narration to the videos. Otherwise it’s all perfect.
Amazing content. Where are you located?
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the rest of the series. I am from Montreal 🇨🇦
GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND , THE BEST OF THE BEST , KEEP IN THAT WAY , THIS IS BRILLIANT , I HOPE YOU MAKE A GOOD ONE ON 535 I N54 E92 2006-2012

Очень крутая работа и видеомонтаж, спасибо, жду продолжения
Bro you deserve every single subscription, you make me feel like I can pull this engine out all by myself .😅
You can do it!
Waiting for my drill’s battery to charge to go back outside and work on my Mercedes. Great way to pass the time
The best possible format for this kind of video. Subbed and looking forward to the next one!

Excellent video
Wow BMW makes great cars but makes almost impossible to do things like this one unless its a pro
One more Canadian subscription. Well done 👍
Dude nice thanks for the help your video is professional 👍
👍 perfect how to! you Sir, are a genius!
Great video, easy to follow and detailed. How long did this take for someone knowing what they are doing?
@M539 restorations
I’m speechless… the quality and details in this video is out of this world.
Thanks I’m planning on doing this to my 750li 2011 also
U should throw away that BMW engine putting the American 🇺🇸 LS in it. We do it all day long here in Russia 🇷🇺 also to add u can simply work on it from now on in ur driveway getting parts down the street at local part store.

What a great job I have BMWx6 V 8 can bad engine can fix for please
Thank you for not adding any music.
How much do you charge for a motor swap and where are you located? Keep up the good work with the channel?
Hats off. Not only lot of work but also filming, lighting, editing
That is a lot of work. Could this be done on quickjack stand?
What kind of scissor lift is that. Thats perfect for my garage
Wow great video
So therapeutic
And it’s only part 1
How much time did you actually cost? 1day? 3days?
Добавьте субтитры на русском 👌

Hi! Where can i buy nice tools as you have ?
The narration is epic!!
green coolant is a big no no in this motor!!!
Excellent!
Why the wrong coolant?
Exceptional video!
Wow,, hughe complex setup,, puting everything back would be nice to see.
Impressive work!
Good Job…great Video.
Nice and easy to follow video without all the fluff. Very nice. One suggestion, I believe that hood has a service position where you disconnect the strut supports and move to rear posts. Enjoyed watching.
I got a free 2010 GT 550i that does not run, I guess this is what I have to look forward too.
this is one ugly engine~
Great job! New subscriber from Montreal here!
I am also from Montreal! Glad you liked the video
Look at the color of the "lifetime" transmission fluid. Definitely time for replacement.
Nice and straight to the point! Loving this channel!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Please consider adding how long this took and if possible, the price. Again, nice!!
This content is going to be a milestone for channel keep up
Thank you for every detail and content
Never give up we all support you
🦍🦍🦍 (strong as gorilla) 🦡🦡🦡 (freak as honey badger) 🧿🧿🧿 (it’s like a totem for protection for stupid’s in my country)
Nice video, what lift do you have? what's your garage height?This is a nice set up
Very different set up then what’s in my 2006 E65
Super nice video! Why do you have 2 oil radiators (driver side and passenger side)?
Thank you!
I have a 2014 750 Li x M sport that has 2 DME will it still be all the same ??
Subbed. Brilliant. When part two?
