M539 restorations aka Sreten, and this channel? Best ones! Learning, explaining ypu got everything in these channels! Love it! Cant wait for more :D. Cheers from Croatia!
I'm in the process of selling my e36 and moving away from cars for awhile but I still enjoy watching your videos and seeing BMW content lol. Thanks for keeping it real and authentic.
@@mohis5664 definitely. I’ve had a BMW in my driveway for almost 10 years and wrenching has become a chore and I just don’t enjoy it the same way anymore. Thought maybe it was time to thin the herd and just take a step away for a bit.
Geepers! I’m exhausted just watching you! Fighting the steering column was like watching a WWE wrestling match! Well done. I admire you go the extra mile to clean properly! OCD is a good thing! The amount of leaves in the blower box was absolutely nuts!, well done Josh!, Cheers, G
I recently acquired a 94 525i with 201k miles for $2800 in surprisingly great condition! It's my first bmw and I love it, it drives great and everything works on it! Your videos have been great for learning how to work on these cars, cause no doubt one day I'll have to. I just watched your pt.2 of manual swapping your e34 touring video, "You couldn't pay me 100k to do this job again," then less than 2 years later he is back at it xD
Awesome video. I fantasise about manual swapping an E34 but the part availability here in Aus just makes it unfeasible. I'd love to see you do a similar blower motor area cleanout video on one of your E36s.
excellent excellent excellent. you definitely make it look easier than you say. curious; what was the total labor time for this pedalbox swap project? it looks like you did it in one afternoon. it's always good to know the labor times of these projects. are you keeping the battery upfront? that Bay wash was a huge upgrade. I guess you'll do that every time you do a pedalbox swap from now on (ha!)

He is the only domestic wildcat to have an E31 with quad mini jet turbines on his car... Gosha kerrrrr/meooowo!!!!!
No Need to remove steering.. No need to remove paddle box.. U remove the brake paddle, use the bolt from the manual car as that enables u to bolt the brake and clutch, and done
I thought you can add the clutch pedal to the auto pedal box by unsliding the bolt out and using the longer manual one with clutch. That might be rhd only though?
Fog light connector: Do you, per chance, know where I can find replacement connectors to the fog lights do a 1990 E34 525? I primarily need the ends to the wiring harness: black elbow shaped that fit the bulb.
The orange fuse and relay looking things on the left and right side under the engine bay you can see at 18:18 mine the plastic is all dry rotted and falling apart but i cant figure out what the actual part is i assume is like a fuse for the headlights or something idk if you have a part number for it id appreciate it
A mechanic drove my '95 m50 5 mt e34 into a wall and told me it should have have had a neutral safety switch. Is this a thing or was he making it up to not take responsibility?

Hello m8. I bought an M50B25TU from an e34 complete with loom and ecu and i want to put it in my facelift e30. Do you know where i can find info on making the loom more neat and with less wires? Thanks in advance. Greetings from Greece.
Should i swap any relay?? The starter sounds clicking but not cranking,i have a new battery and starter, have checked both with hot-wiring the starter and everything was spinning good. My relays are 2 green and one white. Any ideas???
Really clean basis for this build, but you're wasting time removing the entire pedal box, as it requires the removal of the steering column which is a tedious process. Unnecessary work. Simply add the clutch pedal and the longer manual pivot bolt, then cut the brake pedal to match a clutch pad. Also, if you're going to all this trouble, just swap in the '94-'95 steering column to take advantage of fitting the later e36 M-tech steering wheel (or pre-facelift e38/e39).

Im sure my silver e36 could use it soon!
@zfgearboxes ships to Australia
Man, the E39 is a walk in the park to manual swap compared to this. Props to you, this would drive me up the wall.
Hahaha I love the misery!
That interior is beautiful 💎
Wait till you see it in person😏
Car body look very nice bro. next to new..

This is coming along nice 👍
Thank you!
No Need to remove steering.. No need to remove paddle box.. U remove the brake paddle, use the bolt from the manual car as that enables u to bolt the brake and clutch, and done
Oh damn this way more work than e36 for the pedals
Oh yeah lol
Nice video man
Thank you man!
Hi I like to watch your videos. Question what relay is it or what type any numbers that you can provide so I can look for one
I thought you can add the clutch pedal to the auto pedal box by unsliding the bolt out and using the longer manual one with clutch. That might be rhd only though?
Supposedly thats only early pedal boxes ive heard, or then it doesn’t have return spring which i find important
Security bolts ,weld a nut to it and your off to the races
Was gonna say, you need your clutch switches
Great job bro keep it up
Thank you man!
@@m3nameisjosh464 your the realistic bro good videos and great job your doing look forward for the next episode
Fog light connector: Do you, per chance, know where I can find replacement connectors to the fog lights do a 1990 E34 525? I primarily need the ends to the wiring harness: black elbow shaped that fit the bulb.
Best bet would be to hope to find a set of pigtails on ebay
@@m3nameisjosh464 Yep, I am checking that route as well. Funny how it’s the little things that can be a PIA.

Its the airbag sensors, for a crash, unimportant
@@m3nameisjosh464 so i could remove them? Or just leave it be. Could it make them deploy if i messed with the wires?
@@garrettprosser7336 i dont think it could make them deploy but i dont know, do that at your own risk.
Hey bro, off topic, but regarding the e36, is it possible to winter drive it in Canada? Like if I rust proof the undercarriage will it be fine?
Really to sleep on yo
Rust proof wont stop the body from rotting

I have the exact same car and was thinking of selling it because of how expensive it would be to swap, what do you think?
Costs about 2k to swap to zf. If you like the car do it
Hello m8. I bought an M50B25TU from an e34 complete with loom and ecu and i want to put it in my facelift e30. Do you know where i can find info on making the loom more neat and with less wires? Thanks in advance. Greetings from Greece.
To my known there isn’t really any wires that can be taken out of an M50 loom. All are pretty essential
I am so sorry, i didn't mention, the loom is from an automatic car.
@@mariosnikolaou5212 e34s auto and manual use same harness. The transmission wiring/ computer is its own thing
Should i swap any relay?? The starter sounds clicking but not cranking,i have a new battery and starter, have checked both with hot-wiring the starter and everything was spinning good. My relays are 2 green and one white. Any ideas???
@@mariosnikolaou5212 engine ground to chassis? Very important otherwise no crank
Do you happen to know the internal diameter of the resiviour to clutch master hose?
Unfortunately not
I thought only the v8 cars have the starter relay.
Nope 6 cyls too

I heard of this method, thought about it, but didn’t even want to bother. Wanted to show the way of transferring whole box for video purposes
@@m3nameisjosh464, perhaps you can show the simpler option on the next manual swap?
Good going, Josh. Loving your content.
Hey do you live in Washington bro?
Illinois
is there a parts list at all
Unfortunately I never made one
