i just found you on RUclips!!! i did not know i liked BMWs till now. i have known about the M cars, but now i am digging the other models. trying to learn more, manual rear driver cars are always going to be fun
I just attach the trans and everything to the motor if it isn't dressed you can usually clear just fine I've had my motor in and out so many times in my 533 turbo build.
@@m3nameisjosh464 yeah either way is good I would do it the way you did noq that I have lifts before doing it by myself was just more convenient. With jacks stands and such.
It's funny how AC is just a "eh, whatever" kind of feature for you, whereas here in Arizona it's the only thing that matters. Like I don't care how fast a car is or how nice the paint is, once summer hits, all I care about is whether it blows sub-40ºF temps out the vents when it's 115ºF outside.
I actually deleted the AC on my car, rather drive with the windows open, feeling the breeze, hearing the nice engine note. Also , I absolutely hate how the AC center console looks.
Hi Josh, I wanted to let you know that I own a 1993 BMW E36 325i sedan, but I'm facing an issue with the windows. It appears that the windows have a tip switch feature, but unfortunately, they are not functioning properly. I'm unsure about how to fix this problem, and it seems that each window would cost around $600 to replace.
That trans seems like it's light as hell... I once had to drop a gearbox on my Audi quattro because I burned out a clutch, while we were 2 men to hold it, we thought that we'll be squished like no tomorrow. I personally thought that it was going to be pretty fine, a little heavy, but not that heavy that both of us could barely hold it. Lifting and lining it up was another challenge to figure out. Somehow we managed to lift it up on a transmission jack, then it went on smoothly eventually. 7hrs job, won't do that ever again on that exact car because at some point I will get rid of it, though I feel like I will regret that decision since A4 B7 Quattros are pretty hard to come in my area.... Now, thinking about that, I will hold on to it, do something about rust, that occurs at 365k km (227k miles) and age of 18 in Northern salty climates.
Hahah yeah man old bmw 5 speeds are fairly light transmissions. I can imagine a quattro trans being super heavy. We live and we learn what jobs we don’t want to do! Haha
Good work! I don't don't like how tight the trans tunnel on the e28 is. An M30 + trans was easier for me on my e34 to put back in compared to my e28 lol

Hey there! I've been watching your vids, and I've got a burning question about the M30B35 engine in the E34 535i. Does the fan always match the engine speed? My dad has had this car since I was like 6 (I'm 21 now!), and it's always been pretty loud. I mean, seriously, even when we're cruising on the highway, the engine noise is so loud that we can't even hear the music playing! It's getting kinda annoying, you know? So, I'm wondering if there's something going on with the fan or if it's just how this engine is designed. Any insights or tips you could share? Thanks a ton, dude! Keep up the awesome content! 🚗🎉
What you have is a clutch fan thats fully locked. Its only supposed to be loud like that when car is idling and getting warm. Otherwise when driving fan shouldn’t be clutched on and shouldn’t be spinning super fast/loud. I bet that car stays cold, new clutch fans work like trash, keep it!

It’s nice to see builds like this. Passion build. Not everything needs to be 1000 hp LS swap wide body. 🔥 as usual
Thank you bro!!!! I prefer oem plus builds!
Exactly. Very enjoyable.

Great work Josh with cleaning the engine and getting it in the car. Careful at 7:12. I had no maintenance needed on my E46 for many months now.
Sometimes the hoist gets away from ya🤣
Always enjoy watching you turn wrenches. Using it for motivation for my e34 project
Thanks man!!!
Great job, keep the projects coming. Thanks
Thanks, will do!
I cant wait to see ur work when u get one of those garages with the a lift..
Good to see im not the only one that uses my legs to jack when my hands are busy

Have been looking at those.

My guy, you need to get one of those HF xmission lifts. That said, you did make bolting that in look trivial.
Sometimes those bigger lifts make it more difficult lining it up haha
Yeahhhh buddy!!

Is it legal in the U.S. to work on a BMW while wearing a Mazda shirt? Here in Europe, that kind of thing will get you in big trouble with the law!
😳😳😳 I used to work there so now its my dirty clothes for BMW work
540i is expensive to to manual swap it, cluch and flywheel and the transmission is almost the same as what I paid for the 540i
