  • Hey guys we're back with this Defender 90! In this series we're showing you how we swap a 2.4 TDCI for a BMW X5 Engine!
    In today's episode we finally get this engine running!! Leon stayed late to get this vehicle to where it needs to be and we encounter yet more problems....

    What an amazing build, being the owner of this fantastic vehicle and seeing all the hard professional work which Sam and his team have put in, cannot recommend highly enough, i am sure i will be back for some more upgrades. Thanks guys :). Puts a smile on my face every time i get in and start her up :)

      Is it possible?

    A little surprised by the sound the BMW lump, but really happy how the team persevered with the build. Probably the best engine work you have done on the channel. Next up should be a BMW twin scroll six pot petrol conversion.

    You did a hell of a job to get this beast running! Very well done guys. Love basically all you did in this conversion except the exhaust system. Like you said it’s just to loud and making the vehicle scream like a crazy race car. Sound is not only volume. I would connect a conversion of a Defender like this with a deep growling, more calm sound underlining it’s power and not this screaming sound which disqualify the car to use it as a daily driver in my opinion. 😎👍

    Awesome, as you say, perfect engine for a swap…LS swap and you’ve got a brave pill to swallow when it comes to fuel consumption .
    Thanks for documenting it.
    Suspect the best way around getting the right engine would be to buy a complete donor car in the first place….that way it’d allow you to test the engine whilst in running gear…may save some labour efforts later on.

    I'm not sure if you're aware but in South Africa the Defender was available with a 2.8 litre petrol BMW engine straight from the factory in the late 1990s. You can identify them by a "2.8i" marking where you would otherwise see "TDi" or "V8". I've not driven one but apparently they are great and of course very rare now.

    Dimpling and grooving are not for cooling , it's for giving the gases from the pads braking somewhere to go so that the pads stay in contact with the discs.
    Vented discs are for cooling as it increases the surface area of the discs.
    It would've been so awesome if Landrover had installed these engines when BMW owned them.

    I've enjoyed every moment of this clip Sam. You guys have did a fantastic job- j enjoyed the trouble shooting most; having watched Project M57, I knew the fuel pump would be possible cause of the cranking problem.
    You however didn't specify the BMW engine you mounted- I'm assuming that it's the DM57 married to the 6speed LT gearbox right? I'm about to do the same with my 300TDI. Right after I find a buyer for my kidney 😁😁

    Why oh why do people always say 'LS Swop'? I mean why?
    Its not the best engine by any means and its a big old Yank gas guzzler. Passable if you want to shove a big SUV down a straight road but here in the UK? Sorry wrong. So very wrong.
    This was a brilliant engine swop and showed a deep understanding of both the Defender and the BMW engines because you chose the RIGHT BMW engine. Not every BMW engine is so good so people need to be careful. N47 and N57 anyone?
    So yes next time do an RR conversion with this engine but keep it classy, sublime and powerful to befit the car and a less noisy exhaust with no engine burps.
