My Dad always used to say, "if you lose your wealth, you've lost nothing,, If you lose your health, you've lost something, But if you lose your reputation, you've lost everything!" Been watching your channel a while and always impressed with your honesty and openness. If I lived in California, I'd certainly trust you guys with my prized BMW.

Also absolutely no need to remove it dis a valve unless ur going to service it same with ICV

Shop looks so good 💪🏽

Thank you for posting this.

Weekly blogs are good.

OMG, where you guys been?

Sorry for asking, but my m3 e92, when i start it and go around, it doesnt go more than 2k rpm, like if something is blocking the engine. Do you know why?

What’s a job like this cost? Getting into another e30 soon

2 hours later i finally found this video and found the bolt 😅

Just did the job today first time, and for about 5 minutes was tryna loosin it and figured out I missed that bolt😂

Is there a specific tool to lock the flywheel so as to remove the crank bolt? M20 engine

Thanks for the video. Time to break my E12 head down for rebuild.

Those cylinders are out of spec. Maximum should be 84.04. This motor will experience blow-by and reduced power. Should have rebored to 84.5 and ran 20 thou pistons + rings.

Hey! Loved the vid about to do this with my '88 528e, what year/model exactly was yours? Sorry if i missed you say it haha. Dropped a sub will have to check after work if any updates came from this e28 :)

dope

What is the name of the product you are using? I looked for immoression blue, lube, pressure blue..no results...and getting ready to do a valve job. Thanks.

Oiling the back side of bearings is a no no and spraying copper gasket spray on to the block, pistons and bores is never a good idea. You could have easily sprayed the back side of the head gasket.

for the Front Swap do the fit for Z3?

This piston thing f ed me up after waiting 6 months for new ones they were to tall. Just bought a motor.

Such a helpful video, literally the only one I could find with the engine still in the car, you guys fucking rock ❤

YEAH I FREAKING WANT ONE NOW BAD

Hey mate, great video. Just bought a 1989 318i myself, and am looking at doing a 5 lug conversion with the e30 m3 front suspension. I'm really new to the e30 scene and I'm just wanting to see what parts I would need to be able to do it myself. I understand that the m3 parts are much more expensive, but I am trying to make the perfect e30 build. I have started to put together a list of everything that I'll be doing to the car if you were curious as to the direction that I'll be going with it. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1__3WcD3dpHuqjyOxfcZElMEz0Wti8M1qREliorb66F8/edit?usp=sharing Thanks, Aidan

Pretty ingenious approach!!! Thanks for sharing!

is it non vanos??

For anyone watching this...NEVER lube the back side of the bearing halves when installing them in the engine. You ONLY want to put assembly lube on the inner face of the bearings AFTER they are installed. Putting assembly lube on the back side of the bearings will vastly increase the chances of spinning a bearing.

Hi my brother i m a m30 owner 635csi from south Africa i swaped my engine with an m30 from e34 my problem is oil filter housing its not pumping oil i can see the difference on the gasket of the housing in short it doesn't pump oil

For sale?

Thanks a millon times , why didn't anyone else point that out 😅

I owned 7 5 series E28's over a period of 25 years, (a 520i 4x 528i's and 2x 535i M's) the first being only 8 months old when I bought it. All I can say is, if you think these cars are well designed, perform well and are reliable, you must have little to no experience of cars. They are horribly designed with suspension that nose-dives at the front, scrubs the tyres terribly at the back, thrashy agricultural engines with poorly designed camshaft oil feeds causing cam scratching on start-up and early failure. My cars were pampered and mollycoddled beyond belief their whole life but were so unreliable, They have incredibly vague worm-and- roller steering (Ford was already using Rack & Pinion in 1970). They use oil, they're too thirsty for a small engine, the cooling system leaks at the drop of a hat causing overheat and head-gasket problems, the front brakes are just too small and not up to the job causing early brake fading and pad wear, you're limited to lousy German tyres because of the stupid wheels, the early fuel injection (Kugelfischer) was a design disaster, causing irreversible flooding in cold weather and was FAR inferior to the Electronic British Triumph Petrol injection system. The ground clearance was hopeless considering how tall the car was, many a 5 series lost its sump to a speed hump. They wallow everywhere when cornering or braking. The gearboxes were weak and prone to popping out of gear, at around 50,000 miles, the "Dogleg" gearboxes in the M's was just a cumbersome and useless joke. The clutches in all 5's are undersized and failed early very commonly, and the automatic transmissions failed very commonly around 70.000 miles ! They are truly a car that was 20 years behind the Fords of the day and 30 years behind the Triumph 2000 and 2.5 Pi when they first appeared but they were bullied into market because of the European Market and the need to rebuild the German economy after the war. Do yourself a favour, drive behind a BMW E28 and watch the rear suspension geometry and damping, it's as hopeless today as it always was. Why ? Because Germans only knew how to build rear engined cars, that's why. There's a reason the E28 looks like an old NSU Prinz - that's all they knew, hence the heavy vague front with undersized running gear. BMW's are, and always were, a load of old German propaganda. Unfortunately, German fanboys don't know Scheisse from Scheinola. Having owned 7 E28's before I realised this was all Hype, I really can say with experience that they should have called them "The Ultimate Walking Machine" .

Did you ever end up doing the rears on the e28?

Good video and nice to see you back! A shorter format can work well and may be less troublesome on your end. Bite-size videos that focus on troubleshooting, maintenance and repairs are really helpful.

Hopefully gonna swap my 3.5 cam into my 3.2 engine..is it possible??they look the same but I expect more lift on the 3.5..also the 3.5 cam rod doesn't have the Allen ends,the 3.2 shafts did..guessing they knock out like the 3.2..yes I'll check piston valve clearance n pray that's OK just be a hotter cam install..

What did he spray at 6:28 ?

Just use heavier oil 30 weight minimum duh!

A fresh video about working on M30B35... the internet is healing again!

I collect heads from girls and bmw-s too. Also I need a job, blow and working too :D

Oh man i remember when i was trying to repace my by busted ccv on mine and could lift the mani had me stumped for hours...local mechanic didnt even know lol thanks for the vid bro

that was smart

Had to run mine as a daily for a year or so, after I got sick of constantly fixing my E60... the E60 was a 545i, manual with sport package, and low miles... something broke every time I looked at it. The Euro E28 525i broke once... and that was only because a chipmunk decided to hang out next to the belts, and promptly got chewed up by the alternator belt!

helo friend, Iam from Colombia south america, I see your videos..Iam assemble a head of 630 CS carburated model 77. i wish you can help me on torque zises...the calibration of yhe valves, an torque off the head...an otherwise if you have a video of the assembly of the same head you can redirect me on how to obtain...I really appreciate your help....thanks...

I recently did the rear 5 lug swap and also had the same brake issue you talked about. I ended up upgrading my brake master cylinder to the 5 or 7 series one, cant remember, but it didn't fix my issue. Deleted the ABS, still didn't fix my issue. Checked the calipers... they were on the wrong sides. The nipples were pointed downward which continually trapped air in the system and wouldn't come out regardless how many times I power bled the brakes. Swapped them to their appropriate sides and orientations and viola, no more spongey brakes that went to the floor. Love the new suspension on your build man, looks mean! Can't wait to my fronts.

should never put silicone on the top of the timing cover

Another good video. Thank you. I fund 1983 BMW 733i with smashed right front corner. The owner is asking 3000$ he said the frame need to adjust it's another 400$ he says. it's auto tranny need front right panel, hood and headlight to replace.

Articulate guy, easy to listen to.👍

Do you use original e30 break lines? Or the ones for the new calipers(e46)?

This is awesome

Nice, how much this work with parts?

it's a good video. Thank you guys.

If I messed up and didn't label the rocker arm shafts how do I determine which is which? There are two long and two short and I get what your saying in the video with the threaded ends out but as far as the head bolts if you spin the rod it gets confusing. I see in the parts list each has a different part number so that means all 4 are unique??
