Very impressive and well explained video. I liked and subscribed to see more.

@1BMWdrvr1 7 лет назад

You are a good kid and I'm sure you will be very successful in your new So. Cal. shop. Just an fyi, take a look at the "reddish" RU-vid videos about e46 repair and refurbishment. The complete sub frame repair and color matched powder coating of all under carriage parts, inc. bolts, lines, springs, shocks, etc... It cost about $25k but is an amazing result... Keep up the good work!

@Wrenchlife604 7 лет назад

love the e46 vids. seems like everywhere on youtuber everyones been going e36. can you make a vid comparing e36 vs e46 and pros/cons between both of em ?

@baddogortiz5490 6 лет назад

@Crozier25 6 лет назад

Hey. love your videos man. Do you know if you can swap a 5 speed to 6 speed quite easily? I’ve got a 5 speed manual 325ci and think a 6 speed would be a good upgrade.

@darioc.4414 7 лет назад

What about the clutch delay valve? Is it gonna stay or are you removing it? What's your opinion about CDV remove? Another great video, keep it going!

I do have a question about leaks under the car? I have a 2001 330xi with 245k miles leaking oil and drips of antifreeze in the front part of the car. The car runs good gut I sense that I should get to the source of the leaks before too long. Any recommendations?

@Level_Up_Nation 4 года назад

@davejackson7238 5 лет назад

Hi I am planning on doing this to a x5 3.0 td just wondering how you do the electric side as will it start as car will think am I in park or not cheers

@troywithrow8058 2 года назад

How do you deal I think it's a neutral safety switch that doesn't allow the car to start unless it's in park or neutral... We did the switch from auto to 5 speed manual on a 98" 328i convertable & this was something we overlooked... Thanks for any help you can offer & all your useful content...

@bosede-nage8467 5 лет назад

I am interested in doing a manual swap on a 2 series xdrive possibly taking parts from a 4 series - do you think this is viable?

@MikeConleysVids 6 лет назад

I am considering doing this swap on my 1999 323i. I have found a 5 speed manual transmission from an 1998 328i; I was wondering if you know if this would be compatible with my car.

@ICXC0 Год назад

Kinda wish y’all were still in LA :/ I’m considering swapping the transmission.

@michaelhite1433 3 года назад

This is a crazy question. How strong are the e46 325xi 5spds? Reason I’m asking is I’m doing a VWtdi swap in my Land Rover Disco 1 that currently has a ZF auto. I want to swap in a Manuel. I am looking at the 325xi trans because it has a t-case. I would delete the BMW t-case and use the Rover case. The BMW has the starter on the same side as the VW. My train of thought is that the outputs of the 2 ZF trans might be the same splines, over using a manual out of an American 4x4. I can get this trans for a $150.

@Lu-e 6 лет назад

Hey I got a question for everyone. So I have a 2001 bmw 330ci and I want to swap out the manual 5-speed transmission in it. My question is can I fit a e46 M3 6 speed manual tranny in the 330ci? I’m wondering if it is possible and what parts or kit I will need.

@resilyent8116 6 лет назад

does it matter which transmission you get to convert? for example, can you get a zf from a 325i to put in a 330i?

@ryguyfergie 6 лет назад

@phineparcon8909 5 лет назад

@jonathanpham7397 7 лет назад

Would the front part of the driveshaft out of an e46 m3 work for my 330 swap? I know it's a 6 speed but I only plan on going with the 5sp tranny. Please lmk. Btw this video was VERY helpful. Thanks!!!

I have a 330xd automatic. I rally like this car and have put a lot of time and money into it to make it feel like new again. Im thinking abot swapping the gearbox since the auto really doesnt give the engine justice. What gearbox can i use? And do i need anything special for the xi or can i ditch the xi and just make it rwd instead? Really doesnt matter as long as its manual..

@frankj1663 7 лет назад
