God, i wish they had an Audi tutorial podcast like this that so easily and neatly explains and lays out the processes as you do brother. Thanks so much for your good work....
very cool swap idea. i remember watching a very old grainy video comparing an alpina e46, stock m3 e46 and a hartge h50 e46 which was essentially e39 M5 driveline swapped and the s62 def gave that car a ton of character lol.
I thought to myself I'm not gonna watch this. As I'm more interested in the s65 and e36 content instead. But I'm so glad I clicked on the video. So informative, I was hooked. I really liked how descriptive you were in the process. Perfect video in my opinion. Can't wait for the next one!
Exactly what i wanted to see. I hope you cover all the necessary step for this conversion, especially wiring, cluster, key programing and such. I am super stoked to see it !
Loving the content, Tyler!🤙 Saw you carefully pulling off the caps initially then the video speeds up and my heart dropped when one of the bolts fell into the timing cover area! 😱😅
bro what is u doing???? this is sick!!!!!!!!! i hope u dont run into heavy complications..... this is going to be sweet!!!! have u seen anybody do this before??? the power tho!!!!!!!!!
Its cool you can use the m5 driveshaft with e46 m3 trans and vice versa. Im swapping a e46 420g in my turbo s52 e39it. Used a m5 driveshaft, and m5 diff/axels. ( A.k.a. the 420g is mounted in the same location weather its a 6 cylinder or a v8. ) You should be able to change the 420 output flange to a e46 m3 one then use the e46 m3 drive shaft and rear assembly. If you need a e46 output flange for you trans I would trade you for your m5 output ( guibo to trans piece) the m5 driveshaft uses the bigger guibo.
@drewdavis239 Yes, that's been a part of my plan. We can trade output shafts, sure. M5 uses 105mm bolt spacing while M3 uses 96mm bolt spacing. Since we're working on opposing chassis, what a great commodity.
I know very about the BMW engine range but I watched this as I like stripping engines down.😀👍 So, what is the issue with excessive wear on the rod bearings in this unit?
@phils2180 The S62 is less prone to it when compared to other S series engines, yet some wear more quickly than others as they are hand built engines with varying tolerances.
So the Z8 Smit Oletha guys got smart and decided the boat anchor V8 is not the desired engine anyone wants, so now it has a lighter E46 that everyone wants. So you know my next question, why add dead weight that hurts handling, instead of building up the six internals. Seams really really counterintuitive.
@@tropicthndr Instead of attempting to slander my projects, you could start a YT channel of your own and show the world your idealization of what the perfect E46 is.
Never buy a spotless aged BMW engine, my friend! The dirtier, the better. Usually means people kept oil in it. Grimy oil messes are a good sign, typically 😁
