Core support and bumper is easy 10 minutes and you can pull the motor with ease

@3ricky13 4 года назад

1 1/4 inch open end wrench for fan clutch. if belts on bang it clock wise.

@jxx90s 3 года назад

Man man hehe you were lucky wearing glasses... why not just disconnect an AC hose outside at night when no one is watching 😋.

@joellowery 3 года назад

i've never done anything this large of a job so just curious why not drop the subframe? Perhaps not possible without lift . Just curious- Great work - thanks-

@6thGearGarage 3 года назад

You're 100% correct, dropping the subframe would be the ideal way to do a job like this. If I only had a lift.... someday!

@joshhayes3433 6 лет назад

As far as I know you don't need a special tool to get that fuel line off - I have an e39 540i with the same engine and was able to just push the black plastic piece down and it popped right off. Maybe there IS some special tool, but I didn't need it for mine.

@6thGearGarage 6 лет назад

You're absolutely right. I went back and looked closer at it later and realized no special tools were needed.

I know im randomly asking but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me

@Dillon Emery instablaster =)

@dillonemery364 3 года назад

@Atlas Stanley i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

@dillonemery364 3 года назад

@Atlas Stanley It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you saved my ass !

@martinnunez448 Год назад

Would it be easier to remove the whole front of the car?

@6thGearGarage Год назад

The top piece of the radiator support would still need to be drilled to cut the spot welds @ 11:45, but yeah then you could probably unbolt the rest of the front for more room.

@ericwelch361 4 года назад

Thanks for this video will help me with an ls swap soon

@xaviersoto3978 4 года назад

I have this car and it doesn't run. How much do you think restoration would be? anything helps thank you

@6thGearGarage 4 года назад

Do you know why it does not run?

@xaviersoto3978 4 года назад

@@6thGearGarage it seems like the starter. I put a newly charged battery in. It just doesn't start up

@6thGearGarage 4 года назад

Does it click or make any noise at the starter?

@xaviersoto3978 4 года назад

6th Gear Garage it doesn’t make any sounds

@jafarhon 7 лет назад

you guys are funny, lol lol when that AC line blew up :))))

@6thGearGarage 7 лет назад

Sucked at the time but looking back, we laugh our ass off. We left the yellow dye that sprayed on the garage door as a reminder of that day.

@susguy5 4 года назад

And rinsed it off with beer 🍻 🤣

@RivieraByBuick 6 лет назад

u need 30 minutes to disassemble the whole front...would be much easier that way. by the way 11:50 these are not spot weld points, these are metal clips, that cover is actually glued to the radiator support in 2 places, it comes off easy u didn` have to drill it.

@6thGearGarage 6 лет назад

RivieraByBuick thanks for the info. If I ever do this again it should be a lot easier👍

@RealDynamite 5 лет назад

Just disconnect the transmission.... engine comes right out....WIthout removing the AC components btw...

@yezr3965 3 года назад

nice video. thank you for explaining this

@patricwell8335 2 года назад

Hold on seriously. You telling me its POSSIBLE to remove the engine without dropping the subframe...i need INFO NOW please...im doing one right now

@6thGearGarage 2 года назад

Yeah, give the video a watch and learn from my mistakes, but it is possible!

@PacoHermosillo 6 лет назад

Hi, its possible to wap a a 1998 740il 5hp-30 into a 2000 740il 5hp-24? Just to drive around not worry about smog .. Thanks

@6thGearGarage 6 лет назад

I don't know from experience, but I'm betting the bell housings are not compatible. Also not sure the electronics are compatible. Then there's the physical length of the trans... if it's any shorter or longer, you're gonna need the matching driveshaft as well.

@mju1965 6 лет назад

Is it possible to drop the engine & transmission out the bottom of the car? Granted all the steering arms ,etc... would need to be cleared. But if the car could be raised on a lift while leaving the engine on the ground, that might be helpful.

@6thGearGarage 6 лет назад

Yes, I believe that is how BMW would do it- removing the entire engine/trans on the subframe through the bottom of the car while raising the rest of the car on a lift.

@TheKasperlkopf 7 лет назад

very good channel, great video. u guys seem to be some good ass buddy mechanics. id love to own this car with the diesel v8, but seeing u guys repairing stuff makes me think its actualy too much work. keep the videos up, very interesting! btw what are u guys going to do with all those rusted pipes?

@6thGearGarage 7 лет назад

Thanks! I've learned that the 7-Series are cheap used because they are more expensive to maintain. Which rusted pipes are you talking about, All the rusty fluid lines attached to the motor? Scrap pile unless someone wants them.

@TheKasperlkopf 7 лет назад

well its hard to tell what kind of pipe it is when i have no idea which goes where. i was just interested in how detailed u guys wanna renew/ restore/ repair. the car. cant wait for the engine disassembling video! (hope there will be one)

@6thGearGarage 7 лет назад

We're parting out the car due to it having a salvage title and starting to rust on most of the body panels. So there will never be a restore/repair video ion this one :D If I part the engine out instead of selling whole, I will definitely upload that video for you!

@TheKasperlkopf 7 лет назад

ahhh ok, seems like i overheard that. i wish u guys good luck with selling the parts. one more question: how would you value the over all condition of the car? because if i'm ever going to buy one i hope there will be better ones than yours :P the problem is that there are only 20 cars for sale in my whole tiny country and if the quality of the ones in my local area is bad i would have to check all 20 of those... at the moment it seems like a "sisyphos labor" as we call it to renew or even find a good car. (only 6 of the 20 available are diesels)

@6thGearGarage 7 лет назад

On a used BMW, especially one of this age, Maintenance records should be your biggest concern. Proof of cooling system and timing chain is very important. The suspension bushings wear out. Often the auto trans will start to malfunction when the cars get to this age. (This car had reverse issues.) Check for leaks behind the tail lights- there's a lot of electronics right behind them in the trunk. The rest of common problems are more noticeable: cupholders tend to break, pixels out on dash, broken glovebox, oil leaks on engine.

@kkkhoho5869 4 года назад

Could someone tell what should i do to my bmw 740il . it wont go reverse and lost power .. Do i need a new trans?

@6thGearGarage 4 года назад

Possibly, reverse problems are common with this transmission.

@sterlingwitherspoon5709 6 лет назад

How many days did it take Y’all?

@6thGearGarage 6 лет назад

It took about 6 hours

@LBgymrat 7 лет назад

How much could you get for an engine like that?

@LBgymrat 7 лет назад

I also bought this car for $300... doesn't run, I would like to sell it for parts instead of trying to get it to run.

@6thGearGarage 7 лет назад

I only saw them selling around here for $500 to $800. I'll make more parting it out.

@6thGearGarage 7 лет назад

Parting out is the way to go if the overall car isn't in great shape. I've made $3500 so far parting mine out. With a salvage/flood title, I would have been lucky to sell the car for $2k in the shape it was in, after I spent the time/$$ to get it running.
