In this episode we fit and m54b30 from a 330 e46 bmw in an e36 bmw chassis..
I originally planned on doing a full step by step how to guide, but I lost my laptop with alot of the original footage on there. So I have put this together using the footage I still had saved on my phone which is not as detailed as I originally planned.
This guide shows the basics of fitting an m54b30 engine into an e36 using a hack engineering adapter loom.
If you have any questions or if I have missed anything then drop us a comment on here or message us on our Instagram @garag36_uk or GaragE36 on Facebook.

those shops are too busy doing work that's more straightforward (stock repairs) and they don't want their work space tied up for extended periods of time because they are unfamiliar with how this swap goes. Learning curves usually end up tying up their bays too long. Then they get backed up and their regular customers get upset.

We scavenged a rust pile of a 330i wagon. Looks like an E36 is what we want to use for a chassis. Easy to pass emissions for inspection on the older car. I just hope we can find a relatively cheap and low rust E36 in Finland. Let's see if that's even possible lol.

My e36 m3 sedan drift build’s engine just shat itself but I have an e85 z4 3.0 6 speed and I was thinking to just swap over the parts. Would it be worth it? as the z4 would either get cut up or the engine is going into something else anyway. I own a shop with my friends and I was planning on just using all the parts off the z4 I’d need but I’ve heard getting different m54s from different cars result in having to source other odds and ends to finish the swap and I’m wondering what I’d need to complete the swap into my e36 m3 using my e85 z4 3.0 6 speed (planning on fitting my transmission too, assuming it will fit with slight alterations)

@GaragE36uk 3 месяца назад

What did you end up doing fuel-wise? did you keep the e36 fuel filter? Or use an e46 fuel filter?

@GaragE36uk 3 месяца назад

You use the m54 filter as that has the pressure regulator there. Just run the feed to the fuel. The m54 doesn't have any return from the rail. The return is sorted via the pressure regulator on the filter. When you fit the m54 filter, you will see that you need to cut down the steal fuel return line to attach it to the return part of the filter. Hope that makes sense.

@@GaragE36uk can you manipulate the tune ? I know you can delete the post cat oxygen sensors, EWS and radiator outlet temp sensor among other things.

the swap is posible to do in a 325tds?

@GaragE36uk 10 месяцев назад

I would think so, probably need to petrol fuel tank and pump, I'd assume the diesel is different. Other than that tho it would be very similar.

@GaragE36uk Год назад

Hi Monika, yes this is a swap we do for customers. Budget for supply and fit is about £3500.

@GaragE36uk Год назад

What mounts you using? Oil pan hitting the subframe or Anti roll bar?

Hi, how did you connect the power steering hose? I mean the narrower one. Is it some oem hose?

@GaragE36uk Год назад

Yes, I used an oem hose. From memory this one we used standard e36 pump and standard lines and mounted the power steering bottle lower down. But we have also used m54 pumps and lines on others. Some need cutting and adding joiners.. If you have the m54 pipes with the extended cooler part that runs across the front of the radiator, you can trim them down, and they fit with the standard m54 pump and powersteering bottle in standard location.

@@GaragE36uk ok, thank you. I have the extended version. I will try with this.

@GaragE36uk Год назад

@@Abes125 it's very straightforward then. If you have any more questions just ask.
