thank u so much mijo, i live in Australia and i work as a mechanic, tomorrow i’m gonna swap the exactly same engine in the same model car, this is really helpful for me. It’s gonna be my first german engine replacement. You got a new suscriptor, thank you again!!
Switching the E46 2.5 (factory motor) to the M54 3.0 is the greatest swap of all time. The maintenance is the same, it looks the same, fuel economy is almost same, but after all the work, you will be rewarded with an additional 40 brake horsepower!
I like the way you show the initial unedited starting of the engine where you showed everything, it showed the leak and showed the correction.
Damn you made that shit look super easy! What's with all these other dumb asses taking off the whole front of the car and removing a million things? That shit popped right out. No lift, in the street like the good ole days! Good work my man! Sucks for me, I got a manual so I need to drop the trans out to clear the input shaft. We'll see how this nightmare goes.
Good stuff! I got a swap tomorrow
If the motor wasn't blown I'd have been more worried bout manual swapping it
you are a mechanic man...i have bmw 2.5 e46 double vanos thinking to spawp with 3.0 but im consent
I did that back in the day with my 525i to a 530i , it was worth it.
Oh man you should've inspected the engine prior to installing it
True, I was trying to get it done as fast as possible, and the owner said he got the engine from a friend, so I assume it would be good.
Where did you get your engine from? Looking to a get a m54b30 for my 2001 325xi 5spd
German Korean and Japanese Auto Parts
Dope video man! Im planning on replacing the engine on my 330ci washout pulling the trans . How did you get to the the trans bolts without dropping anything??
Thanks, flex head gear wrench.
@@Jbonly21 really?? So some e-torx flex head wrenches will get to all the bell housing bolts?
Yeah for the most part, the hardest one is the one on the right side firewall. You break it loose with the torx socket, then use a ratcheting wrench with a flex head. I believe it’s a 10mm and 7/16 wrench fits into the torx bolts.
I have a guy swapping an engine on my 330xi, he is saying be didn't know it was awd and he wants to charge another $1,000 for labor to essentially unbolt 2 cv axles and exhaust from what I see. What do you think?
Haha, that’s his fault for not knowing before hand, maybe meet him halfway.
@JbP Garage That's what I'm thinking honestly. He did jave yo cut the exhaust because someone welded it so I think $500 extra is fair.
quick question after removing the starter, now you have access to the torque converter bolts?? 3 of them right i am in a similar situation where the headgasket blew and I am trying to do the job my self with out dropping the transmission. Any tips on getting to the top bellhousing bolts. i think i have a little more room since my car is a 525i.
BMW E46 15 MINUTES ENGINE SWAP!

You might find what you need in this video, yes you can now remove the bolts through the starter hole. Yes 3 bolts, I use a swivel head ratchet ranch for the top Bell housing bolts.
is any of the cooling stuff compatible with the 3.0?
They are pretty much the same.
I’m doing a similar swap so since I’m using a engine from a auto car I have to instal a pilot bearing so I can use it in my manual car?
Yeah!
Do you need to flash the ecm?
No, but you could if you wanted to.
I’m trying to swap a m54b30 into my 325i do I need to replace anything or is everything the same besides flashing to 3.0
Yeah pretty much, as long as it’s a m54 .
Hi I’m about to do a swap on my 330xi I’m trying to not have to take out the transmission like you did. What did you have to unbolt under the car? I saw you did the exhaust and axles. Did you have to unbolt the driveshaft or anything else?
You do not have to remove the driveshaft, just the exhaust, motor mounts, axle, and unmount front differential from the engine.
Thank you!! I really appreciate the help!!
I see you marking the flywheel bolt location. Im lost on doing that. when moving flywheel and that shield to the new engine. Are you marking the crank at dead center and lining up the flywheel
@@l82sk8 not really, you don’t have to be on TDC to line up flywheel wheel holes. Get one hole in sight, then use something like a hanger and try turning the torque converter tell they line up. The first one is always the hardest.
Hi running with ecu 2.5 ?
Yes, it running on the 2.5 ecu, you can code in the 3.0 if you want.
Was the swap worth it ? I know it’s a lot of work but is it that big of a difference?
Hard to say, it’s not my car and the car had a blown head gasket.
@@Jbonly21 ok thanks for the reply
@@chadriddle3517 no problem. If you can get a 3.0 for cheap and do the work yourself it is, but if you are going to pay someone to do it then no. You better off just selling yours and buying a 330.
@@Jbonly21 I agree yes I’ll work on my cars myself never take anything to the shop. And I’ll plan on getting a m54b30 From the junkyard
I have a question m54 2.5 use the same harness as the 3.0? Or did you have to swap ecu and harnesses
Yes everything is the same, except the DME.
@JbP Garage so is it plug and play or is there any wiring mod for the new Dme?
Plug and play.
Do you have to reprogram the key to the 3.0 dme or not?
@omar1990seattle no, it’s a plug and play swap.
Does the 3.0 engine has to come from a awd?
No, but if yours is a awd, you will have to swap over your oil pan. That’s the only difference.
