Great vid, I leave the trans in when I do these just remove the driver motor mount bracket it helps clear the steering rack, hang the AC and power steering to the side, (the service manual says to evacuate and unbolt lines for ac idk why?) Done. Lots of wiring and hoses to undo. I love it
After watching that it's put me off haha! I want to pull the motor out of my 07 bmw but oh my goodness bucket load of bolts screws and clips lol. But ive got plenty time on my hands
I have a 520i, that might need an engine swap soon. Just curious, if I change to an engine of a 523/525i, would I need to change anything else? (Computer related)?
In your case, it is likely easier to drop the subframe with engine/ transmission. I found it a little difficult to reinstall everything back in because the header kept getting stuck on the subframe. I assume it would have been even more difficult with the turbos.
@@Rurik_JustCruzn Thanks for your reply. That's exactly what I was afraid of. This is my daily driver, so I think I'll replace one thing at the time to keep the down time low. Also, I don't have a lifting table, and I guess using a two post lift to manuvre everything out and in again, may give me some trouble. Just found your channel. Will check out your other videos too. Big thumbs up.

After watching that it's put me off haha! I want to pull the motor out of my 07 bmw but oh my goodness bucket load of bolts screws and clips lol. But ive got plenty time on my hands
The process is slightly different on a 2007 model but should still be doable. I hope this helped. Thanks for watching.
Awesome Video, The transmission have to Go out?, you think is more Work keep the transmission on the Car?
I have a 520i, that might need an engine swap soon. Just curious, if I change to an engine of a 523/525i, would I need to change anything else? (Computer related)?
An engine swap will require numerous other things including but not limited to: engine mounts, accessory drive, wiring, computer, programming, etc.

do u have to reuse the old injector to avoid reprogramming injectors?
Reprogramming injectors is not a concern for vehicles with an m54
was it really that simple?
Thanks for infomations...
Is the parts interchangeable for a 2005 525i & 2007 530i ? Can I Used 07 Parts To Rebuild The 05?
Can we fit 525i engine in 530 I
How long did the complete removal take
6-8 hours filming. Without the camera I could probably do it in 4 to 5 hours.
What's your opinion on dropping the subframe, with engine and transmission connected, when replacing the transmission and turbos on a 535d?
In your case, it is likely easier to drop the subframe with engine/ transmission. I found it a little difficult to reinstall everything back in because the header kept getting stuck on the subframe. I assume it would have been even more difficult with the turbos.

It was about a 3 day job for a DIYer to remove and replace the engine
Where to hook chains?
Do u think a 4.8 v8 engine from a 2007 550i bmw fits in a 525i ????
It's the same chassis and engine bay, so it will definitely fit. The problem is changing everything over to support the new engine.
thanks!!
I gotta 06 530 motor would it fit in my 525?
As long as the engine is an m54b30. It should bolt up just fine. The only problem is that it will require a different tune.
So easy.....
