What a mouthful of a video. Between the naming of the modules, systems, and connectors that was a 20 minute bowl full of Alphabet Soup. I've got some paddles from Evolve making their way over from the UK for mine, which should fit onto the NRW paddle adapters. Not entirely happy with the skeletonized look of the NRW ones I currently have. Reason I mention this is I think you'd probably enjoy the improvement you get on the FEEL of the switches: clickier and more satisfying.
Thats exactly why i like my current ones. They are more clicky than stock and even more clicky than M paddles. Which is strange cos i think they are from a X1. Let us know when you get the evolve paddles and what you think of them.

Looks like a fun project. what's the best way to re wire DCT harness on to 09 n54 car. Harness I have is for N55 DCT and original 6AT. I assume keeping the 6at harness an re wiring it Is a better way forward. Are there any Diagrams on how to approach it? thanks
For DSC Pump and Speed Yaw Sensor; I believe in Part 1 of this series at one point you said the change over is 09/2008 and then said its 09/2009 Could you clarify ? Probably doesn't matter my Production date is 02/2008 I believe also do you have a Part Number for the Speed / Yaw sensor under passenger seat Thanks I just bought a DCT from a M3 and looking forward to falling this series for the install
9th 2008 is the date for the change over. The part numbers to use are below for both the pump and the sensor. This is what i have from my notes. Basically if your car is later that the date you dont need to update these parts..... I hope that makes sense. DSC Pump (34 51 6 789 308 or 34 51 6 863 356 ) - if you have 2008/09 just skip this part DSC Sensor (34 52 6 780 334 or 34 52 6 850 375 ) - if you have 2008/09 just skip this part
Great video, I have a problem with my Hall effect sensor with sporadic temperature till 200 degres so defect 5A54 on memorized, I am wondering if I can check this sensor by connectors X6031 or X6021? before change it. Thanks
the 6 and 8 bolt reference is to the crank on the N54. So if you are changing flywheel it makes no diff. This one is a 6 bolt donor which i fitted to my 8 bolt crank, but needed a new flywheel.
Hey when you actually get into wiring can you show it step by step? I'm currently tackling a dct swap at the moment and am having trouble with the wiring.
Hey Tommy, the wiring took me a good few hours to get my head around looking at the wiring diagrams the guys have made for the swap and then tracing everything back through the ISTA diagrams. Have you gotten to the point where you understand what each wire is doing yet? If not how far along the swap are you?
@@ZeroTo60Tube I think I've finally got the wiring mostly correct, the modules are communicating with each other so that's good. My car is an august 07 build so I've had to swap and update a lot of modules so I think my problem is more coding. I'm having dsc issues at the moment and I'm trying to figure out if its a wiring issue or if the dsc unit is bad.
I have a E93 DCT which I planning to put on my E92 AT, Considering all parts are on the E93, do I still need to do the wiring? Thank you for your help!
Been looking forward to this :) Going to be interesting to see the difference between the auto and DCT! Been waiting for you to do this so I can see how hard it is to service the DCT in my N54 😅 got a quote for £700 😳 the actual service looks easy, it's just setting the right oil level in software that I'm not sure on!
Another very informative video Andrew. I didn't realise there was so much involved from the wiring point of view in the installation of a DCT. When you say that you are going to install the diff out of the e93, what are you going to do LSD wise? Are you going to swap it out from your e92 diff or get another LSD? You will certainly need one.
I will try and get my hands on an lsd, but I won’t be able to use my old one. I’ll need to buy a new gear set. However I kinda wanna wait and see what comes up.
Are you still using the green and purple looking connector? I’m getting ready to install my Dct and wax going to run the harness through the factory rubber square boot buy noticed wires coming from the green and purple plug that connector to the factory auto Tran blue or black plug.
Hey John, it was so long a go I can’t remember what’s even in the video. Generally I will cover how to do everything in the video or provide links if external sources are needed. That said depending on your car the wiring may be different to this specific one.
Mine is an 08 and should be the same, or relatively close. You don’t recall if you use the green or purple connector that goes in the DME box, the one that you showed in this video when showing which connectors you need for the transmission harness?
The SHIFT PADDLES of 6AT wouldn't work as I just done swap my 6AT direct to M-DCT, you will need to change it to LCI shift paddle or M3 paddles (my setup). For the rear differential I believe I am using a 3.08 currently because the rear section is from another donor vehicle but it is working perfectly, just for your referencing. I would love to see your setup of 2.56 and expecting how difference with mine that will be
@@ZeroTo60Tube No xhp flashed, but my friend told me he is using M3 software when coding on the gearbox like cheating to the vehicle it is a M3 car, will let you know later when I reach him and get more details
I know this video is old and it's a long shot, but did you by chance reuse the automatic transmission cooler? All of the writeups I've seen don't seem to mention anything about it so my guess is that it's reused, but I don't want a surprise while the car is down.

Hey man, I’m doing a dct swap on a early build 2007 and the dct transmission harness, the connectors like x6031, x6021.

Really need your help. I went from a dct to a manual 335is. Ik getting canbus errors. What do i need to do to get it right. Can you please help me with the two diagrams
My car was made in October 2008 it came with the DCT and it's an N54 335i, I seem to have a problem with the JBE because my door lock actuators, cooling in AC, wipers and fuel gauge are not working but the fuses are fine, can I use one from AT 335i ? The only code I get is the DTC button pressed code but it does nothing when I press it.
To be honest i would try and get one that is the same part number as your current one. I know the early JBE modules do connect differently. But that said you could get one from a A^T 335i as long as its the same part number.
I’m considering a DCT swap for my N54 335i. I have RB2s at 525hp/550tq. The DCT is from a 335is. Do you think I will gain any time on a 0-60 with this mod?

@@scarface16134 no no, i didnt replace any wiring. But i remember repinning 2 wires in one of the connectors.From memory it was the shift signal i think?
@@scarface16134 I dont have the car with me at the moment (its back at the panel shop for a while). But if you are stuck, you need to slow down and take your time to understand how the trans is communicating with the car. I reckon it took me about 5-8 hours of looking at the wiring diagrams to understand it. Also go through the spooolstreet thread in the description again. All the info is 100% there between spoolstreet and this series. Dont even try to touch the car until you understand what you are changing in the wiring harness.
Hey, I have a 2011 335is and it is my understanding that the oil pan may crack when either removing or torquing it back on. I have been preparing myself to purchase the billet pan.
I'll be honest i havent done enough grip track driving for the diff to really matter. Well enough to get a feeling for the difference between types of LSDs.
@@FirstLast-tx3yj There are a few controllers out there. The HTG one seems most popular and the Maxxecu solution seems the most refined, but you need the Maxxxecu to run the engine and box together.
Fucking legends i have a 6at running 25psi on pure 600s and I keep burning autos up. 3-4 clutch 2-1 clunks all the issues I hope to get a dct fitted like this so I can finally have usable power
Unfortunately not, the gear will be welded to the centre on the DCT cars diff, so in order to upgrade i will need to get new diff gears and bolt the new gears to a LSD centre. Probably going to be quite expensive.
@@ZeroTo60Tube I’ve just installed an mfactory clutch plate lsd in my 130i and the change was really impressive. I think every bmw should have an lsd. Btw, if you’re planning to sell the mfactory lsd core let me know!
Faily difficult with an xdrive. You would need to adapt the DCT to a transfer case. I dont think there are off the shelf conversions for that. If i owned that car, i would go 8hp70. You can get the bolt in parts to make it work and it will be strong and faster than a DCT.
@@ZeroTo60Tube I am from WA mate, I am out looking to buy 335i E92 after owning E60. I am mechanically and electrically sounded and use ISTA+. There are 2 cars which I like, there is a 98K on clock 2008 E92 Stage 2 with some mods and then there is a 2006 E92 Stage 2 with 200K on clock with all known 335i known faulty parts and turbo’s replaced with 17T. So which one you would prefer? I am so confused.
You would be able to, but i think you would need an aftermarket DCT controller. There is no DME software for the N52 with DCT so doing it as a factory install wont work. But with the HTG controller definitely possible.

It’s worth watching the entire series, also read the spoolstreet thread a few times before doing anything.
Really need your help. I went from a dct to a manual 335is. Ik getting canbus errors. What do i need to do to get it right. Can you please help me with the two diagrams
I can’t directly help. Sorry just too short of time. Canbus can be nightmare to diagnose.
Would it be the same process for LH cars from the United States?
Basically, yes
Oh man this is gonna be good, as if swapping transmissions wasn’t already time intensive enough 😂
How did you code it in to the car?
Wow you've really done your research mate, did you even breathe while you reeled that off? 😂
Hahaha, i think so. There was a lot of concentration going on try to get that all right....
My car was made in October 2008 it came with the DCT and it's an N54 335i, I seem to have a problem with the JBE because my door lock actuators, cooling in AC, wipers and fuel gauge are not working but the fuses are fine, can I use one from AT 335i ? The only code I get is the DTC button pressed code but it does nothing when I press it.
To be honest i would try and get one that is the same part number as your current one. I know the early JBE modules do connect differently. But that said you could get one from a A^T 335i as long as its the same part number.
@@ZeroTo60Tube okay thanks
do u plan to upgrade the clutch while its out?
e91 with n55 and dct would be my setup, I just dont know if its possible.
Definitely possible. I would also love a e91 N54 DCT, but i am kinda bias to the madness that is an N54.
There is a e91 335i with a n55 from a m2 but manual in the U.K.
Can you do this swap if you have an xDrive E90?
No. The dct will not mount to a transfer case
I’m considering a DCT swap for my N54 335i. I have RB2s at 525hp/550tq. The DCT is from a 335is. Do you think I will gain any time on a 0-60 with this mod?
Does 3 series comes with DCT? I’m about to get 2012 E92 335i soon after drove 328i for years now it’s broken down
Yes, they were optional on 2008 onwards 335i or m3 models.
would i be able to put this on my xDrive (AWD) no problem ?
Its possible, but not easy. Definitely not bolt in.
Can this be done the same with e60 535?
Put upgraded clutches , if you want to hold some serious power!!👍
I'm losing my mind lol I cant find the the wiring for the female blue X6021 connector I have a harness from the DME to the DKG but its the blue connector that goes from the X6021 to the JBBE that I'm lost at
Ohhhh man, I can remember what I repinned now. Is your car the same as mine? Do you have my modified wiring diagram from Facebook,
@Zero To 60 mone is a 2010 335i I think you probably moved the blue connecto from the jbbe to the dme box over from the spare is thay right?
@@scarface16134 no no, i didnt replace any wiring. But i remember repinning 2 wires in one of the connectors.From memory it was the shift signal i think?
Maybe send a brother some pics of the blue connector in the dme box?
@@scarface16134 I dont have the car with me at the moment (its back at the panel shop for a while). But if you are stuck, you need to slow down and take your time to understand how the trans is communicating with the car. I reckon it took me about 5-8 hours of looking at the wiring diagrams to understand it. Also go through the spooolstreet thread in the description again. All the info is 100% there between spoolstreet and this series. Dont even try to touch the car until you understand what you are changing in the wiring harness.
Hey, I have a 2011 335is and it is my understanding that the oil pan may crack when either removing or torquing it back on. I have been preparing myself to purchase the billet pan.
I have the 335ia is the same as your trans? I have 7 speed dct I live in Mexico
all the n54 DCT models are the same hardware, however some did have different tunes from the factory.
You need to make this harness for me! 🥺
I have e93 335i n54 45k miles. Brand new car. But it’s auto :( thinking about DCT or manual … what LSD you guys can recommend??
I'll be honest i havent done enough grip track driving for the diff to really matter. Well enough to get a feeling for the difference between types of LSDs.
Can i install the 35i N54 dct to an 35i N54 e90 lci (shifter) ?
You need the dct shifter. Any e series dct shifter.
I was so afraid you were going to smack your head on the lift 😂
I have plenty of times haha. Bloody thing.
@@ZeroTo60Tube do you know of a way to make the dct transmission standalone in order to use it with pther engines??
@@FirstLast-tx3yj There are a few controllers out there. The HTG one seems most popular and the Maxxecu solution seems the most refined, but you need the Maxxxecu to run the engine and box together.
@@ZeroTo60Tube is it possible to use stock tcu and xHP flash it??
Fucking legends i have a 6at running 25psi on pure 600s and I keep burning autos up. 3-4 clutch 2-1 clunks all the issues I hope to get a dct fitted like this so I can finally have usable power
Ooooh not a fan of aftermarket trans filters, I am a fan of aftermarket Viton DCT gaskets though.
So is it exactly the same transmission m4 has?
Not exactly. The m4 has different gearing. The mechatronics is wired differently.
Does that diff accepts the lsd from the other diff?
Unfortunately not, the gear will be welded to the centre on the DCT cars diff, so in order to upgrade i will need to get new diff gears and bolt the new gears to a LSD centre. Probably going to be quite expensive.
@@ZeroTo60Tube maybe brintech does the job, or difflab, cut the crown gear and machined ir to be bolted to a lsd centre?
@@ZeroTo60Tube I’ve just installed an mfactory clutch plate lsd in my 130i and the change was really impressive. I think every bmw should have an lsd. Btw, if you’re planning to sell the mfactory lsd core let me know!
Anyone know how I can turn off abs light on my N54? I broke the passenger side abs wire, replaced it but now I have a light on on my dashboard.
I have a 2011 335i n55 Xdrive. How could I swap a 335is dct into my car?
Faily difficult with an xdrive. You would need to adapt the DCT to a transfer case. I dont think there are off the shelf conversions for that. If i owned that car, i would go 8hp70. You can get the bolt in parts to make it work and it will be strong and faster than a DCT.
@@ZeroTo60Tube This transmission bolts up to a 2011 335i n55 with xdrive E90?
Which state in AU from mate?
Qld
@@ZeroTo60Tube I am from WA mate, I am out looking to buy 335i E92 after owning E60. I am mechanically and electrically sounded and use ISTA+. There are 2 cars which I like, there is a 98K on clock 2008 E92 Stage 2 with some mods and then there is a 2006 E92 Stage 2 with 200K on clock with all known 335i known faulty parts and turbo’s replaced with 17T. So which one you would prefer? I am so confused.
Can I put a DCT on my N52?
You would be able to, but i think you would need an aftermarket DCT controller. There is no DME software for the N52 with DCT so doing it as a factory install wont work. But with the HTG controller definitely possible.
How much this gonna run someone
If you have any questions I have answers.
I can vouche for Terry. My e90 dct swap has been amazing.
Many questions.... haha did you keep playing with setups on how to launch the DCTs from a dig?
Can’t get it out of my head that he sounds like the pelican from finding Nemo
At least you know what my real job is now.
FIRST
Nothing beats a manual car
Can you swap this into a 135i N54?
