BMW e91 335d M57 Swap Walk Around

[@markm.544]

Beautiful build bro. Hurt my heart that “YOU” had to let it go. Make sure to show your wife these comments to let her know how special she is.

[@michaelsummerell8618]

Get married or keep the car. I would seriously have to think long and hard about that one.

[@martinkulik9466]

That wedding was an excuse for something else.. nobody who built that car plus swapping engines and gearbox would sell it to pay for wedding. Period. These diesel cars are failure prone especially us models with lower quality diesel so maybe he started to realize the servicing issues are piling up quickly PS: I have this engine and it's broken all the time (from vacuum control to engibe leaking oil to failing gearbox)

Dude, I just have to say that I love love love this build. So clean, so classy, so beastly ... I have an E91 328xi I bought on BaT last year (which is how I found this vid). Same color combo, but 6spd M-Sport N52 motor. Fantastic car, just wish it had more power and better mileage so you hit the nail on the head with this build!

[@bradtourt]

Thank you very much Adam! I drove the 328xi back from the New York area all the way to Georgia which is where I did the build at. It is a great highway cruiser but the power was definitely lacking. It did not want to get out of the way of itself! I just kept thinking in my head, "I can't wait till I do this swap!" This is truly an awesome commuter and road trip vehicle.

[@rsevn]

Can't wait to get an E91 soon. Looking for the right spec!

[@famousmidnight]

Absolutely beautiful and great engine.... Selling for a wedding lol sounds like you married the wrong chick.

I can always make another one! I have an x5 m57 now. Love it

As a 335d Touring owner in the UK, that’s done properly! You’d never tell it wasn’t a US model!

[@slodsl]

As a owner of a 335d I can honestly say this is one of my dream cars. The sedan is great but a wagon with an m57 would be so much cooler.

[@q2subzero]

this is the ultimate family car. it has tons of space, sporty and great gas mileage. dunno what you could replace it with. I wish I knew about these cars before buying and building my Subaru's.

[@Max-oi9es]

I just bought the 328i xDrive in mint condition with 1 previous owner. Just under 200,000 miles and this car still drives like new. Not 1 rip in the seats and the exterior is unbelievably preserved. Just a fun car to get around in with style.

[@bradtourt]

They are fun cars to drive! Even better with the diesel in it (;

[@sebbekartellen6493]

looks so good with white paint and beige interior. btw: i have a crazy 2018 f30 335d myself. i have just installed full alcantara + carbon fibre interior. very expensive but looks so good

[@bradtourt]

Nice, we didn't get the f30 335d in the states. Only 320d :(

[@arbr3]

Wow, truly an incredible build. I have a 335d sedan here in the states and it has always bummed me out that wagons don’t get as much love here as they do in Europe and other parts of the world. A 335d wagon like this one is the perfect car in my eyes. You did an amazing job with this, whoever bought it is one lucky owner.

[@bradtourt]

Thank you very much, my newest build is a 1 series with the same set up plus 2 more gears on the transmission 😃

Well I agree rwd is where it's at though for daily driving conditions would be nice to have it on when needed. There's the xdrive delete to disable awd when needed. Was that not an option ? As I imagine keeping the awd in in place would have been less costs. Asking as I might tackle on this engine swap. Cheers.

[@michaelsummerell8618]

I've just bought a 320d Touring, manual (I'm in the UK) which has been used as a family wagon. Have spent the last couple of weekends cleaning the interior from years worth of crud. Next stop is a service, and then a detail clean for the exterior, as it almost looks like some idiot used wire wool to clean the roof with. A paint correcting detail should sort the worst of it. Seriously dude, your car is inspirational. I love it's clean OEM+ look. What BMW wheels are on that thing, as I love the concave style? Hopefully mine might look that sweet some day...
