E46 LS2 Swap

We demonstrate how our E46 LS swap kit can be installed from start to finish with a good, hard day's work. Three of our techs breeze through this from the engine being on a stand, to being in and running.
If you'd like to purchase one of our swap kits, please contact us for more information. Any questions with what you see here, please ask us in the comments.
Thanks for watching.

Makes me wanna re do my ls swap in my e46

[@rivermk]

PLEASE tell us what’s wrong with it

[@mci007]

I have a 2002 E46 M3 that I want to swap, I have an iron block LS3. It started life as a 6.0 liter LQ9 and now it’s got LS3 pistons and LS3 823 LS3 heads, do you have a kit yet to for the E46 M3?

[@coreysmith8290]

kits the same all around bro. nothing special about the M3. an E46 is an E46

[@jonathanfrangkysenjaya8975]

Hi im really interested in your ls swap kit for e46. However i have some questions. Do you use stock diff for this swap? Will gm ac compressor fit in e46 using your swap mounts? Do you keep bmw's ABS?

[@BrintechCustoms]

Hi we have a custom diff solution for this swap using a Nissan LSD. The GM AC compressor works with our mount and AC kit. The ABS system is retained. Contact us directly for more info: [e-mail]

[@mrtedco36]

Hello can a stock e36 BMW drive shaft be cut on and welded using the same bolt on adapter? By adding a solid pipe in between?

[@jackpalmer2549]

How much would it cost to get the whole thing professionally installed, all inclusive? If I just want to drive my stock E46 in and drive away with an LS, how much can I expect to pay?

[@jaygauthier6193]

Is there a different kit for left hand drive, and do you have a trans crossmember for a 4l80e?

[@KayB4607]

How do you guys get the speedo and Rev counter to work? Thinking of getting a kit imported from you guys but there’s a few things I need to think of first..does all factory heating and ac work aswell?

[@BrintechCustoms]

HI Kevin - we do have a solution for the tacho, temp and AC to all work OEM. We have a can bus module we have built for this. Send us an email if you like. [e-mail]

[@justinhynes2108]

Looks good, what pipes do you use and how much are they?

[@BrintechCustoms]

We make our own headers in house. If you are interested contact us on [e-mail]

[@stevev245]

What transmission are you bolting up

[@andersoncazier490]

I'm having a difficult time with the steering column and the headers. What did you guys do to be able to fit the steering column in?

[@BrintechCustoms]

we have a slim steering kit to assist with this. And we are RHD which makes it even harder with a starter motor there also.

[@traversw123]

Such a sleeper when it gets the full exhaust, looking forward to more updates. Next project should be n63 4.4tt into E46!

[@BrintechCustoms]

Yes a twin turbo 4.4 V8 would be awesome. I think space is going to make it a very tough build though. But lets see how things one day.....

[@alhuegayle7550]

Hi i tried contacting you threw your website but difficult to navigate around. Im interested in the kit and would like some options and pricing.

Hi Alhue - please email us for information - we dont have much on the website yet. [e-mail]

Hope y’all actually torqued down those header bolts instead of just hand tightening them with a small Allen wrench lol.

No welding required. Its a bolt in kit that uses the OEM holes.

I have heard of people bolting up the smg trans i have to an ls motor with a conversion plate, is this possible, i would obviously convert the smg trans to full manual and do away with the smg pump and assorted hardware, but seems like a good deal, stock trans and drive shaft bolt right up in the stock mounts, they say the stock E46 M3 trans can handle up to 500 to 600 hp with a different clutch and pressure plate.
