I’m taking the engine out rn I’ve done it twice now going on 3 and this video has helped me a lot just mentally because it’s hard to keep going when it’s just you.

Glad to hear I could help

[@scorps-hl8ue]

I'm not gonna bother pulling the engine outer mine...unless you have the time then fair enough...

[@chadriddle3517]

Nice job ! Looks like you done a thoroughly good job on re-installing everything.love the bmw content .

The 525i gearbox name ? ZF6hp19 or? ( the 218 hp 2006 one )

[@FeignBrzy]

hey I have a e60 528i and im trying to swap it with a 535i engine is that possible? And would I need different components for the 535i or would the 528i ones fit?

[@NogodbutAllahh]

How much would you charge to replace an engine on a 525i?

[@scorps-hl8ue]

Do you have to empty the gas out of the air conditioning

[@fivestardsm]

Yes, In his previous video of removing the engine, he makes a note of "evacuating" the refrigerant.

Job is looking good! Got a question, I got a 520i E61lci automatic. Is it possible to switch to a bigger engine?

[@Rurik_JustCruzn]

It's physically possible to put a larger engine in. However, this requires alot of modification to your existing accessory drive, wiring, and drivetrain. Wiring and plumbing a new engine is always the most difficult regardless of what engine you choose.

[@Hypershiftmediajake]

what the proceedure after the re-install? I'm having VANOS adaptiation stop codes and over advanced timing. I timed the engine correctly but the VANOS keeps making it go out of timing then back. Is there a specific reset in ISTA?

[@Rurik_JustCruzn]

I wish i could provide more info but It's been a very long time since I timed an m54. I would either check with a Bently service manual or try finding a video on specifically timing/vanos installation. I'm sure there are great resources on KZbin. Thanks for watching
