How to LS swap BMW E46 in 10 Minutes!

[@BreakTraction]

Sheeeeeshhhh

[@libyanboy94]

This is one of the bravest men I've seen, getting under the car while it's only being held up by 2 jack stands and the grace of god.

[@ygfromig]

that’s what jack stands are for

[@valettikonovalchuk9542]

Everybody does this

[@Star_Taro]

The pandem kit kinda compliments the body lines of the e46 when it's molded. Especially in the front. Good work dude! 👏 If it was an M3 I would've complained that you got rid of the beautiful S54 but I got nothing but props.

[@chrisalmaguer3681]

Car looks great I love my swapped e46 I drive it every day to and from work! Keep up the good work on your car it’s sick

@@Bossnerf22 either way you go it’s fun however when you pull up with an LS you get all the looks! Everyone knows your swapped lol

[@Dekevdr]

You think a swap would work with an AWD 2002 330xi??? I was thinking of doing this since it’s a lot cheaper then finding a low mileage motor

[@arjunmcneill4041]

Amazing work man! Especially working off the ground. Tons of Respect!

[@thatrussiankid5579]

Thanks man

[@kth3basshead177]

@@thatrussiankid5579 i've been researching for LS swap to E46 over the internet and thats how I found ur vids. I would really want to do what u did, problem in my country (Poland) is that LS engines are not that cheap... same for any parts for this engine so this makes ma wonder to go for this one or maybe some other V8 swap that is available in europe...

[@fxgfilms5673]

LOOKS SICK AND SOUNDS GOOD TOO👍🔥🔥

[@alexproductionsnocopyright]

thanks for using my music! Cool video!

[@dylanoliva9741]

love the car, how’d you manage the fuel system? plan on doing mine soon but debating doing a fuel cell or keep the stock tank

[@thatrussiankid5579]

I have stock fuel tank with bigger fuel pump. Stock fuel lines, supply and return going to stock c5 corvette fuel filter/regulator. From filter, 6 AN line to ls6 rail

[@Yui-xp2qq]

damn I dont have a car yet got licence tho but getting e46 with ls is my like dream build mby in future one day its kinda harder in EU with builds but i might get into drifting too so that would justify it

[@zxcvxcvify]

You look like a cool friend 👍🏼

[@daniel0alma]

What mufflers are you using? Very nice sound!

[@thatrussiankid5579]

Just 3 inch straight pipes to resonators to 3.5 inch tips

[@theo_4174]

Hey man, looking and sounding mint!! planning on LS swapping my e46, curious on how long it took you to do it by yourself?

[@thatrussiankid5579]

Like 4 months, on and off

[@777carlito]

i can put this motor on a 525i e6o body ?

[@nxrth5987]

You think a LS swap would work on a 2003 745LI? but btw AWESOME BUILD 👍

[@thatrussiankid5579]

Yes. You'll have to find a way to make you speedometer work or just use after market stuff, but LS will run off of 2 relays and 4 fuses. Lol

[@sottpexploit]

@@thatrussiankid5579 is that the same with the 46?

I am doing a LS L33 & 4l60e swap into a 2001 E46 - which intake tube did you use to run from the throttle body to your MAF with the BMW radiator?
