Installing the Engine Into the E36

After a bunch of work to the M52 (which I guess is now like a hybrid S50 with the cams) I finally got it installed back into the E36 along with the ZF 5 speed. While installing the engine I also installed the transmission and dropped it all in in one shot. Compared to how this engine looked when I removed it it's looking much cleaner. In addition, all the leaks have been addressed and the lubrication system has been upgraded with a baffle, pickup tube, and safety wired oil pump nut.
While installing the engine I also installed the upgraded Revshift 95A durometer engine mounts and transmission mounts. All in all, major progress was made in getting the E36 back on the road and better than it was before. Really starting to get excited to see how this car performs and drives now.

I can’t agree more with above commenter. This is the first of the series I’ve seen but is very detailed and helpful for those of us doing it for the first time. Thank you :)

This series of videos is one of the best online resources if you are going to do a rebuild such as this, so thanks for showing and sharing Gareth. Looking forward to seeing and hearing this engine run.

Thank you. I appreciate it. The goal is to make the whole series as complete as possible and not skip over any important information.

Agreed... more people should be watching these videos.
