No obnoxious music, no unnecessary acting. Straight to the point and beautifully explained. Keep up the good work. I have subscribed to your channel. I hope other videos will have the same standards.👏

[@sokola311]

This channel is going to get very popular very quickly with details like this. Brilliant content.

[@sszablya]

Amazing. You probably need to do a video on your garage setup, too!

[@hashim_iraq]

most professional and detailed video I’ve ever seen on N63 engine removal ! thank you and can't wait for the other parts .

[@TLC7]

Much respect to you from a new bmw mechanic

[@DanielMoser-w1g]

Sir! You make this look far too easy! I am replacing valve stem seals on my 650I, and it has been an absolute nightmare! Things breaking left and right due to being brittle! Kudos I love the videos I just wish it was this easy and flawless for me!

[@deenojiren7979]

Bro you deserve every single subscription, you make me feel like I can pull this engine out all by myself .😅

[@bimmer.doctor]

You can do it!

[@aezarexxzarus4846]

Wow! Incredible to say the least. If this were a diy course, I'd be willing to buy these videos for hundreds of dollars. Beautiful work!

[@bimmer.doctor]

Thank you! Hope you enjoy the rest of the videos. No charge for these, I just like to try and help people to fix their own stuff

[@realityspirit2370]

I’m speechless… the quality and details in this video is out of this world.

[@PavPD]

Very nice editting and very detailed steps. Great to see bolt/nut specs. Keep these videos coming! Would love to see similar video on N52 F10 528i :)

[@terrasaid7524]

what a careful, punctilious, and meticulous job, Thanks for Sharing.

[@khaledabunuqaira9676]

I have a similar car with the same engine, only with your video i was able to identify the car contents plz do keep it up

[@edwintatlonghari9418]

This kind of content with graphic description of bolt & nut sizes & part description is what I like to watch. Instead of the others that describe their builds as always EPIC or always saying “check this out” or too much talking.

Just started my 2011 550i xdrive rebuild ... watching your videos helped ALOT ... love the detail you put into each step... gave me alot of confidence in doing the work myself. thank you!

[@bimmer.doctor]

Thank you! The whole reason I started posting these videos was to help others who are trying to do it. Good luck with the project and let us know how it turns out!

[@abdulsalammohammed8778]

Watching this is very therapeutic. Great work!

[@parthiparthi4224]

The amount of work needed to dismount engine!!. I am no car mechanic but need a good memory to know what goes where during reassembly. I am mostly a motorcycle mech and I take picture and write notes on every step I take. So when I reassemble i don't rely on my memory.

[@danielhoffmann3365]

Great detailed video and nice editing, sound and light! Looking forward to an introduction of you and this project…hint hint hint 😬

[@DxProDuctioNn]

Reminds me alot of m539 restorations and that is top notch content! Keep going my friend!

[@ricksangi774]

Nice and easy to follow video without all the fluff. Very nice. One suggestion, I believe that hood has a service position where you disconnect the strut supports and move to rear posts. Enjoyed watching.

[@rodx.8723]

Excellent video! I just bought a beautiful 2012 750li Individual. I think it has jumped timing and I plan to use your videos for a diy engine swap. I plan to take my time and just do little each day...may take me several months to complete but I only paid 2300 for it! I hear its actually easier to replace the engine rather than replacing the timing chain(s)....I shall see. Thank you for such a priceless tool!

[@bimmer.doctor]

Congrats, great buy! Yes, the engines are really cheap to buy if you are in the US, you can get an entire long block for about 5000$. When you add up all the parts you need, plus the work involved, a new engine is definitely worth it. Good luck with the project, it's a great car once they're working haha

[@rodx.8723]

@bimmer.doctor Thanks again! Maybe when I get a used engine, I'll go ahead and replace the timing chain and also upgrade a few other parts before I actually install it. Hopefully, I'll save myself a headache if I do it beforehand. Great channel, new subscriber!

[@rodx.8723]

​@bimmer.doctor Welp, I decided to give it a go. I'm pulling the engine from the top using a hoist...do I still need to disconnect and lower the exhaust system?

[@Lorenz1992]

This needs a collab with @m539restorations

[@Carnold_YT]

Very nice video, great camera work, editing and lighting. It's nice that a car has a huge engine bay, but once they stuff a huge engine in there, it get's cramped for mechanics. I felt your pain when you had to remove that coolant pump.

[@berwhaletheavenger]

I used to work for a BMW dealer - I'm so glad I finished when these cars were just arriving. This modern stuff is terrifying and so fragile. Will you be replacing the valve stem seals and the turbo cooler pipes/unions? Good video - so nice to have no music.

[@bimmer.doctor]

Yes, I’ll be fully “restoring” the engine. Any brittle coolant hoses or problem areas, such as valve stem seals, will be replaced so that the car is running like new when it’s done

[@RATADATUAVELHA]

👍 perfect how to! you Sir, are a genius!

[@gagamil]

The amount of bolts and nuts, connections, cables, screws, plates, other stuff. Imagine how tedious one should be to correctly store this and then put on in reverse order. Otherwise be very familiar with the car and to know by heart all the screws. Almost rocket science. And that’s me being a software dev.

[@grdflacko9815]

Thanks I’m planning on doing this to my 750li 2011 also

[@carlosaguilar1945]

Can timing chains be done without removing heads? By removing oil pans and lowering subframe for timing cover removal?

[@bimmer.doctor]

Yes! It can actually be done without even removing the oil pan. That’s the way I did my first one on an X6. However, I would highly recommend against doing it this way if you have the tools to drop the engine out. You spend more time fighting for space than actually working. You are also able to do a much better job and replace other components along the way when the whole engine comes out.

[@noname-pr7ez]

Excellent!

[@ignaciojoseplayherrero4065]

Loving it. Thanks for the video.

[@brarautorepairs]

So is the engine has to come out for the timing chain replacement? I guess this is a good time to do all the other things like seals that are harder when the engine is in the car.

[@bimmer.doctor]

Exactly! The main issue is the timing chains that will be replaced, but at the same time I will be replacing valve seals and any other leaking hoses as it is much easier to work on when the engine is out of the car.

[@jeffbriesemeister2284]

What was the weight capacity of your lift table… ready to drop my engine assembly, but a little concerned about the weight. Otherwise I’d have to do a pallet and a pallet jack, but would rather not bring that home from work!! Thanks again for the amazing videos & help!

[@bimmer.doctor]

The table can support 1,540lbs. You definitely need to have a good table to do this. Another thing is to make sure you add counter weights in the front seats, or put a jack in the rear of the car to prevent it from tipping over when you drop all that weight out the front! Good luck!

[@thelastsamurai5857]

Nice work bro

[@southothehighway]

You may also want to replace the block drain bolts. Install new ones with teflon tape as steel bolts will corrode into an aluminum block. So when you want to do a complete coolant flush, it ccx will be easier.

[@prospectla6316]

How much do you charge for a motor swap and where are you located? Keep up the good work with the channel?

[@user-do6ur6su3y]

Super nice video! Why do you have 2 oil radiators (driver side and passenger side)?

[@oleksandrdiachuk2978]

Thank you for sharing this! I need to remove an engine from my 2016 X5. It's N63 engine, xdrive. I don't have a lift in my garage. Is it possible to remove it with a regular engine lift? The plan is to remove the front bumper and support, disassemble the transmission(I would prefer to keep it in place and support it with a stand), and use the engine lift to pull the engine.

[@bimmer.doctor]

Hi there, yes technically it is possible, but on the AWD N63 platform it is much more work to do it that way. But people have done it like that before so it is definitely possible. Good luck!

[@thekillerking7393]

Hi! Where can i buy nice tools as you have ?

[@adasterdezaster2865]

Very different set up then what’s in my 2006 E65

[@robertmassmann228]

I commented last fall, about my project car 2012 750Xi with a bad rod bearing, was way too cold to work on during the winter. Have made could progress on trying to pull just the engine. Car lift options are very limited. I did successfully complete an engine swap on a 2002 525i 6-7 years ago, but this a lot more complicated. I would like to pull just the engine if that is possible, I think I found one utube video showing this being done. I still have electrical, vacuum, fuel, and engine/transmission connection. Any other pointers would help. Not sure the engine can be save as I saw vertical scoring of one of the cylinders with my bore scope.

[@bimmer.doctor]

Yeah puling the engine without a lift will be tough, but I have seen people do it. It will definitely take longer, especially on the xDrive cars because you have the axles and stuff in the way. If you have scoring on the cylinder walls then you should replace the engine. I actually have a video coming this weekend comparing an N63 engine replacement vs rebuilding it, so keep an eye out for that!

[@robertmassmann228]

@@bimmer.doctor I will check and see I can send the cylinder photo I took. Thank for responding. Project that I have successfully completed, change head gasket on Mercedes E300D, changing the oil cooler seals of Mercedes ML350 diesel, and changing cylinder sleeve and rings of old Ford tractor. I did also complete an engine swap of BMW 525i.

Could you do the same job with an n63 AWD using a cherry picker/crane

[@bimmer.doctor]

You could, but generally I prefer this method, especially if the vehicle is AWD. That’s just my preference. I know many people who have done it using the cherry picker method.

[@kingzues1012]

Is there any reason why someone with awd should consider dropping the engine vs cherry picker method?
