You really need to do a video with the customer. Everyone loves to see people smile.

[@speedbuggy16v]

This, smile, giggle, shit themselves, whatever........

[@speedbuggy16v]

You are killing me, I am a fabricator/hot rodder and was watching to see some of the in's and outs of the swap thinking I could do it cheaper. But I dont see many things that I could do cheaper and still preserve the quality of the build. I am going to end up divorced and living in my E30.................... Awesome work!

[@SikkyTV]

Much appreciated! Convert the back seat to some sort of bed before you do that LOL! Thanks for watching and please share our videos around the web!!!!!

[@plugBONE]

You’re better off w/ the e30 😊

Great videos, awesome work. Im actually planning for this build in my E30 coupe. your videos have provided priceless tutorials.

[@SikkyTV]

Thanks for watching! Glad we could help make the swap easier!

[@BrianWBlock]

This is the ultimate sleeper. So awesome!

[@SikkyTV]

We agree!

[@tommywoodruff2953]

Checking out the BMW LS builds.....wonder if they could get an LS in my X6?

[@carloM635csi]

BELLISSIMA!!

[@SikkyTV]

Thanks!

[@au_50]

planning on doing this in the future, any idea how I'd go about getting a swap kit in Australia? Brisbane QLD specifically, I liked the series

[@504DamnSkippy]

OMG! INCREDIBLE! Fixing to run up the credit card, Honey...

[@SikkyTV]

Lol, visa MasterCard or American Express or all three?!? 😜

[@edwardjablonski621]

Although a tremendous build, and the plaque is a nice touch, this is not a 1998 car. Otherwise, I really really enjoyed the video and the car. Thumbs up!

[@SikkyTV]

Edward Jablonski lol yeah we already fixed that thanks to another viewer shortly after we posted the video. New plaque installed but way to catch that. Still baffled we missed that!

[@fatihsahin6814]

How much cost this Projekt?

[@alilibenard575]

Cost for a full turn key pallet

[@kumakaroshi117]

1998 bmw e30 on the plate ??

[@jahcousteauu_STAYinSHAPE]

That’s BaAd Azz Bro, I need mines done... about how much did this swap cost...? I’m txt’n while I watch idk, hopefully you give me an estimated cost before the end of the vid... if it’s not too expensive I’m sending mines rght away...

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

What's the diff Ratio

[@ljbondoc]

I'm planning to do the LS swap when the drift season is over this year. I noticed that wiring harness portion of the build was covered by a 20 second timelapse. Can you elaborate what harness modification was done?

[@SikkyTV]

We used a wiring specialties plug and play harness. Very simple install. Sorry we did not cover in more detail but it’s specific to what harness you use.

[@didithepest]

Did you guys have to cut the shifter hole to accommodate the new shifter position ?

[@SikkyTV]

Miguel Nin no when using the t56 it lines up with the hole in the trans tunnel

[@adrianramirez8329]

Will this kit work with LS based engines like the LM4?

[@SikkyTV]

Yes

[@polloloci21]

Very cool- I’m selling all my other cars and getting one of these. Very cool man!! That little diff holds all that power?

[@SikkyTV]

DO IT! Yeah for street driving it holds up fine. If you were going to do a lot of drag racing with big sticky tires then it would likely be an issue

[@polloloci21]

SIKKY I’m currently working in Italy and will probably take a E30 320 touring, they use the same trans as a 325. I have a 71 fiat 500, 495cc 17hp- so I can use a bit more power. Haha

[@TheZmt325]

Man, i missed the finale by like 6 months.

[@chucinchu87]

How much does a complete build like this cost....motor n labor???

[@SikkyTV]

The cost can vary quite a bit depending on all the options. More info here www.sikky.com/e30swap/

[@doitalldavey8788]

98 E30?

[@SikkyTV]

Don’t understand your question?

[@ballinthavx]

@@SikkyTV E30's were produced from 1982-1994. He was wondering why the badge said 1998

[@doitalldavey8788]

@@ballinthavx Yes

[@SikkyTV]

OMG! Didn’t even see that. Looks like we will be replacing that one. Supposed to say 1989. Good catch

[@doitalldavey8788]

IT happens sweet build anyways.

[@cagkangaranti3141]

what gearbox did you use for this LS2 engine?

[@SikkyTV]

This particular build we used a T56 from a GTO.

[@Levrrrrr]

Do you have swap kit for BMW e46?

[@SikkyTV]

Levrrrrr it’s in the works currently but no eta yet. Hopefully first quarter of 2020

[@SikkyTV]

Awesome!

[@Pengajim]

Now put some real rubber on that thing so the owner doesn't kill himself.

[@SikkyTV]

Ha! your not kidding. We definitely pushed for an upgrade to them but he wanted to keep the more OEM look
