    I'll be watching this a lot more. I bought two 09 E90's which were totaled. One with left side damage and the other with right side. Ill be making one good car out of the two. And bought a third car, a 2011 E91 Sport package with manual transmission that needs everything replaced forward of serpentine belt. Think it hit a deer but not sure. The E91 has immaculate dealer services on its CARFAX. And I own a former CPO 2011 E90 as my daily driver. Love me some N52 power. I am excited haha. Thank you.

    @pierre4094 3 роки тому +2

    You don't need remove the bumper or radiator. I remove only the gearbox and the intake manifold and the ventilator. But if you like more loose dismantle the exhaust manifold. The AC compressor and water pump disconnect and wait on the frame

    • @buildanddrive
      @buildanddrive  3 роки тому +1

      Yes, I tried to remove the exhaust manifold but it was really really difficult. I didn't have a good enough tool to reach the 10mm bolts on the manifold so I took it out with the engine. I also don't have a lift or transmission jack. So it was much easier to remove the front crash bar than take out the transmission in the driveway.

      You may have to swap the oil pan and engine mounting brackets from the 325xi engine onto the new motor. But it should work, just reuse the original 325xi transmission parts as well
