NEW OIL PAN FOR THE LS ENGINE! + Installation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- I went to CPP (Classic Performance Products) and bought a new oil pan that will fit the ls3 into my BMW E46. In this video I show you how to take off and replace the oil pick up tube and how to assemble the new oil pan. If you have any questions let me know in the comments or message me on Instagram.

Your making more progress in 2 months then I have in 2 years
Same here! The E30 engine swap I did for a friend took five YEARS...but he's driving it and happy. Selena, don't get discouraged if it seems like it's going slow! You are making GREAT progress!
Never seen someone this cute do a oil pan insall.
Have been enjoying watching your vids... Keep the great work
Has temted me to complete an LS swapin my E46 also. I will just need to find kit for RHD since I'm in Australia and auto since I don't want a manual 👍👍👍👍👍👍
10/10 on your vids my son and I watch your you tube Vids and shop life
It is very unusual to see a women restoring a car herself, or even working on cars at all, however I respect them just as much as I do guys. I also want to tell you that you're doing a great job so far, and I love watching your videos.
Hi Selena, from where do you took your knwoledge on cars or how are you educated?
Greetings from Germany:)
Just knew one or more bolts would fall in the pan of oil. Life.
Im guessing you have heard it over and over but I hope it NEVER gets old for you... You are the kind of woman that MOST men dream of. Not only are you gorgeous, but you are a gear head!!! I can honestly say that before I saw your videos here, you were just a theoretical thing like a unicorn... There are MANY vids with girls working on cars but they try so hard to be "cool" like the guys and it is SO transparent. Basically, besides your beauty, is your acknowledgement of not knowing certain things you are doing, which 99.99% of the guys commenting, are in the same position but are too proud to say so. Including myself!!! So many girls try so hard to show up everyone, it gets stale. Its SO refreshing to see a woman willing to learn and take criticism, even if she doesnt need it. I have to tell you, Im so inspired by you, Im going to start my "put off" project soon. Thank you so much. You inspire a lot of us, even if we dont want to admit it. Oh and I have an 89 325i german spec that I would like some advice for.
its a lot easier to use an engine stand when you're interchanging parts and removing stuff all you really need is like three bolts to secure the engine so it will be faster to remove back to hoist,keep up the good work.
THIS IS SO AWESOME!
Great move with the oil pan, I did the same thing and used the holley 302-2 (i did a step by step video), The oil pans are expensive but exactly what we need subbed in..CJ
She's cute subscribed
BMWSelena, hey I love your videos. My daughter is 25 and she is always saying "I can't do that I'm a female". Until I showed her your video and now she's saying something totally different now.
Keep up the good work....
I think its awesome that you are doing this project and documenting it step-by-step. These things take courage, patience, and the will to succeed. You will do this!
Good job Selena. That's a lot of work. I was left hanging on this video. Almost thought you were going to test fit the engine again.
Hi, Selena
I plan on doing a LS swap in my E46 too, but I'm going to hold off until you're done and have done all the troubleshooting. much love and keep up the good work.
You are perfect girl Selena ;)
Seleeennaaaaaaa SHOUT ME OUTTTT IM ALSO IN PROGRESS DOING A 5.3 swap on my e46 and im also expecting a baby dont know the gender but best believe he or shes getting a bmw shirt and if its a girl which i pray to i wanna teach her and have her see these video that girl got power 2 and can also accomplish alot just like u did ur an amazing inspiration for my lil sister she 14 and she helps me do oil changes and spark plugs on my e46
looking good there Selena!!! Sorta reminds me when I had my 85 Camro 2.8 V6. I got 225,000 miles out of it and it still did not burn oil, but the upper intake manifold gasket went on it. I bought a wrecked 85 z28 Iroc and took all the running gear out of it including the ECM and wiring. Had the perfect sleeper; this was back in 1999.
Update : Multiple dimples spotted as well as really long hair.Pink polish was the color of choice for the finger nails. The beast is get closer to roaring, stay tuned as Beauty builds the beast. 🗣️LET'S GET IT SELENA!!!!! 💪🏾
Cool video Selena, thanks for keeping us updated on your project. Just seeing you change the oil filter makes me want to bless the engineers at BMW for where they put the filter on my engine. At least they got that right!
E30 prices going up? Hell yeah, they sure are. Good ones of those are going to be as rare as rocking horse shit.
On that note, E46 M3s are almost unprocurable on the open market here in New Zealand. I talked to one guy a few months ago and he had bought up 13 of them as an investment. Smart fella. As far as I can see there are a mere TWO hard tops advertised as available in my whole country and one of those is trashed anyway. If you'd bought one when the price bottomed out, you'd be laughing today. Good move on buying (and keeping) the E30 Selena.
Wow! Good job!! Amazing I like how you are working in that BMW I have a 96 318is coupe 5 speed I did put headers in the future I will put a turbo 😎 but you are in another world so exciting how is gonna work that engine in a bimmer 😍
Hi! love the video Question wouldn't the subframe of the Camaro fit in the BMW.. or is that even possible to switch out BMW subframe for the camaro subframe???
Wait until tomorrow to finish?? The anticipation is killing me!! LOL... I'm afraid to change the oil in my E93 and here you are changing a whole engine. Love your channel, keep up the good work!
I've been watching your videos for a while, great job. I have a 2006 325i e90 sport package. I want to do a ls swap but was told it can't be done,can't wait to see your car finished.
You are being a GREAT example for young women everywhere. Keep it going. There are only a handful of ladies like you, so no reason you can't be one of the first. Great work, and keep the video's coming.
Impressive project, really cool seeing the inside of the oil system.
I like that you are not afraid to keep in small mistakes - it's one of my pet hates when UA-camrs so obviously edit out tricky bits - kudos! & Subbed :)
This is really great, I also have a E46 318i though and really interested in seeing how it's done, Greetings from South Africa
Nice job on the oil pan swap, take your time do the job right so you don't have to worry that you miss something , fix on my own car Honda accord all thee time pulling parts making sure i ride smooth and not breaking down the freeway, you show what all other utuber how to start from the beginning to the end you go girl, keep the up the good work, and always be safe working under ur clean BMW..
That's a serious drain bolt! I'm looking forward to seeing this thing completed. So cool. I wish I could do it with my wife's E46.
It must be confusing with all these marriage proposals
How does one focus on mechanical stuff when there is so much eligible talent commenting and distracting you?!!!
You do it your way, going by the comments most people are in awe of you having a go. Learn by your own mistakes is the best way also. Its a big learning curve, and people watching your videos are watching to learn also.
The oil pan is the same as a Holden Monaro/ pontiac GTO ? looks very similar,I know folks who have put LS's into mercedes using that pan.
Love the channel but you make me cringe watching you work on the engine while it sways back and fourth while you're under it.
Daily vlogs? even if more projects that are being worked on? I just look forward to every video that is posted.
i am just doing a hot upgraded 250hp n52 eplacement had to end up dropping subframe used your guide very cool ls3
you've earned my respect as a car woman/enthusiast not much out there cause it have guys who call themselves mechanics don't even attempt swaps or conversions like these so i wish you all the best and continue taking your time you will definitely get through
Hey beautiful looks like your learning a lot from this build, Keep it up that's half the fun!!!
That's dope I'm working on my 88 528e. Was thinking about a swap but might boost it. Keep up the good work.
Do you also revise the engine internals like headgasket and pistons stuff like that? before swapping it into the BMW? or doesn't it have many miles on it yet?
Wish u 2 was in uk . Defo would have visit yr shop wiv my e46 330 cd
Dirty diesel 🙈
Love your channel great to see a lady hands on the swap .
There are other channels with lady,s claim to be doing it but all you see is them handing the guy tools or parts.
Good work! What us your next project? Hope you can try benz w211...
girl, u do it your way, that is exactly how I would do it. I am a jeep guy, but I like the swap and want to see how yours turns out.
Love these videos, german cars are great! This channel will skyrocket soon can see it happening already
Just liquid gasket the oil pan... it's LS it will just fine...
U go girl... Ur knowledgeable with cars..I'm impressed
You just drill out those rivets. You can reuse those oil pan gaskets they're pretty good.
brand new to the channel. Definitely going to watch from here on out. good work!!!
Your doing a great job no matter how long it takes you progress will become great and the more time you take the better the car will run
gorgeous girl building a bad ass car. how do you not have a million subscribers.
I give you Props.Good work. I hope both my girls grow up to be like you.
Seems like forever when you are very excited about a project.
just have fun doing the swap girl 🔧😉👍
Where/when did you start getting into cars and stuff like that?
I'm kind of getting pissed that I never get your notifications
Really appreciate your video. This is a cool project to watch
You should do like at the end of the video the tools used and like tips and tricks
I got a '03 xi wagon that I want to eventually do a swap like this to it.
my wife is thialand woman she works like this and loves learning
Nice the ls's look farely simple and easy to work on.
where did you get your ls3 from? wreck or did you buy new.
is it textbook to always drain the old engine fluids?
Yea take your time and do it right... looking good so far
Are you planning on adding a turbo kit on your BMW?
Does the new pan have less oil capacity?
This channel gonna overtake shoplifetv :o
Enjoying the build Selena😀👍🏾
Someone needs to put a ring on Selena! she is a keeper!
I watch and like every single one of your videos, but im scared to comment..This is my 1st comment since Ive been subbed when u were around 5K subs.. lmao B)!!!
lol don't be scared! Glad you were here since 5k
ok, cool. Im not scared anymore :) lol
I am still looking for a E36 M3😢😢😢
I'm really intrigued by this swap and I have a e90 but wanted to change out the n52 for something els wondering if I could do the same swap
Jesus Gonzalez yes you can, look on forums
A m5 v10 would be cool in the BMW everyone does Ls swaps but thats just my opinion I loves ls Power
Jay Jay it's not about cool it's about reliability and finding parts easily.
Do use any of sikky parts for conversion
well done great video hun top job xx
Should have added locktite to the filter reduction bolt too, this prevents that piece to come out on every future oil change. Its not mandatory but it certainly helps.
yes the bolt had some already on there
i wouldnt of gone with the LS1 at all good ol 350/350 combo and eliminated the computer crap
Jody Blackwell just because you don't understand something doesn't make them crap.
Found your channel a couple days ago and i cant stop watching you videos really good quality videos and very your beautiful
thank you!
I'm pretty excited to see how it comes out
Any plans for boost on the future?
What part of NC? Greensboro?
She's so cute working on her engine
It's coming along great!
I have a question can you marry me??
:))
Hello , I am not a fan of modern Beemers , the Beemers I like were build when your father went to the Kindergarten. Said this I tell you that you are doing an awesome job with this engine swap. But you are not the first girl with mechanic skills I met.
Now my question...
You are swapping a Chevy V8 engine for a Beemer S6. The power increase is quiet noticeable.
Now you find out that you need to modify the Oilpan , the new pan has less volume than the original.
Less oil translates in worse cooling. So you have to adress this issue. (Don´t forget , you live in California)
What is your plan?
1-Bigger oilcooler than original?
2-Swap to drysump lubrication with separate oilreservoir and second oilpump ?
Greetings from Tenerife
I answered this question in the video...
Sorry , I saw in a following video that you mentioned an oilcooler. Does the stock Camaro come without oilcooler?
amazing videos i love them! it was always my dream to swap in an LS into my E46 when the engine blew. unfortunately, i went for the easy route and bought a 2nd hand M54B30 which ended up needing to be rebuilt so I just cut my losses and junked the car because i had no time and no energy to mess with it anymore. the car was otherwise beautiful and i miss it daily
Like the Pittsburgh hoist.....
Lol two nuts and one bolt okay
Selenas!!!!! Your back...

An awesome series.... keep on!
You're making good progress! Also giving me great ideas for my 05 x5 (E53) keep up the good work.
Love watching you work 👍 reminds me of when my mum almost kicked me out of the house for rebuilding a lotus twin cam motor on the kitchen table 😜😜
Hey where are you located?
2003 E46 325 MSport Manual Facelift with 100,000 on the clock. Was thinking of some performance upgrades. Maybe a remap and a new exhaust system. What do you reckon? I'm from the UK so not sure what the price difference would be like compared to US. Good work on your videos btw. The content is very helpful and all the best for your car.
AA AA nice car. I have a 01' 330i. Six speed swap with a spring/shock combo and sway bars, super sprint&eisenmann Exhaust/headers combo, tune, sticky tires, just perfect for a daily. I'm looking to give my e46 somewhat of a facelift as the kidney grills on the facelifted models look great.
Eratiik thanks. Yours sounds very well done up. Must be fun to drive. Giving an 01'330i a facelift would be awesome. Selena's videos actually encouraged me to improve some performance features on mine after all the work she's going through with the new engine. Funny you mentioned the super sprint and eisenmann combo. I found a decent package to get the same one done on mine between £500-£1000 which is just in my budget. How did you find the drive after you had done yours?
AA AA yeah it's great to drive daily. Especially since my 330i came with basically no options. (No sunroof,sports package, etc.). When I put the six speed into it, the feeling was a night and day difference. The 330s have decent power when auto but with the manual trans it *feels* so much more powerful, responsive. Had to get the springs done around the same time tho as I knew I wanted it to sit flat when I drive it a bit harder or if I felt like darting through traffic. I went for a better handling option without ruining too much of the day to day comfortability so I knew I wouldn't need adjustable coilovers just spring/shocks and some great tires. The car was loud and had a great deep tone with the stock exhaust, my mate had the supersprint/eisenmann setup in his 330i. The videos he sent me made me hate them until I heard it in person. I fell in love. Cameras don't do the sound justice on these cars. It still has that deep tone to it, just with a bit more bass and rumble, somewhat louder which I like as I tend to row through the gears unnecessarily. It felt like it added a bit more response and power at times after the headers and exhaust, but that was probably me just being excited that my car sounded so good lol. Perfect for fun in the canyons too handles the corners like they're not even there, while still getting great feedback through the wheel. My next plan is to get a 01'-04' touring and set it up. I just can't get away from the smooth N/A delivery and feeling. It's soo good.
Eratiik thanks for the useful info. Its helped me make up my mind that i'll be going for that same exhaust system. Also found a decent remap package which can increase the BHP and Torque by a decent amount. That will help being that its only a 5 speed manual as appose to your 6 speed. It's unfortunate that most 330i's available on the UK market are mostly auto's or else I would have opted for the 330i instead. I'd like to also own a 5 Series Facelift E39 but to maintain and do up two cars at once can be quite expensive. Still won't stop me aspiring for it though! Lol
AA AA sorry for the late reply, didn't get a notification. Another great way to go is with the stock headers, they work just as well and it's a cheaper option, performance wise I'm not sure, but it still has a beautiful sound. But ya know even with the info I gave you don't be scared to go and scan the multiple BMW forums for advice. Mine was just from my experience but there are tons of well known BMW gurus on the forums that are more than willing to give advice on anything BMW. Good luck with whatever you do bro! 😁.
Love your videos ^^ but i am against to engine swap for the E30 let the original engine in and restor it :/ if its not totaled
Thanks for the shoutout! And hell yea I can't wait for an E30 swap, that would be awesome
Great video. Sub
Simply awesome. Absolutely love your videos. Keep up the great work.
Nice work....Good stuff...
Thanks for the step by step videos never knew about ls swaps, I think I want to try it out!
