What about the clutch delay valve? Is it gonna stay or are you removing it? What's your opinion about CDV remove?
Another great video, keep it going!
I have a 04 330i auto and manual drive shaft auto rear trying to put manual front but the teeth were they joint aren't going together
Great video. Is the dme and ews wiring same for a 2001 e39 with ms43? also how about the drive shaft rule of thumb, just change the forward section? thanks
Very impressive and well explained video. I liked and subscribed to see more.
The Petrolhead language....😍
Im gonna be manual swapping my 03 325xi touring
I wish you were in South Africa
Wanna do this to an x5. Would love a video on how to do this to AWD platform.
I recently bought a zf 5 speed transmission for a e46 (328ci manual swap), at the moment all I need is the drive shaft. I've read that I have to get the drive shaft specifically for a zf transmission. Is that true or?
Gog the same car 328ci auto and looking for manual swap . If you have update on your project I would like to know . Thanks
@@TheAlfie4uTV i have been driving my car for about 6 months after the did the swap 👍
Hi. What about the rpm. Will it remain at 6500 or with the ecu at to mt switch the rpm will change?
Is there any video on auto to 6 speed swap? 🤔
i have a 02 330i and looking to do this same project... Problem I see is that I see lots of transmissions but not sure if they will fit my car? Any suggestions what t look for? i was thinking 6 speed or should I just look for 5 speed? Tips?
Might also have to change the belt drive vibration dampener on some engines BMW no. 11237805696. Because you can stall an engine with manual transmission the drive needs to have a one direction rotational unit build in.
can you elaborate a bit more I would like to know
I have a small question, will the valeo clutch and fly wheel kit fit on a 330i with and m54 3 liter? and obviously a 5 speed zf
For that price just buy a good used manual. Thx for the info and talking me out of a sawp
did you do a video on re-coding modules to get the gear light off... and to get cruise control to work..
mannnn 800-900 7 years how much inflation has gone up
Man I need your help I have a 2001 325xi my motors blown what would be a good replacement to put in
I think im going to try this out
Does anyone have a link to that flywheel+ clutch kit?!
2005 bmw 330i m54
Can’t find this kit ANYWHERE
Bay Area, CA
bro can a LAND CRUISER 200 diesel auto be converted into a manual?
Need the BMW e46 part number of the pedal assembly for manual transmision
Where’s your shop at? How much would you charge to supply all needed parts and to install?
Hi, great video! Is it possible to swap automatic transmission for Manual in 2015 BMW 435xi? I haven’t seen anything on never bimmers online.
whats the point in spending 3 grand on that? Dont know bout the US but you can get a really nice e46 for around 2000€ in ireland. I got my Coupe for 1300 but had to get a new engine, all came up to ve just over 2 grand which is pretty cheap. BTW love your videos, everything clearly explained. Just started working on my car when I found your channel so looking forward for more videos! 👌💪
These people are based in USA. North American spec E46s are quite different from euro spec e46s. More importantly, why are you worried about the cost when this isn't your car, not your build, and you're not writing checks on the swap?
good afternoon, the autopilot was normally normal? thanks!
What are you going to school for? I work on bmws as well & going to school. Interested in what you're doing
hey I am going for business
Hey man I'm looking at a e46 320i I was wondering which manual gearbox would I need cant seem to find exactly which box I need

Did your check engine lights come on after the swap ?? Mine is throwing a transmission module code
I am considering doing this swap on my 1999 323i. I have found a 5 speed manual transmission from an 1998 328i; I was wondering if you know if this would be compatible with my car.

How do you get the cruise control and traction control to work ?
Would I be able to swap a 99 328i manual trans into a 02 325i?
شكرا جزيلا
Do u also need to swap the clusters or its all thesame? Thanks
Which is better in E46 a manual or automatic transmission?
Honestly the zf auto trans is really fun but it still ain’t no manual
Then its possible to out this on the new supra too!
@ShopLifeTV I have a 2003 325 xi. I am interested in a manual swap in mine. would the fact I have xi change this process or make it non doable. thanks much :)
Daniel Hargis I also have a 325 xi? Have you found an answer to this?

Ecs tuning.

Part # for ESS clutch line
i know this is an old video but do you still respond to messages on insta?
Hey shoplife where are you located
It’s called propshaft not driveshaft
Like your vids , picked up an E46 recently and you have been a source of good info. As a retired mechanic I must say my hat is off to you , keep it up young man , it's a great feeling to have somebody like you to pass the torch along to.
Thanks for the kind words! Hope to keep helping people through my videos for a long time to come!
Hey doing a 6 side swap on my 01 325i from a 04 330i I'm down to the drive shaft and the don't mate I have a drive shaft shop near by can the just swap the connection point for the drive shafts. Side by side they look very close
u inspire me to keep my e46 and never let it go needs alot of work and u live 2 hours from us so i myte visit u guys cant wait for ur gf ls3 swap :)
You in SoCal?
Hey. love your videos man. Do you know if you can swap a 5 speed to 6 speed quite easily? I’ve got a 5 speed manual 325ci and think a 6 speed would be a good upgrade.
Hey dude, weighing in all the parts needed for the conversion. What is the total cost for the conversion?
He prices it out if you watched it all. Somewhere between 3k and 4K depending on who does the work and how much preventative maintenance you want to do.
@@soldat2501 1700 in parts.
This will probably go unnoticed but personally I bought an entire car 325i sedan with a blown motor and 6spd trans for $500. That way I didn’t have to worry about forgetting anything or buying parts, it’s going in an 04 325i sport package touring we bought for $900 with a blown torque converter seal (auto transmission was likely toast too being run dry) also bought a new clutch kit+flywheel and main seal
What would you need for a 6 speed swap on a 330ci?
What about the computer and harness for an auto to manual conversion?
Yeah im stupid so Idk where to even source a manual transmission -__- But I wanna do this
FrnchFriez same
This is a crazy question. How strong are the e46 325xi 5spds? Reason I’m asking is I’m doing a VWtdi swap in my Land Rover Disco 1 that currently has a ZF auto. I want to swap in a Manuel. I am looking at the 325xi trans because it has a t-case. I would delete the BMW t-case and use the Rover case. The BMW has the starter on the same side as the VW. My train of thought is that the outputs of the 2 ZF trans might be the same splines, over using a manual out of an American 4x4. I can get this trans for a $150.
How much would you charge to do this swap for me?
i 2 wood like 2 no plz
inflation dude , sad i could've done this job for around 8-900 barely 6 YEARS ago now from what i've research overall it goes for not less than 1600
Well done dude. You genuinely sound clued up
I do have a question about leaks under the car?
I have a 2001 330xi with 245k miles leaking oil and drips of antifreeze in the front part of the car.
The car runs good gut I sense that I should get to the source of the leaks before too long.
Any recommendations?
HELP! I have a manual swapped e46, I tried to get my car inspected by the DMV today and I have engine light on for 4 transmission codes. Do you know how to get them turned off? Should I unplug the auto transmission computer? 🤔🤷🏽♂️
Hey I got a question for everyone. So I have a 2001 bmw 330ci and I want to swap out the manual 5-speed transmission in it. My question is can I fit a e46 M3 6 speed manual tranny in the 330ci? I’m wondering if it is possible and what parts or kit I will need.
I have the Manuel transmission for my 328i e90 sedan, could you do the swap for me. thanks
Great work fella just wondering don't the technician is the USA Wear steal toe capped boots iv dropped a box on my toes but luckily it only dropped from a few inches but without them on its broken toes ! Ps when I say box I mean a transmission in England we say gearbox or box for short
i have a 2001 325ci automatic so i can use the manual parts from a 330 and it will work using half of my old driveshaft ?

Hey Man I Love Your Videos I've always go to your channel for info for my 3 Series.

Where can I get a clean Manila transmission online where you get it for “900” please help a brotha out

Awesome!!! keeping doing this DIY for E46... Its help-me so much!!!
Have a question
I bend the same parts to my 2006 bmw 325i e90
Could you use a 2011 328 manuel in to a 1996 99 328 e36 thks
Can you get me part number of chlutch lines please
Just bought a auto 01 330ci that the trans went out and was removed by shop because the car owner couldn't pay lol so this would be interesting to do 🤔
Chur bro umm jus as in what gbox will fit my e46 bmw
Would this be the same for 325i non m smg to manual
Are the driveshaft different on coupes and sedans
No, driveshafts are different between models like 323/325 and 328/330.
Thank you very much!!!
Where to buy BMW E46 Geniune parts?
If I swap my e46 330i from automatic to a 6 speed manual, will the car pass a smog check? And will it throw any codes? Any one know?
I would be surprised if a code popped up from any of this unless a wire gets knocked loose or something.
I did the swap thanks to you but I have 1 problem, my car runs on 3k rpm in 5th gear at 120km/h when it used to do 2.5k rpm with the automatic gearbox, can you help me solve this problem?
Wouldn't it be better trading for a manual car ? All those parts look expensive and labor ?
if you can't do it yourself then yea buy a different car. You don't pay labor for this job lol
It makes sense because manual BMWs are more expensive on the used car market, especially the few low mileage ones. f you buy a low mileage auto car and convert it, it might save you some money. Also he did several service items on the go.
Do the 323ci and the 323i have the same transmission
How do you deal I think it's a neutral safety switch that doesn't allow the car to start unless it's in park or neutral... We did the switch from auto to 5 speed manual on a 98" 328i convertable & this was something we overlooked... Thanks for any help you can offer & all your useful content...

Thanks
I have a 2004 325ci with an auto transmission. Would anyone know if I could use a 2001 330I manual transmission?
I have a 330xd automatic. I rally like this car and have put a lot of time and money into it to make it feel like new again. Im thinking abot swapping the gearbox since the auto really doesnt give the engine justice. What gearbox can i use? And do i need anything special for the xi or can i ditch the xi and just make it rwd instead? Really doesnt matter as long as its manual..
how much did you charge for this?
Hello 🤗 i just mounted annother engine i my 330xi from 2001 ? I use the original mounted auto tranny ? Now the cars starts but the warning light is on and the car wont move ? Any one nows what to do thanks
