Swapping The Engine In My Fathers E46 330Ci!

After a series of unfortunate events, the original M54B30 in my father’s E46 330Ci was rendered useless without throwing thousands of dollars worth of rebuilding and machine work into it.
So over the course of 2 weeks, I spent every minute of every day documenting the restoration of my father’s replacement engine, as well as the chassis that would soon be surrounding the freshly restored drivetrain.
I’m having so much fun filming this type of content lately! It’s a gentle mix of mechanical work as well as carrying over the mindset associated with detailing into the generally neglected areas of these cars!
I hope you all enjoy this video, and maybe find a bit of motivation to take your time during your projects! With so many things on a checklist, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. But, with patience and motivation to reach the finish line, you’d be amazed at what you can accomplish.
As always, thank you so much for the support. I’ll see you guys again soon! 🖤
One love,
Aidan.

  • I love the fact that he does this all on jack stands and a creeper. Amazing talent and shows the younger gen that you don’t need a lift to get it done.

    • Ahh man thank you for saying this! I’ve wanted a lift forever, just like the rest of us, but working on the ground is what I’ve done my whole life so I’ll continue to do it until I’m in a position to upgrade to a lift!

      @AidanTemplin@AidanTemplin3 ай бұрын

    • @@AidanTemplin the other thing to consider is how much real estate a lift takes up... I had two lifts up in a relatively small shop and they completely took over the space. Sure you gain some vertical storage by being able to stack cars, but the lift columns do take up a surprising amount of space, even with a two-post clear-floor lift.

  • Taking the bumper off and removing the entire front assembly with the headlights still attached is much more efficient if you end up having to do this again. The bumper is attached with some 8mm screws to plastics underneath and in fender area and then two torx bolts. Once you remove the bumper remove the 6 nuts on the chassis arms and the two on either side. unplug the headlights, remove the indicators and remove the trims. the front will come right out! Super easy and makes reinstall much easier.
