Great video thank you my e39 needs a new torque converter possibly new transmission and this vid is going to help me do that myself

good job

Nice I wish my exhaust manifold still had nuts and bolts like yours

Great video, mine has just gone and blown the two gaskets just after the O2 sensor but the bolts or studs have gone,would you know if they are studs as I can,t tell if so looks like they will have to be drilled out.

Exactamente por qué lo hiciste, tengo el mismo modelo y aveces en frío huele demasiado a hollín puede tener alguna fuga el colector??

Question, I’m straight piped but my exhaust manifold is the original one. Do they have cats on them?

i would like to hear how it sounds now :D

Overheated my 525i cause the rad broke... So I tore that engine out and rebuilt the whole thing with a new block... Upgraded the M54 with M52TU piston rings, Upgraded oil pump, valve job, all new silicone vacuum lines, brand new gas filter, and gas pump, new timing chains and guides, upgraded the vanos with the anti rattle kit, aluminum rad from zionsville, upgraded disa, German Auto solutions CCV delete, and a bunch of other stuff i am forgetting. I mated the engine and transmission like a moron and sheered off the oil pump tabs or ears so no oil pressure in the transmission. I cannot shift it into gear so of course so I will pull the transmission. I had the damn exhaust off about a month ago and haven't fired it up more than 5 minutes total after the engine rebuild but one of the bolts i substituted is stuck like an asshole. Since I twisted the studs right off the downpipe I thought the new bolts would be easy to get off, I was dead WRONG lol.

Any idea how much the weight of the system was ?

Obviously somebody else had replenished the nuts and bolts beforehand
