Replacing the engine in my 2011 328i Xdrive BMW

Changing this engine took a fair amount of effort but I got it done! This took about 4 long nights after work to get done, I could probably do it quicker now that I have done one. After purchasing the engine, a new oil change, intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, power steering fluid and coolant, I now have less that $4000 into the entire car. Of course this means my labor was free, but it was fun, sort of.

Definitely saving this for when I do my n52 swap on my 1er. Great vid!

Bought a 2009 328i xdrive, previous owner said it only needed a starter.. once i did the starter, I compression tested, car was $800 so i expected it to have low compression..as it did... thinking about just swapping an engine into it... suspension, exterior and interior are pretty amazing for a 188k mile car.. don't know how to go about it

Check few videos from M539 restorations, Sreten rebuilt some good engines, you can get lots of tips from him. Might get your engine to run a lot better.
