Great job. Love watching your videos.. 👍

Another great video pal. I first sae your 740 vid a few years back. It has to be one if not the best around. Keep the videos coming dont be shy with the in depth content.

Love your work! Great contet!

Great work! And Madonna would be proud of that musical pause 👍

Thanks for these amazing videos! Greetings from Estonia

yes yes yes 😊👍🏻

Another amazing video ed, thums up, keep up the good work :)

Outstanding work! This is what I have always dreamt of doing in my E38 shorty sport. You could have just flashed the 4.4 DME with 4.6 software allowing you to keep the original keys and EWS. I think the only difference is the emissions stuff between E38 and E53 which may cause a check engine light.

great engine, great car

Hi always great content to watch please do more great stuff from carl south africa pe

Nice job. Apart from the 4.6 swap I am doing very similar restoration on my 740i facelift. Thanks for sharind the info about the torque converter and bell housing, good to know all this info

Spoke about sound of engine during first crank to raise oil pressure. This is something one can only learn by DOING. The piston cranking rhythm should be even, equal and steady. Any disturbance heard in that rhythm tells the mechanic -> STOP, investigate, ask what did I miss? This is especially important when working alone w/o a second technician to say something like: Hey you only hand tightened the valve cover bolts, you forgot to torque them.

Can you see about grabbing a set of 750 "high security" front brakes. Those things are extra, extra beefy..

Another great work! Can you show us in a nee video how to remove engine completely from e38 in any video? Start to end process and put the engine back? Please let us know. Thanks

Goood!!!

Nice Videos but a Little more to much speaking. We like to see more bodywork or electrical work. Go ahead.👍👍

Eddie get the valve body on the gearbox rebuild, and a full service and she will shift effortlessly! I went to ZF in dortmund best €600 spent on her.

Even Torque converter form 4.4 is different with 4.6 , they may looks same but inside different bulid. Keep updated dyno score... My ex 4.6 X5 with 90k miles show 320hp(video on my profile)

Original valve cover is powder coated, and indeed it doesn’t last

what is the difference between 5hp24 and 5hp30 ....and how drive both....and why they put the 24 instead of 30 on the facelift e38 V8 .....

Super human

When will part 3 be available?

Why use a 4.6 torque converter? Larger converter is heavier and will take more power to spin up.

Hi Love it . Do you know any 6 speed automatic transmission can swap on 2001 e38 740il ? Thanks

Ed, you really like the B4? I put new Sachs dampers one my Schnitzer about 6.5 years ago, they have covered 45k but don’t feel that good anymore with the factory Schnitzer spring. I have a full set of B4’s in my lockup with a set of Eibachs to replace my rusty springs. You think the B4 will be better than my Sachs?

I was wondering where did all e38 go? Now that makes sence.. Ed bought all of them in the UK

I was wondering whether I can cooperate with you, that's gorgeosly amazing

Hi Ed greetings from New Zealand, love your work with all things Bimmer. Hey so i have converted my x5 4.6is to manual and rwd. it fully starts and drives but I am having one small issue when i try to go full throttle just above 3000-4000rpm in any gear the car starts the cut power for a split second and just keeps doing that till i back off the throttle. So my question is did you have to change any of the modules out from the x5 to e38 car? or did you use the e38 traction control module? Thanks Richard

Is there an advantage of using the 4.6 torque converter behind a 4.4 engine? I have a spare 4.6 torque converter laying around.

I don’t know anything about cars, but ai just inherited an E38. Is that a more powerful engine than stock?

I went for lie down , head ache .

One question, does the 6-speed Manual gearbox from 740i directly bolt on to the 4,6 engine?

I want to do a manual swap to a E38, what's the best gear box to get and what components would I need to do one that will be successful??

Hi mate i got e39 535i and wane swap 4.6is into it what are the changes i need to do help plzzz

Im just wondering, is there a reason for not going to 4,8 from the X5? Is it a much harder swap or was the 4,6 what he had available ?

what subframe was used for the swap

Why does my 97 740i not have upper header cats and has a 5hp 30 Trans.

So you're telling me, that all this time.... Size does matter 🤐
