I have a 2013 750li and I watched your video. I did not believe that it can be done in one hour. But I have to say that I did it in one hour and ten minutes. Install took a litle longer thoe. Great video.

Very encouraging. I’m looking to get an older E53, but no matter, I know the engine will need to come out to address all the “normal” issues aside from any repair.

Ive got a 2011 750li with n63 engine.. Someone tried to change change the spark plugs and now cylinder 1 spark plug is not threading.. Just goes in and keeps spinning.. Im being told I will need to have the head removed to fix it and they must pull the engine... Can this be helicoiled or threadsert repair... Or would engine need pulled? Car still runs and drives but very poorly because its misfiring due to not firing on all cylinders.. What do you suggest.. Im not driving it until I get this figured out. Your input is appreciated.

@globaltraders1338 4 роки тому

hey Dillion, if i got an engine swap from a bmw dealer and it says short block on the paperwork, n63 2012 750li is that generally a long block, complete remanufactured with updated parts to hopfully eliminate a lot of the issues we were having, with new pistons rodes, heads, fuel enjectors, spark plugs etc etc? nice video.. thx for unloading any break in suggestions for 1st 1000 miles? i feel alittle vibration when accelerating after on a cold start at low rpms, when its going into 3rd gear, goes away after warms up.

@MrDbaggins 4 роки тому

short block is actually the long block, block, heads and all internals, most of the time injectors are reused, they are usually a cold start rough running or hard acceleration misfire, some cars have a warranty extension on them, as far as break in BMW doesn't recommend anything specific, i wouldn't take it to the racetrack or anything but i give them a couple full throttle pulls to make sure everything is good before i release them back, id rather have the issue while i have the car than give it back to the customer and they have to come back,

Do you know If the engine exchange I’ve read about for $3700 still going on? If so, do they replace it with an upgraded newer engine or just a rebuilt N63? I am looking at a 2011 550xi vinC783362 with 98,000 that has a blown engine that I can get for under $4,000. How many hours labor for engine swap? Thanks. Oh, excellent video by the way. Ive always done engine pulls from the top but that was on older American rear wheel drive cars. Seeing it can still be done helps but with an Xi model out the bottom would probably be the preferred?

@MrDbaggins 4 роки тому

It’s close to that. It’s a rebuilt unit. There’s a ton of other parts that go with the engine replacement that are not included in that. Labor is probably around 30 hours depending on the dealer. Usually all in it costs about $10-$12k if it needs turbos that’s more though. I pull all cars out the top drive or not. X5’s and x6’s I drop. They don’t physically fit out of the top. Shock towers are in the way.

@MrDbaggins 4 роки тому

It’s close to that price. It’s a rebuilt unit from Germany. Together with all the other parts needed labor at the dealer is usually around 30 hours to replace. Most the estimates I do are $10-$12k. I pull all cars x-drive or not out of the top. All X5 and X6 I drop. They don’t physically fit out past the shock towers.

@RonVF 4 роки тому

T3ck_lyfe thank you for the reply. I decided to pass on the 2011 550 even though I could have gotten it for $2500. I am thinking that engine design with those turbos mounted up top and in the middle of the V is just something that will require major maintenance all to frequently. My daily driver is a 2005 545 sport with 214,000 that I’ve done all the usual items on including valve stem seals. I love the performance of the V8’s and would probably really love the N63 but I had a local BMW service manager advise me to walk away. Thanks again.
