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.
