I Bought My Mom a BMW E93 328i And Blew up the Engine Immediately... Let's Revive It!
I tried to be a nice son and buy my mom a convertible E93 BMW 328i because she has always wanted one and I got a deal on it. Well the "good deal" was short lived because within 24 hours of bringing it home I blew a rod out of the block. Before she could even drive it. She was pretty devastated by the news so lets fix it and get her convertible back on the road!

    Ha! I just bought an E93 328i vert 115k miles but black on black as a project. Seems to be in good shape but it won’t wake up. Trying to narrow which of the modules is providing issues - seems to be the JBE as nothing ignition controlled works. But they’re known for footwell module and CAS issues too. I love that you called a nearly 20 year old engine “modern.” Haha. All relative to what we like to work on. Perfect for your mom to cruise around in. Relatively easy to work on. Looks good but cheap enough door dings from going to the shops aren’t a huge deal. Easily replaceable if something happens to it.

      No worries! Reminds me of when my step mom wanted a convertible. My dad being money driven kept thinking of the investment side of it. They looked at Austin Healey’s and eventually the series 1 Jag E-types. I told him that while I understood what he was trying to do, she would be absolutely terrified to drive it. What do you do when someone even lightly taps your $100k e-type? Send it off to merry old England? She just wanted to have fun going to Kroger, church, the park etc. I think he actually took it to heart and ended up buying her a Z4. She absolutely loved it and drives the hell out of it. I hope your mom does the same!

    Searching for a car online is like searching dating sites. You have to assume most sellers are lying about something. And since most transactions are at arms length, “as is”, it’s a real gamble. You need to see the car in person or, if it’s too far away, have someone you trust, inspect the car and the title. Carfax or other title sites are necessary. Too many “I’m selling it for my friend or relative “, with the sellers name not on the title. Even fake titles are a serious problem with bank liens not acknowledged.

    Yuk. I am so DONE with all that 1 Series and E90 stuff. A BMW designed and built by GM, but not as good.😂 Keep the N52 cylinder head though. They have a value. BMW fitted steel oil sealing rings for the Vanos on the cams and they run directly in the alloy head - yup, you read that right. It's almost always the inlet cam that has Vanos oil pressure problems (no power, EML) when the steel ring wears a deep enough groove and BMW did not fit a removable cam carrier. Luckily the US didn't get the N53, the same thing but with Piezo high pressure direct injection. The injectors fail for fun and are only* $500........each. They rust less than an E46 but that's as far as I'm going to praise them. My Mum drove an E30 325i Convertible and an '82 Golf GTI. My mates all thought she was epic.

Great running engines and pretty reliable if one doesn't follow the BMW's crazy 25000km oil change interval. They used somekind of aluminium/magnesium alloy in these for the weight distribution.

      ​@@m3nameisjosh464 Bro ive been messing with old BMWs for so long and I love them but I decided to try a new car for once and bought an m340i....bruh had to study so many diagrams to get get a grasp on the coolant system, auxillary water pumps, auxillary radiators, thermostats for different cooling circuits (intercooler) etc. I love the car but I don't see myself owning this thing once it gets to high mileage...even though all I've bought my whole life was high mileage BMWs.

    I'm curious why you didn't opt to remove the engine through the bottom by just unbolting the subframe? Wayyy less work.

      @@m3nameisjosh464 I did it on my 4 post pulling the drivetrain out of my manual E39 540. Sketchy way of doing it, but I wanted to see if It can be done. First I had the car on the lift and unbolted all of the subframe bolts, loosened off the driveshaft bolts etc. I removed the hood and backed the car out and drove UNDER the lift. Had the front bumper off, so I tied chains to bumper supports and lifted the car off. Wish I could post a pic here, it was pretty funny to see.

    Hook the bare caliper back up to the lines and pump the pedal to push the pistons out of the bores. Or use compressed air.. just keep your fingers out of there

    I had VAC Motorsports in Philadelphia build this exact hybrid engine for me 12 years ago and put it in a 95 740i. ruclips.net/video/JtSbCIlGtLE/видео.html So happy you did a video on this build. Thanks for the detailed build information!!!

      @m3nameisjosh464 I am just glad to see how you did it. It was theory when I approached VAC back in the day based on the part catalog drawings. Loved that car. Was on KW v3 Coilovers. It handled like a 5 series. Sold it and the new guy hit a telephone pole the next week. Mad props to you on the build Josh! Well done indeed!

    I have an e46 SMG with 185k miles, I had to replace the Gear Position Sensor (Gear Identification sensor) and the temp sensor on the actuator unit. Try replacing the temp sensor if it’s saying it is overheating, it might just be the temp sensor, I don’t have overheating issues anymore and don’t need a relocation kit anymore. The problem is that it does not tell you it’s the temp sensor causing issues and gives you a 38 fault. Otherwise I did not have any issue with the SMG and keep driving it normally with no failures. I’ve had it since 173k miles though so that might not be enough experience for some but the owner I bought it from had it from 150k miles and the only issue he noted was the SMG sometimes overheats in the summer. The temp sensor was only 20 bucks. Note: don’t forget to download INPA software and run the SMG tests, it started shifting a lot smoother and less clunker after that once it learned the clutch wear status and all the other tests and recalibrations it does.

    No Need to remove steering.. No need to remove paddle box.. U remove the brake paddle, use the bolt from the manual car as that enables u to bolt the brake and clutch, and done
