We got scammed by a local used car dealership. After contacting them and notifying them, they were not willing to help us at all. 1 month later, they went out of business.
Thankfully our friends at straight six dismantlers, https://www.bmwforparts.com/, had a lower mileage S55 engine and the team swapped it in! Our winner Jagger Bains came out and picked up the car and it’s driving flawlessly!
Do you guys want to see us tear down the S55 to see what was wrong with it? If so, LIKE this video and comment below!

YOUR COMPANY IS THE SCAM
air test it
please dont give away a new bimmer again, you guys are able to swap the engine having the money, shop, tools and Quinn , a regular john doe wont be able to afford that shit. this is a comment from my broke ass point of view thought. love the channel and love what you guys do.
sounds like the high-pressure fuel pump to me
might be a bit difficult to diag it while the engine is out now tho haha
Look At Gas tank and the little Can-neitions
's
21:26 Look at your buddy getting rid of that imperfection. Mint.
Daang, replacing the engine instead of diagnosing the issue that is a ton of work. Kudosss!
So what happens with the old motor? Is that it, no more rip shnorta?? 😂
I have the same story about buying my 335is used from a dealer. Misfired day after it had such a mess of non kosher coils and plugs. Eventually it locked up because it was just a spun bearing got a replacement engine with new bearings I had the professionals do at my house! And new oem turbos. Cars running great! I drove it 40miles in the Texas 108 temp and it’s clean no codes rn
S55? You calibrated the injectors when you swapped them right? The injectors on these engines have super wide trim margins which tends to make them fire lean or rich especially at high RPMs which has a tendency to make the car go into limp mode and shut off the offending cylinder to minimize damage.
The other thing is the harness and the in line capacitors going to your ignition coil…if anything is messed up with those your new engine will eventually start misfiring on the same cylinder.
…I've been through the ringer with turbo BMWs and their electrical gremlins so if these aren't useful to you maybe it will help someone else having similar issues.
It’s crazy how these mechanics will have so much pride in fixing a car from ground up and it would run perfectly. Buy when you go to them to fix your car it’s never complete, mechanic insurance! But great job
i had a similar issue on my 2010 535i E60, found it was a bad ignition coil. so i bought a whole brand new set of coils, issue fixed… now oil leak again, probably tried fixing leak probably 3times…
check the ecu
I really want to know what was wrong with that engine
What problem? Normal people do not drive that that.
Worst engine builder ever 😂
Walnut blast those valves boys
I want to say it’s related to the valvetronic.

Before speed up would like to job that will be repeated in reg speed
They knew
S55 Supra 👀
I've seen this on other cars with a bad knock sensor.
Wouldn't use that dealership again…
I had a similar issue with my Supra. it was ALL in the tune. Zero actual engine problems.
The bad tune would also fix itself when I'd reflash the tune. After a few days of hard driving the issue would come back until I re-flashed the tune.
Dude … engine swap because of a misfire without a diagnosis? That's insane
Feels like a Ram Hemi with MDS
Great job guys!!! The car looks phenomenal ❤
The motor with the problem breaking up at low speed could be because of a problem with the bmw vanos system
All these automobile manufacturers these days are nothing but planned Obsolescence theives. They make complicated beautiful garbage. And our government officials do nothing to make these gangsters responsible for fixing problems these they know they have.
What do you expect when you buy a piece of s*** BMW or Mercedes
dogshit diagnostic lmfao
And you putting junkyard engine am I the only person that knows how to build a engine not just a nut bolt guy I guess us dumb ole 40 year master mechanic don't know shit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I tell you what to do.put it on direct mode…direct to the junk yard!!!
Really you got scammed??…you are idiots.even if you wouldn't got scammed that's a piece of shit disposable car.but what do youngsters know,they fall for a badge only.
its your transfer case, smh. let me come be your BMW mechanic
Yeah, that is wild. New motor for a misfire. I don’t know what to say. Another example that proper diagnosis is lacking in the world. Send it over to Ivan@pinehallowautodiagnostics
Been driving BMW cars since 1971. Currently I have a Crimson Red 2012 135i MSport with six-speed manual. Also own a '72 2002tii and a '91 318is. Great for the roads in Northern California! Love all three of these cars for different reasons, but straight-line speed isn't on the list. 😉
Dang wish you guys did a manual swap too…… while you’re in there lol
Menace it's so good to see you. I learned so much from your YOUTUBE videos for my 96 e36 5sp sedan. Are you still creating content?
If you bought a bmw, you definitely got scammed.
I had this problem on my Audi S6. Dealer couldn’t figure it out. It turned out to be a solenoid for the cylinder deactivation.
My old M240 was having the exact same issue BMW didn't find anything wrong and they did all the test available i turned out to be a Broken Valve Spring
0 respect putting cheap oil 😢
You guys are the "pimp my ride" I thought I was watching as a kid. Your builds always blow me away, awesome work.
Whats the lambda values during misfire?
Got to figure out what’s wrong with that engine ocd effect 🤨🤨🤨🤨
