Subject: For the record- engine mount swap was 20 min! Since I've pulled and installed Author: bmw635 : member since October, 2005 : 20985 posts Posted on: 2007-10-19 11:12:05

an engine AND trans together by myself at home with no lift, the engine mount is nothing. Not to renew old news but if I did it in 20 min then that's all it matters to me- right?

I've seen guys swap trans in 1 1/2 hr- does it mean anything? Nope except he makes more $$ by charging 4hr for doing 1.5 hr job.
