N55 Build Pt.1 *Bearings, Crankshaft, Bedplate/Block*

The N55 build officially begins… In this video, I kick off Part 1 of my BMW E93 335i build series by getting into the bottom end of the motor. For this first step I: Installed brand new main bearings Dropped in an M2 N55 forged crankshaft Measured clearances using plastigauge Sealed the bedplate to the block Torqued everything to spec with proper torque angle This is the foundation of the entire build, and getting this part right is critical for what’s coming next. This series will document everything step-by-step — from the engine build, to the transmission swap, to installing a big turbo setup. The goal? To turn this N55-powered E93 into a 700+ WHP street car that’s still clean, reliable, and fully functional. ⸻ What to expect in this build series: • Full N55 engine rebuild & forged internals • Big turbo setup (Big Boost 3.4) • 8HP45 transmission swap • Fueling upgrades & custom tuning • Real-world driving, testing, and results ⸻ If you’re into BMW builds, N55 performance, or watching a full car transformation come together from the ground up — this is just the beginning.
