320d_01 · 10-04-2009, 03:14 PM

hi guys, i am gonna drop a 335i engine into my 2004 E60 530i (231bhp) also it's totaly legal in my country coz both engines re 3.0 litters. so, 3.0 twin turbo engine is much easier to tune also I dont like supercharger thing coz of the whistle! But what kinda problems will I have when fixing it????

Thanks for all ur comments about my topic lol, so ive found a 335i engine on ebay from Germany but doesnt have the transmission, so would it work with my auto transmission its top ratio 0.85 and final drive ratio is 3.46 but 335i has top ratio 0,69 and final drive ratio 4.17. Looks pretty close to me but I am also gonna make this engine over 400 bhp and hope my transmission can deal with it.

bro i really like ur plan here, but i guess the reason why most people are not making any comments is because they are tired of repeating the same comment over and over

the amount of money you end up spending is more than u trading in your car for 335i,

but i am really looking forward to this...i have found 535i engine and tranny, but thats it...no ecu,ecm etc... not sure what else u would need to make the swap
