E92 M57 timing chain snap

PSV · 03-19-2024, 02:59 PM

I've got a 2008 E92 325D and a while ago my timing chain snapped doing a light pull. I found a low mileage M57 engine from a 2009 e60 that I'm putting in the e92. Does anyone have a list of the things I have to swap from my old engine to the new engine? I know I have to swap engine mounts and the oil pan, is there anything else?

Thanks!

You might need to swap the lower timing cover aswell if i remember correctly due to placement of auxiliaries. This would of course require removing the chain and having tools to do the timing chain job which you should do anyway for a new engine.
Easier just to compare the engines side-by-side when you take them out.
Otherwise should be fine, engine wiring of course also you need to change.
