I'm considering either an F81 M3, or a B58 F31. Kinda the two options I'm thinking for the next next project. Currently I'm looking to build a lifted Ford Econoline, planning to do a 4x4 conversion and everything. Going to make myself a bit of a camper/offroading van. Once I come back from New York, I'll be looking for a new wagon to fill the gaping touring shaped hole in my heart lol

I would totally do an F31 with B58 and manual.
My problem is that I don't want to sell any of my cars... and I would have to if I want to pursue a project like that. So, the first order of business is to win lottery, build a bigger house with a 10-car garage and start a wagon conversion museum. |

great work!
I'm swapping N54 from a 2010 335xi donor into my 2012 e91xi. I will swap DME, CAS, and Key modules. will this work without any issues or additional coding ? thanks in advance

The proper way is to get your factory CAS matched to the donor DME, which requires a special tool and software. It can't be done through WinKFP or anything like that. I had to pay for someone else to do it. The entire swap will require coding, I ended up creating a custom VO specifically for my wagon and coding all the modules to factory default using my custom VO.

I'm still dealing with coding problems, but my swap was more complex going from AWD to RWD. |

+1 for him, he's a great guy. He's the one who did my walnut blast too, cheapest one the area by far and does great work. It was awesome to have him so close in case I had an issue

Why when swapping the engine and trans do you have to swap the subframes? Why not just have a driveline shop build new driveshafts? Are the diffs bigger 328 to 335? I’ve done motor swaps on other platforms…e91 is a new platform to me. Thanks.

There's a lot of variables here. Generally you don't have to swap rear subframes as they're the same between 328 and 335. but there are a bunch of little changes between chassis and changes between diffs. Usually you can cobble driveshaft halves together, reuse axles etc..If you're staying auto to auto or awd to awd etc it's not bad. When you start doing things like me where you go auto awd to manual rwd everything needs swapped.
