I have a 1995 BMW E-34 530i manual and I am looking to change the baby 8 3.0L from this year for an N-54B30 engine from an 2001 530i E-39. I actually run both types of 530 which I like for different reasons and would appreciate some idea on the complexity of such a swap upgrade

- what is involved
- Engine fitting with an E-39 engine in an E-34
- other parts and electronic form the donor vehicle required
- any problems or complications you might forsee

While I am not running a squadron of FW-190Ds:smile:, I like the idea of standardizing with what is a better more maintainable engine type
