nice contrarianism
don't forget to tip your fedora on your way out
literally nothing wrong with swapping a 335i engine in a 316i if you come across one for free

literally nothing wrong with putting a 335i engine in a 320i if you come across one for cheap

Unless it's the N54 instead of the N55, then you're an idiot.

how so?
I've got a 2011 128i, and I was thinking of dropping an LSx, or an BMW S65. I like my current engine and it only has 33k miles, but I have a strong desire for dick burning torque.

For reference the engine is an N52.
I've got a turd gen that originally had a 302 and a cylinder was dead so i swapped it with the 350 the iroc and z28 had. Mines a sport Coupe and I think it's better because it doesn't have the trashy body kit but they don't have a 350

>Dick burning torque
Easiest swap would probably be the twin turbo six that came in the same chassis.
E85, big single, supporting mods and you would have all the dick burning torque you could wish for with alot less headache than swapping motors that didn't come in that chassis
