Modern BMW 3-Series turbo inline-6 power for an older 3-Series

and automatic? ugh.

This.

[Wanganstyle]

neat, but why? wouldn't it literally be cheaper to just buy an E9x 335i?

and automatic? ugh.

lol at the steering wheel - typical HakkenTT. I also like the smashed strut tower, and god knows what else crap he did to make that all fit together.

His first introduction to hakkkkken swapping was:

A:

Use angle grinder to trim hellical vanos gears on m54 intake camshaft to use as single vanos camshaft

(I'm sure it stays balanced)

B:
re - using the rings from a m54b30 in a m50.




If that wasn't a clear indication of the r3vtalent to come........

This is quite the hak job...

This is quite the hak job...

im not familiar with his work but maybe this was just a preliminary setup? possible going to go back and make it right? I mean i might do something like that if i was experimenting with a new swap

[agent]

Because doing it twice makes so much more sense?

[Wh33lhop]

Hak job or not, he got it done and I want to drive it. Stick and less hack would be nice, but it's cool that he got it to work.

and automatic? ugh.

I don't see why you'd go through that much effort and keep it auto, and yes, what the hell steering wheel?


And on N54 vs N55, everything I've read on the topic has put N54 ahead of N55 as far as available power add-ons, and I saw one dyno with intake, downpipe, water/meth, and JB4 tune that was almost 500whp.

N55 obviously better design/reliability wise, but without turbo replacement, I'm under the impression it isn't as easy to make the same power.

[Vtec?lol]

Forget all that noise.

I'd save a ton of money and get one of these bad boys

Super cheap, easy to run stand alone and makes decent power
255hp 270ftlbs in a 355lb package.

I'll be ordering the ecoboost V6 for my OBS ford pickup this summer.

That ford motor is 1/2 of the power of a chipped N55..

Remember to also order a standalone lol

the ecoboost 4 cylinder full kit is $5850 and requires a standalone computer (not included). Buying the running complete car may be faster and only slightly more money
