Im considering to fit the 530d engine into my 520d. Im just wondering what kind of things that i should be worry about and what is needed? or would it simply be fitting the engine itself n thats it?
what are the possible down side of this? any danger of breaking the car down etc?
btw, have ordered the quads so i will get it done soon. n pics will be up once its finished! the look is finally completed by the time the new 5er comes out ...

It's cheaper and way easier to sell this car and buy a new 530d..
It's not only the engine, you need to switch the radiator and the turbo radiator, electronics, and then you never know if there are any further problems with Idrive or electronics...
