Sell the 520d and buy a 530 or 535d! What you spend in labour to do the change and the difference between buying the engine and selling yours should be roughly the same as selling your car and just buying what you want...

If you tell your insurance company youve put a 530d engine in your car theyl definitely raise the premium, will probably cost you more than if you insured a 530d... Unless you were thinkin of swapping your engine and just not telling them lol... post up some pics of your car... Is it a Mconversionz car?
