Could you swap an n62 4.8l v8 from an x5 into an 06 530xi touring? They're both x-drive, but could the 530's drivetrain handle the v8 power? Also, would the swap be remotely possible without completely re-fabricating the entire car?

Also, not looking to lower the suspension or convert to rwd. A stick shift 4wd wagon is my ideal configuration, because I drive in the snow a lot. So if a v8 would overpower the xdrive of the 530, I'm not interested. Was just daydreaming.

Many people make a lot of power with the N54 engine in the 535, so the drivetrain should handle the extra power no problem.
