I would like to strike a balance between minimal part replacement and most powerful engine. So what do you think is the most powerful engine I could get without changing too many parts? Do you know the cost? It would probably be 535d or 540d at around 500,000-1.5 million baht (my best best would be 535d at 750,000 baht). Is my estimate correct?

It's too difficult to get the new even the second-hand engine from oversea country, due to the complicated supplying channels and process. Some automobile garage may say: YES, WE CAN DO THAT FOR YOU, but it need lots lots of money, not only 750,000 or 1 million but more than 2 or 3 million bath....I guess...

Moreover,replace the engine may causes the safety problem, you have to think of the engine compartment volume, gearbox matching, weight on the front and rear...Once you hands-on, there is no regrets, performance of the car could be worse.

what if you export your car to some other country, and buy another car with the engine you want, then re-vin it to your current car vin. then sell your old car abroad. then import the re-vin'd car to home.
