My Ride: 2004 530i
Default Possible engine swap?

Hey everyone,
I have owned my '04 530i for a few years and am planning on putting in a newer engine sometime I the next year or two and want to hear some of your thoughts. I was thinking of putting in a s55 with the turbos. I know it's going to be a lot of work and money but I want to put a newer BMW engine it rather than an LS swap.

Its gonna be a lot easier if you go Bmw. The new s55 engine isn’t offered in a 5 series, so you’d be the first to try to wire this thing in. It’s an old chassis, even the 06-07 are different. It may be a lot easier if you don’t have idrive to worry about.
