S65 swap

Post by Ssspencer » Fri Oct 28, 2022 5:56 pm

Hi,

I have recently required a e92 m3 and I’m looking at swapping engine and ect transmission into my e86 3.0si coupe. Has anyone done this on here? Would the subframe fit ect

Thanks in advance

I have a vague memory of BMW putting the V12 in a Z3/4 so I've no doubt it's feasible (BMW love modular design) but they did end up with a very nose heavy car in doing so (65/35 or something) which rather negated any power advantage!
