LS Swap e85 vs e89 differences

[mrat3d]

Hello everyone looking at getting another bmw and looking at the z4 I would like to get a e89 and I plan on immediately swapping out the engine to a ls, I see kits for the e85 as far as mounting the engine etc but none as far as I can tell for the e89, is there a ls swap kit for the e89 or would I have to fab one myself, just trying to take everything into consideration before I pull the trigger. Thanks

They don't sell the kits the message I got from them was "we offer turn key ls swap solutions sorry we do not sell the kit alone "

If anyone else has any information on this I'd appreciate it I'm wondering it the z4 e85 kit will work with the e89? Hopefully someone will chime in

I doubt it. Although the later E85 shared the same N52 engine with the early E89, all the mounting hardware is different.

The Ultimate swap that I've seen is a Russian guy I believe with an S65 engine, looks so so factory original.
