S65 swap

[Ssspencer]

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
Spencer

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!

T'were a Z3 in 1999. Weight distribution was 70/30!
