Swopping engines

[Redmex]

I have 2 Z4s , one a 56 plate 2.0 sport 56 plate and the other is a 3.0i
Other than the engine I much prefer the 2.0 to drive, the suspension is so much tighter and has the tidier interior with better seats. The grey colour of the 2.0 I prefer to the silver 6cyl
Is it feasible to get someone to straight swop the engine or do I renew all the suspension including a fair bit of rust to the cast stuff about the hubs etc on the silver 3.0. ?
As to the cost I welcome any rough costs or advice

You may well find it’s because of the 2.0 engine that the suspension feels better. I felt my 2.0 was a much better handling car than my 3.0si. Lighter lump at the front made it a lot less understeering and more nimble as it sits back a bit more in comparison to the 3.0.

Anything is possible, but it won’t be as straight forward as just taking the engine out of one and putting it in the other.

It’ll be a lot cheaper, and less hassle to refresh the suspension in the 3.0.
