2004 530i Engine In A 528i

[carlos 528i]

Hi, somebody know if the 2004 530i motor will fit my 2000 528i, and if so, wich modification will take using my old trainy.
thanks!

Wow. Well, I'm sure it would fit fine but good luck with getting all the computers and such hooked up right and working. I think it would be better to find an engine from an E39 (2001+ for the upgraded 3 Liter I6).

... or sell your 528 and get a 530. If you're not doing the upgrade yourself (or a friend), I'll bet it'll be a wash by the time you pay for everything...

THis seems like a massive waste of time and money. Unless your engine took a dive and you can get the 530 engine for hella cheap.
