E87 engine swap
Hey there, looking into upgrading the engine in my e87 120i - should I get a N54 turbo straight 6 or a M3 V8. Has anyone done that? Any idea which one would be easier?

I have to recommend a totally different engine : the 3L V6 from the Jaguar S-Type. It is a great naturally aspirated engine and sounds incredible. Some say that it is unreliable but it isn’t true.
How about the engine mounts? Flywheel? Too much custom stuff ?
If you want to swap in the n54 just go buy a 135i. It will cost a lot less. Although the n54 is not the most reliable, n55 would be better
