The e53/m54 would easily be half the effort of e70 n55 swap.

That thought has crossed my mind. The problem is this is my daily and to take it out of use would mean getting a rental. I'd also probably need to do it on nights and weekends. Not sure how much time spread out like that it would take. How long did it take you to do your n55?
