There may be exceptions but I haven't heard of any swap that isn't some level of nightmare due to harness, ECU, exhaust etc. etc. differences. Suggests quite high level of DIY knowledge is needed. I think it is best to mod to the max the devil you know.
There was a thread some time ago where someone was swapping in a LS1 Chevy engine. Last I knew it was still in progress.

I totally agree with bcredliner, way easier to mod what’s there vs an LS swap... but it is possible, though I’ve never seen it done maintaining the all wheel drive and I love my all wheel drive.
YouTube: https://youtu.be/0LSmgADlT6M Couple guys on there have done it, and they do run, one dude even claims “all wheel drive” but I’m not buying it.... |

I mean I would be attempting the ultimate swap, because I’m a rotorhead, so I would swap mine with a 13B-REW wankel, yknow just so I can have that unique one of a kind car that I have always wanted!

Interesting swap, not being a monster sized V8, if you could pull that off you might be the first guy that I believe kept all wheel drive. Send pics if it happens |

Also one other question, have any of you turboed an N54? I had concerns about cracking the block since it’s got 200k miles on it. Any ideas?

N54 is already turbo'd. You mean N52/3?

The E53 X5 never had an N54 in it... they came later...

Ohhh... that makes more sense. I thought you were thinking swapping in an N52/53 and then turbo'ing that. In my head I was thinking that seemed like a lot of work over just turbo'ing the M54.
I'm sure there is lots of M54 FI info on e46 and E39 forums.
