Hello, all, i am new to the x5 world, i had nothing but 3 series, and a bunch of e36 M3s.
Any ways, i got this nice project 2004 4.8is X5, and its got a bad motor in it, i am working to fix it, but i have an opportunity to get a 2002 4.6 x5 with lots of Dinan stuff
So my question is HOW HARD IS IT TO PUT A 4.6 ENGINE in to the 4.8 X5, What would be the best easiest way of doing this if its at all even possible? Are blocks the same by chance or is anything interchangeable? Cause like in e36 the 328 2.8L and M3 3.2L is almost the same, same block and head just the cams are different and rods are different, even the ecu and all the electronics are the same! and its a .4 litter difference between the two, here its only .2 difference, i am hoping its similar thing. is it so or anything similar in this case?
Like can i drop the engine in and use the same electronics or harness or anything like that?
thank you so much!
here are pix of the 02 x5 i want to get to use for parts, whats the most i should pay for it?
