4.8l swap into a 3.0i?
I just got a 2002 X5 3.0i and I have a 2000 M5, I'm really like the X5 and thinking of selling both and getting a 4.8is. But I was also wondering about just swapping a 4.8l engine into my 3.0i. Has anyone done it before?
Anyone interested in trading their 4.8is for one/both of my cars? Besides looks and engine, what is different on the 4.8is? Probably better off just getting one instead of doing a swap. Someone buy my M5, or trade me! |
Ive been looking into swaping an LS based powertrain in my x5

And the obvious cosmetic details.

How much are you looking to get for the M5? and how many miles?

Thinking about $15k coming up on 112k miles.

Im building a conversion kit this winter/spring should be available early summer. Engine Mounts, Transmission Mounts, Shifter, and Custom Headers. Im probably going to run a LQ9 Built N/A or LQ9 Turbo. There is so much engine bay space its crazy. |
For what it costs to do a conversion, wouldn't it make more sense to sell the 3.0 and M for as much as you can, and just buy a 4.8? Like JCL had alluded to, you'd have to upgrade sooooo much to get a comparable 4.8....just get a 4.8. It's worth it. :)
222,222 miles!! You da man!! |
