I guess its possible, but wouldn't that sort of be decreasing the value of your car?

[inark]

ive seen pics of Beemers with SR20s... and one with an off its nut rotor... dont see why you couldnt... anythings possible.

except for a man eating his own head.

Anything's possible with the right budget.

Why not find a wrecked 750i or something, and drop a V12 into it?

my bmw was a 328i convertible that had had a complete m3 overhaul....

engine, running gear, body kit and dash are all original m3 and it has increased the value of the car significantly.

id be looking into doing something like that, an e46 is a classy car, you will f**k it up royally by throwing a nissan engine into it.

yeah nah - bad move that one

value of car goes down

[GorGasm]

definately a terrible idea for an e46.

BMW v8 or turbo the current engine FTW.

There's a guy in Qld who dropped a RB20 into his E36 318i...have a read here.

Best of luck with your project anyway

What model is it? Are we talking a 316ti or a 330Ci, coz there's a big difference from one end of the three series scale to the other. Anyways, I've seen an E36 with a 2JZGTE, so one would expect the E46 to swallow it also. 2JZ is better than RB anyways.

nah man i'd be happy to have a rb30 in there ay.....its a 318i so it'd take a bita work, but i recon if i work long enough and spend enough it'll fly....but im curious what the laws are in regards to me doing this ay

Drop another motor from another BMW car and its not going to give it much extra value either being custom so the point is null.

[350z]

as said previously - just turbo the current engine - smartest thing to do.

[ctjet]

smartest thing to do would be NOT to fcuk with the car in the first place

A while ago i recall seeing a Black E36 BMW 3series running a RB25DET pumping around 400hp@wheels! it was selling for around $25,000 don't remember what happened to it though.

E46 + engine swap to another make = stupid.

E36 and earlier, because the value of the cars is lower now, I would still

look at in house BMW engines over a 20 year old nissan boat anchor.

Change of engines will just make it a bloody headache.

Best conversion I've seen in Australia is the late E36 M3 Evo motor (3.2, basically the same as the E46 motors) into an E30 325i chassis... that was farkin quick.
