[QUOTE="BMW318CI, post: 734934, member: 45256"] Dear all, I have a 2001 318ci E46 that as been serving well since then. I am aware the M43 is a gutless engine and does not worth my money to perform upgrades. The best option for bigger power would be swapping in a straight 6 engine. My engine of choice would be M54B22, which most of the specs i can find is imported from Japan as half cut. I intended to swap M54B22 engine + ZF auto gearbox together. My concern is will the process is close to plug and play or still needed minor modification to the chassis? Appreciate any bright minds to shed some lights. Thanks [/QUOTE]
