Hello everyone. Hopefully this is the right place to talk about this.

I have a 2013 BMW 530i (N53) with a bad engine and transmission. I’m planning to swap in the engine and transmission from a 535i (N55).
Has anyone done this conversion before? What problems or compatibility issues should I expect during the swap or in the future? I’d also like to know what parts, coding, or wiring modifications might be required, and whether the swap is worth it in terms of reliability and cost.

Thanks in advance

Hello everyone, I have a BMW 530i that has engine problems. I would like to swap the 530i engine and gearbox for the 535i engine and gearbox but only if it’s possible, if not I can put the regular 530i engine which is fine.

Can anyone recommend where I can get the parts and a good and trustworthy garage to work on the car. I live in Abu Dhabi.

Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance
