Sounds like a fun build ! LSD conversion would be a must, couldn't stand the diff on my 435. My current goal now is to buy a salvaged M2 or X4M40i F26, off an auction, part it out and hopefully just transfer all working engine components to my 435. Wish me luck ! |

My advice, go on spool street forums and have a word with some folks there. More "build" oriented there imo, or jump over to the f80 group, some people there have gone full build. |

My other option is to rebuild another N55 running core, with a few upgraded or replaced internals and maybe a forged crank. I want to be confident with my next block. |

So much like b58, you'll be left with sleeves to run new pistons, the other thing is I've seen someone before upgrade pistons, that used oem rings. He was able to reuse his old rings carefully to not mix them up, and didn't have to do anything with the cylinder walls. I'm hoping you get lucky and it's not the case and there's an easier solution. A spun bearing is recoverable, but the engine should be torn down to remove any metal shavings including oil cooler and lines etc etc. I'm very curious to see where this goes. I'm sorry for the misfortune but this can be pretty damn rewarding at the end of it. |

They're cheap, tons of support and can get you high horsepower output.

Have decided to drop in a 16' m235i engine in! Not the best outcome but definitely within my budget, caught it at 50k miles, basically going to be a drop in play, a bit of coding might be needed for it to run properly, nonetheless I still intend to swap the oil pan for a s55 oil setup, baffle, pickup and secondary pump.
I do not want to go through this again! Will keep this thread updated. |

Sounds like a very reasonable deal, and finally someone who gets down with a wrench, hell ya! I love working on these things, built a full blown e36 track car in my garage, 2 m52s lol, I'm excited but not too excited to build this further |

Engine is on the way! I will begin installation this upcoming weekend, or once it's received, will keep thread updated.

I'm debating if I want to mess with them or not, but I definitely have been eye balling the mmr sump. Mmr says they have tested it on track no issues It's nice how simple these engines are when you get the wiring harness and Intake out of the way. |

Awesome OP!
But you should check Car-part for engine deals (with a warranty) https://www.car-part.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi 5K M2 engines all day.
