So I have a cute little rock rig that I built almost 10 years ago. She has a reliable 4.0 that has proven to be an excellent power plant. Zero complaints
I have a customer of mine that owns a 2004 M3 that was a track car. As soon as I worked on it today he told me all about this LS swap he's about to do.
Soooooo I said well lemme snag that motor, trans and harness etc from you. He said sure.
Here's the pickle in my head (not my mouth). It's a DOHC 3.2L, makes it's 330 ponies up in the 8k rpm range and torque in the 5k area. It's a tighter package than the 4.0 and I could put it lower in my chassis. I could go much faster and feel cooler.
I have a toddler right foot. My 4.0 has been lucky to see 2k rpm in 10 years. Lol
So really my question is, would any of you guys do that swap ? If you're a BMW guy gimme some feelings on the animal.
