hey guys ok so i was in school today and i had a weird thought about how everyone is lookin for more power out of there tis.
so i thought of the 335i and thought would it be possible for that engine to fit into our cars??
just a thought but it would be really cool since people have put LS1s into Z3s. __________________ Greg

If its a pain in the ass and very expensive to put an e46 engine in the e36 chassis, im quite sure its the same for the 335i engine. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

I can't even imagine how difficult it would be to retrofit all of the sensors that the modern BMWs have into the 'ti. We know the e46 motor is doable, but a LOT harder than the e36 motors. I would think that you would have a lot cheaper/easier time sourcing a Euro S50 or S52. My 135i has been sitting in NJ since Sunday. I can't wait to get it, but they are probably going to hold it for the next month until the North American 1 series launch on 3/22.  I can't wait to compare it to the 332ti, cuz that car is fasssst. __________________ 1997 332ti - Don't even ask.

It's possible but a lot of time and money. The entire engine and vehicle harness from the 335i will have to be installed or graphed onto the E36/5 chassis. Special brackets will have to be made as well for the transmission if necessary. Custom driveshaft and possible custom shifter assembly.
Probably still better off doing the LS1 conversion or the S52 with a turbocharger setup. | | | | | |
