M3 E92 E93 engine
Hi everyone as some may know that I have problems with my Z3 2.8 which looks like the O rings need replacing. Which once this gets done I will be putting the car up for sale and go a head with buying a z3m.
Just thinking how easy would ihttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-M3-E92-E93-Engine-Motor-Coupe-Convertible-V8_W0QQitemZ170326150215QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item170326150215&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1689%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50t be to drop this engine into the m roadster
I have seen some E46 engines on ebay with fitting included into the price, I would believe this would be a more straight forward job.

surely the e46/s54 block would be fairly simple to put in as the updated version had the new engine?
putting an e92 in though would be a bit mental, why not go for the e39 m5 engine instead? probably more worth the effort? there was an orange roadster with this conversion done by ac schniztner i think?

I would believe the m3 E46 engine would be fairly a like for like swap and I would think drive chain and running gear would not need to be changed. As for the E92 I missed that there is no ECU with it which is definitely a head ache to replace and funds. As there some high mileage M roadsters out there it may make good sense to swap the old E36 to the updated E46, its only a thought running through my mind as a friend has an old MX-5 a 1992 model and changed the 1.6 engine to a mrk2 1.8 engine. Wow an M5 engine in a Z I would presume the engine bay had to go through a lot of fabrication modifications to accommodate that engine.
