    I am a member of USAA also. I won't be calling them either. I'm not made of money. These kinds of cars scare me. I can see lots of shop time for this.

    Oh come on guys the S54 is extremely reliable for the kind of performance it provides

    333hp, 8k rpm, ///M Differential and naturally aspirated. Valve adjustments arent that bad, most people do em every 30-50k miles. We did it at 30k and 60k miles on ours, and it really didnt need it. The car was rock solid from high teen miles to the ~80k when it was traded. And lets just say it saw redline often as well

    My $0.02

    I would rather put a header and twin screw supercharger on the motor I have now than to do an entire drive-train swap. But this is also my DD I'm talking about. If money were no object it would be different. I have the people to do it and do it well, its just way out of reach for me.

    I've done an engine swap before, on a much smaller scale (S50 into E30) and let me tell you, it is no small feat. It costs a LOT of money to do a swap like this, even if you're doing the labor yourself.
    You're better off getting a supercharger and call it a day.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    mYbuddy was trying to do a M3 motor swap into his 01 330i 4 door.....I think he was looking at 18K or so for a shop to do it. Crazy $$$

    I've done one on a much older and less complicated car before. I don't even wanna imagine what goes into swapping the powerplant/trans/rearend of a more modern car with like 8 different computers in it.... and that actually may be an extremely conservative guess.
