    If you want to do a fast engine swap on a bmw... just unbolt the whole front suspension as a one piece (struts, brake line, 4 bolts for the front support bar, fuel lines, throttle cable and radiator pipes) with the engine and gearbox (all supported by jackstands) and then raise up the car... you had to disconnect the brakes anyway because you were changing calipers... :) this is much easier and cleaner approach - no need to even take out the radiator and no fiddling with the crane, then swap the engines on the floor (again no need to disconnect the gearbox from the engine) and lower the car again, bolt on the front support and struts... :)

    LOL, having done this swap myself the challenges experienced were no surprise to me! One good thing about this is that most of this work sets you up very nicely for an M54 swap. And frankly the M52 doesn't hold a candle to the M54 in this chassis
