WOW! Sir, I am in absolute awe. You have done a very amazing job with this conversion. A few of us e87 owners down here in Australia contemplated doing such a conversion (N54 engine/driveshaft only) but never put it into effect due to the cost involved. I am pleased to say I can die a happy man knowing some hatchback around the world finally has a n54 in it hahaha
I really wish I kept one of my e87's to do this project. I am still considering it to this day actually...
A few questions if you don't mind me asking:
- How easy was the engine to mount in? Was it nearly a 'plug and play' type thing?
- How about the rear axle, did this just bolt in?
- ECU... I figured you can transfer all of the wiring from a n54 coupe into the hatchback and not have to worry about doing any wiring work. Is this how you accomplished it?
Again, I salute you in this great endeavour of yours. *high five* for being the first person (not business) to achieve this
