I am sure you can since someone put the M3 V8 in it.
Just depend on how much $$$ you are willing to throw at it! The possibility are endless if you have an endless stream of $$$! |

Why not just buy a 135i then. There are supercharger kits out there for 120i if you're interested. Otherwise save your dosh.
Or if you are keen on swapping, do something like the S65. |

The cost to turbo your engine, set up a intercooler system, sort out the exhaust system, fit a oil cooler system, sort out the engine management system, replace the radiator, upgrade the brakes, and fit an LSD. $18,000.+++
To supply and fit a N54 engine and trans wiring and so on you would start with a front cut, fuel tank and pump,labour and assorted extras $26,000 +++ SO DO NOT DO IT take the loss and trade in the car on what you want, and go from there with your mods |

I suggest some light weight 17" wheels, such as the dforce 17x8" ET40 from **********s or bavauto. That's probably the best performance gain you can get for a 120i.

Speaking of the M135i, any ideas how much it'll cost? Will the Hatch be cheaper than the Coupe? (70k?) Also it seem awfully close in spec to the current 1 Series M Coupe....... do you reckon it'll be a bargain in disguise? Definitely the hottest hatch on the planet and the only one with rwd! |

F20 looks like a dog's arse IMO. Dunno why you would bother with engine swap when you could just buy a 135i for much less after trading in your car
