128i S65 Swap
I’m coming over from the E9X section to the 1 series forum. Got in a unfortunate accident in my E92 M3. I just picked up a 08 128i and I plan on transferring my E92 drivetrain into the 128i.

All the work you did to bring the M3 back to life and then rebuilding the engine was incredible. That accident looked crazy! Glad you're okay. Can't wait to see how this swap turns out, it should be awesome when it's done.

E92 harness is in the 128i, as soon as the raining is over I can move to the bottom end!

Didn’t get to do much with all the rain we been getting. Rear subframe is out, decided to go with Turner Motorsport solid mounts and OE bushings.

Why I am waiting on parts, I started to put the interior back together.
Is The E92 M3 Subframe Repairable?

This thread is AWESOME. Just cruised through your old thread too, amazing job rebuilding the S65. What a rollercoaster. You work fast, man! I can't imagine all that you've learned from that previous project. Glad you're OK too! Can't wait to see how this one turns out.

cerealwars thanks appreciate. Been busy, I managed to get the engine and subframe installed over the long weekend. I decided to go with the E92 dash.

It was great to hear this thing fire up. Still need a couple more parts to have this thing rolling!
