M54b30 from 530i into a 330i


Tkuhn

Question

Im failry new to the bmw scene and i just purchased a 2001 330i with an engine that decided to eat a cam. Intake cam on cyl 4,5 and 6 was completely dry and cracked the rear 2 cam caps. I picked up another m54b30 that was from a 530i. 

I know that I will need to swap over the oil pan from the 330i engine along with the engine mount brackets. Is there anything else that will need to be swapped over that I may have missed in my research? The intake manifold on the 530i engine has a positive battery post on it whereas the 330i does not and im guessing thats because its mounted on the passenger side of the engine bay. Will i need to swap the manifolds as well?

 

Thanks in advance for any info!
