Hi,

Yesterday visited a workshop specialized in transplant toyota engine into BMW cars...

Saw at least 8 BMWs in the workshop....

Quite impress & may thinking of getting one BMW for this purpose....

Basically they only touch on the engine itself leaving others in its original conditions.

Anyone driving of this BMW now?

Maybe u can share ur experience here...

P/S: saw one failed modded BMW there. Just arrived from Penang after the workshop there unable to continue the process.

Oh yes, rough estimation cost for the cost is around RM12k to Rm 14K depending on the engine model & CC....

one question, mod to toyota engine for what?

For cheap maintenance cost? spare parts easy to get? better FC? more powerful?

yeah.. same here.. why change to TOYOTA engine since u got BMW? downgrade? hahahahaahha OMG!!

I think they are talking about old bmw.

Who in the right mind would buy a new one to rape like that ?

Plus the comment about better fc and more powerful is pure bs.

try driving the new 5 series with its dual turbo >_< .

No toyota engine can compare to it. No way in hell.

yupe...definitely for old BMW....

cheaper maintenance cost, ez to get spare part, more powerful & better FC...

Mostly transplant with 1JZ

1JZ eh...old bmw folks always go for that engine

Sure la for those Old BMW... If u can manage to buy New BMW, y still change the engine?

Yup.

It is always the E28s, E30s or E34s.

Either with RB20s, SR20s or 1jz.

1jz ftw! more power, less maintenance

Not necessary an old bimmer. Some new models like the E36, E39 and E46 also been converted to 1JZ or 2JZ. Especially the IJZ VVTI model. Those craving for torque and Horse power will do that. the JZ families is a monster.

hi bro, mind telling where is this workshop? any link? i have e46, deciding to plunk other engine. still searching for good workshop than can do the job..

the workshop located at Seremban. It's near to Bukit Galena.

If you interested, i can bring you to workshop there provided u in Seremban...

You can checkout the modded BMW there & may test drive too as the owner & his fren owns few modded BMWs..

so u must be new to the mod world.. i agree with u but lots of ppl did this.. especially old bmw with toyota or nissan rb engine.

toyota what engine??... 3sge from altezza??..

For BMW most likely is Toyota 1JZ-GTE from the Soarer, Crown etc or 2JZ-GTE from the Supra.

i used 2 think that its crap!! but then again, i started 2 think again recently, n thought that it isnt such a bad idea.. less maintenance, better fc n improved power.. n if u go 4 the jz or rb series engines, u still get the straight 6 gudness!!

always contemplatin of gettin an e34 (my fav bmw shape) in the future, n puttin in a 1jz in it, the newer version wit single turbo n vvti..

yupe, saw one at workshop...

according to the mechanic, gear change is smooth with single turbo n vvti compare with twin turbo..

ya..one of my frend has old merc with toyota crown engine
