Hey guys, new to the F10 forum (came from E90), just purchased a 2011 535ix secondhand for a thousand, just has the small issue of having a seized engine (
![]() ALSO, was wondering would a RWD N55 fit fine into a AWD chassis essentially just plug and play? Any oil pan differences? Going with an N55B30M0 off a 2011 RWD 135i rn. Could find an Xdrive specific motor, but examples near me (in LA) seem like they would cost more for more miles. Apologize in advance if the forums had anything pertaining to what I asked, searched alr couldn't find it. |

You'll need to swap the oil pan from the old engine. X drive axle shafts go through the pan and the front differential attaches to it. But I think everything above that will be the same. In addition to what you mentioned, do all the cooling/radiator hoses while you're there. They have some years on them, and a total refresh will save you hassle in the not-so distant future. Maybe add on some new half-shafts, they're probably pretty close to being done. All new seals everywhere you can. Front suspension rebuild wouldn't be out of the ordinary, either. Take a good look at differential mounts, guibos, and rear subframe mounts while you have it up in the air. Spend the extra couple thousand and do it right. Then tip your mechanic a good 20%... because you're getting the deal of the year if your mechanic is doing this for $1,50, you're getting a deal!
