modz 151 Report post Posted March 16 Yes, this not financially viable but I have other reasons to ask. Current car = 2013 118i DCT. Want to swap it to N55 / DCT. After a lot of research I've landed on getting either a complete wreck (which is a pain because I can't store it) or get a complete N55 / DCT / ECU / TCU from a running wreck. I can handle the install, cooling, power steering etc and plugging in but is there any other wiring / coding to consider if it's a complete drop out and drop in swap? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harper 595 Report post Posted March 16 @exextatic would be the guy to ask for a swap like this. Probably would be some wiring and coding required for full functionality. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charles28 138 Report post Posted March 16 DCT? pretty sure your 2013 118i is 8HP auto and the only N55 with DCT is from the M2, the rest are 8HP. I only know of people swapping the N13 to B58, but I guess if that has been done then N55 should be do able, wiring part shouldn't be too bad though, some coding of certain modules might come up.

modz 151 Report post Posted March 17 Yep 8HP in both. I mean DCT to clarify its not 6HP auto. A B58 would be mega but still very pricey over here Interesting to learn the 8HP bellhousing is slightly different on the 4 cyl vs 6 cyl even though they're the same box ID.
