Z3 Ls or m5 swap

[Bensudan]

Hi guys

i have z3 2.8L , 2000 , automatic transmition , i have a swap project and i need your advice im planning to swap engine and make it manual transmition and change the diffrential .

what is the best swap ?
Ls swap ?
or
M5 E39 S62B50 swap ?

what is best ?

i heared from some mechanics that the Ls swap will make the wheels spins all the times on first second and third gears , which make thr car hard to drive ?

what do you think guts ?

You realize that throttle is not a On/Off switch?

As far as best - there is no such thing. It all depends on your needs/wants/abilities.

LS vote here, or at the very least an aluminum truck motor.
