crosspost: Is it possible to bolt in a rwd manual drivetrain to an auto xi e46 wagon?
Hey guys, posting this here as well as the general section, if that's allowed. Hoping someone can let me know the answers.
I'm specifically wondering if all the holes for the front subframe and everything will line up. I'm under the impression that the sedan and wagon are mechanically identical, so this leaves the question as "is it possible to manual rwd swap an auto xi e46?
Long story short- My e46 drift car is a rusty disaster. My dream is to turbo the 330i, swap it into a wagon, and have a sweet drift wagon. I found an e46 wagon that's an automatic all wheel drive car, with no rust, that I might be able to snag for really cheap.
Are all the chassis mounting points there for the rwd front suspension? The rwd front subframe? If I strip out the drivetrain of the wagon, can I bolt in the RWD drivetrain?
Keep it simple: half gutted '01 330i, welded diff, BC coils, SLR Super kit
