Hi guys n gals.

so story goes I have a 2012 F20 euro M135i in from a friend with spun bearings. My plan is to pick up a used engine and swap everything over. I have a the opportunity to get a 2011 E82 135i N55 engine very cheap and on my door step.

will the E chassis engine be ok to swap
Into the F chassis car? All I will be using is the bare engine and I will swap all ancillaries over from F series n55 to E series n55.

Thanks in advance

So a 2011 E82 135i N55 was sourced and Iv swapped it into a 2012 F20 M135i.

Block and all mounting points are the same.
Needed to swap sump pan, crank pulley, remove hydro P/S pump, swap belt tensioner, remove one belt roller, swapped aux belt, swap motor mounts and brackets, swap AC bracket and add a little plastic cable tray/router thing on back on valve cover. Pretty sure that’s it off the top of my Head.
