![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
So here is my situation. I am a BMW enthusiast, and am currently in a 2000 540i 6SPD. I had it up for sale and have someone with a 92 SC300 with 2JZ-GTE swap with lots done to it. Pushing 416RWHP. Down side its automatic. 54K miles on it. I am in a 2000 540i with 183k miles but rebuilt motor, and entire cooling system is new, clutch and soo much more all OEM. Its a straight trade. What do you guys think?

He had the swap done at a shop who specializes in swaps. He has two of them and said he knows these really good. But from what I hear the 2JZ motors are solid motors, I mean compared to the 3.0L Inline-6 from BMW, they 2JZs are tanks. He said its well taken care. I want to do a compression test and check for leaks. Which are my biggest concern.

Its quick enough. Handles awesome. Just put a bigger rear end in it.
