Hartge Z4 N54 Swap

3002 tii · 10-05-2010, 05:12 PM

Always wondered if anyone could/would do a n54 engine swap in the non-m e86... I guess this answers my question:

http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/05/t...e-biturbo-z30/

Btw - has anyone actually seen that front lip for sale? I've seen the other Hartge bumper/lip on the pre-facelift roadster but never actually seen the one in the link above.

$110K? I would be buying an R8 for that kind of coin....

Blind32 · 10-06-2010, 03:58 PM

and you wouldn't have to worry about HPFP

I respect the work they put into this!

Let's see. How many 2006 Z4M's can I buy right now for 110K? 4? 5?

ZStig · 10-06-2010, 11:57 PM

interesting how they fit 295s in the rear

esqu1re · 10-07-2010, 08:53 AM

Still rather have my ///M. =)

We aren't criticizing you, just wondering why anyone would spend the money for this car. Makes no sense with what is available for $110K...

007MCoupe · 10-07-2010, 09:37 AM

seriously though...what front bumper is that?

SteveInfante · 10-08-2010, 09:01 AM

I like the bumper too. Looks like mine but with little bits added like the center vert bar and the side lips.

id believe they could get a little more power from that engine, 4.8 is not too much gain after all that work put into it

BMW-SRT · 06-16-2020, 10:52 AM

Reviving this super old thread, last year I bought my daughter a 2006 e85 Z4 for her 16th bday, I recently did a complete suspension refresh on her car and I have been driving it more and more, I really like the platform and thought to myself, this would be a really fun little car with more power.

I did a google search for a n54swap into a Z4 and couldn’t find much, I did see the 2Jz swap which opened my eyes to the ECU issues, I would think the N54 would swap in easily into the Z4 but the issue would be the N54 DME.

Well if anyone has a link to someone or a shop that has done it, would be greatly appreciated…

I dont get it , Many publications posted the M 0-60 at 4.9 seconds. Top speed of 177 unlikely and irrelevant. I was ticketed for 50kms an hr in a 40km yesterday!

BMW-SRT · 06-18-2020, 01:53 PM

this guy swaped a n54 into a E36, he was able to get the N54 DME working, looks like its possible!

Lol. If I was buying a P-car it would be a 718 Cayman GT4. I don't care for the current 911's.
