Also parts > to make my car faster is insanely expensive as I’ve said over and over before, Cams = $3k+ cams for ls1 = $500, pistons for my car = $2k+, pistons for ls1 $400-700? Supercharger for my car $8k MINIMUM, ls1 = $3k… I originally wanted to swap an e39 m5 motor into it but tghe motor itself is around $8k and it takes MORE modification to fit That motor in then the ls1… In fact my mechanic told me today they make a kit for it with custom engine mounts and all… > > Someone said its such a waiste of money to swap a perfectly good motor out as if im throwing it away or something? lol… I will probably sell my stock 540 motor for MORE then im buying the ls1 motor for, how is that a waiste? lol… Cant say that I have the skills to swap my own motor out, but I have a brain and know how to build a cost effective swap. pretty much what you estimate its going to cost, double it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/love4boosts-2000-bmw/255626)._
