Can a 520 turn into 530

[James?]

you will need the transmission, ecu, engine, and all accessories from the 530i SE. Most everything should swap easily.

can the transmission from the gearbox from the 520 be fitted to the 530 block and will this give a lower ratio?
Thanks for your help

different block, if auto you should be able to swap the bellhousing on the tranny

alas tis a manual box on both cars may have to butcher the clean white one to bring the tatty red one up to par seems such a shame as the the 520 is so tidy a car apart from hearsed engine!loads of service history and great body work.besides i just prefer white cars anyhoo!
