Brakes will probably be left alone for now. Will use the existing transmission and hope it stays together for a little while. I'm searching for a 6 manual trans. I may have one lined up.

Cylinder heads and intake manifold for the 540i are already lined up.

We did a 530i 5 speed to 540i conversion about 6 months ago so it's not the first time.

: To say nothing of the cylinder heads. Brakes also larger on 540.

: : Won't you have to replace the transmission and differential, to handle the extra torque? This seems like a very expensive undertaking.
