I have been searching for a new daily, but its hard to get excited about anything for the money I am willing to spend. I want something fun and interesting but still mostly practical. Civic Type R looks fun, but I don't know if I can get past the huge rear wang. Golf R would be great, but I cannot live with all the haptic controls and the absurd infotainment system. I am thinking my old E91 would be a lot more fun with a manual, but I have not found too much out there regarding a manual swap. Anyone here ever manual swap an E9X with an N52?

Old, not obsolete. -
E91s already come in manual, so it should be pretty straight forward, is it xdrive?Originally posted by D-O View Post -

Thanks neighbor. I have also run across this: https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1802322
Lots of good stuff in both places, but I am hoping to communicate with someone who has done it.

The coding part is pretty easy.- Change VO with NCSEXPERT to remove the automatic, option $205, and write this to CAS and FRM.
- Code factory settings with NCSEXPERT to DME, DSC, CAS, FRM, KOMBI, ACC, LDM, etc modules
- Flash DSC module using WinKFP
- Flash DME with manual tune using WinKFP
It also looks like https://www.bimmerlabs.com/ can help you with the coding of the DME if you don't want to do that part.Comment
