So, I'm sure plenty of you have heard of putting a 4bt cummins or a VW TDI in these rangers. I've even seen yanmars, kubotas, John deere, and a 3 cyl reefer engine done. But I've never seen or heard of someone swapping in a 3.0 turbo diesel out of a BMW 335D.
Stock Hp and torque figures paired with the good fuel efficiency of these engines makes it seem pretty attractive. On top of it all, it's one of few examples of an engine that was worth a hoot that BMW came out with
I was thinking if I could get my hands on a good donor car I could make the swap relatively straight forward swapping in both the engine and transmission. Try to use as many of the rangers oem sensors as possible to keep the dash working, while also using the BMWs oem sensors to keep the engine happy. Do any of yall think it's worth the trouble for the possibly one of a kind swap?
Ps, I weld for a living so fabricating mounts and stuff isn't an issue
