I'm looking for a partial roof skin. Anyone replace their roof to get rid of the sunroof and still have the front (windshield) edge? I'm looking to buy to repair damage caused by a dealer installed vinyl roof. It caused rot along the top windshield area and I only need that portion to repair my car. I will take a cut down skin to help with shipping and utilizing an old roof.

As a former '08 BMW 535i owner, I can tell you this N54 engine is riddled with issues. If you don't mind fixing oil leaks every 4 months, go for it. If you don't mind the electronic water pump and can get it wired correctly, do it. The trany is going to be an issue if you use the ones bolted the N54. Lastly, If you can afford the swap and don't mind the work, WOW! what beast it would be 330+ HP! Good Luck! Please DOCUMENT if you take it on. Someone like CX Racing might be interested in helping with the swap.

Thanks for all the great info. Can you give an update on your RB Swap project? It has been a while and I see on Instagram that you've done a lot.
