    BMW M57 pairs with what gearbox?
    Does it need a transfer case for 4x4?
    What axles can support the power of the torque the M57 puts out?
    What ratios for the differentials if the axles are indeed upgraded?

    We’ve had lots of transits with the 2.4 and 2.2 and they’re bombproof

    What’s a rough cost for a m57 swap with all the other necessary parts/extras which may include brakes, axel/diff exhaust and transmission? etc for a DIY job, as I still would like to have all the best parts from Mahkar yet still get hands on and install it myself, would this be a service that you can provide. Also keep up with the amazing videos, love watching them.
