Did you have to take anything off your axx engine to suit or was everything the same? How about the crank sensor did u change that? Thanks very much andy

He already answered your question. It's a direct a swap, no need to change anything

Thought you already had a BWA lined up? Don't worry about trying to match the engine code, I would be looking for a good lower mileage replacement.

I assume the 2004 AXX will be higher mileage?
