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?

Yeah, will depend on how it's been treated, any service history with it?
