Engine swap packaging: offset versus driveline angle

I parked the 2023 BMW M340i and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. That's my plan before I call anyone.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2023 BMW M340i before a big repair or a big spend. That's where I'd start. Do that first. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2023 BMW M340i owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. Parts cannon is a personality type I try to avoid. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Thanks — that narrowed it. I'm going to try the simpler check on the 2023 BMW M340i first. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2023 BMW M340i, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. Stop there until you know. A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. If the story changes I'll post the new data.
