E39 Swap Guide
E39 5-Series · 1995–2004 — 183 pages · full customer-edition format · original vector appendix, 177 bookmarks and build records
E39 Swap Guide is a 183-page digital planning reference for a B48/B58 + ZF 8HP conversion into the E39 platform. It is scoped to E39 5-Series · 1995–2004, keeps each body branch's evidence separate, and states exactly what it covers — no universal fitment, no guaranteed-start promise, no invented torque or wiring claims.
What's inside
The full E39 customer-edition swap guide: achievable-project path, exact-configuration verification, controller-first integration, measurement and fabrication records, commissioning, and permanent as-built records.
Identity cards, measurements, retained-function contracts, commissioning, and permanent as-built records — print-first worksheets with traceability fields.
Every customer-facing statement is separated into documented evidence vs. the questions your exact build still has to answer.

No. It separates documented evidence from the questions your exact build still has to answer, and tells you what to measure before ordering parts.
No. It is a digital planning reference and record system. Nothing physical ships.
