2010 Pre-LCI F02 Tranmission Swap

[smartkid]

Happy New Year Everyone

The 6hp26 in my 2010 pre-lci 750Li (RWD) appears to be on its way out, and I am thinking is it possible to swap it with a 8hp70/75/90/95? The F10 with the same original non-tu n63 comes with the 8hp70 so it sounds doable.

Also, I noticed that the F02 (LWB) 750 has two different driveshaft lengths, used in both the Pre-LCI and LCI, and are non-interchangeable. Not sure if this will affect the swap.

26107562830 - 1867mm (what mine has)
26107631346 - 1870mm (From:09/01/2011 onwards)

There are also three different 6hp26 versions fitted to the Pre-LCI model according to realoem, and as with the drive shaft variations, also non-interchangeable.

24007610254 (what mine has)

I wrote to www.canformance.net which offers a plug-in TCU for BMW tranny retrofits, and their response was "All those transmissions, when taken from F- or G-series BMWs, will be compatible."

Any comment will be greatly appreciated.

I am in same boat, Pre-LCI F02 RWD and would be great to get a 8HP swap.
I presume the different drive shaft is due to transmission length is different, so definitely will be following this. Luckily these longer shafts are only 150 used on ebay.

I presume we will need not only the wiring harness for the 8HP but also the TCU module from CanFormance (since the wiring harness is not a separate item, or can be bought directly or used), so that's another 1500 Euro, unless someone knows something else i do not.

Serge from n63intake told me that he has seen someone done the swap before with just some coding. If that's the case we just need to sort out the traany and shaft length compatibility issue. Waiting for him to connect me to the person who did the swap.

Unfortunately, I did not hear from Serge yet, bumping this post hoping that more people will see it and jump in.
