(Updates down below, Dec. 10)FOR SALE: 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ Now With Bonus Bavarian RageIf youve ever wanted a boxy old Jeep possessed by the spirit of a German engineer on a caffeine bender, this is your moment. The original 4.0 is gone; in its place lives a BMW M57 diesel that hits harder than your torque wrench slipping at 2 a.m. Its mechanically sorted, doesnt leak like a typical XJ, and pulls like its trying to escape its own chassis.Performance (or Hold My Beer)Its not modern-fast its apocalypse-tractor fast. Loads of torque, climbs like a spider on meth, and smokes anything that mistakes it for slow. Fuel economys shockingly decent for something that sounds like an angry industrial appliance.Comfort? Cute.No frills, no plush. Windows are your AC, seats are present, and it smells exactly like an old Jeep should. If you need heated cupholders or Bluetooth everything, this isnt your circus.Buy It If You Actually WrenchIve sunk more time and cash into this than I care to admit, and yes, the price reflects that. Dont ask if its available. Dont ask for my bottom dollar. Bring cash, bring a trailer, and bring the mechanical awareness required to pilot a diesel-swapped XJ without crying.Serious inquiries only as in: you own tools, know what boost is, and can talk about gearing without Googling it mid-conversation. Test drives only if you prove youre not a danger to yourself or my Jeep.No games. No joyrides. Respect the machine.On a serious note:She's not perfect, there are usage marks/small scratches & dings. A paint correction would go a long way. I pour 90% of my focus into the mechanical side of things.Headliner hangs a bit(typical XJ), but you can't see it from the drivers seat, nor has it gotten any worse in the 10k KM since the swap. No ABS, no AC, no Cruise.Why am l selling? I like building things, driving them afterwards is just the cherry on top. This thing is ready to go. I easily have 250+ pics taken during the swap.BTW in the parts list, '*' denotes 'used'. Otherwise, everything else was new.Edit - Listen, I won't bite(unless you ask me to...), price is fully negotiable.Update - Dec. 10:I've had quite a few messages asking for more info:This motor, M57D30tü(306D2) 204hp Euro4, came out of my E46 330d that l bought & used as a daily driver from late 2017(at 282k Km) until l pulled the motor in May 2024(at 396k KM) to complete this swap. During this time, l only tanked with Shell V-Power & used Castrol Titan FST 5w30(every 10-12tKm, although l recently switched to Shell Helix H8 5w40 on the last oil change, 174,xxx on XJ Odometer). This vehicle was properly cared for in my ownership.The swap was completed at 166,100 on the XJ chassis, the motor having 396k KM at this time.No, there's has been no Überholung on this motor. The narrowblocks are solid: no timing chain issues as on the later versions. The steel exhaust manifold has been replaced with a cast iron version, egr/swirl flaps/ews/ VSS(vehicle speed sensor) have been programmed out/deleted.The XJ retains it's original drivetrain(AW4, NP242, Dana35 rear). The AW4 is a tough transmission, capable of handling the M57's torque.The M57 is coupled to the AW4 using PMC Motorsport's 20mm adapter plate & flexplate adapter kit. Wariat Garage motor mounts arms & alternator/power steering pump relocation brackets allow the m57 to sit in the engine bay without interference. The topmount turbo adapter & oil feed hose are also Wariat, necessary to clear the motor mounts(which had to be 'prefabricated' for TÜV Eintragung).Speaking of TÜV: those of you simply asking for my TÜV Prüfer's info, l do not wish him to be flooded with calls from dreamers who are going to pick his brain/ ask how I did my swap. Hope you understand. We are all adults, do your research as l have done mine. As a native English speaker, l was able to figure it out & get it legal.
