I need to tune my car?

I have a BMW 320i E90 2009 170 hp, if I need to tune it by replacing it's engine by a 400 hp V8, what other modifications in the car (Transmission, suspension, differentials,...etc) should I make???

Please don't tell to sell the car and buy another one, my main purpose is to know the necessary changes in a car after tuning the engine

Update:

From lala land, thanks for asking

Update 2:

When I said "it" in the details I was referingto the car not the engine, I guess a car can be actually tuned by changing the engine, right?

Update 3:

The tuning of the Merc SL by Brabus included changing the engine in a bigger one (V12)

    Tuning an engine refers to making sure the components of the engine and not worn. It refers to replacing wear items like spark plugs and high tension wires. You don't change an engine to tune it.

    stick to the maintenance schedule on your proprietor's instruction manual. it's going to inform you what to do and whilst to do it. you do no longer say once you are the unique proprietor of the vehicle or no longer. in case you're, you be conscious of what centers have been finished. If no longer, take it to the community broking and enable them to advise what centers might desire to be finished. consult from them. locate out what's due and how plenty it is going to value. provider writers (or provider advisors) are a large source for preserving your automobile in tip-perfect shape.
