    This BMW E39 M5 has had it's original 5.0L V8 removed, and instead sits a Toyota Supra's 2JZ Inline Six with a monstrous single turbocharger and a manual transmission. This setup is supposedly good for over 1,200 HP, though it is dialed back to 800 hp for road testing on pump gas. This build is insane.

      Muh Usm
      I absolutely don’t want to sound like a fanboy, but the E39 M5 didn’t have these issues.
      The E39 M5 didn’t have the rod bearing issue. That was the E60 M5’s concern.
      Vanos could start to rattle a bit with age (only audible when the hood was open). But absolutely not bad for the motor, it’s a cosmetic concern.
      The timing chain was a concern with American made M62 engines (found in cars like the 540, 740 and several other British cars). The chain itself lasts, it’s the guides that break. The guides life can be prolonged by making sure your chain tensioner is healthy (very easy job, you only have to get rid of the airbox).
      Also, BMW had huge problems back in the day with total engine failure in the American cars. Turned out to be an oil issue. The oil in Europe is very different compared to US oil apparently.
      BMW engines will be very unforgiving if you treat them wrong. It’s not a heavy iron-block engine. Treat them like your wife and they’ll be making loud noises for years to come :). Take care!

      No. One, any car modifier has a duty of care not to build something downright dangerous and of dubious structural integrity. That's what this fuckwit has done. Two, when you own a rare and desirable car (like an E39 M5), you have a duty to posterity, to pass the car on to future generations unmolested. By all means make detailed improvements, tweak it for a bit more power, but once you've swapped in an inferior engine and cut the shell to fuckery, it should never see the road again.

    • @henrykincaid6821
      @henrykincaid6821 7 років тому +193

      Richard Harrold dude, no one has a duty to do anything that isn't enshrined in law. Look, I get it, you like the E39 M5, but it's not your car, it's someone else's, and he's done what he wanted to do to it regardless of whether you approve or not

    • @richardharrold9736
      @richardharrold9736 7 років тому +5

      Even the US has laws regarding car modifications, and swapping in an older, less sophisticated (and highly modified) engine is certainly illegal in many states. However, an engine swap alone is easy enough to reverse. What isn't easy to reverse is the downright dangerous hacking about of the shell. Guaranteed this thing would not pass any kind of structural integrity test. This is why many countries have banned the modification of cars.

    • @cromulentparty
      @cromulentparty 7 років тому +68

      @daison96 7 років тому +2

      Richard Harrold My comment is originally about reliability, and I still stand by it. BMW motors may have been reliable many decades ago, but currently pale in comparison to Toyota.

    • @richardharrold9736
      @richardharrold9736 7 років тому

      "Currently" being the operative word. BMW has badly lost its way, and the current engine range is woeful. However, the E39 marked the zenith of a golden era for BMW, and the S62 is one of the toughest, most reliable racing engines ever built. It's still doing service in endurance racing all over the world for a very good reason - nobody has ever bettered it.

    • @daison96
      @daison96 7 років тому +1

      Richard Harrold Yes yes, such a great reliable engine, that's why BMW is still using it in their cars today--wait a minute! They're not. If it was that great and has never been "bettered," then it would still be in production. "BMW" and "reliable" in the same sentence is a grammatical error.

    • @richardharrold9736
      @richardharrold9736 7 років тому

      That's because all of today's BMWs are utter dogshit. The company has badly lost its way. The current engine range is woeful, with quantifiably worse economy, performance and refinement than their predecessors. The Bavarians have lost the plot. The S62 is a vastly better engine than anything currently in production at BMW. The Lexus 2UR-GSE is its truest successor in production today. The S62 continues to be used in endurance racing in preference to the current BMW engines because it's so much stronger, more reliable and nicer to drive. Nobody has ever made a 5-litre 400bhp V8 more reliable than the S62, and the M62 from which it was developed is well known for doing mega mileage without rebuilds. The S62 is certainly good for upwards of 250,000 miles.

    • @richardharrold9736
      @richardharrold9736 7 років тому

      The E39 M5 is rare enough to deserve preservation from alteration, but if the S62 had genuinely blown up (extremely unlikely, it's one of the strongest, most reliable engines ever made), I wouldn't mind an engine swap. If I had to go outwith BMW, I'd probably use the Mercury Racing SB4 (a quad-cam LS7). I wouldn't say no to the 5-litre Lexus V8 either. I prefer not to go into cross-brand swaps, but there are some good options out there. The 2JZ, however, is a regressive change from the S62. It's 40% smaller, it's heavier, it's got a longer, more flexible crank, and generally doesn't make as good a base for a high-power builds. There are loads of boosted S62s making north of 850bhp perfectly reliably.

    As a BMW purist... I totally approve of this car!
    It embodies the spirit of what this M5 was all about, being the world's fastest production sedan ever made in 2001. As a true car guy, he saw someone else's attempt and failure at that dream and is doing an amazing job at executing the project and finishing what the previous guy couldn't. Obviously I'm a fan of the original motor more but it doesn't matter, he didn't remove it 1, and 2 he's done extensive mods making it really its own unique M5. It's still a manual. It's still an M5. It's wide-bodied, It's purpose built, it has so much presence, and it's being loved, driven, & built by a car guy that truly gets it! Cheers man!

    @maxxjettfilms6322 7 років тому +32

    couple of things here, one is that the wide body shrunk the car visually, it looked like an extra flared e36. second is the potential power of the 2jz vs the stock e39 v8. A half mile built 2jz can make loads more power than a built/ boosted e39 v8 ever could dream of. cool car.

    • @richardharrold9736
      @richardharrold9736 7 років тому +1

      The S62 is 65% bigger than the 2JZ in displacement, and it's bombproof reliable. An 850bhp S62 will do hundreds of thousands of miles reliably. This thing will do a few thousand and blow up.

    • @maxxjettfilms6322
      @maxxjettfilms6322 7 років тому +7

      Richard Harrold i know plenty of 2jz engines pumping out in excess of 1200 hp reliably if built right. there are no bmw v8 engines that can say the same

    • @richardharrold9736
      @richardharrold9736 7 років тому +2

      A 1200bhp 2JZ is not reliable. 400bhp/litre, that's more a bomb than an engine. The S62 will certainly make 1200bhp more reliably than the JZ, it's got 65% more displacement. There are 850bhp supercharger kits with thousands of examples running as daily drivers no problem. You can't say the same of the 2JZ.

    • @maxxjettfilms6322
      @maxxjettfilms6322 7 років тому +9

      Richard Harrold displacement is not the end all say all in potential power and longevity, it's case flex. if you have a bottom end that is built to withstand flex, then you can make big power. Every block has its limitations, though some are higher than others. billet blocks solve that problem for huge power but cost huge money. depends on how much you want to spend. i know of several 4 cylinder turbo engines that make over 1000 hp if built right, once again, money.

    • @richardharrold9736
      @richardharrold9736 7 років тому

      Displacement is a big part of it, because otherwise you're running crazy amounts of boost and bomb-like cylinder pressures to make the necessary power. Straight sixes also have an inherent susceptibility to crank flex at high RPM, especially with a lot of boost. The S62 is a more rigid, more reliable platform for high-power builds.

    • @richardharrold9736
      @richardharrold9736 7 років тому

      I've stated repeatedly what's dangerous. Cutting into the monocoque to widen the arches, and no doubt cutting the firewall to fit the long straight six (the V8 E39s have a different firewall to the straight-six cars), cutting the front chassis crossmember (the JZ is hella tall)... this is not a safe car.

    • @richardharrold9736
      @richardharrold9736 7 років тому +29

      The stock M brakes aren't that great, and the V8 cars have a different steering setup, different firewall and different front crossmember, all of which will have had to be cut into to swap the JZ in. Much easier to start with a straight-six E39 and turbocharge that. If you must swap in the JZ, it will fit in the 520i much more easily.

    • @banboosy
      @banboosy 7 років тому +2

      I'm not too familiar with the E39, but I know on the E46, people will buy the M3 to start because it looks better, it has a stiffer chassis, wider stance, better components and a really nice interior. I'm sure they could start with a standard 3 series, especially if they're going to do suspension and brakes anyway, but it's really had to make the 3 series look like the M. I'm assuming it's similar for this build. Plus, I don't know if he mentioned what diff is in it, but when people swap engines into the E46 M3, they reuse the M3 diff and if you had a 3 series that'd be another thing on the shopping list. Though, if this guy is aiming for 1400hp, he's probably got a different diff in there anyway.

    • @richardharrold9736
      @richardharrold9736 7 років тому +4

      Dan, the E46 is a different kettle of fish as all of the shells are the same (within the specific body type) regardless of engine, so the M3 has the same firewall etc as the 318Ci. The only difference is the swollen arches and different bumpers. Not so with the E39 - the 'six and V8 shells are radically different despite their identical external appearance.

    • @borisdzhanamov7185
      @borisdzhanamov7185 7 років тому +3

    So let me get this straight. This Richard Guy watches a modified E39 M5 on what is arguably the definitive tuned car show, and bitches because it's not stock? What? Why is he here in the first place? The show literally revolves around driving tuned cars lol. I think he's butthurt it's an E39 (he mentioned he owns several standard E39s not an M5), and the fact that the 2J in it is far superior to the BMW units provided with the E39 chassis.

    • @richardharrold9736
      @richardharrold9736 7 років тому

      I like tuned cars, not wrecked cars. So, if this was a Dinan S2 with 75bhp more than stock, I'd love it. If it had an ESS supercharger on the S62 and was making 800bhp that way, I'd love it. As it's suffered a regressive engine swap and a hideous (and functionally/structurally questionable) wide-body conversion, I hate it. The 2JZ is a fine engine in its own right, but it's far from superior to the S62.
