Great engines! I have a e46 330d 204hp myself. Its the best m57 out there, the m57 306d2 engine. They are cheaper then the om606. And bmw box is direct fit. e60 550i clutch wil take 800nm. 306d2 engine has the r90 fuel pump from factory. This pump will push 500hp easy. Best engine to swap in anything. They are found in e46 e60 e53 and e65.
the 550i clutch wil take 800nm? Couldnt find those numbers confirmed really? The e60 m5 clutch wil not even hold close to that with a twin plate setup. So why would the 550i single plate setup hold so much more? Only clutch that claims 800nm is an aftermarket thing as far as i found.
Love it, the sound of this in front of a manual box is so much nicer. We've a 200k mile E46 with a working Step 'box still behind it & while it's nice to have the option of "manual" mode it's just never going to be the same as clutch dumping a good manual and getting the load on the turbo low down without the computer shouting "nein, ich werde für dich runterschalten"
I used to have a Fourtrak and I straight piped that using that solid flexitube stuff, cost me about £30 for 3 meters. I’ve a vid of it on TH-cam from years ago. It sounded the absolute bollocks 👌🏼💨💨 I’ll try and find it. Some guy filmed me and my Disco mates going through a flooded road in my town years ago
Hello from Russia, I have a Discovery 1996 with a 300TDI engine, I love it)) And if there is a SWAP for another engine, it will be on the M57. Thank you for the video!)
Sitting here with a subwoofer and it sounds verrry nice I have one of them, I'm gonna try put it into a P38 and then produce the mounts and sump, well that's the ambition anyway, its a while off yet.
I’ve only just watched this video but me and my best mate ben build this thing originally! The rev bounces alone bring back so many memories. If you ever want to sell it either me or ben would love to own it again
I had a 2004 e46 204 manual 330d, once the flaps, cat and egr junk where sorted along with a de-coke and decent map it was good fun, not in the same league as the monsters built here but the M57 is a great engine once you de-junked it. My heart wants an e90 335d but my wallet and impending energy bills say no. It would be great to see one converted to manual pump with proper squirters and snail..hint, hint 😂
Sounds nice. To do a donut with style. Flick the wheel the opposite direction while popping the clutch so you are holding it right to go left and you steer with the throttle and the occasional clutch pop to keep the ass end out. Practice in a larger area and you will get the hang of it fast.
@DieselumpUK Thanks for the awesome videos. :-) I'm considering to buy a crashed X5 on auction to swap the engine and gearbox into my YN65 Hilux. Do you know if I will be able to get a custom transfercase installed with the bmw auto gearbox? my gearbox wont like the torque of these motors
Now that's an m57 I could love. The rest here in the US are soccer mom and yuppie doctor wagons . Sad how discovery began catering to the yuppies and wimped out a cool history of design .
Put a 3" straight pipe and see how it goes. My old Nissan TD27 runs a 3" straight pipe that dumps under the passenger seat 1.5 meter from the turbo. Sounds sweet.
The Land Rover had put this engine from the production of the discovery… I have td5 manual and some time if road is uphill it’s starts difficult 😢 … Disco must have 200hp+ to be dignified…
Sounds like a mix of a 12v cummins and a jeep 4.0 . Love it!
Does sound abit like a Jeep 4.0 high output yes
Would love a parts list for everything we would need to do this conversion for a beginner lol sounds so good

@@gabbermaikel look at the website of sachs

This is the best diesel Chanel on TH-cam
My 335d puts out about 370 HP and 650 TRQ. Great little car. Still gets 37 mpg.
My X5 M57 likes 24mpg :)

Would be nice to see one of these engines tuned like the Mercedes’ engine in the Patrol. Would be very interesting 🤔

That's a lovely sound. Bit like a Cummins n Detroit mix. Well done bro
Sounds like a big lorry diesel with open pipe Great!!!💪💪💨💨💨
More please!!! also, please make some stuff for the m57!!😁
Agreed!
More tuned OM613 and OM648 content please! Dieselmeken seems to be figuring them out.
Yes please, there is a crazy build by Black Smoke Racing, but I can't find any parts for them that'll put out the power they have
melted a piston on my 613 still runs well though haha
best diesel channel on yt man
Damn that sounds awesome, Love one of these in my Discovery 2
It sounds nice but i still love better the TD5 sound in high rpm : th-cam.com/video/VP_MyyXnwLo/w-d-xo.html
Nice to see some BMW content on the channel!

Happy to see the m57 finally make is into a video
That brute of a diesel sounds beautiful!!
Do you prefer the M57 or OM606?
Отличный вопрос!
M57 is more accessible, Om606 sound better! 😎 I love both depending on my pocket
They each have there most suited application the m57 is allot better for low rpm torque but the 606 is very revy and sounds more like a petrol
M57 sounds amazing and produce fantastic down low torque
I'd say om606 as it makes them the most money 🤷♂️
Talk about the gear ratio when you do Swap, talk about your car and the transmission with the engine om606 Thanks
right in the ketchup 👌
I have a 530d f11, before we had a 535d e60. I‘ver never heard the Engine! 👌
It sounds awesome. Wish I could do that to my Freelander td4 m47, would be hilarious
Nice video ! I have this engine in my L322 TD6, good 6 cylinder !
Sitting here with a subwoofer and it sounds verrry nice
I have one of them, I'm gonna try put it into a P38 and then produce the mounts and sump, well that's the ambition anyway, its a while off yet.

I am also disappointed you didn’t keep the sandwich box ecu protection, me and ben wished that would stay with it for life purely because it’s funny
haha you did a nice job of it, how did you go about the conversion? is it still a r380 with adapter plate or did you use a p38 bellhousing? cheers.
@@fin-3381 p38 bellhousing with the original box, can’t remember the clutch setup as I didn’t help out with that part
@@SamMoto98 I've got a range rover classic that I want to do the same to, seems like p38 bellhousing is the cheapest option!
Sounds sweet just like a big rig 🚛
I have a 2006 BMW E91 325d with M57TU2 engine, 270 hp, it's great and fun to drive and brutal straight six sound 🙈🔥

Bro. This is what I need for my 1994 chevrolet full size blazer 4x4 .
Love it pal deffo need more content on this naught girl
sounds like a small cummins and i love it
Hi, great video. Can you share at what revs it hardcuts?
Exhaust setup???
What size exhaust is this beast running?
We got your point. You should try m57 biturbo.
i want to see more vids on this cleaning up the conversion noticed the new ecu box
Sounds nice.

Thanks Ken
Great sound !! 😁
This pile of bolts looks so good compared to the greenhouse edition with glass all round
Please make a 617/606 conversion kit for the Ford ranger 5 speed manual trucks?!?
Lovely nice job mate
So how would you compare the M57 to a M606 and which would you recommend for a Disco 2? AND- of course. what cost for all that's needed>
Sounds like a beast tht bro ...
On a fragile Land Rover mechanism. That was impressive. Now where did I put Ashcroft's number
What gearbox are you using?
@DieselumpUK Thanks for the awesome videos. :-) I'm considering to buy a crashed X5 on auction to swap the engine and gearbox into my YN65 Hilux. Do you know if I will be able to get a custom transfercase installed with the bmw auto gearbox? my gearbox wont like the torque of these motors
Love that car! What is the tyre size?
Sounds like a 5.9 Cummins that revs really high!
That sound is amazing
Not jealous of that sound at all
a discovery with the steel sides... never seen that before. i guess the UK farmers still dig the bread van look?
Switchin to Beemers?
Sounds awesome M57,OM606 best inline 6 diesels cummins is also awesome😅
toyota 1hz and 1hd sound fantastic too
How hard is it to do this conversion
M57 sounds nice but 606 idle sound its amazing
603 & 606 revving is music! 🎵
Do you still have this? Think this would be an awesome work horse
Would the OM606 fit in the disco
I would like a full run down on this swap very interested in this one for sure
amazing.... can this work on a disco 2 2002. 2.5td. what fabrication is needed and how much does everything cost?
Beautiful!
Now that's an m57 I could love. The rest here in the US are soccer mom and yuppie doctor wagons . Sad how discovery began catering to the yuppies and wimped out a cool history of design .
So would you choose the M57 over a 606 for a Discovery?
Snapped the crank clean in half on one of these engines as the rubber mounted pulley fell apart n Jammed on the block
Ouch
that recording with the back door open is so dangerous :O
Sounds like the tractors in the fields behind my house
Sounds like a V8 Patrol trying to climb big red, bouncing the rev limiter.
Epic 👍🏻
How does one do if you don't have a harness
Om606 vs M57?!
I want ONE!👍🏴
That sounds epic
M57 or td5
what are you revving it to?
Driver error that thing can definitely do donuts!
A bit of red line for a good time 👌mint
Put a 3" straight pipe and see how it goes. My old Nissan TD27 runs a 3" straight pipe that dumps under the passenger seat 1.5 meter from the turbo. Sounds sweet.
Are you going to start building parts for the m57
Manifold sand such
Have you got any more info on what's adapter plate is being used for the gearbox and so on..want to do this to my 200tdi discovery
There is no adapter it’s a P38 box.
@@DieselPumpUK which transfer box are you using
Whats the driveline consisting of? R380?
Please tell me the GMC Suburban has a cool diesel engine in it.
My old Nissan Urvan used to black smoke like that . Why was that I wonder ?
Was the plastic on the boot floor incase the bloke in the back shat himself
So how many diffs did it eat already? 😂
What gearbox and clutch is that using?
Super clutch from schuman brothers and a rock crusher gearbox
@@ianmangham4570 ok by rock crusher do you mean a M21 M22 GM trannies or something else so we from across the pond lol
@@minimule1 Fuzzy Wuzzy was a woman!
Who did the ecu ? I've seen plenty of standalones for the m54 but not the 57
Max wiseman does standalone ecu and harness for £310 sure there are others tho
The Land Rover had put this engine from the production of the discovery… I have td5 manual and some time if road is uphill it’s starts difficult 😢 …
Disco must have 200hp+ to be dignified…
Was it a ‘van’ from the factory to register it as a commercial vehicle, or has someone just plated where the windows were?
disco 1 commercial, factory judging by the lacquer peel
RD28 imposter 🤪
Weld that rear diff and she will skid like a dream!
Yay 😁
I think someone in the UK should make some parts for the m57 that are reasonably priced ....
Why is it in a 52 reg
with an upgraide turbo you can make 330 to 360 HP with the stock engine and a remap
Not on this model of m57 there are like 7 models m57 and the same amount with the n57 .
Naughty
Right in the ketchup
Man the 606 sounds soo much nicer
no its not
Adjust timing for some exhaust pop and flames 💥
Diesel fuel doesn't ignite like gasoline, you have to atomize it.
3:17 the sound is ‘speciale’…
Wow! What sort of fuel economy are you getting out of it?
🤣
