Our BMW M5 Touring has a phenomenal V10 engine spitting out 500hp. But it has always been slightly let down by its automated-manual gearbox. Mike sets out to sort that issue by taking the car to Everything M to have its gearbox changed to a six-speed manual out of an M3. A 500hp, V10, manual estate car? That sounds like one hell of a recipe!

Just so you all know, NordVPN is woke AF
Yeah nord will sell your data faster than Microsoft or Google find a VPN based in Sweden or another country with strict data security laws.
Mondeo ST200 update would be nice
Lol awesome video. Congratulations on the transmission upgrade!
Ya encrypts your already encrypted data. F%^king Scam selling it 2 the average person.
Enzo's spin 10/10 havent seen spinning like that since Mazepin was in F1
LoL
Now your just spitting facts
I can not like or it will become un nice but 10/10
Hilarious.

What's going on with the V10 MX5? Haven't had an update in just under a WHOLE year??
Everyone like this comment. I also want to know
Tavarish is gonna finish it.
@@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13 So never then
@@mattmanslim they still haven't addressed that...
@@mattmanslim MAD closed down right?
*DIRECTOR/ VIDEOGRAPHER :* Well done, great touches in the editing, shot selection, funny Monk bits, fade to Le Mans, music choice etc. Well done those men. Or women !
I found the music parts were not ballanced in volume levels. Music is way too loud
@@daviddefortier5970 Thank you David! I thought it was just Me...
Sound balance is a bit off for sure, but otherwise Lucy Brown is doing amazing work.
I did a manual conversion on an S14 a few years back. Hard work, but very rewarding.
Lots of 10s for Enzo's spinning, much appreciated folks 👍
Great video guys! Mine is the other 'black' manual touring which they spoke of in the video (which incidentally is for sale). For anybody considering the swap - do it, you won't regret it. Best of all, you'll be in the BEST hands with Darragh and the guys at Everything M. I can't speak highly enough of his dedication to customer satisfaction and quality of workmanship. And best of all - he's a TOP guy!
Hi, how much was total cost for swap? Thank you
Enzo gets a 12/10 for his spins
Absolute masterpiece. Video production, the Content & the magical rod bearing spin 💕
Enzo's spin was great, even the treat acting like something being catapulted out of the engine when it catastrophically fails is a nice touch
As an owner of a white m6 v10 traction control off is a must. SMG is not as bad as people say on the road, city probably its where it shines less. 6 years and 40k put on it, beauty of a car.
Awesome!! I love that you guys have done this. I was once on a BMW training course and they had pre-production E60 M5's for us to play with. They said the shifting force needed to change gear in the auto box would need the equivalent of a 1.5 meter long gear leaver if it were manual 💪 Everybody loved the car, especially the sound of the V10 but hated the 'auto' box!! To this day its one of the best sounding cars out there, enjoy 😁
Great production value and top mechanic, looking forward to seeing the finale. Also cable ties, gaffer tape and bollocks is the best name for a band ever.
Erm, DSC off can be done though the MDM button depending on SW version
You can unlock traction control option on manual e60 M5 by coding tho
Darryl has mad Will Ferrel in Semi Pro not knowing what to do with his hands vibes :)
Gotta get James in, get Ben in, I guess Hammond paid for it so have him there too
Enzo's spins were paw/10... outstanding performance! 👏
ENZO 10 OUT OF 10, nothing like the smell of a proper garage and older cars being worked on, great video Scottie.
You can shut the DSC off. My manual e60 M5 has it, the dealer did the TSB.
Dara (I hope I'm spelling it right) seems like an awesome dude and makes this video awesome! Enzo of course is a beauty and would rate the spin 100/10. Amazing video as always guys, keep up the awesome work!
10:53 surprisingly the videography was quite nice at this part
Enzo is a handsome boy isn't he. More of him please. His spins are wonderful. Oh, and the M5 being manual is cool too 😉
17:12 boy this music sounds lovely
This was like one of the teaser videos on a adult site and it stops before the money shot. Amazing video.
This is the best modification you've ever done on this channel.
I just witnessed a Neo-Aztec-Saxon ritual of ripping out the old stick and then IT GOES IN DA TRASHHHH!!!
Enzo's spinny spin was a 10 and he's as beautiful as the car is. I like to see what James says about the car now.
I currently own an 08 M5 6 speed and absolutely love the way it drives compared to SMG M6 I had before. It is definitely worth having this gearbox to feel more engaging with much better reliability. Perhaps I’d get another SMG M5/M6 if proper DCT swap is released in the future!
shouldnt be impossible. saw a mk4 supra and R34 skyline GT-T with BMW DCT's
@@briangriffith3985 Yes of course it’s possible because BMW actually made a M5 CSL concept with DCT. Hardware wise is pretty much a bolt on but those who attempted had issues with coding. I’d really like to see a successful DCT swap! 👍🏻
The guy explaining the conversion is twitching like he needs the toilet!
Enzo is the star! Spin is easily 11/10. Plus goodboi bonus points!
please let James May drive it:D Great video, thanks! I'd do the swap after having driven it auto for a while
Now we're talking! I've seen a few E61 M5 manual-swaps and SMGs are proper trash.
"DSC OFF not available on the manual" time for MOTEC I guess
I think its so ironic that the the manual M5 was only offered in America while the estate M5 was only offered in europe. You build yourself the holy grail :)
That's badass manual
Enzo’s spin was absolutely perfect
The epic disposal of the SMG was awesome, well done.
Richard Harrold I meant taking it out of the car with the epic music and putting it in the trash.
I'm looking at doing a manual swap to my e61 530xi. My biggest concern was shown. The hole is there for the manual linkage.
Captain slow looks like a movie instuctor
Throughly enjoyed this, balance between the technical and entertainment spot on
Looking forward to next episode.. curious if you need to update DVLA log book.. ? (trivia I know)
So the Stig told you not to mess with the transmission but you know better....Makes sense.
Wanted this for ever! Have looked for a shop to do this for the last 5 years in Europe. No one could do this. Ended up selling the M5.
If I had known this shop before I would have 100% done the swap!
You should do the exaust, make that v10 stand out more, that glorious v10 with a relieble and engaging manual gearbox
Would loved to have seen smg to dct conversion
Did that on my sc300 and transformed the car entirely of course. Manual everything
18:27 that feels
Brilliant!! The ceremony....get rid off the rubberband
As the owner of a manual estate car, they are indeed the best way to go.
why opinion polls were against it weren't they
Loved the editing on this!
You can tell that Enzo is clearly inspired by BMWs, his 10/10 spin is even more spinny than BMW rod bearings 👌
10 of 10 spins.
This is so fun to see as someone who is in the tiny percentage of Americans with a manual.
You should have changed out the main bearings in that V10 when you swapped it. Might help it last another 5k miles. These engines are the running joke of the automotive world.
I'm curious...
Is it better to (just) buy a manual gear box car or buy an automatic gear box car and then convert it to manual?
is it absurd or this kind of tunning will actually improve the car's performance? Depending on the car parts of course.
Thank ✌
Look at you Mike getting all artsy
You need an Exhaust that V10 screams sounds stunning with an after market exhaust.
I’m a originality freak. But this is such a awesome upgrade! Now I want an e61 m5 even more.
All credit to the job done and videos so far its been great to watch... this M5 is getting treated properly unlike many others on TH-cam. So now to get the DSC so it will turn off or at least allow the M hero mode (because perma ON is a straight no chance for me having the conversion) and get some long tube headers and a remap to finish her off. Im still a little sad it didnt go DCT route because the manual ive tried on the E46 M3 and V8 M3 were both mediocre and had poor shift feel compared to say an old Porsche Boxter or Honda s2000
I hope no baguettes were harmed in the making of this video! 😆
Awesome video! Manual should be standard in cars especially sports cars.
Im a bit confused...isnt the SMG gearbox a 7 speed? Or is it only the sedan version? Or what am i missing?
Isn’t the existing v10 transmission a electro hydraulic transmission, in other words you just adjust that back to its manual stick shift. Why go after the m3 units.?
Why did their plastic bottles make a glass clink sound lol 😂
Herr STIG needs to drive this first. As for Enzo, I'll spin with him too ❤❤
Quite frankly all transmissions should be manual… it helps keep the driver’s brain engaged and helps prevent distracted driving…
Doesn't the E60 M5 use the same 6 speed manual found in the E60 545/550 ? Dont they have these in Euro spec cars as well ? Or am i missing something
3:00 give this poor man a joint, he'll die early otherwise O.o
10:54 Praise the Omnissiah
So you are aware you can de activate the DSC on a manual E60 M5. Yes there is no button on the centre console however it can be done from within the iDrive. (link to video which shows the options th-cam.com/video/XZ_gP-tfomo/w-d-xo.html) Might be worth checking if you have those options since the coding has been done, Everything M3 are a top place so 100% sure they will be there. I believe there was even a TSB from BMW to enable this.
Enzo should have its own show
Hello from Oz,
Enzo you star 10/10 golden buzzer.
Do a velocity stack kit.
Now let the stig at it.
Having experienced both I would say i love the smg over the stick. Nevertheless cool build.
BMW doesn't sell the manual gearvox for the M5?? What if you have an american M5 and its gearbox breaksdown. Where do you get the parts?
I'm missing something with the baguette's.... Can someone explain? Was hilarious though lol.
Enzo did a 12/10 job
Superlike for the Kenyan wristband Mike 🇰🇪🇰🇪
When you get tired of the Mighty M5.
Please let me be the custodian of it so long i live.
Its a Dream car i never Can buy
That a scottish guy with a full on tan? Isnt that a unicorn?
Enzo is the boss love that dog 🐶
could this also have been a subliminal Iron Brew advert 😆
I'd love to see how this sounds with headers that even out the exhaust pulses (so it sounds like it's even firing instead of odd firing like it normally is)
Who makes those headers? Infinity?
Not been able to turn of DSC is a big drawback of this swap in my opinion
Was there a part where you
add another pedal or was i missing some out?
10/10 for ten spun bearings!
Guess I'm the only person on the planet that likes the SMG then
There must be a way to turn the DSC on and off?!
I am so flipping glad that the old gearbox went were it belongs... in the bin!
10/10 for Enzo, clever boy!!!
ESC off isn't available?! WTAF!!! That would need sorting immediately for me. Awesome conversion otherwise, gagging to see how she drives now.
Anyone else noticed that the guy is bobbing up and down like Gordon Ramsay?
A V10 saloon or estate is a great rarity
Nice swap and is the flywheel the same as the old one and just the ring teeth for the starter motor different and is the clutch the same ?
I wonder if you can fit this with the 8zf in the 540i?
Chapter list would be nice.
Enzo was the star of that video, but I am biased when it comes to black Labs 😁, he gets a 10/10 from me
