@@hussamjamil4980 I agree with that tho but that is because I like N/A engines, too bad getting power out of it that way is so expensive, therefor I get supercharging it but if I had the money back than (I owned 2 of these) I would have build that engine like I build my vr6 TT engine I drive now. So much money went into that and it still ain't even that fast, would have been faster and much cheaper if I just turbo'ed it but there is just something about N/A engines idk, the lineair power band, high revving, the sound, the gasrespons and just overal reliability.
Being an owner of an insane supercharged 2002 E39 M5 for 10 years now, this video still gets my blood going. Thanks for the footage, very exciting to see other e39 m5 cars similarly built to mine actually being driven the way they should be.
Eric how's the reliability been? What boost and hp. Got pistons? I have an m5 and e30 with an s62.. somethings getting supercharged haha, Any tips to keep everything running smoothly? What kind of problems have you had?
@@slick408 Reliability is great, car has never left me stranded. About 11 psi boost with the 2.95 pulley and I'm not exactly sure were I am with power, but based on the car putting down 590 hp at the wheel a few years back before a lot of the fine tuning was done, I would put money on it being somewhere in the neighborhood of 650-700 WHP. I'm running the RK Autowerks V3 Vortech intercooled supercharger setup. Stock internals but just about everything you can bolt on has been done to my car. Make sure to change the rod bearings and if you run over 600 whp, plan on upgrading the transmission as the 2nd gear in the stock Getrag trans will not hold the power. Although your e30 with the s62 is lighter so it may be OK. No major problems as long as you run really good fuel, do all the supporting modifications including methanol injection, large radiator and big electric brushless fan. These engines love to breath and I've found slight things you can do which frees up a lot of power which include having a cone air filter installed directly on the back of the supercharger. I had an elbow on mine and we took it off during a dyno tune and gained 25 WHP just from removing the elbow. Also, I had a complete Supersprint exhaust system with CAT delete, but found there were a lot of kinks in the pipe system causing resistance and that building a custom 3" mandrel bent exhaust system behind the Supersprint headers with racing resonators freed up A LOT of power above 5000 rpm. I did a Tremec T-56 Magnum XL transmission swap with a SPEC Mini Twin disc clutch that weighs in at a little over 14lbs. I think the factory clutch and flywheel setup is around 45lbs and the super light clutch and flywheel really makes a huge difference in the car's response and power to the ground. It frees up a ton of weight off the rotating mass of the engine and transfers it directly to the back wheels.. The car revs like an Indy car and is extremely responsive, an absolute beast to drive. I plan to have the car re-tuned by Frank Smith soon and will post dyno numbers. I should do an in depth video on my car, I can't believe this video has over 1.8M views!
@Nab If I drive easy, I see about 22 mpg around town and 36 mpg at 75-80 mph. The open exhaust with cat delete helps the engine breath and the supercharger increases volumetric efficiency so I've actually increased efficiency at highway speeds. Once you lay into the boost, she drinks a lot.
@@georgeyaknowthegeorgeyeathatme saying it looks cheap is kind of ignorant but saying there are no better sedans than the e39 is a bit of ignorant too imo the e60 m5, g11 m760i, f90 m5, those are some examples. Engines sound good too

I will never sell it-though it has been very expensive to run, the newer turbocharged M cars just don’t have the same appeal for some reason? Beautiful car and video, Max! 👍🏻👍🏻😎
I love this car! Right at the turn of the millennium too, this Car has a nice smooth but masculine design and awesome sound! Love it much more than modern cars.
The e39 era interiors and their nicely backlit hard buttons, the (optional) center screen and overall ergonomics still seem very desirable and well thought through
This took me a long, long way back. I was waiting to hear the sirens of a Swedish police car and maybe hear the Ghost Rider scream past on that turbo Hayabusa of theirs. What a swell of nostalgia!

Love the e39 , my all time favorite together with e31.Had both cars, would be fine to see a tuned e31 or even a stock e31 csi doing a honest 300 km/h autobahn run
First things first: the sound & performance of this E39 is absolutely stunning! But what is even more important> all vehicles of this era convey one thing that today's vehicles can hardly do: real driving fun & real emotions! This raw, real, uninterrupted driving experience, the direct steering without any electronic intervention & this immediate reaction to accelerator pedal commands make these engines & vehicles like the M5 V8 real legends! Personally, I "only" have an old Golf 3 VR6 2.9 Syncro with compressor conversion (RUF loader) as a weekend fun vehicle, but the driving pleasure from almost 3L displacement, compressor charging, all-wheel drive & manual transmission is so high that I wouldn't trade even the most "modern" fun car for it would!! The fascination of the sound and the large engine in the small car are absolutely indescribable. PEOPLE get your childhood dreams while you still can! BMW M5, Audi RS6; M3 E46 , RS4 B5 , C63 AMG , Golf GTI G60 , Vauxhall Calibra 4x4 Turbo etc etc etc all these cars from the 90s + 2000s are irretrievable!!
