@@anidiotinaracingcar4874 I'm sure its better than the old one, I just don't like having to scroll through things while on the move. I think buttons always were the safest and easiest way to control things...at least before ICE systems became more complex than your avarage home computer!!
They built one single e46 m3 touring as a example but was never sold, in recent years they have started back going towards a m touring idea with m340i etc
When I talk about restoring my 2002 BMW 525i A sport wagon premium every one keeps telling me it’s a bad idea but I’ve kept the car in near mint condition. That’s one hell of a Inspirational video love what you guys did with the car
Don't listen to them. They know shit. I'd spend a lot of money on a old BMW but not a single penny on a new one. Do what YOU want, not what other people tells you.
I literally saw an identical build to this one this past weekend at Wings & Wheels in Upland. I talked with the older gentlemen (jog my memory) I believe his name was Bob. He did say that he's seen another one out there similar to his, I'm willing to bet he was referring to your car. I wouldn't be surprised if that's one of your builds. Gorgeous M...
You are correct his name is Bob I built that one back in 2015, his car is actually at my shop for a battery replacement. Maybe we'll see you at that show next month
If I could give this video 67 thumbs up, I would! Absolutely beautiful conversion, the BEST I have ever seen. Congratulations to everyone involved. I own an 2003 E39 M5 and I would gladly sacrifice it towards a conversion like this one. If there is a Touring out there that we could find, I’d be game!
Jesus… that was some amazing metal work and body work… like cutting out a whole part of a unibody, so that you can put a new rear subframe ..( I thought the M rear end was different.., I know going back to the M3 they have different… Panhard bar?? Something… This series of M5 is my favorite, personally.. a wagon, straight shift… oh man
Amazing!! a few questions: do you build these for clients or was this just a one-off build for fun? how much would you charge to do this again? it looks like you are using an interface from an f-series, how in the heck did you do that? WELL DONE!!
Swapping out that rear floorpan , Im sure, wasn't cheap not sure why that was done maybe for the M5 Diff and Dual Exhaust. S62 motors are readily available, just check Ebay.
how on earth does this video only have 68k views and your subscriber count should have at least three zeroes added to the end. this car is absolutely AWESOME!
Great work on the swap. KW v3 coilovers? You even got a sweet set of 'winter' wheels, (style 66's.) I think the only thing I'd add is an X-pipe. Damn nice e39 sleeper. You just gotta love a properly done touring. Keep up the good work! 👍💪😎
I have been wanting to do this conversion for awhile now and i have not seen this video until now as it was just done not long ago. MCM Garage! please let me know if you have time to discuss the possibility of you doing this again in the near future. VERY INTERESTED!!
It is perfect apart for just one thing. WHY HAS IT GOT A MODERN TOUCHSCREEN AND THE I-DRIVE??? It's a early 00's car. They still didn't exist. I would have kept as many OEM parts and as much time-originality as possible. This doesn't change the fact that you gave us the most desired and desirable BMW M5 Touring of all the times👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
If I buy a 540i and just decide to restore it to perfect condition, while squeezing another 50hp out of it, what am I looking at, price wise? 15grand? 20?
How much did it cost in parts roughly? This is my dream DD almost down to the last detail. I remember learning to drive in my dad's 525i sport with the same Sterling grey and have been in love with BMWs ever since. The e30 deserves a break lol 😂
Okay, this was already extremely cool, but the iDrive integration just blew my mind
Look online, it's reasonably easy
iDrive is like Marmite some people love it some hate it. I hate it, but it's an unusual mode for sure.
Where did u guys found it ? I need idrive in my car :D
@@soundseeker63 Try a modern iDrive

The perfect car doesn't exist.
E39 M5 Wagon: Hold my beer.
Dream come true :))
E34 Alpina: Hold mein schnitzel
I think that this isn't the first 540i to M5 conversion for them.....They know what to do....looks so easy.....Respect.🔩🔧👍
a vehicle worthy of not one, but two M5 badges. What an iconic and professional build. Just WOW....
I’m honestly lost for words on the craftsmanship and work dedication 😲. To the guys that built it excellent job absolutely incredible.
Yeah this makes me wonder why BMW (almost) never made an M3/M5 touring.. M3 touring would be the perfect daily for me..
I think they build one E46 M3 touring and there's of course the E61 M5...
They built one single e46 m3 touring as a example but was never sold, in recent years they have started back going towards a m touring idea with m340i etc
Sad as it is, it wasn't financially worth it. The E61 M5 is proof of that.
@Trippa Can you read?
New M3 is going to be available as a touring

The multimedia and idrive... Damn , what a car! Absolutely awesome job. I would never , ever sell it. Congr.
BMW did made 1 touring E39 M5.
Yes, a prototype. And its in the secret rooms of BMW Munich
M5's have skyrocket in price that no one wants to actually drive them M5 to keep mileage down but a 540i with M5 performance is a driver 👌
Anyone can swap an engine, not many can perfect a conversion like this though. This was thoroughly built and I need it!
100 Times cooler and better than any of the Crap BMW makes now, even the new M cars are $hit. M5 Tourings are Awesome & the perfect family car.

@@jimmyk6336 will do
That's a seriously clean e39...nice conversion and choice of colours.
Whoa, that looks like A LOT of work, they actually built a completely new car

underrated video
Next level stuff. I love my 997, her E91 and my 528i/MT this is all of those in one machine.
Amazing video. The quality of the craftsmanship employed on making this one was fabulous.
But MCM is a famous channel called Mighty Car Mods.

Such a sick car! 🙌
Doug Demuro would be proud of you guys!
This looks dope, this is how they should've looked on the lot when they first went on sale.
Huuuuh, once I’ve seen the lights on and the car drive forward, I hit that subscribe button and notification! Amazing machine!
This looks like a super thorough build! Great work!!
Absolutely stunning build! Super clean!
on the E39 chassis m5, 525, 530 and 540 all had the same fenders
@@mcmgarage4163 oh.. My bad haha, was thinking of the e60😁
Amazing!! a few questions:
do you build these for clients or was this just a one-off build for fun?
how much would you charge to do this again?
it looks like you are using an interface from an f-series, how in the heck did you do that?
WELL DONE!!
Better than a New Car, handmade! Professional! 👍🤭
Just to wonder how much would this conversion cost + vehicle. Everything done to perfection 👏🏼👏🏼

The first video i saw that has ZERO dislikes. Now that.s something you don.t see every day :))
there is one now, maybe Audi driver :)
@@luckyhack78 :))) more like French car lover :))

Whomever disliked it is probably a jealous prick, or another 'armchair mechanic.' The internet is loaded with them.
Brutal build 😍 well done guys!
Done the proper way! Respect

Stunning dream car!
You guys deserver way more attention I hope you get it soon! The car is absolutely amazing!!
Respect to this guys
I’m gonna slowly build on of these..
Nailed it 😍🤩🤩👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🙌🏻
Perfect M5. Only missing the front fenders.
Time to list on BAT or Cars and Bids!
Beautiful build.

In 1989 the 635 CSI had an option for GPS touch screen from Europe that customers from the States could use that in their car
just wow,, im speechless, Great work!
Bro you got me with that meduza and great shots brooooo let'sss gooooooo I actually missed his new years party in la
Awesome....👍🏻👍🏻
I´d love to have that car, still have my 2000 E39 Touring, great car, way better built quality than any E60 model.....
Amazing work, great video, thank You!
This is actually pretty good for your only video and having subs too
awesome car
Woulda been cool to hear it also. Nice build.
Wow, what a job! Congratulations 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good idea took same size rims from back and put on front . i have before m5 2000 . i change and it was so sexy !!!!!
You guys have nice taste!)))
ohhhh HA! I thought MCM was Mighty Car Mods. I was like damn, y'all have come a long way since rigging up a BOV to an N/A Car.
So beautifull!!!! Verry nice good job💪🏻😎🥃🚬
my kind of sick bastard! great achievement man!
this thing is amazing
Priceless ❤️
Nice video and nice build! Your channel name is kind of confusing tho, thought it was mighty car mods at first 😂
MCM= Mission Collision and Motoring

Magnifique, je rêve d'avoir une M e39 touring
Hey guys, what tailights did you use? Im in Australia and looking to do a LSX swap on my e39 wagon, love your work and love those tailights.
Huge Huge Work wow
Crazy build, super well executed. What was in the boot space?
Well damn .! That’s nice
Speed Academey are now doing this aswell
2 videos before i was watchin these videos and then this video got recommendet 😂
well done!
My dream car!!!!!
That touring looks killer! Though I want to know why the boot floor was cut out for the job?
floor was cut relocate battery to the center and to be able to fit the m5 exhaust
Looks great
That's so amazing
awesome..
awesome
Nice!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Want to know more about that screen and the idrive!!
android i guess... from an e90 i think :)
MIX yes it’s an Android! But don’t know if is specific for e39 or not because of the idrive
@@Mouchin22 The e90 platform has a similar android idrive :) and NO i dont think is specific for e39, but as we can see it can work in the e39 :)))
MIX ahhhh okay...maybe a e90 idrive 🤔 Do you think is possible something for a e46? I see android for e46 but has a idrive would be great!
@@Mouchin22 maybe if the owner of that E39 Touring can tell who installed his android ;)
Gran trabajo
If I buy a 540i and just decide to restore it to perfect condition, while squeezing another 50hp out of it, what am I looking at, price wise? 15grand? 20?
Depends who's doing the work. Surely more power could be had for less
The easiest way to get more power would be to find a 4.6 x5 engine and swap it in. The 4.6 is good for 350.
It's not about power wtf
Mad respect! 👌🏼👌🏼
🔥🔥
Great 👍🏼
Good job 😁👍
whoooaa what a beauty!
Your guy so smart
How much did it cost in parts roughly? This is my dream DD almost down to the last detail. I remember learning to drive in my dad's 525i sport with the same Sterling grey and have been in love with BMWs ever since. The e30 deserves a break lol 😂
My dad owns this car its amazing and loud
Sorry, didnt know i have a son!!
