love it...couple of questions if I may re the m3 v8 conversion 1- what sort of money is this type of conversion? 2- given the 1235i model is now 10+ years old, is there a newer model BMW that could be used that offers the compact size? (eg 140i?) 3 - re on road legality, what is required Regards Regards
Beautiful car! I see in another reply you’ve swapped in the S65 DME and all the M3 modules, but I really want to know what modules had to be changed and how difficult it was? I’m planning to single turbo N54 swap an M3 and the electronics are the only thing I haven’t tracked down and figured out. Since you guys are doing the inverse of what I’m planning, I’d really love to know more about what electronic issues you ran into!
Hi Zach, thanks for watching in. The electronics are tricky, and about the same amount of effort to goto an N54 backwards from an S65. The best way to do this is to have both cars side by side and work on one circuit at a time. There is not direct instructions on how to do this, but it can certainly be done with patience and careful following of the BMW wiring diagrams.
Wicked vid - great channel, I'm glad I found you guys on youtube. I'm very mich a DIYer, have you guys posted on any forums a detailed thread on an S65 swap for the 1er?
We have a few episodes on our channel of a black 130i build we just finished. We havent posted any threads as such, just filmed snippets of the latest build and put up a few episodes. Have a browse of our latest few vids on the channel
Lovely build Brintech Customs. The S65 is known to be relatively light for a DOHC V8 but how did you guys feel the car handled around corners? Is it noticeably nose heavy? Thanks!
Hi Smilepermile - the S65 is extremely well balanced in the 1 series chassis. Its shorter than the N54 and better distributed for weight. We cannot fault the the combo of this drivetrain in a 1 series chassis, except that it puts the E92 M3 on show a little ;)
Yes we were waiting for someone to goto the effort of correcting us on that. It was meant to say twin power turbo, which is a twin scroll single turbo on N55's yes. I hope that didnt let down the rest of the video for you...

Wow that sounds incredible !! Wish I lived in Aus would definitely be up for that engine swap in my E87 !!
Rad crew and super rad dude thanks for helping with my abs module didnt know how awsome you guys really are just subscribed
Aiden Paparoa thanks Aiden. welcome down anytime to see us
@@BrintechCustoms thanks bruva! i live in queens land but if im in sydney ill defos come check you guys out s85 46 is like a dream come true
Absolutely love your work guys
Thanks Koutros. We have another we have just completed and the build up on our channel if you want to see how they go together.
Wow ! What a great job !! Wondering if this could be done on my e82 125i ..
Absolutely. Are you local to Australia? contact us for more info - we have a complete kit in stock. cars@brintech.com.au
@@BrintechCustoms is this s65 swap kit available?
Legendary, sounds brilliant.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
Looks like a really fun car to drive.
It would have to be one of our favorites. Its certainly a well balanced car that dwarfs the performance of an M3. Not what BMW wanted...
Great combination!

Send us an email for the info and answers. cars@brintech.com.au. An F series 1 series would probably benefit from the S63 swap instead
Great build. How come no 1M side mirrors?

Speechless boss 🔥 🔥. Are you able to post parts needed for the body kit?? Have a 08’ that I’m looking to turn it to a 1M
The front parts are all genuine 1M parts, the rear is a set of aftermarket guards from Germany
When I sell my house I’m definitely doing this.
Epic.
Where did you get those blue rear back trailing arms from
The owner of that should be in the BMW Driver's club NSW!!
Dont worry, there will be a 1 series coupe with a V10 soon that will be in the BMW Driver's club ;)
So you need a donor M3 for this. Wrecked I assume but not too badly 😂

If you think the S65 can mate up to N54 manual gearbox
? Thank you
15.000 Views and not one down vote.
Its a positive build :-)
what catback system is on this build? if someone hasn't already asked
So could this fit into a f30 chassis ? I want to do like a some what modern e90 v8 build swap from my n26 engine & then supercharge it
Does it have the m3 front/rear subframes like the actual 1m? Very clean build nonetheless
Hi yes it has the M3 subframes installed. Thanks for watching

Where are youse based looking to put a v8 in my 1 series
whats the diameter of the exhaust pipe 3.5"?
Dam i want one
what have you changed that the spray nozzles do not touch the microfilter?
We used nozzles from a Mini
Brintech Customs Which mini? What year of construction? and do the plug and play fit?
@@ahmetkrasniqi3787 Cant recall. We found them on some wrecks years ago that i thought would be good for a rainy day.
Brintech Customs ok many thanks. but you are sure that the nozzles from the Mini are?
Ahmet Krasniqi yes we are sure
are they apex or bbs wheels? and are they 19's
Where did you get the body kit from??
The front is genuine 1M parts and the rear is aftermarket guards retrofitted with genuine 1M rear bumper
Entire quarter replacement or aftermarket flare alone? Any issues with cracking/flex?
This would be my dream car to build. Do you use the original or ECU or swap in the m3 one?
Anthony Ensor we have installed all the M3 modules and ECU to make it all work.
You must have some sort of technical wizard to make everything work together. Great stuff guys. It’s a beautiful machine
Anthony Ensor cheers. yes we have a clever bunch of guys.
Can this be done one the e88 ?
Wow. How much did all that cost?
Depending on the exact combo, mechanically its a $40k to $50k cost. Body work extra
N55 is a twin scroll, not twin turbo.
Mr2 k20 swap will beat it all day !!! True numbers and facts!!! All that with 30k.!!!!
Hi, what kind of budget should i be looking at for an s65 swap on a 125i?
Starting from $40k AUD
I’m thinking of building my own, can you tell me if the engine bay dimensions are the same as an M3 ?
Yes they are the same
1M fanbois will only be upset by you using real bodykit because they want that engine in their car haha
N55 is single turbo.
Yes we were waiting for someone to goto the effort of correcting us on that. It was meant to say twin power turbo, which is a twin scroll single turbo on N55's yes. I hope that didnt let down the rest of the video for you...
Ray J I have an n55 135i and once I heard him say it was a twin turbo I instantly went to the comments 😂😂
How much power does it make ?!
Its a stock S65 - 230rwkw
@@BrintechCustoms it doesn’t make it faster because it’s in a smaller lighter body?
@@YungSav16 Absolutely
Are the rear quarters metal or fibreglass moulded in
moulded in glass panels
Can I ask . Who did the install on them and is it the kit from England ?
@@MrArty250 The customer who owns the car had it done. I believe they are from Germany

Too bad you used replica body parts instead of genuine ones . The fitment would be much better
I dont think there's too much bad about the build, it does what it was built for.
