Going from seeing this wagon sneak it’s way into portions of the FR-S build series, to seeing what it’s become now is truly remarkable! Absolutely love how far you’ve come as individuals and a channel. This build series was thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end and the results are magnificent!
So cool to see you build an M5 Wagon. Especially one that has the V8. The new M5 is a crazy car. It a 2 ton boat but still does the 0-60 in 4,8 seconds. AWD, ZF Automatic and a 340hp diesel is no joke. You are in the fastest 10% on the roads by a long shot in this thing.
Something about this build off was special. Maybe it's the combination of the uniqueness of the builds with the attention to detail and quality that is typical of SA. I never thought twice about that generation Lexus LS, but now I kind of want one. Both cars are awesome. Would be really awesome if they got included in a future Forza Motorsport/Horizon or something like that.
Wagon lovers rejoice! This was one of the funnest build series in general and my favourite build montage on TH-cam! Hope we see more of both cars after the series and I’m excited to see what comes next! Keep it up Speed Academy 🙏🏽
Have been following this series from start, and I’m loving every single sec, only for those who seen the full series know all the struggles and hardwork. Love this type of build 😇
This has been an absolutely magical journey with this build. All of the work and details you put into making this a truly unique vehicle. It's bittersweet that this build is over but at the same time we finally get to see this car rip down the road like it was meant to. Congrats and thanks for bringing us along for the ride.
I would love to see the cost laid out for each car in comparison. That BMW musta cost a pretty penny in comparison to the Lexus in build, time and money! It would be a great period to the end of a really great series.
If I had to throw a number out there that including the sedan+wagon purchase+parts+paint+etc = Close to $15-20 grand and that is not including shop labor since they are professionals themselfs.
I've been the hugest fan for years now and have always wondered whats up with the public domain adult contemporary dubstep soundtrack? It sounds like what I'd imagine being on antidepressants sounds like all the time, that a Canadian thing?
wow, nice shop, i wish to have a place like that. I am picking up a 1999 528it 2.8l I6 Dual Vanos.... just a lil curious what can be achieved on that OEM engine, i would personally like to convert my 528it to a 3.0 with the Vanos system on a 6 speed REAL manual. Plus ITB ... what would that make? how much can I get on the 2.8 while keeping it normally aspirated?
Was there any hard acceleration numbers put out with a Dragy or vBox for the two cars? If not, that would be a cheap and easy thing to add to your videos. Would love to know 0-60, 1/8 and 1/4 miles.
Love the channel and this is an, IMO situation, but that opening intro music is enough to make me skip through the video until I don't have to listen to it anymore. Just my thoughts. Keep up the good work.
This has to be one of the best under 15 minutes project videos ever.
i can't agree more!!
And the lexus one only last 5 min...
7.5min, in my case. Have sped it up x2 times.
Absolutely astonishing.
Don’t worry, you’ll finish a car one day ;)
@@mmavcanuck the salt is real. Hahaha.
I thought this was going to be a 15min compilation video of Pete deciding on which kidney grille and head light combo to use.
Favorite series this channel has put out ever. The amount of dedication to this build was insane
That song was the equivalent of kids in the back seat.....”Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?”
Not gonna lie, killed the video for me. :(
There is thing called a volume button

This is gonna have a million+ views

E39 M5s only had V8s, but there was only one genuine M5 Touring. BMW didn't put it into production, not enough of a market for it.
This better get to a million views pronto.
You should really look into getting a Dry Ice Blaster for restoring all of these components.
Just absolute perfection. This build deserves all the views!

The ultimate e39, right here. Beautiful
Good God. I'm buying an e39 touring in a few days and to see one executed to this level makes me want to step my game up
Love how the drop in the music coincided with the engine drop.
This is simply one of the coolest cars in the world.
Way more into that build than most people will ever appreciate!
Who ever you got for music has been awesome
Insane amount of work. Congrats on a hell of a finished product. Keep up the good work guys!
This vid put a smile on my face, but also made me sad that the series is done. I can't wait for your next projects..
I'm not the biggest fan of wagons, but man does that look clean.
Best video I ever seen of a car conversion gave me goosebumps
Unbelievable amount of work, guys! Wow! This video makes me want to get a dedicated space to also wrench on a project like this. Amazing!!
Fantastic Job E39 were the best build 5 series you inspired me to do the same to my 530D touring
Have been following this series from start, and I’m loving every single sec, only for those who seen the full series know all the struggles and hardwork. Love this type of build 😇
Amazing journey to have watched this from the beginning to end every week and now watching this montage reminder.
Probably the best build off views I have seen this channel have!
Where is the spare tire? The love and attention in this build is inspiring.
Such a slept upon channel
This is beyond amazing. And much love for being Ontarian 😊
Awesome project! Now fix an alcantara black headliner!
This is an extremely well executed video!
Been loving this series since it started and it introduced me to your channel. Also thanks for the parts lol
JDM legends build awaiting !
I’ve watched every minute of the build. Love your work
Both of these cars are forever cars. Glorious
Ending of this video was sick!!!!🔥🔥
This is definitely my favorite "build in 10 mins"
i love this car, one of the best projects you guys have undertaken
I’m inspired! Amazing build and video. I think I’m going to stay fifteen minutes late after work tomorrow and convert my own 540!
Great work fellas! I just did a 3.0 swap on my e46 XI wagon. The m3 wagon conversion is next on the bucket list!
This has been an absolutely magical journey with this build. All of the work and details you put into making this a truly unique vehicle. It's bittersweet that this build is over but at the same time we finally get to see this car rip down the road like it was meant to. Congrats and thanks for bringing us along for the ride.
Epic transformation, loved watching the custom fab work for the exhaust
Great build & beautiful car... Looks good with out the rear m5 badge :)
More of these please after the big projects are done. Love looking back on all the work you two did. Great content!
one of the best cars they've done .
You guys really know how to make everything perfect! Incredible work and video !
Incredible!!!
It would be awesome if you could make an episode about how much did it cost, as you did with other proyects before!
Glorious in every way! 😍
For real, Imma let you finish... But the Flexus was one of the greatest builds of all time. 😉 Great segment!
I loved every second of this.
I could like this a 100 times.
I have no words for this video 😮
Coming together nicely bro! That's great you can do all the work yourself. Wagons rock, especially this one! 👍
That was a ton of work done....pretty cool!!..great job!!
Oh my good god what a car, what a job and nice video👍🏾
Weird didn't get notification for this, you should publish it again
Great video. Despite watching the whole build series, it's surprising how much (very involved) work you guys got done.
13:27 the activate windows screen LMAO
We need more kombis. Beautiful car.
Great work guys!
Awesome build. Looks so good. It would look cooler if you swap the tail lights to more modern LED style and make them smoked as well.
Well done guys! Love this build...
How about adding a dark headliner for the finishing touches?
What an amazing job you have done!!!! 🙂
Wow la migliore touring m5 di sempre
Great to see an example of the finest German automotive engineering being used for its intended purpose: donuts.👍
Amazing build!
Comment to help you guys get more views. Love E39 M5 ❤️
I don't like wagons, but this was a really great build.
Awesome build guys 👌🏼😎
Amazing job, felt like a Movie!
Just abit sad as Im Sedan all the way, but hey... This one can sneak past.
Surely you guys are going to get one of those dry ice blast cleaners!
Amazing build! I do still prefer the Style 65 wheels. Or possibly a replica Style 65 in a 19" size. Cheers!
I hope this vid gets you guys to the 500,000 sub mark! Cheers
Holy shit that was OUTSTANDING!
Amazing build.
The wagoon 🔥
The ONLY thing I'm not digging is the oval rear view mirror. Rectangular would match the interior better. What a gripe.
Such a monumentous undertaking. BMW should recognize this, somehow. Maybe an unlimited R&D budget?
You should do a video like this for the Flexus!
I would love to see the cost laid out for each car in comparison. That BMW musta cost a pretty penny in comparison to the Lexus in build, time and money! It would be a great period to the end of a really great series.
If I had to throw a number out there that including the sedan+wagon purchase+parts+paint+etc = Close to $15-20 grand and that is not including shop labor since they are professionals themselfs.
holy crap. maybe the greatest car ever built... one question, 'Where did you go from there'?
I've been the hugest fan for years now and have always wondered whats up with the public domain adult contemporary dubstep soundtrack? It sounds like what I'd imagine being on antidepressants sounds like all the time, that a Canadian thing?
First :) Much respect on this build
honestly i think the round mirrors look weird on all e39 def like the square ones but cool build
Moment of silence for the real m5 sedan and his engine & transmission that was taken out to built the wagon👁👄👁
wow, nice shop, i wish to have a place like that. I am picking up a 1999 528it 2.8l I6 Dual Vanos.... just a lil curious what can be achieved on that OEM engine, i would personally like to convert my 528it to a 3.0 with the Vanos system on a 6 speed REAL manual.

The music is psychological torture.
That thing is awesome
My dream wagon💙💙💙💙
Truly amazing build. Never sell it.
Fantastic! Then you put the e34 msystem II throwing star wheels on and my brain went "wait what?, no no that's not right"
it's missing key item and that is BLACK roof lining ,wich makes it M sport or the M model
Love the channel and this is an, IMO situation, but that opening intro music is enough to make me skip through the video until I don't have to listen to it anymore. Just my thoughts. Keep up the good work.
The best BMW ❤️🔥
Real build
But how did you get the M5 sedan rear seat into a touring body and did you retain the SLS suspension?
