this particular car was always a dream of mine so when opportunity came up I took it, the first owner didn't take very well care of the car and was mostly 'racing" it so I had to fix some of the flows, as well it didn't come with some options u would expect from '13 model (such as LEDs, etc.) I also took care of those. As far as beating Camaro or Mustang at the race I think stock E70 X5M won't beat them but modified very well could. You should check with some of M owners on this forum who actually do race their Ms (I'm not one of them)

i dont think that throwing an S85 in an X5 is a good idea.. S85 is a rev loving engine and if you combine it with X5's weight it may not be good.. S85 is a great engine but it ll be more special if you swap into a 3 series and it fits.. if you want a faster X5-X6 you need an M.. its totally different than you think probably and it ll be much cheaper for you..

^^^ this. Having owned an E60 M5 in the past, this engine would not suit the X5 platform very well at all. Just look at a stock dyno graph and you’ll see the torque curve is clearly not suitable for a heavy suv. You’d be better off spending the money on an s63 setup.

I am an enthusiast with a good imagination that can create things in my mind accurately based on info, and I completely concur with this.

The feeling of boost will trump the screaming V10. BMW NA engines were tuned very well and don't leave a lot of power on the table. I suggest just doing a custom turbo on your current engine. When preparing your drivetrain for more power, it is not the HP you have to worry about...but the torque. Being that the e70 chassis can tow, it should be able to handle a lot of torque...which means you can up the boost. Just remember the tune is the most important thing.
Generally BMW swaps are very expensive and it can be hard to find information. I also suggest LS vs a BMW swap. You can find tons of info on swapping an LS. Also there are companies making LS swapping parts for BMW chassis.....engine, transmission mounts, exhaust, etc... Engine swaps are not for the weak.....but like most situations money is very powerful and can make things happen fast. You can find some good info here to get more familiar with engine swapping in a BMW. https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...ing-Start-Here! |

I have sadly decided that the insane V10 swap would not be practical, and would remain only a dream! |

I pride myself on seeing the pissed off faces of the car owners, so the GT500 being a vert and with the top down was extra special. My fiance and I were rolling at how disturbed the guy looked. |
