BMW 1M S65 V8 SWAP | This is why!

[@TURBOTRISTO]

Weighing the motors is great a content idea

[@elliottslab]

It’s amazing that extra bolt hole for the subframe is even there!

[@e92m3dct]

Love all the info and breakdown on why! Subscribed.

[@chrispy104k]

There's a 1M in Perth that has been converted to an S65. Absolutely stunning car.

[@BrintechCustoms]

@@chrispy104k yes we built that car

[@RodroRepara]

I love these E82, I own a 135i, looking at this video I´m feeling like replacing my engine too, the s65 gives an awesome sound

[@lummylum1875]

Well done Laurence

[@MmeDesgranges]

Controversy pfft. It's a fabulous idea!

[@harrywilkinson444]

Great commentary and content. Curious as to the weight difference between a 1M S65 car versus an E92 M3

[@BrintechCustoms]

The car weighs approx 200kgs less than the M3

[@TakingDownNubs]

Love to see it! Please focus on the wiring part, having a hard time figuring it out here in the United States

[@thearmsofperdition]

Have you guys swapped this S65 engine and g/box combo into an E46 M3?

[@BrintechCustoms]

No but we have been asked many times. No one has pulled the trigger yet but we can absolutely do it.

[@jimtsaganas5426]

Love your work! Can’t wait!

[@finlay230]

What a great swap and awesome vid content 👌👍

[@laloarguello]

Thinking about swapping the s65 into an e34 I already have a n62+6 speed manual ready to swap in but this sounds 10 times as fun

[@TURBOTRISTO]

I would love to do one of these

[@alman-world]

Great work guys.

[@Oplix]

I just saw a 1M with 180 original miles selling for $180,000. This guy is brave to do this.

[@Bfg-yi2id]

Yeah, with a rare car like this that appreciates in value I’d keep it stock maybe a mild tune

[@Creasingvermin1]

Watching this wondering if I can be a mad scientist and put an s85 in my z3 roadster

[@dibnah46]

How serviceable is the v8 in the 1er? Can you get to everything without having to drop it back out if you want to chnge the plugs etc?

[@richardweerasinghe3296]

@@dibnah46 the engine bay is exactly the same so access is the same as e9x

[@richardweerasinghe3296]

@@dibnah46 I just did plugs on mine and it was fine. Also removed the secondary air pump and the EGR valves which are down the back of the engine and it was tight but manageable. It would be the same on the m3.

[@richardweerasinghe3296]

I have one of these s82 s65 conversions. They are awesome. But the e82 chassis didn’t get as many lightweight parts as the e9x chassis. So you won’t find much weight saving if any. The e9x chassis has light front wings, alu hood, carbon roof and light bumper carriers etc. e82 chassis did not get any of that. Even the 1m wings and hood are steel. So you might want to weigh both and compare. Of course you can lightweight those components. But I’m just pointing out that the smaller car is not necessarily lighter. 👍👍👍

[@Loukanopoulos]

Maybe but there is a ~150kg weight saving and the smaller chassis makes a huge difference on a tight road

[@craigpilgrim5793]

I've been trying to find information about putting an s65 into an e28 BMW. It doesn't appear anyone has posted information about this engine swap, if it has been done. Anybody have an idea of the feasibility of this, and if space permits supercharging it. It would be hilarious if we could manage it.

[@weiguchickenburger920]

What coding is required for the swap? does the prop shaft need shortening?

[@BrintechCustoms]

We may answer these questions in the next episode. Stay tuned.

[@tomthompson7400]

that box looks so small , once you ignore the bell housing of course.

[@laurensurman9391]

Can this be done with a standard e82 for instance a 118d? 2011*

[@lawrencelchan216]

Awesome video, would a s85 V10 fit?

[@xcastel6234]

There is a video of an orange one.

[@mohammedsuhailsheik691]

will the 6 speed manual from an e82 fit the v8 without any mods?

[@BrintechCustoms]

No

[@hyunny9163]

엔진만 바꾼건가요?

[@bransonkariuki954]

Do you sell the six speed gearboxes

[@dee1251]

How much would you typically charge to do a swap like that?

[@BrintechCustoms]

Prices start at $40K AUD.

[@mariusbeets]

Wish I could work for you

[@Oplix]

Almost fits too good to be true.

[@loekfelten548]

👍👍👍

[@richardforrest8134]

to be honest this is rather dumb as its such a rare car with VERY few ever made why not just use a standard 135i? you could save a crap ton of cash and it saves this super cool car for someone who actually appreciates it. is the 1M the only capable 1 series able to take a S65? if so can the other ones be upgraded with 1M parts to take it?

[@BrintechCustoms]

Our customer chose to enhance his 1M with a proper S series engine, being the S65 V8 which is a much more exciting option than the bland N54. We have built quite a few of these now including replica 1M models. It is our opinion that the S65 compliments the 1M and completes the missing piece.

[@AyeRight85]

Why a 1M ffs. 🤣 why not a 120d?
