BMW 1M S65 V8 SWAP | This is how!

[@gerardwalsh4724]

A South African chap giving us a tour of engine bay!

[@robmoore2625]

I'm South African. This dude is Australian

[@BoetaD27]

Good to see our brothers making it abroad 🇿🇦

[@shahar5587]

Absolutely outstanding! Love the oem finish

[@timmellor6411]

Great result. I love the swap. Do you know is anyone has swapped an s63 into a e61 wagon? Now that would be rare

[@NSPOOL]

Saw the black one at a car show earlier in the year, its very clean with the carbon intake kit.

[@mixxeerr]

Such an awesome conversion... I want to do this too

[@CarGuy87]

Gotta love that S65 spinning above 7000rpm

[@mpineda6]

Is the output right? Is not the S65 supposed to output at least 250KW at the wheels

[@Hellman555]

Nicely done! Could you be more specific as to what wiring needed to be done? Did you need to replace the 1M wiring harness with the M3 or was it plug and play but with the M3 ECU and some minor modifications? What functions would be lost if you didn’t do the wiring modifications?

[@xcastel6234]

What’s the total cost for this build ?

[@aussiegonz]

i'd love to see the x5 swap

[@Vikfumare]

Can this be done on my 128i convertible 2008. I would love to know and how much. Thank you.

[@gmarie5537]

How much would a build like this cost?

[@CalmKenan]

Sounds like the dude working on the car us from Cape Town originally. He scored bigtime with immigrating to work at a top spot like this

[@robmoore2625]

I'm South African from Cape Town. This dude sounds fully Australian

[@TakingDownNubs]

Finally!! I’ve been waiting

[@paul1der]

sounds amazing. you turned the 1m into a real M car. real M cars have itbs

[@ZX7ROB]

So cool. Is it using the 1series DSC unit? With an M3 DME?

[@BrintechCustoms]

It's an M3 DSC

[@heppy9973]

Can you expand on how the wiring works? Did you use the M3 interior loom?

[@sander16v11]

I have a 128i 6 speed. How much would it cost for me to have you’re team swap my carZ

[@ThatStolenZ33]

Nicee🤔 i was wondering if i take my 350z can you guys swap the engine out and install a s65? Obviously imma be charged if you do but is it possible?

[@alman-world]

Very tidy. I'm sure that exhaust will get addressed one day 😎

[@fredfred9758]

Was the FEM from the donor car used in the swap ? What is needed to swap a B58 from a F30 340i into a F30 328i ?

[@TURBOTRISTO]

Great job guys!

[@ronyjameson8798]

Great job Guys!!! Love the work. But can you tell me about the weight balance? Is it still 50/50? BMW is known for 50/50 weight balance. They famously put this car on a scale in the lunch advert to show that. Has that changed?

[@Josh102697315]

I heard this engine is only 15 pounds heavier than n54. Watch jay lenos garage with marcos’ 1m v8 clone. He says something about it in there.

[@jpwilliams5264]

I think these guys did a video weighing a bunch of diff engines. S65,ls,n54 and n52

[@fabiankombo24]

Hi how much did all the processes cost?

[@kirkmham]

So…I have a dct car. How do I integrate the s65 electronically? I know what to do mechanically.

[@BrintechCustoms]

Will need to have the car sent to our shop for this to be done

[@mikolizazi]

What about the driveshaft, is it custom built or from the 1M?

[@BrintechCustoms]

@@mikolizazi modified M3

[@finlay230]

Work of art 👍👌

[@kanekumar94]

Can you guys swap an s55 into my 135i 😅

[@gregshoopman6369]

Should’ve gone catless test pipes and valved mufflers

[@ProjectLowdown]

What does a build like this cost (minus the cost of the 1 series car)

[@AEllis]

Can this conversation be done? E82 120d to s55/n55 with 1m rep kit. Really appreciate a response thanks

[@knutsir]

Of course it can be done, but don't expect the conversion to be cheap :)

[@unluckeeeee]

May as well just buy a 135i and do the body work.

[@RavTokomi]

Will any of the S63's fit in there?

[@BrintechCustoms]

@@RavTokomi it has been done in Russia. Very hard with custom bonnet

[@Ksandros.M]

Brilliant!

[@jasonmichaeljones]

you forgot to use the whole rpm range on those street runs! :(

[@tomthompson7400]

very tidy work.

[@BernTheMac]

amazing!!

[@YUSKHAN]

He had that massive microphone in his hand what happened to it 😬😬😬

[@mun33y]

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to stick to an LSx motor ? 230kw isn’t exactly a lot for the amount of money you’ll spend with this conversion

[@twinturbocars]

Definitely, but I'd rather keep it a BMW in a BMW, keeping it well integrated because at least the parts will communicate better with each other.

[@hoey3510]

Hardly worth the effort .the hp is way down on factory hp.. something is not right ..should be at least 250kw at the wheels

your production is poor, respectfully. Why wear a mask then attempt to speak? frustrating for the viewer because your content is super good.
