Hey Tyler, the 645Ci manual transmission doesn't bolt up to the S85 V10 in the M5/M6, the bell-housing bolt pattern is completely different. You need E9x M3 6-speed which is a direct bolt-on and the only one you can use. I sent you an email with some info back when you posted the first video. I guess good news for the 645Ci, it doesn't need to die. :D

[@johnkennedy3663]

This is just me but I would also consider swapping the wood from the manual car to the M6. The M6 has the light blond color that does not fit the vibe. The darker wood in the manual car will look much better.

[@doorgoo]

From my experience with quite a few BMWs, the clear coat on top of the wood in the 645 is probably cracked and maybe discolored from the Florida sun and heat while the M6 might still be clean at its mileage and if garage kept

[@janneuimonen2757]

It's always good to have a financial plan, but investing is not as easy as it looks, I've incurred alot of losses trying to invest

[@yvesderrick4348]

The best advice that i learned from Manny Koshbin is don't buy a Super or Hyper car until you have 5 times the price of it in your Bank account, when you purchase a Super car you add a car to your garage but u add also maintenance and unexpected damages that can happen in future.

[@gabrielbruhnr]

If you have that much money sitting in your bank account, that means that you are not investing your money properly. Money sitting in the bank doesn't really do anything for you because interest rates are so slow. It's better to have $1 million in a place where it can make you 5% on returns rather than having that $1 million sitting in your bank account making you 0.5% returns.

The Cape Canaveral areas were, literally, granted that telephone area code to reference the shuttle launch countdowns in about 1999 or so. Feel free to look it up. I believe it was originally meant to merely be a backfill/overlay area code for our area's much more ubiquitous 407 designation here in Orlando before it was, rightly, granted pretty much a life of its own.

Put in a DSSR selector rod the next time you have access to the driveshaft tunnel and you can take a lot of the rubbery feeling out of it.

[@blackknight530i]

@Hoovie, i said this on Car Ninja's video as well, but that 645Ci transmission doesnt bolt up to the S85 V10. The only one that bolts up is the e92 M3 6-speed. That 645Ci is useless for your conversion, unfortunately.

[@AnontheGOAT]

Wouldn’t the car Ninja know this?

[@blackknight530i]

The kit FCP sells is for the e92 M3 transmission. They are both GS6-53BZ, but they have different bellhousing bolt patterns. In doing some simple research, I couldn't find anyone that had done the swap with the 645Ci transmission, but several that had done it with the e92 M3 transmission.

[@ShipofTheseus-ez8gi]

This is unfortunately correct. I've got a 6-speed swapped E60 M5 and the only transmissions you can bolt in are from the M5/M6 or the E90/91/92 M3. The 6 speed from the non-m cars won't work. I'd love for you to prove us wrong though as this would make manual swapping SMG cars much easier.

Regarding the Ferrari cylinder heads: I was always concerned about warped cylinder heads,especially the length of sis cylinders in-line. The cam journals warp with the head. Then the cams are spinning as on an eccentric. There is a "truing" method a GOOD machine shop can perform by plunging the head into super heated oil then pressing it in a jig to cool down straight and true. Be sure to have the camshaft journals checked for alignment. Be certain the valve seats didn't loosen up. I'll be watching.
