[@kevinkuzi]

The car is a beauty, brother.

[@Suppehuedelux]

With these builds I would love to hear more about the build and setup. Especially when the owner is aware of the specifics like in this case.

[@NeonMuffler]

i build the whole car pretty much myself, so will post some specs on it soon :)

[@WesM757]

​@NeonMuffler yeah! I would love to learn about the process of your build.

[@martijnjanmaat2690]

i know this is not the fastest, or the best steering, perhaps too heavy, but for me, this is what dreams are made of. the E34 chassis with the S54 sounds like heaven. needs a shorter diff though. how awesome, what a car, and kudo's to you for driving it proper

[@Illtechnica]

What a sound. WHAT a SOUND!

[@volvo09]

Sounds and looks great, what a niiiiiiiice car!

[@morganjohansen2195]

One of the nicest e34 from norway ❤

[@Vm94-p7u]

For me, the coolest BMW ever made. The silhouette, the lines... everything is just PERFECT! 😍

[@Chris-ws2oh]

Looks like a very comfortable ride, not the fastest car but you could eat breakfast in it and go around the track

Better to wait until after imo

This and the Audi S8 right? I need to see those car chase scenes again. Great movie.

thank you Imty, that goes to you too my friend. hope to see you guys again

[@y0057]

I had one that was sold in 2021. Had her for 17years. E34 m5 with the 3.8ltr big brake Nurburgring spec, last year production. They are sensational cars. Misha get a good e34 m5 and you will marvel at the cars.

[@forwox]

easy to be said, really good and well mantained e34 m5 goes high prices.

[@KeynSong]

S54 is the best BMW engine ever! E36 m3 with s54 swap is the best track toy!

@@duangc3280 to me the S54 is the final version of the S50.

E36 M3 has s50 doesnt need s54.

[@pablosarchi]

I love foot camera!!!! Please misha don't stop doing it. At least in manual cars where you do the heel and toe!!!!😢

[@pmpbuhgm]

Me too, but unfortunately Misha might not bring the foot camera back as he previously mentioned that it might fall off and get stuck behind the brake or gas pedals and result in some fatal incident. Also, the commentators discouraged the idea of the foot camera to be continued.

[@pablosarchi]

@@pmpbuhgm yeah, i understand de risk of having the camera down there... but it's a shame for us, looking at the foot work is the best way of feeling the drive!

[@pmpbuhgm]

@@pablosarchi totally agree.

[@Jerberus]

So I'll just play devils advocate and say footcam is pointless. Rear view cam can tell its own stories from passing a car at speed to watching someone catching up to you, a slip up a driver had that wouldn't of been seen otherwise. So much more to offer instead of a magician telling you how the trick works while performing it. (Metaphor for what its like watching footcams.) Not kink shaming a foot fetish but not supporting it either.

[@stron2004]

Been following this E34 on instagram for months, finally seeing it going on a full lap. Thank you so much

[@SusloNick]

90s gangsta car

[@markmcgrath9098]

Christian this car sounds amazing. It really sounds like 5-6-7000rpm it’s just coming on song. Like it wants to rev forever. I love it. Really glad you got this lap and experience.

[@FlightSimXtreem]

4:40 you saw that E36 coming in HOT from the rear.

I wanna know the specs on that thing!

[@FlightSimXtreem]

Same, it must be FI or engine swapped.

He had one, and let it go.😢

[@imnota]

There was an e34 in Misha's past

[@TheCluelessEnthusiast]

I love that noise. Naturally aspirated bmw 6 cylinders are musical

[@masongilligan2856]

The S54 is just pure music to my ears, shows you don't have to have a thousand horse power to have an absolute blast on the track.

[@NeonMuffler]

quck specs on the car since ive gotten some interests: engine: S54B32 with csl airbox, Alpha-N tune (redline 8600), 3inch stainless steel exhaust, lighter single mass flywheel and sport clutch with stock e36 m3/e34 525 gearbox. overhauled 3.45 M5 rear diff and m5 brakes with yellowstuff pads in the video. soon running F30 335i 340mm brakes with ferrodo ds2500. KW v1 coilovers, adjustable swaybars with uniballs, rest is stock. mishimoto radiator with spal 16" fan, bigger oilcooler and servo cooler.

[@E34Jimmy]

Love this build. I personally love the S38 more than any other BMW engine, maybe the M50 too but what a heavenly sound.

[@bobnab1570]

my love of cars came from childhood memories sat on my dads lap going on holliday in wales and now i live here and my son learned on the same lanes . the roads in pembrokshire south wales will school you :P

[@nazarpredatorak]

E34, one of the best looking bms ever

[@IndiphileMgunculu-dw2jj]

10:23 plz feature that M3

[@dirksteffen9375]

I had no idea these were so heavy. I would have guessed something around 1450-1500 for the M5. Where did all that weight go? By todays standards the E34 is a fairly compact chassis … probably in the size of a current 3 series.

[@rotarypsi]

so tastefully done

[@DjNikGnashers]

Oh man, that is an amazing machine. Stylistically, I think the tinted rear lights are horrible, but the rest is great.

[@TheCMajor9th]

love seeing you drive dude you are an inspiration :) im amatuer driver but your videos are lots of fun ! :) keep up !

[@NoDoSwLa]

I was there on the day when the NSX was at the ring. I've seen it next to devils diner. Grounded, with all the wings and stuff and had a great laugh when i'v seen it on track afterwards in videos XD Because it didn't look like a owner of a car like that would tack it. I wonder if it went through the carussel XD Amazing NSX and that BMW is a 10/10!

[@IS300Spartan]

Wish we could have heard that 8600… sounded heavenly.

[@iceblu4713]

Sir I just found your channel and you are amazing!! Been binging these videos to get in the spirit of driving, can't wait to get my license in autumn and start driving by myself, I'm young and I'm tryna learn haha, God bless! 💯

no we dont need anything else than bmw on the channel. we LOVE and ONLY want bmw! At least for me :D

[@SGIMartin]

My 525i was stated to be 1420kg dry weight on the registration, and i dont believe the s54 adds much weight. The e39 is where they broke 1700kgs in the tourings

What a special car. I bet it would boogie when pushed too.

[@Induleo]

Looking forward on completing mine, this swap looks well done! By the way, please put it on a scale, it's not that heavy, an original M5 is around 1700kg, an original 525i is around 1500kg, the S54B32 compared to the M50B25 can't be 200kg heavier.

[@NeonMuffler]

i shall! honestly i have no idea, i feel its heavy hehe

[@Induleo]

@@NeonMuffler i would assume it will not be over 1550kg. ;) Mine will be based on a 520i and i plan it to be arround 1500kg.

[@ziofrenko]

3.8 is a great engine too

[@Jerberus]

Some cars almost feel like they are mad at you when you don't push them. I didn't get that feeling at all with this one, it just kinda said 'handle me however you want' and was totally chill with it.

[@elturco1707]

Who is the guy with the e36 compact at 4:53 (behind) ???

[@TheWindows1972]

You don't drive the car to the limit, you enjoy it ❤️

[@vitaliypetruk3872]

Misha, you are still a little out of sync with the clutch on these "low inertia flywheel" manual cars. It wasnt as bad as the porsche you drove but still noticeable. Don't be afraid to release the clutch quicker. That will prevent the revs from falling below the target revs for the next gear and then having to jump back up back again to sync with the wheel speed.

[@riadbenkabba8441]

I'd love to see an e420cdi w211

KW v1 coilovers, turner motorsport adjustable swaybars with uniballs, and the rest is stock, but its all new bushings. would like some other bushings and adjustable top mounts in the future, but everything need to be road legal here in Norway tho

It seems there is too much play on mounts. Notice the RPM gauge and sound while shifting.

engine mounts? they are very stiff, the cam on gauges can i a little out of sync

[@splaw120]

Why not full revs?

had to be able to drive it all the way home too, and besides sound its not much more gain by revving it further
