He's just doing a smooth, calm test on the car :)

I'm amazed, incredible swap! And makes the car a whole lot better in every day use, I suppose? One question: did the gearbox require a custom bellhousing to couple with the OM606?

[@V8freaks]

Is it the 8HP70 gearbox from ZF? Which controller do you use? I've never seen anything as crazy as this

[@babybenz.190]

It is the ZF8HP75. The controller is from TurboLamik.

[@ahmadhuzaifahahmadfauzi]

Cool! Now put the 8hp in an 190e.
