This is how you deal with failure. You admit something happened and you put it in the preamble. Then you suggest ways to fix it. Very well done, guys. *Respect*

No worries, Mike. Even seasoned experts run into project dead-ends from time to time. Thanks for the transparency though! It's appreciated out here. :) Keep up the awesome work, Team Ninja!

That car just looks too clean to be a donor car, what a waste. 👍

Well - very unlikly to be a "waste" since it can't be used - it can be sold.

I was originally thinking, man what a waste of labor money only to find out it won't work. But on the bright side, it's basically just a clutch replacement job up until this point, granted you did also remove the shifter assembly. But maybe it wasn't all a waste if you throw a new clutch in?

At this point Johnny can take it apart but can he put it back? I love how he keeps reiterating that he is done with this car 😂. Mistakes happen and at least you are willing to show that things don’t always go as planned. Keep up the good work!

Well that conversion project is a spectacular crash and burn. Guess we'll have to wait for the rest of the story.

even with a different bolt pattern the 645i manual can be made to fit as you probably only need a specific custom-made adapter plate. However, you will need the pedal mounting etc from the 6 coupe. Even a Merc AMG 55 can be converted with a manual Nissan gearbox using a custom-made adapter plate.

If the bellhousing flange is the only thing that is different, it should be no big problem to CNC the correct flange, cut the wrong one off and weld the correct back on. Its beeing done all the time in europe to use the BMW 530D transmission for 2JZ engines, since we dont have good access to the Tremec transmissions like Americans do.

The 645 needs to be saved. It's an awesome car.

If this was the wiz, he'd be saying don't leave, you've got a bill, and then laughs. Stuff happens, throw a new clutch in, have the car detailed by hoovies detail guy, and send it down the road. G-d bless you fellas from a lady in michigan. Jonny, thanks for darn near running when tyler acted like that shifter was part of his man parts, the wiz would have played along and been even more obnoxious acting like young teenage boy's.

There's no way I would have known it's the wrong one.

I wonder what hoovies doing with that shift lever now.😂 you gotta laugh or you’ll go insane

Awesome! Thx a million from sunny Phoenix, Arizona, USA

Nobody’s perfect 👍🏼 Good stuff guys enjoying these Ninja videos so much !

Plot twist, Tyler played us all and it was all a prank and excuse to bury the M6 into the ground 😂

You still learn new stuff every day

There’s usually people in the comments that really do know what they’re talking about. I’m glad you guys aren’t arrogant and just dismiss everything.

Love the LaRue sweatshirt, Mike!

Let's get an update on the Ninja's Ferrari.

That car is so clean underneath , no leaks.

Parting out that old 6 series might pay for the whole project after time, but that takes awhile.

One of the issues with M6 and the rest GT size cars is bushings being much softer. Upgrade or fill in air gaps on OE bushings, and the car will feel much more direct.

Thanks bro I learned quite a lot from watching this ❤

Re-Stocking fee chronicles should be the name of this video 😂

Johnny is probably just happy to see that red BMW - the M x-6 out of his parking lot. Think it will grow that M back on Hoovie's Farm? 😂

You know the video is a banger when the camera man jumps out from behind the 4th wall....😅😅😅😅😅

This is good news for all the people who didn’t want to see the convertible killed.

I saw that post about transmission wouldn’t fit and wondered if it was true

It should just have a new clutch put in and get put back together. Tyler should just have EuroAsian Bob sell it on consignment. It would make a nice stock weekend toy for someone.

I'm glad this car will go on to a new owner who will enjoy it rather than letting it die.

Bummer, but I always seem to learn more when things go wrong.

you did what you could. hope you end up getting a good pair o bmw in the end

Here in Germany no BMW Dealer is touching that.. Johnny was just doing Tyler a favour. These professional maintenance shops like Johnnys GMW don't have time for it.

Amazing and brilliant! Thank you :)

Learning something new is a win, even if it's the hard way.

Hoovie doesn't seem to have much luck with BMWs. Its a shame this one will become a parts car. And now Ninja knows what bits fit what models, every day's a learning day.

Great explanation

The smart thing would be to do any maintenance since it's and engine and transmission out and put it back together. to be sold. lol

Great intro thanks.

Another GREAT video !

‘Best laid plans of mice & men’….the silver one seems in good enough Nic to warrant a sympathetic makeover…

1:18 epic shirt brother

The underside of the donor car is immaculate, damn.

Interesting. Is it the entire transmission that's different or just the bolt pattern? Could you swap a bell housing from the E90 M3 manual transmission and put it on this one to make it fit?

perhaps this swap is about to get very unique. custom fab work is expensive though

Since the ninja wasn’t consulted by hoover before the idea was hatched, he is still THE NINJA👍well to me anyway!

Interior is very useful to swap over. Just get E90x M3 transmission new from BMW. Used ones are abused many cases. New one will increase swap value.

the transmission is out, might as well do a service on it and put it back in

Take the best bits and part the rest of the car out...Hoovie gets the correct E90 M3 transmission. Jonny fits it and Tyler gets a great manual M6... Simples...

How about some videos on the E83 X3?

That 4Runner is the best car in the shop

It happens. No harm done. It's not like both cars are complete scrap.

Give that viewer something for the heads-up 😊. That viewer is a smart cookie 🍪 😊.

Oops… ouch. It’s surprising BMWs are popular even with expensive engine problems. Imagine doing this job without any power tools or ratcheting wrenches.

We live in a world we’re everyone says things can’t be done but with the right know how and right tools you could make it fit if some one can fit a four wheel drive dsg gear box from a golf to a Honda civic by making adapter plates the same could do done with that just a case of what at your disposal?

(Trol) You are aware that is the wrong transmission aren't you? Sorry, I had to.... Nice of you guys to address the error at the beginning of the video. Keep up the good work!!!

Imagine doing this much pointless work because you assumed Tyler of all people wouldn't have made a major, glaring, obvious mistake.

I also thought it was the wrong transmission, I was hoping you guys knew something I didnt and were going to make it work somehow.

It's lucky that master was a week out or else Ninja would have torn down the M6 for no reason.

Poor guys, you can tell it's affected this guy too.
