Our BMW M5 Touring has a phenomenal V10 engine spitting out 500hp. But it has always been slightly let down by its automated-manual gearbox. Mike sets out to sort that issue by taking the car to Everything M to have its gearbox changed to a six-speed manual out of an M3. A 500hp, V10, manual estate car? That sounds like one hell of a recipe!

I have a 6 speed manual M6 here in the states. LOVE it! Don't let the haters tell you the SMG or DSC is better for this car. If you want to enjoy driving your V10 BMW then get/swap the manual, if you want ultimate performance get a race car. Also DSC off was available as a software update from 2008 I believe. Not sure what the TSB number is, but that's what google is for.

Great video guys! Mine is the other 'black' manual touring which they spoke of in the video (which incidentally is for sale). For anybody considering the swap - do it, you won't regret it.

Awesome!! I love that you guys have done this. I was once on a BMW training course and they had pre-production E60 M5's for us to play with. They said the shifting force needed to change gear in the auto box would need the equivalent of a 1.5 meter long gear leaver if it were manual 💪 Everybody loved the car, especially the sound of the V10 but hated the 'auto' box!! To this day its one of the best sounding cars out there, enjoy 😁
Darragh (The mechanic and boss from Eveyything M3s) looks like such a nice person and he knows what he is doing! 🙌✨
Excellent editing. Brilliant camera work!
The soundtrack between 10:25 and 10:55 is weirdly enough super inspiering, of course together with the beautiful camera job. Great upload, Drivetribe 🙂 As always. Love the V10. I will rate the sound as a 0.0045 on the Richter scale.
Enzo's spin was great, even the treat acting like something being catapulted out of the engine when it catastrophically fails is a nice touch
Great to see DT still around!!!
Absolute masterpiece. Video production, the Content & the magical rod bearing spin 💕
Great production value and top mechanic, looking forward to seeing the finale. Also cable ties, gaffer tape and bollocks is the best name for a band ever.
Outstanding editing on this one! Absolutely superb
Production level is really high in this video 👏👏 It was a joy to watch can't wait for further videos on the M5 estate 🤩
Loved the added sound effect for the cheers with the Irn Bru lol. Manual V10 M5 estate, Whats not to love.
really enjoying the deeper content the channel direction has taken. keep up the great work DT
V10 + wagon + manual transmission = perfection !! Awesome video, cheers from Brazil.
Am I seeing it right, that there is no Option for "DSC off" anymore? On an BMW M Car? Love the idea of the Manual swap on that thing, but no Option for DSC off, in a BMW, especially in an M Version seams not realy worth it.

yeah I was gutted when I heard that... I have a manual swap e46 M3, and if I were told that there would be no DSC off, I would rather stick with SMG. I believe since E60 manual swaps are very new there are still missing pieces in the puzzle, they will find a way to code it out in the future.

Cant wait to see the 1st drive, the manual swap will make such a huge difference and would love to see Ben take it for another spin for his reaction too

Appropriate gearbox - the E92 M3 engine is just the V10 from the E60 with two cylinders chopped off (even the rod bearing issue is carried across😁).

Thanks for sharing this video. I had an e60 saloon new, 2005-2010, and loved it. I loved the SMG box as much as Ben did in your previous video. It was an acquired taste and took a while to love, so the car was rarely loved by one-day-drive magazine journalists. And it was awful in “auto” mode- it needed the paddles. Your car definitely isn’t carbon black; I think it’s deep sea blue.

People with the SMGs really ought to run a RVS Technology transmission treatment in them. Completely transforms the transmission and pretty much eliminates the lurching. When driven right, the SMG in these is a lot of fun.
In reference to your ad spot and this magnificent upgrade; “Now, I am become manual, the destroyer of clutches.”
I don't care who says what, having owned a V10 ///M6 for 6 years, apart from driving in traffic (it was a weekend car anyway), that SMG box was absolutely sublime. I LOVED it!!!

DSC off is possible, you need a MDM panel from a US car and coding, it can probably be coded with existing panel using the tpms button. I have a 6MT swap and DSC off works just fine.

@@mikewest712 he was one of many who made this car famous, I own one my self in Florida sapphire black manual 08 , before had smg really issues on issues but both drove amazing, u just never want to drive smg in drive mode only manual mode all the time, but 8000 rpm shifts on smg was mental, manual don’t give me that feeling but now I can actually daily my m5 and not worried being stuck on a road in 1st gear.
When he said he reprogrammed the ECU I just thought of “Look at me, Look at me… I am the gearbox now.”
As an owner of a white m6 v10 traction control off is a must. SMG is not as bad as people say on the road, city probably its where it shines less. 6 years and 40k put on it, beauty of a car.
These are essentially manuals I believe it’s the correct thing to do as the smg gearbox is terrible. Personally I would avoid the e60 and the e46 due to the vanos and gearbox issue’s. E92 M3 is the better all rounder.
Gotta get James in, get Ben in, I guess Hammond paid for it so have him there too
Rate Enzo's spin out of ten? He *is* a ten! He's freakin' gorgeous.
All credit to the job done and videos so far its been great to watch... this M5 is getting treated properly unlike many others on KZread. So now to get the DSC so it will turn off or at least allow the M hero mode (because perma ON is a straight no chance for me having the conversion) and get some long tube headers and a remap to finish her off. Im still a little sad it didnt go DCT route because the manual ive tried on the E46 M3 and V8 M3 were both mediocre and had poor shift feel compared to say an old Porsche Boxter or Honda s2000

Drive tribe doing this swap means that for all the people that still WANT a automatic but don’t want the manual (if you’re that kind of insane person or genuinely don’t know how do drive a manual) the M3 DCT box will fit but will have more labor and coding to work SOMEONE DO THIS
Love the camera work on the video
why opinion polls were against it weren't they
You could stop making videos about the M5 and make videos about Enzo, I'd watch them any day. That spin was 5/7
I now undestand why M539 Restauration bought the US Manual model in the first place.
Enzo, they don't make numbers big enough to rate your spin! Awesome pup! Loved to this video Mike. Top work.
You should have changed out the main bearings in that V10 when you swapped it. Might help it last another 5k miles. These engines are the running joke of the automotive world.
Would be nice if you guys sold a kit so it’s plug and play for us home mechanics. Sell the manufactured bits, the wiring look and the few other bits that we can’t find at the parts yard.
Great project, super edit! Can't help but think about doing it the other way around though and putting the V10 in a M3 E92 manual :O
