Check out this 6-speed, V12 powered awesome 5-series for 20 grand.

This is opulence.
I don't know what's rarer though, finding a M5 in need of a new engine, or an 850 with an engine to donate. This swap is so surprising, but it makes so much sense.

The want is strong....strong indeed.

It's wonderful, NP all the way!
Shame that what appears to be such a nice build only gets one close-up shot of the engine but no shots of the entire bay. Also, no shots of the build itself. Maybe they're hiding something?

Hmmm it's cool, but I wouldn't touch that V12. It's a massive V12 that is overly complex and not making much power. Only 380 HP for so much complexity and cost? No thanks.

NP for the right enthusiast. Too much frightening for me.

A little illogical to be sure....but the sound and the torque must be awesome in this car.
My personal preference would be the M70 with the aluminium block, and then have Powerplant, Korman, or VAC build it up to around 600 hp or so. It can be done. Hell, they can pretty much turn it into an S70/2 (McLaren F1 engine).
