You guys are crazy. It’s nowhere that expensive. Would be a waste of money to spend $50-$80 on this platform... especially considering it does nothing but depreciate!

Now, Im not saying getting it done for a cheaper price is a bad thing as i know most people would be very budget conscious but its not for me. Normally when building a motor there are several different places you have to take it to and or companies you have to order parts from. Takes alot of researching. I however found a shop that did everything for me. Whenever i decided to do a built engine/big turbo build Dan (the owner of BPC) already had a full list of parts and necessary items that we would need to build the motor. He always asked whenever we had to buy any extra supporting mods and explained it with detail. He took care of everything. They worked on my car at least 4hrs everyday even though they were already completely booked with other BMW?s needing service. In the end I guess you could say i gained more than just a fast M5. They treat me like family. If i could have found a shop like them in the past i would have said the same thing...hurry up and take my money Here is a video of Dan ripping it up at VIR in his sleeper E30 with E39 M5 engine swap.

That’s why I sold my previous M5 and resurrected this one from the dead. Not saying doing this type of work is cheap in any way but everybody approaches things differently.

If you know the stuff and/or how to get the right people and things, then it will always be more cost effective than simply handing over to a single source for turnkey solution. I guess you're paying yourself for the time. I'm no expert in car rebuilts, but this is the always true in almost everything. Kudos to you guys for pushing the envelope on this platform and paving the road for future builders.

We may not have picked the cheapest route but we decided to get the best of the best quality and the most reliable. Ive put over 14k miles on the built motor with no issues and if we ever have any problems with the car its a one stop shop instead of multiple phone calls to different places to figure out a problem. |

All the above works - ultimately it’s the outcome. Personally I want to be involved (hands-on) in the R&D, the engineering, the tuning and ultimately the driving. There are certain things the experts need to do but everything else is certainly doable! Having built and raced cars for 25 years that’s worked for me.

Oh also forgot to mention if you are super OCD about stock wastegate rattle well... just get a set of external wastegates and huge turbos and that will solve that!

Idk why anyone would think thats a waste of money. Unless of course you do all or most of the work yourself. Those guys always think its outrageous for people to spend for turnkey options |

Turn key 1000-1200whp for $70k seems a bit high unless you are talking about a bullet proof transmission (not just clutches), upgraded diff, etc. Then I could def. see it being worth while. I don't know how many special tools are needed to build the motors like we have to use on the Porsche's (which I source out to the best in the USA (John @ EVOSpec)). Which would effect the cost of the motor being built, which I fully understand. Now if someone wants $30k and you to send the motor for upgraded rods/pistons/bearings with stock heads/cams then yeah that's a big no. There is some gouging going on at that point.

That was including the price of a 2013/14 70-100k mile m5 which is about 30 something...

Great, loved the E30 M3, amazing grip and turn in on that thing, very 'darty'. Well done, great to see the M5 keep up in terms of grip and poise. What suspension are you running ?

On the M5? Just KW HAS. The M5 is a boat. Still weighing in at 4400lbs. I have a beater E90 M3 for cornering duties.

Great results. Good to see that M5 performance research is ongoing and doesn't sleep.
