Ah yes. I'd vote it for the best sounding BMW motor for sure!

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

I am impressed that guy could squeeze the S85 in there. The build thread indicates he spent $20-30k, not including the Touring.

indeed, it is crazy how good it sounds. almost good enough to buy an E60 M5.
i wonder how much more it weighs.... longitudinally it would not hang as far forward (V10 vs I6), but if it weighs more.... well, in a Touring that might bring the weight distribution back to 50/50.(stock is 49F/51R.)

How about a V12 & manual gearbox in an e53 X5!

I actually looked this up a while ago when I stumbled upon that s85 wagon on the inter webs. Apparently the s85 only weighs 60-70 lbs more (if I recall correctly) than the s54. Of course the s54 weighs quite a bit more than the m54.indeed, it is crazy how good it sounds. almost good enough to buy an E60 M5.

The correct answer is always LS. Small, lightweight, fuel efficient for a V8, cheap to mod, cheap to maintain. Who wants to help me LS an NB1 Miata?

Manual? I wish! It was a 6 speed auto... Only the 3.0 was available in manual and those parts couldn't be used to adapt the V8

Wiki quotes the S85’s weight at a portly 529 lbs. Highly accurate (see: random) internet sources approximate the M54B30’s weight around 375 lbs
