I've always had a soft spot for E34s. Would like to get my hands on one in the near future.
This is the coolest thing possibly ever
V12 peasants ! Low key sounds like a broke timing belt on start up
lol, yup so many compression cycles it sounds like no compression
Yo stache long time buddy how's that m5 going? I'll head over to your channel to see what's going on 👍🏻🇬🇧
DBO so it’s the 6.0 litre V12 ?
Yo Stacheman ✌️
@@blondsuper1751 5 liter v12, 6 liter was removed around 15 years ago
8.8:1 compression damn. Rebuild the motor, bigger cams, valves and possibly a TURBO! That’s really good compression honestly this engine was made for forced induction
I’m not an expert but you could forge new internals man. You could really make this thing fast.
The problem would by the crank. If it's not forged from the factory, or no factory v12 crank that can swap, good luck. Pistons and rods is easy. But some guy made a 1300hp m70 so if he can find and source the same parts he did, he would be golden
I have seen one twin turbo m70, makes almost 1000hp with 15psi boost, internals are lookin same than m50 internals. So with better headgaskets it’s strong engine.
Heh, I remember doing that swap.
That's awesome this confirms everything we know about the car!
I wanna do it on an e36 is it easy ?
Would be more difficult in an e36, lots of subframe and oil pan modifications would be required.
@@DENVERBEERANDOIL ah i see then i wont find a manuel gearbox for it.. So gd bye v12... Maybe ill swap an s50
S50nis good, s54 fits right into an e36
8:55 "all in one thing" DIDN'T MENTION SCHNITZER RIMS, DAMMIT!
type of builds I’ll do with my money. This is how wealth should be spent lmaoooo. Everything about this is cool
So cool! It's probably a nightmare to change spark plugs but it's worth it! The 6 speed is just the icing on the cake! I think the only thing that I'd like more (just my taste) if it was a wagon or a "touring" I believe is the BMW lingo. But still AWESOME!
What's so special about the "Wagon" version of E34's?
Been waiting on this video! So badass, the M70 often gets overlooked because of power figures but who cares when not much can beat that sound and around town driving.
Torque is too underrated!
That thing loves boost
Honestly, this would fit better in the first Transporter movie 🔥
But the e38 535 in that movie did pretty good.👌🏼
M73 with tune and exhaust makes 315whp through the auto. 20 percent drivetrain loss. If you do the math, that's 400 crank. Do an m70b54 hybrid- m70 heads, m73 bottom end, and retain m70 electronics and management. There's a write-up by wokke on bfc, who also makes chip tunes for such an m70b54. This is not electronically involved like a full m70 to m73 swap, which will likely need a full donor car for computers and harnesses. M70 DMEs are more widely accessible and more open to modification than m73 DMEs as well.
I didn’t know Shia LaBeouf was into bimmers.
Those oiled up hands shows you mean mechanical business
Cool car, I know what that rattling was. The trim under the wipers in the center where it connects can flap at high speeds. My E34 does that on the Highway sometimes in crosswinds , I think. I love the E34 content, esp when you guys show the M5s. Eventually, I want to swap my 93 525iAs M50 for an S54 and manual trans ,but it still runs so good even with the GM automatic trans, which I recently , pan dropped and filter changed to Redline synthetic , it even shifts flawlessly @ 254K. It was my Dad's car that I picked out for him that I inhereted from him so I daily it and call it the "Old Man's" car.
I'll have to look into that. S54 E34 would be awesome, but the M50 is so bulletproof it's hard to get rid of. I love it when these cars have stories besides "I found this cheap on Craigslist." These were really cool cars 30 years ago and all of them have cool stories.
Those brakes also came on some e32 750i cars. I have them on mine that we imported in 2001.
they didn't, 750 had solid disc vs this floating one that is bigger, 750 caliper says BMW, E34 M5/E31 850 CSi says ///M, floating disc is motorsport technology, first introduced with the E34 M5 to serial cars, has now become the standard for high performance cars
Very cool car! They should really make those classic models again! They should launch a classic line Mercedes and BMW so clients can choose!
You can actually buy a 'new' restored w124 from Mercedes Brabus classics. Pity there are no new e34 options at BMW though
Aaaaaawesome! That V12 fits so well in that e34 engine bay!
I’m here to tell ya that rattle at 70 80 is the plastic cover for the windshield wipers lol ask me how I know !
Amazing car. I am so jealous in a good way:) I have an E38 740i and 3 x E39s and would love to add an E34 to my collection some day. Really enjoyed learning about the v12 swap
What's up Man! So it's been about 2 years since you posted this video and I'm dying to know about your experiences with this beast since owning it - how's it been the good, the bad and the ugly. I have a touring and considering the same swap, currently doing research b4 actually jumping in to it so, any advise would be greatly appreciated.
this is cool!! but this project is not finished yet!! you know what to do... TWIN TURBO BABY lol
There’s this sandpaper type of soap you can buy cleans up the greasy hands like you work in a cubicle.
Boraxo is badass and like $12 at ace . Huge box last forever and it’s abrasive you can feel the sandy or grainyness on your hands .
OH THANK YOU for this.... "back in the day" late 80's early 90's I had a magazine here in the UK with an article about some one in Europe putting a V12 in this generation of BMW 5series, oh I read that article over and over cheers.
I had an E30 vert V12 with G560.. standalone etc
How could 26 people downvote this amazing car.. wow.
I agree, such a great car, new video on it coming soon
Well Done, looks und sounds great. I agree with you about the M70 and M73 engine. I know for what about I talk, I got a M73 in a 850CI and the torque is realy massive. It are only 540 Nm, but that makes fun. Of course, modern engines have much more torque, but they have mostly a turbo or compressor. For my opinion are the not charged motors the real ones, just injection or carburetor.
Have fun and many greetings from Germany!
That engine bay would have stains on it if I had it
First of all, respect for your E34 V12 conversion. another thing to mention, your engine compartment will get too hot. You should attach vents to your hood so that the heat can escape. PS: a hot engine cannot fully bring the engine performance. higher consumption and can damage the mechanical components.
You have with 6 more cylinders than you need, that's why it's not fast.
I was exspecting way more horsepower I mean cmon v12 and only 300 something still awesome though 🤷🏽♂️😂😂
32 years ago, 300 horsepower was not bad at all.
the 300 hp of a BMW v12 with a 6 speed , sings the songs that should'nt have been sung
American V8’s only had 180 hp at the time 😂 A little over 200 hp if you’re lucky.
Abdur Raqeeb Anwarullah-Lewis here in sweden its a Volvo 740 with that v12 twin turbo makes around 1200 hp... (and u dont buy a luxury BMW from the 90`s if u want to go fast)
FELIXBB E34 for life brother😂
You need 4cylinder one too :D e34 with M42 swap or something
I’ll make sure Chris has this happen
@@DENVERBEERANDOIL absolutely. Turbo m42 in an e34 would be the ultimate luxury auto-x car. M42's can handle ~550 crank hp with stock internals and arp hardware. Crazy little motors. Currently building one with 350hp for my daily 318is lol. Easily the best underrated bmw motor ever.
They made those as 518i with an 1.8L not sure which one exactly, but there are a lot in Greece and i`m pretty sure all around europe
In Estonia ,we have them too, but those are M40B18 and M43B18 slow little motors. M42 has little more power.
@@janjakobi2707 m40 with worn out camshaft would be great
345mm front, dope as fuck floating disc brakes, racing technology right there, first serial car with floating disc brakes afaik, less than 2000 cars had these from factory, so those brakes are much more rare than you might think.
Oh hey. I thought that car looked familiar.
I never thought 2 years after buying the bumpers from you I would end up with the whole car. Glad you didn't end up parting it out.
@@DENVERBEERANDOIL When I saw one of your videos recommended to me I realized who it was and went looking to see if there was anything about that E34 you had told me about. And yeah, that car is the only exception for me selling a car whole that was worth more in parts. Glad to see it again in good hands. A manual M70 is so much more fun than the output numbers would have you expect. A nice M73 bottom end and the M70 might be my favorite swap in an E34 given cost/OEM+ feel, etc.
S6S 560G=German Unicorn Poop on an input shaft
This is the sorta car that you see at a show, question its legitimacy and then question why you will never be able to buy one 😆. If only BMW produced a car like this back in the day
what a rad car good luck with it
Somehow! We MUST get you guys more known the the car World!! This channel is one of the very best on YT yet the views are hovering at the same area. It's sure not because you don't deserve more that's for sure!! It's just you need one break out vid IMHO.
I appreciate that amigo!!! We feel the same way... And believe me we would LOVE it if that happened. If you think the content is good now, wait until we can afford to do this full time! This is a side gig right now. Thanks for the love and support!
An engine swapped engine swap with a new kombi cluster. Yeah, it'll have 300,000 miles on it
Really cool E34!
Power delivery is so smooth
SUBSCRIBED! V12 Stick Shift? All hail the unicorn! My dad had a 750 IL about 20 yrs ago, should have bought it from him. Loved the V12 sound even with stock mufflers. And wierdly, the sound of the starter as well. My DD is a mildly tuned '94 Audi S4 Quattro with the 5spd of course. Another unicorn. I'm in Thornton - let you drive mine if you'll let me drive yours
One of my favorite E34 V12 in TexFest2020! Can’t wait to see it again next year 🔥🤘🏻
Hey! I saw my car! That M5 you flashed while talking about Koala is mine. It has an S70 though.
That's badass man, so the 6liter is still out there somewhere
@@DENVERBEERANDOIL unfortunately the Hartge 6.0 died from an oil pressure issue years ago. I'm not sure if they ever rebuilt it though. Are you certain your car had a Hartge 6.0 in it previously?
Positive, I have pictures. was removed in 2005 by Koala to be put in an M5
@@DENVERBEERANDOIL So the plot thickens. That adds up. My car had the S70 until the Hartge was installed in 07 according to the receipt.
Then the Hartge blew and the S70 was reinstalled.
My 4 cylinder in 120i also feels cool, and it's not that quick. Nice car!
So sweet you got Trevor's 550i! That cars has parts from one of my e32 750il parts car, parts on it! Congrats!
sweet merciful hell this is the sickest e34 ever... this is one to keep, improve, and preserve forever. congrats on the purchase man, wow. can't wait to see more of it here and there
7.31....engine sound😂😂😂😂😂
Hi here is a cliche " I know a guy " , he is a maestro chef and has created the perfect recipe. He is a ex Formula One and IMSA engineer .This guy really knows how to solve issues. Add a fantastic builder to cook our recipe and you will end up with a Michelin star cook. Both of these guys where building race engines before most of us were but a mere sperm in mummies eye. The problem with m73 is poor heads with roller cams and very limited lift possible with the cams , other is exhaust ports.these ports normally limit how much power is possible unless of course you add some hairdryers for boost. Yes there a many who have created some awesomely powerful meals this way. Alas for abosolute taste I believe you would end up with a meal that is overcooked . These ports are difficult to get right and involves a little pre cad design black magic. There is a solution use m70 heads with some black magic on the exhaust ports ( most people try wrong shape and eat into water jacket ) . Now lots of lift available and ports that can flow for high power instead of limo torque. Without getting the exhaust ports right no amount of cams, bigger valves, throttle bodies etc will make much difference. The m73 heads will never be able to have enough lift and rev hard enough for a really good feast.
Changing the heads is essential.
Now when putting your meal together you will be required to add some nice rods, better valve springs , retainers etc. You know the usual herbs and spices.
Before you really start to get it hot add some nice pipes designed for the actual cam timing
With proper magic sauce on the cam timing and adding 12 servings of throttle bodies , you should be able to make this meal have all the high notes and powerful flavours that the Italian chefs do so well.
Seriously don't put all of this in too big of a plate. A E34 should have the perfect size for the job.
When cooked serve immediately .
Warning ; this recipe will require specialist chefs to achieve the full 8000rpm with over 550 Clydesdales and hand of God push in your back.
I loved my E32 750il . Okay only 300 horses but these are full bodied Clydesdales not whimpy thoroughbreds. 100 kmh to 160 very impressive. Now take away 400 kgs add a bigger capacity, high compression, lots of revs and steroids. Turn it up to basically twice the power to weight ratio ( E32 to E34 with crap removed) and of course a manual . I like a good firm ass that doesn't wobble so substitution with a E39 wagon rear might help with emulsification.
This makes a full bodied meal that will have you salivating at every opportunity. A great chef can create a masterpiece out of materials that others just make a meal. The average Dinan or whatever big dollar restaurant will leave you wanting for more flavour and robustness. And then of course when you ask for the cheque there will be a long lasting bitter aftertaste.
The Chefs are slowly cooking and will serve in good time.
In answer to obvious questions . This is a closed kitchen at present . Customer engines will be available when the chefs have served. The recipe is the IP of the chefs.
I'm not totally sure what I just read, but I greatly enjoyed it. I think the next iteration will be just a basic M73 with custom headers. I have a low mile regasketed m73 sitting on a stand right now, but 8000 rpm and 500+hp sounds like blast. Maybe I'll start building another one over the next couple years, doesn't sound cheap to achieve.
Hi with standard heads and cam timing custom headers are just a waste of time. Look nice but really just Botox .
Stupid clean body on that thing Chris! Yes, the m73 will definitely run on the obd1 DME, and its great this way to get around the emissions B.S. I couldn't imagine how much a set of Shricks would cost for that engine. Probably a small fortune. It sounds great too. S85 in and e34 m5 will be the end all be all e34. I too have a huge thing for the e34. I've owned 5 of them, and would have more if I could afford to build them all like I wanted to. Korman was one of the original BMW tuners back in the day. I'm sure they did a great job with the swap and didn't cut corners. Thanks for sharing this dude!
Thanks Pete, always look forward to your comments
Congratulations on an awesome car! 😍
Have always been a fan of the E34. Love this build!
It goes 200 mph
glad to have found this channel. love it
I think it's about time for an update 👋🏾😁 please ! What's new with this beauty, any mods, updates, driving clips 😁
this is a sick swap :)
you can add dual turbo with after market fuel injection system and retune with custom ecu.u can fly
that would honestly wreck the build. just adding turbos, you will break the clutch because a 750/850 clutch is not made to handle such power
DBO for President!!!!😍
How are you finding cars like this, everyone in Denver is selling broken e30s for 10k
Great car! I’d love to see all the bmws Chris Owens
Owns*
Open Up that exhaust more she finna scream💪🏾
Best car forever,i have one BMW E34 525i 1989
More v12 content! I’ve seen a few builds with the same engine in an e30!
More coming soon
E30 with a heavy v12 in the nose !
Will never have traction or balance
Subscribed just for the dirt under fingernails. Stayed for gearhead awesome!
not my favourite 5 series but this is so sick
THE dream car
"V12 Manual E34 [...] Ultimate Daily Driver" ... if you are head of BP or SHELL maybe
Did a 300 mile mountain cruise this weekend. 19mpg with mostly spirited driving
That car is sick, I love it
talk about a trip down memory lane..... my dad let me use his E32 750iL while i was in high school. 2 weeks later i crashed it trying to be Lewis Hamilton on public roads. 😁
Nice, its should have way more power for av12😉
Who loves bmw understand what it is
Great car.😎🔩🔧👍
I loved my E34 😞covid forced me to sell it although the vauxhall omega I replaced it with is a nice car to drive but not a patch on the bmw
Me too 😢 actually I sold mine to this guy lol
@@diormakinglemonade4899 no way man hahaaa at least you know it's gone to a good home,mine was on 18s mv2's from an E60 with a stainless cat back lowered on m5 suspension and it was in Ascot green, getting rid of it was like dumping a hot girlfriend that's got bad habits lol bitter sweet 👍🏻🇬🇧
Stuart oliver I was bone stock. 530i 😷 but I was garage kept with minimal issues
@@diormakinglemonade4899 you'll get another one mate I know I will,just need to get this covid thing out of the way
That compression is sooo low. Rebuild it and add 30 psi too it baby
You can add about 30 horsepower if you get the dinan chip
The V12 engine is found only on the 7 series E32.but how come this e34 got one?
This e34 was swapped by a shop in 1996
The is one sick ass car damn. Is a piece of art. Classic
I see a lot of mayhem coming
It needs a 12k thousand dollar exhaust so it sounds like a super car
#stradman
Can you/Have you ever seen the Mercedes Benz w140 engine Modded and with a manual transmission? Is it possible to get major horse power out of those engines?
Beautiful.
Mint. Engine the m70 is so fucking smoooth 👌🔥
I love e34's
I'm sorry but RUclips has taught me that you are only allowed to call your Smartphone your Daily Driver
love it. 99% of your head bobbing was.. oh yeah... sweeet
And also an E34 V12 auto
M70 or M30 turbo, what route would you take
M70 twin turbo, 😆.....I would take an m30 turbo for power and reliability. M70 for cool factor and highway cruising.
@@DENVERBEERANDOIL yea that's the problem. I'm after all of those except highway cruising (dosent effect me) I was going to do a NA m30 but it's alot of money and would be a highly stressed engine to get a similar output to a stock m70. Turbo will always win power wise, but I just don't like the sound and it's been done a million times. The cars an e28. What do you reckon boys ...
Like a little kid! Just how I would be!!
Omg that is soo sick !!
Did you get any closer to the 375hp?
Super cool 😎
7:30 Sound like a Mclaren F1 starting up.
Mclaren F1 has Bmw V12 engine.😎
@@marioturkalj3126 Yes, with 627horsepowers...naturally aspirated :-).
That needs headers RIGHT NOW! And put the resonators right by the end of the headers and straight pipe it back.
Will continue to regret not doing the 2 for 1 special on my e32 and copping a v12 to boot 😭😭
there's a red one here along with a v-12 318ti here in El Paso..
Random qtn.... What's the most power that an e34 can be produce with stock internals... All engine variants would be nice to know....
no offense but i'm wondering why it sounds like m52:(
You need a $12,000 exhaust!
Saw a red 850 ci swapped one for sale for 9 k € but the interior was all chopped up and fitted with screens
i love your videos, DBO=🔥
and by the way is the k swap comming soon
Nice rig man.
