What a timeless design, already 20 years old, but even only 20 years old dudes love it... proof of an icon; brutal exhaust note, brings the famous S62 to life
Came to say the same thing. The hardware, okay I can understand reusing for whatever reason, but how much is for a couple of exhaust gaskets considering all that work done?
James Child exactly, doesn’t look like they secured the car on the dyno either. Chocks are not enough on their own. I don’t think I’d let them work on my car. They look a bunch of cowboys to be honest
I especially love how bmw promised s62 parts for 50 years when the Z8 debuted and now at 23 yrs a lot of parts are indefinitely backordered or discontinued
An E39 523i Touring was the car I grew up in and according to my father he never had any reliability issues with it over the many years he owned it. It's the reason the E39 Touring is my favourite car today and the reason why I will get one myself soon. A great car.
Chanel is growing Imran. Been watching these videos for years now. Keep the older BMW stuff coming. I ain’t doing much these days seeing as we are in lockdown in California.
Awesome! I stumbled across this video again and saw my old comments. I still think it sounds like a more rumbly S65. The E39 M5 was such a cool car. From the factory, they had that awesome deep dish wheel/tire. Awesome engine. Excellent suspension. Back then, they had the Clive Ownen advertisements too.
I'm dying a little inside everyday in heavy nyc traffic. the one saving grace is the m5's dual mass flywheel❤ It drives like an automatic with barely a glancing tap to crawl at 2mph sans clutch.
Ordered a pair of the Medusa headers and the Eventuri intakes for my E39 a few weeks ago. It's currently stock, so I'm stoked by the results in this video. Just going to have to be patient until they arrive.
Love this car. I had a 51 Plate, in Le Mans Blue. You guys supplied the Supersprint X Pipe for me. Brings back some good old memories. Amazing video as usual ❤
We have a few that were filmed and edited before the lockdown, so we’ll keep posting semi-regularly to try and help keep everyone entertained. Sooner this all gets under control the sooner we can all get back to normal 💙
Love the content guys. The S85b50 though is the most ICONIC engine from BMW in my opinion with regular and frequent maintenance they're just as bullet proof as anything!
I have 3 E39 M5s. My 2000 silver has 316k miles still has original bearings vanos and timing chain guides etc. These are built to last. My other one has 171k and my jet black 00 has 100k. Just do the tensioners as precautionary maintenance and change the fuel filter and do oil changes even if your not driving the car the 3-5k miles between oil changes. I recently did an oil change even though it had only done 500 miles but it sat in the garage for close to 2 years. I work on the cars myself and it’s a blast. All my cars are California cars so no rust or anything of that kind. If your in the market you should definitely buy one. But get one adult driven and with a service history. I’m the second owner of all 3 of my cars.
Just found your channel. Great content and great mods for the timeless e39. I love the engineering and quality of the supercharger kit you do. for the M5. Really impressive.

I don't deal with BMW's since I'm kind of a solid axle guy, but it's easy to appreciate the design work that goes into these cars. --That yellow labeled lower control arm with varying cross-section is awesome.

Thanks for filming this. You did a good job, and this car sounds excellent. Reminiscent of the E92 in terms of sound, but has a hair more rumble to it.
I really need to get my 2001 M5 back on the road... if anything to get it sold so someone else can enjoy it properly, but not until after I've had one more fling with it. Such nice cars and going up in value, even for high mileage examples.
I have a e39 528i, almost 300k miles and keeps on going. Wish I could get a M5 but all are really expensive collector cars or cheap trashed from people that bought them but couldn’t afford the maintenance
Really good video. Well put together & informative. Thought about an E39 M5 lots of times, just bought a Merc CL55 AMG but really wish it was manual instead of automatic. Keep the videos coming. 👍🏼
hamza is right....i owned cl55 with eurocharged tune powerful car but trans and diff is junk...now have e31 with s62 and is 5 times more fun. sold cl to a friend he is doing manuel trans so we will see how fun will be :)
9:21. That's an interesting header collector design. Is there a taper on the primary tube, and this all squeezes together like a ferrule/nut assembly, except with spring tension?
FBO S62 M5 will be 425hp or 369whp on a Dyno Dynamics Dyno so its making the same power as if its a stock 6.2L LS3 now and im seeing stock E60 M5's doing about 430whp on the same dyno so they really do make good power like a LS7 just less torque.
Love these cars! I daily drive my carbon black 2003. Has a muffler delete which really isn't loud since I still have the resonator in. Get nothing but compliments for it. Hell why listen to the stereo when I have the best sound coming out back? Would love to add some supersprint headers someday. Probably do that when the cats go out for a full exhaust overhaul. And now after watching this...time to go out for a drive!
Loved the entire video and appreciated the first three minutes with your insights on E39M5. Can you please share something on its comparison with E90M3? I am looking to purchase either one, would appreciate your thoughts!
Brilliant video yet again, love the way you film everything, do you use a camera around your head ? Never realised fitting the manifold took so much work, going from 360 - 425bhp must feel so much different especially with all that extra torque across the Rev range. Really miss my M5 now, mine was carbon black too. Hope your all safe. 👍🏻
I'm looking at the full SS exhaust as well including headers. I'm not looking for to make it louder, just improved power (but still NA) and weight reduction. I noticed you put the SS X-pipe vs. the SS resonators. Is there a significant difference between the two? Also, I don't believe it was mentioned which version of SS mufflers were installed on the car in this video, Performance, Race or F1? Do you have experience with the sound difference between the three muffler types? Thank you.
Have you stopped selling your own headers for the E39 M5? I was hoping to pick up a set in a few years when I head back to NZ, Not much point in buying them while I live in Germany. I guess you would recommend the supersprint as an alternative then. That exhaust is the best I've head on an S62 on youtube. Do you have experience with the Eisenmann sport/race? Can you compare? I get that it's subjective but a lot of the youtube e39 M5 exhaust videos are very raspy especially with an X pipe which I don't like and this supersprint doesn't seem to have any of that.
We can offer our headers on a group buy basis, sadly there isn’t enough demand for the RHD variant to keep them on the shelves. Supersprint manufactures our headers, so they’re the next best thing. Can’t say I have experience with the Eisenmann’s, but the Supersprint isn’t raspy it’s a very throaty V8 roar.
@@EvolveAutomotive Great, I hope there's still demand when I'm ready to buy then. Btw, your webpage for the LHD manifolds has the 'no longer stocked' message. It also refers to them as 'intakes', in case you want to fix that.
@@EvolveAutomotive if I could afford $2200 manifolds for my e39 I would definitely buy a set. Workin on doing the air temp sensor relocation shortly. Read that it’s good for 11hp and 16tq I seen y’all sell the kit.

just curious to know why did the owner of this particular E39M5 decide to go the supersprint headers route instead of the evolve's own medusa headers ...
They looked good, they sounded good and I wanted uniformity through the full system. Having said that I didn't really know anything about medusa headers, did I miss a trick ? how are they any better ?

i love this car hands down

...did you reuse the old manifold gaskets?😐
Would you rexxomend having chains done before it’s napped at mileage like this ?
At mileage like this preventative maintenance will be important yes.
For my first M car I’m considering one of these. What sort of money does a 160k mile + example well maintained go for ? And anything to look out for?
Hi bro
Can this exhaust system be installed on a e39 540i without any alteration?
Believe so yes from what customers have said, but we have never done it ourselves, so could not say for sure.
price tag?
New mainfold gaskets for the headers or???
Did the Alpha-n tune get rid of the pesky IAT sensor these cars lose power from? or did you guys do an IAT relocation? FANTASTIC VIDEO by the way!
We relocate it as part of the Alpha N tune 💪🏻
Nice vid. Being in the US where can I get this type of work done on an e39m5?
So how much did all the modifications cost to gain 45hp 🤔. I'm guessing it wasn't cheap??
Dumb question. Will the duct and hose routing draw any water in through the intake?
Only if you drive it in the rain 😂
It’s not connected…
Forever a classic. Are you guys still able to tune over a Dinan S2? Cheers
Yes we are able to do that.
what's the cost for this modification?
$4000 for headers is insane. Anyone who would pay that is insane
Depends if you want the ultimate e39 M5!
But the Power is at the wheel, isnt it? Though I can read "Flywheel Power".
Just nice to know, cause I didnt see you measuring the power loss of the drive train.
The Dyno Dynamics software calculates power at the crank, which is what it displays.

What size are the center caps?
