Watch as we finish putting the S65 into the much lighter BMW 1M. Love it or hate it, you have to admit it's an interesting swap with a lot of potential.

Part 1 of a 2 part series. Our next video will demonstrate the swapped beast on the dyno and on the road. So, make sure you are subscribed! ‪@BrintechCustoms‬

Weighing the motors is great a content idea

It’s amazing that extra bolt hole for the subframe is even there!

I love these E82, I own a 135i, looking at this video I´m feeling like replacing my engine too, the s65 gives an awesome sound

There's a 1M in Perth that has been converted to an S65. Absolutely stunning car.

Love to see it! Please focus on the wiring part, having a hard time figuring it out here in the United States

Thinking about swapping the s65 into an e34 I already have a n62+6 speed manual ready to swap in but this sounds 10 times as fun

Watching this wondering if I can be a mad scientist and put an s85 in my z3 roadster

Have you guys swapped this S65 engine and g/box combo into an E46 M3?

@harrywilkinson444 3 years ago

Great commentary and content. Curious as to the weight difference between a 1M S65 car versus an E92 M3

I've been trying to find information about putting an s65 into an e28 BMW. It doesn't appear anyone has posted information about this engine swap, if it has been done. Anybody have an idea of the feasibility of this, and if space permits supercharging it. It would be hilarious if we could manage it.
