@@wearemahker I think so, manual 6 speed with lsd, should be fun.

I know it’s £25,000 for a basic spec conversion done by yourself, just interested in the difference in pricing that’s all.

@@georgewoodcock-ej8cb unfortunately building kits are just as intensive as installing them ourselves as I can guarantee you’ll be on the phone asking what goes where 😬

Look at a previous video. You’ll be paying it off for years dude. It ain’t cheap.

£25k plus vat Sir

Used set up £15,000 but no warrenty on the used engine. Fully reconditioned start from £20,000

It’s the same engine

@@wearemahker I know, hence why I suggested using the Range Rover plastic cover on the top.

OM606 is fantastic, but depending where you're from, its much more expensive than M57N2. OM606 also is much noisier if you care about that. Once OM606 is tuned, it consumes more fuel than M57N2. OBVIOUSLY both engines their pros and cons.

@e.e9331 I will tell you why I'm not fond of them and that's because I spent about 3 months trying to get one of them to boost without spilling huge amounts of smoke out. I then visited a dyno run with my dirty130 two years ago to be proven by facts shown that day that not one that made good power didn't belch smoke plumes out. If the argument was what's an acceptable engine that makes 390 bhp with minimum noise and smoke, I'd put my house on the line - the M57 will win, as we've built over 30 vehicles that do.

Unfortunately not something we offer

Genuine bmw e46 only

Yes we’ve only ever had one fail in over 50

That's a lorry engine. The 3.0L bmw is not!

@@_marcus_does_ you can't get reliable 700hp out of m 57

I'm sure you can't but have you ever driven a defender!

@@_marcus_does_ yes 3 had 3 brand new ones with with out dought the most unreliable vehicles we ever had , and bt6 engines take 600hp all day long infact some have been tuned to over 1000hp as the block can take it but you need forged rods and pistons and it gets very expensive.bt6 tuning is absolutely massive in the states. The m57 is a good engine so is the m54 petrol but the n57 punches holes in the blocks

We just don’t mention the Om…. (Chris)

Kindly remove yourself from my page Dave !

@@wearemahker Nothing like fishing hey!!!

If that's the case u may as well do a cummins swap. What exactly is wrong with BMW engines? Mercedes om606 are difficult to come by and parts are even more difficult to get.

Bollocks

I have worked professionally on Mercedes, BMW, and Land Rover. All three brands receive a bad rap for being unreliable. From my experience, this is due to incompetent owners who neglect their vehicles. I have seen vehicles from all three brands reaching well over 200,000 miles. Yes, they do cost more to maintain. No, the higher cost to maintain is no excuse to neglect maintenance.

Have you ever owned a M57? I ran one in a 2005 X5 never let me down. Used it for towing a twin axel caravan and sold it when it was 17 years old with 150000 miles on the clock, fantastic reliable engine!

@@BigpopsyX5 I'm sure the people complaining about the m57 engines didn't take care of them or got done in with a bad deal. I had an e46 330d and that car was a machine... Never had issues like the 320d engine.
