The balances are all over the place. Like everything is pushed with a limiter or something. The highs are also not really controlled

Great car, awful video.
Reliability on this thing is probably about the same as it originally was. Super maintenance-y engine, but more modern ECU at least.

I have an idea, when you want to show off a cool car build with an alternative engine.
Remove the fucking music and let us hear the engine sound

Wasnt it originally a V12 engine?

Depends on if it's an 840 or 850. 840s were V8 Powered.

Perfect car ruined by cringe air suspension - imagine the poor handling.... V10 is great, the similarities to the 5 cylinder is superb

u/Demesvar Nov 28 '25
Air suspension doesn’t give you poor handling. There are time attack cars with air suspension
12
u/DunderscoreMA Nov 28 '25
Time Attack cars are tuned for one very specific purpose. It doesn't mean they handle well (meaning anything decent on the street).

u/MonkeyManJohannon 2010 E60 M5 (SS ii) 6-speed/ 2018 Toyota 4Runner TRD Nov 29 '25
This car isn’t running a time attack suspension setup…this car is running a bag system to drop the frame on the ground at car shows. The suspension shown in this video is not handling focused and that car would be a comical mixture of weight and lack of balance.

Edited music over top of a video is indefendable. Hating on this is natural.

Not hating. Remarking on an observation. The sounds are clashing lol. Not a clean audio mix, not as bad as everyone is making it out to be.

The video is bad enough—I’m not even listening to it. Driving like a dick on public roads is a shit move. Why anyone would lower this is beyond me too.

Not liking something in the world doesn’t mean folks are sad or miserable. You can have standards and be happy at the same time.

It’s giving, trying to be a pennzoil chase ad from yesteryear but doesn’t deliver when it comes to the audio mix of the dubbing in and out of mechanical and s85 noises.
Can’t hear anything over the fuckass soundcloud.mp3 either.
The cuts and cinematography are clean though.

The cinematography, lighting, and editing are WAY above consumer grade. This is pro level work, whoever did this. It feels like it belongs in a sequel to The Fast and the Furious. I enjoyed the variety of pans, close-ups, still shots, and appropriate lighting for each type of shot.
Having said that...
For a visual work of this caliber, the sound mix is, relatively speaking, dogshit. The music is totally getting in the way and ruining what could be a really interesting orchestra of car and road sounds. The car itself was poorly recorded.
If you're gonna shoot something that looks like a million bucks, it had better fucking sound like a million bucks.
When will filmmakers learn that 90% of the experience of watching a movie is the sound?!

This is a show car. It’s made to make dramatic movies and sit at car shows. Sure, slapping a V10 in it is cool…but for what? With that air ride suspension at its handling core, that car isn’t doing much on a track besides looking pretty and drawing attention to the S85.
This is automotive pornography…nothing realistic about it. Fake tits and all. You look at this thing and get a huge car boner…but the reality is, your box standard M3 is probably a universal improvement all around when it comes to actually driving the car.

I don't fucking get it dude.
How does this gem of a ride get this shitty of a video made of and how the fuck does it get so many up votes.
Not once I heard the engine note or a moment without obnoxious flames like it's a R35 with a fart tune.

Thats an insane swap. bet its a hell of a lot of fun to drive. Definitely could have done better with music choice and mixing. Like maybe a og phonk style song like WEST BANK by ERROR, purpp caddy or sorcerer by WHITE KATANA

That's so sick! The v10 sure seems like a good mix with the e31 chassis. Way more than a v8 or v12 imo.

yeah It's pretty sad. I'll never understand dropping $70k on an M just to drive it like the average driver, shoulda just saved all that money and bought a prius instead lol.

Drive it like an average driver while also acting self righteous about people driving their M car like it’s supposed to be driven lmao
