Matt Farah really enjoyed driving this very powerful 2000 BMW E39 M5. The project started when the current owner purchased the M5 with a swapped 2JZ inline-six. He then took it to Technica Motorsports in Atlanta, Georgia to rebuild the 2JZ with a 3.4 L stroker kit, upgraded internals and a large Garrett GTX 4508R turbocharger. The engine produces 800 horsepower now but after some tuning it should make between 1,200-1,400 horsepower. The owner is building the M5 to compete in 1/2 mile top speed events.

I admire skills and abilities necessary to do custom swaps like this. But some swaps don’t make sense to me. This is one of those.
When the current owner got it it was already had a 2JZ in it. Which was replaced with other 2JZ. Says that in the video.
i don’t admire the driving skill of the person driving it at all… but that’s just me
