Thank Dennis, I thought someone would of somewhere, I would imagine it would be quite a car, V8 performance with rack and pinion steering, it would be a bonus to me to hear that 6 pot noise as well.
If you wanted V8 Performance but with the better steering surely an N54 transplant would suit the car far better?Fox- said:

You could be right, like I said I read something good that got me thinking about it, I wouldn't own an E39 of any description, they just aren't for me, it's just a hypothetical question. Fox- said:

Alpina have pretty much done this before with the B10 straight 6 engine.
A manual S63 4.4l V8 twin-turbo engine from the new F10 M5 would be an nice addition to the e39 m5, even if Dinan had been doing it years before, I'd say the box and rear diff couldn't be that difficult to shoe-horn in there, much lighter car and would make a serious Nurburgring machine with the right tyres.
