I'm a certified BMW technician and LS motors are way more reliable.

$10 to $15k for an LS swap??????? God forbid someone actually makes a $1,000 / $100,000 BMW 7 Series less than 8 years old reliable, fun to drive, easy to maintain, buy parts for and actually enjoy. I don't know how many BMW's less than 10 years old on craigslist now for $2000 not running. LS swaps are making BMW's great again.

So much misinformation in this video. We get it you either don't like LS engines or don't like seeing them in BMWs either way putting out bad information is lame. Most people that do LS swaps nowadays don't even use the LS1 but some sort of LS variant i.e. the 5.3 ,6.0 or the 6.2 LS3. I agree taking out a stock M5 motor if still running and healthy isn't the cheapest solution but if its blown why not. Whats the cost on a BMW motor these days? I can bet its not 250-500 like an LS you can pull from your local pick and pull. There is a reason a-lot of drag,drift, and road course cars have switched to the LS. RELIABILITY and cheaper power.

If there’s $1k running, driving, LS swapped BMWs in this dude’s town I’m on my way. It’d save me from having to sneak a BMW motor in the dumpster at work.

I have 7k total into my 5.3 vortec (ls) swapped bmw e46 including the car, coilovers, swap kit, engine, 700hp fuel system, and angle kit. It has been a great improvement over the factory engine and was relatively inexpensive in the whole scheme of things. Not sure why you would not recommend, I highly recommend it!

😂😂😂 3k for my ls swap e36 including the car. You are throwing out incorrect claims about the ls and transmissions. Sloppy mechanics has proven the power and strenth of the engines. It’s all in the tune and having proper oiling.

Oh you are not biased at all. Rod bearings at a 100K miles on an e39 engine and you shrug it off as some scheduled maintenance. Not built cheap at all lol. What about the V10 M5's. Vehicle started at nearly $100K. Now no one wants to touch them. That engine is a disaster waiting to happen. Despite the fact that it is probably one of the nicest sounding sedan engines one could wish for.

Single cam pushrod vs 4 cams dohc the ls is cheaper and easier to maintain can’t argue that. Parts availability and simplicity is what most ls guys are going for when they swap. BMW makes good engines as far as the straight 6s go (except I absolutely hate the e46 m3 exhaust note my yz250 sounds better) but v8 for v8 the ls is the way to go. But if I was the type of guy to own a 645i I wouldn’t ruin its value that’s just stupid, e30 e36 e46 sure. Maybe not the e30 😂

Got probably $2500 in my LS 6.0 swap. Got the engine for free after a successful part out of a yukon Denali.

😂😂 "20k to do a ls swap".. I did a 6.0 into my s10 for 3k and it makes 550hp st the crank and I've been Abusing it for the past 4 years.. I get it, you don't wanna put an American engine into your German car but you don't have to try and bash the LS. Everyone knows it's the cheapest way to make big horse power.. And the comment about bmws with LS's that they can't even sell for a $1000 is just ridiculous.. show me where and I will buy all of them up
How Cheap can you really LS swap a BMW??
