I'm glad you liked the videos!

Actually, it wasn't that dangerous and I'm actually a very humble driver, so there won't be any more videos like this.

Next videos will be done in Germany on autobahn, before and after supercharger installation, I hope.

@SlickGT1 the manual tranny conversion is to pricey, especially, if it will be done in some workshop - that's the biggest problem, so even I'd offer some kits for like 1,5k$, you'll also need alot of other parts (gearbox, clutch, complete clutch hydraulics, flywheel) and the workshop labour costs would be immense (especially in USA). If you want a 6-speed manual N62 powered E53 you'd better buy 3.0 6-speed manual facelift diesel and swap the engine of your choice - this way will need a bell housing fabrication/adaptation, but it's easier and cheaper, than manual tranny swap into 4.8. In any case - for the total cost you could get a 6.1l SRT-8 Jeep and supercharge it to get like 500 AWHP. I'll keep the X5 forever, so I'm not interested in any other car incl. the current X5 M. I'll rather build another E53 (I hope in 2013) which will be even more interesting, than the current one and will keep both of them.

@Naz24 yes, the gearbox is Getrag S6S 420G, which was taken from a M5 E39. You'll find more details in my older posts, if you like.

@DTMdan I still have my sommer tires on stock 87 style, the wheels on the videos have winter tires - 295/40/20 all around on 10x20 rims (Hamann Anniversary II), so soon you'll see the truck on stock wheels again
