You are joking, right?

Sell the parts on here or ebay and buy an M5. You will end up with a much better product and a heavier wallet.

An engine and tranny does not an M5 make.

That is a MASSIVE undertaking, one that will probably wind up costing you more in labor then it would be to just buy an M5, sell the 525i and the engine/transmission. Look for a nice MY2000 and sell the rest of it. You will also have the full M5 suspension, drivetrain, brakes, etc - and most importantly the genuine deal.

Sell your car and buy an M5.

I believe DA is doing a 540 to M5 conversion right now (might be done?)... I cant imagine its worth doing vs buying an M5, unless there is some very serious sentimental value...

To the original poster:

It can be done, of course- anything can be done with enough money.

As many have said, to do it right will will cost much more than buying an M5. If you find a shop to do it cheaply.... well, you'll be kidding yourself. Or you'll be driving a POS.

Understand that these comments are not based on snobbery- they are based on folks know what is involved!

Good Luck

Does anyone know a shop that can convert my M5 into a reliable car?

sell the stuff and buy an M5. theres an S62 on ebay right now for $9600. you'd have to go through a lot of trouble just to get the exhaust/mufflers installed, not worth it.
