Here we are half a century later and today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe 5-series brings them back - by way of GM. That’s pretty crazy, but will its price push all your right buttons? ---

I’ve never seen so many people hung up on a shift nob in my life, its hilarious. I love how everyone and their brother can build the car themselves for half the price. If you’re so good a building budget LS swaps go build one your selves. Better yet if its so easy and cheap they should open up their own shop and make money doing it! Its easy to discount someones time, fabrication and engine building skills when you’re hiding behind a keyboard haha. ---

I mean everyone looks at a 5.3/6.0 and goes WOW its $500-1000 However by the time you do a none truck intake manifold, wiring harness, accessories, headers, cam kit, fuel system, etc it adds up really quick. ---

> [@LZ](#): > > My guess is another 100-150rwhp people wouldn’t bitch lol I agree. I think a big hurdle in people’s minds is that an m5 with oem wheels and a 400hp 5L v8 can be had for $5k less. Gotta make em want this more ---

^Maybe a 100k+ mile M5. The cool thing about this is you’re getting a car with an almost new drivetrain and a chassis that’s been gone through to fix all its high mileage worn out parts. That’s not something you’ll find on some run down 100k+ mile $12k M5. ---
