Muffler Delete Exhaust Battle – E39 BMW M5 vs E92 BMW M3 – Video

Probably one of the most praised such engines in the world is the E92 BMW S65 unit that used to be the beating heart of the previous BMW M3 models. Developed from the BMW S85 5-liter V10 engine from the BMW E60 M5, this peach is a BMW 4-liter V8 making 420 Horsepower and (295 lb-ft) of torque.

This video is not to debate the specific outputs though but rather to pit this engineering beauty (that was lighter than its predecessor, a BMW 3.2-liter inline 6-cylinder engine) against one of its brothers.

Under the bonnet of the BMW E39 M5, a 4.9-liter V8 used to be fitted when the car was in production. Even though its specific output was not on par with the BMW S65’s, the BMW S62 had a different sound to it, one that is forever stamped on the back of the brain of fans around the world.
