The BMW E46 takes on a completely different character when powered by the naturally aspirated 5.0-litre S85 V10 from the legendary BMW M5 E60. Built as a dedicated drift machine, this unusual combination brings the high-revving soundtrack of BMW’s iconic V10 to the world of sideways action. Italian driver Lorenzo Fattori puts the freshly built machine through its paces at Modena Circuit, sending tyres up in smoke while showcasing the engine’s unmistakable sound.

With onboard footage capturing the action from behind the wheel, this V10-powered E46 delivers a raw mix of aggressive drifting, screaming revs and classic BMW motorsport attitude. The S85 engine is best known for its place in the E60 M5, but seeing it installed in a drift-focused E46 creates a very different experience. For fans of high-revving engines and rear-wheel-drive BMW builds, this is a soundtrack worth turning up.Follow us also on Facebook!
