TIL: The Aston Martin DB5 in the new Bond film "No Time to Die" is actually an E46 M3

Well, kinda.

I'm not sure if they're all E46 M3 with a custom carbon DB5 body thrown onto it or just have a S54 swapped into there. Either way, pretty neat connection! Had no idea. If you can find some BTS footage of stunts you can really hear the S54 scream.

Unmistakable S54 sound… makes me think exhaust changes are useless… I guess that’s why I haven’t pulled the trigger in anything yet… some cars I think are best left stock… mind you, I bought this one because it WASN’T such a car… but over the years I’ve been loathe to change it much, preferring to go “new OEM” with parts.

maw

PS… Slightly longer video here… https://youtu.be/U8XHb0Sqg_I … around the 10’ mark they start dropping hints… best argument for a restomod I’ve seen in a while.

That thing must be a blast to drive.

Also probably a 420g, given the e46 M3 shift knob.

Fun hearing the S54 scream! Good share

M3 sounds worst in stock trim.
