i’m planning on buying an M5 with the same age, any serious problems?
@BeamingForLife-zw5hz6 сағат бұрын
Great question so far I’ve had to do zero repairs out of pocket. Of course I had one coolant tank recall, which was completely free and they replaced four injectors on that side. A couple months later I got a letter in the mail from Bmw stating that they’re extending the injector warranty on them for 15 years or 150,000 miles. Besides that it’s all been scheduled maintenance. Within the next week, I should be releasing the one year review which will have operating costs, recalls and all the maintenance I’ve had done to mine. The best thing you can do is find a low mileage one that was well taken care of with records. I would personally stay away from one that’s been modified.(tune down pipes anything like that cosmetic is no issue). In my opinion, so far it’s been a great platform. If you take care of it, it will take care of you.. I’ve recently researched some 2018 with 180,000 miles.

I have a 2019 with 23,000 km. Just had my coolant expansion tank break, made a video about it on my channel. Really disappointed it happened so quickly, and I fear the replacement tank is also leaking!

It’s honestly a tough situation…… not sure if they warranty the replacement or what. I currently have a warranty on my car when I bought it for three years 36,000 miles and plan on buying a bumper-to-bumper warranty in the next year for four years. You should get a letter from Bmw stating that your injectors are now covered for 15 years/150,000 miles which is kinda nice in that aspect. Stay on top of it there are other solutions such aftermarket tanks that never leak and relocation kits also a tray that goes in there that keeps it from leaking into the injector components and other motor components. Definitely a tough situation. My car is a 2018 and made it to 47,000 miles so it needed to be replaced. They ended up having to replace four injectors as well on that side. Time will tell. I will be publishing my one year review in a couple days technically, January 12 was the one year mark just wrapping up the video.

I just did a 7 month update. Still going strong. I did have one recall, which is a common issue the coolant tank which they replaced the coolant tank and replaced the injectors. I am all caught up to the eighth interval. Solid performer absolutely love this car and would recommend if you spend some money on maintenance that can’t be skipped out on. I changed my oil twice in the 9000 mile recommended window. if you do the Bmw, plan, you only have to pay for one so that’s not a bad deal to look into depending on your dealership if they offer it. Any other questions feel free to hit me up. There is a big influx of 2018 to 2020 cars being sold. Just make sure you get some thing with 49,000 or less so you can change the oil sooner and stay on top of the maintenance.

Thank you for the very detailed review. How do you feel about the Michelin Summer tires in cold weather? I am in NJ and need new tires, I am contemplating getting Michelin All Seasons.
@BeamingForLife-zw5hz6 ай бұрын
So I live in Cincinnati so we do get snow and when they replaced all the tires when I bought the vehicle, they did put the summer tires on so I didn’t have an option at the time. It really didn’t do bad stopping is the main thing that is affected. Just give yourself plenty of room. I try to avoid driving in the winter altogether cause I get laid off and go back to work in the spring because I do seasonal work. I’m sure it snows a lot in your area so be careful if you don’t wanna deal with considered getting a used set of winter tires or something like that.

@BeamingForLife-zw5hz7 ай бұрын
And depends if you’re married and you’re driving record. Cars like this new we’re very expensive so they’re still expensive to repair even though they are a few years old. Mine went up compared to the performance, even though it’s faster, but because of cost of repair. Recommend shopping around.

I don’t mind at all I was eventually going to do a breakdown of everything. So the sticker with all the options was 112k in 2018. It had a couple leases on it, and then it was sold to a Ford dealership.. I guess it sat on it for a while, when I looked at it, they had it for sale for 58K I talked him down another thousand. I did end up buying a warranty for 6K. I was fortunate enough and got a nice chunk for my trade-in. I got 31K for my scat pack that I drove for five years and paid 38,000 for. a mixture of luck and patience to find the exact spec and low mileage. You should be able to find something similar between 56 and 60 just depends on the year and mileage.

I need to talk to a good suspension shop before buying the M5 because I wanna increase the ground clearance of the vehicle 1.5 inches without too many modifications. It's not gonna be that easy, but I do want something special. Originally I really desired a porsche 991.2 4S (elephant racing has those cool suspensions kit lift with bespoken parts for the 991) but they are 100k used whereas the M5 is around 60k. Not a great value for less performance than the M5. I need to find a way for this suspension thing...anyway congrats for the vehicle, it does look nice.

Thanks for your review. I think you made the longest on KZbin 😅 I have the exact same year and specs, but mine is with the Tartufo colored seats. Try the Colourlock steering wheel kit to freshen it up as it wears the most. The leather should be matte. Also, I have PPF'ed the whole car with Xpel Stealth. It looks amazing on the Donington grey color!

Spark plugs every 20k-30k, transfer case service every 30k, injector cleaning every 30k, oil change every 5k, transmission fluid every 50k, coolant expansion tank fix. This is what the m5 needs to get done and it will be reliable. Very high maintenance car ive ever owned

The car recommends 9000 miles I would honestly go much lower 5000 was kind of extreme probably 6 to 7 would still be early without wasting your money. I just don’t see how those engines can run that clean regardless of the technology.
