A lot of miles on that bad boy. Would love a touring version of one of these

So I had been checking out some E60 550 videos out recently since im interested in getting one (a manual one) and your video just popped up as a suggestion. The ontario plates got me really interested since I am here as well lol. So how was this car for you? Also if you dont mind sharing, how much did it sell for and man, almost 300k on these are crazy especially with the issues I've read about them online (Valve seals leaking, etc..)

[@PierrosGarage]

Hey buddy, it was a decent car over the years. But being higher km the main issues I had dealt with are throttle body malfunction (even after replacing one with new the same issue persisted, I never figured it out, may have been an issue with the TB harness), one of the modules which controls voltage had a loose solder on the board and it was triggering transmission codes so I just ended up resoldering the loose connection on the board and it was fixed, crank shaft sensor failed, coolant expansion tank failed, upper rad hose failed, coil packs failed and of course leaking valve stem seals. The valve stem seals is guaranteed to fail. I had the car posted for 5k back then and I just ended up parting the car out and made more than double what I had listed the vehicle for, which was a pleasant surprise. If you do choose to pursue an e60 550i, I'd would be ideal to have paper work or documentation that proves valve stem seal replacement. Or something you could address, although it's a lengthy and tedious job. Best of luck!

@@PierrosGarage Thanks for the info, yes the other things you mentioned are also on the list of things to fail but yea, that valve stem seal replacements are pretty tedious. So I'm assuming it was done on yours by the time you bought it? Did you do most of the maintenance yourself? If I do end up getting one, it most likely would be don't by a shop and I know most aren't cheap nowadays. I've found an 08 with 155k kms and am debating pulling the trigger (once I verify the maintenance on it). He's asking $15k (which is why I'm mostly interested in it) and the fact its a manual just makes it even more rare and then you have the LCI model which was 08-10.

Keep up the awesome. job.I am a fan!!!

[@FredrikEastling]

Not to be "that guy", but the m-package is not M5 bumpers/side skirts. Completely different on the m-sport variants on the "regular" (not M5) 5 series. The steering wheel is not an m-sport wheel. It's a "regular" sport wheel with an m badge glued on it. The door jamb trim is also "regular" BMW, and not m-sport. It's also not "fully loaded". It's a sick car, don't get me wrong, but details matter.

[@IqbalHussainParis]

your video very nice you're still a surprise thank you

[@markpolakovich6697]

Have you had any major problems with it? I have had my share of 5 series, none 8 cylinder though

[@Malik-ry4sq]

Mark Polakovich I have one. It goes through seals and gaskets like theirs no tomorrow. Mine has a gas problem or some sort. Maybe a picked hose or something I have to check it out.

[@aatess8501]

Toooo clean man🧼

[@Karrma1111]

are those the real miles?

[@soulgamez8663]

Cool

[@lotar379]

thats not m5 bumper lol, thats just m sport

[@PierrosGarage]

That's right, it's an m-sport bumper. "Just" an M5 bumper is a little wider and typically no fog lights lol. However, they do look similar.
