[@AutoalexCars]

Thanks for watching, guys! Let me know if you'd like to see more on this car in a future episode. And go wish Rory Happy Birthday! instagram.com/rory.mckie/

[@copangyang2551]

Definitely more on this car Alex. Rebuild project series!

[@extremeegon1466]

please stop spoiling you`r own videos XD

[@Alan-9819]

Geile Karre!

[@pieterv6984]

sure we do!

[@idris2134]

Hell yeah we do . But an alfa romeo 33 wold be better 😁

[@mgcharoudin]

Was hoping for a Lotus Omega. But this will do!

[@AutoalexCars]

oooof imagine!

[@4581-z8w]

Haha, was expecting it to be a Carlton too🤣

[@Roy.Visser]

Definitly the car I thought of when reading the title.

[@lbnewell23]

Was thinking about a lotus Carlton when i saw the thumbnail. Which I’ve found out is the same thing 😂

[@TommyCullen-VacuumConnisour]

its not first start in 4 years its first start ever

[@Lburt07]

Alex you REALLY need to go snooping in garages. Then you would find and save amazing cars from the Sultan of Brunei treatment! Can we get a car collection tour aswell?? Keep up the content

[@AutoalexCars]

you got it!

[@russhopkins724]

Enjoy the content with Taylor…make sure you boys team up more often please Alex

[@Mgn-1]

It's nice to see Taylor again, this man brings a freshness vibe to the vids, I want to see that M5 on later episodes for sure.

[@IceMan-il7dx]

I want to see that green E39 in my garage....here downunder where they're so few & far between 💕

[@tomguerin4584]

I used to see this car abandoned on the previous owners driveway and sent multiple offers to buy it. I'm glad to see its being restored to its former glory! Beautiful car, especially in oxford green!

[@LocoRocoNL]

for real, these are the old school car throttle days, this is good content!!

[@martycrush6412]

Imagine how many gems are in garages just like this 🤔🤔. Every council estate in Britain has a few sets of garages.

[@armand4624]

As a South African I have have no idea what the "council" is and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

[@wombat581]

@@armand4624 Council estate is and area that was initially built as government subsidised housing

[@Kylirr]

@@armand4624 Why would you be afraid to ask something like that? Councils are a form of local government. A quick Google search will be able to provide you with a more comprehensive answer than you'll ever find in a KZbin comment.

[@armand4624]

@@Kylirr I'm guessing you've never seen the meme of "at this point I'm too afraid to ask". Parks and rec?

[@MarkoftheMouse]

I found a restored a 3000GT which had been sitting in a garage for 8 years. First year it’s been properly on the road this year. Its the auto version but still, for £480……

[@achievementbird2641]

Taylor fits in these vids so well, hope to see him on the channel more

[@test_dude]

''the water just rolls off!'' Amazing! That is some high quality coating!

[@niphomathibela7332]

The dynamic between the two of you is great.

[@jamesspires3531]

Yep Taylor needs to be a regular on the channel, good videos, funny comments but also good advice on cars and know how in these videos

[@stevenhanley4067]

The thing that impresses me the most is that car fitting in that garage, I struggled to fit my 106 gti and my motorbike in mine. That M5 will be a cracker once its sorted.👌

[@goracks69]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RORY!!! Much love to you, AutoAlex, and CarThrottle from your friends up in Canada!!!

[@neilbradford4958]

The duo we didn't know we needed

[@mattsbeamer]

What a great video!! When the garage door opened, I thought it was my Dads old M5 for a second, but his was an LCI version. Back in 2002/3 my father had an individual, AC Schnitzer, version. It was finished in the rare, Oxford green pearlescent green II, and had almost white/ light cream leather colour. It had the ACS type 3 split rims, and the ACS kit. I think the original owner paid about £90,000. I would like to know where the car is now, but the plate that was on the car at the time was a private plate (550 BMW). All I can remember is, it's an X reg. Anyway, thanks for a great video, and happy birthday Rory.

[@samcourt6228]

I still can’t believe that cars like this get locked away, not used and forgotten about for so long. Looks like a cracking find, love the colour too. The E39 is peak M5 for me.

[@neilg3364]

They were 6-7k cars 10 years ago

[@CloudyAidan]

We need more Taylor, he is absolutely amazing, so bubbly, funny, positive!

[@markhaines9553]

“Ooohhh, that’s Castrol” 😂

[@grahamrobertson8254]

Hope to see more of Taylor. He’s a great addition

[@triggerking135]

Awesome on-screen banter with Taylor, nice work lads.

[@storke1044]

I think the e39 is one of the most beautiful BMW´s ever made.

[@thatdixierasta]

I need more friends like his in my life, no one ever calls me to sell an abandoned E39 M5

[@spantney]

More Taylor content. He's a legend!

[@Devastator0]

Such a great fun video! Really love you together with Taylor and Rory, you boys have such a good dynamic, just like you do with Jack & Ethan over at CT. I can’t wait to see this car transformed. Keep up the great work Alex!!!

[@jpwilliams5264]

Its nice to have the guy that says “its fine” and the noise clears right up!

[@lukehann303]

My grandparents have one with a body kit and a V8 sounds exactly like this. One of the greatest sounds you can hear in your life!

[@dzlnitro]

M5 owners everywhere understand that an S62 that sits without it being run in a while and hearing the lifter tick upon start up...makes you think the motor will blow up hahaha. Let it warm up properly, go out for a drive, and romp the hell out of it, and it will go away :D

[@shanehawkins5361]

Seriously liking the videos with Taylor! You guys really compliment each other and have a great rapport!

[@bimmer.joo34]

I love bmws and I love these episodes so far ❤️💯

[@jme4036]

I’d love to see Alex, Gareth and Taylor be the new stars of Top Gear. Maybe someday lads…

[@adammaverickcurtis]

Loving the Taylor content! He is superb, and definitely needs to be a frequent guest on the channel!

[@GreenTheScreen123]

He really needs to be a part of the auto Alex team he's a great guy and totally hilarious please give him a job it would only be a win

[@drink4711]

very satisfying to watch you treat those cracks and crevices

[@henryatkinson1479]

You should not start an engine that has been sitting for any extended amount of time, E39 M5 or not, without some serious checking-over. You risk all sorts of damage, namely anything that could result from oil starvation or seized bearings.

[@ianmontgomery7534]

I would at least take out the plugs, check the condition of any serpentine belts etc and put a squirt of diesel in each cylinder and then turn it over by hand.

[@tomasdvorak8961]

You are right!

[@oreful524]

most likely would’ve done off camera

[@exorcist1998]

Yes i would definitely pull the plugs and lube the bores before turning it over by hand. Fuel is probably dead too.

[@henryatkinson1479]

@@exorcist1998 Exactly. And if you had leaky injectors you risk hydrolocking the engine.

[@JelloTypeR]

I love always fancied an E39 M5. I’ve been close a couple of times but never quite ‘eld out me ‘and. It’s an itch that needs a scratch.

[@CJ-rh1xv]

The best car channel on KZbin. Especially better than channels that rhyme with Tar Bottle.

[@DashCamSerbia]

Tatti toddler?

[@daccy86]

Do you still have this m5? Is there an update video?

[@sir_ma-at_mons]

Alex mentioned on the Podcast that later they found out that the Timing Chain guides were failing on it, then when Taylor Tried to register it they found out that there was an issue with the VIN so the car was seized by the authorities. Last they heard the car was sold for scap.

[@apocalypticweasel9078]

Nice i had the executive model the non M series one of those had the m tech gear box the usual BMW refinements when i sold it there was 350,000 miles on the clock and still ran like a dream never let me down sounded awesome started first time every time a dream to drive.

[@TheManmoths]

Lovely! A rare beast these days! I’m doing a similar restoration on my RS4 Avant, slowly getting there!

[@tim95e38]

A green m5? I'm in the States but as a BMW guy that build is the rarest of rare! What a great find!

[@Camy256]

Happy Birthday Rory! Have a good one man

[@DerKaktusAvant]

I doubt it needs an alternator. It’s probably the battery that is knackered after sitting for 4 years. Charge up the battery fully, and then do a load test on it.

[@dillanmistry]

E39 M5?!? BEST CAR EVER MADE

[@BCAB-Agri]

Glad Taylors back, he needs to be a permanent channel host, so down to earth

[@retrostu1]

One of my fav cars the E39 M5, wanted one since my dad had the 525i version in that green. Loved that 525i so obviously the M5 version was the grail car for me… maybe one day, but probably not 🤣

[@callummccubbing4506]

More Taylor please, loving these videos Alex!

[@WhaattUpp]

Yes Taylor back in the vids. More of that please.

[@Aj1981Mr]

Nice little video, I like the people the people involved and the preservation of a good old barge.

Hey mate loving the frequent uploads can't get enough of your content, Altough the upload schedule isnt great for people like me down under 😂

[@vestrevekk]

As i was thinking the channel could not get any better he gets a E39 M5 on here and TOWS it with an E53 love it

[@skylined5534]

These may be knocking on a little now but still a fantasy car of mine! The Clive Owen BMW advertisement spot for this car some years back was awesome!

Happy birthday Rory ! 🎂

I’ve watched all of M539 Restorations videos. Pretty much an expert on these cars now.

[@thenotfunny518]

Hey alex I recently bought a 98 mx5 and it had some cheap chrome wheels on it that have become corroded and I was wondering how I would be able to restore them cheaply or if I should just buy new wheels.

[@mc4130]

Omg, I need an Oxford green M5! That’s beautiful. Happy Birthday Rory!

[@kalvin928]

Lovely car... Imo the last of the better M5.... Lovely colour too... Would be tempted to get rid of my e63 to get one

My 1996 Hyundai excel started for the first time in 7 years and ran off of the original fuel in the tank with like a litre of fresh stuff😂 brakes and clutch are perfect👌

[@thedarkknight1971]

E39 saloon... One of my FIRM top 5 'Dream Garage' cars of all time. And no... Not necessarily just the M5 variant either. In my view, E39 and the latest M5 CS are the best looking 5s BMW made (E39 only just pipping the CS)... 🤔☺️😎🇬🇧

[@ChrisHudsonVlogs]

You two are a hillarious team, more garage finds!

[@TheSweets122]

So refreshing seeing a good example M5 still kicking about and making a return to the road! Very sad knowing I got rid of my 1 of 19 Estoril Blue last year :(

Another BMW? Somewhere out there, Ethan is shaking his head in disapproval.
