The M5 is like marrying a beautiful woman whose last 2 husbands died mysterious deaths. Could be nothing.... could be the worst decision you ever make. Exciting though.

[@JetBlackThreat]

damn i like that

[@IcarisM3]

LOL as an owner of one I can agree with this statement lol

[@thesource3038]

😂😂😂😂😂😂☝🏻☝🏻

[@christianpadilla2928]

Own a M6 2008 for 4 years, very reliable. Changed rod bearings paid 1500 USD at ess and regular oil changes etc and no issues at all. My C6 corvette was much more of a headache by all means and refinment on the BMW is on another level. Its simple to visualize why its a good buy, you pay 25k for one low mileage, drop 5 k on preventive maintenance total 30k, the cost of a brand new civic. That is bang for the buck, to many keyboard bullshiters. I also own a e92 m3 currently which is also criticized a lot and its a great car.

[@christianpadilla2928]

And owned an e46 m3 in the past, still miss it.

[@Pkpkpk78]

I took a "risk" 4 years ago. No major issues , mostly maintenance stuff. 40k special miles later all I can say about reliability is that the haters that never owned one will always be "experts"....

Unless you've been involved with one of these things, it is impossible to know just how special they are. Only the most discerning of enthusiasts will understand why this particular car is such a phenomenon. Living with the E60 M5 is as much a relationship as it is ownership. And the older she gets, the better looking she will become.

What did BMW think when they sold the manual variant in the only country that less then 5% of the population even saw a manual in their life.

[@oONoChanc3Oo]

So people who can drive manual has to suffer and not have the option ? Lol

[@AkioWasRight]

5% of the US population if still over 16,000,000 people. That's more people than cars sold by BMW globally in 6 years. But really, it's not about the number of people who can drive, it's about number of people who actually buy the product. BMW sells big numbers of of "M" cars in the US, and, despite the relatively small percentage of the population who actually buys manuals, they have relatively high number manual buyer in this market. Of course they would offer the manual to us.

[@MidwestDIY]

Most people who I know, know how to drive manual even though they drive auto and don’t own manual. I don’t have manual but I have experience with many manual cars and motocycles, sometimes judging book by its cover doesn’t work

I have a 2010 M5 with the SMG and I love it. Yes, the ,mileage is laughable, but that v10 is just glorious when you run it through the gears. I plan on keeping mine indefinitely. Get the Blackstone oil analysis to monitor the engine internals, and switch to Liqui-moly oil. It seems to make the engine a tad smoother and the oil temps are a bit more controlled in mine. Again, great choice, nice example of an M5, and I hope you enjoy it for many years.

I will drive it until it don't drive no more. Little things have broken and I fix 'em myself and keep up with oil changes etc. myself, people just complain about dealer prices.

The E60 M5 may have a bad rep, but it's not alone. E90s were a mess. My 2008 335i had bad injectors, high pressure fuel pump, and water pump, all fail at under 36K. The injectors were notoriously bad for 2007 - 2009 I believe. My 2011 faired much better, all the way to 177K miles with a radiator and fuel pump my only significant repairs. My current 2018 340i M Sport has no issues thus far and I put a lot miles on my car. About 2500 miles per month.

After a brief stint with an 08, I scurried back to the safety of an E39 M5. Appreciate the enthusiasm for the car in this video, and to own one I’d definitely follow the path of this owner in finding one that has proven provenance. You can still find them relatively cheaply, however cost of ownership was too much for me. Tires, fuel, anything you can think of is expensive here. Deep pockets is a must or the car will head into rapid decline. That plus the fact you can’t really use the power on American roads makes this car a curiosity at best. SMG is not fun after a while either, it becomes constantly annoying as you struggle to try to live with it. I’ve had 3 SMG’s. Good luck to E60 owner wallets!

Send it to Troy Jeup if reliability ever becomes in an issue

[@michaelhiggins6462]

Agreed! My 2006 smg saloon is the best vehicle I have ever owned,indeed THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE,it’s a work of powerful artistic genius! Thanks! M5 SMG,2006.

[@topdeadcenter007]

Excellent video and well balanced representation. I have a 2006 E60 M5 and it is a pure driving experience. Truly unique.

[@Luvaido]

I want one... I'm going to get myself one.. You inspire me to get one.. SMG... We don't have manuals in South Africa

[@ECPP]

I hear you my dude. I have been preaching this for some time. Small turbo engines, hybrids.....blah,blah,blah. I agree with you that these will be missed once they are gone. Thats why I have chosen to keep one of these around in my garage. Scotty who? LOL

[@Sal12538]

Haven't seen your videos in months. This popped up on my Google feed. Glad to be back! I guess it showed up cus I love the E60 generation of the 5 series

[@ChrisInvests]

Definitely a nice car, Mike. I just hope you don't spend more in repairs than the car cost to buy 🚗😂

If you're a poor kid don't buy it, if you know what BMW is go for it, this car is great but not for someone who buys all the parts on ebay not for dreamers with empty pockets, this car is for people who can take this baby to a real doctor a BMW clinic I'm talking about someone who can afford original parts, if you want to buy one and carfax is showing first four years of servicing by the BMW and another eight years is showing random shops than you're looking at the junk, if you're going to start fixing it with ebay parts you're going to make it a junk out of it. If you're a dreamer with empty pockets buy a Ford or Toyota and don't destroy these beautiful cars sweetheart, please stop crying like a little girl how many problems those cars have because it's simple it's too expensive for you to own it.

Own a M6 2008 for 4 years, very reliable. Changed rod bearings paid 1500 USD at ess and regular oil changes etc and no issues at all. My C6 corvette was much more of a headache by all means and refinment on the BMW is on another level. Its simple to visualize why its a good buy, you pay 25k for one low mileage, drop 5 k on preventive maintenance total 30k, the cost of a brand new civic. That is bang for the buck, to many keyboard bullshiters. I also own a e92 m3 currently which is also criticized a lot and its a great car.

[@DGCExotics]

Mr. Clean I want to buy one but the problem is gas

[@gnist1974]

It could be fun to set your Bmw m5 v10 against an Audi RS6 v10 to see the difference between these cars, engine sound, acceleration, quality, driving pleasure. It's an exciting and really good youtube channel you have sir.

[@SGM805]

Nice car but I prefer the carbon roof M5 with the lighter body, makes a big difference to handing etc but each too there own imho

[@iPhoneAppReviewer]

If you’re talking about the F90 it weighs 280lbs more than the E60.

[@taniketwaghia5423]

Best video. I like POV driving review bring it more often please

[@brandonsmith_43]

This is my all time dream car. I love it but so many peoples reviews have changed my thoughts about it. But after watching this. The fire inside me is back about the E60 M5

[@ufopuum1]

Get one with full maintenance history, DONT GET THE SMG version and prepare your wallet :)

[@jesuschrist2287]

smg is money pit, who reviews this e60 most of them review with smg gearbox as we know smg is shit, with manual transmission car is far more reliable

[@bradleyadams5167]

@@jesuschrist2287 wrong

[@erniearambula3525]

The style and lines of the E60 are nice but what I can't get over are the panel gaps especially where the rear bumper meets the body other than that a great car since the E39 M5.

[@oneman7638]

Your 6 speed will top out at 208 mph. tested my 08 one that has the limiter removed. The gearing is very well thought out in the 6 speed manual.

This car is why this channel will hit 1million subs. Well done. You don’t need a Ferrari to make content.

[@BenX74]

The E60 ist one of the best looking cars ever made. If you look at a Mercedes or Audi from that time, they look horrendously outdated, but an E60 looks fresh and modern today and will do so another 20 years from now.

10:25 The gearing is indeed different, because it has a gear less. But as far as I know the 550i is a 4.8L engine and the M5 has a 5.0L. The thing, as far as I know, is that the amount of cylinders has no influence in the gearing and RPM, but displacement does. 200cc less shouldn't make that much of a difference I suppose. The M5 also has more torque and HP so it should handle other gearing easy.

[@syvilized7112]

That’s a Lexus rc f it’s as fast or even maybe faster then the e60 m5

If you wanna get gas,fill up the fuel tank first,then you can go to the gas station and get gas. #V10

[@lililiil244]

I feel like that is the most beautiful car ever made. The best sports sedan that was ever produced, because of its naturally aspirated v10. I love it, but the E61 M5 was even cooler because of its rarity❤️

[@matthewmajestic1013]

As unique as the E60 M5 is, my personal favorite BMW is the E46 M3, I love the timeless design, inside and out, but what I really love about it, is the 3.2liter N/A In-line 6 motor, the rich,raw, and metallic sound of that engine is just😍🥵
