BMW E39 M5 - Autobahn High-Speed Driving & Service

[@zabotec]

I Also own an 2001 blue e39 M5 that’s been sittning in my garage since 2012 when my first child was born and the priorities changed. Your videos really inspire me to service it and start using it again. Love the model and thats why I have kept it all these years.

I have a 2003 540iAT. 139K, bought from the second owner (first owner was BMW itself!). Silver outside, blakc inside. 7 series comfort seats, Factory Nav (no DSP sound system sadly), moonroof, heated seats. I stopped driving it the moment I learned of the timing chain guide failure.

I can. The repair from a specialist is easily $3-4K. The car's value, even in its unsalted, rust free condition I don't think is that... I intend to try to do the job as I've done small block Ford and 4.6 2 valve Ford timing jobs before. I already have the parts.

Since it is a BMW and you likely know how they like to nickel and dime people to death, make sure the tools aren't more expensive than the shop's price lol. Good luck though braddah.

[@HoundsHell]

yeah its not that great there's always an AMG or Ford blocking the left lane and you're only allowed to overtake on the left lane otherwise you get a fine when the Police catches you. most of the time you come flying down the left lane with 210km/h to 250km/h or even more and then you have to slow down back to 100km/h to 130km/h if you're lucky than you speed up again and the circle continues.

Impeccable video.......Those M runs were incredible astonishing work!

[@pilotistbreit]

This is only the 3rd video I am watching from you and I really feel the need to comment again. You really raise the bar on all these channels out there. In every little detail you show how things should be done. If its how to open bolts, how to torque them, (especially with suspension work and believe me, I saw "professional" workshops torquing them on the lift) even holding the steering wheel in a controlled but still relaxed manner when high speed driving. Not like all this show off dudes with their highspeedautobahnposerchannels and then seeing them with white knuckles cramping on the steering wheel. This is really a channel where people can learn something. Highly appreciated!

[@Busandtrainluvr2k]

Did you know it is ILLEGAL to RUN OUT OF FUEL on the autobahn because it’s viewed as a preventable occurrence. It happened to James May in an episode of Top Gear and ended up getting "shot" as a result. You’d probably only get a fine
