BMW M5 E60 // How we ERASE 90k miles & 17 Years by Restoration Detailing

The legendary BMW E60 M5 with its thunderous naturally-aspirated V10 rolled in to our shop to be restored back to former glory - and we brought out all the stops. We had a lot of factory orange peel to remove on this restoration detailing, so color sanding is where we spent the majority of our time on this build.
This project was completed over several months - consisting of a full dry ice cleaning of the undercarriage and wheel wells, a wash, painted calipers, color sanding and paint correction, ceramic coating, parts replacement, headlight restoration, and finished with an interior detailing that any clean freak would be proud of
This BMW M5 came for what we've coined the Restoration Detailing - when it's more than a detail, but not quite a total restoration. What do you think of this M5 after it had the I AM Detailing treatment?

I know these are expensive but you added at least triple what it cost in resale value. Good job as always.

Thank you! 🤌🫡

I'm asking to get an idea of the prices. How much are they?

[@purplemenace8819]

@@levo3456 About £20k on average in the UK for a M5 E60 V10

Imagine being the mechanic that services this when it gets up on his lift🥲🥲🥲🥲. The sheer happiness would have me crying in the shop. 😊

[@marcusott2973]

I had my 993 C4 250K km, dry ice cleaned before selling it. (Incidentally how I found this channel) The buyer had a pre sale inspection done at a Porsche specialist, after putting it on the ramps the inspector took off his gloves. 😉

[@danpritchett5617]

True. And you just made me laugh!!!!

[@pmiles7093]

Sad part is that this bmw is bound to be in a mechanic shop probably for rod knock smh

[@fletcherhicks9667]

@@pmiles7093 with how this is being taken care of currently I don’t think that will be an issue. Plenty of S85s that just lack the proper care taker. I’ve got a buddy with one at 190k with new rod bearings. Runs like a top!

[@spencermaiers8322]

Pro tip! E60s like to clog the e-box (electronics box) drain with gunk. Worst case it can waterlog the engine computer! Right fender liner, rear lower section, remove small panel, peel back uppee panel a little, look up for J shaped rubber drain piece, remove and clean, to keep original, zip tie "flap of drain J rubber piece" to wiring in that area! Functional detail tip there! I'm sure you could just remove that J rubber too. Looking good that M5. The smg is not such a bad system either! I'm exhausted just watching, gonna go for a nap 😅

[@nickadkins7765]

Not really. It's one of the greatest cars you SHOULDN'T own. If you get the 6 speed manual it's a little better/forgiving. But these cars are plagued with soooo many problems and finicky bs. The SMG trans in these cars are hot garbage. My dad bought one from Carmax and the trans took a shit in 2 days 😂....luckily he was able to get his money back. BMW had the chance to make these cars absolutely elite, but they fucked it up. The E39 M5 is much better, and arguably the pinnacle of a proper sport saloon.

[@marcoberetta1984]

Che bellezza... Un, piacere per gli occhi!

[@bk2_ripper]

I’ve watched detailing videos for like 15 years and I also do detailing/paint corrections. I’ve never seen a paint correction as good as this one! Amazing work

[@LionHeart567]

completely useless if you don't restore the engine. It's just a cosmetic marketing stuff .

[@_NCO]

Channel really does have the right and wrong name at the same time... Should be called I AM GOD. Your work is beyond something that can be valued in money, When you work like this (with heart, soul and passion) to get these results and even pay attention to details that no one will ever even see it means that you work beyond the highest known standard in detailing, something that should not be done to any and every car, but only to chosen examples that are part of the pinnacle of automotive history, I salute your work and you can count on me to be subscribed to follow your work, you are not a detailer, you are an artist... a restorer. just wow! Greetings from Germany and thank you again to bringing this german master piece to perfection

[@PandaPanda-ht9rs]

БМВ М5 легенда. Парни вы лучшие. 🤘🔥🔥🔥

[@seashackf1]

That’s a ton of work and it looks amazing. 👍The sanding and orange peel removal make a huge difference, but seems like it would remove a lot of clear coat. It wasn’t shown, do you measure paint depth before doing it to see if there is enough clear coat left? If so, do you know how much gets removed from the process?

[@zhaoyangxie]

Yeah, I was going to say, wouldn't sanding it make the clear coat super thin? I would PPF the whole car after sanding, else, I'd rather have orange peel than thin clear coat that limits the number of paint corrections in the future

[@filanp490]

[@johnkaimins9998]

Great attention to detail, however buffing the headlights is only a temporary solution. Unless you coat them with 3 good coats of 2k clearcoat, they will, unfortunately become dull after a few months.

[@bikerboy4944]

You're correct, when I detail anything and flat and polish the headlights I always clear coat them, otherwise all that work has been in vain.

[@KallouWhatElse]

It's just eye catching ! If the mechanical part is not in good condition: whether the bodywork is beautiful or not, it will not change the fact that it is a wreck

[@IAMDetailing]

Car is in absolute primo mechanical condition - PO took amazing care of the car. M5s from this era came with a lot of orange peel from the factory - so that was where the majority of this work lied

[@LionHeart567]

Kallou YOU UNDERSTAND. It's completely useless if you don't restore the engine and mechanical. It's just a cosmetic marketing stuff to hide the car age.

I get the keeping it original, but surely a bonnet and bumper spray to get rid of stone chips if you’ve gone to all the trouble of wet sanding and dry icing everywhere Superb bicep btw 👌🏻

[@BS-561]

Does dry ice cleaning work on hard baked on brake dust on rims?

[@mattrox1221]

Was surprised to see all those rock chips still in the paint when the coating was applied! You guys don’t do anything for that?
