BMW M5 E60 Restoration Part 3: Changing Interior Color with Dye & Alcantara

Welcome to Part 3 of possibly the largest BMW M5 E60 restoration that's ever been done. In our final installment, we begin work on changing the color of the interior using dye - Colourlock, specifically. We try a couple different colors and combinations, mixing in Alcantara on the trim pieces. We bring this epic M5 home with PPF, Ceramic Coating on the trim and exterior, and finish with a slew of new parts before taking it for a spin... no pun intended.
We're offering a new Alcantara service, where you can send us your trim pieces and we will wrap them for you, and ship them back - This service starts at $550, and as you can see, we're ready with templates made for Alcantara in the E60 M5.
What did you guys think of this new video format? Should we continue like this in 2024? IS THIS THE KEY TO SUBSCRIBERS?! $22k+ detailings?!
I guess we shall see.
Thanks for watching! and HAPPY NEW YEAR

[@MarchelloHancock]

Initially, I didn’t understand the price that was quoted for the work; $20,000. Now, after watching everything that this “detail” involved, I definitely understand. Your team literally made a brand new car. The level of detail, expertise, and professionalism that I’m witnessing is astounding!! Great job all around. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@IAMDetailing]

Appreciate you watching the series and for the support! 🙌🏽 thank you

[@DrSaleh65]

I totally agree . was completely worth it.

[@ps238mb]

Oh I didnt get the quoting and was always wondering how much they charged for it. The whole time I was watching the series I was always thinking „they better charged minimum 10.000€“ but after hearing they charged 20k I am more than happy about it. This is definitly a hell of a detail 👌🏻 Great job, only the RIMs should have got a little more detailed work I think but everything else AMAZING work! Thanks for this video series! And happy new year 🎉

[@Supremepikachu]

They did the headlight sprayer covers so bad, the parking sensors and the way they applied the ceramic coating is just plain awful, not to mention they used knock off chinese emblems. Imagine paying 22k to get a bad respray lazy detailing cleaning and Aliexpress crap lmao.

[@ps238mb]

@@Supremepikachu You do not know what the customer was willing to pay for the parts or maybe even the customer provided the parts.

[@Will-mg6vl]

This series is amazing. Personally had a hard time seeing the og interior go. That silver trim was so nice and brought some much-needed light to the interior.

[@Nitrogenlegend]

This is not detailing... This is ART.

[@Supremepikachu]

Using chinese knock of emblems and terrible respray is "art" to you?

[@DavidLopez-oq6ye]

Don’t listen to the haters, I personally think you guys did an exceptional job all around. Made a busted M5 even better than brand new! Amazing job as always!

[@Collateralcoffee]

You should always read what the haters write. There might be some truth in it. This is bad advice, dude.

[@Supremepikachu]

@@Collateralcoffee Indeed, i noticed they did the headlight sprayer covers very bad along with the sensors, used aftermarket emblems and did the ceramic coating too fast and awful.

[@atomicdetailsoc]

I like to pretend my 525i is an M5 sometimes. then realize i am just lying to myself and i go cry in a corner. lovely video sir.

[@arnick2]

Staggering transformation! You all should be proud and the owner grateful. BRAVO!

[@slobodantimotijevic9977]

Detailing has a new meaning from now and it means make it new but much better. Great work as always!

[@gregorysmirnis7017]

Your team is the best in the world! What you do is not detailing it is art. Congratulations and thank you for sharing!! 😊

[@IAMDetailing]

That means a lot! Thank you!

[@Supremepikachu]

What a huge lie, they did the headlight sprayer covers so bad, the parking sensors and the way they applied the ceramic coating is just plain awful, not to mention they used knock off chinese emblems. Imagine paying 22k to get a bad respray lazy detailing cleaning and Aliexpress crap lmao.

[@ashtonm.3825]

May be it's because I'm getting old myself....but I really love watching older cars restored to new!

[@viktorsmirnov957]

Superb job, guys! This m5 looks stunning! I’m not quite sure for stitching on panels, but black and white interior combo is just my favorite!

[@mrz5705]

Those 3 vids have just completely blown me away.... Your best work yet...!!! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@IAMDetailing]

Thank you! We appreciate the support!! More in 2024! Happy new year!

[@DrSaleh65]

for sure im brining my cars to you . the level of detail is insane. i have watched all your videos and since then my cars look better than new. hopefully i will see u guys spring 2024

[@IAMDetailing]

Looking forward to it! Thank you for your support! We look forward to showing you our work in person!

[@DrSaleh65]

you will always have my support . and some of my good friends have gotten their Porsches detailed from you. top notch work@@IAMDetailing

[@spiceetaco]

Being from South Dakota.. who in the right mind has this car here?? Let alone cares about it enough to do all this! Love the work!

[@alexandre_c_lindolfo]

Amazing, man. Congratilations on the work of art!

[@js.samurai]

Que obra de arte, parabéns para toda a equipe envolvida neste projeto maravilhoso. Melhor vídeo do YT quando o assunto é detalhamento e revitalização!

[@michaeldawkins3758]

Wow! Great job guys.

[@desmondlanga]

You guys changed my mind on my dads 2000 Mercedes E class. We bring it up 200%

[@nardotechm5317]

You guys did a really great job 👏🏽 I’m definitely going to bring my M5 to you guys 🐺😁

[@Garren.B]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this series… 23:30 is the money shot (minute mark).

[@jimc9222]

Incredible transformation. Concours ready! Enjoyed watching the series.

[@IAMDetailing]

Glad you enjoyed the series! More to come!

[@JohnNick72]

Really great job on this classic M5!

[@individualiseyourcar]

Great job. Thanks for your trust in our products 🙏

[@IAMDetailing]

🙌🏽🫡

[@_elChapo]

Everything is perfect, but for some reason I have my doubts about the self-adhesive alcantara. It looks very cheap, and I think it will not last long

[@individualiseyourcar]

You can trust us. We are market leader in Germany. It will last ;) By the way: You don’t mean self-adhesive Alcantara. Alcantara is just a brand and not a type of fabric. Alcantara does not have a self-adhesive fabric. This is our indivitara.

[@Supremepikachu]

Yeah it's even badly wrapped... They even used knock off emblems like wth

[@PandaPanda-ht9rs]

Это великолепная работа. Вы лучшие. Сколько времени потрачено на все это восстановление.

[@Khan_Art_]

These videos are therapy.

[@dmcars147]

Really incredible. Personalized, but professional throughout. After watching the series, I actually don't know how you did all this for $22K.

[@IAMDetailing]

🙌🏽🫡

[@allanmedrano3278]

Outstanding as usual Jakub! Truly magnificent

[@IAMDetailing]

🫶🙌🏽🫡

[@OlayerB]

Once I saw that this is a manual transmission M5, the time and expense makes sense. Great work.

[@galann8276]

une très belle restauration, sur cette Sublime BMW M5 E60, et l'alcantara dans l'habitacle une touche magique qui lui donne un look d'enfer, je souhaite une très bonne année 2024 a toute l'équipe de I AM DETAILING , bonne continuation a vous !! 💯💯👍👍💪💪

[@lucasriossoler5574]

The most spectacular work I've seen in my life. Worth every penny of the 22k that was charged. Congratulations!!

[@riazhaq3523]

Absolutely top class 👍

[@erezyoal]

Wow that's next level 👍

[@RenaissanceBoss]

Incredible!

[@f2x441]

Amazing job on an amazing car !! A little bit too expensive, but when you look at perfection...

[@mariuszkoziarz7913]

Wow😍, I watched the whole series and I am mega impressed with your approach to this car. The whole transformation is fantastic👌. It is a pleasure to watch your work. Great job, I wish you continued success. Greeatings 👋

[@P4SDetails]

I’m more than impressed.

[@omarsraidi4065]

Amazing work 👌🏼

[@carlos916]

Amazing work guys!!! I need my dashboard wrapped in alcantera!!! These cars are infamous for the leather dash shrinking and tearing in the seams!

[@IAMDetailing]

Give us a ring, you can send us the dash and we can wrap and ship back!

[@tedwhitehall2540]

Amazing work

[@kawasakiwhiptwo5821]

Like the video?... Loved the video. My favorite M5. And this is the most beautiful one I've ever seen. Great job.

[@najmalsabah4852]

Great job on a great car, well done 👏

[@matthewviviano3653]

Love it! What would’ve really been gorgeous was to make the seat inserts black alcantara with a white stripe in the middle

[@TheDocMackCarChannel]

Looks like a really nice outcome. Good job

[@marcoberetta1984]

Sono senza parole... Che spettacolo!

[@trackncars]

Happy new year

I sat up all night watching all three episodes. Wtf did i just watch. I live in san diego and im in the market for an E60. Im bringing it here asap. Wow.

Great work guys. Maybe better then new. ❤

i just didn't like the alcantara but anyway well done guys, amazing work.

[@IAMDetailing]

How’d you guess?!! 🤣🙌🏽

[@zakariasobhzayed1902]

Perfect 👌

[@alexandrosmilonakos447]

I love such videos

[@TheSouthEastaz]

THIS IS IT!!!

[@Panek_]

It is a shame that the front bumper is badly mated with the hood (the gap on the left is smaller than on the right).This can be seen at minute 23:21. You should also correct this. The rest is perfect.

[@craigstrickland1572]

That new interior is the heat. Really love the look of the Alcantara, takes it to a whole other level!

[@IAMDetailing]

I’m impressed by the quality of it and how massive of a difference it made once we did all the smaller trim pieces. Have a great new year buddy! 🫡

[@craigstrickland1572]

@@IAMDetailing Me too. Stay safe and I look forward to more videos after the New Year. Have a good one!

[@farturinn]

Approved!

[@troyjeup2861]

The trunk is missing the M5-specific number plate trim panel. Maybe got in an accident in the past or something. Awesome to watch this lots of work ❤

[@IAMDetailing]

We removed it in part 2 ;)

[@user-puzer1]

Молодцы ! 👍👍👍

[@darrenpitts4521]

Ok Ok Ok! I finally looked at the entire video. Brother, you’ve dropped the microphone on this one. It’s marvelous skill and workmanship on full display. I can only agree with the many comments that this was transformative detailing. This baby is more than “CLEAN” - It has been restored to a higher level, making it kind of a 1 OF 1. Perhaps you should consider changing your business to “IAMDETAILING&TRANSFORMATION” 😅

[@IAMDetailing]

🤣🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@nazlikehoxha7222]

Spectaculaire

[@louis-markqabazi5696]

DUDE! Your music is killing me softly. Sounds like DJ Quads/Joakim Karud/Czech Vibes.

[@IAMDetailing]

What type of music would you like to have in the video?

[@darrenpitts4521]

🎉Part 3 is the best Part! Great job team.

[@mindiaburjaliani]

definitely wonderful work. better than brand new but where did the M trunk lid go?

[@jackdoe3889]

Very satisfying to watch how professional workmanship and quality materials and products transform a car. In your experience, how durable is that Colorfast dye? AFAIK most do not last much beyond 2y in a daily driver, hence my reluctance to go that route.

[@tedlym.3390]

Please have a Happy New and Improved Year. Every car I watched you work on was improved. Thank you,

[@ase826]

I’ve been waiting the whole week for you to post this final video of this masterpiece, the best restoration video I’ve seen for bmw e60 m5 , May I ask what type and degree of window tint you installed? Thanks a lot , keep up with the wonderful job you do

[@tonypammen6150]

I think that was one of your best details so far , I liked the contrast in the interior. Wishing you all a great new year 2024🎉🎉

You made the boot lid Europe spec 🎉

[@20thcenturyfoxyoutube]

Homie must love that car because it might only be worth a little over 25k on the market

[@JimmyG91]

Did you apply clearcoat on top of the annilin leather? I have done redye with colourlock my exp is it dosnt hold up on high tear places like steeringwheel gearknob armrest and outher side of the seats when jumping in and out🤔 hope this holds up for use. Great work as always!

[@burnoutclips]

I wonder if kyalami orange/black interior and the new bucket seats would look good on the e60

[@_Flguy76]

Ill buy this car when your ready to sell it. its beautiful, I have one now that has 650whp, I have had 3 E60's Love them

[@alfyer5]

Personally I liked the aluminum trim way more than the Alcantara. The Alcantara just doesn’t go with this interior

[@Supremepikachu]

And it's badly wrapped too.

[@lScArCl]

Perfect restoration! Curious about what is wrong with the car's exhaust. Checked comments but no one asked about unsymmetrical exhaust tips :)

[@roberto-pz2hs]

I wish I bought one of these E60 M5 6spd’s when they were affordable.

[@danfarrington7727]

This was a highly satisfying series, despite some of the interior choices 😆. Was this a customer’s car? Or employees? Or was this a flip?

I want mine done!

[@zainoo_91]

That was incredible to watch! May I ask what was wrong with the first installation of the PPF?

[@IAMDetailing]

We were happy with the tolerances on the edges. Some of the pieces were precut templates from old renderings that were super accurate, and we felt like we wanted to be as close to perfect and pristine coverage as possible

[@Ben_Or_Asulin]

WOW

[@nevashnonevashno7779]

Peace of art

[@frantotti9754]

Well done, the car looks much better .

[@chuckehrlich]

The alcantara trim with white stitching is beautiful. I wouldn’t have chosen white leather, but it does look very nice. Awesome restoration!

[@individualiseyourcar]

Thank you. This is our fabric: indivitara. Not Alcantara (it is only a brand).
