BMW M5 E60 Transformation Part 2 of 3: $22k+ Detailing Masterclass - Exterior Revamp!

Welcome to Part 2 of our insane detailing on this V10 BMW M5 E60. In this video, we begin work on the exterior - primarily focused on removing the orange peel from the original factory paint. We being with a wash and dent removal, fixing a serious dent in the hood (that required us to remove the entire headliner and sunroof), and then started on the paint correction. We begin by color sanding the entire car. From there we replaced countless parts, utilized some more dry ice cleaning, and even polished the exhaust. We also got to work on fixing the front bumper, painting the brake calipers, and ceramic coating the wheels.
We have even more to come as we tackle the interior in our next episode - complete interior swap including painting and new alcantara, ppf, ceramic coating, and more. If you missed the first video, you can check out the full dry ice cleaning on this E60 M5 here: • BMW M5 E60 Makeover - ...

This is the definition of leaving no stone unturned.

[@Gumshoe88]

When I saw the price and the word detail I thought no way! Taking into account what you do consider calling this refurbishment or extreme detailing back to showroom condition, etc…detail to the masses implies a wash, wax and vacuum, etc. Looks incredible!!

[@IAMDetailing]

We appreciate being seen 🙌🏽🫶 we truly want every car to leave perfect, and its rare we get to go to this level of depth to show people what’s really capable. You can really make almost anything like new if you’re willing to put in the effort. Happy holidays!

[@user-it3eu4yi3j]

Nice work, as I can see from the video. What about the damaged side skirts (sheet metal edge) on the jack holder, has this damage been repaired? The axle nuts also look pretty corroded. After dry ice blasting, do you seal the areas where screw connections and sheet metal folds are again with wax like in the factory? Otherwise, corrosion will quickly occur. I haven't seen underbody sealing in any of your videos yet. Merry Christmas, I'm looking forward to the third part 👍

[@marybetheby5184]

They reapply all coatings. Time constraints may have not allowed the time to film it,but it's been discussed before and other vids show them doing it.

Original factory orange peel, that's a badge of shame for BMW 😅😅

[@truescotsman83]

Always think it’s dumb taking orange peel off. Unless it’s a show car what’s the point and removing the top of the clear coat and the extra uv protection the peel offers

[@IAMDetailing]

😭😭

[@truescotsman83]

@@IAMDetailing don’t want to make you cry 😂 if the owner wants it then cool. I just think if the plan is to preserve and detail- getting a car looking it’s best - keep the orange peel, you’ll need it later down the line - extending the life of the original paint.

[@IAMDetailing]

⁠@@truescotsman83ok so we both probably talking about different thing… orange peel is basically defect in the paint, it is unfinished “process of painting” that taking perfect clarity, depth in the paint and all light reflections coming many different directions. But orange peel has one good characteristic especially for large production cars factories like BMw, and thats hiding small imperfections in the paint. Almost all exotics and super expensive cars are finished with color sanding (aka orange peel removal… if you will look on rolls royce then you will hardly find any orange peel. So you probably talking about different thing or you had heard wrong information at some point because removing orange peel is not a bad thing. Yes it can be dangerous and you can burn through the paint but if it’s done right then nothing bad about it. Hope that info helps 😉 Wish you Merry Christmas and thanks for watching and commenting 🙏🏼 we appreciate everybody.

[@truescotsman83]

@@IAMDetailing no I understand what your saying but I suppose it’s more about your disposition and how you look at it. Only do what needs to be done. Perfect clarity won’t be there but from 3ft who can tell the difference. I understand what your doing and the lengths you’re going to and it’s cool to watch. In my mind you’re reducing the paint depth which isn’t a good trade off generally difference here is you’re carrying out a refurbishment Sometimes are car needs that but without starting again with paint it can only happen a few times in it’s life. Definitely find European and American approaches differ.

[@erniearambula3525]

Watching color sanding always makes me cringe but the results are stunning.

Still makes my heart jump when Victor does it, but the results always look incredible

[@alexandre_c_lindolfo]

The only thing missing was a brand tire compatible with the V10 and the service.

[@timjsmith]

Yes, 4 new matching tyres and at least an oil change on engine and transmission, though maybe this is covered in part 3? I’d have liked to see the brake callipers removed for painting too.

[@IAMDetailing]

The front gets new “Michelin” and the rear Kumho is there for sliding purposes 😅 and not to destroy Michelin in one month. @timjsmith the car got insane service (over $16k just in parts, no labor) before it got to us.

[@timjsmith]

⁠@@IAMDetailingthanks so much for the reply - makes perfect sense. The mud and snow rating on them worried me 😂 This car has had a lot of money spent on it, I didn’t think any corners would be cut 👍🏻 (I’ve seen your other videos, you do great work.)

Not sure where you see dust, but I can guarantee there is non one in the paint.

[@Satrolkof]

So owner pays for the work $22.000+? At that price (which is unreal I belive) you paint the car with ceramic coating integrate or graphene and then you put another graphene coating above not just taking off some of the paint and polish it.. Imo owner overpaid for something that yes.... Here in Spain we ( I would ) do it with something around 2/2.500€..
