I finally bought one in September after 7 years of desperately wanting one. It didn’t meet my expectations. It broke them. It’s one of the most rewarding car experiences I’ve ever had. The car isn’t perfect, and that’s it’s charm. You come to crave it’s flaws. It delivers super car tactility and emotions. It’s beyond visceral. At the top end it sends your heart into a rapid-fire pump. Treat it like a super car, maintain it like a super car, take care of it like a super car, and it’ll take care of you. I’ll never sell it. Ever.

[@brucerobertson5919]

Ceramic brakes were not an option on these cars. Some confusion comes in because the brake rotors are sometimes referred to as "composite" because they are iron discs with aluminium hats. People confuse this "composite" with the carbon ceramic "composite", but of course they are completey different things.

I was crazy enough to buy two of them! In 8 years and 30'000 km besides oil changes that i did on my own, just a clutch, gas pump and 1 ignition coil went bad

[@ThaCommentGuy]

Your review sums up my own experience with my dad's E60 M5 W/ SMG tranny. Same exterior, but different interior of black leather seats, alcantara fabric, and wood trim. Transmission is a little sluggish when you are driving it slowly, but when you get the engine oil heated enough to lubricate the engine for high speeds (and the M mode) the car is wonderful. Mileage is terrible obviously but it is a fun car. Planning to buy it off from him in the future as it is only 27k miles, but torn to use it for fun vs. letting it in appreciate in value. If I am correct, the specific F1 engine this V10 was based off was the Williams Racing-BMW P84/85 3L V10 used in the FW26 & FW27 cars which could rev higher due to its smaller displacement. Drivers included Juan Pablo Montoya, Ralf Schumacher, Mark Webber, and test driven Sebastian Vettel before his Red Bull dominance. Useless info? Maybe, but I like to know that the S85 engine had roots in competitive motosport.

You should test Sreten's (M539 Restorations) manual E60 M5!

[@Biggus_Dickus_69]

This beast will forever be a legend and with the right setup (custom exhaust, full carbon intake and plenum) it's the best sounding V10 ever (and I'm including LFA and CGT). The gearbox is incredible once you learn it, those automatic side bolsters are epic and it's aged like a fine wine. Only idiots moan about reliability which can be remedied for a couple of thousand pounds (which is more than acceptable on a £100K 4 door supercar when adjusted for inflation). Will drive it all day even over my 750hp M5 Competition and M4 Competition, driving experience is incredible.

[@BinaryBlueBull]

You're quite right that it would sound absolutely amazing. However, better than the LFA? With that, I disagree, nothing will ever top that I think. That car sounds like it was made on some alien planet and has a hyperdrive built in (exaggerating for effect of course). There is no arguing differences in taste of course but still I felt I had to try in this case. It would likely at least match the CGT, yes, perhaps surpass it indeed but it would be close. Nice cars you have by the way! If I may ask, what modification did you make to get to 750HP on the M5 comp? I had an M2 comp up until 2 years ago and still mis that car enormously, loved the way you could throw it around and it just took every corner you fed it on the chin

[@josephhernandez5986]

Carbon ceramics weren't offered on as an option on this car. It was in the early 2000s when this car came out. Only hyper cars had them back in those days. I had a bmw m6 v10 I kept the exhaust nearly stock. I removed the secondary cats, resonator and installed electrical cutouts. So I had it loud and quiet when ever I wanted to. I've always loved the SMG! I miss it soo much! I have a c7 z06 auto and when hitting redline in manual mode it shifts hard! Not SMG hard. But it's noticeable. I miss my m6!!
