BMW M5, The Power Of Ten

[@SpecMDriven]

12yrs later and this is still one of the greatest E60 M5 films out there.

[@EA40]

This may be the most beautiful video of the E60 M5 that I've seen...

[@Rozgreez562]

+EA40 Agreed

[@MrBeboopman]

Agreed ☺

[@KingTigerTrap]

very atmospheric please more !;-)

[@eleonik76]

Video great,no doubt. Car however,except for that engine,taken directly from Formula 1,is pathetic. Fault codes come so often,that taking a car for a spin around the hood,and going back home without a faulty light is considered as a very,very lucky day,that deserves a glass of exclusive wine.Not to mention,that servicing that engine can put even person with above average incomes to the cleaners. Its a V10 from Formula 1,so you make calculations. About the design i wont talk about,its very personal,but for me,it just doesnt correspond with BMW philosophy. Interior is absolute crap. Cheap plastic materials,cheap leather,cheap knobs,and the driver oriented dash is...gone. So what we are left with is one engine and gearbox with 1480078 settings to make so I Pad maniac happy. There is nothing legendary about this car. And will never be. The only legendary M cars,that earned its glory and reputation over time,are E34 and E30. Cars made to last. Cars where the driver is in control,not the electronics.

[@HornyGuy1324]

yeah its awesome ! :) check this, this is compilation of this beauty /watch?v=hZFJtZFFEHc

[@stevehardman960]

I got mine 2 days ago here in the UK 12k on the clock and 2 owner car its here to stay and it took 3 years of looking to get the right one cannot wait to drive her 😊😊😀

[@Tcisoff]

This video alone can make anyone appreciate truly memorable cars like these. The words in this video aren't even needed. The sounds of the car speak for themselves

[@s325ibmw3]

Best tribute ever made to the greatest legend of all super sedans ❤️😞

[@TheChismillionaire]

You've come so far Kristen....good for you! It's the Editor chair for you in 10 more years.

[@BMWDoctor]

I’m glad I made the right choice and nothing will ever change my mind V10 M5 or nothing ! I’m glad I never picked or would get rid of my E60 M5 for a F10 ever I would put this in storage before any of that happens.

[@AbcAbc-ox6pg]

I have one as well and put it in storage next to my E39 M5 😉

[@veritasvincet2715]

I am the proud owner of the exact M5 that is in this movie. Having owned an/or driven (hard) several Porsches, a Lancia Integrale and F355, the E60 is a unique combo of supercar performance w/ executive sedan luxury that seats 4-5. Kristen is right. It is the last of the iconic aspirated V10's. Just KZbin it and see video after video of it blowing away GT3's, Gallardo's, etc. Just dropped a Maserati today, made it look like it was in park. This car is iconic.

[@Rozgreez562]

+Veritas Vincetrisi Are you saying you OWN that car she is driving, that exact same car?

[@veritasvincet2715]

yes and yes

[@Rozgreez562]

+Veritas Vincet ... You don't own it,... You know that.

[@ChiekoGamers]

keep trolling

[@iirohavana4837]

Well said. From Finland with E39M5.

[@juanmj93]

I come from Matt’ Farah’s podcast and yeah, great production value and lots of top gear in here

[@makizarco4407]

i cant believe people hate on this car....this car will outperform most cars this day with out any mods

[@AlexKK1010]

If you haven't owned an E60 M5 you have not lived - simple as that ! The wailing sound in third gear is unbelievable, the day I raced an F430 and won on the 405 - in a sedan - top 20 moments of my life :)

[@militia814]

Every time I think of selling my e60 to upgrade to the f10, I watch this and always come back to the e60.

[@cloudcata92]

Why would you want to switch to a f10? The e60 is so beautiful

[@militia814]

There e60 is defiantly designed with the driver in mind. The f10, to me is more based around a luxury car with a lot of power. I will always love my e60 over the f10. Sometimes I just feel like dct would be nice, and the little things the F10 offers would be cool. I find myself driving my m5 more often like a normal car than a super sports sedan. I would enjoy the f10 "around the town" driving more than I would my e60.

[@militia814]

The regular 5 series are still awesome cars ! Good luck, I hope you get it!

[@cloudcata92]

Jeffrey S It's a sure thing,almost done saving enough money,heh,thank you anyway. Take care of that m5,it will always be a legendary car.

[@TheJkghfg]

You dare sell your E60 for an 2012 F10. Seriously dude

[@curseofthegreat]

I just got a 2006 E60 M5 in Silverstone II. UNBELEIVABLE. It’s such a refined beast, and turns heads everywhere I drive it. Brilliant video!

[@edcogan6084]

Perfection, thank you Kristen Lee. I love my E60 M5.

[@edcogan6084]

+777PharmD777 I would. Mine is a 2006, which I bought last year. Almost the same miles when I bought it. I have zero regrets.

[@ildoddore]

I bought a 2007 facelift,...what an amazing car, i love it!! ;-)

[@OkulSmoK]

Briliant job. Nice shots, great presenter. When a woman enjoys cars and driving, then a man knows they can share something really special.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Spectacular video, enjoyed it a lot and looking forward to more footage soon hopefully!

[@skulltrailRFL]

My neighbour bought an Silver E60 M5 in 2006, he sold it in 2013 with about 47.520 miles with everything stock. I drove it on several occasions and it was magnificent, but the engine was the masterpiece of this car, absolutely astonishing, the power, the torque and the sound of the V10, absolutely intoxicating. But the problems of that engine being derived from a F1 car, into a road car, were so disappointing, that he rarely drove the M5 in all in its glory, and the pain of getting the problems fixed, was getting worse as the bills went up. He didn´t sell the car way earlier because he liked it very much as i do, but in July 2013, he decided to end the experience of a lifetime. Such a sad story because of that glorious V10. why BMW?? Why you didn't make the engine more reliable, i´m sure it would be possible. Now we live in a era of turbocharging, and smaller engines with less cylinders, cars like the E60 M5, Audi RS6 V10 twin-turbo, etc, will never appear soon in the future, and that makes me sad. But the thing is i´m blessed that i live trough an era that theses cars existed, and had the opportunity to drive one of theses cars. Because all good things come to an end.

[@whispercars306]

Mercedes still makes the v12 twin turbo cl65 , now called s65 coupe.... same engine since 2004. One of the best v12's.

[@skulltrailRFL]

Yes the glorious V12 Mercedes is also a beast of a engine, but will it last a few years more? I think they would be dropping the V12 engine soon in favour of a V8 TT, but that´s a rumour coming from my uncle who works at one of Mercedes factory plant in germany.

[@whispercars306]

It might continue as it is rival of the aston martin and Bentley which still have v12's. You can pick a late model 2009-2011 CL65 for good price or a 2007 v10 m5/m6.

[@104thDIVTimberwolf]

The biggest problem with the engine, in the end, turned out to be very simply solved; BMW recommended the wrong oil. The 10w/60 was too viscous to flow through the tight bottom end tolerances, causing flow problems thT killed main bearings and VANOS pumps. I know T least 3 S-85 owners who have switched to 0w/30 or /40 and have cars that as reliable as any Honda.

[@Ecuador006]

@@104thDIVTimberwolf are you smoking kush ?

[@arshia1698]

Amazing video. The fact the we might never see any masterpieces like this again, scares me a lot. I'm too young and can't afford this car now, and am afraid if I can ever buy it later...

[@MBS..]

Update us

[@sheasmith1]

Great tribute to the E60. I have a 2007 manual and will never sell it. My RPI GTS exhaust solves your sound problem.

[@afroaliens]

did you sell it?

[@baconisgood1014]

Kristen that was an awesome video, im jealous now and want this car. You really managed to encapsulate the beauty of this car, showing how fun it is and how loud and gnarly this car is. The camera work was incredible, it almost seemed like a short (exhilarating) documentary about this incredible car. Great work, and i hope you are going to do more of these, because they are really interesting and just plain fun to watch.

[@omni01K]

I keep coming back to this video. The car, music, and editing is perfect. Great job.

[@M5lvr]

NIce tribute to the E60 M5. I have the Dinan 5.8 liter stroker engine in mine and will keep the car as long as possible.

[@vincegpking1]

M5lvr such a waste of 35k dollars lol....

[@ernestguevara9222]

To all of those who have this M5, please treasure them for they will be harder to find in the years to come just like my E34 M5. It took me years to find one in great condition. And I'm also having a hard time looking for the E60 M5..I should have bought one when this car was still in production and I really regret it.

[@ODPCLAN]

We luckily bought a perfect m5 e60 never problems with it ❤️///M-POWER

[@vincegpking1]

the last words "I don't think we'll ever see anything like this again"

[@imranvp]

Brought a tear to my eye. The last of a dying breed.

[@tai2691997]

She and the car is simply staggering! That video makes me miss the old M5 and the natural aspirated engine and how awesome is it. You made me wanna own a M5!

[@dbwilljr68]

Very beautiful! I'm moved.. Love my E60

[@hyungwoo0312]

It's rare to see a car video that captures that....... emotion of driving a car. But this one does it so well! Definetely subscribing to this channel. I hope to see more videos from you in the future.

[@bxpapibx]

im about to cry..... this video is majestic! love it!!!!

[@jparavalos]

Best review I've seen on the E60 M5...I'm one of the lucky few to own one...but this video made me appreciate the car a lot more than I previously had

[@TheLeo328]

I actually shed some tears watching this video. I've owned 5 BMWs, every single one, rear wheel drive, naturally aspirated and with a manual gearbox. Long live the naturally aspirated M car.

[@iirohavana4837]

I have owned E39 M5 almost ten years now. Today, I finally got a chance to try out a near mint example of E6O M5 LCI with around 58Ohp (measured, has some mods). It blew my mind. 🤯 The S85 engine dominates every single second of driving. It’s a masterpiece. Sound brings back memories from that great era of V-1O F1 engines. Once again - this video kicks ass! Came back right after when done with driving. 😎

[@olimusa94]

Great film, you just gave me more hope and motivation to buy this car and keep it gentle and forever and take it back on road after 20-30 years. I'm saving money hopefully I will buy my dream car ... 5+stars for film ...

[@m-power666]

this is the best bmw m5 e60 video i have ever seen. You gave unforgettable emotions and impressions

[@raveenrajakaruna1251]

Makes me love my m5 even more. This video is PERFECT!

[@taggsrus]

QUALITY .... 'we dont know if we will ever see anything like this again!' She is a GREAT FUN CAR, I see the extra front scoops behind the kidney grills, I wonder if this puppy has had a modified exhaust system, with headers & CATLESS ..... add that with a RE-MAP and you truelly get 'BRUTAL' over 6000 rpm. I love going into M mode and see my passengers heads vilantly getting jerked around as you change from 1st-2nd-3rd ..... and the sound ..... well, nothing like it!

[@tekniq511]

As an aspiring videographer, really well done video. The narration was well executed by Kristen, beautiful cinematography, and top notch post work. Sound was very seamless with the voice-over and in car dialog. Well done team. From one car enthusiast to another, really hope this team continues to produce these videos as resources allow.

[@EA40]

+tekniq511 Kristen now writes for Road and Track!

[@123jorandbroo]

I think this is one of the best videos, on an m5 that brings the love and passion I have about bmw, awesome video.

[@joyisangust]

Damn i cried watching this... i really think this breed is dying...

[@truthkeeperfilms]

Yeap.. welcome to the eco-centric lunatic world. The elite have V12 Bentley's, private jets, and yachts while in the same breath, tell you that you can't have air conditioning, or anything.

[@marksebestyen]

just bought one...my dream car! it's AMAZING! :)

[@kyliejohn3813]

MORE VIDEOS PLEASE!

[@jstanna]

The no longer work together. Anthony Esposito is no on Hagerty/ Jason Carissa videos. Kristen Lee works at Motortrend.

[@robwilco1]

Excelent choice of music and the editing is marvelous. It really shows the car in all its glory

[@ktraoui]

that was literally perfect. such a beautiful piece of engineering. like she said almost definitely the last of its kind. speaking of her she is beautiful. and to top it all off, in my home city of boston. hats off to you...more videos like that please!

[@sanjinyt9593]

That's sad. I really wont to buy an M5 E 60 because it's my dream car . And i can't wait to put key and drive.

[@DoctaM3]

NIce video... great content. Keep it coming. Bimmer Motorsport, yea!

[@silvianhadoop]

at 9:03.. "that's was fun"..her face really said that. Great work.

[@Sendzik23]

Great video job well done gave me goosebumps love my BMW

[@howsoonisnow1985]

I fell in love with her the minute she talked (4:30-4:50) about the feel of manual transmission. She brought me to tears when she talked (7:30-8:00) about the future of the sports car.

[@spencejr007js]

Great video, and the host,wow. She is right, the e60 m5 is the last of the big 4 Dr m cars with raw power. Times have changed, and we have to go along with that change. Goodbye s85 v10, and thanks for the memories.

[@chevyeh]

Same fate as the M3.....E46 M...the last NA inline 6 legend... I would love so see a film of it by your crew, awesome work!!!

[@Soto-Niko]

Thanks for dedicating such a wonderfull shot film to the legendary BMW E60 M5

[@s325ibmw3]

20 years later in the future I will watch this video again and then I will start crying the good old bmw era

[@syedomarnorth2561]

I need to see more vids,especially tribute ones,I've always loved the M5 e60 right to the day of 2005 when I first saw it on top gear when I was 9.But I want to see more tribute vids please!!

[@CO_EVO_8]

The E60 is at the top of the list for cars I want to own down the road. There's nothing else like it, the v10 sounds amazing. One of the best BMW's ever created in my opinion.

[@ryanmorrison3699]

I agree whole heartedly with all of your points! This car is definitely one of the last of naturally aspirated monster engines. Also, beautiful cinematic presentation! This video spoke to me for sure!

[@mohanada-k91]

The Best ///M5 Ever for me its better then F10 i love E60 And Remember The ///M button(Beast)

[@CroAuslander]

When you rev the E60 M5 from low rev's all the way to the red line it seems like you are charging a nuclear bomb...the sound, the feeling...its just wow!

[@jairomvp]

i haven't feel like this since last episode of top gear uk, great job, the film is fantastic.

[@cubehugger]

I came here for the car but fell in love with the girl too. I live in a third world country and don't make that much money, but it's my dream to one day own this car, before they've all gone extinct. I cried some man-tears at the end. Thank you.

[@BrianCandlish1]

What an epic video! Kristen, you hit right into my emotional center with my love for cars and especially with BMWs. Thank you so much and excellent job on the video!

Nice piece of work! Such beautiful cinematography. Bravo to everyone involved.

[@FederalNetwork]

I agree with what she is saying about the gear box, I've test driven it and the feeling u get when you shift gears is fantastically fun! the new F10 just doesnt have that fun feeling when shifting

[@datazndood]

I thought she was in Provincetown, I drive those roads in the winter when no ones around. Quite peaceful and wonderfully curvy! I noticed you hit that straight away more than once, lol. Lucky you didn't hit a deer like I did. Small world!

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE #WCW ♡♥♡♥ IN MY FAVORITE CAR TOO. can this video be anymore perfect. great job M5 E60 must live on!

[@groupb5420]

If you’ve watched this video because your thinking of purchasing one just go out and buy one because it’s a fantastic car plus they are now starting to rise in price ...I’m an owner of 3 years ( late 2007 LCI model) it’s been super reliable don’t listen to the lemonade boys that are to tight to maintain these monsters then start to post negative comments any owner will state the same comment as I have , preventative maintenance is the key factor of course and warm the engine and gearbox keeping the revs below 3k that’s the secret to longevity of this engine plus when looking to buy go for a full Bmw service history or Bmw specialist history which is just as good I would walk away if both of these are missing as simple as that , the main things to consider is throttle actuators will need to be replaced and of course the rod bearings .... the gearboxes are bulletproof unless they have been mistreated again warm the car up slowly and in between driving let it have a cooling period this helps the clutch as well and PS this is a weekend enthusiasts car not a daily runner which some people claim ..enjoy 😎🇬🇧👌

[@Frammore]

Thanks for that marvelous film. Loved it

[@sylism5086]

This video never gets old.

[@slashfan007]

I am aware of that. I lived with this car back in 2006 and it was a pain in the ass under normal driving circumstances, especially in the city. When driven hard, like in your video here, it was truly something special. An excellent car, but my point is, it is very much an automatic. It sports a single-clutch automated "manual transmission", which granted is not your normal AT, but I would not consider it a manual, unless it came with a proper stick, like it did in the US. PS Great video :)

[@cutietaehee]

This is a great start, now I will be watching you. All the best guys

[@MagicMike87]

The best engine in a road car ever.

[@christheneutral]

Great video. You clearly love these cars and that is awesome. And you are right about that killer engine sound. BMW = passion in driving.

[@Junior44-f7x]

I'm in love with the E60 M5 all over again. My only issue buying it is what color would I get it in, Indianapolis red, or silver stone metallic.

[@reggie27525]

You did a great job. Enjoyed every minute of it.
