Everything That Is Wrong With My NEW MANUAL BMW E60 M5

Everything That Is Wrong With My NEW E60 M5

[@Mikepakulak927]

Things I replaced: OEM Injectors, OEM Coils, OEM O2 sensors (pre-cat). The plugs I purchased from Autozone not knowing they weren't the OEM style (2-prong). Definitely change those out. OEM Ionic control modules. Cleaned the MAF's. I replaced the right rear tire this April thinking the tire was bad, but clearly the wheel is damaged enough that it's still leaking. The belly pan was ripped to all hell, so I just tore it off and left it off. The shield over the transmission was also beat up, so I took that off. I do have some bulbs for the low beams I believe. Windshield cracked this winter after I replaced the O2 sensors. Got them swapped, turned the car on and let it heat up. It was literally one of the coldest days and with the front defroster on a tiny crack turned into massive crack across the screen. One other note: The cigarette plug in the front does not work. There was a penny stuck in it when I bought it and I never got around to troubleshooting the issue as I was constantly chasing the misfire issues.

That is a huge help, we should have a video up thursday showing the state of the rod bearings , i once again thank you for selling this car and making it possible to get it on the channel for everyone to enjoy

[@jamestabor587]

This channel will soon need a name change to “Nathan’s BMW E60 M5 special ity workshop”

Valeo 170 amp Alt. on RockAuto goes for $329. Not bad. Better than my M62tu alt.

Virginia Beach in the house let’s go. BMW 2008 535i 80,000 miles . I want a lot from your channel thank you.

RDC is a white module in the trunk at the bottom next to the spare tire, i replaced mine after spilling a gallon of water by accident,

[@RickCT2000]

Great video - This will be a great car for one of your viewers (maybe me) to buy! Love the spec on this baby plus the "Nathan Seal of Approval"

[@V10James]

Awesome video man! Seeing this beast up and running smoothly probably around 26-28k? Clean titles are selling good above 32ish. Salvage title even with manual shouldnt be worth anything close to low 20’s. Excited for more content!

[@commandershepard6189]

The alternator for the e60 m5 has a metal brush like part on the back side. Don't remember the part name, but I replaced that myself for cheap. Typically the bearings in the alternator outlast this part three times longer. I no longer have alternator codes going on for a year now. Replaced this part at 127,600 miles.

[@baitse7676]

I'd say it's worth $30k by the time you document the repairs and have the dents fixed. Don't sell it to that numbnuts Eric at I do cars

[@TomasBMW]

What's the milage? ISTA+ shows 197,480 miles?

[@petp]

My E60 had one of the sway bar brackets break too (passenger side, just like yours). i didnt hit anything either...must be metal fatigue or some other defect. Anyway, i chose to replace the whole subframe since in order to properly weld it you have to take it out anyway. $150 for a used subframe and luckily my mechanic didnt kill me on the labor charges.

[@frankenstein6071]

Hello Nathan. I have to do a crankshaft sensor replacement on a 2009 bmw 550i n62 4.8 can you tell me if that will need a relearn done or not? I've looked online and can't find any info anywhere.

[@kevinuyeji1182]

Anyone know how to fix p1140 on a m44? :(

[@buckdesystem4562]

As an owner of an E60 manual right now, I would totally pay low twenties for this car, even though I hate blue.

[@canooples5134]

Nathan: yeah don't buy a e60 m5 they're horrible, anyway I bought another one.

[@dannyr3346]

It’s an old ass car buddy, you’re gonna have to go ahead and change all the bushings front and rear.

[@s.m.whiteII]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 star content!

[@orlanmedina3693]

I'ma have to start saving. I want that. Blue is my favorite

[@mfcmfc8483]

Learn a lot

[@bigern79]

Glad to see my new car is getting some good love.

[@ingresswizard9044]

Salvage title car is about 10-15% less than clear title car. So if clear title car is $30K you would expect this car to bring $25.5K. If it has been years since the salvage and significant miles have been put on the car since the incident the effect is usually very minimal on price versus a new salvage titled car.

[@photilal1960]

This seems like the perfect candidate for an excellent sorted driver. Salvage history means it'll never be worth the crazy big bucks of the low mile manual cars but you can drive it worry free

[@tech42long35]

Hey, awesome video, cant wait to see it "begin".. cool color, really enjoyed it Nathan.. thx !!

[@andrewthompsonuk1]

This is an insight into just how difficult it is to purchase a used speciality car. The fact that it's a Cat or whatever is only one minor consequence for the car. The motor trade tries to classify cars by all these factors, however under you actually have someone who knows the cars look it over and confirm if the engine needs to be torn down for whatever...the real value of the car in terms of its usability just cannot even be guessed.

[@teufelhunden2820]

FIRST!!!

[@lp2565]

SOLD! lol... This is going to be a good one. Really looking forward to the restoration of this bad boy.

[@OzzyTheFerret129]

Looks good Nathan it should all play out for you ,you have definitely see thease problems before

[@bombing626]

The fool pump

[@lorenzobeckmann3736]

great stuf. thanks for responces. those tires surely tell a story. looking forward to see this car primo

[@tunepatrol]

RDC is tpms, but I think you know that by now.

[@rw3915]

Keep up the good work!

[@adasterdezaster2865]

Nathan the entire back half of the car from the rear doors back to the trunk has been repainted. I'm guessing this car will bring north of 30k. Polish alternators spin backwards and discharge the battery :)

[@philreynolds6018]

Did I miss hearing the mileage ?

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

121k

[@robertthrem3382]

buy the new lenses for the headlight and put it in the oven some screwdrivers and the heat gun and the peals off 150 bucks on eBay

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

Did that once, never ever again

[@Pruzina]

Exactly. I'll never do that job again. I rather just polish/restore them as much as possible and call it a day

[@uisperfectemail9720]

“I can tell by looking at them” no need to smell or taste them lol
