Just to let everybody know: the fuel systems on these are fine (N57 engine this). The only reason they fail so often (or atleast it seems that they do) is because people that drive BMWs are too cheap and put 10£ of fuel each time and sometimes even let it run dry. This is how you introduce a bunch of air and heat into the fuel system and destroy the high pressure fuel pump. Then it sends shavings throughout the whole system. You then need to replace: high pressure fuel pump, all injectors, clean all the lines, clean the fuel tank. It's a massive job. So please, DO NOT LET IT RUN DRY. Same applies to 2 litre N47 engines too. Just fill it with fuel when it's on 1/5 of the tank. Don't wait.

[@jdmguy44]

"people that drive BMW's are too cheap" Given what was said about the comprehensive service history and the money spent on maintaining it, I'm thinking the previous owner has not been a cheapskate...!

[@Superzesh101]

I’d say that is good advice for any modern diesel engine as they all don’t really like to be run dry or misfueled.

I’ve got the 6GT for 5 years now and I only think you really appreciate how good it is once you have owned one of these. Not sure what the 5GT is like to drive but the 630D GT does tick most of the boxes although not a track car but will cruise fast enough on the Autobahn

[@dotherightthingbro]

Watching Matts videos you notice a strange relationship between people and cars. The newer more expensive cars seem to be looked after whereas the cheap slightly older ones are run into the ground. Then when both of these types become really old everyone loves them and no expense will be spared to keep it at its best like Matts SL.

[@billybonds4449]

The new graphics showing your costs breakdown was a nice touch Matt. Also, the sensible decision to opt for the blind removal should help the Profit and Loss account being in the black at the end of the financial year. Would be interesting to know how much the Beamer retailed for new in 2010.

[@davideselvi3906]

I don't know exactly what the price actually was in pounds when new! But I can assure you it was in between the 5 and the 7 series! So, basically, expensive! Although the exterior is awkward (matter of fact it's kind of a marmite car; you either hate it or love it) it's a clever car because with less money than a 7 series, you have an unconventional car which gives you a bigger interior space than a 5 series F10/11, a better practicality, the same amount of legroom in the back as in the 7 series and the same headroom as in the X5! All of this, on the second hand market........ At a WAAAAAAAAAY lower price than an X5, X6 or SUVs in general

[@owensteele1645]

[@philipTOMPSETT]

I’ve had my 2011 535GT for 10 years now and its a great car. The removable parcel shelf that slots perfectly under the floor of the boot and the dual boot/hatch have been incredibly handy. Cruises superbly. I didn’t realise it was still worth that much. Great vids. Cheers

Agreed on the blind, love a good pano roof. I only close mine when it’s legitimately hot and it’s being left parked outside for a decent length of time, in a vain attempt to make the car slightly less of an oven when I get back in, but that’s hardly a frequent occurrence here in the UK. Otherwise I’d much rather have more light in the cabin.

I think you did the right thing with the blind Matt,our weather in the UK isn't that great so any sunshine coming through is a welcome, Nice to see you picking up a reasonable condition car for a change with little maintenance.white isn't my colour but with the silver alloys and the black interior it goes well.And hopefully a little profit "To keep the doors from closing"😊.

[@FastDriver318]

I used to hate the BMW GT range (3er, 5er and 6er) but have recently come to like them. They do offer a brilliant amount of versatile for the money, even if the early versions are quite visually challenging; although by the LCI 3 GT and 6 GT they do like quite cool in my opinion! Also, they offered such strange engine/ gearbox combos; you could have a 550i (V8) GT, and a 335i Manual GT. You've got to wonder what the market for such cars was!

[@chetanrajanwal]

335i gt manual? Maybe for a towing market? 550gt for the long distance cruiser who wants the power to tow/have fun when needed😅 we just recently got a 620dgt which is absolutely lovely. Perfect for grown adult/elder years road trips with the grandchild and economical around town when used everyday. We considered x3/x5s however when trying to get in, it was too high for my mum who is the primary driver and her knees are not what they used to be. This was also offered with a lot of spec, so all in all, win win win😊

[@memeGT150]

I totally get where your coming from, it is ugly but kinda appealing!😊 It has an Eastern block out of proportion look to it!

[@FatHead1979]

I still don't get the point of the GT series other than parting muppets from their money. Each model is: 1. No bigger on the inside that it's non-GT counterpart 2. Has less headroom in the rear because of the rear roofline than it's non-GT counterpart 3. It's more expensive to purchase and slower/less efficient than it's non-GT counterpart 4. Worse to drive (like an SUV) i.e. it might be trying to look sporty but you can't cheat physics compared to a saloon 5. Can't go offroad 5. My eyes.............................just look at it 🤮🤮 (the 3 GT was a bit better for space in the back but the 5 GT is a joke in this respect)

[@leefoster8015]

7 series chassis advantages without having to drive an actual limo. When new they didn't quite cut it in the looks department but when bought in the used market you don't care about looks and it's all about comfort and the drive.

[@MP-Fin]

Love me some BMW! Thanks for the video again Matt. Your videos are a huge joy for me 😊 Have a nice saturday evening!

[@despaterson8918]

I bought one of these because of your original video on them a few years back, your comment on the drawer for crisps sold me on it! There’s a thread on the FB 5GT page ref blind replacement. 400 quid or so if I remember. I just took mine off and had a dark limo tint put on. Great cars

[@davidvivian596]

Hi Matt - great video as always. When you mentioned the non-folding mirrors, I did wonder whether you were simply travelling too fast for them to fold. After all, trying to fold your mirrors at say, 30 mph, would be a safety issue surely? Scrolling down through the comments afterwards it seems I was right and that if you had Goggled it, you'd have found the info you needed. A lesson for the future, no doubt. Also, if your mechanic watches your videos, which he possibly does, perhaps he is feeling suitably embarrassed at his charge for 'fixing' the mirrors?

[@andrewroberts4736]

That's a nice car. I like the shape and I find big cars much easier to drive. I thought I was the only person on earth still using Pirelli and Good Year. That is a huge amount of car for the money.

5GT sits on the then 7 series wheelbase, split talegate was really clever and I went on the launch for this car; was for golfers to put clubs in with rear seat passengers having the option to stay dry whilst you did of raining!

Wow. I always forget about these. I’d heard about them pre launch and loved the concept but on a trip to Oslo in 2009 a fleet of them pulled up outside a fancy hotel and I was unconvinced by the looks. I’m over that now though and think a 530d GT would be a great buy.

I largely agree but be aware that they are as wide and long as a 7 series so finding a decent parking space can be a bit of an issue.

I think you’ve been reasonable with the roof blind, especially as your upholstery guy suggested that fix; he’s the expert after all, and it looks neat. I know why the emergency services were going nuts: Matt had bought a decent car for a change, you’d even managed to come in close to the £500 budget! I’d have called an ambulance as well 😅 I did think the 5|Series GTs looked ungainly, not helped by me not being the biggest fan of that gen 5-Series’ nose, but you’re right, it does suit white quite well. Not my thing, but definitely something a bit quirky and different to an SUV or estate.

I am one of the few people in the United States that has ever owned one of these. Mine was a 550i xDrive Grand Turismo. It was one of the most problematic vehicles I have ever owned! Everything from minor niggles to catastrophic failures all within the first 60k miles on a meticulously maintained dealer serviced vehicle. Almost everything that used electricity failed at least once and a couple of things like the window switches and motors plus the sunroof motors failed multiple times. It had numerous issues with the turbos and oil leaks. A 100 miles before the warranty was up I traded it in on a Lexus.

Love the channel ive watched for a while and all i can say is I dont know a better person to buy a used car off than you... There maybe one out there.... You clearly love doing what you do and if someone loves this car when they see it they'll pencil the job in.

Had one of these and it is my favourite BMW. Loved the space and spec and was great to drive. Good car for someone. 👍👍👍👍

Always liked the 5 GT. I remember seeing one when they were new in Windermere. It was Black with a light/cream interior and looked great. Had a luxury yacht vibe

No, you did not cut corners with the sunroof blind. I liked the idea of removing the original blind and tinting the sunroof glass. You just saved a grand that you can put towards day-to-day business expenses. Great video.
