I never understood why they didn't make a manual for europe. THE PART OF THE WORLD WITH THE MOST MANUAL DRIVERS!

[@eliasvanloon]

@ SMG?

[@domegrobnik74]

@ Europe has only SMG trans in the E60 M5,but we got 6-speed manual in the closest cart to M5 and that is 545i

[@EidolWays]

The only problem is BMW basically parts-binned it and used the transmission from the 545i, as others have said. The synchros can't really keep up with the revs, so a 1->2 quick shift on a full-throttle pull is... eh. I cannot do it without grinding gears, even if I kick the clutch pedal through the floor. So I just have to wait a second between shifts. Then it'll slot into second without grinding.

[@robi4387]

@@EidolWays Interesting to know. Everyone on the internet praises the manual. SMG does take a bit of getting used to. Sometimes it will pull away in 1st sometimes in 2nd, but right now the alternator has gone. So it is not going anywhere in any gear. BTW, here in the UK there are quite a few 645i, 650i, 545i and 550i with the SMG box but very few manuals.

[@si98justme1]

Yay! We get to see a long mile M5 that seems to have been well taken care of until it's last few owners, who cheaped out, and what a surprise, it's not too bad... Thanks for the video and looking forward to watching you reclaim this beast from the trash can, which it looks like it was destined for. Maybe, just maybe if they were well taken care of the entire time, they wouldn't have as bad a reputation. AFIAK, BMW even recommended replacing rod bearings on these at certain intervals, people ignored it, and engines went to the grave, where's the surprise there? It really grates my cheese, when people say a car is junk when they either don't have first hand experience, or the experience they have, is a poorly maintained car that still has original 10+ year old perishable parts, or cheap parts on it (especially certain bearings, fluids, filters, gaskets, hoses, grease, plastics, tensioners, pumps or any other consumables). People just assume a car can't break by time marching on, they assume rubber lasts longer if it's used less, they never think about fluids deteriorating over time, not just mileage. These older performance BMW's (applies to almost all of the others too) were for the most part, the pinnacle of performance in their day, and even by modern standards, are still way ahead of the vast majority of cars out there. If you're buying one, and it has issues (which they likely will), understand that, it is because they were neglected (most of the time), and because they are simply OLD. It's not going to be a daily reliable driver, until you address the AGE of the car, not just what's currently working or not. You need to catch up on what's been neglected first, then look at what's wrong with it. I get that it will be expensive, possibly too expensive to do all in one go, but if you really, really want one, because of what it is, not because it's cheap, and plan on long term ownership, then be prepared for that. Ferraris are notoriously high maintenance for the cost of entry, are expensive to maintain, and at lesser service intervals, which some require an engine-out procedure... These cars were comparable in performance to many Ferraris at the time, and by comparison, were infinitely less expensive to maintain, and were infinitely more reliable, yet you don't hear most Ferrari owners bleating about cost of ownership, but you hear plenty cheapskates (and other people with 0 experience in the matter) bleating about their experience with cheap BMW's that they weren't prepared to maintain, or restore to a semblance of BMW's specs... These kind of owners are the same that ignore (or are blissfully ignorant of) BMW's recommendations, service bulletins, TIS's, service intervals etc, and sell their tragedy to others to vicariously experience their pain... I mean, really, what do you expect, honestly??? To those who wan't one of these cars, but have butterflies (old till slips, IE no budget left for work on the car) in their wallets after the purchase, this is not the car for you, what's wrong with the car, is you, not BMW (or any other make for that matter, as the same rules apply), so stop spreading BS for other's that have never owned one to lap up and get on your bandwagon. There are exceptions, BMW isn't perfect, neither are every other make, if you address these, properly, before catastrophe, then what is there to bleat about?

I learn something new every video...best car channel on KZbin.

[@adindeklerk74]

2:30 Here we have spotted an extremely rare incident... A BMW driver using his turn signal. A rare sighting

[@philhart3878]

Advanced drivers are taught not to use the indicators unless they are of use to other road users. Makes using them a conscious decision rather than a zombie/subconscious action. For instance. If you are going to use an off ramp and there’s traffic about, you indicate your intention. If you are about to use an on ramp, regardless of traffic, there’s no need to indicate. Other road users know you have no other place to go but into Lane one. Just sayin.

[@BMWGarage77]

Great find bro!! Looks like a winner!!! Good luck with the TUV!! Maybe paint that sway bar black! 😜

[@monzasenator]

Greetings from the Raleigh area to Frankfurt. I live in North Carolina but was born and grew up in Langen, right "around the corner" from you.

[@JRGarage]

Awesome video! Nice find!!

[@DearMajesty]

[@ambertrails]

"Challenge done! It took me years to finally light up all the dash lights completely!" xDD So, no sleep for me now, I have to watch. We need a higher frequency in your video output man :D Edit after watching: I think you've bought a great car and it sounds incredible good. Very exiting for the upcoming parts :D

[@jcca1973]

I think you got the most amazing M5 made by BMW with the proper gearbox , congratulations waiting to see the development of that machine.

[@halfaouiyounes1568]

OMG the underneath is so clean , what a lucky buy , i love it

[@whitehornet90]

1.4Million views! And here i am, watching this all over again. ❤️

[@Burningsteel83]

Really a pleasure watching you work while comfortably seating at my desk ! No really, great videos. Thanks

[@vhsarchives357]

Great video, love the M5. I'm keeping a 25 year old e36 alive.

[@strikersr8396]

I can‘t understand how someone is able to bring such a car in such a bad condition. Didn‘t they care about it?

[@sikimasio]

Or staged video to get more views :)

[@larsosejohansen]

Visamk Yea, definitely staged in the US and then shipped all the way.. No, its not staged.

[@raychester1609]

Visamk if you don't get that this guy leeks honesty and integrity you shouldn't be watching his extra ordinary and brilliant content

[@craig_ramjet990]

My wife drives a $50K SUV with all the features and it's about that filthy. With two daughters I'm expected to clean my e38, her SUV, my old e90 touring, and some piece of crap Chrysler. Two motorcycles and a jet ski. Plus clean house, wash clothes, maintain the yard, etc. You guessed it.... White Women.

[@tumbox9204]

Not everyone gives a rats ass about cars like you and I.

[@jonaskemp741]

I absolutely LOVE this sometimes sarcastic Commentary! Subscribed!

[@TwoDollarGararge]

Finally a car KZbinr who doesn't say "reeeee German cars are complicated junk just buy an old Toyota"

[@heavyweight6440]

This is why i dont like "Hoovie".

[@ginofoogle6944]

yeah that guy is a moron.. german cars are the best. only idiots would say otherwise..

[@mikemoyercell]

@@ginofoogle6944 toyotas are not that great in my opinion but then again ive always been a bmw owner. I'd rather drive something with style, performance and reliability. That is a BMW in my book.

[@fredlachy]

For non millionaires the advice remains sound. But if you have money you are just wasting your life going around in a Toyota!

[@TwoDollarGararge]

@@ginofoogle6944 I think Toyotas are great if you just want a set of four wheels to get you from point A to point b and back to A and spend minimal money on it but you know they're not going to be fun and the fun ones are expensive look in like most other fun cars that are relatively new

[@alx2009ar]

12:00 at this moment when you revs the car you can see an sparckle on the engine... or something like this just below the intake

[@farkid911]

That would be the lever for the itbs

[@HorrorbleGamer]

I hope you grow to over a million or more subscribers by the end of the year! The wealth of content you offer, bro, it's magnificent. Praise from South Africa.

[@fiberlockabatement592]

He's like: "This car is incredibly dirty and nasty" I am Like: Damn that M5 looks pretty good man!!!

[@안주형-s4j]

World outside Germany: smooth engine sound Germany: sounds like agricultural machine

[@BillHawkins0318]

He lives in Germany. He can source those parts quite cheaply. It's a deal for him. Here however the struts alone would cost you a $1000 ....

[@gavinchia5841]

I'm not even a BMW guy but I'm hooked on these vids

[@sirhcmods]

Funny because I was actually gonna buy this exact car from that seller down here in NC lol went with another e60 that works great

[@robi4387]

That was probably the best decision you ever made my friend. Fairy lights every two years if you are lucky. My first track day - fairy lights TA and IDC and also needed oil cooler. Two years later no startup whine - hydromotor burnt out. Three weeks ago iDrive went black, every warning light on the dash, no power steering, no drive, limp home - might have been the IBS, but it wasn't. It might be the alternator, we'll see when it arrives. Good luck, let us know how it goes.

[@FlightSimXtreem]

9:58 they throw that in cars when they ship it overseas to dehumidify the car because of salt and moist when it's on a boat. :)

[@szrpopovic]

I wouldn't call myself much of a BMW fan but i am really glad i found this channell..i enjoy watching your videos!
