The E39 M5 is one of the most iconic and well-respected M-Cars ever built. At least that’s what everyone told me. Being an AMG guy I had never really considered joining the other team but after a few talks with my good friend OJ Lopez from Fluid MotorUnion, and hearing from you guys, I had to pull the trigger. In this video, you will find out the condition of a 400K mile 2000 BMW M5. I’ll show the car inside and out and talk about what the previous three owners had to repair and replace to keep her going this long. Of course, I’ll tell you what I paid and you’ll also get a unique perspective of this car coming from an AMG enthusiast. Oh and it shoots flames!

Great deal or total ripoff?

Solid deal. I'm sure your add revenue will pay for all the expenses this car will be covered

[@SRQmoviemaker]

Good buy... for now... only time will tell but by 400k you should be fine.

[@greatpix]

Great deal or ripoff, hmmmm, too soon to say, depends on how long it takes to get it to the level you want and how much additional that will cost you. The vehicle is one of BMW's most reliable ever made, but that doesn't mean you'll have no problems, as you drive home showed. I'd say you've got a better than 60/40 chance it's a great deal.

The Lexus ISF is the reliable upgrade to this #Facts

[@ThaMagnaCarta]

@@pakigangsta5 the ISF doesnt sound half as good as this v8. reliable,? Any toyota is better than ANY bmw from 2000 and on onward, however when it comes to performance, or just in general "best car" this BMW is leagues ahead of any Toyota. imo

[@pakigangsta5]

OnDay 7 dude I thought that too, my car to buy was the e92 V8 M3 but after I bought an ISF and beat the V8 M3 and kept up with a V10 M5. I’ve had my mind blown. Btw, this is my first Toyota, I buy cars from diff manufacturers, I’m looking at trading it in for 991 Porsche 911 right now

[@AMGmeister]

Very impressive! However, the 400,000 mile E55 you showed a while back still has the original engine, therefore it still takes the high mileage crown.

[@LegitStreetCars]

No doubt the M113k is more reliable

[@bassel.m2988]

👍👍👍

[@amir9693]

It did even have the original transmission.

[@alextorkelson6261]

I kind of question the reliability of the M113K once you start modding though. Ringland failure just happened on mine.. requiring a new motor. Eurocharged 83mm pulley/tune, split cooling, PLM heat exchanger, CM30 coolant pump (which sucks, I know), and PB5 longtubes.

I've rebuilt several SMG transmissions and they are more or less a manual trans through and through just computer controlled but still mechanically shifted. They are pretty tuff as long as something catastrophic doesn't happen to them it's usually a slave bad or a position switch. Really easy to fix and diagnose.

Rich Cast Hmm, tough one. Although I have to say I prefer the E34 because where I live they are much more rare but there're plenty of E12 falling into pieces (quite similar to the E28). Still prefer the E28 over the E12, especially if it's a 535i 😉

Did you compensate Doug Demuro for your opening line of the video? Love the channel btw. Great repairs. Great cars.

[@GeFeldz]

The E39 5 series is probably one of the greatest cars ever created, extremely well engineered, styled and put together. Very comfortable, very reliable, very connected and communicative to the driver, very economical (at least the regular straight-six ones, the v8s and the m5s take a little more moolah but for the performance it's cheap!) and they just ooze style and class! Mercedes E-classes of the age (e39 in europe was 1995-2003) were also mostly classy, reliable and comfortable, however BMW really took it farther with handling, road feel and sportiness. The E60 is a great car, especially the 6 cylinder manual ones, and while the styling was very criticized at the time they really were a bit before their time. The E60s are beautiful cars and they almost live up to the E39, but that little bit of extra build quality and feel that the E39s provide is something special. Find a well taken care of E39 with the lowest mileage you can and you will be happy!

[@TheStwat]

I love it. Those wheels are gorgeous. Sporting Mercs have never been handling focused cars in my opinion, with the exception of the 190E 2.3-16/2.5-16.

[@cubanrafy]

[@KMTVA757]

[@NickKautz]

'97 540i e39 6-spd was the first car I bought with my own money, lol. First thing I did was chop the muffler and weld a pipe in it's place , put a wing on , a front lip, some wheels , and lowering springs. I think I was $6k all in and it sounded great , looked awesome (this was 10 yrs ago) , got compliments , got girls , beat a mustang gt (barely) , more than once someone asked if it was new... haha.

I saw that car before you owned it, at a car show in Atlanta!! I had no idea that it had that many miles.

[@user-mr9uy9gj5l]

I always get a kick out of your humor and the opening scenes in this video, not once, but twice, fooled me when the cars behind you took off. This was such an interesting vid, Alex. Filled with info and even a bit of your trip back from Atlanta. The only BMW I've owned was what I purchased back in 1978 when I was a kid. It was a 1979 BMW 320i. Man, that car was a blast to drive, far more than Mercedes. My older brothers made me let them drive when we were going somewhere in my car (that's the trouble with being the younger brother!). I'm now steeped in Mercedes Land with age . . . but dang, this video was awesome. All my life I have actually wanted a mint 2002 from the mid 70s . . .so who knows. Again, due to age, I don't need what you just purchased, but just a sweet little 2002 to putt-putt around in like the old fart that I am.

[@Spacenerd101]

You just earned a new subscriber because of this legendary purchase! E39 M5 is the goat

I once paid $7000 for a Dinan S1 M5 with like 100k miles, the only catch was that it needed rod bearings. I bought the car, shipped it home, and did the rod bearings myself, after which I enjoyed the car for quite some time.

Insanely good deal, in Europe these M5s starst at around $14k with way more problems than your M5.

[@dyent]

Naw. You're looking at around that for around 100k miles. For this kind of milage it's closer to £6k, about $8k USD. Most American M cars have a different spec to the European ones anyway though - Not sure if that applies to the E39

[@Shmubek]

@@dyent No, I literally quoted you the price for the cheapest one I found for sale at the moment and it has 179K miles. The E39 M5 in USA is identical to one in Europe.

@@Shmubek There is one on autotrader for £6995 with 260k.

[@Shmubek]

@@dyent I should probably have mentioned in Europe mainland or Europe Union, a right hand drive is pretty much useless outside of UK, unless you want a parts car. Besides that crazy insurance prices in UK keeps car prices lower, compared to Europes lower insurance prices and higher car prices.

Before I go shopping for the 4th car...I'm about to buy 2 new rear tires($200-$300) and get the transmission serviced($450-$550) on my 2013 Mercedes C250 Sports Sedan as well. Maybe I'll just stick to 3 cars instead. My brother in-law owns a car dealership and hes always using his dealer tags on his cool cars. He recently picked up a nice C6 Corvette, 2016 C63 Sedan(Amazing car!) and a pretty cool Jeep Rubicon for some off road fun. This does not include the Dodge Viper or Cadillac SLR hes got in his garage. He's a really nice guy and I'm always happy to hang out and share our interest of cars.

Absolutely love the E39 M5, did my share of work and upgrades on them back in the day, stupid stuff like broken cup holders, seat belt buckles causing SRS lights are the norm but the chassis and suspension is rock solid especially when freshened up and upgraded. Worst thing on that car are the factory exhaust manifolds they’re absolutely horrible, long tube headers from the few companies that still offer them are an awesome upgrade.

[@Andreas_D-Greek]

Just a little tip, I had a similar problem with the SRS in my e39 540 and it turned out to be corroded contacts, fuses and basically the whole fuse block under the carpet of the front passenger seat. Usually a rear door seal or something similar leaking under the carpet/insulation and getting to that box. ALSO When you sort out your shifter bushing rebuild or short throw shifter install, get yourself a ZHP Weighted shift-knob, you will love it. Either the dealer or your favorite online seller can get them for $75-$100.

Dinan upgrades include headers, full exhaust, strut tower brace, and carbon fiber air intake. Bought it for $14k, and have no regrets...except for it getting backed into 2 weeks after I moved to Chicago, another long story, but new bumpers front and rear, a fresh new white wrap, and in the process of replacing all fluids for clean slate to my favorite car ever. Can’t wait to get back on the road with her.

I drove a BMW E39 M5 once and I fell in love with it. It's just fantastic in every way, fast, amazing engine, amazing sound and looks.

[@ItsMikeArre]

This is a Bmw e39 M5 ... For a sec I though it was a Doug video

[@roiberduran3799]

I was thinking the same thing 😂😂😂

Congratulations!! Is that a crack in rear subframe at minute 16:18 left side?

[@quentinc1275]

Had the same airbag light issue with my 2006 E53 X5. Was a bad seat sensor pad which was not covered under the recall in my case as mine was a late model 06. Installed a bypass box along with a seatbelt warning bypass so now the car thinks there is always someone in the seat. In my case, my son drives the car now and a small child will never be in the passenger seat if the airbag ever deploys. Box was about $40 with seat belt sensor bypass from eBay sent from Ireland. Works flawlessly. Good luck with the M5. Awesome car. I recently bought a 2008 Volvo S60 from my independent mechanic with 154,400 miles on it...as well with an extensive service history and all the records. If properly maintained, these cars will run for a very long time.

Very nice, clean car! I agree, I find mileage somewhat irrelevant, I’ve seen practically new cars that have been trashed and sitting around is hard on them as well.

[@sasho505]

If you are thinking of purchasing a high milage E39 M5 I would recommend to find yourself a good mechanic and get to know Dr Vanos!

[@hus-_-bro2993]

16:20 lmao that dusty as indicator😂😂

[@isaacbenjamin389]

Love it! Congrats

Nice Ring taxi! I have one with 237k kms and it has been the most reliable BMW I have owned. Supposedly the early ones had low tension piston rings (less friction) so they produced a bit more power but used more oil. I have the Silverstone interior in mine, and so did the Madonna/Guy Ritchie BMW short film M5. Hope you enjoy the ownership experience. Great cars.

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

Uh, I'm not sure if there's such thing as a "perfect e60 M5". I think thins are constantly breaking.

[@MrvTv]

how do you replace the thins from breaking??

[@pedroecheandia291]

You bought a great Car!!! I bought a 2000 Imola Red M5 with 65,000 miles for $7,100.

[@RichRotorhead]

I just picked up a 2000 Imola/Caramel with 133K for $3k 😎

[@pedroecheandia291]

Wow!!! What a deal!!!

[@michu6777]

How did both of you get them for so cheap!? In the USA M5s go for $10,000 minimum unless they're trashed or have mechanical issues

[@tylercouture216]

@@michu6777 they always go for less then 10k if you have cash though!

[@Andreas_D-Greek]

@@michu6777 When i was shopping for one for months, it turned out the really good looking deals all had salvage, rebuilt or stolen recovery titles. One really nice looking blue M5 couldn't pass inspection, after digging into it, turned out to be the previous owner ripped out the tiny micro LED on the circuit board of the gauge cluster for the Check Engine light!

Found your channel from the M5 VINWiki video! Subbed!

[@tente6506]

Every time I watch your videos I have second thoughts about my own cars, once bc they high mileage and require some work and other bc when they run they good lol.
