Both of My BMW M5s Broke Down - E39 M5 & E60 M5 6-speed

We have a V8 and V10 M5 down. The S85 V10 in the E60 M5 developed a rather unpleasant noise and the gearbox in the E39 M5 decided not to gearbox anymore. Also, project Raliegh receives new carbon fiber intake plenums from Eventuri!

The times here in Germany will be a lot harder than the past years. Everthing gotten so expensive like Fuel, Car insurancy and the list goes on.

My E39 M5 is about 140,000 miles was glad to see your engine is still running strong even if the transmission has an issue. I have noticed the popping out of third gear once or twice in the 15 years I've had this car and never knew about the arrestor balls that cause this issue so this video definitely helped me! I think I will be upgrading that even though my transmission is otherwise fine. I hope the e60 shifter didn't mess with the transmission! I upgraded my stock shifter to the UUC short shifter and I haven't had a problem in ~40,000 miles it definitely improved the shifting experience - those plastic balls on the stock shifters literally deform and fall apart!

Sreten I had to stop watching your vids months ago bc it reminded me of all the work I need to do on my car, but couldn't afford to do...hopefully in the new year my raise will allow me to get it running closer to Sreten standards 🤞

What makes the world great today is that I can get entertainment out of your passion, you can make a living, teach others, and live your best life. Happy New Year! I think in the old days they would call that art! You're an artist!

It looks like the carbon plenum on the driver's side is deforming when you rev the engine (look at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1599">26:39</a> near the V10 logo) ...maybe it is too thin in that spot

[@M539Restorations]

I know :) Hence why I had to deploy Renzosil.

[@persiancucumber9255]

I saw that too, right in the area of the badges too

This man embodies the spirit that //M used to represent - Thanks for all you do Sreten!

[@goodnefario1059]

Always a great day when Streten uploads a new one! Alpina B7 in the background looking great!

Dear lord, shivers down my spine. I've never wanted an E60 M5 so bad! Great video as usual

Oh the SOUND The Sound. Always wanted a song that I would never tire of and I'm not talking music . Your right foot plays it.

This became my favourite car channel, such good quality content.

[@BlueXonar]

Its wild that you can actually see the carbon intake ripple with the revs! Thats awesome.

I usually go lock to lock before turning the car on, get some fluid into the rack. It has helped with the frothing and cuts down on a lot of the whining.
