REBUILDING A CHEAP BMW M5 COMPETITION | PT 4

Check if your car was damaged with Car Vertical - 10% off here 👉 www.carvertical.com/gb/landin...
I bought a cheap BMW M5 Competition F90 from a previous mechanic after he noticed some structural damage that needed a specialist to fix. I decided to fix it myself but now im rebuilding it im starting to notice some of the smaller parts being more expensive than the bigger parts. If i can find a way to cheat BMW's pricing the build could still be worth the price.

You don’t need the radar on the front as your M5 doesn’t have the adaptive cruise control. You can tell by the two blanked out buttons on the left of the steering wheel. You also don’t need the lane change sensors as it all comes as part of the driver assistance package, which yours doesn’t have. Hopefully that’s saved you some money!

This channel is a breath of fresh air compared to all the other KZbinrs buying cars and making 17 min videos of them getting it washed PPF’d or driving it down the road for its annual day out at the MOT centre. Best channel by far

[@BMW2002M10]

There is no adaptive cruise control on that M5, based on the 2 blank buttons on the left side of steering wheel @2.16. So just need the standard grill, it may also rule out the lane keep assist as they would most likely have to be specced together. So hopefully saves some money!

[@craigkelly9054]

Spotted that myself 👍

[@bcr1973.]

Hopefully Mat reads this...I was going to say, radar is normally always an option.

[@bigmikescar2711]

Yeah, and the adaptive cruise normally comes as part of the technology plus pack which also adds the B&W speakers. Pretty sure I saw this car has the HK speakers so no adaptive cruise. Surprisingly rare on this car.

As a mechanic myself, I admire the work that's getting into these cars that many, also myself, would eventually give up. Love your videos!

[@deanthomas3658]

Mat, your adaptive cruise control radars will need to be programmed and calibrated to the car if they are second hand or new, also because you are changing the ride height of the car the lane departure camera in the windscreen will need calibrating. I do this work daily and it’s needed for your safety and for the car to be fully operational when your driving. Myself and my dad work together as well it’s great seeing you both work as a team and definitely a daily driver for your dad 😉🤣

[@eimantas28]

how much you charge for such job?

[@dc1564]

Are you talking about an ADAS calibration. If so then yeah he's gonna have to get a radar matched up with the vin of the car we had a crashed Honda crv and swapped out the radar, no matter how many times you tried to do adas calibration the car would still have waring lights, we eventually found out that the radar didn't match up with the cars vin. As soon as we put the original radar (which wasn't damaged) in it was happy and no errors. So yeah he would have to get it all re calabrated.

[@deanthomas3658]

@@dc1564 yes mate ADAS calibration. If you change out any radar camera or LiDAR it will need to be coded to the car then calibrated once it’s been coded.

Had to smile when Matt went looking for the top attachment point for the rear shock absorber in the boot space. I made that exact mistake with my bog standard 5 series after it failed it’s MOT for a two inch piece of the coil spring having cracked off. In my case I was able to get at the top bolts by simply removing the speakers from the back shelf.

[@a0a431]

The cut out on the bumper its not ecu its a bracket for the blind spot and short distance radar sensor And the middle one is for the long range radar sensors (adaptive cruise control) , you might find them in eBay used in good condition each is for 100 to 150 usd and the wiring harness normally go used for 60-80 usd The short range radar sensors in most of the time dose not require calibration But the long range radar requires a calibration most of the time or if it was un plugged , the calibration is easy not that hard They are the same as the one used on the 7 series so they are available most of the time on ebay

[@awalk5177]

That bleeding tool has been around for about 40 years, I'm surprised Mat doubted it would work. It's good to learn something new.

As an owner of the F90 M5 LCI, I watched all the episodes and knew my car in more detail. That is very helpful. Thank you for giving the car new life Mat.

[@GT380man]

Mat, you’ve got an instinctive eye & brain of an inquisitive hunter. With no training except in the university of hard knocks, I reckon you “read” a layout better than most pro mechanics. Not to diss pro mechanics, but they’re taught entirely differently to the path of learning you’ve cut into the virtual forest of intimidating complexity. What I admire, perhaps more than any other trait of what you open yourself to let us see, is you’re completely unfazed response to any emerging situation. Many would have quailed at a few points in this build. Not you. Topping all this off is your winning cheerfulness. If I was nearby, I’d just want to help (not that you need it!). You create a good aura & I think that might be why people wish you well. Reinforcing what Clarkson said recently, I recommend you fiercely guard your independence. If you trade access or editorial control to a corporate, even in exchange for a million pounds, it’ll be the beginning of the end of the MA we know & love (if you get what I mean!). May the headwinds always be light & the dangers survivable.

My partner Sally has written this for me, due to my issues, again, great work, great channel, keep it up. Dave.

[@philvale5724]

Hi Mat, I have been watching your channel for quite some time now, And you remind me of me when I was in my late teens early 20s learning on the job, I have still got one of those easy blades that I bought back in the late 70s early 80s, Can you put the great work it’s a joy watching you, I just wish that I had got something to tinker with , But it would not do me a lot of good as back in 2019 I got broken into and lost about £4000 worth of tools I could not replace them. I look forward to your next project it is a big learning curve even the most experienced mechanic can quite easily learn something every day. Phil from the Dark Side of the moulin France

The missing blocks are the radar sensors used in lane assist and such like. Pretty much the same setup I have on my S Class Merc. They do come up on eBay quite often for the Merc, so maybe you'll get lucky with the BMW !! I've rebuilt a few S Class's over the years and added the radar system onto a 2010 car. If yours already has the system in place, you will need to calibrate the front, centre sensor for definate, not sure about the side blocks though... Like Hannah, I'm not a BMW fan :)

[@craigmoorcroft950]

I love these videos as I used to have a M5 in this colour. Regarding the expensive centre radar sensor, I don’t think you will need this. You have the same buttons on your steering wheel as I had and I did not have radar cruise control and my m5 did not have the centre radar sensor. You may need wiring to go to a front facing camera between the kidney grills, check your wing mirrors to see if they have cameras on the edge, if they do you’ll need a front camera
