My BMW E60 M5 Total Cost Of Ownership After 1 Year

[@rhiantaylor3446]

Couple of points - the price you quote for the parts would increase a lot if bought from BMW and there is a lot of experience needed to buy good parts at the right price. Second point is that your 114k subs must include a fair few who would buy your car at a "retail" price just to know they were getting a good one. I appreciate the attraction of showing us new stuff rather than a succession of M5 refurbs so I presume the KZbin money is more attractive than just doing multiple M5 recoveries. Channel "M539 Restorations" seems to combine both successfully with his many V12 BMWs.

That engine sound still raises the hair on my neck!

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

It has a unique sound for sure

[@trevonhill8552]

Thanks for the update on the price of maintenance on this nice M5 very informative as always Nathan 👍🏾💪🏾

[@mattnycm3]

Good job restoring this car. I had a 2008 in 2017 when it was just 9 years old and I had to replace things like the oil cooler and suspension. I got rid of it when it started going into limp mode so it could have been rod bearings, SMG issues, etc...

[@BLAZENYCBLACKOPS]

Nathan I’m honestly shocked that your channel doesn’t receive more attention, when it comes to beemers you’re top notch, and you automotive knowledge period is as well.

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

I get alot of exposure just not on new videos

[@mrjr7966]

Great job Nathan love that you got M5 cinematic shots paired with super chill music in the background!

[@roberttennyson6572]

Loved the video. You gotta know how to turn a wrench to own a used bmw

[@FulNitro]

such a awesome build and car, still crazy you got it only for seven grand

[@jakeeclouse4799]

My dream bmw. A sorted e60 m5. They are so gorgeous and they sound like a lambo. Either this or an my around the same year. Both are beautiful.

[@tech42long35]

Man!!.. that car is a REALLY awesome looking car.. Some cars just have "lines" that are just timeless. BMW has a few models that make me feel that way.. Brandy-wine red.. deep nice color. VERY classy. Nice vids and camera.

[@ricklane8554]

Hey Nathan, in Holland we used to have the TV carprogram: " De Heilige Koe" in English that is " The Holy Cow" lol. How cool is that? :)

[@ramisaleh1020]

Nathan, i'm a huge fan. Thank you for all that you do. M5 is amazing looks and sound.

[@poposki01]

perfect informative video for our E60 M5 community- THANK YOU!!!!

[@standyourground9973]

Video quality's improving immensely, Nathan! Keep up the good work! New camera?

[@tregooch5960]

Love the car I have an 07 and I will not part with it !!! I hope to be able to wrench on it myself as I learn more!

[@jonowen6612]

Beautiful car. On my bucket list. Helpful content!

[@DiZZoLabs]

12,200.. Keep it! Or dump it and take the cash. Invest into a 2000 M5

[@BmwMe-uh9sy]

150 for all 4 control arms? u gotta use oem lemforeder arms my guy

[@DuaneMoore]

Tugging at my heart ❤️ strings .

[@olegsukhotskiy7761]

Worth every dollar.

[@atrain132]

Love Falken tires.

[@smplyizzy]

Alignment! And get the carbon fiber interior parts!

[@johndurcan8833]

Great job on the M5. Sounds awesome!! As you say, should go up in value with rarity. Seeing that the newer ones are pants, how about doing an older-school BM like M539 Restorations? or an i8?

[@burntavocado5033]

Man my headlights look like crap compared to yours. Great car Nate

[@mijr9075]

You need some toothpaste and a buffer 👌🏽

[@BLAZENYCBLACKOPS]

I have a 08 550i (White) and I’ve probably spent close to $2000 just in tires over the years (I live in NYC so that should explain a lot) and that’s with having a rim and tire insurance package for the first 3 years of ownership (bought in 2013 for over $30,000 with just over 50,000 miles). Probably another $4 to $5 grand in other repairs too, (ECU water damage, alternator, brakes obviously & rotors, water pump, and just recently dropped a grand last week to repair a couple of O rings that caused me sever heart palpitations when I thought I struck oil in my driveway but it was just a solenoid O ring leak, the parts cost next to nothing, it was the labor that destroyed me). So yeah outside of that the car is awesome and I’m not being sarcastic, the ECU I blame on myself but now that I’m aware of it it’ll never happen again (fingers crossed 🤞, lol), if you can do the repairs yourself then right on but you better know what you’re doing because if not you know the end result, better have AAA.

[@jamest5149]

Anyone thinking this is expensive or is a ‘BMW only’ issue are living on another planet and don’t know what Luxury performance cars cost to maintain and run... it’s just the price you pay to run a heavy luxury performance with 500+bhp. There is not one brand or car that doesn’t require the same. This was was neglected by the previous owner(s), most of the work should have been done of a few years, not left for one big bill. This is now one sorted car ready to go on for another 10 years with just normal servicing and maintenance.

[@billyingram5394]

Nathan what is the deal with the passengers mirror? It looks like the motor went out while it was folded into a weird position.

[@Maxim.Teleguz]

Zoom in a little to remove shadow camera man.

[@johnmaclean5429]

Love your editing!

[@Michaelplays53]

Love that car Nathan 👍looks and sounds awesome 😎 Have a great week

[@elcasho]

That colour, gorgeous!

[@whatthehell3949]

Hey Nathan , it would fantastic to have a list to know where you got all your pats from in the US In Australia its bloody difficult to find these at a reasonable price love your work mate

[@migiro6070]

Let's imagine to buy 850i 120 000 dollars 💵 and after 3 years it will be 60 000 dollars. It's like every month you loose almost 2000 dollars.

[@dnbuzumaki79]

E31?

[@davevaughn7057]

That M5 looks great and sounds good to🔥

[@gorillaboy3894]

hey do you fix bmw m5 with rod bearing failure?

[@MrMihaiD]

Falken's for such machine? Please put some good wheels on like Hankook or Dunlop

[@mikimiki195]

Great video Nate

[@silviataylor92]

Hi, My bmw E83 crankcase vent valve went bad with pressure in engine & blow out my valve cover gasket. Do you think it could have damage any other seals?

[@dirkduggler]

looking darn good this thing

[@GeorgeAusters]

Very good price for a well sorted M5

[@carlover9764]

How much rod bearings cost to replace at mechanic

[@kctreemann]

Thanks,,, sweet ride,,,priceless ,,,,

[@billyingram5394]

Nathan what type of tire did you say that you run on all of your BMW'S and where do you get them from please?

[@zoneonthetrack4499]

He said falcon

[@zoneonthetrack4499]

Falken my bad

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

OHTSU FP8000 or the 7000

[@OzzyTheFerret129]

Now keep it and drive it on the weekends and all summer will be a collectible

[@painhere]

Very clean

[@rifleman_brian]

Hi Nathan. Curious about the type/brand of the video camera you used because the color is just stunning.

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

This is shot on the Sony Zv1 but I am going back to the canon 80d, the Sony is having focus issues when we are in the shop, these cameras shoot very flat in color, color is added in edit , this is the case for anyones videos you see on KZbin

[@CrazyOneToo]

I wish you would make an intro like you used to have in all your videos.

[@petermvm9527]

So when are ur selling I'd love to buy it

[@YouAdrian28]

Hi there! Thank you for the content like always! I have a question for you - you living not in warm state, how you are worming your workshop? Cause you are always in t-shirt 😁

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

I keep the shop at 75F via my mini split heat pump

[@johncoss5604]

Job well done. If you hadn't fixed the car it was probably just good for parts.

[@billrichardson5386]

I think someone who knows that car and understands it has been sorted out by a professional would gladly pay 25k. Realistically I still think closer to 20k. One thing is you are never going to see an engine like that engine, and the e60 is the best looking chassis and certainly has aged well. All I know is I would much rather have a 150k mile BMW than a brand new Honda, but that's just me. Awesome Job with that car. Sounds amazing.

[@blairmanstevo2013]

Lot of money, lot of work... Lots of car! ‘How does it Feel?

[@ryanmichael3125]

How much would you sell the car for

[@dnbuzumaki79]

Beautiful

[@obabobai]

Labor is way too much in the usa mate!

[@giomemana7881]

7200???? perfect😈😈❤️❤️❤️✌️

[@kevinkarbonik2928]

I have a really nice blue one (only 1400 made in all E60 rM5 run)I want to sell..... lol..

[@snowblindbeats]

In Sweden you’ll get a really shitty one for 25.000$... you need at least 30k for a decent one

[@anthonyk]

Dam it's been already a year 😲

[@renatasr4570]

👍😎

[@discordjulius6990]

good deal

[@Julianklaus]

You sound nicer than BMW doctor. That dude is rude as f**

[@HollywoodHornet]

When you said "it depends on what the economy is doing". Katie heard that as "it depends on what the commies are doing". I loled

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

Well same difference i guess lol

[@robertmilroy2493]

And that's all doing it yourself, if you'd paid someone else to do it it would have been way more

[@kjemad]

cost of 1 year of ownership with zero use....

[@505M5POV]

Please keep the car

[@johnwoolfrey5093]

$40 for a window regulator? You got your parts for a lot less than most people. Most of your quotes were cheap. I think it would have been a lot more $ for average people

[@aydinkov]

Please dont sell it save this car.

[@ii7317]

Ship it to Cali, 50g+ easy

[@Dutch94]

5:17 As a matter of fact you did Nathan, kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIvEmJ6NpZiZoLs

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

hmm didnt even remember I did that video, however it wasn't titled the same and like anything else with KZbin , unless the video was less than a week old its like you never did it , no one remembers

[@VelvetHammer1]

BMW's in general depreciate faster than the speed of light. Beautiful cars but I would probably never own one.

[@brianallen858]

Take a break from trying to be a hoovie guy, for your own piece of mind, buy something unusual for small cash from now on guy 👍👍

[@triplem1812]

Why put a title in french when the video is in english ? Expliquez moi svp... 👎

[@bone7986]

Break my wallet
