Its time for BMW to inspect the cheap BMW M5 Competition that i just rebuilt. Ive done all the repairs myself despite being advised that the structural repair should only be carried out by trained technicians. It wasn't long until the BMW tech picked up a few mistakes and explained why i had voided my warranty immediately .

Its not a blanket warranty void, its a catagory void, for instance if you have an engine failure and the map is deemed to be the cause because driveway fred with his 50quid remaps did it then your engine and gearbox warranty is gone, But your warranty for your brake calipers, heated seats, infortainment etc would all still be covered by warranty.

I wish more KZbinr would do this instead of going to their "Friend Mechanic" or some random Mechanic. If you want proper Information and Evaluation, you should always go to the Experts. Seen tons of other KZbinr Videos where the Mechanic either spreads Nonsense or because he isn't an Expert on that certain Brand/Model says more is broken than it actually is, because "Buy bad, badly treated Car, bring it to Mechanic and add a Title like "My new (enter car name) is an absolute Nightmare!" and then act surprised it has issues despite buying a really badly treated Model. This is also why i prefer Mat Armstrong

Lots of People who do Videos showing how "unreliable" a Car they bought is and all it's Problems, they of course pick the worst one on Purpose, then bring it to a Mechanic (Usually also a KZbinr) who then confirms how terrible that Car is - this brings more Views than bringing a Car to a Mechanic who then says "Everything is great" because People love Drama and want to see how bad a Car is and make fun of it.

Hi Mat, quick update from the Netherlands: the skirts are supposed to be this long!! We have the same here with the G20 3 series here. They are supposed to be starting at the backside wheel gap and to end somewhere middle of the front passenger door. That has to do with the lighting in the sill (the bottom part of the side of the car (don’t know if this is the exact word sorry). This exterior lighting will be blocked otherwise.

Usually all you need to look for are the emission stickers under the hood, or the GVWR sticker or the Tire Size sticker that most likely in the driver's door jamb most often. Anyone who spends any amount of time with the average vehicle off the street can spot differences that indicate crash damage repair. It can be shocking how many vehicles going down the road have been in a collision. You did a fantastic job Mat.

The thing that I like is an average guy takes on a pretty complex and daunting task that others would not try and succeeds. None of this stuff is easy. Without realising it though you raise the issues of consumers rights to repair. Manufacturers are trying to stop anyone other than themselves from repairing a huge range of consumer goods. Plus the issue of planned obsolescence is costing us in money as well as resources. So what Matt is doing is great for our planet

Fair play, those BMW techs are high calibre, and they gave the m5 a good workover. Good to see the remap exposure too. Keep on going matt these rebuilds are awesome

Future advice, if you apply seam sealer on something, if you take dish soap like dawn and put a good amount on your fingers you can touch it and make it cleaner and straight and the sealer won’t stick on your finger. 👍🏼

Mat, you should be extremely proud of what you have achieved, to bring the M5 back to life and to a high standard is testament to your dedication, enthusiasm and never give up attitude. What also makes you more relatable is you listen to your subscribers and take their advice. That is one beautiful car that deserves to be back on the road, the M5 is my favourite M car. Massive power and pure luxury. Congrats on an excellent build, once you fit the correct side skirts and the few minor bits picked up by BMW you will have a very desirable car that should you sell, will easily fetch its value and hopefully give you a decent return. 👍🇬🇧

@14:04 Yes they are "strengthening points" but that is only for CAD when you remove material to make it light weight and cost saving, when you add a weld you're adding a lot more material back, means you don't need them. They are actually called structural infill pattern. Though I'd probably still replace it anyway.

Mat you should be very proud. Getting a 8 out of 10 on both cars is great. I am sure many "Professionals" can't that.

funny thing about tunes, the dealerships can say that it'll void out the warranties because of an aftermarket tune / map BUT they can also be an authorized dealer for tunes/maps and having them install it WONT void the warranties.
