To be fair, it wasn’t necessarily Richard‘s fault it broke when it did, but it’s interesting that it did it as soon as he got behind the wheel 😂

I am convinced that Richard Hammond has the super power to break any car he gets within 10ft of. That's why he made his business.

[@lorentzcoffin4957]

I wonder what hammond’s auto insurance is like. Is there any company willing to cover him given his propensity for destroying cars?

Fleet insurance I'm sure

[@BandiMasha]

They won't claim on the Insurance anyways

Now he's got the workshop.. He can finally be fully legal on the road and not a doctor or what ever he was claiming beforehand.. lolol.

Company insurance for the cars he wrecks on TV, so it doesn't affect him. His personal insurance must be quite steep though, given his reputation.

Lucky person! I opted for a 535xi, still jealous of the V10. But at the time awd was the way for me to go. Too bad they didn’t put the S85 engine in a car with awd

No matter who is at the helm, BMW's of the modern era are fragile. The CE light goes on if the car doesn't like anything. Like your shoes, or the fact that you slammed the door.

Gee golly, can you draw a circle, start a fire, and find something heavy? That's all they do.

[@BigHumz155]

The radiators weren't even that bad. If Hammond took that for a lap again it would probably get hot again. Should've went for larger radiators and coolers

[@barjonahbuxton3264]

@@barjonahbuxton3264 The cold air intake system Mike had installed certainly is not stock.

[@BigHumz155]

I understand the whole keeping it original argument. But at the end of the day it has an M3's transmission in it, so that argument is thrown out of the window. Now it's about keeping that V10 cool and happy, and that's MUCH more important than keeping an unoriginal car original

[@320iSTWEdition]

@@BigHumz155 There is simply no need for aftermarket parts. The original parts are more than capable of keeping the car in its ideal temperature range under ANY conditions. Otherwise you'd all knew there was a problem 15 years ago......but there were NEVER any complaints about the cooling system...... at least Sabine Schmitz never had anything bad to say about the M5 V10..... and if that won't convince you nothing will.

I guess I’ve “Richard Hammond’ed” my e60 twice. It’s a 535xi, fyi. At about 110,000 miles was driving a friend to an airport 5 hours away on a 90° day and killed the water pump, and made it to the airport on time. At 160,000 miles ran through the gears to about 80 and blew the well aged coolant lines off of the turbos. Second one was expensive. Long live the e60!! Wish the M5 estate came to the USA, it’s a hero car

🤤 that car is sooo nice

[@BlakieTT]

Nice vid :) Also: DOGGIE! 😀🐶

[@Yvolve]

I like BMW's but they are an absolute pain to work on if you don't have all the right tools. You can tell they were designed for production line efficiency and not ease of maintenance, both on the cars and motorbikes. You have to take half the vehicle apart if you have to get something that is behind a body panel, which is really frustrating. Changing the headlights on certain models means taking he entire front end off. Their engine management software and other electronics are also cumbersome if you don't have the computer to fix it all. Such a shame, because they're often great cars (depending on the model) It is great to see a pro work on one though, Dara knows them inside out and makes it look so easy! Lots of respect for this man and his dedication.

[@BrianGon89]

Amen on that

[@apodski]

A lot of BMW are the exact opposite of this, meanwhile there are far more mundane cars that are a service nightmare. Like the e46, quite simple to work on, about the only special tools needed are a $15 cooling fan spanner and an advanced scanner. V10 m5 is definitely not on of those bmw's tho. Notoriously a maintenance disaster.

[@Yvolve]

@@apodski I'm talking about how it is put together, which has been the same for all modern BMW's. They are not designed to work on, but to assemble quickly on a production line. How much does that advanced scanner cost? Exactly. I've never come across a car as poorly designed for maintenance as a BMW, with the possible exception of Peugeot.

[@BrianGon89]

@@Yvolve Yeah this is exactly it, the access points to parts. You get the impression pretty easily that they're meant to be assembled in big chunks and not taken apart with enough space unless you remove all the other junk around whatever you're getting at. Servicing japanese makes kind of spoils you for that extra thought.

[@apodski]

@@Yvolve You can buy a cord for $15 for your laptop, and obtain factory software on the internet and have all the diagnostic and programming capabilities available. BMW factory program is called INPA, cord varies by model.

Do you also plan on sorting out the rear light message that came up as soon as you switched the car on,as well as the restraint faulty system?

[@Asad-zeetwo5241]

[@TrevorDennis100]

There was an awful lot of crud in the fins of one of the radiators when your disassembling. I wonder how much difference simply blowing that out would make? Modern heavy equiment like excavators, skid steers, agricultural tractors etc. automatically change the fan direction after a set period of time, and all sorts of debris gets blown out when that happens.
