Richard Hammond drives our manual V10 BMW estate for the last time!

[@Drivetribe]

Thank you all for watching our M5 content this year! The DriveTribe BMW M5 Touring is for sale on ebay here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325440917419

[@OddgitTheGreat]

What version of Omen by The Prodigy did you use?

[@claywilson6149]

Could you turn up the background music please . I CANT HEAR IT !

[@claywilson6149]

No seriously ... i cant hear what Hammond is saying . Fix the sound please

[@ROBBO0206]

Wow this video needs editing again the music and volume levels are all over the place shame love these videos

[@dyent]

You should clarify in a more noticeable place that it's a Cat-N car. The only place it's mentioned is "The car was a Category N back in 2018 but has since been fully repaired", which makes it seem like it's no longer Cat-N -- but that status cannot legally be removed. You could be opening yourself up to legal trouble there, as it MUST be disclosed to any buyer that the car is a Cat-N or you're liable for damages.

[@Lucas_Broom]

The sound balancing was awful in this video. Richard was constantly too quiet and the music was constantly too loud.

[@babagurgur3838]

they must have the same guy who did the old top gear videos on KZbin, same exact issue

[@gregd6022]

the prob when u have pure "media guys" doing the production.. they don't see the content the same way a viewer would.. ironically.

[@RadialSeeker113]

@@babagurgur3838 came here to comment the same thing lol

The constant chopping between shots got annoying as well

[@AWMJoeyjoejoe]

Might want to sort out the volume levels guys.

[@AmplifierHero]

exactly hardly can hear what Richard is saying

[@chriswhitpan7725]

I can here to say this. Edit with some headphones on please

[@robertfrippers]

This is when a volume compressor add-on to your browser helps a ton

[@MattBlank0]

@@robertfrippers That would make Richard even quieter.

[@cepheus7850]

This video did not need any added music, the BMW already provides an excellent soundtrack, and it's always great to watch Richard taking a car out and telling his stories.👍

[@PipeManPeep]

The sound engineer who dubbed this video clearly likes the sound of a V10 more than Hamster's voice. ...and music. It's a nice noise, but a 3 second lull every now and again would have been useful.

[@gamersmudngrubshow6119]

correct

[@patriotbarrow]

No sound engineer has touched the audio. This was 100% the editor's doing.

[@emperorchuckd]

@@patriotbarrow Agreed. Not quite the same quality. Came straight off the Avid/Premier/Resolve

[@iBlewupthemoon98]

[@animestein]

Ironically it reminded me of classic Top Gear videos lol.

[@cliftoncheng2003]

I was just about to make a comment just like this. It reminds of of the old sound engineer from the early 2000's Top Gear episodes.

It might be the same person, for all we know. ​@@cliftoncheng2003

[@mielvanvelzen5967]

Whoever edits these generally does a great job but please turn poor old Hammond's audio up😂

[@CrazyTechLab]

It must be the same audio guy that does Top Gear videos :D

[@WhiteDieselShed]

Glad it's not just me thinking that the audio is terrible. Whoever did the audio on this video should start looking for another job or get their hearing checked. Volume is all over the place with backing music that's louder than the main audio track? Wondered if I was watching a 20 year old KZbin video with no budget or editing.

[@Sid3300]

and turn the music off

[@AndySnap]

Turning on subtitles came in handy for this video... That sound mix is a bit of a mess. A shame as it's a great car, and great filming.

[@captaindudeman]

Reminds me of the top gear KZbin videos, where the music audio is so loud that you can barely hear what’s being said.

[@fastlanediaries6593]

Fond memories of my V10 M5. One New Year’s Day we woke up, no plans. Said to my missus fancy lunch in Paris. She said not a chance we’d make it. Straight to the tunnel from Hampshire. Off and didn’t let off except for fuel (frequently). Pulled up at the Hotel Bristol for 13.00 lunch. We were feet up supper on laps at 8.30pm. Ballistic and never missed a beat. Have owned the E39 V8, Two F10s and now in the F90. The E60 gave me the most fun road trip of my life. 🙌

[@tomdagg6545]

And then u woke up ur alarm going off

[@suprac19]

@@tomdagg6545 I think you might be a disgruntled e39/f10 owner.

[@jerfly9929]

question - which M5 had the most road feel through the steering wheel. I've been a "modern" M owner, and have been greatly disappointed by the numbness of the steering and am looking at buying an older M5. Cheers

[@sirboiledpotato1314]

The sound editor from the old Top Gear strikes again! Why hear someone speaking when you can hear just the music.

[@henryatkinson1479]

Sad to see it go. By far the best Drivetribe car you've had on yet.

[@patrickprulez]

I see the Editor who did the audio for the Supercars in France episode of TG is back working for you now.

[@MrRiggle350]

Some say he’s deaf, all we know is he was the Top Gear KZbin sound editor.

[@sa4555]

As an E60 owner, it was a pleasure to see the whole series. Thanks guys :)

[@shadowj5639]

The music at the beginning and end drowns out Richard's audio. Unnecessary music ruins car videos.

[@CarswithMiles]

I'm honestly surprised that this is getting sold. I feel like they could've easily paid this car off through putting out some more content (assuming they haven't already). And it's such a rare and clean spec. But the new owner will surely be thrilled :)

[@realkilju]

Im guessing they’re selling it because at the end of the day its an unreliable car

[@MilesSomerville]

@@realkilju Eh after handling the rod bearings and throttle actuators, it's a pretty reliable car to own. Especially with this being a manual

[@thenewexeptor]

I guess they just want to present something new and start building and doing new interesting stuff with it. Also financially - not being backed by BBC or Amazon requires compromises.

[@Kermisreporter]

Thought I was the only one with sound problems. But as I pass the comment section the editor is allready roasted. I hope it is fixed on the next video :)

[@dlygrind]

Another vote for genuinely sad to see this gem leave the Drive tribe stable. This is the car that made me connect with Mike over the love of all things v10. But having heard one of this generation m5 saloons rip by me on my morning commute, I would describe that wailing howl as honey sweet. But I don't doubt that epic intake paired anger with the smooth swell. Sigh, I'll shutup now and to check the auction. Well done all! Can't wait to see what you do next.

[@okienative4785]

Was your audio balance guy high AF for this video?

[@gamersmudngrubshow6119]

Other than the audio balancing in this video, it was great. Farewell, M5.

[@aadiflux]

Audio track balancing on this video is on the level of Fast and Furious franchise

[@okienative4785]

Please don't give it that much credit.

[@rupertsmedley4210]

I worked for BMW in 2007 and sold one of these, same colour but huge spec with lighter interior which I prefer - made 100% better by the manual and other mods.

[@Andy-mq6yv]

What is going on with the sound mix!? Love the car, sad to see it go

[@WH250398]

Last time? Did he crash again?

[@agy234]

I would love to see his insurance rates

[@samcourt6228]

😂😂😂

[@atenza525]

As a Tesla owner, I love the ridiculous acceleration and speed of it. However there’s always something missing while doing that, the sound and feel of an engine and exhaust. It’s a huge part of the driving experience and will be missed by many with new cars. RIP naturally aspirated engines.

[@bradscott2432]

It's not a small fire it's a "minor thermal incident"

[@michaeldonaldson5888]

Great engine sounds during the cockpit shots in this vid!

[@dmacpher]

Great video - that opening mix is a bit off on the levels though 😂

[@BiffTannenBTTF]

It's amazing that sound production can be this bad in 2022. Wow

[@h3ntai_465]

Glad to see the old top gear sound editor come back

[@VinDieselS70]

The sound reminds of the naturally aspirated Volvo 2.5 petrol straight 5 with an open exhaust. Just love the sound from a Volvo straight 5 and a V10 from BMW and the Lexus LFA. More of those please

[@VinDieselS70]

@drivetribe. Oh right. Please enlighten me.

[@diegogobeti]

This is the best car ever !! Cheers from Brazil.

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

[@mistreku]

music needs to be louder coz I can almost understand what Hammond is saying.

Why isn’t Jeremy as involved with Drivetribe?

[@tomdagg6545]

Music way too loud

[@jtthebrick3]

I’ve taken two Tylenols and 4 Advils…and yet I still have a headache from that music

[@grantkruger3689]

I remember Richard saying about a Murcielago V12 at the end of its life, in the sound it made you could almost hear "YOU'LL MISS ME WHEN I'M GONE!" Same with this car. The new M5 will be faster, and probably a better car, but while you're driving that V10, I'm sure you can't really tell 😁

[@areebsiddiqui758]

Not sure this is comparable to the swansong of the last old school V12 and in my personal opinion Lamborgini's best car.

[@ilia0wolfskin]

fire the sound guy.

[@garretthazlett9116]

Love what you all do! But I have to suggest that ya'll look into your sound mixing, everything is louder than Hammond's voice. Makes it very annoying having to adjust the volume every couple of seconds... anyway, cheers!

[@davidlong3359]

Not sure if it’s fixed or if I just have massively different EQ settings than everyone else but it’s fine for me

[@alizvrinttv8356]

I actually own both, an E61 M5 Touring 2008 and an E60 M5 2006 Saloon or Limousine as we say in Germany, and no, i would never swap to a manual, neither one of them. The SMG is really what separates this Car from many others, not in a Bad Way. Its a racing gearbox that gets the most out of that glorious V10. 330kph from 507 hp thanks to the gearing says enough 😉

We realize what we had only when we lose it. 15 years ago when this car was new it was just another fast estate, like Audi RS6, Mercedes AMGs and so on. But now we realize that there will never be a V10 in family car, probably ever. Even V8 will soon die out. What an era we had that we didnt really appreciate fully.
