The BMW M5 Wagon is Already BROKEN

As a BMW owner I feel confident that this video will be a recurring theme at least once a month until the end of time

[@TheMysticSpade]

as a fellow BMW owner (540i specifically) I completely agree.

[@p-townshankzilla2654]

Had/have a e39 540i, e36 325i, e36 328is, and a e38 740il. This is FACTUAL

@Shndon430 Hurtado you made the best decision

cmon man why you gotta be so spot on 🥺

[@andeleputo89]

@Shndon430 Hurtado nice you settled for an outdated boring toyota with leather seats !

[@alwintheskateboarder]

Sees title* Yup this is a certified BMW moment

[@jonfarah8529]

Oh no. A couple of 25 year old sensors 💵

[@kernoodles]

My heart dropped when Pete leaned in to listen to the belt and his hoodie string was just dangling just above the engine

[@VFRrage]

I had a similar pucker moment there too!

[@helllokitty138]

I just commented that same thing

[@ShadowedSoundsRecords]

" I know everything I'm a BMW owner" I literally LOL'd

[@RandomGuyWithaMazda]

"I know everything, Im a BMW owner." 1000% accurate roast.

[@chrislegault5161]

Should of added Part 1 to title . LOL sorry had to. Love the ride

[@ltbullitt35]

"since I'm in here I might as well change......" Infamous last words before the credit card comes out and more parts get ordered

[@ThatOneWagon]

Let’s be honest, we knew this would happen.

Next video all the things the Lexus needs fixed , 30 seconds of Dave adding a Speed Academy air freshener

[@jonasf1275]

Toyota is strong. Lexus somehow manages to ruin it all the time.

[@EAGuy]

This is such a beautifully built M5 touring. The throwing star reps are fantastic on this.

[@billvanderpol]

We got our key coded with a super cheap tool we found on Amazon called AK90+. Really easy to do. Key cutting was done at our local locksmith.

[@qdysseus-]

put the badge on!! The wagon deserves to have the beautiful M5 badge on it

[@R00567]

Props for doing all the normal TLC and maintenance that a lot of people overlook. It's coming out super sweet 👍🏻

[@traingunner]

This has been the best series of a build that I have seen. Keep up the good work guys! The enthusiasm you guys have is contagious!

[@bluegreenish3394]

The more i Watch the more i know who won. The bmw looks Better tho.guys you have become my favorite car channel on yt your builds are so diverse and Achievable for regular guys keep up the good work!! love from Italy!!

[@berto606]

Since you blacked out the other chrome, I would go with the black grille. Just matches better.

[@rowaldwousie5289]

Oh and yes m5 emblem! You put all the hard work into it so show it off!

[@pirkkaruuska5766]

Imho the black kidneys go well with the darkened windowtrim. edit: Cant remember, but did Pete change the cluster to the M5 one?

[@JCDUDECANTU]

Firstly, I love to say that you guys inspire me to build on my euro wagon. I got a Volvo V70 I'm starting to tinker with!

[@Notthetimeforit]

Nice car, those can look amazing when done well.

[@commbubba1990]

Black grill matches the blacked out window trim. If the window trim was chrome the stock grill would match.

[@Michael-pz6oj]

shame you didn't do the timing guides though when the engine was out. that's about the only thing left that could break

[@daedalus_20v]

*will

[@zykarionng6633]

never underestimate the things that can break on a 10+ year old bmw

[@Danielism]

Can we get a compilation of all the times Pete has been torn about Kidney grilles? 😂

[@isokeowon6785]

You should add the M5 badge back on the trunk...people should know

[@joedim]

I agree with you about the wheels... About the rear badge I think you should put it on since it is a proper M5 and not a look M5...many greetings from Greece!

[@marcus3128]

Put the M of the badge upside down so it's a W for 'Wagon'.

[@bestcoastgarage5896]

Pete, you can sand those inner tail lights with 600 grit and clear with a 2k clear. Should take you less than 1-2hr and It’ll look brand new.

[@y.b.-]

🤣🤣 PT got no chill with the direction of the rims LOL

[@TheBBodyBuilder]

Glad it was not truly “broken”...it’s an awesome looking Wagon...I prefer the Black kidney grills over the chrome ones. IMHO the style 65 rims look best...and it needs the M5 badge it adds 7hp.

[@benjamieson5626]

Black grills for the win. Need to put a bit of tint on the BMW badge as it is only bright chrome

[@russ4AGE]

2:35, had to show my wife; we paused the video just to laugh. Great video guys.

[@joannaatkins822]

Keep on keeping on guys! Your aspirational content will always keep us coming back for more. Not many of us can afford to keep a cool car on the road, only a reliable one

[@oisinmcdaid]

Lucky you caught the bracket for the rear bumper. I changed my diffuser on my e46 a while back and broke the bracket. Didn't get a replacement and then lost the diffuser going down a back road at night never to be seen again.

[@andrewward4246]

do the thinner grill but black! perfect solution!

[@SamS-lv1hy]

Nice to see the facelift grills on the car. as far as the key goes I got mine cut by a guy on ebay. I just had to send him a picture of my key and it actually worked. after that I was able to program it to my e39 by myself using an AK90 programmer.

[@asadh4870]

On facelift E39's, the parking light is off when the full lights are on and only omit when the indicators are on. You should look into getting the harness or coding the parking lamps off.

[@carrier7676]

I own an e39 M5, and finding little leaks and ticks that just rub you the wrong way will always happen 😂! Another great video! Thanks guys!

[@johnphillips1751]

There's a seal under the reservoir cap

[@Lilking619able]

Great wagon build with the heart of an m5, definitely earned the m5 badge.

[@oliolioli2010]

Yes to the m5 boot badge. You have done the work. Its close enough to an m5!

[@oswaldlee3437]

Yes to the M5 emblem. Also should line up the bottom of BMW emblems with valve stems on the wheels ;)

[@Tuscani407]

I see those Sparco Terras in the background at 19:30. I have a set sitting in my bedroom right now. 😉❤️

[@lukasgray8955]

The black & silver grilles tie the front end together sooo much better.

[@dennismassey3259]

Your lights are perfect, the whiter light tone looks more modern and the chrome bezel kidney grills look much better than the black ones.

[@weaponizedmemes3461]

I vote yes on the M5 badge.

[@minn12311]

I know you were maybe being sarcastic about it never breaking down on you, but these really are great road trip machines. Everything is so over engineered that you have plenty of warning before a part truly fails to the point of leaving you stranded. I took my 190k mile M5 all across the country and it loved it

[@ef7andapp170]

Nice plate number. Sincerely, from a CRX owner.

[@Lou-f]

Maybe pull the cord off your hoodie before it gets caught on a pully or belt 👍 Car is looking slick !

[@Jaspereyne]

Was looking for this comment.

[@marcop3517]

How about painting the black kidney grilles to match the blue paint. When that looks crap - you can put the chrome ones back in. On a lighter note - your 'Process of elimination' for the temp issue really means 'unloading the parts cannon first'. Even the mightly Lexus has issues sometimes. You maybe happy to know that the thermostat on my own LS430 recently failed too so they're not impervious either...though I didn't change out half the engine components trying to diagnose it :) Great vid as always.

[@rekt_86]

"Pete fixes all the things he didn't want to when the engine was out"

[@zigzagrz]

Watching this while sitting inside my LS430

[@Lightspeed-eo6nw]

With the green house chrome wrapped black, the black kidneys look better, IMO. Are you going to be listing the car somewhere soon?

[@dunnydore2595]

Definitely the inserts with the chrome as it blends in with the chrome on the bmw badge! Also in my opinion I think the m5 badge on the back would look killer as well! Great video again it’s refreshing to see things getting fixed properly 👌

[@GeekyGamer167]

You can get the key cut, but you will need to program it. There is a tool you can buy online that will copy the programming of one key to another, and once that is done you will need to pair it to the car. That's how it works on the E46 at least, so I'd assume it's the same on the E39

[@CarlosRuizisthebest]

Our you could do LED switchbacks on the turn signals. I have those in my car so they are white when running but amber when indicating.

[@endlessbmwprojects6061]

Nice videos!!! Regarding the key, you don't need to re-code it. Just take apart the old one and there should be a tiny little chip (it looks like a black tiny- 3mm or so- squared piece)stuck to the plastic cover (i think in the front part of the key fob where the metal rod meets the plastic). That chip is the one that sends the signal to the steering column that you have the "proper" key and lets the engine crank.

[@dancarlos1216]

I like the chrome grille better with the lights, however the black matches the other trim you blacked out

[@TonysTechAndCars]

I am very surprised you didn't replace that when the engine was out. Put the stock Wheels back on! They are perfect

[@tayk7100]

bmw enthusiast here and imo the chrome ones look better on that car! Agree with the clean look!

[@newton22]

You can remove the EWS and get an AK90 to code the key yourself. I bought a pre-cut key and coded it and works fine

[@cgc1814]

Quick word of advice, if the changes you did don't stop the power steering leak, there is a o-ring gasket that goes under the power steering reservoir cap that needs to be replaced to stop the power steering fluid from seeping out.

[@spazda_mx5]

To be fair to the BMW, most of that stuff was consumables. Pete, the bracket on the PAS resevoir isn't going to wear a hole is it? It looked like it was a bit pointy. Also 100% add the M5 badge, or put a 518i one on.

[@NewtonInDaHouseYo]

1. Facelift chrome kidneys, 2. Original M5 rims, 3. M5 badge on the trunk lid ... of course! Great car by the way!

[@bimmersimon4871]

The cap of the steering fluid reservoir has an o-ring type seal or gasket, which is sealing the cap to the reservoir and that is leaking all the time. Changing them on my BMWs solved the problem always.

[@chanstoncochran]

You can code the keys your self after you’ve had them cut there’s a few forum posts on it about specifically getting the updated keys. We did it for my buddy’s e38 pretty easy process

[@2007dalin]

those idler pulleys can easily just replace the bearings.. 5 dollars for a 6204 or 6203 bearing or two each

[@VS666]

getting OG speed academy vibes from this episode...finding bmw problems and knockin them out

[@magmatoad]

Had this same issue/error on my E46 M3. Ended up being the thermostat; failed wide open. Pretty easy fix.

[@Akitso]

Very nice build. I could be wrong but that age BMWs came with oil caps that have Castrol written on them.

[@aconnjob5456]

Front lip please! They make that front bar look so tuff. Will really finish off the look.

[@tomi2i2000]

I would have said stay chrome but the back actually looks really good, it pulls the whole front end look together.

[@dumbestoyster]

You blacked out the trim, so the grill should match...black

[@Didier1978]

Make sure you have the o-ring on the cap for the power steering

[@xozindustries7451]

I was surprised you didn’t wrap the chrome on the grill when the vinyl guy was there doing the window surround. Also cut the strings off your hoodies if you’re working on equipment or running vehicles

[@popemobile12]

Put the badge on!

[@Napster050]

for key coding (if you still have immo) you need tool called "AK90". Pairing the remote is simple as turning ignition and touching button 3 times. For key cut search locally :)

[@dillonpao2489]

Try the OEM post facelift chrome kidney grills. I think they will definitely grow on you. And if I were you I’d want to wear that M5 badge proudly especially because it’s a wagon. Great build and I am looking forward to more!!😁

[@shanen4965]

The wagon has earned the m5 badge. Do it!

[@koltface]

Absolutely! I was kind of surprised in the last video when I didn't see a badge on it!

[@aaronhall7740]

In black though!

[@zerotohero7449]

This is a major faux pas in the bimmer community

[@ersinalp8121]

I love the look of the wagon!! And usually I’m only into sedans. Great work guys 😍 but in my opinion, it will fit the sporty look with black ceiling in the interior. Anyway very beautiful car! Love from Denmark 🇩🇰

[@vegardulven9515]

Chrome kidneys, and polished lips on the stars would be a good look imo

[@jesterfin123]

Agreed!

[@adam2234]

Such a cool project, nice work guys! I like matching kidney grilles with window trim - if it's chrome/chrome or black/black, just my 2 cents

[@adamdavidson8949]

Chrome grills, throwing stars and the m5 badge would be perfect finish to the car

[@1995naSTA]

The thermostats are a super common failure point. It’s good practice to replace the seal inside the housing too, your old seal was half the reason the new thermostat just slid right in.

[@dakavanagh]

Go stealth, keep them guessing, PT! My LOL moment "The gift that keeps on giving, and by giving, I mean giving me headaches!"

[@keyboard101101]

Gloss Black Kidney grilles!!!

[@spazda_mx5]

@20:15 The film you're thinking of is American Beauty 👍

[@fpb3rd]

Old key is EWS I, new key is EWS III. Might be possible to transfer transponder chips within keys and get the new key cut. Otherwise you would have to modify the wiring to upgrade to the EWS III module, then there would probably be coding, and still have to cut keys

[@elrichmeister]

I actually love the warmer colored Halo's

[@brunoli1717]

The keys are old EWS2 and new one are EWS3. You can programme them at house ,you just need AK90+ box, and some key cut shop. I have mine done with Aliexspress keys, and used replacement ews3 module (old give me no crank) and still working. 😂💪💪

[@lukaszbartoszek910]

I have an autel maxisys ms906BT, it can be used to program keys, I haven’t tried it myself but it’s one of the features. I live off Grays RD not too far from your shop. You guys can borrow it to program the BMW key

[@javemaceda]

Chrome grills where fine when you had the chrome accents on the windows but since you've blacked those out then it makes sense to black out the grills too :)

[@MrSkyline11]

About a key. I recently changed this old one to newer key (kinda from F10 bmw but with folding blade). Guy from aliexpress cutted blade pattern from a picture that I send him. If you want to have old key to be still in use you must code new transponder chip. If you don't care about old key you just can put transponder in new key fob and that will work. If you want to code it by yourself you can buy ak90+ and new id 44 chip PCF7935AA or PCF7930AA will work with ak90+

[@dully3253]

You got me again with the rims😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️

[@deanyarger5901]

Dark kidney grilles go well with the blacking out of the sides. My .02 cents. Nice car for sure though all day long. Enjoy the vids guys.

[@jonathanlong32]

You should put a piece of rubber between the new bracket under the power steering reservoir, it might eventually wear through.

[@kylehurst237]

Sounders light Orangeville should be able to help you with that key.

[@Sauerbrew777]

Dave I'm disappointed you didn't tap a wrench on something metal to freak PT out on his check out start up at19:08!

[@Barfly76]

No pressure testing the system before putting the coolant back in? Such an easy step to confirm the system is fixed. I suspect we will see another thermostat video in the near future.

[@thebeardedstate]

For the key - if it has a built in transponder, get an AK90+ and pull your key lockout under the dash.

[@nataliuspayne9102]

As a long term E39 M5 owner ( 18 years ) I can tell you that the temperature gauge on the M5 is very very sensitive unlike other BMW's. Ask me how I know ? I went through a phase of replacing the thermostat 6 times . The difference between the lower dot and the upper dot seems to be only 10 degrees C . In ALL other BMW's the temperature gauge sits at exactly 12:00 O'clock over a wide range of temperature. . The M5 temperature gauge does move around . As long as its between the dots and above 75 C its fine. What you can do is access the secret menu on the dashboard and call up the water temperature . Thermostat should open at 82 . Thus the temperature should be somewhere in the 77 / 87 range. I would dare suggest if your temperature goes below 75 then there is probably an issue with your thermostat . What I will say is these S62 engines do seem to run cool. You can if you like fit a thermostat that opens at 86 C which seems to do the trick and I haven't replaced a thermostat for 10 years but the gauge still does move around, but as I said its very very sensitive unlike other BMW's who seem to have a damper on their gauges at 12:00 O'clock. Hope it helps.

[@manqkasgarage6215]

Power steering reservoir is also a filter ,you need to replace it,it’s not expensive. And it’s the same as many models either newer or older.
