The Rewarding First Drive - Cheap V10 BMW E60 M5 6-speed - Project Raleigh: Part 5

After a year in my ownership, lots of effort and money, we finally hit the Autobahn in the E60 M5. From a broken, neglected turd to a high-speed Autobahn rocket! Project Raleigh goes through TUV inspection in this episode and gets German license plates. Headphone users, please adjust your volume accordingly!

This channel feels original in the sea of KZbin VPN advertisements, Manscaping products, empty daily vlogs, and screen protector ads. It's actual hands-on automotive content not advertising the newest fad. Skill at work, a discernible skill with results vs running a clickbait marketing machine for money and views. I like it, I wish more would stay like this or go back to this type of content.

[@QuickQuips]

Liqui moly as a sponsor is not that bad because that stuff actually goes in the car he is working on. But all thr sponsors that have zero to do with the cars feels so desperate and cheap to me.

Keep it up with the BMW's, your videos keep me motivated with my old german crap called 1980's Opels :P

@@QuickQuips Sounds like you'd enjoy Aaron Cake then. His current project is a 1976 Mazda RX-5 Cosmo which is being given an impressive overhaul with some fantastic DIY ranging from a Megasquirt MS3-Pro install, fabricating circuit boards for all sorts of sorcery, all the way up to a Jedi-inspired power lock system and E90 BMW 3-series seats.

As a Dutchman, living 15 Km from the German border, I can drive 100 Km/H during the day and 130 Km/H during the night. And speeding ticket prices are INSANE over here! Thankfully Germany is so close to me ... I like Germany for a multitude of reasons, legal Autobahn speeds being only one of them. Schönes Wochenende!

[@houseofno]

Congratulations on being one of a handful of people on the planet known to have successfully serviced the S85 V10 rod bearings. Too often we hear about these engines self destructing due to this known flaw in the S85's. Even the Car Ninja, Jonny, a very skilled BMW specialist wasn't able to successfully repair JRGO's S85-powered M6. Huge props to getting this car back on the road. I still long for more E32 content, or even some work on the E21 3 series.

[@xedasxedas]

Yeah. Jonhny is great but still things didn't went his way. This channel is like no other and having the autoban is just a german thing.

[@gplusgplus2286]

How difficult was it to follow instructions?

[@chriskeiser5809]

It’s a slightly different situation with JR’s M6. That one already had bearing failure, so surfaces were probably already damaged. This one was done preventatively so presumably the crank and rods were still in good shape.

[@CH-pv2rz]

You don’t know what you are talking about... There are quite a few shops that can easily do the rod bearings on the e85 just as long as it hasn't slipped a bearing yet because the owner waited to long to service it

[@gregh7457]

​@@chriskeiser5809 in that video they said the crank wasn't damaged. the reason they scrapped the car was because of the vanos pump he said. he also suspected the cam bearings being eaten by all the metal floating around in the engine.

RIP little buddy at 40:44. Great video, like always! :)

[@panaceiasuberes6464]

This is a 2 million views video right here... so much enthusiasm and passion.

[@emiliomm2479]

30:50 I've got an e39 525tds and it has an original sticker in the manual gearbox that says "ATF only", so its not a weird thing!

[@macman6107]

Oh that sound. That beautiful sound! 🔋😍

[@miguelnascimento4647]

Wonderful sound.. In my opinion, the best M5 ever.. V10... No more words.

[@Martian2889]

I don't think i will ever get a chance to lay my hands on BMW, but as a simple man I find these your videos very good and pleasing whenever you fix something i can feel that achievement god bless that developer who has built this youtube algo which recommended me your video... Keep up the good work man !!!!!! Lots of love from INDIA

[@teyshanwickramasinghe5045]

I love this man!!!! I myself own a e60, not an M5, but everything he said about the car are facts. Love the content, keep it up sir.

[@CTS-V]

07:19 that's how you spot a proper auto enthusiast. I was sharing your joy too, it passed it passed wohoo! :P

[@jimconway3301]

I love the test drives. Not so much as a scrap of paper. The towns and the Autobahn are spotless. In the US you see trash everywhere.

[@1972juankarlos]

It rawrs like an animal... love that V10... great video, like always

It will do 330 if you dont have limiter :P , check with GPS because even you did 300 you might be going 280 and hitting limiter - cluster lies. I did 330 but my was chiptunned for some extra saus ;)

The sounds and looks of car😍😍 favourite M5 and KING OF M5 line up is E60 M5

[@petripaavola819]

This car is just perfect. I'm so happy you got and repaired it to it's former glory. When are you planning to visit Nordschleife with this?

[@NICK-uy3nl]

That V10 engine block does have a casting for oil dip stick, you just have to find it and install the dip stick

[@brucehauser6826]

I had this done about 3 weeks after buying mine, after reading how unreliable the idrive readout was,and discovering for myself the comments are true, it voided my warranty according to the supplying dealer thankfully my local dealer who still services it to this day thought it a wise mod even if they wouldn't officially advise it being done, yet still honoured the warranty.

[@NICK-uy3nl]

It shouldn't void your warranty since you are not modifying the engine, just adding an accessory. Did you keep your iDrive oil level sensor as well

[@brucehauser6826]

@@NICK-uy3nl I'd concur, but in my experience, BMW - and other "premium" marques are rather good at getting out of warranty claims, especially if you have "modified" the car, never mind the obvious fact it should have been there from the start... :D

[@comeberza]

The idling and first rpm are a touch agricultural but from that until redline, the car is a dream. What a machine. Long live autobahn!!

[@trussedmetal7536]

As someone who has to conform to a 100kph speed limit and has a Porsche 928 at my disposal, I envy Germany so much. The land of the speed freak as they say.
