Top Gear - BMW E60 5-series review By James May

James May drives the 2003 E60 5-series.

[@jamesbmwgarage]

E60s have aged well! They look so good now.

[@kamilkierski7971]

Love my msport Lci still looks very modern

[@johngregg401]

I have 2 E60s and love looking at both of them. They were the last time bmw were bold and it still shows up some newer cars

[@paspan188]

I know I love my 06 m5 looks so classy now

[@reza_dc2]

That they do , I have the 04 530i sport , 6 spd manual trans. Black on black.. Owned it since 2006. It's crazy that james may is reviewing this car , I actually had a chance to meet and take a selfie with him at wembley stadium , what a trip..

[@goatsummoner]

Totally. I loved my partners E60 and will definitely get one myself at some point.

[@mahammedetawil208]

the design was ahead of its time 🙂

[@Rufus77]

Anyone who says that this car is ugly, has no eyes. Compared to older and BMW's this still looks quite modern.

[@longtailgt]

I love James May's films from these early days! He gets to the point without any distractions and without being boring.

[@TheHertzWeb]

I bought an E60 last year, it's beautiful, I love it. Amazing how those looks have led some people to think it's a current model

[@suli687]

current model? its almost a 20 year old car!!

[@jeeperscreepers786]

The best looking kidney grills on any of the models and the angel eyes with eyebrows, it's just awesome looking!

[@MrChewymentos]

i think the head lights are easily the best ever... the kidneys i would still have to give the gold to E39 M5 or really any version (but the M5 had the chrome accents)

[@anapoljak246]

So ahead of it's time.

[@nareshnundlall1557]

seems to blend in with all the new cars now - James was right

[@adams7405]

Bagged a 1 owner 2006 530i for 5k with 90,000 miles which is pretty good with today's insane prices.Looks good with the bigger wheels,they don't rust and the engine is a gem.Plenty of parts on e bay and such to make it last forever.

[@a7a416]

You're one lucky man

[@sameh2150]

I would not do ebay parts. E60 use only oe parts the car will last forever.

[@Crypto82738]

Jeremy , get your glasses checked.. The E60 is the best looking car out of those three. Clown...

[@user-pi5nx8go8f]

E60 one of the most beautiful cars ever created, period.

[@ivanbliminse5350]

My 08 535xi is my favorite car ever. It drives fantastic. The n54 can handle tons of power. Things are just still pretty expensive to maintain

[@PancakeProduct]

Mine was a '10 528i with the N52 🤎

[@user-pi5nx8go8f]

You're lucky I have 530i but it's fairly weak compared to n54 turbo torque

[@ivanbliminse5350]

@@user-pi5nx8go8f yeah not the platform for me. My NA of choice is an m54b30. E46 is a blast

BMW were very clever or should i say chris bangle was when designing this because now the fuss has died down about the looks( ive always liked it by the way) it just doesnt look dated in any way even now.

[@rscosworthfan]

@@harmosm1084 yes under the directorship of chris bangle either way its still a brilliant design

[@Crypto82738]

@@harmosm1084 Yes because Arcangeli passed away from leukemia

[@egwuogusmarth.c4949]

Bangle was the team design leader, but davide arcangeli and boye boyker were the people that pen down the design

[@cerberus276gaming6]

Now the bmw looks perfectly placed and the jag just doesn't fit in anywhere

Can't tell the difference between active steering vs normal?? Yes they feel the same at speed, but when parking the active steering is very helpful and impressive.

[@alialmasi4044]

which episode?

[@kappa2356]

May's was ahead at the time and see the truth..now is a realy good designed car that dont sems old and looking good to much more people

[@OkulSmoK]

20 years on, G60 is yet another controversial generation. But I like it.

Who knows that 80s song that's jamming?

[@sageen]

Hated it, looked like shit. Now I own a e61 LCI 530D and its such a beauty. How did this happen? Torque sucked me in😅 And yes its breaking apart, central lock, back Window whiper, back window heater, front springs popping. But still love it❤ stupid space metallic beauty

[@user-sf7kl9uh7k]

The base stereo was unforgivable shit.

[@aamikkalinin6385]

It's like a hot woman in car body

[@steved707]

Before the e60 it was UGLY , the e60 grows old with style .

[@galil_6863]

I've ways loved the styling of this car. The reliability... not so much

[@vanishlite]

BMW ugly? ... Of course not! The opossite, i'ts very beautiful!

[@Coa_Kralj_Coa_The_King]

i’m not some delusional bmw fan, but, this model is just…. The best one!!! The evil one!!! Belgrade criminals car!!!😅

[@leenevin8451]

E39 is better looking but looks ancient now

[@isaachunt7107]

I own an E60 & an S type Jag & I'm selling the Beemer as the Jag is a much better car. The i drive is better than the Jag's computer, but fitting a Tesla tab more than compensates for that. Just my opinion of course
