I found you from the F10 M5 content, my car has been in a couple of your videos. But, I stayed for all the content because I love BMW. Hurts to see it go but as a business owner myself I understand 100%

[@VehicleVirals]

Your car looks amazing! Thank dude.

[@justfasial01]

@@VehicleVirals You could look into the 550i, the n63tu has a lot of the n63 issues fixed and with xdrive it gives you more traction than the M5. They're very similar engines.

Bro, you love that car. I could see you keeping it and eventually gifting it to your son. Regardless, you always land on your feet with something fresh and spicy for your viewers to consume. You, as always, have my support.

[@SteveWeltman]

Christian, thank you for always being genuine as a creator and as a man in business. I know you love the cars. I believe we all feel it in you passion and how you work so hard to put out different content. My favorite is still your 2009 E90 335i (because I have one too), and its just been a blast to watch as you grew your channel and your business. Sorry to see the M5 go, but also happy to see you making sound business decisions. Cheering for you. Keep up the great work!

[@AerialAries]

Picked up a G87 M2 a couple months ago. I’ve been watching your M2 content. Once I begin making modifications, I’ll make sure to keep you in mind for parts! Great content and honest.

Appreciate you 🙏🏼

@Christian I’ve been following you since your PSI days, with Ali. I’m excited for you, your team, and your channel!

[@Zolani__]

Hey bro I’m looking at getting an f10 m5 myself I’d just like to know what your experience has been with owning one? Would you say it’s reliable?

[@intelligentcarreviews8592]

@@Zolani__ honestly it's costly to maintain and run, I have 176km on the clock and it's been mostly reliable, small things do occur if you live in cold climates like me (Canada) but nothing that will break the bank, injector and brake replacement is mega expensive even in a diy, and the tires go out really fast and they are pricey(i run cup 2 rears 305), but overall it's pretty reliable and won't let you down if you keep on top of things, I had many bmws and the m5 has been so far one of the best.

[@user-qf9ge3sd8j]

I must say those new awd m5 are more safer. Maybe you should get one ‼️ a lot more road friendly and sometimes those thoughts make you crash

Love your channel and I'm also a huge f10 m5 fan I gotta say that yours with the carbon-fiber mods and those sick rims looked completely stunning, such a beauty. But I completely understand your concern and you know in life you need to adapt to move forward for better and in this case you sell that gorgeous car and keep going. Keep it up and now I know what exhaust I'm going to install on my f10 m5 in the near future.

Hey man love the content and appreciate the effort.... I've purchased stuff for my n54 from ya.

Do what's best for your business. And as always really enjoy your videos Christian..... take care bro 💯💯

If your going for a vehicle to merchandise parts for maybe a practical set up like a M suv?

[@KevinFassler]

I have an F10 M5 with 120k miles, zero issues. There's a handful of examples I've seen that have close to 200k on OG motor. Just spoke to somebody the other day with 160k on a frozen individual spec. You'd think they'd be a lot more unreliable but no.

[@lakeshorerides]

Same here, 115k and no issues. Love this car.

[@RAM_C5]

Never changed the rod bearings? I've been back and forth on picking one up, but figured it was safe to throw rod bearings in right after purchase.

[@lakeshorerides]

@@RAM_C5 I've had a few, and zero rod bearing issues. The likelihood of rod bearing failure is very slim, especially if you find a facelift car. The 2011's and some 2012's had oil pump issues, hence rod bearing failure. Get a facelift model with maintenance history (oil changes every 5k or less, 10,000 is excessive for any car). And you'll be trouble free.

I completely understand. My F10 M5 is completely stock and my daily. No plans to mod it, maybe an exhaust in the future. My 360 is my toy.

F10 m5 been my dream car for 3 years and I just turned to an adult hopefully one day i buy it

[@mwells79]

Next car suggestion: -E9x M3 with a ESS supercharger. It's a timeless unicorn. -E92 gen 1 N55. OEM+ budget build give away car. Show us how to shop, maintenance 1st, proper DIY tools, and build reliable power. All in $15k. Maybe do a comparison between have all the money upfront, saving the money based on a $60k yrly income, and using credit for everything. -SUV🤔 . For the people with a family that needs more room than a sedan. -G80, follow the trend. To close to the M2. Banging platform! Been watching you since your sitting in front of your CPU talking about cars that make you look rich. Lol. BIG UPS!!!🎉

love how straightforward this guy is

How about an E82/E88. You already have plenty of options on you site for mods. Maybe tune it up for turning/track use vice pure power.

As someone who started following because Of the frozen m5 this one hurts. I completely understand what you’re saying about the market for parts on these cars. I’ve been saying it for a while.

all the money in selling parts is in n54, n55, and b58 content since we basically don't give a dayum about staying OEM and buy parts like crazy and so many cars are out there compared to something like an f10. That's why there's a TON of builds and content on these platforms. As sad as it to se this car go, but I get it.

[@Junior-yp1el]

Bro imo its just better to get clapped out cars, with issues and bring it back to life instead of getting a special edition car and not be able to do much. I dont know the difference in profit between the two but to me is more entertaining do more in a not very well kept car than do little on a rare car

i think an e39 would be cool. youve had an e46, have an e90, have an e60, have an f30 and youve just had an f10. but an e39 would be something new. either that or a diesel could be cool. like imagine you had an e90 335i but also a 335d too.
