Love seeing project Raleigh going sideways! I'm so happy you enjoyed the car and drove it as it should be driven. Now you can understand my obsession with it. :D

[@heelandtoe_]

Before I didn’t, now I do. Especially when it’s as well maintained as yours!

[@Greaseman762]

I can’t say I have a favorite journey watching Streten go down with each of his cars. Every project has its own character it’s fun and interesting watching both of them get along and also not get along

[@user-jl7nu8ty8m]

You are such an amazing guy!

[@ivandappa]

Sreten can you please share price for bilstein b6? Is it whole kit front+rear? What website you ve ordered it from? I hate to see that butt sitting so low comparing to front.. i got also 6spd, bit problematic car, but im strong believer

[@madmike6942]

let's all agree that Sreten is a legend...

It was around september 2005. I only had my drivers license for a few months, when I saw this Interlagos blue M5 parked on the streets. When I walked to it to take some pictures with my phone, the owner walked up. We talked a little and he invited me to drive along once. We picked a date and he took me for a drive in his car. Ten minutes into the drive he offered me to take the steering wheel. 5mn later I was doing 250 in an e60 M5 of a stranger. The memory of that moment will last forever. What a car

[@themoderncaferacer2264]

What a lovely owner too:D

[@joseffujan3760]

"filmed on a closed road" and seeing an oncoming car, love it 😁😁😁 8:58

[@ericw9373]

I came here just to say that. lol

[@joedaniel8503]

I got to surprisingly drive one at a small dealership. The guy said I could drive it for 30 minutes. It was the best experience of my life. Such an emotional moment. The V10 is amazing.

[@tonybrider]

Amazing car. Wow and a real manual rather than a conversion. You describe it perfectly. The same reason I love the E90 m3.

[@OliverWode]

Well, it's not getting built up from the ground up, by no other but Sreten, as we speak for no reason. And I bet I'm not the only one really looking forward to it with a bright f***** grin.

[@mislavkonjik2827]

​@@OliverWode I have a friend who is now selling an E39 M5. He wants to exchange it for a newer M model. He found E90 m3 prelci from 2008. with manual transmission. He gave up the E60 M5 because it is unreliable. Do you think the E90 m3 would be a good replacement for the E39 M5?

[@wrth]

​@@mislavkonjik2827 if E60 M5 is unreliable, E90 M3 is also unreliable. S65 also suffers from rod bearing failure.

I was hoping you’d make a video on this ever since you posted video’s of it in your IG stories. This car is really everything a car-head dad ever needs. M539 really did an amazing job keeping it’s glory alive while sticking to the roots of the car. I’m jealous! Very nice video Robert. 😌

[@heelandtoe_]

Thanks Yannik! We plan on doing a lap on the ring next year with it, hope to see you there!

[@OliverWode]

@@heelandtoe_ Hopefully with Misha? Once in the right seat for usefull tips on the new tarmac - and once on the left hand side for a proper lap? And maybe one flat out lap in memory of Biene? 🥹

[@heelandtoe_]

@@OliverWode Would be a fun collab! Definitely want to do a E60 tribute lap for the legendary Sabine. One of the main reasons i fell in love with the E60!

[@defnotatroll]

that noise is iconic. reminds me of gran turismo 4 and old top gear

[@EightyFiveHundred]

I remember when Project Raleigh hit m5board, before it made its way to @M539Restorations Great seeing Raleigh living the greatest second life! I’m at 190,000+ miles and going on 13/14 years with my 6 speed Dinan S2 e60 m5. Had all, but the current gen, of the m5s. The m5s that I kept are my 3.8L e28m5 track toy and 6 speed e60m5. e60 is running a full Motorsport MCS 2Way suspension, custom 3.91 multiclutch diff, LTW Dinan wheels, and LTW BBK, and full bespoke Ti exhaust from Einhorn Industries. Basically built the “CS” BMW was too afraid to build with the e60. So much fun, going on track with 3 pedals, 4 doors, and a baby seat running down fast cars with slow drivers. 😂😂 The v10 is only a money pit if you have no money for proper maintenance. Lots of broke “ballers on beer budgets” picked up s85s that were unable to stay ahead of maintenance and sold them off to the next unsuspected owner with a mountain of deferred maintenance. How many high revving v10s from VAG Group can last to 100,000 miles and beyond without maintenance?

[@MrDodobmw]

Fantastic driving. Fantastic owner. Fantastic car. Fantastic video. Thank you

[@fran20055]

You have great presence and also well spoken. Do more car reviews like these, you gonna go big brother!!!

[@shrkys4]

it's an amazing car, I think about my old one every day! Every experience on a new car is compared to the E60 M5 as a watermark for awesomeness

[@TougeTouring]

Love the collab, cant wait for whats more to come ❤

[@ralfszemzars1885]

S65 & S85, best engines ever - change my mind.

[@dwighteickmeier4961]

Rod and main bearings 1/2 the size of the S62. Most fragile POS engines BMW ever made. YW

[@Biggus_Dickus_69]

​@@dwighteickmeier4961 I've put over 50K miles on mine and drive mine like I stole it. 3K oil intervals and no expense spared thanks to my BMW warranty. Not a car for brokies, in a different league of awesome compared with any other engine BMW has ever made.

[@dwighteickmeier4961]

@@Biggus_Dickus_69 I've got 355K miles on my S62 in my E39 M5! I had daily driven it for over a decade in Canadian weather, including winter. It has had a full restoration now, and all rust/corrosion repaired. Did I mention that the engine has never been touched? Or the trans? Or the rear end? Sometimes starting in -40C in the northern regions! The S62 is like the honey badger - it doesn't give a fuck! As I said previously - the bearings on your V10 are tiny and if extreme care isn't taken to warm up that beast it will go boom. I know of MANY V10s that have spun bearings. All below 100K miles. Some below 20K miles. Careful with your pretty pet!

[@Biggus_Dickus_69]

@dwighteickmeier4961 That's awesome and I totally agree, in the back of my mind I know that one day a rod may go and fuck the engine but I haven't replaced it myself (cheap £1K job) because BMW warranty will give me a brand new engine if it ever goes bad. I love the E39 M5 I used to own one myself but V10 is V10 man, best engine ever made by BMW and reliability isn't a concern for me which is the only criticism of the S85...I'm on nearly 85K miles now and it's been an amazing experience. I find the V10 in my Lamborghini Huracan isn't as exciting that's how good the E60 is!

[@dwighteickmeier4961]

@@Biggus_Dickus_69 Cool man! I love the V10 in my R8 - pulls and pulls and pulls - but I know what you mean. The engine has great torque down low and pulls all the way to 8700 rpm, but it is VERY linear. The S62 builds to a crescendo at 7000 rpm - just feels like it gets angrier as the rpms rise - like my 997.2 GT3 - RACE CAR ENGINE! It's so hard to have an engine deliver reasonable torque down low, yet pull like an angry pit bull eyeing a ribeye steak to redline WITHOUT being a flat plane crank engine. I LOVE the engineering that goes into the average BMW product - God bless those Germans!

[@MrBulletpoint]

What a cool video. Thanks for sharing. and I completely agree with you about the understatedness of the E60. What an era.

[@damirkvajo]

Nice driving. I'd like to give you just one suggestion for future videos. Don't know which camera you use, but that autofocus although very quick it is very distracting because it is not precise enough. You should consider something like sony rx100 or canon g7x, very light, great lens and perfect autofocus. Cheers

[@MDjango]

Yeah. Waited for this video. Thank you

[@anpredictable]

Best mass production bmw engine hands down

[@myflourishingfam]

Great review, and an excellent example of classic era BMW.

[@kehrin]

Good job on those flybys. Sound incredible!

[@Biggus_Dickus_69]

The E60 M5 feels so special to drive, I have owned and driven every M5 and pretty much every M car and along with the E92 M3 I also feel it's the pinnacle of BMW M. I have since moved over to Lamborghini and beyond in love with my Huracan but the BMW V10 sounds next level despite a lower redline (8250 vs 8500). My M5 has a custom exhaust with genuine rear section+carbon tips from Akrapovic (they never made a system for the M5, just the M6), Eventuri carbon intakes and a Eventuri full carbon plenum and it just sounds fantastic. Fully loaded with the cooling/heated/auto-bolstered seats, extended leather everwhere ie dashboard, doors etc, alcantara roof, E92 style bonnet, LCI lights, carbon bits everywhere including a full carbon CSL boot from seibon and despite owning it for 7 years and putting over 50K miles on it, still has a BMW warranty on it! It truly defines the word 'legend', I'll never sell it and there'sa reason despite all the BMW M cars I've had this is the only one I'm keeping for life. As Jeremy Clarkson said - "it's the best car I've ever driven". 🙌

Great video & amazing car! I never know what’s most impressive about the car - The rawness and sound of the engine, how it goes (thanks to the short gearing) or the balance of the chassis. But it is also true that you need to own a petrol station and a workshop to run this thing 😂

As soon as Sreten gives her a full repaint and detail it'll be one of the most sought after manual E60 M5's in Europe. The E92'S gonna be a bit naughty aswell when it's finished. However......I reeeeeeeally want Sret to finish Project Marseille. 🙏
