I agree with you wholeheartedly. I've had my 06 going on 8 years and daily drive it as well. I've found it tends to have less issues the more you drive it. It doesn't like sitting and waiting to be driven. It truly is the ultimate driving machine. SMG FTW!
I have a 2008 BMW 550i 6 speed. Currently turning it into a cs. Sport Bucket seats, removed dynamic drive sway bars, installed h&r sway bars 27mm front 19mm read solids. Bilstein b6 suspension and springs stock height. Power flex bushings. Removed alot of weight. Soon will had a new torsen diff. God willing. New basket seals and valve gaskets
A few years ago these were still too expensive, now they are perfectly priced. Even if u have to spend extra on parts if you can do your own work its worth it.
E60 M5's are like owning a 4 door f1 car that has a beating heart and soul - The howl of that v10 is intoxicating - There will never be another V10 BMW again either - I've had an e36 m3 and e39 m5 and an e60 M5, and my e60 M5 is my favorite, hands down!
Agree with you except that I don’t think you’ll find one with half the miles at $15k with all the maintenance done. I have an 08 with 70k miles and it’s been one of the most reliable BMW i’ve ever owned so far. I do all the maintenance on it and what has cost me is the custom upgrades which are expensive but they are optional obviously 😅
@ I had mine for the last 3 years. I drive it every day and recent work approx 20k. the usual rb, smg, pump, tires etc… over the 3 years; breaks, alternator, horn and few other small things which came to approx 30k over. Gas is approx $2 and I fill it up every second, 3ed day. Oil change is $450 I do it every six months. All Canadian founds. Bought it with 80km now I’m at 110 you do the math. Cheers Ps: theses are old cars and it is almost expected and I have to agree with a comment, the more you drive the better these cars are. Don’t get discouraged it’s an amazing car to drive.
@@TheInfamousProject lol when i had my first leak i went to my local mechanic i was very worried!! he was like "relax dude if it didn't leak your bmw is broken" lol
These cars are problematic. Dont be fooled. I spent 10k in 7000 miles of ownership for an ‘10. These are 14-15 year old cars now. Things breakdown and parts havent been getting cheaper.

Lol so true about driving them! They hate to sit and that's usually when weird codes tend to pop up.
i don’t know man, does it feel fast to you? never driven a car above 300 hp really
I’ve been searching for one for 2 years now and I can’t find one that’s under 20k they’re extremely underrated
Currently working 7 days a week at my sales job so I can move out at 19 and get a e60 m5!
you got a crazy mom too?😭

Everything you said about the E60 M5 is spot on!

D6 baby. Great car and i wouldnt sell mine for love nor money.
Just dumped another 5k in maintenance on mine. And i did it with a smile. Lol
What did you do for maintenance?
In Germany they're around 20-30k! I'm considering buying one in like a year! I'm for sure buying one around 24-28k

As an e36 and e39 owner I get it 💯
I have to agree. It is a Drivers car and worth every penny these days. You'd be hard pressed to find anything remotely close at these prices.
Beutiful car! Do you have any vids on the Alpine white 6speed M5?
The E60 is so cool even in 2024
It's timeless
Agreed with everything you said i own 1 and its so fun and a eye catcher 😉🔥

Hey brotha , love the car , what is the black smoke coming out of the exhaust under heavy acceleration? Thanks in advance.
Unburnt fuel, they run rich
Now the prices are gonna go back because of this video haha
Thinking about getting one with 60k miles for $22k not sure if its a good idea or not or get a different bmw any ideas?
You should estimate $1 per km of driving and not counting gas. Regular maintenance is key. Can’t go wrong with a v10 sound
Per KM! Lol you're saying this car would have seen $342,000 in maintenance at this point!

I just bought one with manual transmission..and i alreay have the m6 with an smg ..would never sale either
Trade you my fbo 2015 535i for it😂 it’s the luxury edition with hella mods
true
It’s only a matter of time before a bmw has a leak
It already leaks man... You embrace it and just keep driving. It's the BMW life

jdm style rims should be illegal on german cars :p
I think the BMW E63 M6 looks better. Same value but the E63 M6 has a sportier look.
Nobody wants that m6 boat
@@LarryTurds yeah it looks very ugly and outdated

At 10k in repairs you could have just bought another one and then had yourself a complete parts car!
It depends on if you do the work or if you have a good mechanic, what did you dump 10k in to fix??
Love that car! I DM’d you on Instagram regarding potential purchasing that car if you are interested!
