This was my day with the 2007 bmw E60 550i. I've never taken my 2007 BMW E60 550i MSPORT to enjoy the twisties but today i did and it was clear to see why i loved this 2007 BMW E60 550I so much. I can see why every journalist would choose the manual BMW E60 550i when comparing the the others in this segment. it was a celebration of having this car for 8 years and I'm still loving this 2007 BMW E60 550I MSPORT like the first day that I bought it.
So refreshing to see the respect and enthusiasm you feel when you truly connect as man and machine! Enjoy and keep enjoying for many years to come!
Jag Plaha i sure will. Do share the show with others.
Great comment ☝🏼
Congratulations on your anniversary with your car .
Just bought my 08 550i 6 Speed Manual Transmission….And I’m so in love with my car that I can’t wait to wake up and drive it….This machine comes with all that a man need in his car…Luxury, Power, speed & dynamic handling. This car is a beast.
That's awesome awesome. That's the name I gave to mine . Beast . Love this shit .
Love that your enjoying it and keeping it. This is the same level of enthusiasm I have for my 07 Cadillac CTS-V.
Manual trans, RWD, 400+ HP V8, 4 doors, space for family, ease of maintenance (wish I could say the same for E60's) and loads and loads of fun in all roads.
Ha ha ha . That's freaking awesome mate. That's a torque monster u have there .😀😀😀.
Dude!!!!!! This is me!!!!!! I have a 2008 Arctic White with cream interior 550I M Sport Auto. It has Dynamic Drive and Active Steering. Talk about a nice looking car and a superb handling car. Wow!! Glad I found this. I will definitely subscribe to this channel. I enjoyed the vid. Would love to see any maintenance vids. I just did front brake rotors and pads. The power is what impresses me every time I drive. Awesome car. Thx
abcfisher1. The 550 has been great. No issues to fix but I'm glad that you've enjoyed the show. I totally enjoy bringing it for you guys.
Dude, you’re awesome! Love your enthusiasm.... ‘heellll noooo, I’ll never sell it!’ ahahaha you’re the best :)

Richard Cepeda aaww man. Sorry to hear that but its good that you're above 6 foot. You can always get another. I love mine. I refuse to sel this car. 💓💓💓💓
Richard Cepeda i just totaled mine the other day as well 😕
Y'all are nuts. I'll baby this gem
Damn that sucks brother!! What happened! Reckless driving? And a car you can replace your life you can’t glad that BMW kept you alive in the crash!!
Nice video bud i have a white 2008 bmw 550i M Ac Schnitzer ACS5 owned since new dealer serviced aswell . These cars were way ahead of there time almost 10 years later I still turn heads and get compliments all the time!! Open her up more often there is a reason the have no speed limits in Germany where these cars were built lol
crazystang69 s i have to totally agree with you. Same thing happens to me. I literally just finish washing her. DAME. This car is fine fine fine. Love this thing.
This is the best e60 to have hands down. Your still getting a powerful and loud engine. Without any worries from the glorious sounding yet, shitty (if were being honest with ourselves) v10.
You're right Jaion😃😃. This E60 is soo darn good
It was the 550's first time and I'm sure it's not going to be the last. See you guys in the next show
Sweet man!! Can't tell you how much I enjoyed your video just got a 2014 BMW 550i m sport turbo chargered black color

soul light i thought it was a E60 550. But that's the F10. That car is fast as hell yes. 445HP with 480 FT. I have the grandcoupe with the same motor. Fast fast fast.
Man I own a 2008 550i 6 speed also and I feel the same happiness every time I start her up
That's what I'm talking about Anthony . This car has a way of just making you love it. How long did you have it??😄😄😄
@@letsrollout7307 I had it a year now, bought it from a friend who had it for a long time and Honestly watching this review made me buy it
@@tonyhallakabajan2jzmk3 ha ha ha . Really? Wow . I'm so honored to have helped Anthony. I just try to keep it real with my show. I'm glad you get to live it too man . Thanks for the smile. U made my night man .. stay safe 🙂🙂🙂👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Recently purchased a manual 08 550i was an admirer from the first time I seen it pull into Russell where I worked. Me and the owner spoked often about the E60 and 8 years later I found a steal of deal on this beauty. I am definitely not disappointed amazing car. Best NA rwd sedan in manual on the market.
Well I must congratulate you YB. Welcome to the club and the BMW life. 🤗🤗👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I've had my 07 550i manual for 6yrs now n ill never sell her. I'm going to be buried in it.
No lies, I've spent a small fortune in maintenance n repairs but I know her like the back of my hand. After I do my valve stem seals she'll be 100%
I'm up to about 50k in ownership costs including the 23k purchase price. Wouldn't change anything. She runs like a champ at 135k miles. Had her since 43k miles. She's lowered, powdercoated stock rims, intake.
After the seals, I'm doing headers, upgrade the head unit to android and throw some sticky rubber on her n a lip trunk spoiler n she's done.
A note to future owners. You need to have money to own this. At least knowledge going in that its going to run ur pockets. its no e60 m5 maintenance costs but it's close lol. But it's worth every penny. It really is a perfect balance of a machine.
50/50 weight distribution, aluminum up front, steel in the rear.
Rear wheel drive
Manual
V8
3800lbs
360hp/360tq
Hydraulic steering and brakes
What's not to love? It has aged wonderfully, feels amazing, and gives a rewarding driving experience. It's not perfect, far from it, but it brings a smile to my face every time I see her so there's no price on that.
As u know. Tc fellow e60er
A man after my own heart . I love it. 🤗🤗🙂🙂👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾. Thanks for sharing your awesome story . BMW makes believers out of u . 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@letsrollout7307 exactly. The funny part is when I first saw this car I said no because it was a "bmw" and I didn't want the stigma attached to me with owning one.
It was between this and a first gen maroon ctsv. I had to be talked into getting this. Glad I did because it was the best car decision I ever made.
I'm now a bmw fan. Not a fanboy but I'll definitely recommend them. I just made a 2900mile journey to seattle in my 07 550 and it made it without 1 hiccup. Thats how much I trust her. The Germans know how to engineer a car man. It was a perfect car for the trip. Destroyed gas in the mountains but who wouldn't lol
@@dingonaut1794 ha ha ha . I've driven mine from Toronto Canada to New York many times too and love love love the dame thing. We speaking the same language . Lol 👊🏾
I owned an 07 E60 550i 6 spd manual for 12 yrs. It was an awesome ride. I sold it with 207K on the clock. It was not an inexpensive car, but it was an immensely satisfying ride. I sold it to get into an E39 M5.....which is the greatest car BMW ever built.
Normally I would say you're crazy to get out of the 550i but when it's for a E39 M5 then he'll to the yes . That's the best car bar non from BMW. Lol. Great great buy mate . 😁😁😁👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Loved your video.I have the exact same car except mine has beige interior and is a 2010. Also I have lowering springs and wheels are spaced out a bit. Love the way it sits and handles. What I haven't done yet is turn off traction control and try a burnout. You're tempting me.
Mark Toliver well i don't do that because loosing control is something that can happen easily after that. What is amazing fun though is taking it off in the snow in a safe place. I.E. empty parking lot. Do it. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I just brought my first 550i and I am loving it, never will I sale this car.
Ha ha ha. This car my my my😀😀👏👏 it's cool to see you've just bought this car and you already know that you wouldn't sell it. I feel the same. I will never do it too. LOVE LOVE this thing💕💕💕 is yours a manual as well Kenneth???😀😀
I can't believe it took you 8 years to fully enjoy the dynamic drive system. Such a beautiful system that I wouldn't want to drive a car without it. I've gotten too accustomed to that flat feeling. I may just buy a second e60😂
It didn't take me 8 years Junaid . 🤣🤣🤣. I've been in love with her from the start . It will be 11years soon and that love affair still lives on.🥳😍😍🥰🥰🥰😊😊. This girl called the E60 hmmm she's so so so darn good I tell ya . She's a sexy mother whaaàaa.😃😃😃😊😊😀😀😆😆😆. Thanks for the comment Junaid. Loved it

I have the same think in carbon black manual aswell, love this thing. Got my Escalade at the same time and this outlived it by far. The valve seals job was a mess tho.
Oh so you went through the valve seal replacement too huh. That sucks most of BMW's V8 have the same problem. Thanks for sharing though Dom. 😁😁😁. Appreciate that 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I am looking into one of these but wasn't really sure if it was worth the trip to go see it. After watching your video I am 100% confident it is worth the trip to go see! Thanks!
youtoobe169. Absolutely go see it. This car is amazing and if it's a manual. You'll love it. Find a back road and if its good machanically. You fall in love. Trust me on that. What i would say is get a tech to check it out for your piece of mine. 👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the feedback!
youtoobe169. Please come back and let us know how it was. In our community here on LET'S ROLL OUT we learn from each others so that would be awesome👏👏👏👏

Nice brother I just bought a 08 BMW 550i carbon black on black M-sport SMG. Such a great car. It was 75,0000$ new as it has all the options (heated seats/steering wheel/sport seats, m sport) and I just did the valley pan gasket and heater hose bc it was leaking coolant. I got it for 6200$ And it has a trans with 50k that is just put in. Such a great car

We both had to tackle the expensive valve seals job... I'm going on 4 years with mine. Also bought from dealership.

I had a 2008 550i m sport, i loved that car a lot its what got me into bmw. Now I have 2010 m5 which is a 550i on steroids lol.
BOKA THE SMOKA. The sound on your car. The M5. OMG is simply the best best best. Notin sounds like it. I want to feature one on my show. Manual though. Please tell me yours is a stick. Available after 2007. How is it??? BoKa????

Funny thing is I still prefer the v8 rumble my 550i was straight piped, the v10 is high pitched and raspy at times but is very exotic. To answer your question mine is an SMG, I didn't want the manual to be honest. I think the only benefit to the manual version is its valued more and has less issues. My car is a 2010 which is the last production year so it has much less issues than the early models. Other than that the SMG out performs the manual, its faster and much more brutal the bad part about SMG is city and traffic driving. My 550i was a perfect daily driver the my m5 is just a weekend warrior, just to have some fun on the weekends. But comparing to the 550i the m5 is a completely new level, sometimes its scary to drive, I am still getting used to 507 horsepower :)
BOKA THE SMOKA. i sure want some of your fun. Well that's goid to hear your experience with it. Viewers sometime learn from the comments. Thank you. Where are you reaching out to us from if i may ask???
I have a 2006 550i, it has a LOT of leaks, but I feel like it’s a great car. A recommendation to better your experience...take the muffler off, but keep the resonator, MAN it gives you a nice deep tone, it sounds mean as hell.
TONYROCKZ818. thanks tony. Glad you took the time to share your experience. I don't like to mess with a great thing and this 550 has been amazing to me. The sound is toned down but i sure don't mind it. Join our community and continue to share this love for car that we all share.
LET'S ROLL OUT Small update: the alternator bracket gasket and the valve cover gaskets were leaking, after I fixed the valve cover gaskets, thus sealing more pressure, the alternator bracket gasket completely gave out due to this spilling out ALL my oil on the ground, it was pretty scary because you can’t tell where the oil is from. If your car has more than 100,000 miles on it I recommend changing that part immediately, mainly ALL 550i’s end up with that major issue. It’s a $5 part. Luckily the 550i’s actually have an oil cooler so that part isn’t useless lol, every other model I’m the e60 has it as an auxiliary option...which means it’s useless. Hope this helps you out in the future and doesn’t cause as much anxiety as it did to Me. If your 550i ever leaks, the most common leaks are 1) valve cover gaskets, or 2) the stupid alternator bracket gasket.
TONYROCKZ818 funny tobhear that becausevi just had to fix that very same issue. Thx for sharing. This is great for our viewers around the world. Muxh appreciated. 👏👏👏👏

Have you had the valve seals problem ?
@@amonero1 Yes, had a mechanic change them. $2500. looked long and hard for that price. still have and love the car. currently 245k miles with no issues.
I think these are at the bottom of their depreciation curve now, i'm getting tempted to pick up a nice dark blue M-sport. This video didnt help talk me out of it :D
Hey Das 🤣🤣🤣. How's it going buddy??? This video is only meant to show you the love I have for this car. Has it changed in 12 years ??? Hell no it hasn't changed . Get one my friend . The 550i is just freaking sick. 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾🤩🤩🤩🤩
@@letsrollout7307 Is cool to see how much you enjoy the car, glad you still have it! I have a Skyline 350GT (G35) at the moment, and it's decent, but it doesn't have much soul. And i'd like to have at least one V8 before they become illegal!
Just wondering, what grade of fuel do you use?
@@dasstig5274 I only use the high grade fuel. Keeps her floating nice
@@dasstig5274 V8s won’t be illegal (old ones, I mean they will stop producing them), BUT the ones left will become more expensive. All manner of sport sedans should appreciate sharply, especially V8 ones. I’m glad I started collecting them over the past few years.
BTW I have a G35 (my second- lost the first to floods in Ida), and it’s got plenty of soul! Treat her well, she’s a gem. Infinitis just aren’t as refined as BMWs and don’t have quite as high a handling limit, though they are as good as it gets from Japan.
I recently bought an E60 530i after being so impressed with my E90
330i and the N52 motor. Both are RWD sports. I love them and will never get rid of them! Oh my god the handling with Dynamic Drive… I actually think the 5 is the better handling of the two! 😮 So given that no N52 powered E60s were ordered with the awesome Logic 7/HD Pro audio system, and my desire to own some V8s before they’re all suddenly worth $100k, I’m looking to pick up a 550i by mid-decade.😊 You’re right- they’re bottomed out on depreciation right now. In fact, they are priced the same as E60 530/528/535is and E90 330/335is! 😮 it must be because people are afreajd of the maintenance with the valve stem seals and coolant pipe being a few grand a piece. But still not as wallet-crushing as the N54. 😂
@@jaymum23 I ended up swapping the 350gt/G35 out for an n55 m135i.
A V8 would have been nice to listen to, but the smaller 1 series handles really nicely while still being really smooth and comfortable. Honestly pretty happy with it and don't regret not going for the bigger car, and non-v8 fuel consumption is a plus for daily driving.
Wow, I wanted to do similar video for my 2006 550ia as will. My car comes with Dynamic drive, HUD, Cool and heated seats. I also made a lot of changes to such as retrofitted a true M5 steering wheel with working paddles, sport button, USB MP3 playing, Bluetooth audio streaming, all soft close doors, M-sport body kits. I would love to share the more one day...

thanks mate. 😀😀👍👍👍
Hello again! I did end up buying the one I looked at. Thanks again for your video! I had a couple questions for you. First off, do you know what caused the valve stem issue on yours? Was it ever overheated? The one I bought has 110K miles on it and never had that issue nor burned any oil. I even let it idle for about 5 minutes and then punched it to see if it smoked, and it did not. The other question is, do you ever hear a very minor "tink" noise from the rear at low speeds? Mine has Dynamic Drive and M Sport with 6 speed. Oh yeah, did you ever have to seal the engine oil leaks and coolant leaks? Mine needed that done, but prior owner paid over $6000 to have it all done around 85K miles.
youtoobe169. The exhaust valve seals is a common issue with the 4.8 V8 mine didn't happen untill about 200.000 km. Do the conversion to miles. This only coolant leak I've ever had is from a pin hole in one if my hoses and no I've never experience any unusual noise coming from the back. Your car is an automatic I'm gathering if you have different drive modes.
No, mine is a 6 speed manual like yours, but has the active suspension that runs off the power steering fluid. Interesting you've never had to deal with all the gasket leaks though, as I have heard that they all leak. The guy who I bought mine from said that he could not see the oil hitting the ground because the plastic cover caught all of it. He also had the expansion tank and some coolant tube replaced as well. I am somewhat fascinated that you have not had these issues with yours, and that mine has never had the valve stem seals issue. Mine had oil changes about every 21,000 km.
youtoobe169. Well I'm glad i didn't as well and not every car will experience the same issues. I guess i lucked out well. I've taken care if ma car well.
It's a car that you simply have to drive to fully appreciate! I've never felt a more engaging car in my life!
youtoobe169. I do drive alot of car but i can tell you this. For what you pay , there's nothing else out there that does it as well as a bmw. I still can see myself changing from them. Reach out to us via facebook. This way u can get to us directly. @ Elton Felix
Awesome man I’m about buy one like this!! Cat wait to get it😁😁
Hey Ralda. What up what's up.😁😁😁👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾. It's an amazing car. I still can't ever see ma self selling this one yet. She's so easy to love ma friend easy easy does it.
LET'S ROLL OUT awesome bro I will subscribe to your channel so nice!! If you like car detailing videos do the same on my channel subscribe bro take care👍🏼👍🏼
@@RaldasDetails 😉😉👍🏾👍🏾😁😁
Seems all of us detailers love the same car. I just bought one ralda a 2008 BMW 550i
"The only problem has been the valve seals". 4,000 bucks to replace 40 dollars worth of plastic! I have a 2009 550i m and i love it too but it is a black pit of money unless you like fixing it (like i do). Keep an eye on the overflow coolant hose coming off the engine into your coolant resevoir, i just replaced that (i made a better hose from brass fittings for 3 bucks rather than buy the OEM BMW one for 99 bucks with the plastic one that broke...). Also the Vanos Solenoids just replaced (weeks of wondering WTF was up with the panic lights and limp mode finally solved). I love this car but it was designed to fail in many places... stay outta trouble my man.
also straight piped mine--sounds SO much better and not loud just growwwwwwllllly
@@berniecratpdxftrump5003 ooh really. The sound is nice??? Thanks for the tips pappi🙂🙂🙂🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾. I just replaced my water pump this pass week. I love working on cars man so if it breaks then I'll get more pleasure fixing it. When you love something if it breaks it's not a pain . At least not for me🤗🤗😊😊. It's the longest that I've ever kept a car and it's still like day 1 for me love love love this tin🤣🤣🤣🤣🤛🏾🤛🏾🤛🏾.
Damn boy you love that car 😅
You got that right big body. The love affair still goes on to this day . She's a sexy mother waaaaaa. Ha ha ha 😄😄👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Leaking exhaust valve seals are just a side effect of worn valve stem guides and replacing them seals is not going to last long anyway. Get prepared for engine rebuild.
Hmmm. I sure hope not. Are you a tech or an owner as well Nils?????
@@letsrollout7307 I have 545i, basically the same engine, some minor differences, but the valvetrain is exactly the same. And there is a problem with that Valvetronic design - it slightly rocks the valves back and forth while pushing on them and that is causing the valve guides to wear out prematurely. At at that point valve stem seals are no longer soft and elastic and as consequence these seals are no longer tightly gripping around the valve stems leaving gaps where oil can seep out. The story you usually hear about N62 engines that valve stem seals get very hard because of higher engine temperatures and start to leak is not true, they become hard on other engines as well but somehow do not leak in such a massive way as on N62 engines. Replacing the valve stem seals is helping to get rid of burning oil because the seals are soft and elastic and can follow the valve stem as it rocks back and forth but that is not fixing the actual problem. I have done seal replacement myself and this is how I know, I paid attention to how loose the valves felt and then did some research. It is a grear car I like it alot but if you want to enjoy it for many years to come in a quality way you will need to rebuild it. Thats what I am doing.
@@NilsJakobson oooh wow. I absolutely didn't know that. I thank you so much Nils. Appreciate that alot. This is why i love interacting with our viewers. We learn from each other. How long after you did the seals where u got the leak problem again Nils????
Thanks to you, I'm the proud owner of a 2008 550i M Sport. I previously had a 645i, and was missing the V-8. I know how to service the V-8, it's good therapy.
I was on the fence, your video pushed me over to ownership.
What a beautiful machine.
Thank you
Ha ha ha 😄😄👍🏽👌🏼👏🏻. That's awesome Shaggywag. It's an amazing car my friend. I refuse to sell this thing and I hope it's a manual like mine too. 😅😅😅. If it is,. Hold on to that gem cause there will be no more of them. If you have any questions, I'll be here😁😁😁😁.
Do oil maintenance every 5000 miles, the valve stem seals will like you more
Oooh really?? Thanks for the tip Anthonyk. Appreciate the tip sir 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾. 🙂🙂
hey bro can you do preef explanation on e60 and there advantages and disadvantages and how i can keep it reliable much is possible ❤
Sure thing nizar. i'll try to do a followup show about this E60 for ya. stay tuned and subscribe
I also have a white 2007, which I bought in 2010. This is the car that I've owned the longest, by far. The suspension is basically magical: Smooth on bumpy roads, stable at high speed, flat on turns. The car literally tilts to offset body roll (active roll stabilization in the M sport package th-cam.com/video/tktOJMzIJog/w-d-xo.html). I've driven a few sports cars, including a Corvette and an Infiniti coupe with sport suspension. Both felt bumpy going straight and leaned too much on tight turns or on turns at speed compared to the 550i.
One thing that you did not mention in your video is how amazingly well put together the E60 550i is, or the high quality of materials. In the rare occasion when my wife gets to drive it, she cannot believe that the interior in my 2007 is in better shape than in her 2015 car.
In the US, we didn't get the 19" wheels or the M looking lower front that yours has. Not until 2008. So mine is not as pretty as yours is, but it is about 200 lb lighter. As they say: "you win some you lose some". :-) The steering angle sensor failed me once, but I was able to fix it myself for $12 in a couple of hours. No leaks so far, ever.
How many miles on yours?
i really don't know how I've missed the comment but here i am now. do forgive me. my E60 550 now has about 270 K's. Still sexy as hell and loving her like the first day i bought it still. why would yours be 200 LBS lighter Guess????
@@letsrollout7307 No worries. 270k wow, that's a bunch of miles. Have you have to replace your valve seals? According to online resources, the post face-lift models weigh 200 lbs. more due to the bigger tires and body work.

Anyone here have a 2007 525xi manual?
經典 V8
yes it is a V8
How much did you get it for 8 years ago?
AX5Z bf. This car cost me about $78.000 canadian dollars 9yrs ago.
LET'S ROLL OUT does the 2007 version has AUX input for music?
AX5Z. Honestly I'm not aware if it does or don't. What i can say is if it does it will be behind the center armrest accessed from the back seat.
AX5Z. Yes the 2007 come with aux input
I enjoyed the video thank you!
Luke Rogers glad to hear you did luke. Hope you've chosen to subscribe to the show.
LET'S ROLL OUT i I am a subscriber and may pick up a 2007 bmw 550i this weekend
Luke Rogers now that's a great choice. May sure to have it inspected to give u some peace of mind. Is it manual????
LET'S ROLL OUT sadly it is not a manual.. what are some common issues with these? The water pump went out the day before I was going to buy it they are repairing it and I plan to still get it is this a one time thing or the beginning of lots of repairs??
Luke Rogers how many klm on the car. ??? The V8's from BMW has a exhaust valve seal problem. How u will see this problem is by driving the car then bring it to a stop and leave it to idle. Stand outside the car and do some revving of the engine. If it smokes. U have a valve problem.
1:37 fender different shade of color
Diesel. That may be a lighting or perspective issue. The car wasn't painted if that's what you're implying. Thanks for you imput though. 👏👏👏👍👍👍
oil change every 20k kms??? are you serious?
Ss ss yes. It is the recommendation from BMW. Feel free to call your cloest dealer to validate. The car use full synthetic oils. You can change ut sooner if you choose to. Thanks for the question and i hope I've answered it the way you'de like. If you have Anymore question. Feel free to ask. 👏👏👏👏
Great video. But come on 20 000 km is way too much. How's the car running? How much oil does it consume? Because I usually change oil every 7-10k which is what everyone should do I believe. When you change the oil at 20k just look at how dark it is and you'll understand what I mean. Also my advice to you never trust dealerships. Beautiful car tho 🙌🙌
Ss ss. Thanks SS. But like I've said 20000 has been my oil changed and she's still been great.
Ss ss if the n62 engine is anything like the n63. It probably burns a quart of oil on average every once a month. So you can go longer intervals between changes due to the introduction of new oil so often.
Bimmer gang!
Yes yes. 😉😉😀😀👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾. How's it going Mac???
