The M5 is like marrying a beautiful woman whose last 2 husbands died mysterious deaths. Could be nothing.... could be the worst decision you ever make. Exciting though.
damn i like that
LOL as an owner of one I can agree with this statement lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂☝🏻☝🏻
Own a M6 2008 for 4 years, very reliable. Changed rod bearings paid 1500 USD at ess and regular oil changes etc and no issues at all. My C6 corvette was much more of a headache by all means and refinment on the BMW is on another level. Its simple to visualize why its a good buy, you pay 25k for one low mileage, drop 5 k on preventive maintenance total 30k, the cost of a brand new civic. That is bang for the buck, to many keyboard bullshiters. I also own a e92 m3 currently which is also criticized a lot and its a great car.
And owned an e46 m3 in the past, still miss it.
I took a "risk" 4 years ago. No major issues , mostly maintenance stuff. 40k special miles later all I can say about reliability is that the haters that never owned one will always be "experts"....
I'm honestly VERY tempted to get one of these cars. The rod bearing issue doesn't sound bad as long as you take care of it.
Definitely add the facelift taillights in a future mod!
O shqipeee
Tyler Hoovier has entered the chat... But...
The Car Wizard: Let me start shopping for yachts again...
hah!
He should’ve kept that car instead he has an ugly hummer now
Super Dojo great idea to sell the sorted M5 to buy that Maserati which was in the shop for months
Kalle Specki RIGHT!!!!! And sell the sorted and built Lexus LX470 for a crappy run down unreliable Hummer H2.....I beg to question his sanity now I really miss that M5
Super Dojo it makes me furious that he doesn’t do any research on the cars. People often tell him the solutions for problems in the comments but he doesn’t read it. He rather gets rid of the car with a massive loss and say it’s unfixable. He did that with the 850i for example.
I've owned dozens of BMW's over the last 25 years, you either get a good one or a bad one. I had ones where the window and door actuators broke all the time and others where I never had a problem. You'll know in a few months if she is a good one or bad one
Maybe the bad ones where built by piss heads with hangovers. Be interesting to find out what causes these variable manefestaions.
Yeah. My current one is a good one. I got lucky, it's an e90 328i , that n52 is really a gem. Bulletproof and smooth as silk. Not a super fast car but enough to be fun
I got an N54 535i E60 69k miles have had it since January haven’t had any issues 6k miles later
Jack Smith I have owned several BMW over the years, and you are absolutely right. Sometimes you get a good one and other times it’s a bad one!
It's The BEST BMW M5 Ever Made!

WRONG!!!!!!!!!
actually most famous and most legendary was M5 E39!! v8 . 400 hp
second most famous and most legendary was E46 M3. esp CSL!!!!!!!!!
actually it is still a question what car was better!!!!!!!
buddy do your home work!!!!!!!!
My Dad still owns his from new with SMG!! here in the UK. The only issue he ever had was a faulty alternator which was replaced under warranty! It’s currently on 167000 miles. It’s his daily driver No leaks, no Vanos issues. Believe me he doesn’t drive it like a 60 year old man😨. Always stick to the service intervals from BMW!!
..."the e60 M5 has a soul and purity,...that no other M5 can come close to". I certainly agree, ..and will raise you one,...the e60 M5 has a soul and purity that is unmatched by any other BMW M car - Period!
Edit: I'm bias too,...my 2010 Blk on Blk M5 has mufflers deleted with 4" tips,...and it sound every bit of Formula 1. One has to hear it to understand it....the engine literally sings above 4000 RPMs.

E46 and e92 come close
Mike: i know it's reputation, and i'm willing to take a risk.

Scotty Kilmer is stodgy, and his brain has been turned to mush by too much boozing.
Skipper hate him tbh
Scotty drives trash cars he ain’t gang

You,will divorce it after the 4th month.
This is the car that only true car guys know.

I own an 08 e60 m5 manual and have owned it for 7 years. Daily drive it and it has 116k miles..... I love the car. Many people offer me to buy it but I just can't get rid of it. Best car I have owned and definitely think I will keep till I die!
I feel that BMW M cars are the best (All Around) sport cars made! Hands down
If you have deep pockets
Porsche has entered chat..
Big boy AMG entered the chat
@@chillinwithchris1536 I love both !
not anymore
2007 is a magical year for cars... just before the crash we had such bright dreams of v10s
Yea a lot of cars cheaped out after the big housing crash, I noticed many brands got REAL cheap for a long time.
I agree with EVERYTHING you said. I had one. Legend of a V10. Sings like an F1. Not unreliable if maintained. Classic
I had an E60 535 in 2010. I still think it is the best looking 5 series ever made. There was no mistaking it for anything else. You instantly knew what it was, from a distance. Today's 5 series looks like a slightly larger 3 series. Not a bad thing, to be sure. Just not as distinctive.
Love the channel, for me the e39 M5 will always have a special place in my ❤️ ...enjoy your new ride!!
FINALLY!!!!!!! buy who actually drived BMW!!!!!!!!
Imagine if Mike's key malfunctioned and didn't open the trunk while he sat there 😂
...does it have a manual strap release...?
@@jamescraig4479 I'm pretty sure it does but just the picture of it seemed hilarious to me lol
The car came with a manual strap release mandated by law....fail comment. LOL XD
New M5s are faster, arguably 'better' cars. The E60 is the best, raw M5 that will ever see the light of day.
Learned the whole I drive on the way home from the dealer which was within 10mins.The best ever✌️
Fantastic review on an amazing sedan. Makes me miss my 99 540i M manual!
The 540i was a beast back then.
owned e39 540i manual really reliable car but biggest issues is vanos thats it
I have a 2019 M5 and love it.. Have a few upgrades on it... Car is fire
Little jealous brother. Lol even a lease would be $2k a month.
Geez. You're a lucky guy. That's a pricey but fantastic car
@@colelockridge5816 It's my stepping stone to the big boy cars (Exotics) but yes its a great car
The best sedan ever. I daily drive my 2010 M5 and I look forward to drive to work everyday.
I absolutely love these cars. I have a 550i m sport 2008. Very very nice car. Not an m5 but i love my car. The interior and exterior is all the same. Mine have updates being a 2008 especially the interior, i just noticed this watching your video.
e60 m5 six speed manual will do atleast 320kph speedo indicated once you have it derestricted. Can vouch for that after having done it this past summer on the autobahn, it was still pullin hard even then but I had to lift off. Epic beast for sure!
One of the fam members just recently took delivery of a brand new fully-loaded ‘19 M5 Competition. I like to think that vehicle is SPECTACULAR in every way!! It’s like a “two cars in one”! Has a lot of interesting and useful features to know and learn. Like most of the other supercar owners, this proud M5C owner has beautiful decent sized home with doubled plus one garage (triple garage) which made a world of difference in terms of the ez access and doin’ various projects (full detailing, accessories/parts install, hanging out, and etc...).
Every car enthusiast must drive car like this at least once in his live!
Two open air filters on those intakes would sound awesome!!! And only loud under load.
Audi actually made a 06 RS6 Twin Turbo V10 wagon, and it was the most powerful Audi they produced up to that time. But it was for the Euro market only! It was a bad ass car!!
13:45 Paranormal Activity sound fx kick in, the car's haunted man... My 1st and current BMW is a lowly 2006 320D at 250,000Km now after buying used at around 170,000Km and still pulls strong, handles better than any car I've ever owned and on the highway uses less than 5L/100Km (I can get a 600Km trip off less than 1/2 a tank with overtaking). I will drive it until it don't drive no more. Little things have broken and I fix 'em myself and keep up with oil changes etc. myself, people just complain about dealer prices. I think the '06 320D sits between models than have timing chain issues. Your M5 is awesome.
DougDeMuro: the E60 M5 is super duper unreliable

AutoVlog: Hold my M5
@Peki Struja Doug DeMuro "The E60 BMW M5 Is the Best Car You Should Never Own"
true!!!!!!!
Doug is an ignorant, I don’t know how people listen to that idiot
Nino Martini
“An ignorant...”
Really?
Earns an economics degree from Emory University, published writer/editor at Jalopnik and Autotrader, amongst the top-ranked TH-camrs in his genre garnering over a billion views, co-founded his own car auction site, and makes a (successful) living driving, and owning, cars most of us will only ever enjoy vicariously.
“An ignorant” (in the mind of the man who uses ignorant as a noun), undoubtedly because his opinions don’t align with yours.
@@dantemuscolo4671 I wanted to cosign the ignorant Demuro statement so bad....but i just can't 🤣🤣
i think its the best sounding bmw of all time, great video mike
Was behind one yesterday, my god what a sound!! 😍
AutoVlog Great Video I agree your E60 M5 is the Best BMW M5 ever made because of its naturally aspirated V10
Loved the video. I am literally waiting for my 2006 automatic M5 to roll down the auction block. Its gray and only 87K original Miles coming from WV. Happy, scared, and dying from anticipation.
Not everyone buddy, I love that car, I'm planing to trade in my 2012 s4 for a 2008 m5.
Hope it goes well for you. I'll be jealous haha.
Hurry up with that exhaust!! Love it.
Mike :D It really needs some new headlights ;) angel eyes you know ;)
Almost impossible to find this M5 in other color other than black factory.
I found one one of these in the same price of a new fully equipped 2019 Honda Accord in my country.
This is one of my dream car.
Mike, chuck the vbox and get a dragy and the dragy app. It's much more user friendly and you can compare times with other people around the world.
Haven't seen your videos in months. This popped up on my Google feed. Glad to be back! I guess it showed up cus I love the E60 generation of the 5 series
Mine is just shy of 109k miles, just had $2700 worth of trans work done, don’t care, still love it to death, currently have some 104 octane in it, she loves it😁
Yes!!!! Finally a person is not hating on it
Your car is not 2007. In 2007 came the facelift and you have pre-facelift (headlights, drives door for example). I think you have 2006 model. In 2006 came the facelift electronics with the aux in the back seats, but was the last year of the pre-facelift. It might been bought in 2007 but it is a 2006 model!
Love your videos!
You dont have to stick the key in to start the car. The car can be started with the key present in the car.
5.4 seconds is the current generation 3 series 4cyl 0-60 time. How times change.
@Martin Svensson uh, yeah. In reality. It has launch control and is pretty consistent.
I hear you my dude. I have been preaching this for some time. Small turbo engines, hybrids.....blah,blah,blah. I agree with you that these will be missed once they are gone. Thats why I have chosen to keep one of these around in my garage. Scotty who? LOL
It could be fun to set your Bmw m5 v10 against an Audi RS6 v10 to see the difference between these cars, engine sound, acceleration, quality, driving pleasure. It's an exciting and really good youtube channel you have sir.
Do a blinker delete extra 30 hp, 😂😂
😂😂😂
weight reduction
He's in PA - that's mandatory.
comes standard.
Blinkers are a $25,000 option. That's why none of them have them.
I also love the e60, and I think its the best looking 5 series
Best video. I like POV driving review bring it more often please
Thinking of you and your videos today when washing both my wife's F250 and mine.
I have to agree with Mike. I'm old school and love those power engine gas cars. However, the future brings many changes in the automobile industry. V10, V8 and even V6 will eventually be a thing of the past. So let's enjoy them while we still have them.
If you wanna get gas,fill up the fuel tank first,then you can go to the gas station and get gas. #V10
Loved your review man. Manual is the way to go!!
Well I get 17 mpg out of my 330i e90, never had a issue with mine, so that’s not bad mpg for a M5, plus I pay £1.45 per litre here in the uk.
After a brief stint with an 08, I scurried back to the safety of an E39 M5. Appreciate the enthusiasm for the car in this video, and to own one I’d definitely follow the path of this owner in finding one that has proven provenance. You can still find them relatively cheaply, however cost of ownership was too much for me. Tires, fuel, anything you can think of is expensive here. Deep pockets is a must or the car will head into rapid decline. That plus the fact you can’t really use the power on American roads makes this car a curiosity at best. SMG is not fun after a while either, it becomes constantly annoying as you struggle to try to live with it. I’ve had 3 SMG’s. Good luck to E60 owner wallets!
You can update the navigation with BT included and add a backup camera . Operating temperature envelope is a seldom understood concept.
BMW can get you the dealer servicing record. Register your car with BMW USA first.
Mike I like how you added semi-bold, bro you look great and so does the car, welcome I have a 2020 M2C (finally in the M Series) been owning a bmw since 2008
Have you heard about the parable of the man who spent every penny he made and even went into severe crippling debt buying and keeping up with the maintenance of his e60 m5? Yes he worked 70 hours weeks in a hot factory breaking down his body day by day like a whip with pounding sounds of forklift beeps repetitively embedded into his head. All to keep up paying for the car at the end of the week he had nothing. Even had to spend 20$ a week on food because that’s all he could afford food also never bought a house couldn’t afford that had to sleep in the m5. What a life he lived. I could tell you even more
If equipped with their inline 6 or a V8 engine, since when has BMW ever made a bad vehicle ???? Nice video, great car !!!
Mike make a video on what happens if you put into reverse while driving in your BMW E60 M5
Talk to me 1 year later. Then we talk about issues. I am a bmw mechanic from Germany and I know what I am talking about. But straight love for M ! 🥰
Own a M6 2008 for 4 years, very reliable. Changed rod bearings paid 1500 USD at ess and regular oil changes etc and no issues at all. My C6 corvette was much more of a headache by all means and refinment on the BMW is on another level.

That is bang for the buck, to many keyboard bullshiters. I also own a e92 m3 currently which is also criticized a lot and its a great car.
Audi made a V10 TT RS6 in both wagon and sedan form. That was the car dominant car of the era. I do own a 2008 E60 6MT M5 with DINAN stuff on it.
I feel like that is the most beautiful car ever made.
The best sports sedan that was ever produced, because of its naturally aspirated v10.
I love it, but the E61 M5 was even cooler because of its rarity❤️
Who cares if it is unreliable as long as it brings you joy, doesn’t cost you a whole lot and puts a smile on your face... I mean, I’m planning on buying a 1987-1991 Jeep grand wagoneer, my dad had one of those from 85 till 08 when he sold it with close to 350k miles, talk about unreliable 😂😂😂
The E60 M5 may have a bad rep, but it's not alone. E90s were a mess. My 2008 335i had bad injectors, high pressure fuel pump, and water pump, all fail at under 36K. The injectors were notoriously bad for 2007 - 2009 I believe. My 2011 faired much better, all the way to 177K miles with a radiator and fuel pump my only significant repairs. My current 2018 340i M Sport has no issues thus far and I put a lot miles on my car. About 2500 miles per month.
The E60 ist one of the best looking cars ever made. If you look at a Mercedes or Audi from that time, they look horrendously outdated, but an E60 looks fresh and modern today and will do so another 20 years from now.
I still got mine for 5 years now! Annnd nobody could beat me top end!
E60 M5 was actually made for the DCT transmission, which they decided to use for the following generation. BMW has been ahead of the game for a hot minute.
You should do a comparison to a new bmw m550. Not a direct comparison but it should show how far they came
The e60 in general is my favorite looking 5 series generation. Love the curves and angle .
I’m 2years late but the rcf that tried you, that would have been a good race!
You can find out the service history from your local BMW dealership Mike. All of these information are centralised if you don't have the service book for the car
I couldn't agree with you more Mike about the looks. Awesome machine all round.
You will end up loving this more then the Farrari but you won’t tell anyone 😎
The induction noise is the best part!
I have a buddy thats a huge m5 fan and his car will keep up with my modified 392 challenger all day but when your in his car it just doesn't feel fast,its weird! I'm not really a fan but,I have to admit the m5s are really nice cars! Fit and finish etc....
Mike I agree that if these cars aren't taken care of they break easily because they need love but I also agree that alot of cars can be reliable if properly handled and maintained but there is no way that car looks ugly it is gorgeous and in black so sinister too
Love how it sounds don't get the anoying popcorn sound
4:54 scotty kilmer???? 4:56 Oh just Mike haha
As a youtuber. It's pretty cool to film your experience with the car.
10:25 The gearing is indeed different, because it has a gear less. But as far as I know the 550i is a 4.8L engine and the M5 has a 5.0L. The thing, as far as I know, is that the amount of cylinders has no influence in the gearing and RPM, but displacement does. 200cc less shouldn't make that much of a difference I suppose. The M5 also has more torque and HP so it should handle other gearing easy.
I’ve got a 2007 M5 manual just like yours with only 30k miles on it. But somehow the ABS module managed to fail on me last month. It cost $3k to fix lol
That’s a Lexus rc f it’s as fast or even maybe faster then the e60 m5
Bob Smith the rcf will still pull harder
Had one for 4 years I guess i had a melon cuz I spent 30k on it after purchase...would still buy one again down the road. The car is an addiction
Love the car! A real legend. But E39 is the ultimate M5 and legend!
Yea, E39 has it all, including better styling😉 I have to admit though; the E60 styling has grown on me, but it just can’t compare to the absolute timeless design of the E39.
I can’t understand how an 18 year old car can still look new. Notice how i didn’t include the pre-facelift E39😉 E39 pre-facelift looks very dated. The facelift LED tail lights and classic illuminated front BMW angel eyes changed so much.
J Gripen Facelift e39 m5 does not look like a new car. Sure it looks good, but no way does it look like a new car.
R.I.P. early 2000s M cars. They don’t make them like that anymore!
rooomnoob
Yea i understand there’ll be disagreements - it is an old car at this point.
The e39 is better exept the engine.
I never owned a used toy before! I did brag to my friends about my new 5 speed Playboy 88 when I was 9 years old, but there was no TH-cam in those days.!
0:38, for a second I thought I was watching Doug...
That’s so funny! My e39 has the exact same sunroof noise issue, I think the gasket is just shot, but I also don’t have any water seepage, it’s an interesting problem
This car is perfect yet flawed. Looks is polarising and its reliability is bit iffy but the best part is RWD,has a V10, Stick shift and most importantly a Hydraulic Steering!! I love it buy its isnt my favourite. My favourites are the E39, The F10 M5 and the Current F89 M5!!
I agree Mike on several counts/points you made. I hope as well they don't stop making aspirated engines to only make electric cars. Something about hearing the engine & exhaust. I agree with risk for the passion. Kudos for standing up against the No's like Scotty Kilmer ...
The irony of the IKIA pass over the shoulder....
Love it Mike a lot... it will last FOR EVER... great vid as always 👍😎🧡
It's so weird how the American market had much more demand for a manual and the European market didn't even get it
Mike: 0:45
Audi S6 V10: Am I A Joke To You?!
Audi S8 V10: Don't worry about it... nobody cares about us anymore...
lol Mike should have gotten a S8
This BMW is amazing..I dont like manual but is amazing car..
Has major engine design issues and he will be sorry he bought it in due time like everyone else who has owned this particular model with the v-10 especially as he clocks miles on it
Wait until 70k miles... idle air controllers and throttle body actuators. Deep deep joy. I loved my E60 M5, but did not enjoy the repair bills. Good luck!
IT's definitely underrated but the person that designed that Trunk needed to be chastised and let go. Every Bmer they put it on looks hideous and one of the reasons I won't buy a 5,6,or 7 series built before 2010 which I believe is the yr they changed the trunks and got rid or those Cat eyes for headlights.
