Recognise the road! I was down staying in Bodmin for work whilst working on Polruan so drove that road everyday but only in the van :( spent almost a month down there. Is a gorgeous place. It’s a decent trek since I’m North East Scotland!
I am definitely buying one of these, currently driving an stage 1 635d e64 convertible, super quick and turns heads everywhere I go. However the M5 is more practical plus a lot more
Champagne quartz grey wrap with a gloss black bodykit would look amazing and unique for sure! Slightly understated yet flamboyant colour. ‘Mature’ vibes with a nice oem + bodykit will look the business
Just a suggestion Matt, look into an aftermarket sound system instead of retrofitting the HK system. It’ll sound way better for the same cost. That’s what I did and it’s amazing ✌🏼

They're not too bad to run depending on your mileage. At the moment with fuel prices the way they are a tank is about £120, tax £580 a year and insurance just under £500 a year but not all insurers will cover it and they will insist you fit a tracker with a monitoring contract before you're covered for theft. Servicing can vary, I change my own oil every 3000 miles but I believe the dealer will charge under 500 quid for a standard service as well.
A brilliant car, but for a young guy who's just got out of an 140, I can't see you keeping it for long. In comparison the M5 is a boat for motorway cruising, not for spirited country road drives. That said, I hope you prove me wrong and really enjoy your new car!
Lovely car! I have a F10 535d with the Harmon Kardon and it sounds great. Had a m140 with the h/k also and in the f10 it’s much better. If a retro fit isn’t crazy money then it’s definitely worth it
At last. A great new M5 content we waited for! U.K. needs the mods next please. Great car. U.K. supports you. Such a down to earth channel. Drive safely. Stay safe. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Cracking car you can’t beat an old classic it may be leagues apart for looks and technology compared to what’s on the market nowadays but nothing beats that V8 roar that the tree huggers have won in their battle to take away from us
My boot has a habit of spontaneously unlocking itself while I'm away from the car, and I only notice when the "boot open" warning flashes on the MFD, so I can't get custom struts like this 😅
Absolute monster of a car mate love it. 1 word of advice no matter what you do, dont remap it. I have an F10 LCI M5 myself and from fellow owners they have experienced nothing but a world of pain and problems and a anorexic wallet from remaps causing eye watering amounts of damage. Not saying it cant be remapped and have success but from experience and stories ive been told, it isnt a good idea to even think about. the M5 is a monster of a machine but a very sensitive one, especially to poor maintenance and tuning. It puzzles me how anyone can possibly want anymore power out of something like an M5 which can struggle to use all of its power sometimes anyways. Keep up the awesome vids brett 👍
They are not that expensive to run as a daily. Only issue is when they blow up 😂. Common thing on these when tuned, they bend rods. I spent 15k on a rebuild with forged rods unfortunately
@@BrettBarnesYT sounds like a plan! I just wanted to pass on some useful advice given my bad experience and (at the time) very small following for these cars beyond a remap and basic mods in the UK :)
When you said 2 litre diesel 140bhp I knew it would a vag. Problem is you can get that engine in almost every vag car apart from the Audi A8, tourag and q7 so hard to guess which it is
Hi Brett are you worried about the notorious S63 catastrophic engine failures in the F10 M5 (and M6)? I'm interested in buying one but I'd be too scared to drive one without BMW extended warranty which prevents me doing any tuning or mods
Enjoyed the video as always man! Know the feeling about having work in an hour and squeeze everything in etc. What do you do for work if you don't mind me asking? I'm a supermarket manager doesn't sound like it's too stressful but it is 😂
There is no BMW that is a sensible decision. If one is into them it automatically means buying into financial stress 😂 and that comes from someone who owns several.
Lovely car, Brett. Dread to think what the insurance is like but, really, who cares. If you can, you might as well. Look forward to the new content on this bad boy.
I'm wondering what you do for a living. You got a M5 which is expensive to begin with then insurance plus tax and fuel, you bought a new car after this as second car which is expensive as well and costs insurance plus tax and fuel again... All this must be a price tag of a lamborghini! Not hating or anything but i could barely afford my bmw f30 340i with basic options i legit feel poor now. Nice M5 tho.
You deserve this buddy👏🏼 drive safe, got an absolute machine on your hands there!👌🏼
Will do, thank you so much! Lots more to come
Bought my 2014 F10 M5 CP the day before by 22nd birthday last year. Epic car, congratulations!!

100% right mate. I’ve got a 2015 F10 M5 , and my Harman Kardon amp has gone tits up!
Just be careful of sticking injectors, change the oil frequently, look out for rust at the top of the doors
Could you do a price breakdown video? Like general price of these cars, insurance, tax, fuel ect

I am honestly in love in this car, absolutely amazing!
Such a nice car. I reckon it could do with a little exhaust install then boy would it sound good
Coming soon!

sheeeeeesh first drive in the F10 M5 let's get it!!!!! i can't wait for the mods on this 4.4L V8 beast!!!
Same bro
Lots coming!!
Changing the tyres from Michelin Supersports to PS4S will make a huge difference on wet roads especially.
Yeah! 😀
At last. A great new M5 content we waited for! U.K. needs the mods next please. Great car. U.K. supports you. Such a down to earth channel. Drive safely. Stay safe. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you very much! Really appreciate your kind words
Found some small springs the same size as Emerald Struts springs. Popped them on thinking “it’s a waste of time” ..hey presto!! Works like a dream
Cracking car you can’t beat an old classic it may be leagues apart for looks and technology compared to what’s on the market nowadays but nothing beats that V8 roar that the tree huggers have won in their battle to take away from us
Stunning car pal. Looking forward to the upcoming mods. Standard bmw struts will die out pretty soon anyways so always a worthwhile mod.
Yeah proper clever mod!
Subscribed! Fellow M5 owner here so can’t wait to see the mods you do to this beast.
Thank you mate!
Sick upgrade 👌 can't wait to see more mods on it
Should be good!
45.2k subs such a big congratulations brother big big upgrade 🐐
My boot has a habit of spontaneously unlocking itself while I'm away from the car, and I only notice when the "boot open" warning flashes on the MFD, so I can't get custom struts like this 😅
Yeah I wouldn’t hahaha
How about nardo grey as a wrap, it’s less bright but still looks flashy
Over done
I think you should maybe wrap the M5 Baby Blue or Pearl white maybe! 👀
that would be cool also another suggestion baby blue wrap
Baby blue with rear tinted headlights gonna look amazing
great vid Brett !
❤️

The struts are not available for E90-92. Disappointing.
Out of stock because the demand is so high 😂
They are not that expensive to run as a daily. Only issue is when they blow up 😂. Common thing on these when tuned, they bend rods. I spent 15k on a rebuild with forged rods unfortunately
I think I’ll be keeping mine stock for that very reason! Rather for the reliability
@@BrettBarnesYT sounds like a plan! I just wanted to pass on some useful advice given my bad experience and (at the time) very small following for these cars beyond a remap and basic mods in the UK :)
Defo wrap it - satin green check out yannimize and the colour they did on a M4 x
Can you reveal the daily driver car keep up the hard work stay more consistent thanks
Yeah I will reveal it. Not sure what to do with it at the moment though in terms of content
The interior is lush, very sensible mate having a daily driver to keep this M5 amazing
Yeah that's what i thought! Makes so much sense
You mention wrapping. Always wondered if you need to inform your insurance company or tell the dvla and get a new V5?
Yeah insurance and DVLA bud!
Can't wait to see it detailed :)
What about buying a cheap project car? Like a vw golf for a Peugeot 206 and making a series about fixing it up.
Yeah that’s my plan next year
Great F10 M5,love it ! :D
Whats the background music?
Nice motor, happy for you dude!
Thank you!
When you said 2 litre diesel 140bhp I knew it would a vag. Problem is you can get that engine in almost every vag car apart from the Audi A8, tourag and q7 so hard to guess which it is
Probably show it in a video soon..!
You got a very nice car bro! I´m hyped to see so much modification videos of you! Greets from Germany! c:
Thank you mate!!
Love the laugh when you do a pull 😂 sound a bit like santa.
😂😂😂😂
More like mr bean lmao
Insurance costs?
Candy apple red would look awsome on that beast
Yes it would!
Congrats Brett! Seen you progress since your first car and your smashing it mate! Insane car at 20👊🏼
Thank you
100% you deserve this, unreal car and performance for the money. And for the colour what about ‘verde mantis’ check it out 👏🏽
Thank you! Will check that out
I wonder if those emerald struts might stop my M140i rear tailgate rattling!!??
Give them ago
Just wish I had the money to get myself into one of these... :( one can dream
Work and push for it! Anything is possible
What is mpg?
Wrap it red ? Would really brighten things up
Red already been done, thumbnails would look similar
I've got the G30 5 Series with HK... Not worth the retrofit costs, isn't that great, go aftermarket!
Fair enough, Will look at other options
Hi Brett are you worried about the notorious S63 catastrophic engine failures in the F10 M5 (and M6)? I'm interested in buying one but I'd be too scared to drive one without BMW extended warranty which prevents me doing any tuning or mods
Mine will be stock power! And I’m going to keep it well maintained
@@BrettBarnesYT Not even an exhaust mod?
Yeah I mean engine mods
@@BrettBarnesYT Do you plan on getting BMW extended warranty (a MUST for F10 M5's imo)?? Because if so, exhaust mods may void it
Watching your videos made me want to get a 1 series I got one and I love it.
Good cars! I'd have one again tomorrow
U should start mods on tha car tint the rear headlights it's gonna look like beast
Yeah coming soon!!
Have you tried JMW for servicing??
Yeah that’s where I go 😎! Good people down there
Been waiting for Emerald Struts to get the BMW F40 struts in for like 6 months
Drop them a message and see what they can do!
Wonderful car . What's your job .
Work in IT
What do you do Brett?
Work in IT
Maybe to service your M5 maybe head to Evolve 👀
Potentially! :)
Or do it yourself..more content and very interesting for a lot of us
Good shout
Defo need a decent exhaust on it
Defo
Midnight purple, yes please!
😎
Enjoyed the video as always man! Know the feeling about having work in an hour and squeeze everything in etc. What do you do for work if you don't mind me asking? I'm a supermarket manager doesn't sound like it's too stressful but it is 😂
Work in IT mate! I find it very hard to fit time in to do videos haha, specially with this weather!
Daily drive is Audi A3 2L tdi?
No ;)
What’s your insurance like on the m5?
I was quoted around £2500
Around that for me!
There is no BMW that is a sensible decision. If one is into them it automatically means buying into financial stress 😂 and that comes from someone who owns several.
Lovely car, Brett. Dread to think what the insurance is like but, really, who cares. If you can, you might as well. Look forward to the new content on this bad boy.
Thanks mate! Lots to come
I can't wait for them mods 😊
Next week ;)
You need to get onto doing youtube fulltime mate!
Not yet! Far from it yet 👊🏻
Woah u grew so much I remember watching when u turned 17 u got a car
The good old corsa
@@BrettBarnesYT ye that one good old days
Daily car is probably a Jetta or Passat
Correct!

Work in the IT industry!
The colour better be hot pink…
🤣🤣🤣
insurance cost would be a good vid:}
Enjoy your new Scirocco/ Golf…
Nope 👎
Bro you should definitely get a dark blue wrap on the M5,that would look so so good!
Yeah!!
Great car buddy, but some might assume its your dads car
lol
My mate raced one off these in a mk7 golf r 420bhp the other day
You sound like Jeremy Clarkson
Orange
Deffo an Audi A3
Nope
Hi
My brother works at carbonaccent
Passat 😏
😉
Sorry Brett, car looks too big for you. It looks like a son has taken his dads car without permission.
That’s fine haha! I love it, so much road presence
@@BrettBarnesYT wicked car though. I’m just used to seeing you in a smaller 1 series
bro thats not an F10!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
