One of the best sedans ever made in my opinion. The time where BMW design was just perfection. I mean the E46 and E90 3 series, the E38 7 Series, the E39 5 Series, all these cars were just beautiful and timeless in their design.

@@C_J__ yeah haha they sure do know how to milk it and over dramatise a situation. As if they are catering to 5 year old kids or something. The over exaggerated excitement and acting is a bit too much to for me
E60 and E39 easily my favourites, e39 is such a handsome, timeless shape and sounds amazing. E60 still looks modern and that V10 sounds incredible and piles on speed relentlessly, it has much more character than the later boring m5’s also :)
E60 has the best engine out of all the M5s by far, but it also has the worst reliability out of all of them, since they have a tendancy to blow up and not work from rod bearing failures, so better change them sooner than later. Same issue with the E90 M3 with its 4.0L V8. Both are pretty much the same engine with the same problems. Surprised this E60 didn't have a problem with its engine after all the brutal launches it did. I'm sure the owner did their due diligence with their E60.
The s65/85 aren't hard to keep running good anymore, everyone knows what to do. They are just expensive. But having just bought an e60 m5, I don't care.. the noise and how direct the car is makes it 100% worth spending the money to keep it running.
As a previous owner of an e60 m5 this is really beautiful to watch! Sadly my car dropped an injector cylinder 10, siemens injector so it stuck open and flooded/hydrolocked and made a terrible mess 😢 sold it after rebuild and regretted the sale ever since. What a car! Never ever will i experience something so special again, e60 way ahead of its time N/A all the way!!!!
@@The_North0 wow, that's amazing, any major issues you've had with the car, has it been treating you well, I hope it's a manual cause that's one saving grace of it Cause the smg isn't the best.
I’ve owned both the E39 M5 and currently have the E60 M5 and while the E39 is amazing the sound and feeling of driving the E60 M5 is intoxicating and gets in your bones 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That E60 sounds the most badass of them all for me personally - when it picks up speed on the swing camera shot and by the time it reaches the 1/4 mile mark.
S85, contrary to the opinion of couch racers, is considered one of the most reliable engines, and it is more reliable than S63 on F10 and F90. it just so happened that people were not ready for such a technologically advanced motor. It needed maintenance comparable to any sports car, not an ordinary car. More frequent oil changes and more expensive consumables, people were not ready for this then, and killed these motors
Similar to my e39 which had been unloved by its previous owner, I spent the money on it replacing things that had been cheaped out on and it transformed the car. As my foreman at the time commented, when the car was about 14 years old, "she's getting on in years but she's still a thoroughbred and needs treating as such"
@danielartyukhov944 very true. If maintained, it will last. It just has tighter tolerances than many other mills. It's a sick car although personally M5s aren't my thing. The old ones are sick while the new ones are just too porky.

You cannot help but claim that the pinnacle of all M5's is the E39. That glorious 5.0L V8 is too freaking good. Still looks timeless, sounds gorgeous, and with a manual gearbox it completes the picture.
Great fun as always. What non German speakers don't realize is they're having fun with Daniel & Mat in the translations...he is often saying something totally different from what you read in the "translations" 😉
@Thequrbanov062 you clearly are under the age of 25, m5's have continually became less and less about the motorsport heritage. And not to mention the e34 can still make more power then even the brand new one
The E39 is simply the best looking M5 and one of the best looking saloon cars ever made. It’s also the best to drive. Only if someone could come up with the E60 engine inside an E39 and make everything work perfectly. That’d be my favourite dream saloon car 😍
Matt, I’ve been watching you for years and have never been disappointed. This collection of Beemers is just the best! I don’t know how you got them together but I’m glad you did. Well done sir and we’ll done to the team!
When the E34 came out in the states I was 21 years old and I can tell you right now that car looked like a spaceship compared to what was out there at the time...absolutely love the E34 special place for it in my heart ❤️
As a german native speaker i wanna say, that at 17:15 "Oh eat my dust" is wrong. He said "oh das Auto schwimmt" translated to "oh the car is floating" --> steering. 17:22 "Mat is zu früh in den 3. gang hochgeschaltet" ---> "Mat shiftet too early in the 3rd"
I'm surprised no one has commented on the fact right before the drive shaft broke. The run before hand he redlighted for sure. Her hands never started to go down until he launched. Not that it mattered ... but still figured someone else would say it. Especially them !
It’s nice when you get an e60 m5 that’s running well. It’s such a monstrous car when it is. The difference between a good one and a bad one is enormous.
As a proud owner myself of a 30 Jahre F10 M5 with a healthy driveshaft 😆 I can agree the sound of the Akrapovic Titanium M Sport exhaust is pure heaven, along with Carbon Ceramic brakes as this car also had makes it the best M5 I have ever owned. I had the E39 and E60 in my younger years 😇
He's absolutley awful. They need to get rid of him. His personality is dry and he can't drive properly. His launches are so inconsistent as he is either delayed or jumps the start
23:22 "Da merkt man mal mal die Kraft von diesem Auto" does NOT mean "see you later" but "here you experience the sheer power of this car." 23:29 "Wow, zieht der weg" does NOT mean "It's a yes from me" but "wow it's pulling away."

Having owned one I would agree. It was utterly sensational, and mine had a rear muffler delete so the sound it made was insane.
💯
They’re just ugly
Too bad that the 5.0 is actually a 4.9L
Best regular 5 series for sure, but not the best M. That title goes to the e34.
People forget how great the E60 is. I miss mine dearly, sensational car. 204mph top speed without a limiter ❤
God damn, the step up from the f10 m5 30 jahre to the f90 m5 is wild
Rwd vs fwd. They'll only ever be one winner off the line.
@@doubleL_Sthe f90 is awd
@@dragomanstefan2458 Pretty sure the "f" is for four in this context.
@@Hansen999 yeah, but you call it 4wd then
There was another gen in between them which they didnt race
6:11 Laughs in German 🤣
Great fun as always. What non German speakers don't realize is they're having fun with Daniel & Mat in the translations...he is often saying something totally different from what you read in the "translations" 😉
I just got myself a f10 m5 stage 2 with 720hp and it just feels soo unreal, legit went from golf mk2 1.6 to that and its one of my dream cars
Let's hope it holds better than the pos in the video 😂
Thats a serious step up.
How have your driving skills kept up in the last 6 months ?😂
Hows the reliability?
@@anttheman6370holding up very good tbh
@@JonnyD3athindeed haha within 2 days of owning it i was already doing 300kmh, and its been holding up
The E60 is just ageless ♥️ the prettiest, the best sounding, amazing performance as well
This has to be the most uncommon opinion I've ever seen lol
@@GirthyPotato👑👑e60👑👑>f10>f90>e39❤️🔥❤️🔥
@Thequrbanov062 you clearly are under the age of 25, m5's have continually became less and less about the motorsport heritage. And not to mention the e34 can still make more power then even the brand new one
The e60 is the lastl manly Bmw. All subsequent models became more girly and round and boring
These are your best vids IMO. Seeing all the generations of a car race and the results are always suprising!
19:02 "ohh there's an another ball" 😂😂😂
It’s insane how powerful the E39 is for it’s time. Best looking too.
I bursted out laughing when they noticed the badge fell off😂😂19:02. They were like “The badge has fallen off!!”😂😂😂
It’s a BMW feature from the marketing department. Whenever they break, all of the badging disappears
The E39 is simply the best looking M5 and one of the best looking saloon cars ever made. It’s also the best to drive.
Only if someone could come up with the E60 engine inside an E39 and make everything work perfectly. That’d be my favourite dream saloon car 😍
Matt, I’ve been watching you for years and have never been disappointed. This collection of Beemers is just the best! I don’t know how you got them together but I’m glad you did. Well done sir and we’ll done to the team!
Actually pretty surprised about the massive increase in performance for every generation of M5.
I love the fact that you you gave us the opportunity to compare the stats side by side, thanks
That f10 gets me excited like a kid on Christmas morning
12:15 the sound of the V10 M5 just flying by, marvellous
All incredible pieces of engineering. Very entertaining drag race.
E60 and E39 are my favourites.
The E60 might take longer to get there, but the journey will sound EPIC!
e39 all time fav it aged so well its crazy
0:39 heat 1 E28 vs E34
5:23 heat 2 E34 vs E39
10:45 heat 3 E39 vs E60
13:43 heat 4 E60 vs F10
18:41 meme point
19:22 heat 5 E60 vs F90
Beat me to it😂❤ bless you my child👍
That E34 is a beautiful car, an upgrade especially in design, although it was also much more expensive than its predecessor.
That E34 design has aged remarkably well!
@@blaketindle4703E34 and E60 both aged woefully well.
When the E34 came out in the states I was 21 years old and I can tell you right now that car looked like a spaceship compared to what was out there at the time...absolutely love the E34 special place for it in my heart ❤️
E60 m5 is my favorite m5. That v10 is just 👌
As a german native speaker i wanna say, that at 17:15 "Oh eat my dust" is wrong. He said "oh das Auto schwimmt" translated to "oh the car is floating" --> steering.
17:22 "Mat is zu früh in den 3. gang hochgeschaltet" ---> "Mat shiftet too early in the 3rd"
16:11 I love the laugh translation here😂😂😂😂
The E60M5 did a great job and the E39 design still timeless
I love the F90 but that E60 is such a good car and that sound like an F1 sooo nice!
I'm sure I heard that that 5.0L V10 was meant to sound like an F1 car.
I'm surprised no one has commented on the fact right before the drive shaft broke. The run before hand he redlighted for sure. Her hands never started to go down until he launched. Not that it mattered ... but still figured someone else would say it. Especially them !
The modern stuff is amazing
But the e34 is something special 👌🏼
@Adam151082, the BMW M5 E60 has some vibes from Cizeta V16T in terms of engine roar.
How'd mat miss the biggest jump in carwow history with the f90 in 2wd mode ? 😅
Crazy cuz yianni would’ve never let that slide, not that Matt would’ve won but still
The E39 M5 is such a beauty. If you ever watched the short movie "The Hire: Star" in the early 2000s, it was hard not to fall in love with this car.
To choose what is difficult all ones days, as if it were easy, that is faith.
It’s nice when you get an e60 m5 that’s running well. It’s such a monstrous car when it is. The difference between a good one and a bad one is enormous.
Agree - day and night😊
My favorite is the E60 M5, especially the video from TopGear back then was really brilliant.
That's my all time fave episode. That made me want to get the car. And I'm glad I owned one for a year haha..
O ronco do V10 da E60 é inigualável 👏👏👏
Uma orquestra sinfônica!
Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence is the key to unlocking our potential.
As a proud owner myself of a 30 Jahre F10 M5 with a healthy driveshaft 😆 I can agree the sound of the Akrapovic Titanium M Sport exhaust is pure heaven, along with Carbon Ceramic brakes as this car also had makes it the best M5 I have ever owned. I had the E39 and E60 in my younger years 😇
I LOVE THIS, WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING?
Also have f10, but competition and like V8 sound with catless downpipes much more then V10 in e60 🤷🏻♂️
Getting an F90 at any stage or sticking with what you have?
Absolutely loved the styling of the E34. 👌🏽
20:57 Daniel definitely jumped! Not that it really would have mattered.
Then and now, the BMW E 60 M5 is my all-time favorite. A deadly combo of beauty and sheer power.
I love Daniel. He was such a great addition to carwow.
He's absolutley awful. They need to get rid of him. His personality is dry and he can't drive properly. His launches are so inconsistent as he is either delayed or jumps the start
Nothing really compares to v10 sound 🔥
Love all the M5s! Thank you guys for putting this race together!
Wish we could see all generations Mazda Miata drag race.
Not a BMW outing without car parts falling out
😮 My first reaction ! Mind boggling ! Matt thank you for such great drag races ❤
23:22 "Da merkt man mal mal die Kraft von diesem Auto" does NOT mean "see you later" but "here you experience the sheer power of this car."
23:29 "Wow, zieht der weg" does NOT mean "It's a yes from me" but "wow it's pulling away."
You painfully missed those jokes.
Anyone notice that the F10 (M5 30 Yara) and the E60 M5 Has actually been on carwow for a long time near when they started drag racing! The E60 M5 was used in a race against an M140i and an 840d in 2019!
Yep
Good call, I remember that race. E60 must rarely get driven.
I gotta say that I like e’m all!
But E39 and E60 and then E28 and then E34 and then F90 and so F10
