A ton of confused people in the comments. The E60 M5 makes 500HP to the CRANK from factory. We used a dyno to measure my M5's power at the WHEELS (Not crank). If you factor in drivetrain loss, my M5 is probably making around 550HP+ to the crank. Hope that clears things up.
Sorry but I disagree I think it’s known to be the standard in the German big sedan for a while . There’s so many videos of ii, drag racing and doing pulls against a lot of other big German sedans. There’s so much coverage on TH-cam of this platform , and here in la/lbc there’s actually quite a bit , a few of the reasons I became disinterested in getting one. I test drive one and was t impressed personally just too little torque and sounded like an infinity g35 from inside the cabin
criminally underrated? Its literally the most known fucking engine platfrom. When you ask any bimmer guy whats your favourite engine the first answer that comes up is "S85". A criminally underrated German big engine would be the 5.5 NA V8 in the early 2006-2012 Mercs, CL500,S500,CLS500, E500. They get absolutely no coverage when its one of if not the most bulletproof Merc NA V8 .
One thing I love about ur channel is that if I had the resources this would be exactly how i would build my cars.(currently making strides towards it)I love the fact that u retro mod u cars and bring them up to date tastefully. They aged so well naturally and pioneered most of the tech used in cars today. So it’s there but the entertainment system and gauge cluster make the car still feel modern while clean and the hidden features and information u can see is great too.
One of my buddies got a manual e60 m5 a few years back. He’s put so much money into it that he could’ve bought an f80 like me in the end lol. But when it runs it’s amazing. Everytime I get to putt around in it I wish I had the money to maintain and purchase one myself. 😂
If you really want to make a big difference to the M5s drivability, you need to do one of our RVS TriboCeramic T6A transmission treatments in it. Makes a huge difference, no more lurching when the trans gets hot and much smoother shifting. And yes, we had an S85 M6 test car we did extensive testing with :) Let us know if you want to try some, we'll gladly send you a treatment to try.
I own a BMW M6 V10, it had 545hp on the dyno after a tune up. When i installed a Straightpipe it dropped around 50hp, although it sounds phenomenal it lost power
You do realize that this will be the best sounding car ever on the channel right? because it just is that: the best sounding car ever @4:54 was that the clutch slipping? So that is 562.67 HP. Mighty impressive
Tell your mate with the 335d to take of the pod filter, you lose 20hp. Have seen back to back dyno pulls with a pod filter and stock. Its not that it flows worse, it just disrupts the maf reading. The alternative is to get the maf tuned off (they have a map sensor). Stock uses a blend of both but you can convert to fully map at the cost of some economy.
this car looks perfect from the performance mods side, but i'd take off the headlights, gauges and also the wrap, also i'd try to convert it to gated and the stock wheels look better.
Finally some E60 content! Going single turbo on my E60 n54 and going Tanzanite blue for the wrap. What’s next for the E60? 👀 Edit: NVM I saw the end lol
For the people talking about 478 to the wheel do you realise that RWD has around 25 28% loss from crank to the wheels? Which in simple math means this 15 year old car pushes with mods tho almost 590 on the engine at worst.
Needs Hartge classic II wheels , a Hamann front lip , Dinmann rear diffuser , Hartge boot spoiler , stock LCI Headlights also someone should really really consider trying to figure out how to code and make a F10 M5 guage cluster work in a E60 M5 doesn't matter if it'll need a piggyback so it makes the car think it's on a stock guage cluster , also someone should really consider trying to make a F10 M6 infotainment system work on a E60 M5 and make it be a replaceable part to the OEM infotainment there's a market for these things and people aren't hopping on it kinda weird most people wanna upgrade the cluster but not these gimmicky ones people want stock looking clusters to fit their cars imagine how perfect a F10 cluster and infotainment would look in a E60 M5 both in E60 stock location Also i would like to add people should stop talking shit about the S65 and S85 being unreliable because it's not with regular maintenance these cars take the abuse up untill it's major engine rebuild which takes a very very long time to come when you service the car way way before the recommended times these cars are like F1 cars not meant to be daily drivers meant to be driven at the limiter for all those laps then after gets a engine rebuild or a new engine these cars literally have engines built to go racing it was never meant to be a be put in a road car people should be happy BMW decided to put these engines into these cars , also these cars get horrible reviews because of Americans because nobody else in the world would you see probably countless S65 and S85 motors being sold because the car it was in was written off or in a wreck nowhere else will you see E9x M3's or E60 M5's at junkyards maybe you'd see one or two but i guarentee in America there's a gigantic amount being left to rot being crushed getting just treated horrifically via the owners of these cars you americans can't look after things it's very apparent you people literally got 5000 VW Golf 5 R32's and the only place I've seen horrible ones are in america the only place I've seen people treat them like normal cars are in america the only place I've seen them with rust is america , America is literally filled with pieces of garbage called americans
I’m a fan of it personally but I can see the headlights throwing off people more than the purple. Throw them together and I see why others aren’t a fan.
Midnight purple is an awesome color. Chris has addressed multiple times that he loves the stock headlights, but just wanted to try something different. Personally, I'd love to see some custom LCI headlights on it, and I'm sure that when he gets bored of the aftermarket ones, he might look into something like that.

It should still pull 400+ hp at wheels.
that makes sooo much sence man thanks
Thanks for the clarification. Was wondering..with all the mods ;)
As an owner of an E63 M6, you definitely should make more videos of the E60. The S85 is the most criminally underrated platform. Dope vid Christian!
There is not that many s85 viewers out there resulting in lesser viewers, he should do n54,n55,b58

@@LoopBooosteveryone does those specific engines already it's kinda nice to see some different content tbh
@@LoopBooostthese engines all over the place. That’s not interesting. You see a single turbo Xdrive B58 you’ve seen them all.

Those headlights really messed me up, it looks so much like a G30 LCI
bring back the stock headlights
and stock gauges
Agreed. Ricing out the car sucks lol
I dunno I kinda like the new ones tbh
or even better the original 2007-2010 LCI headlights (and of course the stock instrument cluster too)
cluster is still fine, but the headlights are proper rice
Love the 335d. hope to see that with hybrid turbos pushing 500hp

Those headlights just don't fit right in my opinion , but of course it has to look good to you , not anyone else. Still a sick build !
Rsaaass😂lmao ❤❤❤w ill oepee wa😊ŵwi
Thank you for keeping the car on the road and doing what you did, it is a rare dying breed. KEEP IT!!!
Floating center caps are the best touch on BMWs that people dont know about until they see it! Great video showing them off
On E85 you'll make 500+. 478 whp on 93 is impressive
They just don't make cars the same anymore just one of the greatest V10 engines ever made purely amazing🙌🔥
Now time for a twin supercharger 👀😁
Nah, double valve spring bigger injectors rev to 12,000 rpm
This is my fav sounding E60 M5! Finally one that actually has some grunt!
This is a really sick build! I love E60 M5s and the nice touches you made to the interior and exterior! Excellent work!
Not for nothing, the lights make it look like the car is a restomod from some coach built private company like Singer etc. Lovely
The headlights and color are DOPE 💯 It’s your car , do what u want. Make it your style 🔥🔥🔥
Almighty V10. This car is so unique .
can’t forget about the green wrap

The bmw e60 body is pure perfection ! Solid car!!!
After watching this one I need another upload asap, always quality videos
Love this e60 differently 🔥
I own a BMW M6 V10, it had 545hp on the dyno after a tune up. When i installed a Straightpipe it dropped around 50hp, although it sounds phenomenal it lost power
You need to retune it for exhaust and you will actually gain power.
Tune with stock exhaust?
A tune up or a tune
This series is refreshing. I seen an E60 5er for sale last about four years ago lol; very hard to track
You do realize that this will be the best sounding car ever on the channel right?
because it just is that:
the best sounding car ever
@4:54 was that the clutch slipping?
So that is 562.67 HP. Mighty impressive
4:26 the turbo spool from the bmw sounds insane
I thought this is NA V10?
I have not watched his other videos, did he modify it and put in turbos?
@@TRHardware that turbo spool was from the car infront
@@TRHardware its his friends 335i thats why i said “the bmw” and not “your bmw”
@@ninjastriker0137335d
Thought it was a F10 or F90 M5 at first cause the turbo spool on those sounds wicked
Great to see how far this car has come👍🏼!
That sound never get old music to the 👂🏾👂🏾s
The sound of joy 🔥🔥🔥
That sound the e60 makes is unreal 🎉
How have i not seen or heard this car when we live really close when you made that right turn in the beginning i knew the area hope to see it one day
What a beautiful piece of engineering! “BMW is betta!”iykyk (like infinity G owners do) lol 😂
Steering wheel replacement would be dope!
Sounds like a race car! BMW “The Ultimate Driving Machine”
I can’t believe a guy like u would put those headlights and cluster
The headlights look great
man thats my dream car right there if i get one imma definitely mod it using parts from ur store
My all time favorite car ... love the M5 🥰
That 35d with a decent stage 2 and the right mods will prolly smoke you from 60-130 mph :D
Always loving the content
The 335d and m5 have flipped power and torque number might be a cool race
Reliable. Thats hilarious
How did the 8.8 swap work out? Any vibration issues and how did you resolve? Thank you.

Edit: NVM I saw the end lol
The only automatic that make a engine sounds good (v10 or not). Good job
I remember Tigere awesome car. Exhaust sick.
Bro plz keep E60 m5 content everywhere you in all cases and buy other one but keep content ❤❤❤❤❤
Idk why everyone hates the headlights they are nice 🔥
Rod bearings, Vanos pump/solenoids, stuck open injectors, SMG clutch throw out bearing and sleeve, SMG pump, leaking oil coolers, leaking differential etc…
Clown shoe of my former neighbor Vince - Always good to see 🔥
Just plain nice.
My favorite car
🙏🏼
this car came a long way
My goodness, that poor E60 M5 what have you done lmfao.
The best BMW made by far! I regret selling my E60 :(
I love E60 ❤️❤️
You need twin turbo for E60 and you beat the G power numbers ❤
It's Sound like a Lamborghini Huracan LOL!!😂🤣
Nice vid bro

Lovely car, get soo tempted by one of these! What are the specs of the EC7-RS? (Size, offset and profile?)
Got a video on my channel that goes over them.
@@VehicleVirals thanks for the reply, I found it. Think I will be getting that setup for my F80 now! (Been mulling over SM10-RS and ARC8-T’s)
How? In stock 507hp?
Read the pinned comment
@@VehicleVirals oh thanks
Feeling the F10 but nobody paying 50k for it, ppl might as well go get the F90 M5
i missed the f10 content
Is that figure after dyno run done with the M button on ?
That e90 is clean what rims are those???
What wheels are on the 335d? They look sick and that m5 is a beauty with the beast!
Not sure the model. But they are ESR wheels.
Manual swap time!
All good, bring back the original lights now
$50k for the F10 M5?? That's a craaazy good price for it, considering its mileage and spec!
For 50k id get a nice used F90 for shure
@@LaKuan, find 2 more, ill buy them... talking crap 😂
@@klokan_jack plenty on the marketplace for 50k but u trippin 🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡
🔥🔥 video, are you still running cats.
So sick! For your xtron head unit, stupid question, it when you play TH-cam through it is it full screen?
You can adjust the screen size.
Amazing. After the Ls goes in mine, I’ll be working the interior like yours
Nice video
Does an E46 sedan have these kind of laser headlights or its strictly the angel eyes mod.
What wheels are those for the E60? They look amazing
Apex wheels
You should do a centrifugal supercharger!
I like the modern headlights
Was that with the m button on
That 35d looks great, but my E60 35d makes 370 ps with 750 Nm :)
Needs Hartge classic II wheels , a Hamann front lip , Dinmann rear diffuser , Hartge boot spoiler , stock LCI Headlights also someone should really really consider trying to figure out how to code and make a F10 M5 guage cluster work in a E60 M5 doesn't matter if it'll need a piggyback so it makes the car think it's on a stock guage cluster , also someone should really consider trying to make a F10 M6 infotainment system work on a E60 M5 and make it be a replaceable part to the OEM infotainment there's a market for these things and people aren't hopping on it kinda weird most people wanna upgrade the cluster but not these gimmicky ones people want stock looking clusters to fit their cars imagine how perfect a F10 cluster and infotainment would look in a E60 M5 both in E60 stock location
Also i would like to add people should stop talking shit about the S65 and S85 being unreliable because it's not with regular maintenance these cars take the abuse up untill it's major engine rebuild which takes a very very long time to come when you service the car way way before the recommended times these cars are like F1 cars not meant to be daily drivers meant to be driven at the limiter for all those laps then after gets a engine rebuild or a new engine these cars literally have engines built to go racing it was never meant to be a be put in a road car people should be happy BMW decided to put these engines into these cars , also these cars get horrible reviews because of Americans because nobody else in the world would you see probably countless S65 and S85 motors being sold because the car it was in was written off or in a wreck nowhere else will you see E9x M3's or E60 M5's at junkyards maybe you'd see one or two but i guarentee in America there's a gigantic amount being left to rot being crushed getting just treated horrifically via the owners of these cars you americans can't look after things it's very apparent you people literally got 5000 VW Golf 5 R32's and the only place I've seen horrible ones are in america the only place I've seen people treat them like normal cars are in america the only place I've seen them with rust is america , America is literally filled with pieces of garbage called americans
Put a twin turbo conversion on it 😌
More e60 m5 content🎉🎉
What are the actual mods on the 335d I have jr2.8 tune on mine what tune he have
Beautiful car, that's a lot of money in mods for not a lot of power though
Maybe not a ton of power gained, but the smiles I gained are endless.
@@VehicleVirals It sounds fantastic, and looks great. I have a W211 E55, the power gained Vs spent on that is a much better ratio lol.
Time to supercharge the e60 and manual swap it. Just think about it bro
Did you do the dyno pull on M mode? 478HP is under the 500 max hp
Power was measured at the wheels not crank.
480WHP = 550+ CRANK HP......
Of course we love E60 contenti ❤️
E85 then dyno 😊
What mods were on the 335?
We love the e60 content but new steering at bad at all
And now I need headers and CSL plenum. 😂

Midnight purple wrap
Any updates on the legal dealings against the sellers of the E60?
Also, digging the 0.5 MPG plate.
