yo Brett, you should look into getting a polorizer filter for your camera. Helps getting rid of the reflection on your car and glasses and stuff. Makes it look a lot better!
I feel like a wrap will make a serious difference to the appeal of the car and depending on what colour you go for it could really make the gloss black and carbon stand out
i remember you having some issues with your m140i diffuser too. something i've learnt is that with fibreglass / carbon fibre parts is that they can get warped during shipping due to changes in heat. what i'd do is the following - heat the parts up using a heat gun and try make it take the shape you need. the heat might just be the trick to get proper fitment - might work, might not, but its always worth a try
Carbon fiber is hard, harder than plastic. Therefore it will always be hard(er) to fit. Pro tip: If you really struggle you could take the bumper from the car and then fit it 😉😏
That M5 is gorgeous! One thing that's not really my thing is not using proper OEM parts for a car like this. I get that you want to mod it but on a car as classy as an M5 I don't think going for ill fitting/cheap alternatives to BMW OEM. Please don't take this as some kind of attack as I still love your videos but some part of me is cringing slightly when I see "aftermarket" stuff on cars like these. For example with the door handles you meantioned wrapping them. Why not wrap the fender trim in gloss black instead?
Forget the mods, how much u spend on repairs? Genuinely interested, i want one but the very real world problems with thd f10 had me scared to buy. Whats your opinion 2years on if the car hasnt killed you already?
new subscriber here, lovely looking f10 you have there. i have been after one for around 18 months but prices for the spec i want (16 plate comp pack) have gone through the roof so i ended up with my second choice which is a jaguar xfr supercharged 5.0 V8 i picked it up last week and its awesome. i still have a soft spot for the f10 m5 so im glad i found your channel,will follow your progress. keep up the good work
Hi Brett. Nice start in the great British weather. Your making your M5 unique to you. Excellent choice. These 3 touches are a vast improvement over factory. You’ll sort the rear diffuser easily enough. How about a alpine white wrap? Black accents. More please more often. U.K. loving your awesome channel. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I bought the same diffuser for my M5 dude, the instructions actually said to remove the bumper for fitting and to drive some screws through the tabs for a strong hold
@@BrettBarnesYT I did exactly the same as you 😂, was hoping it would be as easy as clip off and clip on but I had to fart about with taking the bumper off and it fit well in the end
The m5 is coming along nicely. I have a f06 640 and finding aftermarket parts that fit well is a nightmare. Wrapping the chrome handle inserts didn't seem to last well so I'll be respraying the original one to Colour match along with the chrome front wing indicator surrounds. Looking forward to seeing this develop. 👍
You should wrap it in velvet blue that would look cool maybe even gold-painted callipers similar to the carbon-ceramic brake callipers with the white interior
Great video as always mate . What about painting the original side blinkers in gloss black . The ideia was to have that 100 % fitting Thanks for sharing . Inspirational as always
These aftermarket rear diffusers will never fit OEM. You need to take the whole rear bumper off and fit it whilst fastening it with self tapping screws. I had parts from R44 Performance and they have a video on how to fit a rear diffuser. Check it out
I have a boot lip spoiler to fit onto a 2 series but with the amazing UK weather being so cold and wet at the moment and my car being outside, I wasn't sure if it would be the best time to do it. Just like you did here I was going to use the supplied 3M tape. Any advice on waiting for warmer weather or should this be ok?
How do you find the handling/weight of the M5 against your M140 mate? I had an M140 and now got an M4, but fancy this generation of M6 - just not sure if it'll feel boaty compared to what I've had in the past. Also suspension-wise, harder than the M140? To be honest my M4 is a little harder than the 140 but its much better damped so it doesn't sound like the cabin is rattling to bits when you hit rough surfaces. Would expect the 5 and 6 to be softer again which appeals a bit.
The M 5 handles way better than my 140 however, the 140 was bone stock and the M5 has H&R lowering springs. Also the M5 is a M car so you'd expect it to be a bit better. I'd say it handles well for what it is but I'm yet to push it hard until i get the tyres on this weekend
You will not be disappointed with an m6 (either 2 door or gran coupe) Whilst I will admit that they aren't really B road friendly, they are a different class in luxury and performance on A roads and above.
yo please always reverse onto your drive, reversing out visibility looks bad. id hate someone to side swipe you because you cant see leaving your own place
Hi Brett, Firstly love your videos mate keep up the good work. I currently have a M140i but really like the look of these M5's what's the general cost differences etc that you've found since owning, is it substantially more expensive ?
Maybe because I'm getting older but putting some of that stuff on there ie the blacking out the badges and stuff n that spoiler is making your car look like it's a fake M5.
Just decided to subscribe again. Couldn’t be bothered to stay on for just another creator doing an M140i. Even though this is not one of my favourites it is at least a proper M-car and hopefully makes for very different content. I‘m kinda excited.
Nice motor. I cashed in some crypto recently. head over heart moment ? Love BMWs, had my fair share but never a full fat M car. 2nd hand car market is massively inflated. Need to find a bargain 🤔😃🤷🏼♂️
Super bright LED number plate lights looks silly, looks like you desperately want people to look at your number plate for some reason. Makes it look like a billboard.
I found some on amazon last year...only 2 left when I got them. They were £24 half price. Hard to find things for the F10. I just swapped the gloss surround on to the original OEM part. Still wasn't a perfect fit but looks good a year later.

Yeah i understand but it’s beneficial to work with companies to help my channel and build a nice community! 😀
Very well put and I agree completely. There’s a part of me that enjoys watching and another part that’s screaming please god no 😂
😂😂😂😂😂

++ want to know as well planning to buy one soon m5 f10
Looking good,
Def stealth it out,
-rear window tints (limo)
-smoked headlights
-wheels gloss black
Rear carbon diffuser with the laser light in the middle would go hard on this
Noooooo

Brett you should be so proud of yourself .... gorgeous 140 and now an even secret m5 .... Good luck to you sir
Thank you! 👊🏻
Are you thinking if doing a speaker system upgrade to the Harmon Kardon.
Potentially yes
Starting to look mint mate. Great vid as always
F10 m5 .. best of the modern shapes ... although im alittle biased as have one in the same colour as yours 😜
Been waiting for this! love the car!
❤️
take good care this car bro, im getting a 330i next year hopefully. looking forward to what your gonna do with this car!
Lush car!!
Keep them coming mate!
Hopefully 👊🏻
Can’t wait for the remap gonna make big power 👍
🚀🚀🚀🚀
Hey man, after taking the badge off the back what do you spray on the car to clear the glue? My BMW 118D is white so don't wanna damage the paint
It’s called sticky stuff remover
Really like the OEM+ stuff, definitely the right way to go on a car like this!
100%

I had that diffuser issue with my one. Mine came with self tapping Drew's that held it it. Had to take the whole bumper.
Great video as always mate .

Just use a heat gun and you should be fine! Mines still stuck on :)
should fit some M4cs/gts style rear lights as well as retrofitting the digital instrument cluster
sheeshh nice one bro!!!

What did you do with the 1 series ? Is it for sal e
Look at my channel mate, couple videos before explains everything
Toujours sympa les modifications 👍🙂
What do yo use to get the old residue off ?
Sticky stuff remover it’s called mate
What song did you put in what is the name
Looks sick 🔥
Thanks mate !
Very nice car and I like the subtle mods.. also like the colour I don’t think I’d get it wrapped if I owned it.
The colour is nice but doesn't pop!
great video Brett
Thank you!
yo please always reverse onto your drive, reversing out visibility looks bad. id hate someone to side swipe you because you cant see leaving your own place
Visibility isn’t bad to be honest! Could be worse :)
New to your channel, so hey 👊🏻 the cars epic man
Thanks man!
Before you go stage 2 I'd talk to a lot of M5 owners as they're as fun as they are and known for catching fire
It’ll be standard power mate
Hi Brett,
Firstly love your videos mate keep up the good work.
I currently have a M140i but really like the look of these M5's what's the general cost differences etc that you've found since owning, is it substantially more expensive ?
he has only had it for a week or 2
I’ve had it for 2 months or so! Took a while to reveal it
Respect from Camborne z4 g29
Love the new car but why only put 25 pounds worth of petrol tho?
Haha! Wondered how long it’ll be until people noticed 😂
Gutted that defuser didn’t fit mate
Yeah same 😞
BMW M5 has always been my favorite. How old are you btw?
20
@@BrettBarnesYT damn an M5 at the age of 20!!!
Yeah 😂! Proud of myself if I’m honest
May sound like a stupid question but what has happened to slink modz?
Not a clue, disappeared
@@BrettBarnesYT oh shame, they seem to be great 😕
They never fit to be fair you normally have to take the bumper off and tap the tabs to stop them popping out, same with M2s 240is all been like that
Yeah my mistake :(
Maybe because I'm getting older but putting some of that stuff on there ie the blacking out the badges and stuff n that spoiler is making your car look like it's a fake M5.
I always thought its me that gets the parts that wont clip in or fit properly!! Annoying!
Very annoying
Fitment with clips is the biggest problem on all aftermarket carbon parts... I hate it!
Nice car 😎
Lol “Digged” 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Take it to see tommy @ verlocity tuning
Nice !

Brett what do say at the start of the video ???? Me n the hubby ent got a clueeeeeeee 👊🏼
So guys hello and welcome everyone back to another TH-cam video 😂😂😂
Thank you 😂🙈
Mods = +1000 hp
Atleast get a full tank bro😩
Wondered how long it’ll take for someone to notice
Just filled mine up.. £109. Should last me the week 🤣
🔥🔥
That m5 is looking soooo sexy so jealous makes my old 330i look like a clio :(
Oh dear you should have got the parts and retrofitted a set from an E90 it’s so much better looking they are too bright.
In person they are not too bright, just perfect 🤩
Did he only put £5 petrol in
I also wouldn't remap it. They drive like a bag of spanners in winter with a remap. Just too much power. Biggest mistake I made when i had one
Mine will be kept stock
Nice
Cheers
You should really be using super plus unleaded in this not normal unleaded. Won’t get the best from car using normal unleaded
I literally did put that in and always have 🤣🤣
only 1 day late x
🤣🤣🤣
Code doesn't work
For what product
Wher you from bud ?.
Cornwall
@@BrettBarnesYT thought so where bouts bud ! I'm in Hayle
Why an earth would you put unleaded in?!
Save buying the costa next time at Tesco and buy some proper fuel
I’m confused, I put premium super unleaded 😂😂? Look again mate
How to ruin your m5. Good video! 👍
Didn’t ask x
Get a seat Leon cupra
Not going to lie I’ve had one for a month and wasn’t impressed at all
Looks worse. Maybe once it’s wrapped will look better 👍
why u keep saying they kindly sent this products out??? u bought them lol
I didn’t buy them? Why would I lie ? What’s the point 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good job these aren’t super bright then 🤣! Just white
Brett..do these brighter lights effect the reverse camera at night? Too much glare in reverse?
@@drivetrain1746 not that I’ve experienced bud!
This is just about best colour you can get definitely don't wrap it. Big big mistake
u put £10 fuel in a m5 lol
Did it to see how many people actually watch it properly 😂😂😂
Expensive car and firts put some cheap ebay parts on it…
Right? Where else should I get those wing covers in gloss black? Find me some, I’ll wait 🤌🏻. They do the job and are cheap!
I found some on amazon last year...only 2 left when I got them. They were £24 half price. Hard to find things for the F10. I just swapped the gloss surround on to the original OEM part. Still wasn't a perfect fit but looks good a year later.
Quite a boring car
