A sound that never ages.
It does, like wine
@@ryskbotvladimirivanovic1767 your absolutely right on that one. If you haven’t I really recommend you to check out him driving the z with a s85 stuffed under that hood 😈 thing just flys
That v10 has a german sound to it idk how to describe it 😂
What about the Lamborghini Multipla SV?
@@gabrielgilguitar5407 Z? Like a Nissan Z? Damn bet that’s a rocket
The v10 just never disappoints
I think a few of them did the day their warranty ran out.
@@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13 😂😂
@@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13 Only if they were not maintained.
@@machtschnell7452 i like how u put that "Only" in the beginning As if e60 M5 would not require putting half a budget of some country to maintain
@@mishanya9495 it did when the person didn't let it properly warm up before reving it up to the moon
God bless that crazy guy who had the idea to put a naturally aspirated V10 in an executive saloon (and in a wagon too)! 😍😎
it was a halo car to show that they can put F1 tech in a street car (while Mercedes and Ferrari couldn't)
@@robertseitz2407 Inspired by one of the most amazing F1 cars ever.
@@robertseitz2407 This comment reeks of brand snobbery. Of course Ferrari could and did. Of course MB could. They hire away each other's engineers frequently
@@MrCarGuy bro who hurt you lmao
@@MrCarGuy Not saying Ferrari couldn’t but they have never put a V10 in a road car .
4 years of ownership and all I can say is, if you have a chance to own and the funds to maintain one of these cars, just do it. Still as incredible as the first day I bought it!
I own an m6 2006 a beautiful car to have, so special
7 years of ownership never stranded on the side of the road it is actually very reliable for me never breaks down the only thing that scared me is the mpg
@@veialyyad4816 What was your MPG and driving style like?
Had mine for 13 years.... Still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.
@@kb4777 whats maintenance like now?
I finally bought one in September after 7 years of desperately wanting one. It didn’t meet my expectations. It broke them. It’s one of the most rewarding car experiences I’ve ever had. The car isn’t perfect, and that’s it’s charm. You come to crave it’s flaws. It delivers super car tactility and emotions. It’s beyond visceral. At the top end it sends your heart into a rapid-fire pump. Treat it like a super car, maintain it like a super car, take care of it like a super car, and it’ll take care of you. I’ll never sell it. Ever.
how many miles? im thinking of gettin one next few months
@@ShadowKSG 91k on it when I bought her. I have her up to 94k already. No problems except a dirty steering angle sensor that set off some lights and just needed a cleaning with alcohol
@SoleMate That sir is exactly how you treat an E60 M5. I have my E61 M5 now for almost 3 years now. Bought it with 84k km. Now it’s at 105k km. Still an experience every time I drive it. The sound dominates. I’ll never sell it. Ever. 😉
@@eddiefumar Hell yeah man that’s awesome to hear. Estates aren’t really sought after here in the US too much but man that’s one I wish we got! Truly a unicorn experience in an E61 M5
@@solemate6839 it's a gem car that I can't see beaten in its own category and that's what a halo car is all about, its for the brand culture I wish they made a v12 m8 and b7. One day dct freevalve s85 5.5L+/- (new porche gt3 high compression air intake system?) NA drivetrain goat? dry sump?
Ive hit 340kmh with the e60 m5 on german autobahn this car is not normal. Absolute beast of a car
fuel gauge going down in real time : D
It has the factory limiter, that’s why.
Its normal as in factory stock.
@@Illyrian_Adventures yup
i mean nissan gtr back then hit 350 or 360 kph. so BMW is still shit lmao
I used to own an M6 with that engine. Unforgettable experience. I would buy it again anytime.
Why did you sell it
What about maintenance costs? Did you have the SMG transmission?
@@Hackerproo I sold mine due to electrical problems.
@@Hackerproo Family, babies, etc. Needed more space.
@@zakzwijn8410 I did have an SMG, I only changed the clutch once, didn't cost much, but was a low mileage car. I did have to change the gas throttles though, couple of them. Being abit sensitive with electric, fake errors. But the whole experience is awesome.
Thank you for being one of the only reviewers on YT that is knowledgeable enough to be able to put these cars in S6. So many reviews are not a correct representation of what the SMG III is actually capable of.
Ceramic brakes were not an option on these cars. Some confusion comes in because the brake rotors are sometimes referred to as "composite" because they are iron discs with aluminium hats. People confuse this "composite" with the carbon ceramic "composite", but of course they are completey different things.
One of my favourites BMW 🔥🔥🔥
E60 M5 all day! Legend
E60 M5 all day every day!
The gear changes at the top end of the rev range is extremely hard! Even better, the fuel gauge moved quite a lot in such a short drive!!
One of the best sounding engines ever
Absolutely beast of a BMW. Stunning V10💪
I remember when my dad had the M6 E63 and it was absolutely astonishing. But, I also remember the point in time when it started deteriorating quite badly and quickly, especially the Vanos. Nonetheless, it is a one-of-a-kind legend.
Without limiter was about 204-206mph if I remember. Awesome machine. Plagued by maintenance
Crazy thing is no M5 after this generation could hit those numbers without limiter not even the current gen which is crazy to think about
I thought it could only do 190 without limiter no?
@@FLASH2004. nope my stock m5 topped out at 202 without a limiter
@@woodendoor8854 gps speed?
You're giving in-depth analysis while driving at 270km/hr ! Respect Bro
I saw one of these on the road recently in silver, what an absolute weapon. They copped a lot of grief for the looks, but they still look modern and have a real presence to their look in 2022. But the sound was simply awesome, as it opens up it almost starts to sound like a Gallardo V10
No matter how depressed I am starting my e60 m5 always puts a smile on my face
I had one 10 years ago and it was a monster on the road, also broke my heart and wallet with problems.
It was fun & a surprizing end bc you resumed filming till the fuel thing thanks Max for the vid,I love BMW
The most insane thing about this E60 m5 is how HIGH the top speed is if you give it enough room, give 'only' 507hp. It will literally blow pass 310kph
Gotta love that V10 sound 🔥🔥
Ive got an E60 540i and it's a lovely car to be in. The gearbox is a bit shite for town driving but the car lasts really well overall. In my 5 years of ownership I've only had to replace a thermostat o-rning and the starter.
I have the same year model but with only 28K miles. Dream car, can’t get enough of it.
I just bought my second one , and I love it ! Now I have twoo M3 e46 and twoo e60 M5 ‘s
*M539 Restorations has entered the chat*
That is the ultimate BMW M5 !!! It is definitely a legend 😍❤️
I'm 3+ years into ownership now on my 09 m5 43k miles and shes probably been my most reliable car I've owned!!
I want it. M3 e92 and M5 e60 never gets old ❤
Love your videos on V10 and V12 is my favourite motors
I have one and I look forward to drive it every weekend. Def not a daily driver with the maintenance cost and gas mileage. Best things you can do for these cars is proper warm up procedure (it's even written in the manual) and frequent oil changes.
It looks just so clean and gorgeous
Huge thanks for this car and video!!!very good!
I was crazy enough to buy two of them! In 8 years and 30'000 km besides oil changes that i did on my own, just a clutch, gas pump and 1 ignition coil went bad
This car never gets old.
Straight up, had to give a thumbsup 👌 Epic V10 engine
Your review sums up my own experience with my dad's E60 M5 W/ SMG tranny. Same exterior, but different interior of black leather seats, alcantara fabric, and wood trim. Transmission is a little sluggish when you are driving it slowly, but when you get the engine oil heated enough to lubricate the engine for high speeds (and the M mode) the car is wonderful. Mileage is terrible obviously but it is a fun car. Planning to buy it off from him in the future as it is only 27k miles, but torn to use it for fun vs. letting it in appreciate in value. If I am correct, the specific F1 engine this V10 was based off was the Williams Racing-BMW P84/85 3L V10 used in the FW26 & FW27 cars which could rev higher due to its smaller displacement. Drivers included Juan Pablo Montoya, Ralf Schumacher, Mark Webber, and test driven Sebastian Vettel before his Red Bull dominance. Useless info? Maybe, but I like to know that the S85 engine had roots in competitive motosport.
my all time favourite BMW M5....a proper enthusiast car
This car and engine are legendary!
*BEST BMW M EVER (V10 engine amazing!)* 🖤👍🏻☝🏻 From Russia with LOVE!
This car never gets old. They dont make them like they used to.
One of the BEST sounding BMW ever. A classic BMW M5
Poco se puede decir de un V10, te deja sin palabras y más en este E60. Brutal. Eso sí, su talón de Aquiles fue la caja de cambios.
Being taken hostage by youre seats🤣😂🤣 Always nice videos. And the V10 will never get old.
I need to have drove this machine before my days are over... It's on the bucket list!!!
Sick V10 Sound 🔥👌
To be honest, E60 M5 is one of my all time favorite due to Chris Bangle’s design and it’s S85 high revving engine.
Amazing car ❤️❤️ much love from Paris, France 🇫🇷
You should test Sreten's (M539 Restorations) manual E60 M5!
This beast will forever be a legend and with the right setup (custom exhaust, full carbon intake and plenum) it's the best sounding V10 ever (and I'm including LFA and CGT). The gearbox is incredible once you learn it, those automatic side bolsters are epic and it's aged like a fine wine. Only idiots moan about reliability which can be remedied for a couple of thousand pounds (which is more than acceptable on a £100K 4 door supercar when adjusted for inflation). Will drive it all day even over my 750hp M5 Competition and M4 Competition, driving experience is incredible.
You're quite right that it would sound absolutely amazing. However, better than the LFA? With that, I disagree, nothing will ever top that I think. That car sounds like it was made on some alien planet and has a hyperdrive built in (exaggerating for effect of course). There is no arguing differences in taste of course but still I felt I had to try in this case. It would likely at least match the CGT, yes, perhaps surpass it indeed but it would be close. Nice cars you have by the way! If I may ask, what modification did you make to get to 750HP on the M5 comp? I had an M2 comp up until 2 years ago and still mis that car enormously, loved the way you could throw it around and it just took every corner you fed it on the chin
That's a nice car. Thanks for sharing.
That sound is the best sound ever 👍
One of many dream cars and it's crazy
You live with V10 and he says listen my car sounds good I say ok and my ears fall in love with it.
Legendary v10 .. amaizing technology
Absolutely beautiful car
I remember the F1 car this was based on, the old BMW-Williams V10 that Juan Pablo Montoya drove, that thing was loud af (amazing sound) - it just ripped it down the straights.
This is my favorite car : BMW E60 M5. Legend
I love this car so much 😍😍
still one of my all time favorite cars man
This is my dream car, love it
You are single handedly responsible for me falling in love with estate cars now🤣
I absolutely love your narrations! Very knowledgeable, and you should have a TV show of your own. Absolutely fantastic information and love your enthusiasm!
This car has been my dream car since it came out when I was like 6 years old seeing it on a magazine. I will achieve my dream car with my own money in near future.
This car is a legend already.
Legend For Ever
damn even the down shift have amazing sound
My dad bought the 06 M6 convertible black/black with a manual right when the new model year was available. Such a great sounding car, but the interior was just so boring and dull that he never fell in love with it. He sold it a year later and overcorrected the interior gripe with a Maserati Granturismo which just broke down constantly 😂
Thank you for honoring the legendary M5
Sound-WOW! Awesome
Even when it’s an old crappy car like the multipla I would just watch for this guy
Very good review.
Those Shifts 🤤
A BMW LEGEND 👍it's still amazing !
Love every minute and second spend hearing this motor. Music note.
this gearbox is insane!! so brutal
By far it's the best looking M5 ever made and that V10... oh boy...
Carbon ceramics weren't offered on as an option on this car. It was in the early 2000s when this car came out. Only hyper cars had them back in those days. I had a bmw m6 v10 I kept the exhaust nearly stock. I removed the secondary cats, resonator and installed electrical cutouts. So I had it loud and quiet when ever I wanted to. I've always loved the SMG! I miss it soo much! I have a c7 z06 auto and when hitting redline in manual mode it shifts hard! Not SMG hard. But it's noticeable. I miss my m6!!
I love how you can see fuel gauge droping down
Probably my favourite BMW, I know I'll drive it one day.
This has to be my favorite bmw
Lovely and Great 👍🏻👍🏻😃😃 This car looks sooooo cool I really love it ❤️😍❤️
The best BMW ever built! Tell me I'm wrong! Current M5 Owner. Still NOT for sale!! Such an incredible vehicle, and a must experience for any BMW enthusiast.
It is the best M5 ever! The ones that throw rocks at it are the ones that don’t or didn’t understand the platform one bit. I’ve own M cars all my life: E30 M3, E39 M5, F80 M4. All quality M, be that as it may, back in 2001 my brand new E39 M5 throttle bodies failed 6 months into owner ship. Did that prompt me to talk smack? No! Own 2 E60 M5s. Sold all the other M cars but not my V10s! Nope. Damn awesome cars!
One of the most brilliant cars ever
Possibly the fastest 4 door saloon ever built, even until this day. As far as I know it can go over 330kph (over 205mph).
Watching that fuel gage go down so effortlessly 🤣
Nice videos bro!!
Nice video mate
The Real legend
Good review 👍🏻 Please, make a video review for BMW E34 alpine B10.
IMHO one of the last legends.
my grandpa had the e60 525D and i think that E60 really was the best 5 series (when you look at time context)... so well made!
Well.. no. The E39 was, but the E60 was quite a step back from that.
Very clean M!
i live this engine, technic, design, i love this car
I have a -05 myself… Absolutely love it!! Great videos as usual!! 😎👍🏻
Do you have to push the m button to really wnjoy it? I drove one and it was alittle underwhelming, but later I read that you need to push a button to get all the power
@@christian_urocar It is a revs car, to really enjoy it you have to rev it out regardless which mode you are in.. Were you able to do that during your test drive? Also fun fact it makes a bit more torque when the M button is not pressed, I guess they still wanted you to have all the torque in the normal mode, just with restricted power and thus not as rev-happy..
@@christian_urocar You needed to push the M button to activate MDM mode or else if it’s not activated the car has 400hp instead of the 507hp
Better is the North American market 6MT.
@@Chris-cy3uq yea I drive it down the street by myself and revved it up to about 7k in 1st ,2nd and maybe alittle of 3rd, it sounded ok, the shifts were slow because Change the shift speed of the SMG, so I drive it normal and slow SMG , so I was underwhelmed. I went back home and did home work and found there is a button for both shift speed and m ( full power) . Sucks it was 11k obo for 100k miles example
Dream car ❤️
Great colour
12:23 during the autobahn blast if you watch the fuel gauge carefully you can see it going down. 🤣Love the V10.
My favorite car! Beautiful! 🙂😍
