M5 Up to speed video, but the E46 M3 in the background is stealing the show🤩😂
it should have been a e39 XD
Nah m5s always better than m3s
It's the most criminally underrated m3 ever
Man exactly , you read my mind, honestly m3 e46 best BMW ever made
If reliability wasn't an issue idc how much an e60 m5 would cost I'd throw my kidney and couple grand at it
I feel like the E60 got bad mouthed a lot.
Grab a 535i. You can get them cheap and make them fast pretty easy!
Jon Moore look at this guys, a guy that would put a fake M badge
You can easily tune BMW E60 M5
@@yuvrajsangha9850 LOL a horribly unreliable poor build quality V10 as it is already and you want to add more power and torque to it?
I officially support you for choosing E39 M5 as the best looking car!!
I disagree in favour of the e34. With the throwing star wheels, small kidney and daytona purple it was just stunning.
if it wasnt for the e60 m5 being a ticking time bomb, it’d rank it the top m5
Yeah. NA V10 and a 6 speed manual. Those rod bearings...
All cars are ticking time bombs.
@@whotf888 6 speed manual should be more reliable?
@@gvidux555 idk to be honest man, I've never owned a BMW, i just suspect that manuals are more reliable, based on the fact that in Europe auto boxes weren't paired up with V10s in a mass-produced car all that often. Those were more for the sport cars and stuff like that. But who knows?
It's a reliable for a super car lol. I don't see anyone hating on any other v10 this much.
Your editor had 1 job, to source M5 clips! 80% of these clips are standard 5 series models wtf 😂🤷🏻♂️
it's like asking to get rekt in the comments, i've seen so many M5 pictures on the internet i can tell a basic 5 series from a mile away :/
Manny Espinosa i know! Im glad i wasnt the only one who noticed this
When he talks about the v8 in the f10, but shows the picture of a I6...
Word
The 5 series is just that good eh :P I myself own a 1992 BMW 525i E34, gots a nice 2.5l M50B25TU in it.
*talks about m5's handling *shows clip of 6 series*
lmfao i saw that
Yup... and every commercial shows non M cars
Talks about 5's Stands in front of a 3
"I can explain"
Talking about M5 F10 v 8 showing 528i 😂
I miss the V10, one of the best sounding engines I've ever heard :(
i love love love LOVE my e39 540 and M5- i truly appreciated this DONUT vid more than you realize....thanks Pumphrey lol
WHO THE FRICK TOOK JAMES’ STOOL, HE NEEDS IT AND SO DO WE
I did
Up to speed with Jessica
egos396 or up to speed with dad
egos396 up to speed with Jessica and my dad
that was a little fast
I am an original owner of a 1991 Red M5, with 144k miles only driven for trips, track and fun! The E34 is killer good, my motto, "1600 by day, M5 by night" -- Fabulous video!
Do an up to speed on Ford Focus! From an economy car to the euro and North American RS, ST, and SVT models it’s a cool story of a car that is leaving us for good in 2019
*RIP*
Ford Europe have said it will stay on In Europe
got ya wish :)
They did it :)
OOF
Why are you standing
Like some of us are getting scared. Take a seat and continue on.
It's really making me feel uneasy
Because this car deserves a standing ovation
He trying to get less weight so he can go faster around the track
Someone stole his chair
We in America may not get all the best car stuff but at least we got #donut
Curtis Campbell dodge demon... Zr1, zl1 1le, gt500, the list goes on.
Liam McKeever we want it all!
Alfa Romeo... just do it already.
I bet it's cheaper to import Japanese cars in India than over here in the States
svfutbol20 is true but hardly anyone do it
Had a E39 M5. Terrific engine, clutch was fragile and the brakes were shockingly lacking in endurance. Loved it to death.
Up to speed on Cosworth
well
is Donut going through some budget cuts? because you’re suddenly standing up
He needs money to get his kid back so they sold his seat
About 98% of the E39 and E60 B-Roll footage you used shows the non-M version but it's fine I guess
and the E28 and E34..
And the f10... what the hell Donut Media
Same car, different engine. Suspension tuning doesn't make it a different car.
Uncle Ruckus but it's a completely different body kit, it's just so pedestrian :'(
Your Moms Hitachi well, I drive a long boi E38 so I guess I am a pleb.
Hi James, I hope you can read this comments... I’m very happy about the M5 video, second time asked for it and you didn’t let me down. My kid went bananas when we watched on Sunday. I’m a truck driver and I’m not home but follow donut media every week. Thanks for do what you do and keep doing an awesome job. Congrats and you guys have my support.
Love your shows. I work at a parts store and have got to hit ppl with facts I learned from you. Keep up the great work. I love you
*shows a clip of an i6 when talking about a V8*
Bring back the V10!!
Downsizing will not allow... :/
JAMES14 PH no
e39 m5 last german mucle car, amin! good job Donut Media , and thank you for this beautiful videos!
Your channel is amazing I'm in love with your bmw episodes
What happened to James chair.. ? That has left him too..
Soni Redx M5 is so insane u need to stand up
#justlikemydad
#Unknownvariable
I guess his chair is like his dad
The M5 has a special place in my heart. Back in the day my uncle had an ‘03 M5 and that thing was a beast. I was 16 at the time and he told me if I learned how to drive manual he would let me drive his M5 and take it for a cruise. After a few weeks of practice I got the hang of it and was cruising down PCH on a warm summer night. Also that experience contributes towards my love of manual cars and why my cars are manual only. God I miss that car.
wow man this is beautiful
Nah, the BMW M5 2018 looks gorgeous, man.
And fast 2.7 seconds to 60 mph
andre yates easy there bud hes talking about a m5
@@asllanmuqaj3854I'm not lying
@@andreyates1555 the best it did was 2.9 sec. That is not bad though
Ugly ass E34 E39 for enough E60 suck and done
Nothing will ever be as Glorious as the V10! What a sound from that thing -

Can you do an episode about pagani?
Ivar Bruijns yes zonda r is the best
Pagani yes bruv
Mine broke down
E46 m3 in the background 👌👌👌👌 E39 M5 was my first true love though. I was just in awe in need for speed high stakes. A 4 door car being so powerful and with such a presence.
Thanks dad for the 50th episode there’s a lot to like great job buddy from your Australian follower not stalker love your work looking forward to the future
Why everytime you show video start from e39,e60 and F10 mostly that just an ordinary 5Series not the 'M' series? (Cmiiw) But, i love this video so much..
Im really happy that im not the only person that noticed all of the regular 5-series BMW's in this video. There was barely any M5 footage, massive shame.
Great personality, great vid. Subbed
very entertaining keep up the good work with the animations in your videos
#unknownvariable
Yvanor HA!!!!!
I feel like this one was missing some more yelling and dad jokes
and a chair
and an actual M5 at the back
...just like my Dad
He was pretty damn loud this episode lol
And a chair, and proper M5 footage
Love your reviews ❤️
The way you tellem its sick man!
Even though this new animation is all well and good, i kinda miss their old, wacky, throw movie clip everywhere editing style man, especially the Steve Carell part, Donut used to have a thing with Steve Carell
Janson Mathew could've gotten a copyright strike
Ramchargers!
The unknown variable joke still going strong! Love it and love these videos. Keep it up, my dudes!
I love it when he makes people in the background laugh XD
OK kind of pissed, due to the fact that you built up the E39 so much... and most of the E39 shots (b-reel) you guys are showing are non-M5 E39s! You can tell because of the standard front fascia and the rear non-quad exhaust 5:51, and the wrong wheels 6:06 (should be Style 65) . Also, at 5:59 the interior shot with the steering wheel belongs to an E38 (7-series). Look it up. BTW I LOVE YOU AND DONUT SO DON'T BE MAD AT ME FOR NOTICING :( :( :(
ThrillerWA09 I KNOW RIGHT?!?!? And he forgot to include that the v8 had Vanos as well.
Yeah seriously wtf!?!?!
Yeah I had a e39 540i with VANOS and it was a pain in my tooshy. Such a fun car, but cost lots to maintain. I wished I was more handy.
ThrillerWA09 yeah, it’s great but it’s a pain if it isn’t maintained and reinforced.
ThrillerWA09 the steering wheel wasn’t necessarily from an e38. That wheel was on the non-sport pkg, non-M e39s... the most boring ones in other words
I remember seeing the F10 M5 in motor trend magazine and literally drooling over it. It was the best looking, most insane, and craziest car I'd ever seen.
LOL! I loved this video. Great job!
My favorite Sedan 😍😍🔥🔥🔥Love BMW and this channel 😁👏🙌🙌
I agree about the best looking M5 being the e39, I sold mine before some years and I still regret this, sometimes I would search for pictures of it and cry to sleep ;(
i know that feel bro.
Ahmed Al Bayati That's so sad. Alexa play Despacito.
The E60 is easily my favourite M5. It is one if the most unique BMWs out there.
121bham k
person fishforce I love my E60 M5 & E63 M6, they’ve been reliable, prestigious and super usable ❤️🚘
Stefan Yasin SMG or manual?
Me too I really want one but I dont have enough money yet
Same
Thanks James :)
I own an E60 M5 (2006) with ESS VT-2 SUPERCHARGER and iPE Exhaust, Carbon Fiber Trunk Lid, E63 M6 wheels, StopTech Big Brakes Kit, Bilstein B16 EDC Coilovers, and list goes on.... Rod Bearings done ESS spec, and the SMG/vanps pump. 140k kilometers and runs like a charm! If you take care of the car and whatever infamous issues it had, it will run perfectly fine. I love my M5 so much. Every time I get behind the wheel and start that beast, I forget the whole world and just go to different world!!
spot on about taking car of the car.
Great video as always! but a lot of the video introductions for the M5 generations where the base models... not the M5 versions. and when you mention the first v8 twin turbo you guys shown an inline 6 cilinder. first time i see a detail as such! keep doing the good work... you guys are awesome!
The amount of footage of ordinary 5 Series used to represent M5s is unsettling. 95% of the stock images are wrong as well. C`mon guys, redo this.
Ya, they’re doing a huge disservice to the best looking M5 ever!!!!
Why does it matter what the B roll is? The info is still being presented
Der Panda You must be blind.
Man, wtf? This isn`t a recipes channel, this is a car enthusiast channel. If we go by what you are saying they might as well put 1984 honda civic since the info is being presented
Just to add to this...did anyone else notice that during the "Razor Sharp" handling segment of the E28 M5 they used a E24 6 series shot? lol BMWS DO NOT ALL LOOK THE SAME @donut media !!!
I looove the E39 M5 so much😍
I love James.
Who miss the chair?
M7MDAN very weird
pumphery standing up is weird
Wow...no jessica or dad joke.....? What the the hell did i even watch.. PS: i think james is on a profetional racing programe..because weight reduction bro
SDMN. XIX Jessica is 100% in this episode, just FYI
Colby Mann a cba to look for it...can you tell me where?
SDMN. XIX the part about wagons. Where he brung home his son Nolan in the back of a Taurus wagon. Jessica makes a cameo.
CJTechnic naaaah...that does'nt count
Greatest freaking KZhead channel of all time.
How about a Up To Speed about the BMW Turbo 2002 😃
The entire 2002 range
1 of my previous employers had 1 of those in his collection, white with the m colors racing stripes
James, have a seat please
How about UP TO SPEED ON JAMES DAD
That would be a short episode
Too bad these don't come with blinkers from factory.
Omar T wow, never heard that one before
I own an f10 m5 and I love the life out of it. I kept up to my friends c7 z06 up till about 118. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
You guys are awsome. Huge fan . Mr P you are the man. But no 7 series video?
These videos are getting so fucking good. Seriously, well done, Donut. You keep me loving cars and laughing hard along the way (#unknownvariable). It’s been a lot of fun to watch Pumphrey’s excitement and auto-journalism skills skyrocket from day one. I know he’s said that Clarkson is his idol but at this point I might rather watch Pumphrey. He’s just so excited about cars and chill about life. To the whole team, thank you for all that you do!
Landon Tilley ... Pumphrey.
MrKAWF You’re shitting me. Well that’s embarrassing. Thanks.
Landon Tilley . No problem we all make mistakes.
This video should be redone, those are not m5s. BMW mob incoming 🤣
I approve of this message. Feels like they made this video in 2 hours and just rolled with it no matter how flawed it is
no one cares
You did enough to reply, so you apparently do
a lot of the cars arent even M5's hehe
E39 M5 is definitely the best M5
Then do you play NFS Hot Pursuit 2? (The E39 M5 was in there.)
Much agreed even though the E60 M5 sounds amazing
No, E34 looks cooler and E60 has a better engine
HyPeRiOn X The E60 is the most uniqe one with its feminine looks and a fitting high pitched V10. But the E39 is of course the best M5. Wife goes in the E60 and i in the E39.
E39 is like a bar of soap. E34 is best M5.
Thanks for doing m5
why is there so much footage of normal 5 series rather than m5s? e39 e60 and f10 were all mostly normal 5s. great episode otherwise
The S38 is so good and it's sound is awesome
I got the BMW e34, and ngl still till now I am in love with the car so much
"Don't be silly you goose..." love it!
And nearly all off the shown engines aren't the correct M5 engine!!!! What the heck?!?
5:36 "BIGGER" --> shows M52 engine
Didn’t show the s85 once smh.
Wtf just happened there? You are making M5 video and 80% of it is filled with normal 5 series footage? I even saw 6 series instead e28 m5??? THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE!
So much funny shit in this video. Love the editing and the fact that I learn something new on every vid. Thanks
Proper introduction
Like always the story is great and the information also. But whyyyyy you guys just use real pictures and videos of the M5 and not the regular 5 series. Not even the picture of the f10 was correct
Up to speed on toyota celica
joecugo no
Ralph Wilkin I can see Scotty Kilmer busting a nut to the video
Ralph Wilkin yesssss
Hey buddy this is the first video of u I've seen and it was great, knowledge amd time line was good and editing with visual n2k numbers and words.. negative the hulk saying oh my penius? Just want to know who is your audience aim at?
Best looking M5 for me too🔥
when is the next episode of "the bestest"????
Jo Oj. Im glad im not the only one
some say he took his e36 drove into the bestest race track
Things are getting intense, he's standing up now
1 thing with the E60 is that if you took the limiter off which was set to 155 mph (210) kph some people claimed it could do 205 mph (330) kph. which is insane for a car that can be bought for as low as around $17,000 for a higher milage
The M5 is my favorite super sedan. It's an amazing masterpiece.
Great video but why is most of the footage is just regular 5 Series that aren’t apart of the M Series?
Almost all of the footage of the e39 generation are shots of the 540i and not the m5 all you have to do is look at the rear badge and front bumper. But still a great video!
I love this guy and I have to agree with him the E39 is the best looking of the models.
I like how James is always super hyped on these BMW videos 😹👌🏾
It's arguably one of the best all round cars ever made. Fast, agile yet comfortable, luxurious and practical.
3:13 is a 6 series :P
GTTwincam E24
Nice!
only standard e39s on the video, only the last one was actually an m5... nice vid!

get well James!
The M1 Procar is soooooo cool. And the animations are too. The e39 m5 is a dream.
Please do one on 7 series and there origins I get it there not that fast but they have had some bad ass engines in them throughout the years lol would appreciate it got a 1982 733i my self would love to see how u guys feel about them
MAKE A VIDEO ON BRABUS OR ALPINA!
I know this video is now more than 2 years old but once in a while I just come back to it to hear JAMES scream THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE!!!
The e60 m5 are such a blast to drive...... when they run.
