I Bought a BMW M5 V10 with 'NO MECHANICAL ISSUES' Sight Unseen. It Came with a Loud Engine Noise???

I bought the S85 based BMW M5 with the terrible V10 Engine and SMG Transmission with 160,000 miles. The auction listed it with NO Mechanical damage. Upon first startup I heard an interesting noise, which I would definitely consider some sort of mechanical damage so I took it to Eurocharged Orlando to get it diagnosed. Here's what they said...

The V10 M5 is like a beautiful middle-aged supermodel with a crippling cocaine habit

Im surprised that diagnostic tool didn't start laughing at some point

Sam: "The Vanos is what can get really expensive on these cars"

Rod Bearings: Am I a joke to you?

[legohead]

i recommend rod bearings on these at 80k miles. Ive done several in this range and not a single one i thought "oh those didnt need to be done". If you catch them before they start knocking its not that bad cost wise, once it starts knocking you probably have a damaged crank which will exponentially increase the cost.

I've tried to convince myself these cars aren't that bad so many times. I just can't do it. Just too many major factory defects. Most unreliable performance sedan ever? I say yes.

Unreliable? Yes!
Expensive parts? Yes!
Beaten on by previous owners? Yes!
Would I sell mine? Hell no!

The sound and experience are worth it to me.

I have an 07 m5 smg 147k miles fbo 510rwhp. Daily driver for 10 years. Runs strong af. Knock on wood. Bought with 50k miles at carmax with a great warranty to 125k miles. Replaced rod bearings and various other things. Still love the car. It’s pretty quick. Especially from a roll. Top end is strong 💪🏼. Very comfortable etc. Link to dyno video is under my name. Hear it scream to 8500rpm catless evolve long tube headers and RPI gts exhaust etc

[RaztechPowersports]

I’ve almost bought one of these on multiply occasions, don’t let the cheap price suck you in. Great vid as always 🔧🏁

[onilovni]

It's a miracle if that M5 could reach 160k miles in the first place. The previous owner was playing russian roulette.

[riadbenkabba]

13:31 that smile he did means you gon pay a shit ton on fixing this beamer Sam lol

[Stephen-G]

That was the quickest buyers remorse ever lmao. I remember when I bought my 08 M5 interlagos blue, it didn't take me long to realize that I was in real deep. Took me 1 1/2 year to get rid of it. Definitely a learning experience after dropping 10k.

I just hit 150, 000 miles and she has been an amazing car. Coated rod bearings, New trans, New smg pump

[brandonchappell]

The steering angle error comes up after disconnecting battery, just go full lock either way and will clear 😉👍
