The M5 is like marrying a beautiful woman whose last 2 husbands died mysterious deaths. Could be nothing.... could be the worst decision you ever make. Exciting though.

I took a "risk" 4 years ago. No major issues, mostly maintenance stuff. 40k special miles later all I can say about reliability is that the haters that never owned one will always be "experts"....

[fdhghv]

Unless you've been involved with one of these things, it is impossible to know just how special they are.
Only the most discerning of enthusiasts will understand why this particular car is such a phenomenon.
Living with the E60 M5 is as much a relationship as it is ownership.
And the older she gets, the better looking she will become.

What did BMW think when they sold the manual variant in the only country that less then 5% of the population even saw a manual in their life.

[josesanchez]

Being a former owner of the E60 M5 with a $11k check engine light, I still think it is the greatest BMW ever made

[Makeh]

By far the coolest M car ever made! And it sounds amazing! That V10 is a real screamer. I’m a fanatic Merc guy, but E60 M5 turns my head.

[jmhellison]

I'm honestly VERY tempted to get one of these cars. The rod bearing issue doesn't sound bad as long as you take care of it.

[lash]

I’m glad you didn’t talk about the reliability issues and concentrated on the positives because it really is an epic car. Manual gearbox V10, RWD, sedan. 👍🏾

I've owned dozens of BMW's over the last 25 years, you either get a good one or a bad one. I had ones where the window and door actuators broke all the time and others where I never had a problem. You'll know in a few months if she is a good one or bad one

[sofoclesconfucius]

My Dad still owns his from new with SMG!! here in the UK. The only issue he ever had was a faulty alternator which was replaced under warranty! It’s currently on 167000 miles. It’s his daily driver No leaks, no Vanos issues. Believe me he doesn’t drive it like a 60 year old man😨. Always stick to the service intervals from BMW!!

Definitely add the facelift taillights in a future mod!

Mike: i know it's reputation, and i'm willing to take a risk.


Scotty Kilmer: oh boy

..."the e60 M5 has a soul and purity, ...that no other M5 can come close to". I certainly agree, ..and will raise you one, ...the e60 M5 has a soul and purity that is unmatched by any other BMW M car - Period!

Edit: I'm bias too, ...my 2010 Blk on Blk M5 has mufflers deleted with 4" tips, ...and it sound every bit of Formula 1. One has to hear it to understand it....the engine literally sings above 4000 RPMs.

[RonHaslam]

This is the car that only true car guys know.

[hassanfarid]

I own an 08 e60 m5 manual and have owned it for 7 years. Daily drive it and it has 116k I love the car. Many people offer me to buy it but I just can't get rid of it. Best car I have owned and definitely think I will keep till I die!

[kmac]

I feel that BMW M cars are the best (All Around) sport cars made! Hands down

[nurullahsavur]

Imagine if Mike's key malfunctioned and didn't open the trunk while he sat there 😂

[JezJerzy]

Nice car, but true nightmare regarding maintenance costs... faulty SMGs, rod bearings to be replaced every 80k + horrible fuel economy... but still a nice car (to own in "collection", because it cannot be rather daily car).

[PIPSBURGHVIEWS]

Very informative video. I think I am going to need to experience the legend for my self!
