M5 Up to speed video, but the E46 M3 in the background is stealing the show🤩😂

Your editor had 1 job, to source M5 clips!
80% of these clips are standard 5 series models wtf 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

If reliability wasn't an issue idc how much an e60 m5 would cost I'd throw my kidney and couple grand at it

[arlingtonautogroupsales]

I officially support you for choosing E39 M5 as the best looking car!!

About 98% of the E39 and E60 B-Roll footage you used shows the non-M version but it's fine I guess

[danielarreolajr]

if it wasnt for the e60 m5 being a ticking time bomb, it’d rank it the top m5

[carlosgallegos]

I miss the V10, one of the best sounding engines I've ever heard :(

We in America may not get all the best car stuff but at least we got #donut

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

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!

Had a E39 M5. Terrific engine, clutch was fragile and the brakes were shockingly lacking in endurance. Loved it to death.

[shrimpoh]

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.
