James May ROASTS the DriveTribe V10 BMW M5 estate

Mike took the DriveTribe E61 BMW M5 Touring to James May's pub to see what he had to say about us buying one of the most unreliable performance cars ever made!

James still remembers the rules of the Cool Wall, even though he never did Cool Wall pieces. Top bloke

[johngranahan]

James is so refreshing with his honesty here

[insanegaming]

They should make James may modify a car with every item he would hate and see what monster car he builds

[reliantncc]

"the engine, that's the bit that breaks" some might see this as a problem. Perhaps even a deal-breaker.

[KeepOnRecord]

This car literally roasted itself. James was just there to laugh at it.

"I puked in my car, but it's okay because I filled it with dog poo" 🤣

I quite love getting to see James talking shop about cars and all the little specs he always loves to explain.

Average M5 e60 fan vs average Dacia Sandero enjoyer

[Ikaikaalika]

“You like our car?”

James without hesitation: “no, thank you for watching.”

😂

[berfus]

the way you "fix" the sloppy smg is by treating it like a manual. when you pull the paddle, let off the gas, then go again. this trick works with aventador gearboxes also..

[spiercephotography]

I watched the whole thing with a huge smile on my face. This is quite adorable and lovely to see. Well played to both Mike and James!

E6x M5s are some of the coolest cars ever produced. James was pretty spot on with his early summary of it. 😂

I'd probably rather own an E39 M5, but these M5s were absolutely bonkers.

[Metal-Possum]

James May just casually waving to somebody passing by like he's just some regular old bloke. Definitely the most down to earth of the three, he has nothing to prove, nothing much to complain about. He's quite complacent with how things worked out for him and hasn't let it get to his head like his baboon of a colleague.

“The roof lining _wrote off the car?_ That must tell you something.” 💀

[lougubrious]

Why not track down the actual 6 speed that BMW put in the M5 for the US market?

[ozz]

everyone has to apprecaite the dynamic between james nd mike, they get on like a house on fire

[borizzz]

Imagine just sitting down with James, having a few pint, listening to him telling stories.

[IK-dl]

James remembering the rules of the golden days of Top Gear and the cool wall, oh! it just gave me flashbacks of 15 years ago! James is great to watch honestly!

I love this video because of how casual it is. It was basically just two mates having a chat about a beautiful car and shamelessly plugging their own Gin what more could you want? (Definitely not that Austin Rover jacket that’s for sure…)

[xyroah]

You should have let him give it a drive too. Also the s600 is the superior choice all day. It’s a brilliantly quick car with decent comfort
