I bought a cheap BMW F10 M5, here’s what’s wrong with it

[@t8506]

There is no such thing as a cheap F10 M5 as buyers will soon experience!

[@SonGoku-fc7ci]

Bro I'm planning on getting 1 next year and let me tell you I'd rather spend money fixing it than paying a shit ton of money for a new one

[@209smokie9]

​@@SonGoku-fc7cifor real it is a solid car. I'm planning on getting a 15 or a 16 m5 soon. Don't mind spending a extra 10k to get everything up to date

[@drebuckzz878]

just get 5% tint on the sides and rear & 35% on the front it’ll stop the dash from melting

[@ebayseller37922]

Make sure your ac lines are holding pressure. The ac lines and condenser have many rubber seals that can fail and even the condenser can develop leaks. If there’s no pressure or refrigerant in the ac lines, the ac compressor will not come on.

[@limitless.M5]

After recharging it seems to hold well

[@dayalanvelan3070]

This is such a beautiful and amazing car. Engineering masterpiece. Greetings from South Africa.

[@MatthewJay80]

My F10 M5s AC broke twice within two years of owning it. I also experienced several other issues, which resulted in $12000 of repairs. It was a BMW CPO, so at least I had that. Other than that, it was an enjoyable car to drive

[@phillynarrowstraight]

Coolant might be the turbo lines leaking, it’s super common on s63tu. The blower motor is an easy fix 👍

[@yoonmeonme9842]

Who gives a dam Man U still have two cars and not just any two monsters with over 300 horses a lot of men can’t do that but good for u this M5 is still a beast!!

[@SHWELL11]

Thanks for sharing. I cant help but think this was a flood car that escaped being totaled out by Insurance. I am probably wrong, but the things you point out have me thinking this was a Flood Car at some point. If the price was right for you, then you got a winner! Everything seems to be fixable (Though expensive), Congrats!

[@RahulJC]

My F10 M5 has curb-rash, AC works i did have to fill up the AC Gas, the compressor does not have issues, i think there is something weird with the blower since it starts making a weird sound if running over 2-3 hours. The Coolant low warning I had it too, a top up helped. My sunshade works however the gears are broken i need to replace it too! My front seats are not in great shape the rear ones look brand new. My car had a upper gasket leak in the oil pan i used that to lower the price for the car. Love to drive this car daily, Soo much fun amazing sound system with the B&O just crossed 115K miles on it. (Got it at 82.5K miles)

[@limitless.M5]

Love to hear it!

[@bobow1917]

How has the m5 treated you now that you’ve had more time to put miles on it? I’m curious about getting an m5 with the same mileage, just worried about reliability

[@RahulJC]

@@bobow1917 So before I got it, I did a PPI (pre purchase inspection) and the guys at the race shop told me the car has been treated as a car, so services done one time it was never treated like a baby so small scratches etc. mechanically it was fit hence I went for it as my budget at the time was less.

[@bobow1917]

Do you still have it? How many miles does it have now?

[@RahulJC]

@@bobow1917 will clock 120k soon

[@Calx91]

Lol whoever is quoting you for those repairs is ripping you off. Sounds like you to it to a dealer.

[@ForexvisionaryFx]

Bro over 4k just to repair AC??

[@limitless.M5]

Swear

[@ForexvisionaryFx]

Was it done at a dealership why not a regular good mechanic? It would have been cheaper

[@ForexvisionaryFx]

Like seriously wasn't it a good mechanic and not the dealership?

[@limitless.M5]

It was just a quote. I ended up fixing it myself for like $200

[@ForexvisionaryFx]

@@limitless.M5 nice bro you can facelift the f10 to a g80 I think you can look it up f10 facelift upgrade

[@williamk309]

The curb rash on the back wheels could be from tire rotation 🤔

[@yasin4946]

They are staggered wheels

[@youtubeuser9539]

I was just watching your video on the 540i and saw you bought this. Good purchase there will be more problems but still worth it 😂

[@limitless.M5]

Exactly 😂

[@HotRodM4]

You’re brave for this. Congrats on getting your dream car. Subbed to see how things go

[@limitless.M5]

I appreciate it!

[@xFlared]

Most people don't have a house with garage. We make do and leave it on the street.

[@levymwamba3283]

Congratulation brother ...this is also my dream car i LOVE the F10

[@kjhnsn7296]

Lot of misc cosmetic crap. The true issues will be the AC and the coolant warning. That is a flag that the water pump may be on it's way out.

[@jf8085]

Change solenoids and steering fluid brother

[@DreStyle]

im gonna buy an F10 also
however im very cautious
there is a BMW exlusive dealer 15 minutes away , ill drive it there to let em check , the price is very weird and also the milage

[@ifl09]

Check the dash airbag blow... Looks kinda nasty you might have redone that right part.

[@italianofsteel9784]

did you sell your gorgeous 540i G30 and take an older M5 f10? Why did you make the switch? Which of the two do you recommend? Well I have the same question lol

[@limitless.M5]

No I did not sell the g30 , the f10 is a much more comfortable car in my opinion. Rides better and more compliant, hydraulic steering, and a big V8. I wanted something with more displacement and low end grunt.

[@Mena6e.c7]

These are literally the 2 cars I’m stuck between what can you say between both especially handling

[@chillbro8811]

I'm guessing you didn't get a PPI before buying

[@limitless.M5]

I am the PPI. I know bmw cars pretty well

[@bahamohammad2501]

Wait till he starts burning oil

[@japposgarage]

I think I was looking into this car. I'm currently in the market to buy an F10 m5 as well. Was this from Car Lux dealership? How much did you buy it for?

[@limitless.M5]

This was from there. Got a good deal on it I’ll say that haha

[@chillbro8811]

Red flag #1 a/c not working correctly...ooof ! major gamble

[@limitless.M5]

Fixed

[@KurtV8]

Nice vdeo. Did you identify the caue of the low coolant issue?

[@limitless.M5]

Turbo lines on top of motor. The rubber there deteriorates

[@BMWProS-ob3g]

wow! rookie move

[@limitless.M5]

Hahaha

[@GodKing804]

Pre LCI. God bless

[@limitless.M5]

Agreed!

[@GodKing804]

@b58j14 the AC blower unit job isn't that bad, took me 45mins

[@n52gremlin15]

Surprised it has the same iDrive as my E92. It’s CIC right?

[@limitless.M5]

Pre lci m5 that’s why it’s cic

[@mycomputergl0wsblu]

You must have a LCI E92. Looking for an E92 M3 currently and I am only considering the LCI models with the CIC, since I have that in my F10 528i and I think that iDrive system stood the test of time well thus far.

[@billyowusu48]

@@limitless.M5not the same. You have an early nbt
