    This is the craziest e60 build I have ever seen, ever. This is seriously so cool it's not even funny.

    Beautiful car... as an e60 owner makes me happy to see that people care for this cars, most e60s on the road are really uncared for. Loved the mods on this one, especially the manual conversion, I wish I could afford to retrofit everything to mine!

    I own a 2007 550i manual M sport with 18 inch style 124 wheels. Pre LCI front bumper with Navi and winter package. It’s a 4.8 and I daily drive it. I have a stage 2 Dinan. I drive all highway. It is KING of the freeway. There is something special to naturally aspirated 4.8 manual. It has active steering. DTC, sport steering wheel, best seats ever. Manual driver’s therapy. I put a good bit into engine restoration. It is Amzing

    ‘04 E60 owner here. Regarding the book shown-yes the beige was called Sand Beige. I am in love with the soft close! Say what you want but the E60 was ahead of it’s time. Fantastic job!

    Wow what a truly unique vehicle. That brochure is amazing. I love how the paint samples are made to represent how paint looks on metal body work. Also bilstien makes fantastic coilovers that balance ride quality and comfort. I really want my next bmw to be something unique and different like this.

      @@Divine_Serpent_Geh you can fix these issues and there stout after that. They sell upgraded Viton seals for the engine that last way longer and I don't recommend 15k oil service intervals because BMW changed them to 10k not to long ago, my opinion is 5-7.5k and also run a colder thermostat that opens at 90c instead of 105c

    1:04 This is clean car, but you Sir are incorrect - there is Russian made BMW 545i e60 with EVERYTHING swapped from M5 (starting from OEM wheels, brakes, mirrors up to SMG 3 full retrofit system with gearbox knob etc), except for n62b44 engine. Actually it was 530i (m54b30), then he made full M5 re-style, and then swapped the V8:

      They without question have some serious reliability concerns, especially on the newer models. But somehow we're able to overlook most of these with how wonderfully they drive.
