I met up with Alex to check out his E60 BMW M5! Find out what it's like to own a V10 M5 with over 120,000 miles...That V10 sounds amazing, its a great sedan to drive, but you all know the reputation this car has. Unfortunately the vehicle developed some issues that meant I couldn't finish the full review of this car, so I hope you enjoy watching this ownership perspective video from someone brave enough/in love with the car enough to own a high mile M5! (The issue ended up being a loose transmission hose, not really the car's fault. In its defense, Alex says it has been running extremely well before he was involved in an accident.) - Авто та транспорт
N54 owners: owning an N54 is stressful.
E60 M5 owners: hold my beer
😂😂😂
Definatly having stress issues with an N54 lol
Except if you watch his own video about his car he says he has had no issues whatsoever. His issues didn’t start until he crashed (owner error). Not car.
Lol funny thing is my friends e60 m5 is more reliable than his e92 325i
I owned a 2007 335i, absolutely loved it, would own again in a heartbeat. But once I test-drove an E60 back in 2010, my life's mission became to own an E60.
Driving an E60 M5 with 120,000 miles is like being 102 years old walking down a concrete hall and banana peels are everywhere.
Having the manual e60 = 102 with a walker
This BMW, in my opinion, is the best looking 5 series to date. I absolutely love it and its design.
Interesting opinion.
What do you think about the e39 ?
I agree, it's beautiful and so unique.
It looks good in M5 version
G series has entered the chat
I'm almost 100 percent sure this guy cut me off once while he was ripping it LOL
hahahaha. I'm sure it was not on purpose
I’m sorry if I did! I was just running away from maintenance costs.
@@AlexGray LOL
Alex Gray 😂 Them maintenance cost ain’t no joke
Alex Gray manual m5 or manual m3?
Mine has 163000 miles. Recently had engine rebuilt by Mike Jaimes in L.A. Broken valve spring.
Running better than ever now.
If you need great BMW engine work, he"s your man.
Still an amazing car and costs less than some new p.o.s. - even after paying for repairs.
The V10 gets my heart pumping EVERY DAY. Nothing else like it in the world.
wow man nice! how much did the engine rebuild cost?
Mujjuman - I dont want to publicly quote a cost because I think it can vary depending on the situation.
It was much less than anyone else was willing to do the work for. Enough that I sent my car all the way from Louisiana to Cali.
If you pm me I would be happy to hook you up with him.
Or check out instagram mike_bmw_motorsport.
He is a beast.
Dennis Wade thanks for the info and for the reference!
Wow from from Louisiana to Cali!
High mileage E60 M5 owners like meth in their morning coffee.

I eat crunched up bearings In a bowl of 10w-60 and call it cereal
Lol
Everybody gangsta until the rod bearings pull up

Exactly
@Crooked Skate Supply Co so you mean cause the car have 500 hp have to be a pos money pit
@Crooked Skate Supply Co supercar? no that a super car at all
🤦♂️hi my name is pedro and I’m a e60 M5 owner!! Everything that could go wrong on a car I have experienced with my m5.. will never sell it by this point. Total financial suicide if ur living paycheck to paycheck. SMG unit $3000 used. smg pump $1000 alternator $600 throttle body $500. clutch and flywheel $1000/plus labor SMG solenoids $2500 plus labor/ coil packs $1500/ control arms / bushings/ battery/ positive battery terminal cable/ , those are just the issues I could remember.. probably the worst financial mistake I ever made besides selling most of my bitcoins .. still love the fucking car tho. And that’s the worst part about it. Is like knowing your married the most famous prostitute in town , but u love her tho.. 💔 every time that BMW CHIME comes on.. even if it’s just the seatbelt chimes.. owning this car is like driving a fucking ticking time bomb that of
explodes very often... sheesh thank you for ur attention guys, just needed someone to talk to about this.. 🤦♂️
You bought an E60 living paycheck to paycheck? Dude...I feel for you, but I imagine you knew better, just couldn't help it. Probably thought, "ah, it'll be aight. It won't be that bad...". Now you see it's not that bad, it's that worse. My condolences.
SuperN0va No , thank God I’m doing pretty Ok financially. But it would definitely be financial suicide for one to do so, I know a couple owners that barely get to drive their cars because it’s always breaking down and they have limited cash flow to pay for all the parts and labor .. I’m 20k into labor and parts. No performance upgrades
The balls on this guy for buying this money pit... idk if its worth the heartache but props man, sick ride... andddd he has a m3💪🏽
he jus tryna pull some hoez bro

Nothing but respect for the owner! It requires balls to own a high mileage E60 M5.
And a big paycheck
That was my thought too. Its a really fun car, I loved the way it sounded. I don't have the courage to deal with it tho.
he be like its a bMw tHoo
The way people talk about these, I didn’t think 100,000+ mile examples even existed
I’m at 135k, original RBs... replaced actuators at 96K. Car is awesome.
Mine has 132k miles. In 4yrs ,40k miles no major issues. Worth every penny! Rod bearings will be replaced for the peace of mind. If you're buying one , have some cash set aside, drive it hard and you'll be golden... Horror stories are overhyped!
Sounds amazing!
@@EddieX I'm in the metro detroit area if you ever want to do a review. If I don't spin a bearing by then...
i agree
I havent had any trouble with my car...I see people stranded on the side of the road in Toyota's and Honda's all the time 🤷🏾♂️
@@user-xo3cx5ph9r True
I bought 2008 M6 last year. Seems same color as this one inside and out (interlagos blue, white interior + CF) with 57k miles. I put 15k on it so far. No issues, just regular maintenance (new battery, tires, oil changes). I LOVE the SMG! I don't know if the previous owner did something to it, but it's so smooth I rarely even using manual mode during normal driving.
I had e46 M3 before this one. Much crispier ride. Sharper, more sporty. M6 has more luxury feeling. But when you unleash the beast, it's an absolute thrill.
Am I the only one that is bothered by that rear quarter window panel that is untinted!?
Noo it's quite bothersome
It’s yucky
LMFAO nah bruh I feel that
love this video. The conversation approach is the best in my view. The viewer 'feels' like they're just sitting in the back seat listening to the detail.
Yesss I been waiting for this video!!! Thanks Man!
hope you enjoyed it!
Thanks Eddie, it was fun! You got great shots of the car!
I hate how monotone I sound lol but anyways, my personal experience with the car has been worth it up until I wrecked it in December. I got the car back very late the night before the review which is why the seatbelt is dirty. Mostly dust from sanding and some mold from rain getting in. Anyways, if you’re looking to buy one or have any questions, feel free to reach out. In my case having just that 1 (expensive) issue has been worth the ownership! I wouldn’t change a thing. Take care!
Alex Gray I know you mentioned a bit about the throttle actuators, but is it a big problem in the car? Also what about the vanos
Of probably at least 70+ M5 owners I’ve met and or spoke to closely with on Instagram, I only know two who have had to replace just one actuator. There is a rebuild kit for $100 and it can be done yourself. I don’t know anyone that has had to replace vanos so I don’t think that is very common however I know the vanos pump is fairly expensive.
Great video. I have owned a 2009 Sapphire Black Metallic E60 M5 for 3years. I bought it from the second owner with 40K miles and an extended warranty that just ran out this month. The car now has 83K on it and it has been pretty reliable. The alternator died at around 60K miles but it was covered by the warranty so I've only really had to pay for normal maintenance. I love the car and plan to keep it as a daily driver because as mentioned in the video it is a really fun car to drive that is also comfortable and it would be hard to replace it for the money I paid for it.
I have yet to modify my 2010 E63 M6 (50k miles )..still undecided regarding the exhaust mod . I'm glad to see your E60 back in business!
Been waiting on this vid from Alex! Yes! Thanx Eddiex
i just bought one with 124k miles original everything drove back to michigan from wisconsin with out skipping a beat i love it
Bro how has the car treated u since this comment ? Im tryna buy one at 119k this week and lowkey scared
Thank you so much for the videos. Planning to see one tomorrow and your video really help me what to look for
I have this car ( 3 years ownership) I use it as a weekend toy only , it’s never let me down because I have it serviced when it needs to be serviced ( Bmw or a specialist Bmw garage) not dodgy Daves back street garage ,
I had the throttle actuators changed as preventative maintenance (the rod bearings will be next with the vanos line ) ...basically if you want to have this in your collection buy a good one use it as a weekend toy it’s not for commuting that’s for sure , always warm up the engine and gearbox to temperature keeping it below 3k Revs , I’ve had the engine oil analysis completed twice in three years which showed no wear regarding rod bearings etc , always use 10w-60 oil recommended by Bmw and regarding high mileage these engines will go for years if maintained properly but if the car is revved to death every day of course it won’t last long all in all it’s a fantastic car and has started to go up in price here in the U.K. .....PS: don’t listen to the armchair scaremongers as most have never owned or even driven one ....the one I have is an LCI ( btw LCI started late 2007 which is what I have and the ones to go for ) ..happy driving ladies and gentlemen 🇬🇧😎👍
I'm a huge fan of the e60. I think it's the best looking 5 series. I have the n62. It spent most of its life on the interstate and was relatively easy to maintain until I started driving more in town than the interstate, but I have over 300k miles so it has done its job.
I’ve been waiting for this
Enjoy!
Hey EddieX you should make a video about the Audi S6 with the V10
Yes pls!!!
I actually did review one back on VV, the one that JRGarage bought lol
EddieX do another!
@@EddieXwhats the truth on JRGarage
I own a V10 M6, its f*cking awesome and i straight piped mine on my channel!
Alex is a great guy and has some great content.
Just got 100k miles on my m6 V10! I put 45k miles on it myself and so far I have never had any problems with the car besides regular maintenance! I think the key is to drive it. If you let the car sit for too long then you will get problems. Definitely one of the most reliable BMW I have ever owned!
Same here E90M3, got it with 57K four years ago, at 127K now, no problems, maintenance is more expensive then a regular car because you do have a real motorsport engine but you knew that beforehand, very solid cars. Any car that sits can develop problems but agree 100% these cars should be driven, most reliable car I ever had in the 35 years i drive.
Great to hear! I've got a white M6 V10, only has 53k miles on it. I need to drive it more, as I only take it out a couple times a month. Looks pristine totally stock, I've just got other cars that I drive on a daily basis. Too many videos on here knocking the e60 & e63 M cars. In the end paying $2500 to do rod bearings every 100k miles and under $4k for SMG work around that expected mileage, who cares. There is nothing I could find under $40k that matches what these car do for me. Cheers mate
Josh Wagner I got my M6 around that milage too. Just make sure you do the oil change every 4-5k max, let the car fully warm up before hard driving( VERY IMPORTANT), and do the rod bearings around 75k to be safe. I paid 1600 dollars to do that. Not bad at all for every 75-100k . And why 4000 dollars for the smg?! The pump is only 350 dollars. You don’t need to replace the entire sms transmission if the pump goes bad. Just recently replaced the clutch and pump ( 95k miles on original clutch which is really reliable I think) and paid only 1400 dollars for everything including clutch and pump and it drives like new again. In case for throttle actuators which usually go bad around 60-80k , You can get remanufactured one for only 400 dollars with lifetime warranty. I just replaced both as for maintenance before they get back. They were both still original and lasted 100k miles for me👍🏻 ! If you know about the car and know where to get the parts for cheap, the car is not that bad at all. Those people who are complaining are those who have no idea about the car and just get ripped off here and there. PM me In case you have any questions. Enjoy your car buddy :)
jorque d glad you have had a good experience with you M3 so far. I think the problem is that many owners don’t know how to treat these type of cars. I know a guy he got 160k on his m3 and his car looks and drives like new without any serious issues!
@@arash_LAThanks so much for the comment and support! Yep I've had smg cars in the past. Current own a Z4 3.0 with smg so I have had my hands in dealing with repairs there but like you said it was pretty much in the timing of when a clutch would need done anyway. Rod bearings were new info to me when I got the M6 so I got a quote from my favorite ATL area shop here for $2400 to do the work. Guess my point in the previous comment is these were once $100+k cars and certainly drive a nice as one. Picking up one for $20k makes the car a no brainer for what you get because preventive maint even budgeting on the high side (worst case situations) still values the car investment well below any of the other cars I was looking at getting. Thanks again!
It's all in how you look at it....I consider it a CHEAP way to get that much performance and reasonably practical. 4 years of ownership and only had to replace the throttle actuators. 112k miles
I also has a valve spring break on my ‘13 e92 M3 DCT trans with 30K miles. Out of warranty, but BMW did a partial goodwill based on my loyalty. Valve spring issue is more prevalent than people think on s85/s65. But most of them occurred with the original owners and within factory warranty
You guys in the US are so lucky, a nice LCI like mine fully loaded costs 50.000 Euros+ here in the EU with about 60.000miles.
I would've bought a manual in a heartbeat if I was living there.
I have a E60 528i with 98,000 lol, the maintenance is killer, the engine has been ticking too. Sounds like the common lifter problem. But geez, crazy props to Alex and any other dedicated 5 series owners lmao
We can’t get the manual M5/6 in the UK, they only went to North America. I don’t understand how anyone in North America can buy a non-manual one, you should be grateful you have the option! They’ll definitely appreciate as time goes on and powerful manuals become more and more desirable.
This is my dream car. However, as I get closer to finishing school, I realize that I won't be able to rely on this car as a daily, but more as just a weekend car. Even if it's a boring, big sedan and not a sports car, the V10 exhaust note is good enough to make it the weekend car.
E60 m5 boring?? Bro what are you on lol
This era of the M5 is the most good looking in my opinion. I want one so bad!
As someone who has at this point had his fair share of M cars and currently with a modded F10 M5. I can tell you that the horror stories are so overblown. Get the dealer coder, do the rod bearings and get a manual and 90% of the problems are mitigated. Make sure to use a high quality oil that's has stronger film strength but not as thick as the 10w60 and you'll be fine. Lubrication is the big issue on the S85 and S63.
Agreed!
The gold castrol edge 10w60 is fine isnt it? I mean thats what they recommend
He must have a ton of money to maintain the best ticking timebomb ever made.
Respect 💪🏾
Danny mine has 130,000 miles and just did rod bearings at 120,000 hasn’t had any issues. Not nearly as unreliable as people make them seam.
@@claycrawford9009 how much is rod bearings?

What issues have you had? I’m looking at a 2006 with 68,000 miles on it for about 20k
@@HB-tf5mv how many owners?
@@HB-tf5mv I did all preventative maintenance at 100k. I've had to do bushings all around, routine maintenance ( plugs coils fluid flushes brakes ). Pcv Valves, fuel injectors
@@TheG60528XiJinPing lol that’s another scary part, 5 !!
@@HB-tf5mv that's the biggest red flag. I would be more comfortable with a 140k miles one owner than 70k 5 owner tbh.
Shows that they wanted it gone quick.
And also more miles means that it was compliant in aquiring those miles and will likely easily accept more in the future.
That's my two cents
Edit: also avoid first model year!
Only redemption would be if the car is cosmetically prestine, and you can get the price down to around the 17k mark to have some cushion for repairs/ rod bearing replacement (I assume it has OEM bearings too.)
Cool video like always cool to see
Friend of mine here in Dallas has one. It prob has 120,000 miles on it. He is the only owner. It's had it's issues. Motor has been rebuilt, but now it's a 5.5 Stroker motor!
This guys the man props to him for being an n/a guy! His dream car is also in my dream 5 car garage :D
the moldy seat belt is driving me crazy... Cool car but don't think I would own one.
kai diego it’s only like that because of the accident as water got inside due to the damaged door
What u don't like about this car?)
- hydraulic unit (6500$)
- hydraulic pump (1500)
- rod bearings (3000$)
- vanos pump
- throttle actuators (1200)
- clutch, flywheel (2000$)
But other than that it's a great car))
Having a car from 75k miles up to 115 had to remove tranny back and forward 8 times) each time it's 800$ labor
Fantastic and timeless car!
I really don't understand why people screaming about 120.000 miles..It's normal miles if the car is From 2005 and people drive it.If you don't earn money don't Buy it. Then Buy something else . Those cars need love and maintenance.
It's simple
this guy has great taste in cars
As a german... i dont really see the problem. You pay a lot less than you would for a new car and if something breakes you replace it... still cheeper than a new one.
In Germany some might say: BMW = Bring mich Werkstatt = Bring me workshop, but i really dont mind replacing the heater or what ever breaks on my 2003 E46... i even enjoy it.
I dont know much about the E60 parts... but if you speak a bit of german i bet that you could find A LOT of videos on youtube on how to fix any problem on your car, just like americas do it with old american cars.
I like Bring mich Werkstatt. In the USA we use BMW= Break My Wallet. Nice car, awesome performance, but people need to be prepared for expensive replacement parts and the maintenance they require.Also ,find a good independent technician and stay away from the BMW dealership or you really will be broke.
in the year 2020, this sounds like a bargain supercar -- IF you purchase it knowing you already have funds set aside to replace the clutch, SMG pump, and certain other wear items. I look forward to owning one.
So Clean for a high mileage car!

Very nice and clean E60 M5. Thats the way BMW should have made the hood
Metro Detroit One Takes I love it
so how should you check rod bearings ? should you just replace it every 50 000 miles ? do they give any symptoms?
I’m the second owner of my 2010 e60 m5. Bought it with 23k miles on it. Replaced the smg clutch and pump at 89k. For the price of those repairs, I could have built a swapped 2jz e30. Now I want a GTR
The sound is amazing. If your keeping it another 50k +, may as well with the headers. What else are you going to do with them?
That’s a good point!
I love this freaking car! I hear a lot of bad things though.
It's amazing. And honestly Alex is very knowledgable about it and it sounded like his experience hasn't been horrible
I want so bad. Something about a v10 in a sedan. Plus I love this body more then the ones that proceeded it.
Terrible car reliability wise
Crooked Skate Supply Co definitely not true! Dad owned one he works at a jdm style auto shop and he had the car for 5 years and spent almost 20k (canadian) had 70k miles on it

Great work guys . Hi from West Australia . Alex I follow you and really love the car. I have never had the guts to own one. I have had SC e92 M3 e90 M3 , e39 M5 etc. I jumped ship to Audi RS 4 b7 with the only MTM Supercharged unit in Australia, it’s a beast 540 HP. Now I am thinking to try C63 performance package 2012 . Is the M5 quicker and more reliable? Should I go back to e90 M3 . The Audi is so much more less dicey to own , better finish etc. so will try keep it as well. Any advice guys. 😱
Obviously you should go back to E39 M5 fraind, lol. Greetings from +10gmt.
Alex is a cool dude!
I would love an Interlagos Blue 6 speed manual M5
120k miles is not bad i sold mines at 178k when smg pump was going out again but never had to do rod bearing

Good video Eddie. Do you travel to do these videos? Would love to see if you can do a version of a TOTAL opposite V10 that is fully modded to the max and ridiculous clean.

@@HalfAssBuilt what has been done to it ?
@@hussali8838 I had one major failure that caused me to have to change the engine and it wasn't the Rod Bearings it occurred at 138k miles it was the fuel injector on Cyl 8 if someone was planning on buying that I would recommend that they change the injectors and the fuel filter. I have also done the rod bearings on the replacement engine that had about 128k miles when I changed it. During the engine swap I converted to 6MT at the same time. I have rebuilt the actuators with metal gears and cleaned the DC motors out of the carbon that collects from the brush wear. Other than that I have just driven it when I hit 238k (Moon Shot Distance I plan on changing the rod bearings again which will be about 100k into the last change.

The V10 sounds much more exotic and exciting imo
One car close to the m5 people forget is the e60 550i with m sport package and staggered wheels. Its awesome and as fast with its 4.8 v8. I own one, its been really really reliable. I bought it with 100k and I have 147k so far. Those run flats have been pain in the ass. Those wheels are easily damaged by pot holes and replacing them is expensive. Other than that, its an awesome car.
Does it have lsd?
Lol. As fast?? No it's not. Not even close.
@@eye8359 unfortunately it doesn't!!!!
@@mattbudesa3038 well not exactly but tell you what, i wouldn't upgrade to this m5 bcz there's no quantum leap. Yes it did 204mph,has a v10 but my 550i m sport is at least 80% this M5
@@nature10879 More like 50% Good car but no comparison really.
Anyone notice that one part of the rear side windows not being tinted
Forget about the high mileage. You had the stones to get the white/light gray interior ... my hat is off
I am taking my older brother's 2008 BMW 535i and when I get this car, I will turn it in to an M5 and to do it, I am getting an M5 parts car that is the same color as his BMW 535i
Bro that M5 just got through the break in period.
Time to meet Rod
