    My advise when you want to buy a used performance car like the M5 and it has Landsail tyres or Hifly tyres or whatever cheap Chinese brand, just leave it immediately. These owners apparently cannot afford reasonable tyres. That says enough about the state of maintenance.

      lmao, absolutely true. i've bought my standard a3 8p from 2010, it has hifly tires which i'll change for the next season. absolutely shit maintenance by previous owner, had to replace almost everything on the car (engine was fine and still is), but atleast it's fully clean now xD

    UNCLAP IT!🎉
    Actually, I think that if you repair the things that the Seller claimed to have fixed, you may help your case, as you can better illustrate the extent to which they deceived you and the danger that deception put you in, in my opinion.
    Plus, you have monetary loss by making repairs that weren't supposed to exist, as they told you the work had been done.
    Also, these repairs were believed to be your jump off point, and your upgrades from there were initially the videos we got excited for.
    So, if you document the heartwrenching discoveries in detail, you'll have visuals in court.
    I think you'll be fine unclappin' the e60 M5, in my opinion.
    Kudos!

    Hey brother, I’m happy you decided to work on the M5. Your channel deserves it and you will ge more out of it instead of holding content back. If anything, those rod bearings and other parts can serve as evidence they were never replaced. Join the auto shop on their journey to destroy those scammers and use every part you replace as evidence. Even an oil analysis if possible. Keep up the good work.

    those bearing were cooked. most likely due to maintenance neglect (too long of an oil change interval) and contamination in the oil. wonder what the main bearings look like. get a scope cam and see what the piston tops look like (if they are all carboned up and nasty). might be a good idea to run some seafoam or some other decarbonization cleaner thru it.

    Having owned this car for 10 years I can tell you the hawk break pads for the e60 m5 are terrible and will make a lot of dust and not last as long as oem. Also the hgk spark plugs will go out fairly quickly and you’ll be playing wack a mole replacing them one by one. Also oem ignition coils are pricey, but remember that aftermarket’s will stick and break on there. Have fun! 😊

      @@VehicleVirals in that case it’s understandable. Maybe in the future you could give product 49-234923 a try. It is essentially a B8 package with more adjustability. The B8 struts actually have a shorter piston shaft to accommodate for lowering as to still have adequate positioning and travel. The B6 are prone to bottoming out with lowering springs.
