When you go 270, and still got a gear left to shift into...
Corvette C6 2008 300kmh in 5th and 5500 rpm, you never use the 6th haha
Not just that, but power to accelerate as well.
The gearing is tall it’s from the 540i
@@matthiasweigel311 c6 cant corner?
@@bobobibo2357 that's a waste of a gear, time for new diff ratio
when you think about it, the transformation of this car from the nasty photos on craigslist when it was in NC all the way to doing 330 kmh on the German autobahn is just mind-blowing. Goes to show the amount of time, passion and skill Sreten poured into this machine.
Prety big difference. Thank you!
@@M539Restorations How did you remove the Limiter? was it an easy process? I've been told you must flash tune, but I would rather not and leave the ECU standard if possible. Thanks for your help! And keep the vids coming! I'm using them to help me look after my own E39 M5 and E60 M5 SMG! They are the best!!
@@joshdavis7648 Limiter? What limiter? 🤣
@@M539Restorations EPIC EVOLUTION! back to the Track Jack..the One, the Only, Da RING!
Having ones German Sausages stolen is the würst.
Well done Shane.
I hope he catches the Brat who stole them!
@@petercrisp2573 LOL! Well done Peter.
Gotta give em' a good Knock upside the head.
Jokes about the German sausage are the Wurst! :p
14:27 The difference between Euro drivers and US drivers:
Euro: Doing 270 kph and still moving to the right lane.
US: Doing 60 mph and clogging the left lane.
Too True... North America is filled with left lane Bandits!
@@petepenn1 UK too (although they're right lane bandits here obviously). ~BuT i'M dRiViNg aT tHe SpEeD LiMiT~
Thats beacause in Germany and else where in Europe there are no fast lanes. There are driving lanes and overtake lanes only. We are taught that first overtake its done by the left side, and second we are not allowed to "drive" on the overtake lane.
Yeap, and what boggers me more is that the fkin US dudes buy 3/5/7 litre engines and use them to run with 60 mph, and obeying the law as much as they can. Nothing bad in that tho, But why tf 70% of americans got Mamba engines and cars if they gonna snail in the highway ? Buy some cheap 1.5 or 2 litre car and be efficient.
thay call that simple : driving culture . Germans and Italian has that , in USA a milions of people do not know how to enter the car not to drive at 270 km/h
I guess Hans has a bright future ahead of him in the cast of Alarm für Cobra 11.
, 😂😂😂😂
Then the BMW won't last very long 😁
Too authentic for cobra 11
Reading your comment - while I had a mouth full of cola 😂😂😂 f4ck man - it’s spilled everywhere 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@AbcAbc-ox6pg But it will really fly ✈️
“Slowing down for the corner…” goes from 240kph to 270kph. Epic.
amazing! you should visit us with that thing
Hey, how did no one notice you here💀.
20:38 imagine pumping gas and hearing an m5 go past at 7500+ rpm at 300+ km/h.. Awesome
24 minutes like it was 5 seconds... Man i just love this content.
same lol
I say that if que pay for all the speedometer, we should be able to use all the speedometer!!!
Everything has an end .. only a sausage has two ! Dadada
"Coming up we drive" would expect nothing else from the guy with a fleet full of ultimate driving machines
Given they’re BMWs, I expected a bit more maintenance than driving
Sincerely, a BMW driver
@@starstencahl8985 hahaha
Love it. Going on 11 years and 175,000 miles on my 6 speed e60 m5. Track days, airstrips, commuting, and baby hauling in a v10 6 speed has been a fun 11 years.
@@petepenn1 Agreed. I still have my e28m5, too.
When you love a guys channel so much you give it a thumbs up even before it's started.
Sreten: Why does this car smell like sausages? Brilliant 😂
This car seems to have insane pulling capacity, but the one that seemed most amazing to me was the one between 120 and 240 kph. It just goes!! Must be a joy to drive, indeed.
Yep, they don’t seem quick but are very fast, by that 0-100kph isn’t particularly quick but 120kph / 80mph and up it gets in its stride and rockets. Did 205mph in mine a lot. Great car, miss mine (it was very reliable 👍)
@@jamest5149 Was yours a 6MT?
@@jamest5149
SMG or 6MT ?
Only in Germany can you reach 330km/h in a motorway and be sure that no one slower will suddenly "jump" in your lane. Good place to have such nice cars. Another great vid. Thanks.
You know the history of your top speed highway section? -> On January 28, 1938, Rudolf Caracciola reached a record average speed of 432.692 km/h on the Frankfurt-Darmstadt autobahn (a section of today's A5) and back (outbound towards Darmstadt 428.571 km/h, return towards Frankfurt 436.893 km/h). This is the highest speed driven on a public road to date. ... shifting at 270 ... holy Hans! Always have a good & save drive ✌️
German autobahn; motorist heaven, where your daily commute can become the highlight your day!
And then you run into the infamous "baustelle".. for it seems like forever 😋😋
well ... there is a good chance that next elections in Sep will change that. Speed limit is looming around the corner.
The German Autobahn is a paradise that we Brazilians who love Bimmer and are limited to a maximum of 140 km/h on our roads here in Brazil!
@@sys-administrator No. That's absolutely wrong and a lie. The unlimited section of the autobahn is alot safer than any restricted highway in the neighbour countries.
@@sys-administrator The problem with your data is: the amount of cars are not directly comparable. Also germany is a transit country so that the higher risk of an accident comes from the lack of understanding from foreigner drivers of the german road laws.
Additionally many accidents are on construction parts where only 80km/h are allowed. These accidents will also be included on the autobahn statistics which is totally wrong. I live near the autobahn with a construction side (max.speed is 80km/h) and some people lost their lives or had accidents. So it doesn't have always to with unlimited speed.
"Are you trying to maxout your Kia Picanto, my friend?":D:D:D:D:D (I own one)
Chris Bangle's style can be appreciated over time. As we say in Italy: time is a gentleman 👍
The design of the E60 is timeless, even next to an F10 or G30, the E60 looks contemporary
@@aDaWaN I'm afraid I do not agree: it looks modern not contemporary. This is way much different.
Yeah the bangle e60 is his best design then after that the e61 m6, the e66 7 series is worst while the e90 3 series is just ok
I think Design-wise the e39 aged much better
@@1cityandcolour1 I must admit you're right
I was just able to get my hands on one of these manual E60 M5’s 1/1364… rods done 1k miles ago with ACL bearings already, new brakes around, new clutch. It’s the most addictive thing I’ve ever driven. I swore to myself 3000 miles a year max….. you haven’t lived until you have driven this car. This channel gave me the confidence I needed to go for it. I paid a good bit more but also got a very clean example at 119k miles for less than 1/3 original price…. Owner had 17 of the coolest cars including a 2 other SMG E60s and he almost backed out last minute. I honestly can’t believe I got my hands on it. You are one of the very best. Perfect content, I love your style. Keep it classy, OEM…. Except that exhaust… lol had to do it
It's always crazy how 180kmh feels like walking speed after a high speed run.
I know right? Its fascinating
Actual, my shift leader on the BMW Plant 6.1 (Regensburg, Bavaria) is named Hans and looks the same. Maybe I should bring him some sausages and see what happens.
Don't forget beer :)
@@M539Restorations Sreten this is Bavaria, we have even in the production a beer vending machine. ;) You know, you need to lubricate the conveyor system, but you also need to take care of the workers. :D
Just don’t TAKE the sausages after that… 😃
these are going to sky rocket in value soon i think
its so enjoyable to see cars being driven hard when you actually know that they are healthy inside
Coooming up.. by far the best and most in depth automotive UA-cam machenic I know!
This car has hit the jackpot, think about the story it has had, built in Germany and sent to the US. Only for it to rack up 140K miles and then be brought back to EU specification, registered in Germany and loved again. It's great to see.
Proof that the smartest BMW owner also works on them for a living. The work fuels the passion.
Frankfurt to Darmstadt and back. The classic since the 30ies. The glorious V10. It’s eating gasoline. The sound dominates.
By far this is my favorite UA-cam Channel...Streten is schooling a lot of the so called youtubers out there..
Thanks Streten for the weekly entertainment and for your mind set of excellence.
Other European countries car's youtuber: blur the speedo
Germans : 4k go pro mounted behind the bretzel steering wheel
:D
I don't care about anything that car does, but the way it sounds, and playing the pedals to play those notes... man.
It's so much more exotic than the E39 but the older is still my favourite.
5 liter naturally aspirated V10 pumping out over 500 bhp back in 2007! Those numbers alone are spectacular, but not as spectacular as seeing you do over 300 kmh on the autobahn with the M5 appearing to be so solidly planted to the ground. Of course, at those speeds, knowing you have 375 mm drilled brake discs up front definitely boosts confidence. Woo hoo!! Awesome car & awesome video!
Tedward posted a E39 M5 video, thought it was you, got disappointed when found out it was not you.
10 minutes later, you posted this. I am a happy man again.
Hans' job description has grown to a worrying extent, I hope he never gets promoted to chief test driver...
And this people is what I missed in the pandemic, flooring my car between Frankfurt and Darmstadt. I fell like driving to work or from work. :D
No one steals sausages from Hans!! That M5 goes like a friggin' rocket
Considering the mileage it's done that's an absolutely amazing testament to the engineering.
That it sure is
This has grown to be my favourite channel. I'd love videos more often, but I know you're working very hard. Keep it up!
Only us old time editors know how much work you put into the pro production! Your hard work and addiction to blue + white are paying off and it Shows! Congrats!
Autobahn is the biggest contribution factor for German automotive industry.
Best camera angle I’ve seen for autobahn runs. You see the interior, but also the speedo in the corner. The pulling power of this thing at high speeds is nuts. It’s funny, the E39 M5 has more torque on a daily basis, still pulls hard at high rpms, gets significantly better fuel economy, is definitely more reliable, BUT the sound of this S85 at high rpms beats pretty much anything else. Both incredible cars, but for me it really shows how special this car is. And how much BMW M pushed themselves with the E60 M5. Sure, the F10 and F90 M5 are insanely fast and capable, but they’re massive and have gotten significantly heavier. For me, I love the E39 a little more than the E60 because of its looks and reliability, but the E60 M5 is still so special. Maybe the most special M5 ever. I love your videos!!
Dude, that's mental!!! So jealous of you having roads where you can actually drive a car as it was designed to be driven. If I'm ever in Frankfurt you've gotta take me for a burn 😊
Officially the first channel that I subscribe too AND press the bell for notifications.
Massive fan here - Keep doing great content Sreten!
Wow! What a stress test! That engine rocks.
Wife has an ‘09 e64 with the manual, 15k miles, and loves it. Hearing it start up in the garage is amazing.
No roads here in the US to push it and hardly ever get out of 3rd gear...
Watching 4 doors family sedan naturally aspirated V10 with stick rivving up to 9000 RBM and reaching 330 KM is what car enthusiasts need to see. I love the W211 E55 but I got to admit it this is pure BMW stuff.
Watching the level of the fuel gauge falling in front of my eyes 😬
I'm so glad at least somebody is able to live their best life. Sreten - you are living my dream, and I'm so happy for you!
Being an owner of a 2008 e60 530i Msport (recently acquired) and finding this channel on UA-cam is the best thing that could have happened for my car!!! Inspiring to watch someone with such passion for real driving machines, getting them back to mint condition! I have a lot to do…. Keep up the good work Sreten, love your channel! 👍🏻😁
Seb. Vettel : bring back the V-10 !! Indeed. A great example of a V-10 BMW. The good ole days.
Dude, THOSE acting skills are oscar worthy 😂
You forgot the "/sarc" at the end! 🤣
Oscar Meyer?...
today I learned that elbow grease is red. thank you
I don't remember the last time I was this excited in discovering a new channel. Kudos for your hard work!
11:54 Damn look at the beauty of this thing. German cars definitely were at best of their game early 2000 to 2010.
" ... the one from Belgium, that's a little bit older." I smell an E34.
I'd love to see you get your hands on a Mercedes W124 500E/ E500.
I was also thinking of an E34 when he said that haha
we NEED an e34
E34 is by far my favourite 5 series.. but hey im biased cause i own one :p
your probably one of the only channel i clicked on the bell and everything else you ask me to click. keep up the good work mate! love from Hong Kong❤️
Living stateside I haven’t had the opportunity to see 200+ in my 2008 E60 M5 which I’ve owned for over 11 years😬 Excellent video content👍
I’ve got to get a manual M5 in my life, awesome upload as always, thank you
Paul never sell it and keep it garaged. No snow. Almost all old gold is irreplaceable!
Best sounding M5 for me. Also one of the most beautiful BMW has ever been produced
Oh man how am I supposed to go to work now 😄 I'll have to spend 24 min in the bathroom.. that's a little suspicious 🤔😄
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Especially when you emerge with a big smile on your face!!
Watch it at 1.5 speed setting, 12 minutes is acceptable for a bowel movement!
I can't imagine going 200 mph with slower traffic in the lane next to me. Sad to say I would never trust those other drivers if we had an "Autobahn" in the U.S.. What a gift that is!
Holy shit! I had no idea that car was capable of that much top-end. I know that most European cars are capped at 155 Mph. I thought maybe v-max based on RWHP, gearing and aerodynamics on an M5 E60 would be 170 (ish). But 205! My goodness. The air is like pudding at that speed and that car is not that slippery. Color me impressed. This video made Sabine smile in heaven. I had a lap with her in 2008 in an M5.
Amazing to see. Chuckled seeing the rev counter go one way, the fuel gauge go the other. Naturally, this being a North Carolina car, air conditioning on, all the way!
Great video as always but I have to point out something. When you were pushing brake calipers pistons, you should let brake fluid from caliper to flow out by valve in caliper, which is used for removing air from system. Reason is, the brake fluid working in caliper can get dirty and you don't want to have dirt in abs/esp pump.
The autobahn is a magnificent place to be, I was lucky to drive it often around 2001 2002 .
if you’re not in a fast car that doesn’t matter, it’s a spectacle to see the speed and sounds.. somewhat like driving in a race environment all the same.
Magnificent!!!!!
I’m an E39 M5 owner. Watching your videos, I have new found respect for the E60 M5. It’s an impressive machine. Great content!
This makes me feel the ultimate Nostalgia of NA era :) what a good restoration
I just cannot get over the sound of the S85. Just insane. And then there is the pulling power. Great job saving this beast Sreten!
Autobahn
The part about taking away the car is quite interesting. How do they deal with the corner cases, for example if the car was stolen?
@@tonik.5767 To my knowledge, the owner of the car get it back if it has been stolen. There has been such a case already in Denmark :-)
@@znipzzi Makes sense, thanks.
You are as mad as a fridge full of pigeons! Absolutely fricking love this channel!
Hans and Roger need their own UA-cam channel!
14:28 - Sreten you're so nice to move to the middle lane to let faster traffic go by you! :)
It's not just nice, it's mandatory in most countries. Only the US has the silly "keep-your-lane" system where cars are basically moving roadblocks, causing more congestion and preventing traffic from flowing.
@@bokkenrijder172 I know. I was just trying to be funny.
@@LEGIOXIIIG Sorry, I missed the smilies. 😃 👍🏻
This is when you have the right hands, sticking out from you... Best, funny, naturally youtuber ever! I have 3 bmws at home, all diesels, i wish i can do just 5% from what you doing... Amazing...
Thanks for all what you do!!!
I wish we have autobahn in The United States of America. Talking about ultimate stress therapy. Just speed and let the adrenaline kick in.
Be sure to brake in the new brakes!
Streten: let's drive 320 Km/h!! :)
I love that V10 sound! That car is turning out so great.
Your admirable disregard for sausage police and authority in general makes me think you might have a little American in you. That autobahn is beautiful and you should be very proud of such a spectacular freedom. As for that M5... wow, what a machine! Prost!
I love the fast forward editing. Its perfect.
I love your passion and attention to details 👍🏽👍🏽
If you do a job, you get it done properly!
Work ethics: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
M539 Notification Squad assemble!
That e60 is just a beast man… that car is impressive now but a 200mph, naturally aspirated V10 back when it came out.. Totally obscene!
Just started watching your channel, now going to go back and watch the beginning of this build. E60 M5 with manual transmission has been my dream car since I was in 3rd grade (15yrs!) I previously owned an E60 530xi (N52) with manual transmission which I adored and miss dearly. Seeing this video makes me want to pursue an M5 and fulfill the childhood dream...what a special car and still an incredible performer!
I am in to my 13th year of daily driving my M5 e60, I can honestly say that the amazing noise never gets old. Fuel consumption grates a little tho!
Great content, as always! As a Belgian, I'm looking forward to seeing what your next project is.
This channel is so unique. The man can deal with faulty rod bearings, then polish up the trim on the same car. Who else in the world can do both? Great job again ;)
14:47 - Man, that sound. The speed. You're a legend.
Dang it! Now I'm looking at used E60 M5s in the listings. I have no money for this at the moment, but owning a supercharged e46 ZHP 330, the whole awesomeness of the generation makes me a bit stupid... 🤣
And I'm good enough with the wrenches to do almost as well as you, I think. A blessing and a curse. Cheers!
Awesome video! The car looks, runs, and SOUNDS fantastic! You should post short videos of high speed runs!
2 words "LOVE IT" although no comparison but your video just motivated me to get up and do a brake job on all 4 corners on my honda accord :)
You should focus on rust prevention on a Honda😂
V10s are absolutely, undoubtedly the best sounding engine configuration.
On day, I'll build myself a manual E61 M5. Better get on that before the values of the 'unloved' generation shoot up.
this channel is the most german thing on youtube and i like it
What a machine you are! Jeremy Clarkson said that in Australia special episode when he raced in the BMW m6 vs Bentley Continental gt vs Nissan GTR.
New to the channel, great job your exuberance, thoroughness and patience are inspiring. We live in a great time that this content is free
Super super good video. The car was always supposed to reach 330km/h. Keep going.
I didn't know the M5 E39 was able to reach 300km/h, thanks to good aero. Cheers
Man, I was surfing UA-cam looking at lion videos, saw your channel and effectively blew 4 hrs like it was 10 minutes.
Absolutely love the channel my man.
Sreten talks the talk, and then walks the walk!
Always found BMW brakes easy to replace, Discs(Rotors) and pads, all you need is the right tools!
This is the best channel on UA-cam !!!! Cant wait for project Chicago
nothing as awesome as doing all the maintenance work then go out for a satisfactory drive streching the cars legs properly.
V10 motor is special and sounds glorious
The looks have aged really well considering how people slated it when it came out. And boy does it haul ass. Must feel insane to drive :)
I really hope you’ve got an e30 coming.
Love your vids Sreten! Can't say i'm a BMW guy, but your enthusiasm and the fact you genuinely enjoy restoring old(er) BMWs keeps me watching.
SO MANY NEW PROJECTS COMING!!!!!!!!!!! VIEWING PLEASURE FOR THE NEXT 12 MONTHS #SORTED YEAH BABY!!!!!!
