      Hello, great video, is it possible to know how much that job run you ??, ( IF YOU CAN DO PARTS AMOUNT, AND THEN LABOR ) We all know labor will depend on who does it, but at least to get an idea how much people need to dish out every 60 or 70 thou miles to be safe and not damage anything. There are cars with 100k+ on them and never done them, thats something I would never do, i think is better to do them and not wait for worst damage. CHEERS 😏😏😏👌👌👌

    Since I was a little kid the sound of the V10 had a specific place in my head always reminding myself how amazing the engine itself sounds. A lot of people scare others as I watched your previous video mostly people who never owned one. One day I hope I will own one just like you have a beautiful vehicle as shown in video. Keep up the good work.

      It's amazing how much misinformation is posted as gospel on these cars, by people who have never sat in one, let alone owned one. When looked after and well maintained they're not that bad at all. It's a V10 engine in a saloon car, it is always going to have costs associated with that.

      They are definitely expensive when they go wrong but due to them depreciating a fair bit it allows for some money to be spent on the car, and still have a very special driving experience for the price of a modern hot hatch. But yes ultimately it is a risk and there are not many good ones for sale

      Hey man....for a more attainable car, I would suggest an e60 550i, my dad has owned about 5 now (we now have an f10 M5), and they were always reliable fun. Still a 4.8 V8 and I would easily argue - far more rare than the e60 M5, which is in some ways more appealing in it's own right. Like I said, it's far more reliable too....its not quite the power or as special, but its basically a baby M5....plus, without the 'M' badge, parts and maintenance are much cheaper, dont get me wrong tho, its still not exactly "cheap" to maintain, but still more affordable than an M5. Just suggesting it cos I know it's a very underrated car...no one talks about it so I'm hoping it might be a good alternative until mabye one day you land yourself a dream M5 :), good luck!

      @@haroonzabair1180 definitely truth in that, but values of the E60 have been climbing for a few years. There are still some cheap ones about, but they're becoming more scarce. Looking at Autotrader only, there are 37 V10s forsale. There are 122 F10s, and while technically the better car, they're no where near as special as the E60. I drove an F10 and it was mega fast, but it didn't excite. I wasn't disappointed about getting back in my E60.

    Great video! but worrying that we never saw any clearance checks for the new bearings! They should have checked the clearance of the new bearing using something like plastigauge, otherwise, how will they know the crank lobe hasn't worn out of spec! Hopefully, they did it and you didn't show it, because that's not good practice slapping new bearings in without checking clearances.

    At what point did you decide to get it done? I heard you spun a bearing in the first part, but I dont know if you were joking. If you did spin it, what happened? I have a 2008 M6 with an ESS supercharger on it and worry about this. Not sure what to look for. It is at 88k miles.

    This bmw m5 e60 is the best for me because they have a good sound.

    Sounds exactly like my Insignia with the oil pump seal that kills the engine over time due to low oil pressure then it spins the bearings

    Dear Tr Hemza your vid are really nice also by the way I think your front codriver brake disc is the wrong direction as the holes are looking the wrong way
