BMW M5 (E60) Tested by Tiff Needell (Fifth Gear) 

Jeremy entertains while Tiff educates. 

I've had mine for 10 years and its been a great car. This was actually the review that made me buy one.

he upload this video 10 years ago and I'm still waiting to buy this :(

I love how Tiff can give us a review of the car whilst pulling off some unbelievable driving

As much as I loveTop Gear I think Tiff is the best automotive reviewer, no messing around or silly bullshit, just straight to the point. His review of this M5 was miles better than Clarkson's.

Possibly one of the best reviews of one of the best, and last, naturally aspirated M5.

I remember my afterschool afternoons in 2006, looking at this amazing video and dreaming the V10 M5.. what a car!!

BEST M5 MODEL EEEEVVVVVEEEEEERRRR

I love this M5 model and it still looks amazing for a car that is almost 10 years old !

7:06 This shot is really excellent. How he guns it out of the turn.

This to me is the most insane car ever built. Putting a V10 (which is mainly used in super cars) in what looks like an executive family hauler still blows my mind. Sure the F10 is faster but it will never be as unique as the E60 because of the engine. This and the Audi S6 are the only V10 cars that are just as good on the track as they are for commuting, errands, family hauling, and road trips and that what will always make this car special and hopefully worth more down the road. The thing I love most about this car is the reaction you tell a non car guy that this car has a V10.

I feel very lucky to have sold and driven the last of the best BMW's they ever made. A special car this, i remember my old dealer principle who was ex UK BMW head office. he'd bought the dealership I'd worked at and used his connections from his head office days, to somehow rob a full decat exhaust from an F1 M5 Pace car, and stuck it on our demonstrator M5 we had at the dealership! Even just off idle It sounded like Juan Pablo Montoya's F1 car at the time, that day i fell in love with the V10 configuration forever, fond memories indeed.

The way he was drifting this car was really amazing. I never thought you could do that in a sedan thats over 190 inches long.

Uploaded 12 years ago but still one of my dream cars😍

tiff is a top man at showing you what any car can do.when he drove the golf gti on fifth gear he showed what it can really do.the man respect

TIFF! TIFF! TIFF! Long live Tiff Needell, long may Tiff Needell reign, he's fantastic. The car is made to look pretty awesome also. I'm glad the Brits appreciate this car. (Hammond said nice things about it also fwiw.) Party starts at 5:45

I remember this episode like it was yesterday Good old memories Epic car out of its time

2018 and still the best car BMW has made. I freaking love it😍

tiff needel is the man!

I'd take a less powerful N/A engine that makes an amazing sound over these new twinturbo cars that weigh something like a pickup truck and have fake engine noises played through the stereo

"I think these displays will be a must have of the future" - and now you can even have one in a Ford Focus! Tiff knows cars...

Freakin good driving. Buying a 2006 with 70K miles this week. Can't freakin wait!

Best E60 M5 review ever. Tiff rocks!!

This had one of the best engine noises by far! What a machine, I am currently looking at buying one. Love it

Iv'e had my E60 M5 S2 through RPI, his thing is awesome has not been trouble free but so worth every penny so far. I don't see myself with any other car yet.

Why Tiff left topgear I'll never know, they should take him back he's great. The most informative true driver/presenter on TV.

Tiff cracked me up when he was having it around the track. The clip almost turned into a 1970s comedy sketch.

Most proper review and insight on a e60 m5

Best BMW M car ever made.

Double vanos, the reason why it sounds like a diesel in a morning.

This is a damn good review. Entertaining, informative, to the point and well shot & edited... for 5th gear!! Bravo.

Awesome E60 M5, incredible sound from that V10 and full respect to Tiff he knows his stuff and still an ace driver.

I've had my for 5 years now put 80,000 miles on the car and she still runs like a BOSS!!! Sure I have had things break down on it the car is meant to be used so if you want one of these get it just remember if you want to play you have to pay!

I wanna be adopted by Tiff!

The E60 M5 is and was a legend. The 5.0 monster in front is absolutely INSANE.

Great improvement from the E39, specially when this V10 weighs only 2lbs more than the V8 out of the E39 M5.

2019??

E39 is still & will always will be my favourite M5

Tiff is very pleasant to listen, and a gentleman driver

i love it the way this m5 put a smile in your face

4:25 that is the cat heater/secondary air pump sounds crappy. It goes away after about a minute.

best looking 5 series ever better looking than the softer looking new model

i just cant get tired of this video :) Tiff Needell is best car presenter and he makes fifth gear really interesting :) and this M5 is the best sounding car i ever heard :) thumbs up for this vid !! :)

One of the best cars ever made and one ofthe best reviews ever filmed. Beautifully edited and tiff is looks and drive`s that BMW as it should. Greetings!

I can say that it Is everything that we just heard...and more actually. Mine has 96,000 miles and still exhibits new car performance. Don't fear the horror stories either...simply plan on throttle actuators at 80k at about 2 grand total and install them yourself and SAVE big $$$..its an easy job.

Better than new m5

BMW 5.0 V10 SMG! !! I got myself a 2009 BMW M6 with 60k km (40k miles) last year and it's still awesome to look at and drive... I still wish it a good night and good morning in my garage everyday. I'm obsessed! ! 🙈

best driver in the best car. respect to tiff, and the M5. nice poerslide on the double-apex corner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! legendary

I just bought one for 16k in us dollars, perfect condition 625 hp

why save for a gtr when u can have one of these

One of the best car reviews on youtube.

That’s the difference between Tiff and the rest of them, he knows about S6 gearbox mode which you can’t access until you switch DSC off and have it in full M mode. The change is bloody ferocious! I’m lucky enough to still have one of these beasts and I’ve only used S6 a few times, gotta look after that clutch 😅

V10 - 5L - 507 HP :D

amazing that you can pick a good one up for under £20k now

man...tiff , u have the best job in the world to me!!! this guy drive and describes the car with full of passion.....i love the E60 too much.

Every time I drive mine it puts a smile on my face

When BMW was actually good

The best car you should never own

love this video I can't wait to get my M5

tiff makes all cars shine.....this is my dream car

Top gear - Talk/comedy show Fith gear - Car show!

Tiff your truly amazing I swear

Tiff is brilliant. Nobody reviews cars like he does. He is in a class by himself. Bravo.

I love Clarkson`s reviews for their unique and often hilarious humour, and I love Tiff`s reviews, especially this one, because you can see that he has the ability to drive this awesome car on its absolute limit, and still under his full control. No disrespect to Clarkson, but I see two very different levels of driving skill here. It was an education to watch.

Wow you know Tiff never ever stops impressing me with how well he can drive... its unbelieveable.

WOW, I'm beginning to realize that the older this car gets, the more people miss it and watches this Video. I Love Tiff and I love the Chris Bangle E60 ///M5.

tiff revving that cold S85 to 4K 😬

Best sound ever off that V10...

this is the best video ever I never fel tired to see it, wow love tis car and Tiff is great driver , I would like to drive like this someday.

This car came out when i was 6 years old and i still want it to this day 😍

two legends in one video

i am a very big fan of 5 th Gear , Tiff needell's driving ability ( He was a racing driver), I love this car and I really love France.

Great Review. Great Car.

Tiff is such a great driver. I like his reviews too.

It is almost annoying how good a driver Tiff is and how effortless he makes car control look. I wish I was 1% as talented.

I own this one still now!! The greatest car BMW ever made!!

I test drove a 06' M5 yesterday and it was very impressive! A lot smoother than I expected on regular city roads. The jerkiness is a little annoying. I was running 90MPH in 4th Gear at only about 4,000 RPM, so I had 4,000 more RMP before redline. A very impressive car. Looking forward to buying it in a year or so

this man is amazing and the car of course! =)

That is truly a brilliant car! I have to have one of those before I die!

This EXACT VEHICLE was up for sale on ebay just 3 weeks ago. It has over 190k miles and looks a lot rougher than it did back then...

I agree, Tiff is an absolutely awesome driver, all his cornering are tight and very fast. I bet he can learn to drift well easily.

tiff is one amazing driver...and what an amazing car match made in heaven

Brilliant driver and good all round guy

Happy at the age of 16 I got to drive one for a few days. Absolutely amazing.

i love the way he reviews saloons... the lotus carlton/omega and now this m5 damn he pwns

Beautiful drifting Tiff :)!

Holy sh%# this video is 15 years old. RU-vid is also 15 years old. Man… 2006 was 15 years ago? I feel old. I just imagine returning to this video one day and it’ll say “30 years ago” and my generation will be long forgotten about…

Pause at 5.07 seconds the front of the car actually lifts with about 507BHP going throu FB the rear wheels aswell. What a car!

In my opinion, the E60 BMW 5 Series is like its own thing because it is pretty much different from other BMWs since other BMWs are the same

What a great car just the BEST

4:35, starts engine, revs really high and then shuts it off straight away. A real car guru.

It still looks soooooo good!

This guy is amazing and great driver!!

Well done Mikey, thats some achievement at your age. Good luck to you Kiddo.

This is an incredible car. Wonderfully tested by Tiff Needell.

LOVE IT! Yes, the CTS-V has been taking the lead in some magazine tests as far as performance, and I highly commend Cadillac for making such a world class car. BUT, the quality interior, mean looks, and absolutely INTOXICATING sounding exhaust are hard to beat. Still the Ultimate Driving Machine!

SICKKKKK! My next ride God Willing, i've got the E60 530i now think i'm ready for the M5!

man tiff is really enjoying drifting that car!

people can say what they want about tiff but this man can drive like a bad ass

What a wonderful car!
