HOW BAD are the Rod Bearings in my 'Unabused' BMW E60 M5? 

eisenmann exhaust?

Please get a scorpion this time

Eisenmann like the Dinan stroker m5

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 😏😏😏👌👌👌

Great video v10 m5 content 👌

Nice one bro - Been enjoying your content also!👌🏼

Namz make more content please

Same for me but im to much of a wimp to give it a go these days haha.

Man like Namz💯

I suggest M5e39 restorations he's very good and technical give a watch and let me know

No lol

Glad to hear mate! 🙌🏼

Thank you 🙌🏼

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.

@@TheM5Dog Exactly!

These cars are pretty reliable if you take proper care of it keeping always in mind that it is not you average toyota corolla its a good car

@@lexburen5932 100%. These were £60k plus when new (mine was probably closer to £70k with the options it has), so there always going to have £60k plus running costs. You can't run these on lemonade money!

Thank you as always brother! 🙌🏼

For a performance car pretty normal but not for people that drive everyday cars.

What a car

You’d be suprised there’s quite a few out there driven by older guys who just commute with the occasional burst😂 M3 different story though

You never know..there might be a pensioner that thought it was a normal 5 series...

🤣

Same hahaha it's educational

Get an oil test done. Mine was tested at Munich Legends at 105,000mi and the metal content was very low so it can be down to how they've been driven.

Thank you for the advice mate much appreciated. I guess though sadly it would be a waste of time for me? 🤷🏼‍♂️ as I drive the car very hard as and when I take it out 🤣

It is the only diesel that revs over 5,000 and becomes a jet engine

What? I’m too high for this.🤪

@@cebobiyela9800 huh😂

90 mins away from me 👊🏼 and thank you! 🙌🏼

They did and it was. It’s an issue with S65 V8 and S85 V10 which are basically the same engine, S65 with 2 cylinders chopped off. Awesome engines that were designed with too fine tolerances on the crankshaft/rod bearings.

Will do some cosmetic stuff but it’ll be an OEM+ kinda look; as I think they’re pretty perfect standard imo

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!

The values of these are only going one way, and it isn't down.

@@TheM5Dog yh...realistically tho....literally what car has depreciated in the last year?....the mix of a crazy covid car market and the slow impending death of the combustion engine has just sky rocketed car prices...especially anything special or performance orientated. U could pick up e92 M3s for like a bag of chips and now they're like a serious investment....just because they're now appreciated as the only v8 M3....prices are CRAZY!!!!....sad to see unfortunately.

@@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.

If you have looked after it why not get the oil tested for peace of mind. But with low mileage you've probably changed the oil every 7,000 miles and that will A have helped a lot and B be cleaner oil that you test so erm.
