BMW M5 E60 - 8 Things I Wish I Knew Before Buying

In today's video I talk about 8 things I wish I knew before buying a BMW M5 E60. I start off by heading down to the parking garage where we give the M5 a cold start and let it warm up. I talk about how I wish I had known was the iconic status of the car and its legendary reputation. I mention that shifting gears in the V10 M5 can be very slow and clunky in 1st and 2nd gear. Next, I talk about how the BMW Formula 1 team designed the V10 engine that went in the car. I tell you how bad of a winter car it is. Then, the headsup display, oil and smg transmission is up next. Finally, the last big thing I wish I knew before buying my BMW M5 E60 is that I'd never want to sell it!

I have owned these cars since 2011. Both 2006's. I don't care what people say, there are basic facts involved with them. ALWAYS use 10w60 oil in a stock V10, I used Red Line only, perfer the K&N gold filter. Do periodic SMG slushes, same with the dual type radiator, change diff oil regularly, PS fluid, brake fluid, warm the V10 up correctly, never use wheel spacers..there are really so many things I learned in my 11+ years of the E60 M5 cars, way too much to sit here and type..just one more, throttle actuators, most failures are in the plastic type gears. You can take them apart, clean it, re grease with better lubricant. Replace the high pressure vanos oil line asap...........

Best way to drive it in town is to pop it into manual and use the paddles. When you shift, lift off the throttle for half a second and jump back on it. Best way to drive in stop start traffic. Also easier on the clutch

Totally agree, saves the life of the clutch for sure

I have a 2007 M6 e64. I bought it new. It has never burned oil, but it will push that 1st half quart out almost immediately. It reminds me of an airplane I had once with a lycoming 540. You just learned to run it a quart low because that 1st quart was gone at takeoff.

On the SMG pump it's the motor for the hydraulic system that goes out. You don't have to replace the whole damn thing. You can just replace the hydraulic pump motor. And the part for that cost only about $445 US. And you don't have to get it from Europe.

In what oil consumption you refered .. it is not that amount of quantity.. it depends on the way you drive . 👍👍

@JohnWc5 2 жыл бұрын

Yup! I already replaced 2 throttle actuators, 1 idle actuator and 1 ionic sensor. It’s really expensive. So far my 06 has 68000 miles on it. Locally driven but a complete head turner. I’ll keep mine for now. 😁

Normal maintenance in my opinion: 2008 with 81K miles Rebuilt throttle actuators x2 spark plugs fuel injectors (maintenance to avoid hydro lock) done while replacing T/A's 4x coils, will replace other 6 soon Coolant lines (main x4), had small leak from upper right Alternator: Not bad, ended up it was the oil level sensor pulling down the IBS bus. Oil level sensor. filters, oil, etc (normal) I'm Happy!

The issue of clunky shift between the 1st & 2nd gear might be hydraulic transmission oil ... I had the same issue when the oil was in low level.. after increasing it took some days driving then it just stoped doing it...

or check your rear differential, its good the change that fluid on that every 30,000 I believe. don't quote me on exact miles but still that might be a good idea to have that serviced as well. I got mine replaced recently after putting new smg transmission in my 06.

@jamesbooth3360 24 күн бұрын

Run the clutch adaption process.

@scottsracing 2 жыл бұрын

Your shifts are clunky most likely because your car probably hasn't had clutch adaptation run on it in years / many tens of thousands of miles if ever. Pirate yourself a copy of ISTA/D (aka ISTA+ in some places) get a good K+DCAN cable and learn to run the clutch teach-in and adaptation. If that doesn't fix it, that may also be a sign that the clutch is almost worn out, old clutch springs can chuck the little button tabs that evenly distribute pressure and go for an excursion in the transmission case, causing all kinds of strange behavior. Also your oil consumption may be PCV related - mine uses 1 liter per 5000 miles of very hard, fast driving at well over 100K miles. Rod bearings can affect this as well.

@ChrisManjuris 2 жыл бұрын

This is probably the most helpful comment I’ve ever gotten bro thank you 🙌🏻 going to look into that. Run bearings need to be done for sure just for preventative maintenance. Appreciate all the tips!!

As far as SMG sluggishness on the e60 m5 a company called ESS TUNING has a software upgrade that smooths out that lag between shifts.
