Matt, the comment about being miserable didn’t go unnoticed. Sorry to hear that, hang on in there brother, peaks and troughs. 👍🏻

Lovely. A car-shaped car with no black wheels, no black badging, no black lettering, no blacked out windows and no black interior? Ah - those were the days. Beautiful car.

That's got to be £2500 all day. And the buyer is getting a great car

Regarding the aircon, it's working because the previous owners used it all the time (as it should be winter and summer). It mostly has issues with the system components when owners think they are being smart by turning it off. In reality, all you are doing is increasing the humidity and fogging up windows by turning it off. Leave it on all the time and you are VERY unlikely to have issues.

Ahhhhhh, the wonder grip van. All is well with the world😂

I’d happily give £2500 for that. You don’t see many e60’s with sub 90k miles!

Can't believe these are 21 now

The look on your face when you said it's not topaz blue it's mystic blue absolutely killed me! Brilliant.

what could go wrong with a £500 bmw 🤔

The diamond key can be charged by either driving the car or by an electric toothbrush. Use the base of the toothbrush ( it has a coil inside) and put that key inside - I am NOT joking. It takes roughly overnight to charge fully as it's a slow charge but it bloody works! The bad point is if you don't use your spare diamond key on a regular basis it will go completely flat and will need battery replacement (DIY only - it's sealed for life)

What you need is a fisherman’s friend 😂 Love this era BMW. We had these at work and always loved going out in them

22:29 - I’ve never heard you sound so happy.

The solidity of the older gen cars is why I have kept my e92 for 10 years

My brother bought a 2000 BMW 323i automatic for a few hundred quid. It had over 200,000 miles but turned out to have had a lot of recent maintenance and was a really nice car. He ran it for a few years with very few problems. It could still do the 0 to 60mph run in 8..something seconds, even with two mountain bikes on the roof rack!

The only auto I can find from 03 here in Germany is €4300 and has done 254,000km, it still always amazes me how cheap old cars are in the uk. Auto Scout also states €4300 is a good price

That is a beautiful car. Wish I could find one for £500 pound. I’d snap it up immediately.

My old e60 oil burner has 170k on the clock and while the paints abit scuffed, the service history was impeccable and Ive kept it up. So smooth and comfortable. Not really worth selling now so have decided to just keep it going. Great car and always loved the shape.

A half tidy cheap Beemer - with indicators. You don't get many of them to the pound.

Had one of these many years ago - actually it was my ex-wifes runaround. The engine in the 320 and 520 of this era was a 2.2 litre 6 cylinder and was a gem of an engine. Was available in both the 3 series and 5 series of this era and the 320 and 520 models beforehand. Smooth as can be and sounded wonderful.

Great video Matt! Hope all is going better for you now! That car is a beaut - Imagine if we all just bought and ran old cheap cars like that, rather than our expensive, financed, newer stuff... So much money in the bank, mortgage paid off, retire early, holidays.... I need to rethink my choices 😂

Lives in the shadow of the E39 but the E60 is ageing well...they don't rust and will do a million miles with decent maintenance.

These era of cars are the best, no electric crap, less computers, just a nice driving car

I've not actually watched this yet, but I can already hear Matt's catch phrase "I've massively overspent" lolol

I like the wheel design on this one - always liked 5 spokes.

Cream leather with wood (ish) trim 🤩 the ultimate !!

You've got talent, keep showcasing it

Even though the Berlingo doesn't have air conditioning, the interior is cool! Love the blue seatbelts and coloured upholstery. 😊

Couldn’t agree more about a straight six engine. I’ve got a merc e320 cdi straight six auto. Buttery smooth engine and gearbox.

Is it just me or was everyone waiting for Matt to pop open the bonnet to see if it was a 6 cylinder or not 😂

Sorry to hear that you're ill, Matt. Personally I despise having a sore throat. I can literally deal with any other symptom associated with a cold or flu, but not that one. Not sure if they sell it on your side of the pond, but Tylenol Sore Throat syrup is the only thing I've found that works well, and instantly. It works so well and fast that after about a full minute, if you feel no relief, call up your doctor and make an immediate appointment because you have a serious infection in your throat. (Not even joking. Found that out on my own, the hard way.) Biggest issue with the syrup is liver damage. But you'd have to chug several gallons upon gallons of the syrup to actually do any damage to yourself. So, no worries there. As for the car, don't know what to say. ONLY $500 for one that runs *THAT* well and clearly has been taken care of? Wondering if the owner was desperate for money. Hopefully after 20+ years he just found another car he likes better, and just had no clue about pricing. Oh well, Cheers Matt. Hope you get better very very soon.

As I was watching this, I paused and made this comment. Love Matt's excitement when he sees these cars. I was waiting in anticipation and squinting to see if I don't see anything in that owner's manual...to see if it is the 6 cylinder 😂 When Matt said, "I suppose we can open the bonnet" my first thought was, oh yes we could do that... almost as if I was there next to Matt. I love your videos and channel, Matt. Have a great evening.

Loved the comment about BMW indicators! 😂

This type of spec was the main thing that drew me to my old GS300 (in that car's case, it was a deep maroon with a beige interior and beige headlining) - a lighter colour, light interior and smaller wheels are the least try-hard, most mature spec for a luxo-barge, which suggests the owner was someone with the money and will to actually take care of it.

Great Video Matt!!!! My 2010 E60 with 200,000 on the clock is the most solid car I've ever had, and the air-con still works😁

Lovely scenic view of an overflowing bin hate to think what's in the green bag

A tidy 5 series in the right spec and condition will soon find a new owner. The badge will sell it, just pray it doesn't come back.

Another great video Matt!!! Must admit, the Bangle BMW's have a kind of timeless look, after the initial shock, they're now some of the best looking BM's. Can't send a strepsil, so 🤗 hope Ur on the mend! Keep em coming. 😉👍

Should be as reliable as an old Toyota. 😂😂

2.2 straight 6 M54B22. E60 never had a petrol 4 pot in its lifetime. Ever.

I had that engine in my old E46 SE. Loved it, best car out of all the lads at 20 years old 😂 👌🏼

Matt, I hope you're doing well. Keep your chin up and keep taking no notice. Great video as always. And, I'm happy to see the Berlingo!

New video! Get in!!!

Hi Matt!! Came across your channel recently and just wanted to say that I love it!! ... Been binge watching your videos over the last few weeks!! ... It's like Homes Under the Hammer, but for cars!!👍🙂 .. Love it!! .. Keep up the great work, mate!! .. And best of luck with business!!👍🙂

Talking about aircon, many years ago travelling in India in the ubiquitous Hindustan Ambassador taxi, the driver said "do you want aircon", if you said yes they would wind the windows down or drive on the shady side of the road. I doubt any had aircon, and you would be lucky if even the wind down windows worked. Stick to the Tuk Tuks Yes the Beemer looks very good, and of course the indicators worked OK.

Thats so clean, unabused and mint! Great video and work as always Matt! :D

Had a 530D from the same year, loved it but was pricey to upkeep. Great vid, as ever, Matt. Lovely turnaround. Definitely the worst cold ever though, get yourself dosed up. Chin up my friend, sunmerbhas finally arrived and you have a great business which is spreading happiness around KZfaq world and making you money (I hope). Keep in keeping on. 👍👍

I'm quite pleased with this... always cracks me up Matt, love the format of your videos 👍

I really love that you know everything about your bmw’s!

Remember when this Bangle design E60 model was released it was controversial due to the design but it has stood the test of time extremely well. A good service record has meant that there is still plenty of life left in this 21 y.o. car. That 2.2 litre 6 cylinder motor was a 'peach' and contributed to a rewarding drive. The leather interior is also beautiful. Well done.

Lovely cars these... absolute bargain at £500. Had the diesel version loved it then been on the F10's ever since. Just solid. Fast enough and very comfortable. Great work.

That little ninja car airfreshner above the driver door gone unnoticed hiding for its life 😂

Your a top bloke, such a nice personality and the way you always get your cars sorted right for resale.

Another great video keep them coming.

Great video HPA, great work, nice car👌, hope you are feeling better Matt👌😀👍

i rode around in one just yesterday and today you post this. exact same spec and colour, it is indeed a nice car

Nice vid Matt as usual get well soon mate 👍

Hang in there king 👑 hope you carry on feeling better

I almost can't believe how good shape this is in after £1000 total spent. Everyone watching this must be feeling scammed with whatever car they've bought. I sure do, why did I spend £10k when I could have gotten something that's 90% as nice for a tenth of that.

Not the outcome I was expecting. You did a good job!

Ah! The Bangle-butt! A now timeless classic. Well done in keeping thus one in the road! I like the leather interior on this one!!

What a lovely job you (and the people you've used) have done on that BMW. it looks lovely :) I hope you're feeling better soon :)

Hi Matt "My top spec berlingo"😂😂😂 Your sense of humor is great And I think thats also what make your videos different 👍 Regards

Great styling Mr Bangle,always fancied one but just had 3 series which I enjoyed driving.Cheers Matt.

Us Matt's all have our miserable periods, but glad to hear you're all good now. Keep up the solid work mate, love your videos especially ones like this involving old straight 6 beamers :)

Very early E60- October '03 car. The first customer cars were 53 plates so this is first 2 months, maybe one of the earliest left! You know its a decent car when it has the stickers on the toolkit too.

I remember when you used to get cars for 200 pounds a few years back this is a amazing car for 500 👍

We had 320i growing up and part of the fun of the relatively gentle acceleration compared to the larger engines was that you got to hear that straight six sound track for longer. You also had to work it harder. Which it enjoyed. Was replaced with a 328 which he liked less as it was too quick. Then a 525i which he loved followed by a 535d which was much faster but lacked the glorious soundtrack

Good video Matt a friend in the next village bought a 2014 M5 non runner , would not fire at all bought it for 1k cleaned it up , fitted new coil packs or whatever they are called and it runs smoothly

Nice one Matt, what a result.

“Let me just park up somewhere scenic” and parks next to an overflowing bin. 😂 Another great video Matt, I’ll keep watching them as long as you keep making them.

Great looking car. I have an F10 in alpine white and love it. Get well soon Matt!

What a bargain! Can't lose, nice to see you get a car you don't have to over spend on lol. Your channel is still entertaining as ever! Great work, make sure you find time to relax 👍

In the car park it looked a little tired, but that is a lovely car. I was thinking "Why was it only £500?" but it just seems like a genuine bargain. That six cylinder sounded lovely as well. And they were the sort of car that someone upgraded from an old 90's Mondeo to. To quote Matt; That must've been some car when it was new.

Absolutely love this shape of 5 series, loved my 2004 530d. back and forward to spain in 2013 and 14.

Low mileage, extra key ordered not too long ago and a working airconditioning. Looks like the previous owner liked the car (except for the cosmetic things).

I love that Berlingo, good honest motor and really comfy.

Great video Matt. And nice to see you getting pleasure out of a twenty plus year old car. Maybe you could do a searching autotrader video where you do best viable bargains from the noughties where you have to select cars from 2000-2009? Viewers would be interested to know what to look out for when considering an older car. And what brands you’d most consider for cars of that era and age. (Thinking your old 300k miles road trip Volvo would have made that list!)

Great to see an E60 on the channel, great cars... Cup holders are a very common issue..... generally a pain in the arse. As for the parking sensors, check there isnt water in the spare wheel well and that the module hasnt gotten wet....

My favourite shape 5 series, not messed about. And the Wonder Grip van is back, and relax....

Love these video's love the old 5 series

I got given an '04 530i last year. Serviced it and had the air con recharged and its a bloody brilliant car. Comfy, fast and just a great drive. Similar milage to yours too.

I had the 325 of this era and used to drive it to Oxford every week for sometime and thrashed it like mad and it never let me down. Great car

I would give you a hug, colds are not nice🫂 and as usual another really good video

The wonder grip van really is grippy it just doesn't want to move. Love the 5 series.

What a cracking car. Love that colour combination, blue with tan leather, looks really nice. I fully agree that era of 5 series are great car. Hope the cold gets better. Wife’s got Covid, that seems to be making a comeback 🤦🏻‍♂️

Great car, good looks and with care that engine will be good for 200k plus, well done on this, you obviously have some great car refurb people at your back, Love this. Well done!

Been looking at a lot of E60s online. The design's really growing on me.

Hi Matt, awesome content as usual! I wouldn't expect anything less. Call me sad but I genuinely look forward to each video you put up! Your content is well worth the watch. Stay positive though Matt, we all get a bit down and fed up sometimes... No matter how much money/wealth each of us have we are all still human and get the same feelings! Keep doing what your doing Matt your doing a GREAT JOB! Most importantly keep buying these cheap cheerful sub £3k cars they are the cars we all love to watch and see you go all out on 👌

Hey up Matt 👌👌

Those alloys are truly magnificent. Great video as always. Cheers 🙏😎 Man's flu is terrible 😂

Just getting over a cold myself. It was a bad one. You have my sympathies.

Glad to see you adding the fuel in the costs now.

Good era of bmw that, very nice motor, im smoking round in a 635d and i love it

I had this shape 12 years ago and loved it sold it after 5 years of solid motoring

Well done Matt, you haven’t massively overspent 😂. This BMW has certainly been transformed, it now looks amazing, great video, as always❤.

I had one with the N62 V8. It did 22mpg round the doors and over 30 on the motorway. They are really nice cars.

Hi Matt love that model and style of BMW . Jimmy has done brill job on the paint work hope your voice get,s better not sure about the hug thing .

That is one fine bin, hope to visit sometime. Nice BMW and the indicators work! 😂🎉😊

Matt the first video of yours I ever watched was a review of a BMW 5 series and was brilliant. Got me hooked to HPA entertainment and watched them all ever since especially JLR products, especially gorgeous range rovers 👌

Another great video ..I do like that shape 5 series..I know-when the first press releases were shown..people were saying what the hell have they done..but I think a very late shape 530d M-Sport in Zinnobar Red what a peach..👌
