The car is getting nicer and nicer by the episodes. Well done and as usual nice video. I liked the chrome grille though.

Coming along really nicely! Always had a soft spot for E61s and this one looks fantastic!

Great video👌 Fitted the same grills to my E90. However I perfer the silver grills on the E60, but both look good.

Ooooh car is getting more and more a real real beauty! Stuck wiper axles is somehow a common problem on lots of cars... Did that disassemble and cleaning, greasing on BMW, Renault, Opel (Vauxhall), vw... several... Keep going, I love this series! Greetings from Bavaria

Great progress, love the videos. E61's are great

Love the simplicity for these videos, keep em coming

Excellent job...I love the way you tidy your cars and make it real nice to drive and to look at :D

Lovely Jubbly, like the format matey.

Great video. Pleased to see the 5 has had some love! Had my F10 saloon coded last year and was amazed at the change in basic things like digital speedo, seat belt beep turned off etc. I think I saw you at the Autosport Show at NEC on 12.02.2020? Hope you enjoyed the day and keep up the videos.

Great video! Came up as a suggestion to watch on my homepage.. subbed!!

Fitted my black grills today. I just popped them out, didn't need to remove all the trim like yourself. Also fixed my rear wiper. Luckily, it was just the pin that slots into the housing. It was just sticking and not coming out far enough. Thankfully a free fix. Enjoying the vids. 👍 This time on Road and race. I fit an XLR race chip??

My dad had one of these, it was identical in colour and spec. It was great car and I think it still looks great even today. Had some catastrophic issue with a £10,000 or about $17,000 AUD. Repair bill. His mate back in their UK also had an identical one with the same issue. Can’t remember what it was of the top of my head though.

I think its plumbers putty that does a treat for alot less than clay bar so I hear not that I've actually tried it myself yet but I will once I've done pretty much all the jobs you're doing on your car on mine I can then think about giving it a proper valet. The brakes need doing first with a minor service then suspension bits and then on to the dent in the rear quarter and a proper wash! I cant wait till some slightly better weather comes our way ☀️

Love the BMW maintenance videos

Love the wagon diary, looking forward to the next video.😅😅😅👍👍👍

Was waiting for this one!! Just swapped/converted the M package on mine!!

coding e60 bmw with a bluetooth... its like playing with fire. Will that app recover fucked up control modules? :DDD

Great series of videos that keep coming back to! Re the rear wiper it still doesn’t look like it sits level at rest?my one seems to have longer travel range?

Keep going, good stuff👍

Touring content? I’m in! The e61 is the only Bmw touring I haven’t yet owned.

Would you be interested in the boot liner and the dog guard. Both OEM.

Very nice but i think e60 has less problems and e61 often get water in the trunk where it damages the electricity of the car , maybe you should check that out ?

great video, thanks

I kinda like the chrome ones better but with your color wheels black grills is nicer. I may swap my stock chrome ones back into my e90 M3. There is gloss blk oem ones on right now.

I just laughed when you removed the grills because I just pulled them off in 10 seconds without braking any of the clips, guess safe is safe

Starting to look like a well sorted car , what sort of MPG do you get out of it ?

Always entertaining! Love your approach on cars. Is the Clio gone?

Great stuff as always Neil.

Car looks great 👍

Add some safety wire on the bumper inserts. I have done that on my E61, and have even had a stone go through the blanking plate of one, but it is still there!

My rear winper on my bmw 330d e46 touring got stuck i just lubricat it with wd-40 once in a while same with the switch to the rear window🙂

Great work

Hi, Could you programe suspensine for alitle bit softer, becouse now is a litle bit to stiff? thanks

Wow. I removed my kidney grills withrout beaking them without removing all the parts you did :D i didnt know it could be done this easily. I suffered solid hour to get one revoved, but after that second one was piece of cake. Thanks for post-informative video tho"!!

Man you really did the kidney grills the long way lol

My 2008 BMW5 series key fob remote doesn’t work. I changed key fob battery, the diversity antenna and also fixed the broken looms but still doesn’t work. Any suggestion what it bight be wrong?

My Air suspension pump gave up I run it on a tyre air pump out of Lidl £14 work a threat I ran my e61 525d m sport on one for 3 years just to see how long it would last still working

What do you think about the e65 730d 218hp? Is the e65 more expensive at maintanance compared to e60?

Thanks for sharing this. I particularly enjoyed seeing you try to repair the rear windshield wiper. I don't think this part is unique to 5 Series, so I'm going to save the URL for this video to find when mine inevitably ceases to proceed!

Yep, did the rear wiper thingy too... Some seven years ago. Since then, no issues, due to the fact that avery once in a while I grease the shaft as you did... Also coded the digital speedometer and a few other things And to me, if you put on the black kidney grills, the window trims should match and also be black, so in your case the black grill are way better with your black window trims. Mine, which is orient blue, has chrome grill and window trims. I feel the black grills and window trims don't fit well with my cars' body color. But that is just a matter of taste (as the Romans said: "De gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum").

Nice video mate. Thank you. What camera do you use to film your video. Great quality

Very nice vid, thank you. BTW, what type of wand is it that you are using to wash?

rest point on rear wiper is too high, should be virtually horizontal

Noticed a Nissan 350Z on the side. I also own an e34 525 touring and an Infiniti G35 coupe 😀.

Is it true that BMWs are quite leaky? Looking at picking up a 3 series estate (320D) but ive heard a lot of talk from BMW owners in general about leaky seals and bad water pumps. Im not looking to get one if i have to take it back to the shop every few months to have seals replaced.

New music! Nice!

Good job! 😎🇺🇸

What is the title of the music used in your "Has owning an 11 year old M3 ruined me?" Video? No app has been able to ID it for me yet. Thanks!

This channel is fascinating, reminds me of gran turismo Menu's.

Great video as always, couldn’t catch what coding app you use, oh could you recommend a diagnostic app or does the app do it all ?

Lastly, any tips on improving the boot opening mechanism? Doesn't open as freely. Have to physically lift it all the way up as it just stays at the height. Tried to use wd40 on the joints as well as the struts?

performance grill????? How much torque increase did you achieve? Better drag coefficient ?

Nice video👍 BTW your rear wiper is still not sitting right, it should be parallel with the cars body at rest

What is the App you used for coding? I couldn’t quite make out what you are saying. Cheers.

Hi it would be good to see an engine clean / detailing video ;)

ceramic coating on glass? does it work any better then rainx

Can i please ask. Where did you get the monochrome BMW logos for your wheels ? Do they to bonnet badge also. Working on a full blackout for my F30 and they would look amazing ! Hmm i do like your wheels . May have to save up some ( many) pennies and get a set for my F30.

When's the M badge coming to compliment the black kidney grill/es? Just joking, it looks great. Seriously considered an E61 a few months back but found a Subaru Legacy estate cheap. I think the E61 is aging really nicely, still looks great 👌

Did one bottle of ceramic coating was enough for your car? Please respond :)

Do like the option of a digital speedo. The issue I had with my rear wiper was the window kept popping open. When I got round to replace it the window was jammed. So had to pull the cable apart and trigger the wires.

Can I ask what you doing for a liveing

Enjoy your vids, keep them coming. Not a fan of the black grill though, losses the cars class imo.

I will gladly accept your old chrome grills if you don’t need them :)

Why is everyone obsessed with black grills on everything. Just looks like someone stuck an eBay part on, original chrome ones make the grill stand out and look more sleek, and fitting with the over all styling of a 5 👌🏽

Ceramic coat outside? Is that ok?

Can you service the Z yourself ? And if you service the wagon yourself can you reset the service indicator correctly ? Just wondered

What has it been like on fuel?

the black kidneys are a must on every BMW unless its a 7 series or SUV

Is it me or does the car in the wash instruction look like an E60/61

Told ya there is no swirl flaps on 525d lci ??

I see you have a white polo aswell you must like your German cars another good flog

what the song iD please

This time next year the BMW will be a completely new car

What alloys did you put on?

Oh no, your cars broke. - removes air fresheners - ahhh all fixed 👌

Guessing you've already done the PAS fluid but here's how to do it properly.. You need a new reservoir too! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdeggdB12tidhps.html

I miss the 350z....

Are you a former mechanic?

I would NOT RECOMMEND disconnecting and removing the cable and the switch for the upper part of the back window if you just want to fix the wiper. You can leave these parts untouched and still replace the part for the wiper without any trouble. Be removing/ touching the switch as well you may damage/ misplace the seal so water may come in and mess with your electronics back there, leaving you with a non-working switch.

Step 1, open brand new Wash mitt and Clay bar glove. Step 2 put them on the floor.... Do you hate your paintwork?

Don’t leave your wash media on the floor to pick up grit. Throw those in the bin get some replacements as those are fucked now.

Should really of detailed the paint before the ceramic coating. You are just locking in swirls, holograms and scratches from previous years of washing incorrectly

There's nothing that can make an E60 look good! It's the only 5 series I just wouldn't buy.
