Annual Service & Top-Speed Run - V8 BMW E39 M5: The Autobahn Mile-Muncher

Wait did he do some modifications or can thos car really go 300 kph

Living the dream there bud. What a wonderful car. My absolute favourite BMW

You really surprised me at the end with Sabine tribute.

The BOSS❤

incredible car

Watching that brake fluid sit on the wiper mech gave me the icc!

MAYLE in the trunk...

I don't own the E39 M5 but I'll watch incase

How is the fuel consumption of this car? :0

Its glorious

Hi sir. I'm trying to find what did ypu do to change licence plate lights to the f10 led ones. You commented on the e60 the light is perfect and i agree, and you changed as well on the e39. Its just direct swap or you have to change the wires a little bit? In my case is the e90 platform. Best regards

Seat belt tip on itself deserves 1 million likes!

Hi there! What shade of Blue is this E39? Avus blue? :)

What an absolute dream car. Well done mate

Just so you know my wife doesn’t like you 😁 after driving BMW’s for quite some while now and MANY MANY MAAAANY other cars in between while always having an E30 that I’m wrenching on; today.. I chose violence and finally bought my 1st M car! I finally got a 2000 BMW E39 M5 so, thank you my good man! You and your channel were a turning point in my life as a BMW… lover? Customer? Amateur mechanic? I dont even know how to call myself, but THANK YOU 🙏 you should’ve been born earlier so you could influence me years ago, not in my early 40’s! May you live long and strong and prosperous 🍻🍺🍻

Could you please give access to the spreadsheets you use? It would be a great help with the right part numbers as you recommend to not use certain brands for replacement

didnt the e39 just have 2 exhaust pipes on one side?

Absolutely love the analogue dials, seeing a speed needle climb is different high. Hate those digital screens now a days!

Hi bro, talking about high speed handling, wich is better for you M5 v10 or M5 v8 regards,keep going!!!!

On your E39 M5 what springs, shocks, and front mounts are you running on this car? Ride height looks good

Good job ease off

Anyone else catch the “incompetent shop” note at the bottom of column C of his repair spreadsheet?

About the stiffness off the first to second gear maybe you should remove the cluch cdv valve (restriction) on the gear box slave cylinder line!

i have a 2001 M5 2nd owner from around 30,000 miles. now 240,000 and every mile and year i have owned iti love. the car makes me feel good. and now days there aren't as many so i actually get pulled over by people and the dealership tells me only two in the area i live in central oregon usa thank you for the video

Hi there. Looking at buying one a 2000 model. Just wanted to ask if there are there alternative improved replacement timing chain guides to the original ones available as these seem to be a common fault?

Please do a e36 ,

"Not going to drive it in the winter anymore..." cut to snowing B roll

Owned 2 M5s. Lemans Blue 02 and black 03…. My favorite cars but I’m not a mechanic so services way too much… 😎

Life begins after 300 km/h!!! This beauty needs to drive fast, as you can! Bravo!

Wil een e39 m5 kopen,,, rond de 200.000km,,,waar moet ik op letten????

Love the channel. I had an opportunity to drive an e39 M5 on the autobahn near Berlin around 2002. I got it up to 165 mph and I remember wind noise was quite loud. I also remember the front end of the car feeling light, I am impressed with your autobahn runs and wonder if you feel that at all. I owned 2 LeMans blue M5s and agree with you that it is the best looking BMW!

i love this Car, thats sound man.....amazing. Gracias! desde Argentina

The best sounding V8 ever. The last real BMW.

Only thing I dislike on BMW is the overestimated speed. On the E60 M5 330 on the dash is actually about 198-200kmh on the GPS. On this one, the 300 is most likely 275-280kmh GPS tops. My 240 on the dash is actually 217 in reality

Have you done any reinforcement on the rear subframe?
My cracked at the transmission bushing holder. I think. What a nightmare. But mine m5 had 380.000km and still running strong. Man I miss it.

I miss my e39 m5. I should've ever sold mine. Now it's impossible to buy one . The price it's unbelievable.
How much they go for in Germany and around in Europe? It's probly cheaper to import to Canada. I am looking for 2001 and up. Thanks for your videos.
Amazing content

5301X, $1200 starter

New drinking game, every time he says Autobahn!

In a the Video about the e46 m3 you bought on vacation you stated that you used atf 1100 in your e39 m5 but aß we can see its mtf 5100 insteatd :D
So whats the better manual gear box oil ?

“If you have any suggestions, I’ll ignore them”😂
Addicted to this channel. We are watching a master at work.

Thats why bmw engineering built this M5 for durabality and high speeds.

Love old engine with oil dipstick! How useful it is! And hate engine with direct injector. Sound like farming machine!

I how about getting an E63? But the earlier version with the 4.4 engine and let us see what you can do to one of them, I’m being totally selfish as I have just bought myself one and would love to see more content online about them

Just found your channel and I love it great informative and funny keep it up

Di you have any experience replacing the servotronic ? The original part is no longer available from BMW. I have seen messages people using one from E65 or E66

That car is so smooth its definitely one of my favorites
