My advise when you want to buy a used performance car like the M5 and it has Landsail tyres or Hifly tyres or whatever cheap Chinese brand, just leave it immediately. These owners apparently cannot afford reasonable tyres. That says enough about the state of maintenance.
lmao, absolutely true. i've bought my standard a3 8p from 2010, it has hifly tires which i'll change for the next season. absolutely shit maintenance by previous owner, had to replace almost everything on the car (engine was fine and still is), but atleast it's fully clean now xD
UNCLAP IT!🎉 Actually, I think that if you repair the things that the Seller claimed to have fixed, you may help your case, as you can better illustrate the extent to which they deceived you and the danger that deception put you in, in my opinion. Plus, you have monetary loss by making repairs that weren't supposed to exist, as they told you the work had been done. Also, these repairs were believed to be your jump off point, and your upgrades from there were initially the videos we got excited for. So, if you document the heartwrenching discoveries in detail, you'll have visuals in court. I think you'll be fine unclappin' the e60 M5, in my opinion. Kudos! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👩🏾
Hey brother, I’m happy you decided to work on the M5. Your channel deserves it and you will ge more out of it instead of holding content back. If anything, those rod bearings and other parts can serve as evidence they were never replaced. Join the auto shop on their journey to destroy those scammers and use every part you replace as evidence. Even an oil analysis if possible. Keep up the good work.
Nice choice I just did the shocks and struts but used the Bilstein B8’s with the h&r’s. They are shorter in height and literally meant for lowering springs. Car feels much better
I'm getting the same setup as you, as I'd heard that B4 & b6 shocks were for use with standard springs. I'm concerned that the ride may be too hard as the roads in the UK are crap. What's your experience been like?
This man boutta get the CSL intake manifold for this beast! Cant wait to hear that sir! Big maintenance moves and upgrades. I cant wait to get out of debt to do all this to mine.
That trick he used to pop that rotor loose was to smooth! #smoothcrminal 🤣 Glad your getting stuff going on the m5!! Been busy with work so catching up on your vids...... liked the the way you formatted the repair parts of the vid......gotta snag another of your shirts pretty soon! Great work Christian 💯
Great to see you doing ALL this to the car, is a lot of money, but in return you'll get a lot of car. Carbon Plenum incoming and exhaust, that M5 is going to sing. 🤘
I am loving the build, e60 m5 is one of my top 3 best sounding cars ever, so happy you are giving it the love it deserves. The best sounding one I have heard in person had infinity design equal length headers and ITBS, a really throaty intake sound, wish you the best of luck with you legal action and looking forward to more videos :)
Hope everything works out! I know I want a E61 with the six speed or get one with the SMG and do the conversion (because i want it and content). So definitely following this series for updates. As always, keep your head up and continue the amazing work
Dream car! Thank you for the content! I’m sure this won’t mess with the trial, as long as you keep all the old parts and the old bearings. The old bearings are a clear indicator that the previous owner lied and they were never changed and whatever else he said they did.
This makes me ponder how many scammers are actually out there that have "paperwork" for the car. People seldom verify it with the shops... and it would be an easy way to sell unwanted cars for a much higher price with little to no repercussions. Be careful out there folks.
Very happy to see all that improvements and pieces replacements. I also had made kind of replacements in some parts of my M5. Very good, congratulations.
I commend you! I KNOW your heart wasn't into it, but it looks like things are coming together. Thank you for this video. Keep pushing forward. I'm anxious to see me on this M5!
I own a 335xi myself, love the car, but I would never own another BMW again. It is an absolute nightmare to work on, and most parts cannot simply be bought at an auto store. I commend you for this work sir, good luck!
Nice choice of Bilstein stuts and H&R springs combo... I have the same setup on my E60 M5.... It will be a little more firm than stock but you won't regret it!
I just don’t understand how you thought a car flipper did 13k of work on the car before selling it. And easy car fax would of told you how long they had it for
I just bought a 2014 RS5 and the first thing I had to address was 1100 for evap system they hid! Love the car though. M5 looks killer, sorry to see the issues.
Karma’s a bitch, hope they rip that seller a new one. I have ZERO tolerance for people who do this crap. It’s just like you said, someone who may have bought this on their last dollar because it was their dream car would have been totally fucked over.
Having owned this car for 10 years I can tell you the hawk break pads for the e60 m5 are terrible and will make a lot of dust and not last as long as oem. Also the hgk spark plugs will go out fairly quickly and you’ll be playing wack a mole replacing them one by one. Also oem ignition coils are pricey, but remember that aftermarket’s will stick and break on there. Have fun! 😊
Loving the content. Also liking the positive outlook after being scammed on the purchase. Kudos. I got my e60 m5 a couple of months ago. Look into the infinity designs CSL intake and plenum. Carbon fibre goodness it looks and sounds incredible! I've got one ordered getting fitted next week! 😀😀
Nice video, man that ramp makes things so much easier... with regards to the control arms, i hope you tightened them with weight on them, they must be tightened in the ride height otherwise they will wear out very quickly!
The sellers need to be brought to book to pay for their sleazy business practices. I hope you and the shop they forged documents from can nail them thoroughly.
those bearing were cooked. most likely due to maintenance neglect (too long of an oil change interval) and contamination in the oil. wonder what the main bearings look like. get a scope cam and see what the piston tops look like (if they are all carboned up and nasty). might be a good idea to run some seafoam or some other decarbonization cleaner thru it.
I think it would help your case honestly! You can show all the parts that were claimed to be fixed and bam! Evidence right there, can't fake it then! Excited to see the M5 in its true glory soon. However, dealing with a similiar case, touching it means also, you could've put those bad parts in too. Legal doesn't like that I guess.
control arm bushings need to be torqued with the car on the ground or they will twist and prematurely ware. and the springs need to sit in the groove of the bottom of the strut.
@@VehicleVirals in that case it’s understandable. Maybe in the future you could give product 49-234923 a try. It is essentially a B8 package with more adjustability. The B8 struts actually have a shorter piston shaft to accommodate for lowering as to still have adequate positioning and travel. The B6 are prone to bottoming out with lowering springs.
I love it and thank you for making more videos to help BMW users like me! My 2005 BMW 520i is having a problem that the repair shop can't figure out! 😨 .Can you help me? After the engine was rebuilt, the problem was that the throttle was not even. When I first started the engine, the throttle went up and down in a sine wave. If I increased the throttle immediately, the car might stall. After waiting about 1 minute, the car could go but the throttle was still slightly sine wave. After about 100km, the car sometimes continued to have the throttle problem but it was worse 😰! However, the car didn't report any errors! Please help me ❤
Hope you plasti gauged them bearings lol I know a kid at work who didn’t plasti gauge and just slapped new be bearings in his e92 m3 and it spun 700 miles later lol
Great content bro , I did same and much more to my M5 , I need to ask why does my rpm drops at idle when I rev it, it drops to 500 tpms and thr gains back to 750 rpm, what should I check , evap vents just changed , could be a vacume leak, or anything ?
Well , did u know that I can tight up control arms only when the car is on the ground? U might have to change them again at this point. Because that’s how u get your bushings spun. Rod bearings were tired but not completely done yet. Mine were only cupper ….

We did tighten them with load

You should put up an expense bar. Reference for those looking for these cars and a ballpark of what things are gonna cost.
You're doing the right thing, taking legal action that's what's up!!!!

Dang you make it look easy
What I do know is that a car lift actually helps . So I guess Mt channel needs a car lift and a shop
Im glad im satisfied watching this stuff on youtube vs buying and doing it myself.
control arm bushings need to be torqued with the car on the ground or they will twist and prematurely ware. and the springs need to sit in the groove of the bottom of the strut.
Both done.
Just FYI the B6 struts are meant for stock ride height. You’ll want B8s if your using lowering springs.
B8's aren't offered for the M5

YOU HAVE TO follow suit against those scammers. Not doing so is the reason they continue to scam others.
If you won't do it for YOU... do it for US!!!
Minor setbacks for major comebacks! This M5 E60 build is going to be clean when it’s all said and done
It’s gonna be the same as all the other e60s lok
happy you did get things sorted
Christian probably you’re like me we have love and hate feeling for the e60 M5 I know is a lemon but love the sound 😅
e60 m5 on te37’s and I know you got a exhaust but full titanium exhaust with the v10👀
Had a 2004 545i with SMG and had non stop SMG Issues and was never able to find the problem. 6k later I sold the car.
Those bearings were pretty worn. Would have been nice to see the condition of the journals.
Keep it moving, bro. I like your style. 💪🏽🙌🏽✊🏽
stay positive man!
Never tighten rubber bushings when the car is in the air. Do it when suspension is loaded. Otherwise those control arms will be shot again very fast.
It was done with preload.
Missed the fuel injectors, really important part
Great editing keep up the good work
It's always a good day when bro uploads a video😁😁😁💃🏿💃🏿
Even though its super scummy what the seller did, I still think you got it for really cheap so you are not at loss if you invest in fixing it.
Why no replacement of VANOS high pressure line? You will open the engine again pretty soon 😂
Love this build keep going🙏
They will settle. Especially if they have an attorney like Harvey Specter.
love this car & glad you keeping it for the content !
love the channel bro. keep striving forward 😎
Remove the rear light tints and it’s near perfect 👌🏼

The rod bearings are surprising small.
Wondering why you didn’t go with the Bilstein B16 instead? I just put them on my e60 (non-M5) and they’re awesome!
You better set a example with your audience and teach these guys it's not okay. This is beyond fucked up.
Awesome work bro
Great content bro , I did same and much more to my M5 , I need to ask why does my rpm drops at idle when I rev it, it drops to 500 tpms and thr gains back to 750 rpm, what should I check , evap vents just changed , could be a vacume leak, or anything ?
I had to do all this on jackstands for my e92. Knuckles were bleeedn lol.
😂
Bilstein's usually got built-in bump stops. All my B6 dampers had them. No need for those. :-)
The fronts do. Not the rear.
@@VehicleVirals Hmm. Come to think of it mine was B12 Pro-Kits - those are likely B8 dampers 🤔
May as well go all in and supercharge it in the coming months 😂
F10 M5 brake calipers show always be the first upgrade.

Man this thing is gonna be such a beast
Well , did u know that I can tight up control arms only when the car is on the ground? U might have to change them again at this point. Because that’s how u get your bushings spun. Rod bearings were tired but not completely done yet. Mine were only cupper ….

@@VehicleVirals did u change vanos high pressure line?) it’s a must! Btw looks like your car was driven pretty gently cuz bearings not that bad
Remember the end goal make it happen car is a keeper once your done
B6 are not designed for lowering springs, theyre designed for stock height suspension.
Exchange them for B8.
B8's are not offered for the E60 M5
Its fine . Many use b4 with lowering too and its fine .
I figured the shop would sue. Forging a companies name is a big no no
I do all of my own work on my E60 M5. Gives me me PTSD of all the work I’ve done.

that thrust arm bushing was torqued without being at ride height thats why it failed like that... ask me how i know
