Awesome video bro! Thank you! I just bought a 2016 M5 Comp pack too. Do a video on how to use the different driving modes and suspension setup.
I don’t think the F10 M5 has rod bearing issues. And the issues that may have came up have to do more with people using wrong oil or not letting the car warm up properly before driving hard
They definitely have rob bearing issues.
@@Ace-dh5lz maybe 2011-2013 because the S63 motor was revised for 2014-2016 I think it also has a different code name I think it’s called S63TU
@@ahmedalyafi9652 all of them have that issue and the 2013-16 f10 m5 had the tu the x5 x6 ms of 2013 didnt. The only revision to the s63tu was in 2016 and the only change was fuel ejectors. Its all over the forums of spun rod bearings even on 30k mile well maintained engines
@@ahmedalyafi9652 late year 2013 production models also got the update too
Waiting for the oil to warm up at idle is literally why these things can happen lmao. Drive the car and do some research!
Very good review and recommendations
Great video thanks helps a lot
Appreciate the tips, I’m guessing I will just go ahead and pull the plug and forged my motor once I get my F10 M5
This guy is an absolute gentleman and very knowledgeable. I'm from Australia and will be in the market around January 2022. That's if we are allowed to leave our homes. :)
My condolences to you aussie folk
Did you ever buy?
Great car - expensive though. I wish Comfort Access was standard package for a car pushing 100k msrp. - also AUTO Stop/Start cant be permanently disabled has to be annoying and wear out starter/flywheel prematurely.
I have an 535i Msport FBO with JB4 because of you and it’s has been nothing but great!!!!. Now I guess I have to upgrade to an M5 because you did!! 😅
Great vid as always. Quick question, any suggestion in which extended warranty company to roll with ? Car shield ?
Thanks man! Really all depends where you take it to honesty as some shops or dealers only accept or do not accept certain ones. Mine is through Fidelity which my local BMW dealership does work with and has no issues with submitting claims, etc
I'm up north in jersey and i use pro guard for my extended bumper to bumper warranty and i take my car to the bmw dealership with no issues.
@@BMWFanaticI see one for 4500 should I get it?
PPI ranges 150-200$
Deposits on vehicles are usually non refundable.
Things to keep in mind.
You said 20 degrees what about -30? It only happens a couple of times where I live
You're the 3rd guy I've seen who found his in Alabama. I'm in Alabama and found mine in Texas. (Because there weren't any here lol)
Cheers!
Would you use OEM rod bearing when replacing or something like King?
King or Acl with the extra gap 0.025 i think it is BUT use a THICKER oil 5w50 or at least a thick w40 like redline. If you use a w30 or a shitty watery w40 that extra space will just make everything worse and the oil will not be able to work as a damper.
I only use redline, troy jeup agrees, and it makes perfect sense for this car.
This guy was spot on. If your trying to by an F10 M5 you better leave a deposit. Many people are trying to buy this car from all over the country. Its not a sales pitch.
I am looking into getting one at carmax and spend $4k on warranty for additional 50k miles. Then just enjoy the car and not worry about any issues. Then sell the car along with the transferable warranty with balance left.
That’s exactly what I did 😜
In another one of your videos you said the 2013 has the S63 and that’s why you stayed away, but in this video you’re saying the 2013 has the S63TU in it. Now I’m confused lol does the 2013 have the S63TU?
Whats with the 2012?
Are those project gamma intakes (and other front intakes) safe for rain or car washes? I'm concerned about getting the filters wet.
The filters have a water proofing shield on them that still allows air flow, but helps with the water. I do my own car washes so I just don’t spray directly on the filters. They have been tested to be fine in the rain which mine did great when I drove my M5 in the snow and the filters had snow covered on them then melted.
If you’re in the Midwest don’t! I took mine off and went back to factory which is actually cold air as well just gets filtered in line, front cones caused nothing but issues for more
How is ur m5 going broo ...?
So are you going to replace rod bearings?
Yep for sure
No this isn’t naturally aspirated like the E60 M5 or E92 M3.
yo yo!!!!
what trickle charger do you use??
i have the black and decker one. very lightweight and works well. Harbor Freight carries the same one made by Vector. I hardwired the connections to the battery, so when its not being driven i just pull out the charger out of the trunk and plug it in. Like an iphone haha!
@@samosasmimosas5831 AHHHH!!! Very Nice!!
When do you suggest getting the rod bearings done? Also I’ve yet to understand why everyone says 5w-40... admittedly I don’t I’ve in the US so summers are likely colder here BUT I’m 99% sure BMW know what they’re doing with oil grades. What they don’t know is how hard people drive and wether or not the car was fully warm when doing so. This is why personally I’d suggest more regular oil changes then different oil.
0w-30 is decent no doubt, but gets too thin when it’s hot in the summer months so bumping up the weight just a little helps with that
@@BMWFanatic what kinda temperatures do you see in the summer months out of interest? All the charts suggest 0w-30 is good for up to about 30 degrees Celsius but I appreciate this is very generic.
@@phillynarrowstraight here in southern US it can get up to 40 C 😅😅
You think they would have learned from previous m cars to sort rod bearing issues out on these newer m cars
It's 2023, and I still haven't heard of anyone with rod bearing issues with the s63tu
How did you get the rpm on the HUD?
Need to switch the HUD settings when you’re selecting your M1 or M2 settings
In my opinion it is a good car, but kudos to the author for the information
Thanks! Took me a little bit to gather my notes for this video, but wanted to put it out there and share the information
I wish you guys would say what you paid for these cars for those of us that are shopping for one of these beasts.
I do appreciate the heads up for the website to tell us what options a car has. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if they have the competition a large or not.
I bought mine for 36 in AZ with 55 on the clock. It was a steal- locally they were going for around 42-45
@@jamisonebert2398do you still have it? Maintenance?
@@Cosoapfkgi yessir!
My maintenance was 5w-40 oil changes at 5k intervals really- have done multiple rallies, road trips, mountain runs and was sympathetic to the cars mechanical needs if stuff like plugs, brakes, batteries wore out ASAP.
Its since moved a long way from stock tho.
Ive got an RK forged motor, upgraded DCT clutches, ,billet drop in turbos, f90 pumps and currently tuning for 50% ethanol. Traction issues aside, its been a good car
@@jamisonebert2398 that’s awesome to hear, the forums are so dreadful about the car but RUclips is a completely different POV
Hey do these have ambient lighting?
No not til 2018
They do have ambient lighting. All f10 do they're just plain. Pre LCI orange color only. LCI (2014-2016) have added white color along with the OG orange.
Other than the rod bearings, which are only an issue if the car is driven hard, the valve guide seals are the major culprit on those engines. The heat from the top/center-mounted turbos and cat converters causes the rubber valve stem seals to harden resulting in smoking exhaust due to oil burning. Servicing the seals as well as the rod bearings necessitates removing the engine from the car.
@The Insufferable Tool Other than replacing the valve guide seals periodically, the problem will continue as long as the turbochargers aren't vented to properly disperse the heat they generate in their confined location. I'm sure BMW is working on this, but so far, I'm unaware of any changes.
@The Insufferable Tool use turbo blankets and heat tape
Other than rods? If this shit exist then it's a piece of shit car.. Ticking 20.000 euro time bomb.. Put that rod fix on the price of m5 used and you are in r8 v10 plus money area.. If reliability is so bad then times and power doesn't worth nothing
Interesting I been doing m5 services for years and never encountered a customer having issues with rod bearings… any rod bearings on any car can go out equality it’s how often the oil is changed and maintained, dad owns a f10 for years drives it hard changes the oil maintenance has 150k miles and no issues! 🤞
@@Psitriesitall I know the reason why. Some officially retarded dealers obey the Germans suggestion of 0-30 oil that they use in cold weather Germany.. They suggest that oil for all.. Thats criminality.. Like in my country that oil becomes water in half hour..
how much is that jp4?
$699 for JB4 alone, add on $140 if you want to get the Bluetooth connect kit for data logging, code reading, firmware updates etc
I still like my e60. M5
Show the car
M IS M :)
yeah this didn't really tell me much. If you're a BMW M5 customer - you kinda know to check the history and its going to empty your wallet
it is all fun and joy UNTIL drivetrain malfunction warning shows up
That means u need a tune up mine did the same once I did a tune up it stoped
Just past the 1-year anniversary with my F10. Mileage was higher than yours but I would definitely recommend not using this as a daily driver if it has more than 60,000 miles on it!
Whats the fucking point of an M5....if not a daily driver...
@@DouEditz If you want to spend $60,000+ to maintain a 60,000+ mile car then be my guest lol
60k? IN WHAT UNIVERSE? Ive had mine for 2 years AS a daily driver- ita a car guys, not a nasa space shuttle
@@jamisonebert2398 I didnt bother to respond because it was a ludicrous statement....enthusiast cars are done for because of this kind of customer... we will all get appliance sthat do everything
@@jamisonebert2398 New engine, transmission, brakes, wheels etc. etc. etc. can easily run up north $60k. You've never heard of a f10 m5 break down before?
