2001 BMW E39 M5 - THE BEAST IS BACK! (POV Binaural Audio)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июн 2021
- 8 Years into owning this 2001 BMW e39 M5 and its time for a refresh. Craft Detailing (craftdetailing.com) at Garage 42 has completely transformed this Carbon Black paint with a multi stage paint correction and ceramic coating. The swirls had swirls and now I'm finally able to show the car off closer than 20 feet! Next up will be some mechanical love with cooling system and suspension replacements.

Anyone else have Rear Main Seal leaks on their S62? How bad? Blown away by the paint correction. I never thought the car could look this good after all the swirls. Huge thanks to Craft Detailing for transforming the paint.
Ah man, I always change the rear main seal when doing the clutch. It's just a pain always pulling out the transmission.
We did replace it when the clutch was done and It held up for a while but seems to have let go :(
@@TedwardDrives try putting some AT-205 Reseal with a fresh oil change. I've used that to stop many leaks on the cam gears on my 2JZ motors. It works very well for real main seal leaks as well
Preventative maintenance as always
If it appears that your RMS is leaking after replacement, don’t forget to check your coolant/oil heat exchanger in the valley of the V. If its o-rings have failed, it can pour oil out the back of the motor in such a way that it leaks out like an RMS
Speed isn’t the test of a fun car. The E39 M5 and E46 M3 are some very classy cars. Great driving experience. And no you don’t need 600hp unless your on the track regularly doing time lapse. Great car, great video. Awesome gem of a car!
Well said!
E46 is far from classy, but i agree with everything else
@@henrym5889 because everyone chases those numbers. Such a flex when a dude goes I have 700hp or 860hp. Just gives many guys this big ego energy I don’t understand it either. Don’t matter how much power your pushing if your ratios are horrible
Power to weight ratio does make more sense. I think 10 lbs per hp is a sweet spot. Anything better is nice but once you get below 8 lbs/hp it tends to be too fast for street driving in the US.
@@hueyfinesse classy from a sense of looks good for it’s age even today and driving experience is also quiet enjoyable.
Any BMW with that steering wheel is peak BMW. They never made one as good as that after it, love it in my E46
Dude i agree 100%. I actually refused to buy any other E46 without this steering wheel, it just belongs into these cars.
I love it in my e46 as well, but I feel like it's slippery, especially when you do someting crzy. I'm thinking about covering it with alcantara
the 2000's had some great cars
@@KairatIbrayev maybe it's just a little bit dirty from heavy use? That's what my old one was like so i got it refinished in leather, now it's great :)
What wrong with the steering wheels on the 2021 BMW models they look the best in my opinion.
Wheels never get old to look at lol
Prefer the aero dish alloys on the earlier - don’t know the correct Enumber 😀
@@alfamonk E34?
I always really love your "Drive and Talk" style of videos (especially in BMWs lol). Its like a sense of having a conversation with someone in the passenger seat while simultaneously enjoying the drive. Pretty authentic feeling
Haha true
i like car, car go fast
Car also be pretty
me too like car
Gas vroom vroom
Car do job
me liek car too
imho, i think a sports sedan anywhere in the 300-400 hp range is the sweet spot. and this car is right there. don’t think anyone owns an E39 M5 to beat 0-60 mph times and lap times. it’s the driving experience…
The E39 was peak BMW. After the E46 it all went south. No end to the rot in sight yet.
When my e92 is parked next to the e39 I barely even see the m3 lol
@@TedwardDrives the last good year for making cars was 2007 ever since they been making terrible engine that are extremely unreliable. Best car they made are 1980s-2006 3 series, m3, m5, 5 series, and 7 series
That's what I always thought. e38 e39 just legendary cars so pleasing to look at. Never owned one. But Always thought everything after those is crap.
Personally like the M3 E92 and E90, as that was the peak of the N/A engines, before they started turbocharging and downsizing on all models.
The best M5 Generation
That m5 is awesome tho Tedward
it's a keeper for sure
such a fantastic car. one of the best M cars ever made.
another one is the E30 M3
should i get it as my first car? ill be honest i think it might be a bit too fast... and also quite expensive
@@JosueHernandez-nu5cp trust me, get a 520i first and after you desire the power of the m5 buy it you will be grateful for it.
@@OlivierEdits yea i can defiantly see why since i don't wanna become like one of those high schoolers with a mustang and end up crashing it within a week
@@JosueHernandez-nu5cp yeah man, it sucks when you get a powerful car as your first one , same with me but i dont rly want a powerful car ,all i want is bmw m3 e30 with the s14b23 so i was looking for a 2l or 1.8l
The E39 content on this channel is about as rare and sought after as your M5, and just as enjoyable as well!
Best looking 4 door sedan ever.
You own some pretty cool cars, my man! Love the variety of cars featured on this channel, and love that you include your own cars from time to time
Thanks! Been tough finding time for my own cars because I’m always chasing down other cars for the videos 😆
The E39 M5 is so special. Really great to see another video on it.
My uncle had an E39 M5 that he seems to have really loved. He said it was "mind blowing at the time how fast it was" and sounded great, too. He said it was fun to drive all the time, not just in perfect conditions. Of course he ended up selling it and replacing it with a 997 Carrera, which is a damn good car that he still owns, but he says he still misses it.
Now, my wife has a 2021 330i with the M Sport package, and out of all the modern BMWs I have been in, it's one of the best. It's a lot of fun to throw around and is surprisingly quick. It even has a decent exhaust sound thanks to a dual-mode exhaust system. Sometimes the steering and brakes seem a bit too touchy and numb, but it's something I've gotten used to after a couple months with the car. I'd imagine it's nothing like the BMWs of the E39 era, but it's very 2020's-good, if that makes sense.
The E39 M5 is my one of my favorite cars! I can't rly own one anymore, but I remember when I still could and drove a '00 M5 almost every day...
I feel the same exact way about my mazdaspeed6. There is nothing quite like it and i am blessed to have it. I daily it right now and anything it needs it gets.
This is the best / last true 5 series with outstanding quality put from factory. I was working for the brand when they switched to the e60 and then the f10. The e39 always had that quality over the rest. My 530d has 155.000mi (250.000kms ish), when there is no traffic, at 55mph on the cruise, I get 45mpg. Yes it's a diesel but the best daily I ever had.
I've always loved the carbon schwartz (black) in the sunlight, that deep blue, man it's so beautiful. E39 m5 is a keeper for sure! Not a rocketship, but only bmw knew how to make dual personalities cars 20 years ago 👌
"'I preserved it for the next guy' but there is no next guy." More enthusiasts need to understand that.
The E39 M5 is the BMW'S last of the Ultimate Driving Machine what you have there is a real gem 💎
I remember driving those roads about 5 years ago while I still lived in mass, so nostalgic. Keep up the great content!
She’s back!! Happy to see the paint in such great shape!!
You bought one 8 years ago…congrats my dude. You got in at the right time! Black on black with extended leather is more my style anyway.
Its blue tho
Looks absolutely gorgeous after 20 years. There is something special about the five series/M5s that I can't explain, but I know I want one someday.
So glad to see it back and looking better than ever!
I had a 2002 M5 as a daily between 2013 and 2016. It was a wonderful car, LeMans Blue over Caramel extended leather. I sold it for two reasons, I was tired of the expensive repairs trying to keep it perfect as a 15k mile per year daily, and I wanted something more nimble. I replaced it with a 2013 Mini S with every hot part on it available from the Mini catalog. The new turbo 4 though just wasn't as fun as the NA engines so I settled on an e36 M3 and can't be happier. The least expensive of the set to maintain, nimble, sounds amazing, and quick.
The M5 was a dream to own, I'm glad I had the opportunity, it just had the drive a fast car slow problem. It wasn't fun at legal speeds. It was the car that proved to me that driving a slow car fast is way more fun.
I miss my '02 M5, Titanium Silver on Black full leather. I think still my favorite car ever.
Sick vid dude 🔥
Sick videooo!! I’ve been waiting to see it! I’m glad that e39 is in good freakin hands. Sweet freakin car!!
So classy, love the E-39 M5!
When you started talking about the end of the ICE I got a feeling of dread and sadness. I really hope to get my dream car before they kill it.
What a wonderful car!!!
Driving a BMW m5 e39 is a sensational experience.
When I clicked on the video I was curious, now I'm envious! 😍😍😍💪🏻
an old colleague of mine used to own an m5 like this he straight piped, stick shift too. man it was awesome going out to lunch with em
Man, this car is TIMELESS!
“Leaks never get better”…don’t ask me how I learned that one😳 This makes me miss my E53 X5😢
I agree with you about BMW recently, there are better driving experiences for sure if you are in the market for a great drivers car
Finally! She's back!
Looks good dude!
The E39 M5 is one of my favorite cars of all time. I'm hoping to buy one within the next year
Update: I did it
This car is so lovely. Last month I got the opportunity to try one and WOW
This interior is so immaculate but it has a nice start so not bad work on your part man.
This BMW reminds me the legendary Alex Roy's e39 M5. Beautiful V8 sound, top build quality and materials back in the day when manufacturers where not cost saving drastically.
This car is why I subscribed way back in the day. I don’t know of any one who has swapped a steering rack in; that would require an entirely new oil pan design and subframe. It would be awesome, though.
Carbon black is a really cool and underrated color. I had it on my E46 M3 last year and while I would’ve rather had LSB or Alpine white, it was definitely a different color and better than just black
Those cars will be priceless one day ! Mark my words !!! M5 E39 and E46 M3 ! Best BMW ever made !
I miss my 03 everyday… had no idea how good that car was until I sold it on for a “bespoke sports car” that lacked all the punch and personally of these things.
“New” can be very tempting
Like you said, it’s still a great car that is getting ‘better’ with age 👌!
Thank you for sharing about your M5. I feel the same about my M5, when I drive it I don’t want to sell it 😍
Beautiful! What a car! Looks great 👍
Thanks! I’m so happy with the paint
Consider yourself very lucky, not everyone has the possibility to own such a lovely car, sadly people won't be able to drive cars like this in the future, enjoy it as much as you can, while you can.
more e39 videos, we all love them
Looking good after the detail! Such a beautiful shape. To be fair your car isn't the most meticulously maintained one out there. If proper maintenance is done on it, it can be a reliable car.
Got me some extreme contact continentals as well. Getting them put on next weekend. Beautiful car by the way! I like your videos
One of BMWs best sedans ever made. Damn I love these.
I have an E34 525i that didn't pass inspection last year. Right off the bat I knew fixing the rust wouldn't be worth it and decided to sell it. A month goes by and I still haven't put it up for sale, so I decided; hey, I'm gonna fix this thing. Fast forward 7 months it passed inspection and I'm happier than ever that I didn't sell it. Just like you said, every time I think I'm getting bored of it I go out for a drive and remember why I decided to keep it. Maybe one day I can afford an M5 too. :-)
greetings from CT!
some tips from an 02 Sterling Grey M5 owner... if you sink some dough in it - i PROMISE you'll never even think of selling it again:
short shifter
kW v2's
stoptech's all around
EVOLVE tune
EVOLVE medusa headers (pricey, i know.. but you'll never understand the amount of torque and how much of a monster you'll unleash by getting these)
sachs performance clutch and light flywheel makes rev matching and acceleration impossibly precise and fun once you take off the traction control...
you do these things and the car will be the best driver you'll ever own.
So surreal to see you drive by my street!
really nice car! one of my dream cars love your channel
I had a e39 540i after a 528i so I went from a recirculating ball steering to rack and pinion. Never felt it was worse, not a big deal for me.
If the box isn't in bad shape, it's OK. It's still weighted properly, but the ratio is a little slow in the 540i. I just love the rack they used in the 6 cylinder E39s. Very tacticle and precise. Peak 5 series steering imo
Still beautiful to this day! Classic! 🙏🏻
I'll never sell mine. Short comings you said are completely on point. The steering system is completely crap, but literally the easiest car (anyone, and i mean anyone can be taught) to power slide. The brakes are the same as the 540 if I remember correctly, and it needs, needs, needssssss an upgrade. Pedal feel is spongy (SS lines on mine increased it a bit), but I hear there's a mod using a 760 brake master also changes the feels with very little fab work needed. This was my dream car when I was 12 years old, I saw it at the Javitz auto show in NYC, and the BMW films, and it was a poster car. I bought it after I sold my first business and it will never leave my ownership!!!!
love the m5. my 540i 6 speed is such a great daily, looking forward to when I can afford an m5
Just got rid of my 540i/6, m5 hunting!!!
I love the design language from back then. This car is so god damn pretty... I want it
I love the E39 so much.
I am with you and your oppionion. I feeling the same about my e39 M5. Hold your‘s too, don‘t sell it.
Man this really makes me miss my M5. Especially that carbon black.
good to see you crack this badboy back out! 😤
Yes! The reason I subscribed waaaay back then. Everything you say is true, especially the part about “I think about selling every day”. Lol. So true, but so difficult to do.
Damn those late 90s and early 2000s BMW really looks good
ohh myy gooood this is freaking beautiful
I had same car and was awesome and then took it to Sav speed in South Africa and then it was a beast great video
Still liking this M5
I drove one. Love it. I own a 530i now, slow but fun.
Great to see the M5!
Awesome car tedward!
Thanks Martin!
Peak BMW here indeed!
I put extremecontactsports on my Miata about a month ago, great tire and very reassuring in the wet in a car without ABS. It's too bad there aren't more comparable tires in 15-16 inch sizes. Your basically stuck with 200 TW or the ECS.
yes yes its back!!!
The E39 M5 is one of the quintessential powersaloons. That V8 and the RWD sales-representative type platform. Also LOL your wheels are in super condition compared to the ones on my ford :D I blame the first owner (I'm the third)
“This car didn’t really represent me that well”
“Not the most ideal spec”
“I don’t know how to fix that” ……..smh my head
No kidding, I had to stop watching.
shake my head my head.....
@@YocoWheelin the head on his head
Dummy
I owned a 2001 540i with the 6-speed manual. Got it up to 160k miles, then the timing chain guides cracked and the engine was toast. Part of me really wishes I’d spent the $4,000 to fix it, but part of me is also happy I don’t have to deal with the constant coolant system issues, oil leaks everywhere, power steering fluid leaks, and the vague recirculating ball steering. There are days I really miss that car, though. Currently own an MX-5 ND RF Club, which is fun, but the 540i felt like I was wearing an Armani suit.
I got one tho it's my dream car since i was 7 or 8, 2 years ago i bought one when i was 21 years old👍👍👍
Legendary car
Bmw by far my fav germanc car..still got my 1990 5 series...the new ones cant compare to the older ones
Period correct interior still looks timeless
I can't believe that the interior have that quality ! In my 525d M (2001) i dont find any warren thing.
@@-nuexx1 damn💯💯
Best car of all time
The e39 in general has taken off in popularity. Even the 2003 e39 540 M-tech ii is becoming very hard to find. What a classic car and what an amazing car. I agree with you. The AC in those cars were freakin bonkers. I had a 2000 e39 that i converted to a dinan 5. Had that car for over 15 years. The AC was working as it did in day one. The only thing that broke for me in the car was the cup holders (if you had/have an e39 you know what I am talking about) and the rest button.
Surprised you didn't swap the shifter for a short shifter by know. I know so many that it was the first thing they mod on the car
One of my all time favorite cars
Wow, man, good buy!
I just really want an E39 with a manual as a daily driver... Even a 523i would have enough power for me and the straight-6 sounds great.
I think the Alfa 4c is also a testament that you don’t need insane power to have fun and be fast
got one my self had it for 17 years diff starting to leak but they are appreciating like hell so will get it done 21 years of age done 77k uk
Great video! I suggest an Avin Avant4 android head unit. Looks completely stock. My E38 SS has one.
The end of your video made me think of Red Barchetta by Rush! The song is all about a future when gas powered cars are illegal
My God what a beautiful car!! I own a 520i touring automatic. Not very vast in any way, but I LOVE the style, driving experience, the rear air suspension, the 6 inline and I could go on with the list endlessly! But there's a but. RUST... yep. I'm dealing with a lot of rust. Car is 21 years old and mechanically it is 100%. It has only 290K kilometres. But body wise with the rust it is a nightmare. So I hope I can keep up with the rust so I can enjoy my e39 touring for another decade.
Legendary M5 👍
I love the cop check at 9:59 weve all been there
Hey Tedward! Great review! I have an E39 540i and I always find it amazing how remarkably similar these two cars are. I still don't understood why the 540i is valued at 1/5 or even 1/6 of the price of the M5. Other than being down on power and no LSD, they are nearly the same.
It's a very nice car indeed.
You could update the radio/mid console with a new android one and replace the brown interior ,because it looks outdated.
but it's a very nice looking car. Engine sounds like a beast!
I have a e46 2002 with the same paint,but not an M5 ,but i love it.
