    I used to trade in my cars every couple of years, until I got the E60 (used). I've owned this 550i for 10 years with the only issue being the steering angle sensor. It's gone out twice in those ten years, but that's a 45 minute, $5 repair.
    Throughout the years, I've gone twice to trade in the E60 for a newer car. Both times I got out of the car I was test driving, gave the key back to the salesman and literally ran back to my E60 and drove home.
    My pre-LCI weights only 3800 lbs with a V8, so it will pick up speed like a hungry cheetah. Because of the active suspension, it corners very flat, yet the suspension is not punishing at all on rough surfaces. Just the other day, a new neighbor told me that her husband was envious of my "brand new" BMW. I just laughed and say "this old thing?"

    I've had my 530d M Sport from new (2006). It is still like new after 15 years, no problems at all, covered 80k miles. Still looks new. Had the blanking plates done by PMW in Chelmsford. Avoided remap. I over-service it, no expense spared. Often think I should buy a new car, but my car drives perfectly, no rattles, fast and 40 mpg. No rust, the paintwork is perfect. Was told that this era of BMW was the last to have multi-layered thick paint etc. All the original light bulbs still work, never had to replace a single bulb. Only one new set of brake discs and pads from new. Will probably keep it until electric cars become more reliable and have more range, my car isn't worth anything, but at the same time I would never find one so well looked after again. So many people, even today, tell me how beautiful it looks. Only gripe is the run flats and hard ride. Brilliant cars, so happy to own one.

I now have one myself and I driving it is like therapy and spa treatment. My dad helps me with the maintenance and I have found a fantastic mechanic with 40 yrs experience and has worked on more e60s than Sytner and charges half of what they do!

  • @jackson._.goulding
    @jackson._.goulding 2 года назад +3

    Bangle actually wasn’t the main designer of this car. Thanks to an internal sketching contest, an Italian guy named Davide Arcangeli was responsible for the majority of the e60 and Bangle more or less signed off on it. Unfortunately Arcangeli never lived to see the e60 make it to production because he died of Lukemia a few years before the car would be released. I find it sad that this guy died designing one of the best cars in the world and gets so little credit for it.

    Doc you're right but also slightly wrong about these cars, my 530D left me stranded a few months back and it kept on juddering no codes in ista or any other software i had to take it to an Indy in the end first time in my life he could not figure it out either but in the end he did it turned out to be the throttle body for some reason Ista would not pick it up and store it in the system so i suppose it all depends on the issue at hand. I'm sure 95% of issues can be dealt with via maintenance and diagnostic software aslong as the diagnostics picks up the problem.

    I have one from 2008 530i 6 in-line cylinders, 24 valve.
    I bought it back then, paint is original untouched (except stone chips at front) and still shows the factory finish platinum gold.
    200k miles on the clock and drives superb still after 15 years. No major issues except wear and tear. Original e60 engine and 6 speed triptronic gearbox untouched except for servicing. Very fast with top end 155mph 😜.
    I would buy a new one again if I could. Had a recall few years ago from main BMW which gave me updated injectors and coil packs all courtesy of main BMW dealer. BMW reckon the engine will run 250K mikes before rebore.
    Problem is nowadays is finding a quality mechanic to take care of it as dealers are a rip off.

    Totally agree. You are spot on. Also anyone that says BMW E series are unreliable is not correct and doesn't deserve to own one either. For me I had to fix cars myself and without my software knowledge for me.would be impossible. I cannot trust a stealership with my car . Years ago I proved I knew more than the head of diagnosis in BMW and they offered me a job which I declined. These cars deserve to be maintained, they will reward you for that.

    Just bought a 07 525i got it at a auction for $900 missing key and unknown milage so it was a no start no crank, last oil sticker had 191k, car was so complete n not super torn up.
    If engine is bad or anything Im gonna use it to teach my son how to fix and work on cars, hes 5 so he has 10 plus years of learning by the time its his.
    Already figure out of of the issues thank to your videos, i found a spare key in glove box and just order a bmw specific scanner to reset the steering lock counter, will work throughout the rest of the issues as the years come along. If we get bored might turbo it or swap it 😂

    What a surprise. In Spain many people told me that M54 was the most reliable engine, due to issues with thinner timing chains and direct injection in later petrol versions... Maybe they were wrong.
    People here prefers M54 despite it's heavier and has worse mpg.
    Thanks a lot for the video

    I’m dreading having to take my intake manifold out to take a look at the vacuum lines. I’ve been doing all the maintenance and repairs on my 05 e60. 251k mi and still running strong. But damn I’m really dreading having to take my intake manifold off especially since I don’t have everything I should replace down there.

    I recently brought a very tidy 09 e60 525i as my daily driver and I love this car, is extremely comfortable, reliable and very fun to drive and although the looks are controversial I love the look of it. I also own an e30 as my weekend car and I definitely think an e60 is an extremely good choice if you only want one car for all of the other reasons mentioned.

      I always liked BMW growing up but never thought I'd get one until I got a 2010 550i m sport in 2018. Unfortunately I got carbon monoxide poisoning while driving from Massachusetts to Arizona and while in Texas I drove about 3 hours while knocked out cold and ended up barely missing an overpass and ended up smashing through a center median light pole. It was estimated that I was doing around 80mph at impact! Completely blew out both headlights, destroyed both front tires and wheels, destroyed the front end, the hood roundel was pushed back a good foot and a half, all front airbags deployed. I walked away without a scratch! No broken nose from the airbag and no bruising from the seatbelt!
      I was so in love with that car that I searched online for a solid 2 months until I found a near identical car. Same year, model, and color, almost all the same options, and slightly better mileage. Scooped it up and had it shipped from Georgia to Arizona!
      Then about 5 months later I picked up a 2013 F30 328i m sport FBO with a stage 2 Bootmod3 tune. Glacier silver so I put a ton of carbon fiber in it cuz it blends perfectly with the paint.
      Pretty sure I won't ever go away from BMW now that I've had a few. So much fun to drive! So good lookin! And there aren't many people who don't enjoy seeing a beautiful BMW roll up!

    2:20 Boyke Boyer and Davide Arcangeli actually designed the E60. Chris Bangle and BMW just approved it (and took the blame for people saying it was ugly) Davide Arcangeli sadly died shortly after his final design was approved, but never saw the final design, on the roads. But i agree with you, i really love the E60 design, it looks great.

    If you don’t know and you’re thinking of buying an e60 you absolutely should. You might not know this but it’s a VERY reliable car. After so many years working with that v8 bmw really got it down in these cars. Very predictable and any issue you encounter with these is very simple and expected. Another thing if you’re looking to buy. It doesn’t look like it but a v8 550i will put your head in the seat similar to the way an srt8 will pull. Very very powerful feeling card. Buy to try it for a while. Cars are extremely good. Mine has 150k and I’ve yet to experience an issue other than a few small oil leaks which was an easy fix :)
