han16 94 Report post Posted June 14, 2021 G'dday, new member here who's taken the E60 M5 plunge just recently. The car is a 2008 BMW M5 and my focus will be bringing the car back to a factory look removing all of the BLACKKK stuff the previous owner/s have done. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep sold both the V70R and the S60R to the same guy, or should I say the father brought the V and his son brought the S. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TermiPeteNZ 1318 Report post Posted June 15, 2021 Congrats on the M5! Have an E60 M5 myself and just had the rod bearings done - absolutely love it. I'm a sad sack and track the M5 market so have seen this one come up for sale a cople of times. Love the individual interior on your vehicle - piano black trim plus light leather and headlining - very unusual! Nice to hear you're bringing it back to stock.... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome to the Rod Bearer Anonymous group If it's Eisenmann Sport (not Race) I might be interested on it, especially if you can easily put back your originals (I want a revert back again). Sometimes I find the E60 to be too quiet, but other times I like it quiet. Maybe those flip switch exhaust cutout will be more suited for me. I do like those Eisenmann tips shape, we have a factory fitted Eisenmann on our Cayenne... would be cool to have octo Eisenmann exhaust tips on the driveway 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GorGasm 563 Report post Posted July 2, 2021 FYI I changed out my stock mufflers to straight through mufflers and it was too loud in the low RPM range and not loud enough up top. Ended up with a fair bit of drone and a weird cyclic harmonic effect when cruising. That and it didn't seem that loud when giving it stick. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if it's the Sport or Race system however. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a moment of supreme idiocy (and 'I saw it on the internet') I muffler deleted my E60 545i and the drone almost made me physically ill. 🤮 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
