And now I own a broken E60 M5…..

[BilbeJ 25]

Hi all, 

Bit of a shameless self promo here-I’m responsible for the “Buying a neglected M5” videos on the tube recently. I’ve just uploaded episode two where I get stuck into the rod bearing job, check it out here.

I’m not a mechanic, I’ve just always fixed my own crappy cars over the years and when values for Japanese cars went a bit crazy I dipped my toes into the BMW world and now here we are. Started with a great e28 535i (malachite metallic) then an e34 535 5 speed followed by a fairly broken e39 540i 6 speed with AC kit. Anyway, I always wanted an e60 and couldn’t resist the challenge of reviving this one. Open to any comments, questions or criticisms! 
 

Cheers

Jordan

Welcome. Looks like your well prepared to handle it.

Have watched both episodes - love the nonchalant, no BS approach. Keep them coming.

Nice one.  I posted your first vid here a while back.

Just spotted the Soarer in your vid.  Awesome cars.  I miss my MZ10 a lot.  I looked them up in Japan recently, cried a little, then purchased another 130i instead.

I see on your profile you're from Rotorua. Look forward to seeing this around once it is on the road.
