2018 BMW F90 M5 update- maintenance, and first dragstrip run
I wanted to give you guys an update on my m5
I had some maintenance done;
 rear diff fluid
Spark plugs
Cabin air filter
And one bad overtighten bolt replaced
All in all it was $1,028
I am good to go till the eighth maintenance interval.
I only got to do one run at the dragstrip because they require a helmet when you go below 13.99 seconds.
With launch control I can get into the 10’s
Can’t wait to go back and see its full potential .
I will have some footage from the dragstrip next time. There are some amazing  cars there.
Thanks for watching. Don’t forget to subscribe, like and share.

    Thank you for the very detailed review. How do you feel about the Michelin Summer tires in cold weather? I am in NJ and need new tires, I am contemplating getting Michelin All Seasons.

      So I live in Cincinnati so we do get snow and when they replaced all the tires when I bought the vehicle, they did put the summer tires on so I didn’t have an option at the time. It really didn’t do bad stopping is the main thing that is affected. Just give yourself plenty of room. I try to avoid driving in the winter altogether cause I get laid off and go back to work in the spring because I do seasonal work. I’m sure it snows a lot in your area so be careful if you don’t wanna deal with considered getting a used set of winter tires or something like that.

    nice vid!!…if you don’t mind, can you tell me how much your insurance premium iis on your M5? because i just got quoted $2480 every 6 mos from GEICO and my driving record is not bad, its not perfect, but not bad at all

      And depends if you’re married and you’re driving record. Cars like this new we’re very expensive so they’re still expensive to repair even though they are a few years old. Mine went up compared to the performance, even though it’s faster, but because of cost of repair. Recommend shopping around.

    • @BeamingForLife-zw5hz
      @BeamingForLife-zw5hz Před měsícem

      I got mine with 44,000 miles for 57k. Just depends on the area and how many are there on the market. Make sure you get a good vehicle history report and check the coolant tank if it’s been replaced and if it’s eligible for recall

      I don’t mind at all I was eventually going to do a breakdown of everything. So the sticker with all the options was 112k in 2018. It had a couple leases on it, and then it was sold to a Ford dealership.. I guess it sat on it for a while, when I looked at it, they had it for sale for 58K I talked him down another thousand. I did end up buying a warranty for 6K. I was fortunate enough and got a nice chunk for my trade-in. I got 31K for my scat pack that I drove for five years and paid 38,000 for. a mixture of luck and patience to find the exact spec and low mileage. You should be able to find something similar between 56 and 60 just depends on the year and mileage.

    I need to talk to a good suspension shop before buying the M5 because I wanna increase the ground clearance of the vehicle 1.5 inches without too many modifications. It's not gonna be that easy, but I do want something special. Originally I really desired a porsche 991.2 4S (elephant racing has those cool suspensions kit lift with bespoken parts for the 991) but they are 100k used whereas the M5 is around 60k. Not a great value for less performance than the M5. I need to find a way for this suspension thing...anyway congrats for the vehicle, it does look nice.

    Thanks for your review. I think you made the longest on CZcams 😅 I have the exact same year and specs, but mine is with the Tartufo colored seats. Try the Colourlock steering wheel kit to freshen it up as it wears the most. The leather should be matte. Also, I have PPF'ed the whole car with Xpel Stealth. It looks amazing on the Donington grey color!

    Spark plugs every 20k-30k, transfer case service every 30k, injector cleaning every 30k, oil change every 5k, transmission fluid every 50k, coolant expansion tank fix. This is what the m5 needs to get done and it will be reliable. Very high maintenance car ive ever owned

    Very fortunate I stumbled upon your video here. I am in almost the exact same situation as you were. Currently have a 23 Charger HC Jailbreak but am looking to go with a 2021 BMW M5C (43k miles). I have been researching the potential problems and issues to be mindful of so this video was exactly what I was looking for. Please give us an update after you've put some more miles on the car!

      I definitely plan on doing a drive video. I’ll make sure to include all that. Not sure on the mods. the original owner changed the grill and added carbon fiber exhaust tips, PPF and ceramic coating. I definitely recommend the weather tech package for the floor mats because we do get snow where I live and this is a daily driver.

      The car recommends 9000 miles I would honestly go much lower 5000 was kind of extreme probably 6 to 7 would still be early without wasting your money. I just don’t see how those engines can run that clean regardless of the technology.
