Hoovie is no longer addicted to cars, hes addicted to losing money
Sam Anslow He might just go homeless @ this rate😞
Yeah, but these highs he gets when there's a new car in the garage, there's no better feeling.
Don't forget that content makes him money. I.E. Autovlog has make 35k + on just one video of a 500 dollar. I want to believe there is method to his car buying madness.
Fkn tard you don't even understand
@@Trevonious95 oof
It’s so high tech that it cools the brake using oil
Yeah, oil will increase the stopping power, lol!
LOL

This car would make Scottie kilmer's brain explode 🤣💀💀💀
Nobody cares what that old hack has to say about it
starsaberfan39 about 2.2 million people do actually
starsaberfan39 Ummm... wrong. Over 2M people subscribe to ‘the old hack’. Because he knows what he’s talking about, and tells it like it is. This rich child-douche, not so much. And now that I realize he’s linked to Doug. Now I get it. Douche bros!
I'd pay $6500 to see that :)
@@starsaber2002 definitely that guy is the anti car enthusiast but i will say he is right about car companies making cars too difficult to fix
I can sum up your entire channel .. Making thousands of dollars complaining about losing thousands of dollars
LeadBlastin22 Great point!
or... Throwing $ at it and learning next to nothing.
Somebody's gotta do it
It's not really about that for me. Buying a used V12 Merc for five grand and spending another ten or twenty in repairs still means he's getting an S Class less than 10% of what it originally cost. It let's you know what you're in for if you actually want to buy one of these once amazing cars.
If you're a total petrolhead and not a dealer it makes sense.
It's sad that nobody is able to censor these channels based on click-bait, on the back of car makers, mobile phone companies..
I have a 33k mile SMG trans for sale from a running/driving 2008 M5 that will be getting pulled out in a month if you need it. I bought the car to steal the engine and swap it into my E46, so everything else is getting parted out/sold.
Somehow I feel your transmission is going to cost more than what Hoovie paid for this car. :D (doesn’t hurt trying to sell it, especially to Hoovie, though.
@@rkan2 nah, the going rate for a decent mileage DCT is like 3k and i only paid 7k for my donor car for this swap, so my plan was to firesale the diff/rear end, EDC suspension, remaining good panels/hood, the SMG, brakes, etc. That should pay for the 7k that I fronted for the donor car and make it a break even. Probably gonna try to get like 2k for the SMG which is a stellar price i think for a functioning complete trans with 33k miles.
You are aware of the process you're putting yourself into right? It's been done before, but there is a TON of editing required to make it happen
@@NoShaDow36 Pretty sure he is if he already has a donor car.
@@NoShaDow36 for sure. I'm working with a shop with a fabricator, good wiring guy, etc., I've talked to Epic Motorsports at length as they have done a couple S85 swaps into E46 M3 before. Stock headers fit, minor modification to the subframe and with a 2008 M5 the CAS isn't in the steering column so you can do the swap while retaining the stock E46 rack which makes it immensely easier. Custom power steering lines, custom oil cooler, custom radiator, making a dipstick - yea there are some things there to deal with but we are planning it all out. I'm bolting up an E90 6mt and already have a driveshaft which my fabricator can cut and use to hook it up to the E46 diff. You do this swap by bringing along the E60 ECU for the ride so it isn't some standalone setup which makes it a hell of a lot easier to wire things. Epic Motorsports provides the flash for it already you just ship them the ECU and as long as the wiring guy does his job of making it work with the CEL in the dash, etc. it will work.
I haven't haphazardly jumped into it and at 7k for the car which runs and drives, if we lay everything out in a month and decide it will actually be too much, well I can sell a used 33k mile S85 for 10k all day just by itself so I'm not losing anything. This is also my 4th car so time isn't really a factor. I've got a supercharged E92 m3 to tool around with in the meantime.
Hoovieboi doesn't learn from his previous BMWs, and I love it
Car pal?????
But this one will be a touch more expensive to fix. Nice colour though.
Yea, youd think that he would learn after $15000+ dollars down the drain later. But i guess thats why we keep coming back isnt it?
made a comment few days ago on the McLaren video how he should stop buying unreliable cars like BMW 7, boom this week he gets old m5 ...
just BMWs, more like every/any car he buys lol
He traded it for a Honda because he wants a car that works, lol.
Fax.
Or he just couldn’t afford a BMW
@@besnikkameri6780 agreeed
I hear them CVTS clap just as bad in Hondas lmao
THe one who sold you his BMW probably laughed so hard
FR HE GOT RIPPED OFF
Working ones with the same mileage can still go for 11,000 and up. Seeing as he got this for 6,500 really isnt too bad.
you can sell this a part and you will get much more money
Lol the engine alone is worth $6k
@Midousuji Akira check eBay have fun. It's a racing derived v10 not just some engine.... apply your logic to a 13 year old or collector's car doesn't work lmao
I would bet the owner got a quote, pooped himself then went straight to the car dealer to trade it in.
yeah I did
Been there, done that. And I thought I was clever.
Straight to a Honda dealership is what he said. He had enough.
Yes... I think a fair bit of "pooping" has been caused by this car... and you can now add Hoovie to that list of poopers... LoL...
@@dukenudibranch6414 Without a doubt.
OMG when I turned the video on and saw Doug I thought I clicked the wrong vid xD
Trading in a v10 BMW for a Honda. The end really is near.
For some funny reason I’m picturing a 15 year old Pakistani or Indian kid who watches to many car videos and plays a lot of forza on his school laptop who really wants to buy a car
Amero if you think that’s funny, your life must really suck
ash prada its not funny but it is accurate

Truth Hurts?
My guess is he is from Kerala India judging by his profile pic
The service that Hoovie provides the general public, y’know where we get to live vicariously through his videos, is incredibly valuable. Please like and share the videos and tap on the ads because he’s doing all of is with oil-in-the-veins a tremendous solid. Just last week I was exploring M5 ownership. I’m all cured now.

The last time Hoovie ignored Doug's warning was when he got his Ferrari F355 and we all know how that turned out...
At least this one wont be in flames
@@jdmr1c3ing it's Hoovie so it's still possible.
@@pmvaldez1 it'll only catch fire if he lets porker drive it.
I think Hoovie is a secret millionaire, it would explain how he can take so many losses on high end cars.
@@MatrixDiscovery true
I would fix the oil cooler. Change the front tyres, then a fresh battery, check the grounds and then clear all the codes. Then take it for a decent drive and then re-check the codes. More than half will most likely be gone as many are just triggered by other issues. It helps narrow things down.
You, Doug, and Ed B are my guardian angels. Every time that I get a head full of steam to go out and buy a used high-end car, you post a video like this. The numbers you quote for repairs quickly bring my thinking back to reality. Thanks!!!
'Tyler, don't buy an F355. It'll catch fire'
'I just bought an F355'
*F355 catches fire*
'Tyler, don't buy a E60 M5'
'I just bought the cheapest E60 M5 in the USA'
'they cost a fortune to fix and sort out'
'so it's gonna be $7500 and that's if we don't need a transmission'
😂
Next video my E60 just spontaneously combusted
How about his recent gem, the McLaren which already got fixed 120k worth of things and god knows how many more will blow up in his first year of ownership.
You can tell he’s worried with these double ads all the way through
Tyler: These BMWs are so bad and unreliable
Also Tyler: *Buys a car that none of the owners took care of for a shit price and then complains about them being bad"
have 4 years BMW like this,and not problem.
BMW cars are crap cars these days. Garbage electronics and transmission. I don't care how well you "maintain" it. Just junk.
It’s like he tries to buy the worst example of his cars
Jeremy Tucker which brand isn’t these days?
Everybody sayin BMW are bad cars but y’all can’t even afford one 🤡
Classic modern mechanic... Plugs in a diagnostic computer. Doesn't really know what any of it means and then owner googles the solutions. I see this in every single UK garage nowadays.
the problem in uk is that the garages are very small, not longer that 4,7meters, garages don't have such things like canal and you can't fit car lift in there so there is no way to work on your car yourself. I've had to work in the open air to fix some stuff, sometimes in rain.
I'm pretty sure anyone can have their own size garage lol
Piter Parker what planet are you on mate?😂
wizard knows his shit but hoovie doesnt lol
@@wrestle259 as someone from the uk.... i can confirm - yup...yup....just is.
Dislikes are from OSHA compliance watching him climb up the lift post LOL
Lol you are so right
As soon as I start feeling bad for wizard with your
McLaren purchase you go and acquire this gem...
Wizards children will now have ivy league education...
And no dad as he's always at the repair shop being enslaved to hoovie.
Wizards house and collection of cars are probably bigger than Hoovies by now.
I dont think the car wizard is working on the McLaren since it's under warranty it probably has to b serviced by the dealership
Haha in Canada my high school has free ivy league education as long as you get half decent marks
His labor rate sounds low for hoovie. An example of why I think that... $400 for a 5 labor hour job to do the thermostat. The part looks to be $40 to $55 online not including shop tax.
“Just because it’s all red and sparkly, I think we should do it” 😂
"We have to pull the transmission to change that.." "Of course you do." XD

So 2 miles in its current condition?
It may already be too late!
I used to own a E39 M5, and owning a E60 M5 is surprisingly something I would like to own one day even with all the issues, but the V10 sounds so good. I think when i’m ready to own one i’ll try to find one for cheap and have the whole engine rebuilt, including Vanos and common rod bearing issues.

hoovie out here with the osha violations, climbing a raised car lift with a car on it lmao.
Lol the first seconds FACTS… from my experience I’ve owned an e60 M5 and I always took good care of it by servicing and changing the oil at 3k miles. The s85 engine loves 10w60 oil!!!
Buying cars no one has the balls to buy. Hoovie is truly a hero
Balls??? U mean the extra ca$h to buy...There is a difference. If I had it, I would get the same, as ell as the sweet 928 that was in the mechanic shop next to the M5, I would also get the 850i,SL55, ALL the old luxury cars of the 80's 90's... I like this guy

It will be the clutch release bearing, there is an updated part. You will also need a new guide bushing, and an SMG adaptation. But fixable, especially with the Wizard behind you
It would probably best to check out the clutch and Flywheel whilst he's changing the thrust bearing. I brought a BMW with a worn thrust bearing and the dual mass flywheel was knackered aswell
That was honestly the best intro ever for a Hoovie vid

they did this when the car was new: www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2007-audi-s6-vs-bmw-m5-m-b-e63-amg-comparison-test
the real irony is the bmw came in last back then, before they even knew how much more unreliable it was than the cars that beat it.
yjhuoh The Audi beat the M5 overall in test, but was so slow that they didn’t even both publishing its straight line 0-60 and quarter mile figures... the Audi’s motor is down on power, suffers higher drivetrain losses, and shifts through a slower box.
A well-sorted E60 M5 SMG will walk a V10 S6 by quite some margin in a straight line race.
www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/road-tests/reviews/a13037/2007-audi-s6-1/
Here we go... R&T clocked a V10 S6 at a 5.1 0-60 and 13.5 @ 106.5 quarter mile - that’s waaaaay off the pace of an E60 M5
@@Gr0t0tter And so it should since the M5's true opponent from Audi is the C6 RS6. You may be right that the SMG is a bit faster but in the end of the day, I would still put my money on the ZF6 in the Audi since these transmissions usually last longer than the cars themselves.
8:10 - The computer is basically saying "Dont ever ever - ever ever ever - Everrrrr ever .... buy a BMW"
Scotty Kilmer be like: *”ENDLESS MONEY PIT!!!!!”*
Good move honestly the e60 m5 has a pure Motorsport engine none of the turbo crap out today once it's fixed you will have a v10 land missile that's cost as much as a brand new Kia Forte and you will love it trust me, As for the SMG transmission it was designed around track use and can be jerky around town or city driving but with a little bit of practice you can get it to behave rather nicely once functioning properly.
Current BMW M engineer , and thanks for the awesome content
Agreed. Also, the smg is fine if you modulate the throttle when shifting. Like a motorbike without using the clutch.
lmao we do its just the people who buy them don't ever maintain them properly i have 180k on my 03 ///M3 and its fine as long as i continue to maintain it.
@@dtacrew561 , I totally agree. I once had a 1985 bmw 325, when I purchased in the mid 90's it was well over 243k mi, I added 60k mi before Hurricane Andrew wipe her out :-( She ( my car/ my baby) died with 303k plus mi DUE to natural disaster.
Oil literally pissing out, Revs engine. 😂
It's called bleeding the system dude.
🙈🙈
Well, hopefully they added the oil to the engine before revving it :-D
Just sold my 2007 M5 two weeks ago, I kinda missed it already. I put about $3000 in parts on it, I did most of the work myself including two OEM throttle actuators. Drove it for 25,000 Miles (3years), I sold it for $500 more than what I paid. It didn’t have a clean title, but the miles are actual, it was never been in an accident, do you think I should have kept it? I loved the car.
Does the e60 550i with a V8 have the same issues with rod bearings an all like the the M5 an the E90 M3 ?
An additional 7 to 11 grand and you’ll have yourself a kickass car for at least a week or two until something else breaks again. Sounds like a deal.
So true...
Best Engine Sound but shittiest reliability
But what a nice color, hey I own a five series,
with less than 8 miles a day for work
& having it's ass kissed at the dealer ship
my ASS hurts and i"m not in to that stuff
IF they want to build these things , quit out
sourcing them to the lowest bidder and build

I ain’t hating. We traded my wife’s 528i for a Hyundai Sonata hybrid. That bimmer threw codes like my kids throw fits. Nicest piece of garbage we’ve ever owned. Wife has racked up 60k miles in 2 years on the Hyundai. Gas and oil changes every once in a while if we remember. No problems
