I bought the S85 based BMW M5 with the terrible V10 Engine and SMG Transmission with 160,000 miles. The auction listed it with NO Mechanical damage. Upon first startup I heard an interesting noise, which I would definitely consider some sort of mechanical damage so I took it to Eurocharged Orlando to get it diagnosed. Here's what they said...

The V10 M5 is like a beautiful middle-aged supermodel with a crippling cocaine habit
Here we see the V10 M5 in its natural state, with the engine removed
Lmao 😂 good one
Dam now that right there's funny I don't care who you are!
dubstepsickness 😭😭
Yeah, it's Patsy from Absolutely Fabulous!
I've tried to convince myself these cars aren't that bad so many times. I just can't do it. Just too many major factory defects. Most unreliable performance sedan ever? I say yes.
Yeh true. But they are basically F1 related tech put into a production saloon car. They need regular high maintenance, that reflects the initial purchase price when new.
The place that I argue is that the mercedes is so much better. They are both crap, but if you want a really reliable car you buy a camry.
Keep your AMGs lol
You have to pay to play, I have a M5 that is down right now with a SMG issue. I love the car, hate the maintenance issues “ rod bearings “. But no one else made a engine like this. If I would have held out for a manual car, it would take half the issues away. Amazing cars, just wish they didn’t have the issues they do.
With a car like this, buy the best one you can and it will be fine. On CZcams, they are buying dogs and saying they are all the same, it's just not true.
Im surprised that diagnostic tool didn't start laughing at some point
Now that's a good one
Laughing at first and then crying from exhaustion.
😂
WTF???
i recommend rod bearings on these at 80k miles. Ive done several in this range and not a single one i thought "oh those didnt need to be done". If you catch them before they start knocking its not that bad cost wise, once it starts knocking you probably have a damaged crank which will exponentially increase the cost.
That’s like a $1300-$1500 kit just for parts and most people can’t do that job themselves if we’re honest about it, so it’s basically a $2500 job with labor and that’s pretty expensive for a 80k mile maintenance.
This car is meant for people with money, and the people with enough money to drive and maintain these cars would probably just buy something newer and more reliable.
“Warning signs are everywhere”
*records a caterpillar crawling on the hood*
It’s symbolic as this car will never get to be a butterfly 😂
@@y2ksierra nah its because it'll probably get crushed by a Caterpillar
Should come with a lifetime membership to a tow truck service. Make Carly built in and mount a tablet on the dash to keep track of all codes
The logo is a warning sign.
Caterpillar crossing sign needed.
Sam is hell bent on starting a BMW and Range Rover breakers yard....
webnothing for the rich fosure because if it breaks they don’t care they’ll just throw money at kt
Rich is laughing
and still makes a drama witch feeds him very well
@webnothing They are status symbols, and are purely purchased as that. If they break under warranty the owner gets to drive a loaner. They hardly keep this cars pass the warranty anyway, and that's how they stay rich.
@webnothing yes that is exactly what they are made for
Sam: "The Vanos is what can get really expensive on these cars"
Rod Bearings: Am I a joke to you?
Vanos is the cause for the rod bearing failures as it lowers oil pressure to dangerous levels
makes no difference because you are going to have to do them both, lol.
SMG pumps *waves hand*
When I did my rod bearings, my shop replaced the vanos line and only charged me for the part
Honestly the rod bearings only cost 2500 to replace..now the smg on the other hand 😂
Unreliable? Yes!
Expensive parts? Yes!
Beaten on by previous owners? Yes!
Would I sell mine? Hell no!
The sound and experience are worth it to me.
I’ll take my 97 accord any day. It’s slow, but it’s pretty comfy and very reliable.
@@EvilTurkeySlices Great comparison 🤣
Lol...@@sr20vett
Samcrac returns stuff at auction like my wife does at Costco
Or like I do at Harbor Freight.
I think he secretly buys them at Costco through a special Samcrac buyers plan with 5% back when he charges it on a credit card.
"No Mechanical issues" its a bmw, thats physically impossible
A V10 M5 to boot. No way there was going to be zero issues.
Maybe for the V10 M5. My E39 530i has been trouble free since I bought it two years ago. All I’ve had to do was replace the gas cap when it threw a code for an emissions leak
brian hume no one wants a bmwburger everyone in Europe usually have a reliable German car Americans can’t treat cars
Well it depends, BMWs from the 90s and early 2000s are usually very reliable, often more reliable than Mercs and Audis from that era. They were built very solid, no squeaks, no rattles, and a driving experience that wasn't interfered by a thousand computers, but they still have OBD2 and lots of other modern touches. Arguably the best cars to ever come out of germany
@@gitaarmovies2003 Very true but they started to get less and less reliable, especially with the M's after the mid 2000's
So happy to see you going to friendly, experienced techs who know what they are doing. I feel it's saving you so much time and money. Great video.
I have an 07 m5 smg 147k miles fbo 510rwhp. Daily driver for 10 years. Runs strong af. Knock on wood. Bought with 50k miles at carmax with a great warranty to 125k miles. Replaced rod bearings and various other things. Still love the car. It’s pretty quick. Especially from a roll. Top end is strong 💪🏼. Very comfortable etc. Link to dyno video is under my name. Hear it scream to 8500rpm catless evolve long tube headers and RPI gts exhaust etc
It's a miracle if that M5 could reach 160k miles in the first place. The previous owner was playing russian roulette.
eventually he dumped it and is still running.
I'm new to BMW, just bought my first ever bmw two weeks ago. Why are people saying it's crazy for them to go 160k miles? Are they referring to just the M5 or bmw in general?
The one I bought (an E90 320D from 2005) has gone 220k miles and it just got its yearly check with no mechanical issues. My reverse lights aren't working but other than that it runs just fine.
Am I in for a bad time?
@@F30_Hellion I guess everybody has a relative definition of «no mechanical issues». I once stepped inside a car similar to yours, 2008 325i, and the driver thought his car was in perfect conditions; I noticed the engine was making a terrible valve/camshaft noise, the rear suspensions were done, the transmission was jerky and there was a very noticeable rolling vibration.
Not all BMW are bad, but they are all very reliable money pits.
@@F30_Hellion tik tok tik tok that's not the engine ticking, it's the final countdown. Good luck keep your wallet healthy. By the way did you anylise the car with a decent anylizer, to check and see how many fault codes are hiding in your computer? (Stored).
@@jamesjames3525 No I did not I don't have access to that kind of stuff. The only thing I had to go after was the receipts from the shop that changed/fixed stuff. 3 years ago they changed parts for about $3000. New turbo, waterpump, transmission and lots of other stuff I can't translate.
And earlier this year they bought brand new breakdiscs and pads along with the standard service and yearly check up (the paper was clean).
Obviously the car will not last me a lifetime but I bought it for $2700 and its been driven by an old lady for like 7 years and been serviced at BMW at the correct intervals.
If I can drive it for two years without any major issues I honestly think I got my moneys worth. I'm not very well off and a car like this has been my dream for years and I'm so happy with it. If shit comes up I'll deal with it because that's what you get with cars of this age and for this price. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
The steering angle error comes up after disconnecting battery, just go full lock either way and will clear 😉👍
That’s one out 15 issues fixed 😅

Steven at Eurocharged has a contagious smile and is the kind of tech who makes people comfortable (even over a video). I bet he has many loyal customers.
That’s hilarious...my e39 M5 had two hanging in the mirror, I smelled that shit for weeks!
this video right here is one of the reasons why I love your channel no matter what happens not listed correctly totally lies and you still see the positive I love it
This video and many others are why I’ll never own a BMW.
Sam, may I suggest not disconnecting the trailer when you load or unload a car... The reason is it's more stable with the trailer connected to the hitch... Also, keep the pedestal/jack at the tongue lowered and touching the ground, this will keep it from bouncing as much. It's safer to do it this way. Have your tow vehicle e-brake set.
No mechanical issues, should read All mechanical issues
That was the quickest buyers remorse ever lmao. I remember when I bought my 08 M5 interlagos blue, it didn't take me long to realize that I was in real deep. Took me 1 1/2 year to get rid of it. Definitely a learning experience after dropping 10k.
5:56 That faint sound of failing rod bearings
Yes, anything wrong with vanos system can and will cause misfire, these engines have double vanos that means that it varies the time of injection and exhaust, if anything is wrong it will cause limb mode, oil pressure - it can be a sensor knowing e60 electronics or vanos system in general can be clogged due to irregular oil changes, in this case you are looking at vanos and timing job or it can be a vanos pump, look also for error codes regarding vanos solenoids but my strong guess would be vanos pump what is not so cheap USED... because in general someone would do a vanos and timing job that's pretty cheap. These pumps are often failure too... in this case you are looking at pump and timing job if your 4 vanos gears are fine, in my country its 100$ a piece and 800$ for a pump
plus rod bearing job it will be a engine out job, it will take a lot of money to do it plus timing job and vanos fix, its not worth it, bmw are complex anything that you have to do costs more because 1. there's more stuff to fix 2.theres more things to take apart
Yes
So double endless money pit
The rod bearings being bad causing low oil pressure could be the culprit.
@@TwentytenS4B8 how ? there's oil pump for vanos and also how bearings are supposed to lower the pressure to that point that it throws a code ?
The fact that this thing has 160,000 miles in the first place is miracle
Bought my E60 M5 a year and a half ago, love the car but might need to find a 2nd job! Just replaced the SMG transmission, also replaced cam sensors a few months ago. Have a custom exhaust so it sounds amazing and currently runs amazing for now!
if only these had been reliable :'(
such a glorious sound from that V10
Bought Carly after the first time you used it, best investment since i own mostly German.

The original film was discovered in 2011. It has been cleaned up and put out on Blue Ray. It still sucks.
That engine sounds fine for a diesel.

@@Disrespected36 I HAVE REBUILT THREE 90sJapenese cars. two Toyota s one Mitsubishi. I avoid tackling cars with extensive electronics.

I know someone who had one of these from new, and his really did sound like a diesel.
It's the horrific styling that I couldn't deal with though.

Regardless of cost you paid a very great price and I believe your knowledge will allow you to definitely fix and profit. I’m interested to see if like many Bmw issues it’s just a faulty vanos sending all the codes. I sold my e60 550 just because it wasn’t a M5. But one day I’ll finally say I bought my favorite Bmw.
Watching Sam is like watching network TV, you know there will be lots of "commercials" to skip...
As good as some of the BMW's look and sound I've never pulled the trigger on one cause of the $$$. I just cant justify it when, as you say, there are better options.

I bought one from copart with a spun rod as well. Rebuilt the engine and she runs great now.
I think that same inspector worked at some of the Coparts that I bought from!! I literally bought a 2012 Suburban that 'runs n drives'... There was a rod hanging out of the bottom of the oil pan and a large hole in the block!
Did you do a Sam and took it back, or did you swap the engine?
I sold it for what I had in it. I did keep the connecting rod that the previous owner released from captivity as a reminder to not buy anything from Copart again.

Love the clip of the BMW UK HQ at the very beginning - my kid plays football opposite that building every week.
Repair costs estimates here in SF at 190 per labor hour:
Vanos line 2500, rod bearing 2500, clutch and flywheel 4300.
Haha, alot of those footage at the beginning are from our meets in the UK. How cool
Okay since you'll be getting your investment back in parts, how much for the rims? My 645ci stock chromes are in bad shape and leaking. Those rims look NICE!
I had a 2006 M6 with the same V10 and DSG transmission, main difference, mine only had 40,000km on it when I bought it in 2014. It needed nothing and was a thrill to drive. I also paid a lot for it.
My 2006 M5 had a oil pump failure that sends oil to the Vanos, long story short, oil was full of metal and BMW wanted $24,500 to basically rebuild the entire engine. My expensive warranty that I purchased thru the dealer (metrolina auto group) refused to cover the repairs. I could not cover that cost, so metrolina took the car back and found me an E92 M3 with over 100k miles to replace it. In hind sight, that M5 was amazing and so much fun to drive, I regret trading it, and should have found a way to rebuild or replace that engine with a dinan. With an after market exhaust and top speed limiter delete, it was like driving a heavier and more comfortable F1 car. I know this is tmi of my story, but that car could definitely be saved.
Something to keep in mind, there is no "Connecting Rod fubar" engine code. The PCM is trying to use stored data to compare to what it thinks it is wrong.
Have seen an engine with a window in it, yet drove. I mean, no way would you drive it like that, but drove.
Edit: Damn, I guessed right. I am sorry, I wanted to be wrong. I posted that before I saw.
You should really set your parking brake before loading and unloading vehicles on trailers. The back and forth motion can actually damage the parking gear in the transmission on the towing vehicle.
Steering angle refers to a sensor in the steering wheel most likely....
Probably good to get the battery charged first before scanning/clearing codes since modules do not behave reliably when voltage is low. (some modules will actually shut down to preserve battery life for more critical systems)
Here in the Netherlands we say: 'If you say A you will have to say B. Basically if you bought it and let us see this car on you channel, fix it and don't waste our time.
Timing problems. Cylinders are misfiring because chain is stretch timing guides are broken and cam is not aligning with crank.
This car comes from an owner who's usually on the CZcams comments section saying "muh BMW is bulletproof never had a single issue the V10 is more reliable than any Toyota hurr durr" I mean I love some BMW cars especially that V10 engine but there's no denying there's severe reliability issues with these
yeah im the same, i love beamers but these are sadly indefensible, no matter how cool they are
When I was younger my dad bought a 2005 BMW M5 and I fell in love with that car and now I want to find another but I can’t find one anywhere
Had a couple of these when they were the current model. One of my favourite cars. Just need to shop around for a low milleage model. Even then the electrics can fail. Had the idrive and injectors fail at just 4 year old. These are a weekend classic car and not a daily nowadays

@@castrofofo True the 1.6 hdi is really a beast when it's about reliability.
Almost fraud on the part of the original auction. They should have paid you the purchase price plus transportation cost.
For real 🤣
And yet he thinks he''ll MAKE money re-auctioning it? TF
Jay Last I think he said parting it out. He can make the money back tearing it down and selling ofd the parts. But the car as a whole? Nope
@Vlad cccp While this is true, if the auction listing is not as advertised most places like Copart will generally take the car back and repay you price paid plus transportation. But you have to have solid proof.
This confuses me. Everyone talks about today's "sue everyone for everything" culture but you see so many guys on YT buying stuff that's wrongly listed or faulty from new, or just cr@p, yet they never seem to get in the seller's face for a refund. Ignoring several things about that BMW, it was listed as "𝐍𝐨 mechanical issus". It had mechanical issues. Game Over, money back please.
Or am I over-simplifying it?
CONGRATULATIONS on the 1 Million subscribers🥳🔥📺🎞🎥📸🍺🍒‼
I considered buying one until 2 of my customers bought them and practically lived at the shop and they were very clean well serviced cars, if you go into the purchase knowing that it’s a black hole for money and seriously high maintenance car then carry on.
I had one sound like that and it was the vanos oil feed line in the sump starving the units and it spun a shell because the customer decided doing 190 was a good idea sounding like it did
i wouldn't recommend driving around, especially loading and unloading a car on a trailer, with the trunk or hood lid (for that matter) open. the whiplash can bend the support structures. don't ask how i know this.
@R R don't ask.
@R R and i asked you not to...
I mean that's true but also the engine had horrible Rod knock and so he didn't want to just drive it
Could you use "Carly" if you were walking around the auction lots checking out cars? I know most have dead batteries but if you had a portable battery that plugs into the Lighter Socket you could get enough juice running through it to just get the electronics talking to the Carly app on your cell phone. That would be interesting to see in your videos!
I agree and I think its okay to use but I will double check with the auction next time I go. Thanks for the idea!
The caterpillar was practically giving you a heads up bro! 🙅♂️🙅♂️🙅♂️
Just sold me on that Carly phone reader, cheap, effective, helpful and so easy for people to use
Visible tow hook = problems.
If I've learned anything from you Sam, it's to stay away from BMW's, glad I don't like them. Loved the vid though as I always do:)
Don't listen to these kinds of videos, they buy junk and don't really know what they're looking at most of the time. I've owned plenty of BMWs without issues, BUT of course 'issues' doesn't mean you can ignore maintenance - either scheduled or age related.

Always Always take note of codes, yes you will get codes after flat batteries but you will also have codes that are set during particular conditions
Instead of buying so many projects. Why don’t u finish one 🤦🏻♂️

Listen to this man Sam, really man, just finish one. God knows you have a paddock full of delinquent cars there. Just pick one!🛺🚙🚕🦽🚲🏍🛵🛹🦼🛴🚗🤣👍
I can’t wait to make a similar mistake. I’ve been eyeing these for awhile but had other cars to buy first.
Best practice is to note all the codes prior to clearing them. By clearing them it could be you got rid of a bunch of clues that can lead you in the direction of the real issue.
Using that garbage scan tool will not give him the accurate info needed . A real scan tool would log it automatically as to the next time he hooks it up he could see the history
I also prefer BimmerLink and BimmerCode over Carly for my M5. Might be worth checking those out too 👍
You really shouldn’t park the cars out in tall grass. If the grass is in contact with the underside components, the morning dew every day will eventually rust or corrode everything.
For some of these cars, that would be a blessing.
Just let him be. It’s okay.
I do not understand that either, making some space with gravel or sand or clay for couple of cars instead grass is not that expensive...
