    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...

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.

    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.

    • @alexburke1899

      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.

      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.

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.

      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!

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.

    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

  • @geraldcole3315
    @geraldcole3315 Před 3 lety +1

    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.
