I feel like the styling was ahead of its time. I used to hate the styling, but as time has gone on, these look stunning to me. My E61 is a stunner, and I always turn back to take a look at it everytime I park it. ❤️
You know you're car is great when every single time you drive it, it feels like another new adventure and when you park it you have to look back
Weird isn't it? I felt exactly the same way at the time, as did my brother who literally just bought an E60 525 msport today. 'Ahead of their time' is an understatement!
Oh my god I'm glad I'm not the only one! I always look back at it every time I park!
@@manjeetvirdee8975 i always look back on mine as well still after (own an e90 but in love with e60, might gonna buy it)
There’s not another car of that age that looks as cool and modern as the e60
Exactly that
Cls 350?

Exactly 👌
Completely agree with you, I've had mine for 7 years and it's still turning heads.
Good job my friend
same here guys, I only have a 530d but I love it so much.. Im looking for M54 or N52 now, but in my country (Slovakia) there are only Škodas everywhere..
E60 will never go out of style, it still looks modern, & way ahead of its time
It always did and still does my friend glad to see your still here bro we about to hit that 100K and I’m glad your still here for the ride Máté I appreciate it ✊
@@BMWDoctor Keep up the great content Dr. Dean! I'm glad you've come along to the BMW community! I also enjoy watching your videos :)
Just got an e60 last July and running smooth and strong. 210000 miles. This is a incredible piece of German engineering
Of course it is and always will be
Absolutely agree, the design wasn't well received in its time but it hasn't aged. Even today it doesn't look dated.
My 535d ain’t going anywhere, it’s a definite keeper. Nicest car I’ve ever driven. And plenty quick enough 😉. Thanks for all your informative videos and for sharing your wealth of knowledge, it has helped me and countless others carry out repairs on their BMW’s which otherwise would have cost a fortune at dealers or BMW specialist garage. Keep it up and all the best for 2021.
I own a E60 530I now still very good.. 👍👍👍
I used to trade in my cars every couple of years, until I got the E60 (used). I've owned this 550i for 10 years with the only issue being the steering angle sensor. It's gone out twice in those ten years, but that's a 45 minute, $5 repair.
Throughout the years, I've gone twice to trade in the E60 for a newer car. Both times I got out of the car I was test driving, gave the key back to the salesman and literally ran back to my E60 and drove home.
My pre-LCI weights only 3800 lbs with a V8, so it will pick up speed like a hungry cheetah. Because of the active suspension, it corners very flat, yet the suspension is not punishing at all on rough surfaces. Just the other day, a new neighbor told me that her husband was envious of my "brand new" BMW. I just laughed and say "this old thing?"
So you stand for the N62 V8? After several videos it's not in the top 5 reliable engines it's not in the top 5 worst either.
@@s2kfunk I have the same model, msport 4.8. They certainly have some weak points but are all fixed with regular servicing. If you can work on cars yourself they are exceptional bang for buck. I don't want another car... everything else is less for more money.
I am interested in the 550i e60 pre lci. What do i need to avoid?
I've had my 530d M Sport from new (2006). It is still like new after 15 years, no problems at all, covered 80k miles. Still looks new. Had the blanking plates done by PMW in Chelmsford. Avoided remap. I over-service it, no expense spared. Often think I should buy a new car, but my car drives perfectly, no rattles, fast and 40 mpg. No rust, the paintwork is perfect. Was told that this era of BMW was the last to have multi-layered thick paint etc. All the original light bulbs still work, never had to replace a single bulb. Only one new set of brake discs and pads from new. Will probably keep it until electric cars become more reliable and have more range, my car isn't worth anything, but at the same time I would never find one so well looked after again. So many people, even today, tell me how beautiful it looks. Only gripe is the run flats and hard ride. Brilliant cars, so happy to own one.
Aesthetically, the backside on these things is the best looking on any BMW made IMO. Rear side profile on spiders, I don't think it'll ever age. Absolutely timeless.
Love mine and don’t think I’ll ever sell it, only a 520d m47 but it’s all I need, gets me everywhere I want to in comfort and other than a small dpf issue has never let me down.
Great video. I bought one in 2022, 525i with 141kw, running on LPG gas as well and after I changed battery and coded it, BMW is working great.
My dad had this car almost 20 yrs ago and I called it Dame Edna (those headlights!) he maintained it himself and it lasted years. I now have one myself and I driving it is like therapy and spa treatment. My dad helps me with the maintenance and I have found a fantastic mechanic with 40 yrs experience and has worked on more e60s than Sytner and charges half of what they do! There are some of garages that know this car. It’s the dark horse family run garages that have been in practice for several decades.
Bangle actually wasn’t the main designer of this car. Thanks to an internal sketching contest, an Italian guy named Davide Arcangeli was responsible for the majority of the e60 and Bangle more or less signed off on it. Unfortunately Arcangeli never lived to see the e60 make it to production because he died of Lukemia a few years before the car would be released. I find it sad that this guy died designing one of the best cars in the world and gets so little credit for it.
E60 all day! Love my LCI e60, most solid and gorgeous car I've had the pleasure of owning thus far 👌 you've done it again Dean! Great video mate!
Thanks my friend I appreciate it
first time I saw it.. I already fell in love with it... can't trade my E60 for any car... didn't give me a headache...
I never thought I would see somebody love this car as much as myself. Glad to see someone appreciate it so much. Getting my dreamed car ( this e60 ) really soon!
Amazing. I've had a 530d e60 for 3 years. I've had many issues with the car slot of struggles. But I battled through and its absolutely perfect. I love the car never since I was a kid. The stories I could tell from my e60 alot of people would not believe. But I have full trust in the M57's motors and the e60 is just gorgeou. Especially the lci model.
Agree with you on this. I own an E60 08 550i sport package and it's stunning. Uncle owns e60 09 M5. People be asking us if we are willing to sell the car all the time. Never selling our E60. Pure collectable.
I'm looking at buying an E60 55 plate 101k, should I steer clear of this one!
The e60 is my absolute favorite bm to this day ! The platform is amazing!
Good man chad I know it is your like me
@@BMWDoctor absolutely mate! Congratulations on 100k my man ! You deserve it ...
Thanks bro I appreciate it you been here for along time now bro and you watched how in the short space of time this channel rocketed man but I couldn't of done it without you guys supporting me the haters never stopped me from day one and you guys made it possible man. we ain't there yet but should be this week.
I appreciate you chad mate always watching and supporting regardless
@@BMWDoctor anytime brother ! I’m always going to be by your side ! You wouldn’t believe how many people I’ve told about you that had no idea an thanked me later ! Your the man dean!
These have grown on me over time and I do really like them now. Still, love an E39, but I might get an E60 soon.
Dean, so best engine to get in a E60?? Petrol or Diesel?? Could you just give me the best model and choice of engine please mate? Thanks.
As much as I’m enjoying my F30, I must admit I do miss my 525i, NA inline 6. Perhaps it only offered adequate power & torque by comparison with the inline 4 turbo, but its smoothness sure beats the 4 bangers. You are so correct to say it’s difficult to find a decent well maintained E60 nowadays.
Bmw doctor got an issue my e60 535d nobody can seem to fix absolutely love my car but its driving me insane I have no power to my horn or 12v socket and no power to the 3 20a fuses in the boot any advice ?
There's no errors or warning messages
Well said! Thank you!
Awesome video BMW Doctor !
I have one from 2008 530i 6 in-line cylinders, 24 valve.
I bought it back then, paint is original untouched (except stone chips at front) and still shows the factory finish platinum gold.
200k miles on the clock and drives superb still after 15 years. No major issues except wear and tear. Original e60 engine and 6 speed triptronic gearbox untouched except for servicing. Very fast with top end 155mph 😜.
I would buy a new one again if I could. Had a recall few years ago from main BMW which gave me updated injectors and coil packs all courtesy of main BMW dealer. BMW reckon the engine will run 250K mikes before rebore.
Problem is nowadays is finding a quality mechanic to take care of it as dealers are a rip off.
Timeless engineering .... Will never sell it. Watch out for me on Car SOS with Fuzz pimping my ride 🤣🤣🤣
Hi doctor, my E60 523i year 2006 jerk while stopping from gear 2 to 1. Any issue shall i aware as to identify where is the problems. Tq in advance.
Best looking 5 series of all time. Chris Bangle is a genius. A prophet.
How is the reliability on the 530xi models. Is there a lot of extra maintenance required?
I have a E60 535xi & I fell in love with it, giving me a headache but still such a beautiful car!
Purchased my 2006 BMW 525i six months ago and i enjoy driving it. ..i love its iconic design.
What do you think of diesel models like e60 530d or 535d? Should I get one?
I drove an e60 as my first car, had great times with it, honestly made it the best year of my life. The transmission blew and I couldn't afford to fix it, so I had to sell it to someone who wanted it for parts. Still to this day, I regret that choice and constantly dream about driving that machine again.
What color was it?
One of the most controversial BMW designs out of any series but a stunner💯🙌
i own now e90 for almost a year, and man i love the style of e60, the front lights the rare lights oh my god.. in love with the car!
2010 CPO 528i bought in 2013 now with 93k. I’m not anywhere knowable and experienced as you with these but my son can help out when needed. Only one issue fixed by dealer. Maintaining really is not that bad. I love this car and later I added a 2015 535i just for me which I love also. I still drive hers a lot though, and it goes on the longer trips.

Sweden.
Nice video.
Hi there, could I please get some help and advise from you for the bmw 5 2004 which is picked last week.
Thanks
Sujay
Just bought a 08 528i with 81k miles. Only had it 2 weeks and I love it
What year is yours? I was thinking about buying one 2003 . What do you think?
Bro you’ve helped me with my 530i so much , appreciate it! I was wondering if you could do a video to deal with the wing mirror paint rust.
Yes I can
@@BMWDoctor n52 530i one of the best cars out there to this day
Yes i have 04 530i i love it and dmw doctor has helped me alot?
Thanks alot bro my 07 530i running strong 💪 🙏
@@pascual0613 what do u have to keep up with the 530 im looking to purchase one
Encouraging video there mate 🔥
Awesome video, just a quick nerdy note.. Chris Bangle was the chief designer but it was actually Davide Arcangeli who made the concept of this Bmw e60. It was so radical that Chris needed a few years to give the “ok” for the project to start. Sadly, Davide died before the first car was ever sold..
I have a bmw e60 525d msport 2005 year..done 195k mileage and still very smooth..unbelievable car..just water leak on rear seats letting me down and water in battery compartment..any ideas?
Cheers Mate! Great info always! Thanks for all your vids. If you ain't driving a BMW, you ain't driving nothing but shit. Happy New year!
well said my friend and happy new year to you
These cars are excellent. I am defo looking to buy one but want a M5 E60. I have brought a 330cd 2006 manual and just fixing the problems on it first. Many thanks Dean for the videos 🙏🏼😊
Couldn't agree more!
We have owned a 2006 e60 since it was new, it now has 185k miles or 297k km on it now. Always done regular maintenance and still rides like new. I was going to sell it but since watching Dr. Dean why should I?
Yo G Happy new year to you and your family Big dawg !!

Keep it going bro cant thank you enough what you did for me and got my car back running when nobody else could we nearly hitting that 100K my man.

BMW 535i x drive LCI, I have a P3 reader in continually gives me 2E85 no communication with Water pump, everything is working properly even bleeding the system
600 miles ago had the pump and thermostat replaced, no Engine ligh on the dash.
Any thoughts please?
@bmw doctor Im looking at a 2004 e60 v6 not sure which engine it is but its a manual is that one a good buy or should i stay away from it?
Bought E61 530i in 2021, absolutely stunning!
Hey Happy New Year Dean!! I have a 2006 530i M Sport and have had it for nearly 4 years now. Love it to bits mate. Wonderful car!!
Thanks, you too!
I just did my 08 535i. Ebay 19t turbos and fbo. This thing rips!

The age of exp tank . ?????
Hello brother, love your channel and passion towards BMW E60.. 👍👍...BTW I'm planning to buy E60 used one, so which one would you suggest Petrol or Diesel??.. also which engine among these is better..
Thanks in advance...😇
I concur! I own an ‘08 e60 550i. I intend on keeping it for my 2-year-old son to enjoy!
Why not the N63? Is that the one with carbon issues and valve seals that leak?
How is the reliability? Is there any specific model to maybe consider or some model that is absolutely not worth buying?
I bought an e60 530i 08 Lci last year after watching this video and I fell in love with it, really a beautiful car especially with the m tech body kit.
What I really enjoy about it is how the people think it's a new car like 2015 or something like that.😆
It had couple issues but thanks to u doctor I've managed to fixed it all and now its my daily. 😎✌️
What got broken im thinking to buy 530i but scared bc it is the first bmw i will own also thinking about genesis 2009
I have an 06 carbon black e60 with 18" BBS rx209's, eibach springs on a private plate & it still looks fresh and modern looking today.
There you go and I'm glad your enjoying it
This car is beautiful.
Truely special, we won't see cars like these anymore, and don't get me started on the gem of a 3,000cc engine, music to the ears.
I wish i could afford it ❤
Bimmer all the way.
Yes bro my o7 530i all my buddies be like dam what year is this and they be shock when i tell them its an 07 its a beauty keep it up i love learning alot more about my car !
No problem bro keep enjoying it and keep the hustle real with these cars
Should i get e60 525d 2006 177hp as my first car
Is that engine reliable?
I have the 2005 530i in the carbonshwartz colour. I love this car and had it for ten years. I will never sell it. Looking to upgrade the idrive system. Cant see the link for the idrive upgrade in your description.
I have a 07 BMW E60 525i with 115k miles on it.. are you saying I should hold on to it?
I had my 2008 BMW 550i for the past 8 years. I’ve had issues in the past but I still love them so much!! Her name is Daphney and she’s a keeper.
lol Love it
Doc you're right but also slightly wrong about these cars, my 530D left me stranded a few months back and it kept on juddering no codes in ista or any other software i had to take it to an Indy in the end first time in my life he could not figure it out either but in the end he did it turned out to be the throttle body for some reason Ista would not pick it up and store it in the system so i suppose it all depends on the issue at hand. I'm sure 95% of issues can be dealt with via maintenance and diagnostic software aslong as the diagnostics picks up the problem.
On a 2010 535i xdrive E60 which kgm/kbm model.... think min where replaced
Very good explanation
Mine’s being bugged by the “Central electronic failure “ issue. Have changed module, still same.
Love your videos mate, straight to the point. Left the Toyota guys crying after this video lol
I've owned an E61 and two E60s. If you can't look after them or want something cheap to repair buy a Ford or Vauxhall. My current one is a 523i 55 plate with 55k on. It won't break any land speed records but it's a solid motor and been cared for. History is important with these cars
Hello man. I'm looking forward to buy my first car. You think that this is a good car for a "first car " ? Thanks.
Hi mate my cog ⚙️ engine lights come on cars lacking power Any suggestions need help please
Nice vid Dean, agree they are a great reliable cruiser /GT car , I've got a 640d but thats just my preference. In terms of comfort and solid engines these are the nuts . Any chance of doing some content on transmission oil changes , the ZF boxes , differences , servicing , reviews. ? Have a good 2021 pal👍
I have that planned my friend on my X5 and will been doing that very soon indeed it will be the same for all ZF gearboxes my friend.
@@BMWDoctor hey Dean I'm about to buy a 2010 528i bmw for 9000$ has 70,000kms and 2nd owner is this a good deal ? I need to know before I spent the money ! Thanks again
Happy New Year Dean!! Nice video to start the year 👌👍😎
Your welcome bro you been here along time bro and glad to see your still here.
Appreciate you watching and yep here it comes I’m starting the year with the E60 again as always for all you guys.
Can never forget my subs who are all mostly E60 😁
I kinda miss a “regular” car, had saloons before my current E53 3.0iA. should I look for a E60 or stick with now almost fully fixed E53?
E60 is more reliable and doesn’t break or rust as easy as that generation e series if it was me I would go for E60 I own all of them and I prefer E60 over E53 drives better much nicer and much nicer interior
Just bought a 07 525i got it at a auction for $900 missing key and unknown milage so it was a no start no crank, last oil sticker had 191k, car was so complete n not super torn up.
If engine is bad or anything Im gonna use it to teach my son how to fix and work on cars, hes 5 so he has 10 plus years of learning by the time its his.
Already figure out of of the issues thank to your videos, i found a spare key in glove box and just order a bmw specific scanner to reset the steering lock counter, will work throughout the rest of the issues as the years come along. If we get bored might turbo it or swap it 😂
How reliable is the E60 with the N62 engine?
Hey? Thanks for this video Pal. I’ve just bought a BMW E60 525d M Sport… it’s done 120k miles. Full BMW service 18 stamps. New full service. Drive flat tires whatever that means? One previous lady owner. Eight months MOT. I paid £3000. Was that too much or average? Can you or someone comment please?
I like my 2007 530d (which I bought in 2012) so much that I a still drive it in 2023! Drives like the day I bought it 😀
Can you tell me about 3.0 525i m sport steptronic euro 4 4dr 2008 petrol?
Just bought my 2006 525d and love it
I own mine since 2017 and i love it !! 2004 525d m57n auto ! best bmw channel on youtube !!
Thanks a lot Mate I appreciate it a lot trust me this channel has blown up over the last few months it’s become unstoppable the views the subscribers has been unreal.
I have invested the money from the last few months into bigger things trust me I’m taking this channel to a new height bro just wait 😁 this month it’s coming.
One of my favourite bmw designs to be honest
Paid 3250 for a 535d, in fact the cheapest in the country. The car auction website estimated the value in its current condition at 3500… it needs an engine and transmission revision, it leaks oil from a few places.. Do you think it’s worth bringing it back to life? 260k original km
My most favorite 5 series. I Loooovee it 😍
This is my favourite car i ever driven ! Im gonna looking for it in 2023 :)
Where can i buy that screen for my 06 e60?
Just picked my 2nd one up few days ago! 👌🏻 125k on the clock
I have an 07 530i with the 6spd, it’s at 232k miles and going strong
Is the 2009-2010 models also good ?
Absolutely agree, but why is the older M54 unreliable/or the one to let go? We're at 240k with the 2004 530i, and of course, had some issues. Nothing of great money and we still love this car. Planning to get it to 500k if it wants to 🎉
can i use Pro ATF +4 in my BMW 525 2007 E61
Is a 525i still worth holding onto?
What about the 2004 is it reliable a 545 6 speed
People can say whatever they want about the e60 m5. But I love it!
Just first second ❤ love u bro u mean business in my language we say shisa tsotsi thanks
