I just bought one last month, 2006 Silverstone Metallic M5 fully loaded with every option, just hit 90k miles and all major repairs recently done with extensive maintenance and service records. I think i got it for a steal considering what i walked away with. it drives amazing and i cant stop looking at the damn thing. A few people already asking me how much i would sell for, and to be honest i think i will hold on to it for quite some time. the way this v10 screams is priceless, but what i love most about this car is that it has character and heritage, something the modern day M cars lack.

Congratulations man! It’s really hard to find these cars with all the repairs and service documentation. Usually they are from dealers who got it at auction and there is zero info on the car. Silverstone is a beautiful color, great purchase… enjoy it!

A few weeks ago I bought on BaT a 2008 M5 SMG with ~50k miles. I anticipated someone outbidding me but I won and I feel the value is so real. Black/black with aluminum trim and every option except soft close doors, all maintenance done and new tires. Not my only car, but I’m really loving it. Drives so nice. Right when I picked it up I did a multi-day paint correction on it and fresh window tint, this car really shines. Just did a 300+ mile road trip this weekend in it without a single issue. It’s crazy to me how inexpensive I got this car for what it is providing, the interior is plush too

Congrats Alex!! You definitely get a lot for your money with these cars, especially for what you paid, I think I just found your car on there. That’s an amazing deal considering the maintenance receipts it came with and the best part, that meisterschaft exhaust 🙌. You should have nothing to worry about for a veryyyy long time especially if you won’t be driving it much. Enjoy it!

Great video Alex. Top 10 lists....lol. do we know anyone like that? haha. Either way, yes, I have had people ask if I still have the E60 M5 and, hell yeah. Just over 30,000 miles(over 50,000 kms) and I was just chatting with a buddy recently about this very topic, and really SMG or not, a 200 mph super saloon with a strong stance and best sounding engine in a BMW means as we transition into more of these vacuum cleaner cars, the real enthusiasts.will long even more for the driver type cars. Mandates are coming, such as 2035 in Canada means no more new ICE cars new from factory, only forces these to scream in value like their exhaust note. onward and upward. Great summary.

It’s the California kids that get hellcats or C63 AMGs as their fist car and then go crazy with the uploads, but 75% of the video ends up just being a vlog and the rest has no credibility! Wow Mark you should drive it more, I didn’t realize yours had such low miles with how long you’ve had it 😎. But that’s great news because yours is exactly the ones going up in value. I’m at 136k miles now so I’m well beyond any sort of appreciation so it makes no difference to mine, but I do love to see it with other peoples’ cars like yours, the few remaining gems.

Great video, Alex. I'm sure the S85 cars will continue to appreciate as V10 production has ended with the last R8. Not to mention the manuals being the only manual V10 sedans. I recently bought a manual E60 M5 with Dinan High Flow Throttle Bodies, Intakes, Exhaust, and Performance Springs. It's Silverstone Metallic II and in very good shape. I got it with 89K miles and absolutely love driving it; I've already put 5k miles on it in since July. I can't see myself ever selling such a unique car, but it is nice to see the values go up.

In June of 2019, I Purchased my 2007 interlagos blue on black interior with SMGIII transmission for $26,250 on BaT…Only had 29k miles and also has the sport seats. The car is immaculate, inside and out. No soft close doors and no HUD, so a driving enthusiast bought this car new. Only seen one other E60 M5 without HUD. The car now has 33k miles and I’ve definitely driven her like I stole her during those 4K miles 🏎️ Also stacked up about $20k worth of mods throughout the past three years and almost ready to install full DINAN S2 mods and complete Supersprint F1 exhaust (headers/high flow cats/resonated X-pipe/F1 rear exhaust). The day after I bought the car I switched to Redline 5W-50 motor oil and had a full paint correction and 5yr ceramic coat applied. Only part left to buy are those astronomically priced DINAN throttle bodies…I keep all my stock parts so I’ll be getting slapped for the full price when the time comes. Back in 2017, they were selling for $2,200…Insane markup from DINAN since Steve sold the company. He now owns CarBahn and is still doing amazing work. Thanks for the E60 M5 content and keep it up bud! 👍🏻 PS: I reached out to the owner of that black 2010 stroked E60 M5, after he won the auction. He was going to send me videos of the car in action but, unfortunately, the car was riddled with problems and he ended up selling it immediately after his purchase…So sad that the car hadn’t been taken care of properly :(

I have a manual E46 as well and I really enjoy it. It depends if you prefer the the direct steering and nimble chassis of the E46 or just the sound/power of the V10. It also depends if you would sell it for a manual E60. If it’s SMG, if you haven’t driven one, they can feel quite strange and can take a while to get used to and would probably make you miss the 6 speed in the e46.

If you manual swapped your e60 m5 would it hold value? Or would people be scared to buy it since you swapped
@AlexGray
Жыл бұрын
It’s hard to say due to not many people having swapped these to manual and having seen what they sell for. But with the E46 M3, the manual swapped ones definitely do bring more money than the smg ones… they seem to at least get their money back from doing the swap. As long as you have documentation of who did the swap while using Bmw parts (very important), I think it would easily hold its value and shouldn’t scare many away, especially since manual M5s are so rare and especially if there were some miles put on the swap so buyers can see that it has been a reliable swap for xxxx amount of miles.
