“This sounds like a piece of agricultural equipment.” Exactly what you want to say when describing a high revving, high maintenance V10 lol.

Are you considering a CIC iDrive retrofit? The CCC system in my dad’s E60 is absolutely useless at this point, and I ejected the disc so I didn’t have to listen to the optical drive spinning anymore.

Will you have to replace the trunk lid to fit a German plate? I always found it odd that the M5’s is shaped for a specific market’s plates, whereas the non-M E60’s trunk lid isn’t market-specific.


As always, great video. Entertaining, informative, and the 30 minutes flew right by.
