Why I'm Obsessed with the BMW E60 M5

#e60m5 #bmwe60m5 #v10m5
In this fourth video in this series - driving friend and fellow car enthusiast Ilyas Akbar's 2003 E39 M5 back-to-back with my 2008 BMW E60 M5 - here we focus on the V10-powered M5. Later in the video, I tell Ilyas - and you, of course - the dramatic story of when I first drove an E60 M5 back in 2007, and who planted the seed.

To illustrate many of my points, I added classic video clips of the E60 M5 from "Top Gear" with Jeremy Clarkson, "Fifth Gear" with Tiff Needell driving the E60 M5 back around '05-'06 when it was the latest and greatest from Munich. If you haven't already, you can watch them, respectively, here:    • BMW M5 - One Button Makes All the Dif...   and here:    • BMW M5 E60 Review #TBT - Fifth Gear  .
Then I briefly feature Sreten from M539 Restorations topping out his "Project Raleigh" E60 M5 manual 6-speed at 205 mph on the autobahn here:    • Tested To The Limit - V10 BMW E60 M5 ...  .

I also included clips from videos I made with Jack's cars over seven years ago:
Reviewing Jack's i8:    • BMW i8 Review & Drive  
A quick drive in Jack's Alpina B7:    • BMW Alpina B7 Drive  
Jack's Hellcat:    • Jack's Hellcat
