welcome back everybody mark with exotic car play place thanks for joining in
today I want to talk about some of the key design features of this car some of
the good things that I love about it like some of the elements that were a
good design good engineering practice put into this car I'm also going to
feature some of the bad practices and some of the poor designs and some of the
things that really don't work well on this car as a rule I know some of you
guys have been asking for that I've seen recent comments asking for this stuff
I'm gonna share with you some really quick high-level ones that are gonna
talk about good and bad and ugly if need be so let's get started so let's start
with talking we're gonna work our way around the car and I'm gonna show you
some of the features on the exterior under the engine bay as well as the
interior let's get started so when here first of all you'll notice this car is
the e60 m5 and this is a five liter v10 500 horsepower beast you look in here
there's just a hole here there's a vent that's all this is this is for actually
engine cooling you'll notice the standard cars that actually have fog
lights here the m5 does not come equipped with fog
lights because it uses this space now to actually funnel air in to help cool the
engine this is not your garden-variety daily driving machine this is the fun
this is the hot rod car and it's designed more as a performance car so
it's basically form follows function you know some of the honeycomb grille is
great elements to this this is something you'll find in a lot of exotic cars that
honeycomb grille is a beautiful thing so some cool things that I like about the
m5 of course e60 fender flares right there thunder flare here it doesn't look
like much that coupled with this rocker here that sticks out shows that this car
is menacing and it means business you also have an upgraded mirror for the m5
these great little vents beautiful designs style touches here
with these vents of course not just the m5 logo but the actual vents make this
car stand out and actually look significantly better than the standard
car like a 530 or a 525 even little touches like this do huge wonders for
the overall styling look so let's go back here another thing I love about
this cover this car actually has the soft touch so
see it opens the car was locked you just hold the button as long as you've got
the key in your pocket you you're able to just use the soft touch and I'll
demonstrate it again here lock up cars locked I'm gonna go to unlock it just
like that so you don't need the key necessarily in your hand it's a great
thing that way so let's close that let's close the door come on around the back
let's take a look now the other thing you'll notice and this is goes all the
way around the back are these wheels these wheels are
spectacularly you know they they really make the car pop because they're a
19-inch rim of course you can upgrade them to a twenty a lot of people do and
they a lot of people set them deeper in the wheel well here because actually
these fenders are more or less rolled here by factory this is actually like a
factory roll if you can see so you'll notice the roll here this is actually
thin and then it widens as you get down here so this is actually factory rolled
to allow for a wider tire you can put it be a pretty beefy set of rubbers under
this thing again because there's no fender lip here it's basically rolled in
and just expands out here just for the look but really it will accommodate a
pretty substantial tire under these wheel wells of course with the arches
the flares and everything on the sides and the rockers makes this car look
menacing I love that look that's a great design on the back here just styling
cues like this little fin like this on the back make this thing look
pretty sharp down here as well to add some aggressive look at the back you've
got the quad tailpipes which again BMW is always good at subtlety but yet it's
a strong subtlety you've got the splitter underneath here
the double or the quad exhaust the indented bumper which you don't find on
the standard car ok so let's go inside for a second I'm gonna pop the hood
we'll take a look under the hood I'm gonna show you a couple things I like so
this will just lift that up and then we'll go up under here under the hood ok
so we're gonna lift the hood here and we'll talk about some things under here
that are good and bad so underneath these plenums are the factory actuators
the throttle actuators which are unknown problem on these cars well they have
internal gears crappy shitty design I don't know what BMW is thinking those
gears trip out and then you get a fault code
and then it costs you thousands of dollars to get that fixed not only that
you've got to remove all this plenum business and get this junk out of the
way to even access those things plus the parts are very expensive anyway
fortunately there's an aftermarket guy that will fix these for you and put
metal gears in there but it's a bad design right from the hop another thing
I don't like are these plastic plenums sure they look kind of cool but they're
not like the Italians do it which is metal they've got that nice frosted
metal look aluminum like the Italians do in the Ferraris and the Lamborghinis BMW
kind of does it a little bit on the cheap a lot of plastic here which i
think is a little bit kind of downgrades it doesn't look bad I just think
aluminum would have been a little bit prettier in there now in terms of a good
design thing here of course look at this this is the battery terminal there is
your positive battery terminal post right there and there's your negative
there's a little post right there to clamp your negative post your negative
cable - those things are awesome this way you don't have to connect up to a
live battery if you're boosting the car which I wouldn't advise but if you've
got a charger you put your tender on there it's very easy access to connect
up right here you don't actually have to connect to the battery and because of
this I would say BMW has it going on here I have a lot of you know seeing a
lot of the Italian cars the Ferraris I know my Lamborghini a lot of them they
tuck batteries in really obscene areas and that's the only access point like my
Lamborghini you've got to pull the front trunk door open it's not bad
but it's not as good access as this for charging as well as some of the Ferraris
to put them in either the foot wells or a Lamborghini Diablo for example goes do
you actually have to take the driver rear tire off to take the plastic out
and then get into batteries tucked in in the fender well they're absolutely
horrible design for access you think they've kind of think that one through
BMW has it here obviously good access to the battery power so you can charge it
as well the battery itself is in the trunk which is very accessible and that
of course should be coded by the way when you change a battery it should be
looked at that way as well another really really crappy design I know
everyone rolls with these cars hates the design
and that is no dipstick almost virtually every newer BMW runs without a dipstick
there's no dipstick with these cars it's all done electronically now I know I did
an oil change on this car and you probably saw the video on it guys
I didn't all change on this about a week ago I parked the car I put nine whatever
quarts of oil in there I put about nine and a half quarts but because I didn't
drive the car right after now I started up today when I backed the car out it
shows zero and it gives me a little kind of error and it shows zero out of you
know the zero to one is it's at zero I'm zeroed out right now so it hasn't had a
chance to properly warm up and level out and stabilize so you have no way to
really check your oil properly at least until the cars properly warmed up which
kind of sucks because again now it forces you to take it for a long drive
or you know twenty kilometers it's got to be properly warmed up before you can
even get an assessment what the oil levels like or if there's a problem do
you have antifreeze in the oil you know do you have the frothing going on tell
you no indications of possibly blow by there's no way to evaluate the condition
of the oil or the level of the oil which is kind of an old classic you know
mechanics thing that way of managing that so that is a bad design another
thing of course access to these now the air boxes you know generally are fairly
accessible there's Clips around but there's also unfortunately there's some
things that have to be unbolted to access so it's kind of not that
user-friendly to access the air filters now things that are good and good are
really accessible on these cars another good design are these things right under
here are your pollen filters your micro filters there's one on either side the
driver's side and the passenger side here great design very accessible keeps
it out from having a stand on your head in the cabin like a lot of cars have
them inside the cabin and you have to basically stand upside down and can be a
contortionist to get them out here it's very accessible very easy to get out you
just got to take a couple things off there's electrical connectors flip it up
bada-boom bada-bing done okay so we'll talk about some of the
features on the inside of this car which I think we're well-designed controls
that are simple but effective you've got dual heated
dual climate control you know you've got I mean you've got your CD DVD players
partially because this is an older vintage car so you're talking about your
GPS system navigation runs through there but everything you know it's either dual
dual heated dual power seats dual dual everything it's very very nicely
equipped but everything is nicely designed now these ones on the other
other hand you've seen lots of videos these these ones work well you'll notice
I push these in and they're working like a charm
but that can't be said for everybody's car there's lots of these on the
internet that you see guys talking doing videos on the e60 where these start kind
of failing on you they don't pop open or they Jam closed or the design of this is
very nice this should have extended leather
doesn't I wish I did that is a very nice feature for those cars that have it
however I do have the brushed aluminum which i think is a superior look a lot
of cars nowadays are lacking that as a matter of fact even if you look at a new
Huracan which I you know I'd like to possibly look at some point and maybe
picking up one however there's a lot of plastic in that for a modern-day
Lamborghini that you pay three hundred and fifty thousand dollars for why
doesn't it have either more carbon fiber or more leather touch even the Guyardo
has more leather or it seems that has more leather finishing inside than the
newer Huracan which coincidentally is a nice car it's great it's fast
spectacularly good in a lot of things however they've reverted back to more
plastics and and poorer finishing unless of course you get that perform ontei
which that has lots of carbon but you gotta pay dearly for that car
so these cars are well equipped well finished and well made in general so on
the this earlier generation I've got the pre LCI car of course it's an old six
you've got the older generation of I Drive control here this you can tell the
bigger knob it doesn't have the extra buttons on it and of course the iDrive
system here is very vintage now I won't fire that up just yet I'm not going to
take off just yet but the I drive in these earlier cars are pretty barbaric
by today's standards now you have gesture control in the Newark
this doesn't not only that doesn't have gesture control it's very barbaric to
look at as a matter of fact - it's very slow and delayed so poor design but you
know what I guess on the defense of the BMW brand hey guess what that gets
improved on every generation so like every car they get better with time
they get improved so let's get to the back of the machine here these cars how
many cars can you tell actually have rear heated seats dual heated seats
you've got front and back heated seats in this car some of the m5s actually
have cooled seats as well this one does not have that equipped but some do so
you've got dual heated seats back here you've got dual DC controls so if you've
got two kids or a couple people with they've got plug-in chargers or whatever
you're gold in there you've got an extra storage cubby in here which is kind of
nice and it's actually leather wrapped so it's a nice feels very high-quality
of course going in here you also have this pass-through area here which you'll
notice this takes you right into the trunk so you've got a little junk in the
trunk here and of course you've got a ski bag inherently in here there's a
there's a bag here which is allows you to pass skis or a hockey stick through
without scratching the interior it protects it because of this bag so we'll
close that up and close this great design you've also got Alcantara on the
back deck of this and a sunshade at the back here nicely designed honestly I
can't tell you how many times you drive along you get that glare this will keep
that glare out of your eyes a great design as well look at this we also have
this I mean who's thinking about this but guess what not only can you mount
this but now BMW has and I'm gonna get the GoPro mount for this car they
actually have the GoPro mount that mounts between the headrest posts here
and it hooks in there and it sticks out and you're able to set up your GoPro as
you know I do as a youtuber set up your GoPro to mount and and it's a great
place to mount that stuff so good design thoughts around this as well you've got
lots of features like this well-designed overall lots of room in the back it's a
very good use of the space in these 5 Series ok so now the gas cap I'll show
you down here so pretty easy to operate pretty typical stuff but you'll notice
over here there's a pin so right now the car is unlocked because it is with the
BMW's you have this is kind of a cool feature I mean
how many times have you found yourself dropping this or having no place to put
your gas cap well BMW with this little design allows
you to keep this in place without having to worry about putting it in your pocket
hitting the ground falling breaking setting it somewhere I know the
Lamborghini that I have in the garage has that problem it's a beautiful cap
but there's no place to put it when you're gassing up so I'm gonna put that
back on but more to that over here there's a pin there's a pin over here
which locks it you'll notice this this is the act this is what it grabs on and
there's a pin so I'm gonna simulate unlocking the car I'm going to use the
remote right here I'm gonna press the lock and watch you're gonna see a pin
come out which slides into this you know set pin unlock lock unlock let's put it
hey let's try to lock it now I can't do that unlock it now I can access it what
a great little design right keeps those thieves from trying to suck that gas out
of your tank there lots of thieves now with oil and gas the cost that they are
today barrels at an all-time record and gas is just expensive as hell today why
would you not want to protect some of that investment a gas a fill-up can cost
you $100 why not protect that so you lock that up
great little designed by BMW and a lot of cars do that but these guys do too so
there's another thing here I'm gonna start the car real quickly
are you out here you'll notice you have the heads-up
display there you'll see 0 km/h I have it right now set up on default but on M
mode it gives you the full tachometer and everything but you actually have
heads-up display which is a great design theme on this car thanks for watching
everybody make sure you hit the subscribe and the notification bell love
to see on the next one see that bye bye
