Regarding the aircon, it's working because the previous owners used it all the time (as it should be winter and summer). It mostly has issues with the system components when owners think they are being smart by turning it off. In reality, all you are doing is increasing the humidity and fogging up windows by turning it off. Leave it on all the time and you are VERY unlikely to have issues.

Correct. We don't have the problem of a/c failures due to lack of use here where I am in Aus, because, only fools and masochists don't run the a/c in all but the depth of winter (because you'd cook before you got to the end of the street), and even then it helps to dehumidify/defog the car.

The diamond key can be charged by either driving the car or by an electric toothbrush. Use the base of the toothbrush ( it has a coil inside) and put that key inside - I am NOT joking. It takes roughly overnight to charge fully as it's a slow charge but it bloody works! The bad point is if you don't use your spare diamond key on a regular basis it will go completely flat and will need battery replacement (DIY only - it's sealed for life)

I'm quite pleased with this... always cracks me up Matt, love the format of your videos 👍

Sorry to hear that you're ill, Matt. Personally I despise having a sore throat. I can literally deal with any other symptom associated with a cold or flu, but not that one. Not sure if they sell it on your side of the pond, but Tylenol Sore Throat syrup is the only thing I've found that works well, and instantly. It works so well and fast that after about a full minute, if you feel no relief, call up your doctor and make an immediate appointment because you have a serious infection in your throat. (Not even joking. Found that out on my own, the hard way.) Biggest issue with the syrup is liver damage. But you'd have to chug several gallons upon gallons of the syrup to actually do any damage to yourself. So, no worries there. As for the car, don't know what to say. ONLY $500 for one that runs *THAT* well and clearly has been taken care of? Wondering if the owner was desperate for money. Hopefully after 20+ years he just found another car he likes better, and just had no clue about pricing. Oh well, Cheers Matt. Hope you get better very very soon.

Another great video keep them coming.

The voice cracking near the end 🤣 I’m going through the same thing! I absolutely love that 5 series Matt. My dad had an ‘06 520d when I was a kid so nostalgia is a huge reason why I think. It just helps that when a good example like this shows up, it really is a lovely, great car. The instrument cluster, the comfort, the design, the engines - all so good.

This is not a diagnosis but simply an opinion from experience. You sound run down . Our physical and mental health are closely related. Don't ignore the way you feel. See a professional who you gel with and who is empathetic. Take some time away to heal yourself. Your health is the most precious possession you have. Please take care.

This type of spec was the main thing that drew me to my old GS300 (in that car's case, it was a deep maroon with a beige interior and beige headlining) - a lighter colour, light interior and smaller wheels are the least try-hard, most mature spec for a luxo-barge, which suggests the owner was someone with the money and will to actually take care of it.

I really love that you know everything about your bmw’s!

Talking about aircon, many years ago travelling in India in the ubiquitous Hindustan Ambassador taxi, the driver said "do you want aircon", if you said yes they would wind the windows down or drive on the shady side of the road. I doubt any had aircon, and you would be lucky if even the wind down windows worked. Stick to the Tuk Tuks Yes the Beemer looks very good, and of course the indicators worked OK.

​@AWMJoeyjoejoe well in all fairness this is wrong. The M54 engines were all straight 6s and it carried over from the previous 3 & 5 series but only for two years (53-54 plates) then they introduced the N46 for the 320/520i which was a 4 cylinder and then swapped it for the N43 which was another 4 cyl. Worst decision they ever made

We had 320i growing up and part of the fun of the relatively gentle acceleration compared to the larger engines was that you got to hear that straight six sound track for longer. You also had to work it harder. Which it enjoyed. Was replaced with a 328 which he liked less as it was too quick. Then a 525i which he loved followed by a 535d which was much faster but lacked the glorious soundtrack

Another great video ..I do like that shape 5 series..I know-when the first press releases were shown..people were saying what the hell have they done..but I think a very late shape 530d M-Sport in Zinnobar Red what a peach..👌

Been looking at a lot of E60s online. The design's really growing on me.

Very nice car, can't beat that six cylinder engine.

In the car park it looked a little tired, but that is a lovely car. I was thinking "Why was it only £500?" but it just seems like a genuine bargain. That six cylinder sounded lovely as well. And they were the sort of car that someone upgraded from an old 90's Mondeo to. To quote Matt; That must've been some car when it was new.

That little ninja car airfreshner above the driver door gone unnoticed hiding for its life 😂

Low mileage, extra key ordered not too long ago and a working airconditioning. Looks like the previous owner liked the car (except for the cosmetic things).

A great presentation of an excellent car. That 6 cylinder engine was - and is - silky smooth. I drove both an E reg "Mk1" 5 Series and an example of what you've got there. I can thoroughly recommend them. In fact, if I was in the market for such a car & didn't live 8 miles from Lowestoft, I'd buy it off you!

Just getting over a cold myself. It was a bad one. You have my sympathies.

I got given an '04 530i last year. Serviced it and had the air con recharged and its a bloody brilliant car. Comfy, fast and just a great drive. Similar milage to yours too.

Glad to see you adding the fuel in the costs now.
