For those of you wondering, the record was broken in a Mercedes a few years later. However, the M5 was the first to break the original 23 year old record. The car is the focus of the videos, not the record itself :)

So hard to outdo Larry on so many levels. Usually, I just sit in awe.

Damn, don't think that's been that clean since it rolled out the showroom! It was awesome to see it all dirtied up with the stickers as that was the car's character, but equally feels nice to see it's had a well earned glow up.

Man what a dream to be able to work on that car!

You do a really good job of incorporating the story of detailing. (If that makes sense). The steps in the process are good information but the passion you have for the job and the ability to tell a story make your videos really enjoyable to watch. Thank you Larry.

i absolutely love you work but word of advice from a window Tinter. when using a razor blade on the windows never drag it back and forth. always lift on the back stroke. that will prevent potential scratches

I like how you always emphasize that the best way to do something is the one that works best for you. Sick of mechanics telling me that one way is the ONLY way if you want it to be "done right".

This is awesome. I can't wait to get my E39 M5 detailed. It's been sitting for over a year under a cover, but the paint and interior are still in good condition. This got me really excited. Great work, Larry.

This was an awesome video!! This poor poor car is finally getting the love it really really deserves. Thank you Larry!

What a relief 😅 Watching Alex with his M5 going all over the world for years, finally the stickers are off and the M5 got the love it deserves. Great Job 👍🏽

One of the most famous M5s. Such a great color and story!

Legendary car. I always appreciate your attention to detail. I know it might seem silly but I think if you had a running timer for the amount of time you spent from start to finish the viewers would appreciate it (me included). It would give a sense of scope for how much time is actually spent to do this.

I haven't watched the video yet but I already know it's gonna be the most satisfying thing I've ever seen

Always a pleasure watching you detail can grab popcorn and just watch for hours! 🙏

Never have I been so excited about a KZread video. This car is a legend !

two words to describe Larry DETAIL GOD thank you for taking the time to help and educate and help us all become better detailers .

Ohhh Larry, what should i say? It's a HUGE pleasure to watch this and see my wheel detailing stand - together with my dream car of that time! As always a great video! Like the way you take us through the single steps, fantastic turnaround of Alex' amazing and "abused" M5. Honestly: That car needs its stickers back! :D Glossboss Wheeldetailer: These stands are NOT for sale - so please don't contact my detailing friends from Glossboss or me in this case ;) I build these for a couple of friends to improve my (still bad) welding works - and to simplify their / my detailing hobby. Maybe i'll write a blog how you could easily build one at home. First version was made of wood with 3 rollers, watch the my Porsche green Audi S6 in the Blog. Larry and Jim (White Details, UK) got one of those as a little "thank you" for these great videos and time they offer to create them.

I helped jump start this car in the underground car park in Paris (and a few others) at the start of the 2004 Gumball rally. There was a quite a few frantic people including Alex panicking they could not start their cars due to flat batteries. Very interesting to see all these wealthy people either not own a set of jump leads or have the cheapest/crappiest set you can buy. Luckily we had a proper set of leads with us!

Heard stories about this car, glad to see it's still around being used and driven!

10/10 video by Larry and Make Rain productions. Besides the awesome detailing, the camera work, production, and sound quality was 100% perfect.

This car means so much to a generation of BMW enthusiasts from the era (Late 2000's). I am glad Larry got the opportunity to detail it. I would love to see the seats restored with Leatherique rejuvenator as cracked BMW leather seems to react very nice to it.

Nice work. I always loved that E39! One of the best BMW's ever made.

I just watched this video and I just came from outside and that hot towel method worked great!! First time the decal was a bit stiff, second time I dipped it back in hot water and was coming off more, third time the razor blade just slid through underneath. And this sticker was stuck on there for years!!!! Thanks!!!!

You missed a spot! Wow, the detail you put into everything is amazing, especially in your teaching, amazing

I love these channels restoring cars either mechanical issue or just paint and interior....

It's funny how this car held up the amazing documentary 32 Hours 7 Minutes for what seemed like years, but made it that much more incredible to watch.

"Autobahnpolizeijäger" does make sense though. "München" is a noun and does not make sense here. "Münchner", an adejctive, with a space between the "Münchner" and the "Autobahnpolizeijäger" would mean "Munich Highway patrol hunter".

Very well done. It's always so satisfying to see a Beautiful vehicle restored👌👍💯.

As a german viewer the stickers on this legend are just hilarious. Awesome work on the car.

Thank you for this. I love this car, Alex is an interesting character that's the bimmer that turned me into a fanboy. Loved and watched every moment of its gumball recordings.

I'm glad I saw it with the stickers while they were on. That being said, it's still THE M5 and looks damn good. Nice work.

I wouldn't choose alcohol as a screen cleaner, but it IS a main ingredient of eyeglass and optical lense equipment cleaning pads and some sprays. I've used those on delicate coated screens and optics for decades.

I'm not going to check all 580 comments to see if I'm duplicating anything but I have a few ideas for future detailing exploits: 1. Hand/body oils- use Mother's VLR and a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser 2. Using an ODBII Memory saver you can disconnect the battery terminal, and work around the electronics with a little more peace of mind. The memory saver retains the on board computer memory. 3. Use detailing detailing gel inside the vents, cracks and hard to reach areas; especially around the electronics All that being said, I absolutely love your content and delivery!

Absolutely love your videos, I’m not a detailer but certainly like to keep my 2 cars clean and in tip top condition, more attention paid to my 2001 Audi TT. Your content is really inspiring and certainly helped me with a couple of tips. 👍

Awesome Work ! Completely cleaned and prepared. Really nice ! Thanks for posting.

Watching this man work on all these cars is satisfying

Those little rubber 3M wheels are awesome! Used them to remove adhesive residue on a bunch of trucks and never had a problem with scratching, but you can heat the panel up real quick. It'll also make old foam tape turn into napalm that'll stick to you and burn so be careful.

Nice work guys, never actually seen one of those running before. Keep it up! :)

This car is so iconic for me! When I was growing up watching the gumball, bull runs, mischiefs, super speeders, fast and the furious, etc! This was the prime of the prime entertainment! Now I'm much older in 2019 reflecting back to those days! Literally, the automotive culture has been ingrained in my DNA since I was a kid. Playing NFS in the 2000s. Watching content for so long! Seeing this video just like brought me back to such a simple time in my life. Since I'm 24 now with such a serious outlook on my life and a Real Estate career. It just makes me feel some type of way reflecting on my childhood. I guess that's why I find so much happiness being around this community to this day!

I am slightly older at 28 but can relate with you on the feelings of joy and happiness that this car brings back. Car culture has matured significantly since then but the nostalgia and memories of those simpler times will be embedded in me forever. I remember when Alex published his record-breaking book back in October 2008 and how the BMW forums I frequented exploded.

I remember when I first read the book about Roy's quest to beat the record, which was how I first heard of Richard Rawlings. I can only imagine the fun times that this car has seen.

I'm amazed the paint on that car even survived all the years of madness Alex Roy put it through, nice to see its still on the road.

As someone that routinely removes old decals off retired fleet vehicles at work, this is very helpful

hello, great job ! that said then I allow myself a piece of advice, to recover the aspect of the rim bolts, I advise you to try to put the head of the screws upwards and not downwards, the product will have contact on the head visible at the outside (in your video the head has almost no contact with the head of the screw because it is in contact with the container). my humble opinion :)

10/10 on the video as always

Larry I’m very glad to see you’re wearing a mask for your safety and I hope this will set a good example in the detailing community for guys and girls that work with these products every day.

This car is just the boss. Gonna go rewatch some old Gumball runs through Rome now kthxbai!

Years ago, the company I worked for purchases a Mitsubishi Eclipse that had raced in the Targa Newfoundland from Mitsubishi Canada. The car was covered in sponsor stickers and graphics. We had our own plan for the car, so they needed to come off. Some of the really old adhesive wouldn’t dissolve with alcohol, Goo Gone, Windex it even lighter fluid (oh yeah, tried it!). A friend who does custom graphic wraps suggested a product called Rapid Remover. Totally amazing. Wiped off the glue like it was dust. Well worth checking out should the need arise again.
