Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Had one, loved it.
Now, reliability and operating expenses? Ok, imagine dating one of the Kardashians.
Now imagine that she's developed a raging coke habit.
Still the best sounding sedan ever to me, I want to get one and keep it for good, one of my dream cars.
If I followed advice on what car I shouldn't get I wouldn't have owned half of my cars and wouldn't have enjoyed my time nearly as much. And here I am, spent around 20% more on my cars in the last five years than if I just drove a Golf instead
So CarMax warranty only then?
There was another "legendary" BMW E60.
The Alpina BMW B5.
With 493hp perhaps a little lower on HP (different engine, 4.4L V8), but it had supercharging and it had tremendous torque (700Nm).

Everyone knows about the infamous rod bearings, but nobody ever talks about all of the footwell module issues that plague all BMWs of this era. Low battery voltage causes the EEPROM/Flash chip corruption due to the microcontroller having extremely poor brownout detection.
Some people need to stop hating on the doug score, it’s called the Doug Score for a reason, not the u/xxxxxxxx6969420’s score. I find it entertaining at least
Come on Doug, thirty five to forty thousand dollars? A used E60 M5 motor can be had for $10k all day every day.
I'm still sad Doug didn't review my car like we talked about a couple years ago. Obviously it wasn't going to happen after he moved to CA (I'm in NC) but I wish it had worked out when he was on the east coast.
Doug is the type of guy to make December the best month of the year
