It's zip tied near the cabin filter away from the engine. that was just a shot for a friend.
e90post is THE douchebag forum so I trolled the **** out of there with those guys. told them I was a 28 year old neurosurgeon..Im 100% sure this forum and the reputable bmw forums like bimmerfest would be smart enough to know that lack if possibility.. those guys actually believed it. 28 and a neurosurgeon..yeah.....
I still think the manual knob would be kind of funny, start it up and never shift, people would be thinking wtff?! I never did it though.. too weird.
I could understand me being seen as trolling here if I straight up asked e55 vs m5, but that wasn't my question. my question was more specific to the e55. which still has yet to be answered..
does it all come around 60-80k miles like the BMWs or is it every now and then, no matter the miles

I see my work as the MBWorld Poser Disposer is not complete. You are stopping me from the beach and my beer.

I can assure you it was by pure accident that i found him.
When i quoted his pic with the pathetic wiring job on the JB box, i saw the link with the photobucket acct with name Andyffer. So i just googled it, i was expeciting a FB page, a youtube page and maybe that's it. But i saw all the BS he spreads on the other forums. He had fooled ppl into believeing he was a neurosurgeon on the BMW forums.
Not only has he been called out on pretty much every BMW forum, but the people on the video games and guns forum called him out as well.
Well MBWorld Poser Disposer is going to hit up the beach for a beer after work. Tiring work this is......

You are so close... Don't ya wanna check it out? I'll be at the Pavillions Car Show in Scottsdale on Saturday night.
I've driven it to Tucson and then on to Sonoita... to Vegas and then to Durango. It runs down the road perfectly.
It has a clean AZ title in case u were wondering.... and I'm only gonna ask $16k cause i bought it right and that's where i think this car should start at while leaving some wiggle for the inevitablel negotiations.

way to give us college students a bad rep. OP (if you really are in college) hopefully one day you can work up enough respect to be able to go on to $90,000 car forums like this one and tell respectable owners that their cars are for girls. what threw it over the edge for me is when you first stated that guy only had a c32....get a job kid.

Im guessing you bought a year 2000? That's the ones with the oil consumption at the level yours was. MAFs go out often but ECU tunes bypass them anyways. Probably a good thing you went to the auto trans because the clutches are good for many tens of thousands of miles. I know a few people with E39 M5s so Im aware of the maintenance for the most part. ...
.... Some of these responses are like you are insulted and at the same time threatened by the question..
.... Some of these responses are like you are insulted and at the same time threatened by the question..
One of the things which also bothered me (and many other E39M5 owners)was loud and brittle VANOS, but that is another story...i dont even want to go there.
Lets just talk about clutch and MAF; Why do you think everyone (who not drive the car like grandmother, but like it was ment to be) swap to 850Csi clutch or aftermarket one? Because stock clutch is WEAK (remember-E39 540i share the same clutch then E39 M5-if that is not telling you enough, then i dont know...).
About MAFs: i wont argue with you about ECU tunes solving MAF problem, but it is just known fact that MAFs goes bad on monthly bases on E39 M5 (i guess, or better-i KNOW- oil in intake (because of oil consumption) plays a big role here).
Also brakes on E39 M5 are ****. We overheated them after 2 strong brakings from 100 to 40. And that is a fact. That is why big brake kits are so common on E39M5. Enough said?
About E55 being pig....For my opinion M5E39 is even BIGGER pig as far as cornering abilities...Just look at the patthetic positive camber on front axle (and even more pathetic negative on rear when car is just a little bit lowered) and it should be clear to you that front axle just CAN NOT grab enough in corners (that is the reason why most of E39 M5 owners put rear wheels on front axle to improve patheticaly bad grip of front axle but unfortunatly with not much luck). I dont even wont to mention tyre wear because of front positive camber and rear negative camber). Tyre on monthly basis (i can live with that with 500 rwhp, but not with weak 300). Also i can not stand at look of this camber (negative rear and positive front). Car just looks like someone made a mistake on front axle
One thing that also bother us is engine power. It is known fact that there are rear cases where S62 actualy produce 400 engine hp (cca 330 WHP). Most f them are arround 300 WHP, and some are even lower. Add that fact to heat soak problem (why do you think IATS relocation kit is so popular??) after 2 WOTs and you have 250 WHP car that is EASILY bitten by 300 engine HP E32 750i (not even to mention old E36 M3 with 286 engine HP). Imagine that? Daily beaten by 100 hp (and 200 NM) weaker engined cars? Just a shame.
Should i go on or do you get it?
So in the end, yeah, you are wright, i was "insulted and at the same time threatened by the question" which one is better car... Jesus
And before answering to me dont forget that i speak from first hand experience (i own(ed) both of the cars for long enough time to have clear picture and on top of that i know thing or two about cars. So dont listen to biased E39M5 owners and dont listen to internet theoretics, but instead go and test try both of the cars and you will also get clear picture very soon, beleave me.

O'mother****in'P, you actually made me write advice for you and wasted my time. Why didn't you tell us you were a troll in the first post? By the way the anims up there symbolize what I'm feeling towards you.

Why would/did BMW overrate their E39 M5? That's pretty damn bad. I'm glad then they're not doing it anymore and didn't overrate their E60 M5...
