One spark plug
The S85 needs ten of them. Every coffee fires one cylinder.
The dream garage
Help me park a V10 in my garage
I built Bimmer Garage out of love for one car: the BMW M5 E60 with its 5.0-litre, 8,250 rpm V10. I don't own one yet. With your help, I want to buy one, bring it back to perfect health and share every step with you here.

A few words from me
Why this car means so much
The first time I heard an E60 M5 pass by, I stopped walking. That sound, a V10 climbing all the way to 8,250 rpm, stayed with me. Since that day I have watched every video, read every forum thread and learned every weak spot of this car by heart.
Every guide on this site, every line of code behind the 3D car, every late night spent on it, comes from that one feeling. Bimmer Garage is my way of living the dream before I can touch it.
I know it is “just a car” for many people. For me it is the car I have wanted for years, and the one I promise to look after properly: the rod bearings, the throttle actuators, everything done right, and shared here so every owner can learn from it.
If this site has ever helped you, made you smile or made you turn the volume up for the V10, a coffee would mean more to me than I can say. Every single one brings the day I turn the key a little closer, and when that day comes, you will be there with me.
Thank you, from the heart.The person behind Bimmer Garage
Buy me a coffeeBuild it with me
Every coffee buys a real part
Pick a part of the car you want to put your name on. All of it goes into the M5 fund.
A litre of 10W-60
The V10 drinks it. Almost 10 litres per oil change, one litre at a time.
Fresh angel eyes
Bright halo rings so the M5 is recognised before you hear it.
One rod bearing
The famous E60 job. Ten bearings make the engine safe for years.
A throttle actuator
Two of them keep the 507 hp coming without limp mode.
Fuel for the first drive
Any amount. The first full throttle run is for all of you.
The road to the V10
