Doug is definitely more of a commentator then a serious reviewer.

Top Gear
Not only because of the kind of sloppy editing by Doug in this video (guess the jump cuts were inspired by the "nouvelle vague") this here is my favourite M5 review off all times, that really expresses the madness of this car.
Top Gear (the real one), 2 parts, sorry 4 the low quality on youtube, yes data can rot to... Part 1: Part 2: |

I agree. The issues with the S65 and S85 are way overblown. Considering shops are charging about the same amount to change the RBs as it would cost for a set of tires...just consider it a maintenance expense. I'm secretly hoping people keep verbally trashing this car, so I can pick up a sweet example for my collection in a few years, though I'm leaning towards a E63 right now over a E60.

What a glorious sound! One of the best sounding BMW's of all time.

His trademark review of the quirks and interior features of every car is indeed unique and entertaining, however I wish that the road test portions of his videos would be longer. Usually he spends > 2/3 of the video going through interior features, and the road test becomes kind of an after thought.

I don't mind Doug. It's entertaining to watch when you just want to not think about anything and need a break. I appreciate it more for the quirks and features, and even the driving feedback is somewhat useful because he's just tooling around on city streets. So it's more of what you'd feel driving a car daily or around town, versus out on the open road. It's a good review for what it is, and nothing more, nothing less.
My gripe with this one was the fact that he didn't really focus on the sound of the S85. It's what makes the car special, imo. Many cars are fast, and have 4 doors. None sound as exotic as the E60 M5. It's the only reason I want to add one to my garage. I love the S65 in my M3, love its responsiveness, and its noise too. But it's not F1 sounding like the S85. |

Stock.
I only removed the resonator and secondary cats. Wailed at high RPM. Didn't draw attention at low RPM.

Make fun of Doug as you wish, but he isn't wrong for the most part. The SMG is terrible, and the manual derates the power. It has the horrible bangle design (IMO of course). This car was created in a very dark period for cars in general, especially performance cars.

I just logged in and was pleasantly surprised to see a Doug DeMuro video on BimmerPost! I must admit I've fallen for his review style and have been watching MANY over the past months and learned a lot from them... a merger of two obsessions.

I don't usually post about our company's products, but our RVS Technology Triboceramic engine treatment helps with the rod bearing issue, and we have several happy S85 and S65 customers. Now avaliable at ECS Tuning as well
