BMW E60 M5 vs F10 Reliability Issues - Consumer Review

In today's video, we're going to talk about the BMW E60 M5 vs. the BMW F10 M5 and we're going to talk about specific reliability issues. These are consistent problems and issues owners are finding with these cars. The BMW F10 M5 reliability issues are sometimes similar to the BMW E60 M5 reliability issues, but that all depends.

First up, I do a comparison of oil consumption on the F10 M5 to the E60 M5. Both of these cars can be known to consume a lot of oil. Upwards of a quart per 1000 miles. The BMW E60 M5 oil consumption can be just as bad, and most of this is related to how the car was broken in.

The BMW F10 M5 has an overheating issue related to the electric water pump. They can fail and then drive your F10 into a number of overheating issues. The BMW E60 M5 doesn't seem to have this issue as often.

The BMW F10 M5 has a DTM failure, or a drivetrain failure issue. Often times this is as a result of hard driving and inadequate fuel injector support for the horsepower requirements. Again, the E60 doesn't have this DTM failure code, though it does have idle and throttle actuator error codes.

The F10 DCT Transmission vs the E60 SMG III transmission can be quite the debate. The BMW DCT vs SMG can be often broken down by calling the DCT agressive while the SMG can be known as sluggish (unless you use better settings). Either way, there are a few issues where owners feel that the DCT can be too aggressive in the higher settings.

Both the BMW E60 M5 and the BMW F10 M5 have a mechanical issue related to rattling. Sometimes these come from the VANOS. If oil starts to leak as well, this can produce rattling in these cars' engines.

There's also an issue where the F10 M5 rattles. These issues have been attributed to hard driving that's worn out some of the softer, stickier tires just a little bit. This issue can still occur after a number of realignments and other work.

All in all, the two cars compare pretty similarly. The F10 M5 reliability and the E60 M5 reliability are often the same because the two cars are very similar.
