My 2006 BMW E60 M5 (S85 V10) just failed a leak-down/compression test—no compression on cylinder 7 and barely any on 6. So I asked Grok AI (Unhinged Mode) whether I should rebuild this glorious disaster or ditch it for a Tesla. We talk V10 magic (500 hp, 8,000 rpm), the not-so-magic maintenance, SMG vs manual vibes, rebuild costs, and whether an EV can replace the E60’s chaos and soul.

What you’ll see

E60 M5 love/hate: the V10 highs, the ownership lows

Diagnostics: leak-down results, likely causes (valves, head gasket, rings, rod bearings)

Real costs: rebuild vs replacement engine (ballpark $10k–$30k)

Tesla comparison: speed, reliability, running costs, and “soul factor”

Grok AI’s unfiltered verdict + my plan going forward

Question for you:
Would you rebuild the S85 or switch to a Tesla?
