The video begins with a thank you to Car Vertical, a sponsor for six years, which helps used car buyers check a vehicle's history, mileage accuracy, previous owners, and accident history. Users can access the service through a link in the bio, entering either the chassis number (recommended for non-French imports) or license plate for French cars.

The main subject of the video is a BMW M5 F90 Competition, brought by a guest named Clem. The car is originally 625 horsepower and is currently in Stage 2 with decat downpipes, making it a "total package." Alex, another guest, notes that this particular M5 is less commonly seen, especially in Switzerland, where chrome-heavy "Swiss spec" cars are more popular. Clem, however, preferred a "full black" look. The car features ceramic brakes, which Clem praises as an excellent option, and Manhart exhaust tips.
Clem explains that when he bought the car, it was completely stock. He modified the rear lights, which he wasn't a fan of, and highlights an unusual characteristic: the exterior is a "phase one" (first iteration) while the interior is "phase two," featuring a phase two dashboard, despite being a 2020 model. This suggests it might be a pre-LCI (Life Cycle Impulse) model, a transitional period for BMWs.
Further aesthetic modifications include repainting the rims black, lowering the car, adding a front splitter, and yellowing the headlights. Clem notes that the yellow headlights are a nod to older BMWs, a modification he always wanted to do. The front splitter, however, has cracked multiple times and he plans to repaint it black for uniformity.
Under the hood, Clem reveals significant work. The engine was completely forged by NLM in Switzerland after it broke. This extensive modification was followed by a Stage 2 remap from USS Performance, done by Elvire. Although the car hasn't been dyno-tested since the modifications, Clem estimates it produces around 870 horsepower based on cross-checks, with torque likely approaching 1000 Nm. This power output is attributed to the Stage 2 tune, decat, and the M5's inherent capacity for significant gains from such modifications.
The discussion shifts to the M5 generation. Clem expresses a preference for the F10 M5, considering it a "true BMW" along with the F80 M3 and F82 M4. While acknowledging the F90 is a "true BMW," he finds it overly technological with too many cameras and options compared to older models. He notes that the F10, despite its age, has "aged well" and, once common issues are resolved, becomes a reliable and powerful car that is now relatively affordable, costing around 60-70,000 Swiss francs.
Clem is thanked for bringing interesting cars from Switzerland, acting as a "bridge" between France and Switzerland for the channel. He also mentions his own YouTube channel, "Clem Spot," and Instagram "Clem NLZ," noting the challenges of content creation on current platforms due to stricter guidelines compared to 2018.
During a test drive, Clem, who is 21, expresses a slight regret about choosing the M5 over another M4 (F80), which he previously owned. He feels the M5 is more suited for someone older with a family, while the M4 was more "incredible" for his age. However, given the significant investment in forging the engine and the Stage 2 tune for the M5, he plans to enjoy it for a while.
The car runs on 98 octane fuel, with no multimap option. Clem mentions that E85 ethanol is not widely available or is more expensive in Switzerland, often requiring trips to France. He prefers not to deal with the hassle, as he's not primarily seeking extreme performance.
Looking ahead, Clem is considering a two-door car, possibly a Porsche or even an Audi R8, but he fears being disappointed by the R8 after experiencing the M5's power. He's ruled out Mercedes C63S, having tried them and preferring BMW's driving dynamics, despite appreciating the E43's interior.
The drive includes an acceleration test, where the car's immense power and smooth, continuous pull are evident. The ceramic brakes are also put to the test, bringing the car to a surprisingly quick stop. This aggressive driving style triggers a Volvo's pre-safe system, leading to humorous comments about the other driver's reaction.
Clem, who is Albanian, also shares a bit about his background, mentioning how growing up in Switzerland with many Albanian and Kosovar friends led him to learn some of their language. He also comments on the strict driving laws in Switzerland, which force enthusiasts to seek out more open roads in other countries like Italy or France to truly experience their cars' capabilities.
The video concludes with a humorous exchange about the driving experience, the triggered Volvo, and Alex’s fear for his safety, before thanking the viewers and promising another video soon.
