“If a car payment prevents you from saving, investing, moving out of your parents house maybe or even taking the risk to change jobs. You don’t own that car, the car owns you” best quote lol

I agree on not getting a new car. Cars lose their values the most the first 5 years. So 5 years is the sweet spot 👀

Gold tip: never buy a car from a tuner

Scooped up my e90 330i for $6800. Best car I've ever had :)

Lots of wisdom in this video. I’m an older retired guy. I agree with everything Justin said. I was able to retire at 58. Follow his advice. Never buy a new car. Depreciation sucks. I recently bought a used e89. I do almost all my own maintenance but I still had the best BMW Indy around do a pre-purchase inspection. Cost $125. He gave a good written report and I’m using that report as a list for preventative maintenance I’m doing now.

My best friend just bought a half a truck . New . I'm still shaking my head at what he did.. spent 57000 on a 2019 chev Colorado. Payments are 650 a month . With 200 insurance . So 850 a month just to drive a half size truck . I told him let me buy you anything just give me a limit on what you want to spend. Nope . Went to the dealership . And the rest is history . Oh yea he also got the 8 year warnty. Fackk.. I'm still shaking my head .. good video man . Don't be like my friend everyone .

I was just getting ready to ask if you were a Dave Ramsey fan, and then you referenced him. Cash is king!

Great content Justin, Love watching your videos brotha! I own a 2007 328XI and it’s been quite a journey with this baby. I purchased it Jan 2017 with 99k miles, right at the 10 year mark, when everything started to fail LOL It’s a beautiful car with only 1 previous owner who had it serviced always at the dealership, but a few months into my purchase things unfortunately started happening lol I’ve done all repairs by DIY, because if not I would legit go broke lol As of now I’ve change the Starter, Control Arms, Strut Mounts, Battery, Bulbs, Valve Cover Gasket, Ac Hose Line, Alternator, and more lol Bought the car for 8k and over 10k into it now. If I sell it I will be lucky to get 7-8k back. For all my people out there, just do your due diligence before getting into something! Like the saying goes “ you can’t own a BMW and be in a relationship at the same time” 😂 My girlfriend hates my car, and for now I’m still in this love triangle haha

I think a good tangent to add on to your “research the car” point is look at mileage reliability and part/service cost. I’ve owned my 335i for 6 months and am now in debt because of failed parts.

Justin - another really nice video. I really must agree with the “Don’t buy any add-ons at the Dealership”. You’re right these things cost way too much. We were leasing my wife’s CLA250 a few years ago and they tried to sell us a $700 paint sealer/treatment. Now on a 3 year lease that made no sense at all as the paint would surely hold up and the extra cost would have been a total waste.

All facts. I made the mistake of buying too much car when I first got out of college (VW MKV GTI). The maintenance costs killed me 😅

Right on point Justin!!! You covered the most important!!

Bought my Acura TSX private, noting but the best car I’ve owned to date 👍🏽

Just bought a bmw 2002 for my first car and I got completely screwed over. Just brought it in to a shop and they said it will cost more to get roadworthy/smogged than what the car is worth. ALWAYS get a pre purchase inspection it’s worth every penny and also if you see any red flags like rushing the deal or anything RUN AWAY. Also I didn’t keep any extra money to fix it so that was a big mistake. Anyways I learned a lot and this video covers a lot of what I learned the hard way.

1 dislike from Bmw dealer

I haven’t watched the video yet these are my mistakes over the last few years (obviously now I fixed up, my current car is good). The most important one is checking the car over even if the car is $1000 just to get your shirt dirty and go underneath the car check for oil leaks check for signs of accident damage like in the boot the front bumper... see that the fenders lineup and also check all over and make sure the electronics work, do you know how much a simple window regulator can cost? Or do you know how much the AC can cost to fix? Meaning check this stuff. Also if you’re buying a car on finance add up all the figures.. even if it means wasting the dealers time ... be sure find out exactly how much the car is costing you too own..... you can’t trust most dealers they’ll add on their own markup you will never know they are very sleazy. If the car is of high value something like $4000 or more just pay a mechanic to check the car up trust me you’ll never regret it.

Justin, I've been following your channel for some time now and you are getting better at it every time. Keep up the great work. Your videos are a great help. Also, you mentioned the Water pump and I know it is common on BMW's to go bad sooner than later, have you had any issues with it?

my e46 was a lemon. bad trans, bad cooling system. i was just too happy and excited.

Your new home looks great ! Enjoy it guys !! Now, I bit off subject, I was planning on installing an armmotorsports intercooler . At first I thought that I had the solution on running my engine ( 2012 335i E93) a bit cooler. Of course I will be happy for the extra oomph and gas savings, but that is not the answer. I would like to know if there is any way that I could run the engine cooler. Take into consideration that I live in Miami, and is hot as hell !! BTW I'm running my Beemer on a set of Kumhos 225/40/18 on a set of Racing Dynamics wheels, I love the way they look. Thank for any info

Bought E46 ZHP w/manual (!) for 5700$ and I am a happy man!

For the heater part of this video be cautious with kerosene. It can produce a black smoke that's not visible to the eye and it will cause a black film on everything in your garage and cause you to get a headache from the fumes. I switched over to a propane heater for my garage for that reason

Justin, please your opinion on buying rebuilt title e9x. As they're dropping in value, what are the pros and cons of owning cars that have been declared "totaled". Thumbs up guys if you want such a video :)

Totally agree with you. But buying a new car is the biggest mistake for the lost of value soon as drive out of the dealer ship.

Dude I too am a Ramseyer Bremer driver you just went up on my like list lol

“Never buy an extended warranty”. That’s really important. New or used, don’t do it. I recently bought a Certified used car at a dealer. The warranty would have added a little to the monthly payments, but was still over $1K. When I declined, they offered a special discount. So the question in my mind was, how can they still make money on this AND cover repairs that may arise. It’s pure profit. The business manager at a dealer, not the salesperson, tries to sell you this. They employ high pressure tactics. When I said no, he had scripted responses that put me on the defensive. It was ridiculous. Scare tactics followed. I didn’t buy the warranty in the end, but it took me a few days to finalize that decision. Buying a car from a dealer, new or used, is still an awful experience. I’ve purchased and/or leased 12 new and 3 used over the past 33 years. I will say that with my local BMW dealer, things were straightforward and easy. Unfortunately I really can’t afford them anymore. I was buying much more than I should have been (see Justin’s video 😀). I agree with everything you said, but I would never buy a used or out of warranty BMW myself. Since your’s was new there have been many more tech add ons. Those cars are not designed to last at all. Plastic parts, specialized tools, and more. Honda, Toyota, and maybe a few others for me now.

Cars depreciate almost 30% in the first year. Thats why I complete agree with Justin regarding buying a brand new cars.

Farting in my car .......silent but deadly. Hahaha Whoa Justin said "Hell No" The house looks great bud. I like the Christmas 🌲 Tree. Where's the dog? Messing with ya! All the best Shaun of NYC ( Great video !!)

Amazing video! You are articulate, funny, and share great info! Keep it up!

I knew you’re a Dave Ramsey fan, love your videos. Can’t wait to buy my first bmw

You Should Sell Some Luts For Car People, Just Saying...

Awesome video! Great advice... And congrats on the new home! Looking forward to that video.. 👍🏽😁

From an age it is not good to trust any fart!!!! Accidents can happen 😁 Love your videos bro!

Very good video and helpful, saving up for a 2004 BMW E46 coupe...

Great, I just purchased a car. Couldn’t you post this video earlier lol?

Bought my e90 4 months ago, couple days ago got low tire pressure, took car in today & two of my rims are cracked. Whaaaaack AF considering I’ve already dumped $1000 into this car replacing the thermostat and spark plugs & coils. 4 months of ownership and almost $2,000 into the car, haha BMWs are great

Buying an e46 330xi with all fluids replaced for around $2000. Shock mounts are good and there’s no rust underneath. Anything to be concerned about. Thanks Jb!

I wish this video came out 2 weeks ago...I made the mistake of buying a Subaru without getting a pre-inspection first and I learned a tough lesson as a result. It needed more work than I had anticipated so I'm now trying to sell it for parts to recouperate some of my money. I'm definitely getting a pre-inspection for any future car purchases, it's 100% worth the couple hundred dollars in the long run.

I test drive a 98 camaro once, it wouldn’t steer...pro tip! Walk away. 😂

I got a 08 335i I was scared of the platform but you put my mind at ease she got 170k miles a bit high but all the major stuff just got done 20k miles ago rod bearing and all man thanks. Maybe fit in some new scrolly boys in and exhaust now that maintenance is done

Just read an article that something like 6 or 7 out of the 10 worst depreciating vehicles were BMWs (worst was Maserati!) - drives home the point that you don't want to buy a new car and take that kind of a hit on depreciation after you drive it off the dealer's lot. Remember: EVERYONE drives a used car! I like pre-ding'd cars as it is such a terrible feeling to take the first rock chip in the windshield or paint scratch when you haven't parked far enough away from the door to the mall!

5 CAR BUYING MISTAKES TO AVOID 1. Buying a car. 2. Buying a car. 3. Buying a car. 4. Buying a car. 5. Buying a car.

Spot on! Very good advice!

Looking for a E90 as my first car so thanks for the tips! I will be saving up to get one hopefully next year as I am soon graduating from high school and heading to college. Hoping to get a LCI 325i or 328i with a manual transmission and spend anywhere from $6500-$8000. I'm debating if I would rather spend more than 2 years from now saving up to buy outright or finance for 3 years with a $2500-$3500 down payment (if I get approved or get help by family) next year. Just don't feel comfortable losing 50% of my income immediately while being in college so that's why I'm considering the finance route. I think it will be a great first car to also hold onto for a long time (hence why I rather have a LCI). Any saying that will help me decide on my finance decision will be appreciated! Until then, I am going to rely on public transportation and keep on living where I live now instead of paying for a dorm.

To late, I bought it! Now I have to live with it and try to love it. 😳

Great video, a lot of good information!

Is carbon build up a big problem with BMWs? If so, how do you deal with that problem?

As soon as a new car drives off the lot, its value immediately plummets by up to 50%. My tip: Seek companies that repossess cars and buy from them, you will be shocked at some of the deals that you can get!

The Problem is that any car that I would buy will cost me about 200-300 € per month if my parents insure it as their 2. Car I work on a 450€basis ... If I would insure an opel corsa (2010) or a Toyota starlet (1998) myself it would cost 2.5k (per year) or more and that's just liability insurance If my mother insures a bmw e90 330d as 2. Car it would be 600 per year for liability insurance

Dude love ur channel. I just got a 330xi myself not as new as ur but it's a 2006.

Nothing wrong with buying a new car IMO. It just has to be the right car. Buying an unnecessarily expensive ass car is a waste of money, especially when you don’t need it. Personally I’m not a huge fan of used cars just because a good chunk of the used cars I’ve seen people I know but end up turning into a waste of money. I bought a new car because the used car I bought was a lemon to put in lightly. Basically fucked me over.

We buy new pay it off ASAP and I keep all paper work for anything ever done to it like oil changes and anything so if we ever decide to sell we have everything. But we keep our cars long term.

When are you dropping the Headlight restoration video fam??🤘🏻

Hey Justin, did you get a PPI on your e90 or f30? I’m buying a 2018 230i with 39k miles 1 owner and debating if PPI is necessary. Thanks!

The only reason to finance a car, is to pay it off fast to establish better credit.

Speaking of extended warranties, not everything is covered which is a total letdown for many owners

You should suspect of any car is too cheap 🤔

I bought a 2011 335i in perfect condition with 58k miles on it earlier this year. My advice to others would be 1. If the car doesn't have extensive service records yet those future repairs are about to fall on your lap. 2. Do a lot of research if its your first time buying a boosted engine, boost leaks complicate things quite a bit

Bruh! 149k n counting! Dope! Congrats

A 72 (6 YEAR) month note on a 3 year old car? That car will be almost 10 YEARS old when it's paid off. Something to consider.

Is there any difference in features of 325i and this one??

Got my e90 328i for 2000 and she runs perfect

Nice video.I like your honesty. And chilled background music which gives simple, easy vibe. But man that beard looks messy )))

lol with 30k you can buy a whole fleet of e90s. nice one!

Hello Justin. Im looking to buy a e90 330xd. What do you think about the x-drive since yours have it and should you avoid it and why?Thanks for a great chill video, and cheers from Denmark. :-)

Justin, please reply, I've never had a youtuber reply back to me, the video is still young, I feel as if you may still be around.

I need your advice justin My friend is selling me his 08 328i It has 188000 miles His mechanic has changed all the major parts that break at this millage. I already drove the car and it drives like really good. He wants 4000 for it? It would be the first bmw i buy but i feel i can work on it. Please any advice would be appreciated tnx !

Lmao 😂. Farting on leather seats is a must.

Do u think u will get a new bmw in the future

dude the house looks GREAT

Great video man, just curious, what do you do for work besides youtube?

bought my e90 335i for 6k and i love it

good vid. Im looking for a g37x coupe with 80-115k miles for around 11k

Hey Justin what would your approach be if it was a CPO Vehicle BMW or otherwise, would you still do a pre purchase inspection? Or just a test drive and maybe give all the electrics a good test- like windows, locks navigation screen etc?

Makes sense

I'm a home mechanic, have a e90 with 360k on the clock, 320d 2006 paid 500euro replaced the traction control rings on the drives cleared the lights and never looked back. Love your channel Peace from Ireland 🍀✌️

First mistake in car buying: buying a bmw with 90k miles with 3 previous owners. MAKING ME THE 4TH NOW I HAVE ALL THE PROBLEMS. Could have been a lemon car too hence the 3 previous owners. I fudged myself.

Congrats on the house 🏠 my man!

Awesome advise. I follow every one you mentioned. Never buy new Never buy a warranty Always buy a Toyota or Lexus & you'll have years of trouble free, low maintenance cost ownership👍

I got a 08 328i e90 for with 104k miles for 5k

Sup brow i think people who love bmw like me have a dressing style like u

At the 1:20 mark in the video, where was that footage taken ?

Brand new is for suckers. Let them pay the depreciation. My 435i cost 63k new. I got it for 33k at 3 years old!!! Cars are getting way too expensive!!!

That house is bigger than my hopes and dreams

Got my 2010 E90 328i w 129k miles for 5400

I got my 328XI 900$ repair it fro 1500

im that college student whos car owns him 🥺🥺 rip

I bought a car without inspection and turns out the origin owner crashed the car and fixed it without even telling me So dont repeat my mistake ..... dont buy a car

Привет. Осталось из запчастей что с 90

3:03 why the hell would this dude have an Apple TV remote in the centre console?

Ayer first

Honda tried to give me 23 hundred for my 2013 Optima and give me a 2019 accord sport with less power for nearly 400 a month (lease) I said hell no

What up Justin

How to film car vedio on a tight budget
