We are back!! We just recently hit 80,000 subscribers ❤️ HUGE thanks to everyone!!

I just learned some informative stuff. People will always try to get over, doing your due diligence is priceless. Be wise

Thanks for these videos!! I am in the market for a BMW M4 and these videos have been super helpful. KEEP IT UP!!

The most important thing to check especially on BMW F30 engines is a slack or loose timing chain. An easy way to accomplish this is to remove the oil filler cap when the engine is cold. Hopefully and if your finger(s) are long enough, stick one them it into the oil filler opening and feel around for the timing chain, once you've located the timing chain press down firmly on it and check and see if it is slack or loose. If the timing chain is moving around or loose, you can either walk away from the deal immediately or ask the seller for a much lower price taking into consideration your cost of a timing chain replacement service.

Beemer Fam uploaded💪 it’s a good day

you the man, thank you. very helpful video.

Great vid man really helped

Great video. I've owened 2 differnt CPO BMW a 2012 750LI, and an X5. good ecperience with both, having the extended warenty and amazing finiancing......1.9 for up to 60 months. Both on a term of 36 months. with nothing down. The only complaint was with the 750. A couple of the servos on the seat went busto, I was told by my non-bmw service center but expert level and honesty we were loooking a 5K for a replacment seat. I than took it to the dealership and they were super kind free loaner why they evluated the vehicle. Then I recieved a 8K quote for a full seat change comming diretly from Detuchland. Well gues what, the seat stil operates 70% back and foward are the two major issues. So if you not 6'2ish you cant drive me car. I'm goood with that. I live in Tejas so gotta love the simple pleaseure of climate controled seats. Try to buy 1 owner, take it to Autohaus if your in houston. Or no matter where your at you will find a German auto specailist and pay between 100-200 for a through inspection. And, this will your repair shop depending if you buy a CPO or not. CPO is the way to go. Blow the engine before 100k or whatever terms number is.

Good solid advice 👌

Check exhaust pipe ,it should be dirt free,running clean and get someone to start car and check for any type of smoke be it black or blue!

Great video mate !!!

I definitely needed to see this

Just got my first BMW thank you for the info

Good video thanks for making it. At the end you say to ''Check to see if there are any vibrations as you climb the revs'' but l thort that is a guaranteed way to STOP rattles and vibrations. My Bimmer sometimes wont start in damp weather and will shake and rattle a bit but if l rev it up it stops.

heading up to check out a 340i today. super helful vid!

My right ear really enjoyed this.

Great video I just bought my first m4 today

You can learn more looking under a car than on top. Also look under the hood the alignment of the body parts, oil leaks from and to the belly pan. Look down the side of the panels, paint scratches. Door alignment Etc. Check the transmission for shifting problems, or have a professional mechanic check it out..!! OBD is not always the answer, there are tricks around these things.

2 BMW's in now, a 320d and a 440i GC, Both no issues what so ever and cant wait to get my next. These things are built so well. By highlighting potential issues, all the bmw haters pipe up, but seem to forget that Audi, Merc etc etc ALL have 'potential' issues! Haters always gonna hate!

Great, thanks!!

Great video beemerfam

Very nice sounding Exhaust on that ride.

I had a lot of red flags when buying my first BMW my e39 540I M sport. The car was in a accident I found from the car fax, it also had the mileage flipped, the car claimed 141k when it actually had 230k miles. It had a bad oil leak from the 2nd oil pan gasket, and the power steering pump was going out but luckily I fixed the leak, and the pump and the car has been great ever since… maybe I just got luck 😁

GasBuddy you kw what time it is⛽! But appreciate the video, because yall actually been living with Big Beamers for a while, hard to know exactly what to look for exactly with German cars

Hey bro, bmwfan here. Long time subscriber. Question: would you help us locate a car? Thx keep it up boyz

hi ! i just got my 2014 f82 m4 this is a nice car i want to know what is your spec of the wheels? i know the oem spec is 9/ 10 x19 et 29/40 i want to change wheels to fit the fender

Hmmmm... would you recommend these checks for a CPO car purchased from a dealer?

Biggest misconception about BMW, unreliable. If you can’t afford maintenance then don’t buy it, simple. Until you’ve experienced they joy of out running a Porsche, Lamborghini and Ferrari in your beemer then owning one will never make sense

I’m looking to buy my first bmw. I found a 2011 328i for $2500. It was a theft recovery with broken headlights and taillights as well as bad fuel injectors. All the parts are cheap to get. Should I buy?

You should get BMW caps for the m4

Im trying to buy a M235i, but I really wanna get a good price, any advice on finding the perfect price ?

hey nice vid, ik you’re good with your bmw’s what’s your advice on me getting the 2017 540i, and what do you think the maintenance is going to be like?

I got red flags when I bought my first BMW, it's a 328i F30 and it had 110K miles on it, I needed a new crankshaft right off the bat and my brake caliper was seized, I took to a BMW shop and they fixed pretty much my whole top end for a solid price. Was my first time getting a car on my own so I learned a lot. The car is holding up extremely well I'm at 115K miles so far and no issues, and I have the N20 so I've been keeping an eye on the oil and timing chain, I had it checked so it's still good. (For now ahahaha)

Check the dtc's. The light is usually on. Bmers are known for this. Very temperamental. Usually because it's an ongoing issue with the car and became too costly to throw an endless amount money at it anymore.

Wish I had you with me right now I’m going to look at a bmw 3 series

Will i be fine with a 2016 bmw f10 535i it doesn’t have any accidents and it has under 70k miles

i am buy this 2011 bmw 328i everything is fine i went to run auto check on it and it came out code P1404 secondary air injection system .should i buy and fix it or

Check those solenoid's! Your getting a 7 series or something with Air suspensions? Make sure you have comprehendible warranty or at least get all of the shock and air supension components checked by a verified mechanic. Very expensive and sometimes it will be deemed as a total loss or lemon car if not properly examined.

Do a review on the 6 series v8 twin turbo. Those engines have a really bad rep on the engine reliability being bad

Yes there back new subscriber!

“Cars of this caliber” shows 3 series 😂😂

9:46 that Farting "Squarrel" Sound...LOL

I want to buy a BMW 3 series 328i xdrive, but the only problem is the maintenance costs, This car I've been searching has a minor damage in the front left. But I'm not sure if it has oil leaks, needs new oil, coolant, water pump, spark plugs, etc. I love BMW. I understand that it's not worth to buy that BMW even if its a fast and sporty vehicle.

On the rotors I rather check the width because if they got resufaced the edge lip will be removed. Also the rotors can be hot 🔥 and don't want to get burn.

They are called warning tracks on the tires - you want to look for uneven wear What about compression test for engine rings and gaskets? Get the car on a rack and check underneath and look at frame, swing arms, drive shaft etc. Pull the engine cover off to look at everything! Bottom line take to a dealership and they can for a few hundred or less tell you everything about this car!

Always check them CarFax yall. Always. I'm searching for my first major purchase and am aiming for a BMW 4 series, 2019-2021 model year. I wont even entertain any vehicle that has an accident or damage reported. Also the 'Curb Rash', I found a BEAUTIFUL 2021 BMW 330 with the Msport Package , had the V6 and almost every sport option added. The only issue was that it had some TERRIBLE Curb Rash on the rims, not to mention the Brake Rotors had a ton of surface rust layer over them. Turned me off.

This is an amazing video!! But your Carly code doesn't work anymore. Maybe they can make it a perpetual code - cause I discovered it thru this video and want you to get a cut!

I bought a 2011 bmw 328i from an auction for $1650 with 133k miles and I regret so many problems is it worth it ?

But Nick, I thought you were in the software business back in Yuma...

The ultimate driving machine is a fun ride until you have to take it in the shop and learn BMW stands for break my wallet.

That's why when i do decide to get a BMW. im going to bring someone that i trust that knows alot about BMW . To make sure i get a good deal and great condition.

if the seller uses a high density motor oil that will make the engine quieter and difficult to diagnose, how will I know if they have replaced the engine oil with a different engine oil that does not meet the manufacturer's recommendations? Does the test device detect engine oil errors?

If the BMW your looking at has Xdrive, it’s a very good idea to change its fluid because Bmw doesn’t really do it. And eventually it will not be so healthy and break

Cant i just get a pre purchase inspection instead of doing this myself?

3:33 Audi on license plate? hooly

1:59 the notches in the tread of the tyres highlight 1.6mm remaining. It wants to be substantially below the tread depth to say there plenty of life left.

I’m the 2nd owner and have the 2006 325i 4dr sedan

Is 2019 330i worth buying? Warranty is over that is only my concern..

my dad actually bought a used BMW 320i, after 2 months of using it, it broke town. He took it to a nearby garage, and they charged him 5,000 pounds and had it for almost 1 month before telling him that the engine had seized because of a broken oil filter and some metal fragments in the engine oil. They gave him back the full 5,000 pounds and this time he bought a brand new BMW 320d

make sure you have $10k reserve for the next 5 years for leaks, preventative maintenance and repairs. Stay away from cars primarily driven in FL or NY. Spend the extra bucks to do a PPI at a BMW dealership.

If they have the car warmed up for you when you get there run don't walk

What's "the coding"?

is bmw a good to buy

40 seconds of this video is about what matters ,the engine ,if your first buying a car this video is not for you,he talk only about exterior and interior .

People seem to think that more maintenance = unreliable. This is not true. BMWs need more maintenance because of the way they are engineered but if they are maintaned well and looked after with pride as they should be then they are excellent. The problem is when people buy them and dont look after them. You shouldnt buy a bmw and expect to just run it into the ground like say, a mazda or a toyota. Those japanese cars are extremely reliable with not alot of maintence because lets be honest, MOST of them are simply engineered and theres not alot that needs looking after. Bottom line is dont buy a BMW, audi, merc if youre not willing to maintain it the way it should be.

The ONLY check you should make is - how fat is your wallet! If you have enough money - go for whatever you like! I bought my E39 M5 in 2009 and still have it, so i speak from experience :)

I don’t buy cars that cant contain their own oil. I mean how hard is it for BMW to build a quality gaskets for a 50k car?

Eyeing on a 328i 2015, do advice

you were saying if the edge of the brake is flush do u mean smooth? i didn't get the term

I think best way is to pay a mechanic for one hour and bring him to see the car

Yea get that Audi plate frame outta here lol

THANK GOD YOU KNOW MANUAL! I can’t stand that they are dying in the US and Canada.. yet 80% of European cars still have manuals. 🤨😔😑

kinda crazy that i get this video after buying a 2009 328i

Hey, I was wondering, how would I check a 1990 BMW 5 series 535i Sedan? Its a bit older, has 240k miles, according to the seller. What would I need to look out for in a car like this?

Only BMW you should buy is a brand new one under warranty or one under 30k miles

Yo you spelled Bimmer wrong in your channel name

I bought mine off my sister. She has really looked after it.

Seems like normal check for any used car, nothing here is bmw specific

do i have to do all this even from a bmw dealer? lol

6 checks or 5 checks?

Atta biy

Carfax is not always accurate

So basically what to check when you buy a used car……

Talk about the maintenance 385 to change one tire. 120 -130 oil change

Wait you bought this for 35K?!

Carfax can take up to two years to update an accident

That engine was not nice and quiet 😑 may have been normal but not quiet

This was so helpful holy shit

So I just bought a 2014 328i and it makes that rattle like noise. Is that really okay?

anyone else think it sounds little odd?

Bikes always ruin everything

Get a CPO used BMW and skip everything. Visual checks on a BMW mean NOTHING. You WILL need that extended CPO coverage! Don't be stupid.

They are beautiful cars but very unreliable.

yep!! learned alot... like this kid hasn't a clue ok! now we have electric steering!?! before hand we had power steering WTF, no prior to electric power steering we had hydraulic power steering.... both have failure points ok, then brake disks, you check for brake wear via feeling for a "lip" not a divot & yes all brake have this.... even older carbon disks, as they wear (only not as evident as per steel) all used oil will turn black, no matter what grade oil it is, or what car/engine its within.. so having "BLACK OIL" in the block/sump makes no difference.... the period of oil changes can effect the engine via wear.. & no it makes no difference if its a bmw of any model or a ford!! & bmw aren't the pinnacle of car brands now we move to external & internal carbon lacquer fade! this occurs with everything with lacquer, as its the thin layer of clear paint, we also have those bare carbon whereby the resin is the only coating on teh carbon... yes this ages with the exposure of UV light "sunlight" any good body shop should be able to rectify such with a light sand & applying a top clear coat.. scanning any engine doesn't identify the whole condition of the engine, ppl should know the basics with any type of car as its all applicable... not just car specific body lines overspray service history visual condition driving condition/experience checking for any leaks, faults.. squeaks & rattles etc uneven tyre wear, odd maintenance ie (one disk is new the other not.... WHY!?!) even braking bias ie the car doesn't pull either side under braking suspension.. smooth & subtle acceleration/idle the car is smooth, doesn't hesitate etc all these apply to any car, not just "daddies car!" or "daddies M bmw"

I usually do just one check, and that is not buy a used BMW.

you say to check the oil and show a clip of the dipstick. these dont have a dipstick! wtf man?

zero bmw info, thanks bud

⚠️JESUS CHRIST IS COMING SOON. BELIEVE IN HIM. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN⚠️

why is the sound quality so bad?

How about staying well away from BMW, they are not worth all the trouble !!!
