Treat your BMW well & it'll return the favor.

The ultimate maintenance machine

This is why I work on my bmw myself. I've saved thousands

friends: "no problems with it" me: "...yet.."

Still the ultimate driving machine. All cars need repairs… just take ultimate care of it.

Every car has its set of issues, most cars are boring to drive, but once you drive a bmw, well kinda don't wanna drive anything else lower...sorry, I work on my own shit, and keep my money in my pocket...quit listening to fear mongers

Your so anti-Bmw, but u drive a Jaguar which it's reliable is worse. I don't see u harping on them!! Maybe u should just talk about make u own and let's see how interesting this conversation becomes!

It is the ultimate driving machine, as long as you don't drive it...

You just named everything i went through with all my bmws, lol. I still love them

You’re like if Greg Doucette became a car guy instead of a body builder lmao (Edit) now that I think of it, you’re like if Scotty Kilmer and Greg Doucette had a kid 😭🤣😂.

That is reliable for BMW...ULTIMATE DRAINING MACHINE

Nobody is calling a 4cylinder bmw the ultimate driving machine - at least I hope not. The newer (and cooler) bmws are very reliable. BMW is now ranked 3rd in reliability, much due to their B58 and S58 motors that are being put it the M2 M3 M4 and all the 40is. Regardless, if you want to drive a reliable camry thats 100% totally fine, but the people who buy unreliable cars, buy them because its worth it. Mclarens spend half the year in the shop

My 2 friends and I had 5 series and we had absolutely no problems with it except for a thermostat valve. While the Audi A6 was a total nightmare!

Ahh typical bmw haters 🤣🤣🤣 dont buy what your can’t keep up with 🤷🏻‍♂️ simple.. BMW isn’t for everyone

I’ve had my 2013 328i for 9 years and have had no issues at all except the thermostat was changed for free under a recall. 88k miles so far. No leaks of any kind, no timing chain issue, no other coolant system problems, no brake problems. Only oil changes, tires, batteries, brake fluid flush per maintenance schedule. I do change the oil more frequently than BMW recommends, but that’s it. Haven’t even replaced brake pads yet.

Got a 2013 328i. Brought it at 100,000 miles. No problems at all. Just regular oil change every 5k miles. Did my timing chain right away. Im at 130,000 miles now and no problem. I guess im one of the lucky ones.

I have a 2006 330i with over 200k miles on it and it runs perfectly! I haven't done much more maintenance than you'd have to do on a Honda of that age and mileage. (I've owned several Hondas.) Just take care of it! I also have a 2011 535i and every time I drive it I can't believe how fortunate I am too drive such a fun vehicle! Marvelous automobiles! But I'm grateful for all the people talking crap about BMW because it keeps the used car prices way down! Thank you!!!

June will be 13 years I’ve had my 08 328i. Routine maintenance and some issues that crop up with any car that has 200k plus. She’s been very reliable.

N55s are stupid reliable. My 535i is hitting the 240k mile mark soon and she still drives amazing and sounds amazing ❤️

It is the Ultimate Driving Machine. Once you test drive it you Immediately know, there aren't many vehicle's on the road like this. Worth every penny of Maintenance ❤ my BMW.

Bro rly said an oxygen sensor is $600💀

If you’re buying a German car and you and you need to ask how much it will cost to maintain you can’t afford it

😂🤣😅 BMW stands for Break My Wallet 😂🤣😅

This may sound heavy handed, but they’re actually reliable. I had a 2014 328i lux, drove nearly 60k miles in one year and had no issues. Car is rock solid. Just check any auction or lot they have well over 100k on them. I have 134k on mine now, original timing chain, no leaks. Just a tune up, brakes, and turbo actuator, and front control arms. Not a big deal at all!

I’ve had 9 BMWs over 22 years. Only one had a mechanical issue.

My wife and I just bought our 3rd BMW. The first two were pretty reliable requiring only oil changes, brakes, and tires. The first one we kept till 93k miles.

I own a 2012 528i. All I do is change the oil and brake fluid every year or so. Works great. No leaks at all.

My X6 2016 M 7 years going strong so far its perfect no problem at all

Had a 2015 bmw 528i Xdrive. I had 0 problems honestly. Owned for 5 years

😂😂😂 The only thing that doesn't break on a BMW is the ENGINE LIGHT 😂😂😅

It’s part of BMWs weight saving regime; empty your wallet and lose weight through stress

BMW also has by far the best service, and warranty claims are a breeze, plus they give you a BMW off the lot when your car is getting serviced, not some rental from some trash company. Don’t buy anything these days out of warranty

My 2009 BMW 5 series had the water pump go at 70k miles. That's the only problem I had to fix that costed over 1k.

Have my G30 for 5 years now and STILL no problems. Oil and filters change, chain changed on 150000km,water pump at same time. Made over 245000 kilometers with it and now waiting to get brand new G60. Before had Alfa Romeo Giulia from 2015 and I can recommend it to ALL of you who have wish to have car workshop at home..

This type of stuff only happens when the car isn’t kept up with regular maintenance from day 1

BMW fanboys in a nutshell. ItS jUsT rEgUlAr MaInTeNanCe BrO

My 2001 E38 728i with 300,000km still going strong (been daily driver for 2 years)

Person that bought a used 4 cylinder turbo 228i here. I'm very upfront with people about how much I've spent on maintenance. Valve cover gasket leak, vacuum line, plus new brake pads and rotors (carbon ceramic brakes need both at the same time) were absolutely not cheap. The staggered tires won't be cheap to replace either, and it drinks premium fuel faster than I thought it would. Fortunately my car is a 2015 so it doesn't have timing chain issues, and the previous owner (my dad) properly maintained it. I've spent more on maintenance and operation than any other car. If it wasn't a convertible with amazing handling, I would have gotten something like a Honda or Toyota. It's just too fun to drive.

I bought mine in 2019 brand new with 9 miles on the clock 4 years down the line it’s done 80 thousand miles and still running like I just bought it never had a problem and i never had to do anything to it just amazing car

Special ordered BMW 2020 X5 here. Still new but drove it in at least 17 countries in Europe on two major road trips. No issues other than routine maintenance so far. My 2005 BMW R1150 GSA did great the decade I rode it all over North America solo. A lot depends upon when you buy it. My 1982 BMW 530 was strong in 2002 but I did have to change tje timing belt once.

I owned 3 BMWS and 2 Camrys and I learned that the German engineering is you have to do and follow the all manufacture requirements like doing certain maintenance at certain mileage or replace certain part at certain time no matter how expensive it is you have to do all that no matter how expensive it is unlike Japanese engineering it’s designed to benefit the public and how the car still runs in it’s worst conditions ever because you might not be close to home or a repair shop near … but the ride and the performance in bmw is a lot better than Toyota by a lot but of course everything comes with a price .

Mines been good to me. I’ve treated it well. I do all my maintenance on time. If you do it yourself it’s super cheap. A lot of mods and fast with a splash of luxury. E93 🤗

Honestly it’s the way people drive it

My dad had 2002 530i since 2008. Never once did it have ANY problems. Nothing, everything works fine in the car.

Bro you named typical problems with ANY car. Dude literally named the problems that every car has over time 😂😂 come on man don’t hate on BMW

The secret is to look at the maintenance history of the car then purchase and find a mechanic that’s really good with bmws I never had a problem from one of two 07 335s or 2011 335 at all but one of my 07 335s

Honestly BMWs suck cause of previous owner buy a brand new one and you wont have any issues if your up on maintenance

I have the 2014 4 cylinder turbo... Haven't had to replace anything but brakes and oil 🤷🏼‍♂️

literally just take care of your car -_- i've had my 06 325i for around 7 years now, not one single major issue other than doing the basic maintenance that every car needs

I have a 2008 x5 with 209k on the clock only issue is a slight valve cover leak and a possible transfer case actuator motor which I cannot afford to fix….. other than that…..she runs beautifully

Here in Ireland I have over 112k km on my 2018 F20 118d and I've literally only changed oil, filters, and 2 sets of tyres. All maintenance done at the dealer. My first(!) brake pad replacement is due in 14k km - it does have the bigger "blue" brakes on it and they are more expensive to replace, but they did last a long time. I know that 112k km is not like an uber high mileage, but still I expected something to break, but nothing has broken so far, fingers crossed.

BMW=Bring My Wallet 💰🛠️

Well BMW's don't have to be so expensive if you maintain it yourself... Workshop repairs can add up quickly...

It's because people drive them hard like a race car.

I've found that if you do above average mileage and are sensitive to every single issue the car displays and take it to the dealer to fix under warranty then you're well set for the future years when the car exits its warranty period.

It's a maintenance magnet and they don't even hold value like a Mercedes so what's the point😢

That’s why real enthusiasts opt for the older gens like the e30, e36, and e46. Nobody want a 4 cylinder turbo bmw bro. My e46 has been reliable as hell and I do minimal maintenance. I just change shit when I feel like it. Hasn’t let me down yet. Just a fuel pump one time but I was like 2 blocks from my house 😅

just showed this video to a cousin who loves and owns a BMW and he got mad 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love your videos

But what car won't have any problems? they would never make the perfect car that never breaks..no money in that 😂

I have always liked BMWs but the maintenance cost deterred me from buying one.

BMW wanted to charge me over $7,000 to replace my turbos and for a tune-up on my 2009 335i I fixed my problem by getting a 2015 Camry 😂

Top 3 in reliability for 2023 models

You are not rich if you drive a bmw you are rich if you maintain a bmw. N52 engine for the win. Besides hydralic lifter tick my favorite engine

I LOVE BMW But this gentleman understands why I no longer own them. With all the other challenges in life I've had I just couldn't deal with the yearly maintenance costs anymore while leaving room for the rest of my life grow.

Summarized in a single word, "UnReLiAbLe"

100% accurate. My e46 has cost me an entire used car worth of repairs over a few years 🤦🏻‍♂️

But it is the ultimate driving machine!

as long as the B58 is the greatest engine of today, nobody should be talking bad about BMWs reliability. It ranks higher than Merc and Audi

Two words: MONEY PIT!💰💵💰💵

Of course if u buy over 200k mileage

My 2014, 428I Cab XDrive just hit 140,000KM. Driving it for 10 years. No problems at all. That’s my baby 🖤

If anyone thinks this video is an exaggeration, I can confirm that it is not. BMWs are so fun to drive, but you gotta be prepared for the maintenance!

You lost me at reliable 4 cylinder turbo

I have a 2019 320d sedan and I never had a problem with it

My 2016 318d has only had 1 problem since I’ve had it, and that was the EGR. 110000 miles going strong

BMW - Bill More Wages.

Just backed out of a ‘18 328d…over 100k km’s with no service records on car fax.

What sort of maintenance did you do on it: *Well I had to replace the whole car very reliable car*

old BMWs were like that but new BMWs are pretty reliable

Burn My Wallet

I have a friend who just traded his BMW for a Japanese car because it was just too expensive to maintain.

It is my opinion that german cars are nice and can be somewhat reliable if you can afford to thro $ 5000 a year at it and maybe more

Basic maintenance you have to do on any car

I am a bummer guy but it’s true. If you just take care of the engine it’s super reliable but….all those so mentioned are true preventative maintenance cost lol

I drove only one time bmw I love it it’s amazing car

I feel like the worst your experience with your own X5, the harsher your BMW comments have become over time. The newer generation of 4 and 6 cylinder BMW’s are fairly reliable if maintained. Don’t buy a V8.

if you do the maintenance on a BMW at the time the Germans intended you to, then you won’t have any problems. I have an 02 E46 w the M54, it has been maintained well, taken to a BMW service every year since it was bought and it never had any issues like what you’ve just said, Americans just can’t comprehend that you have to take care of something for it to last

Had a 2013 328i with the n20 engine, 178k miles. Only got rid of it because I hit a deer going 85, still made it to work after I hit the deer. Only ever did oil changes and spark plugs at 100k in its lifetime🤷‍♂️ they definitely have flaws but all car companies do

Every part u said, any car could of have that problem. Parts tbh can be cheap look around and do the work your self. BMW is ultimate driving machine

Yea thats why my 2018 430i has a jd power reliability rating of 4/5 which is more than can be said for other luxury cars.... 70k miles still nothing but regular maintenance lol

I have an x6 2016 and my friend has a 2015 x5 and no issues with 300k km and 150k km. No issues at all. Planning on keeping mine for another 10 years. The inline 6 paired with zf 8 transmission makes it bulletproof. My wife’s 2011 lx570 had more problems than my x6. I thought it would be the other way around 😂

Thank you for the transparency because I was really thinking about buying one

King of Depreciation my friend. You just wait, I'm telling you there is going to be a SERIOUS case of buyer's remorse in 3-4 years time on that new Supra.

I have 2014 428 no problems at all my belt popped once easy fix engine light has never turned on

There is no greater thrill than driving a BMW

He just exaggerated ...... most of the things mentioned are pretty much same for every car and you gotta change them anyway. - It's only a periodic maintenance that is required that's all !

BMW stand for "But Manufactured Wrong". 😅

Not here in Germany, or in Europe in general. Bit also, they are a bit better build, so it also be a factor

I had a e46 for 7 years... literally it Broke My Wallet 🤣

I really don’t get this. I have never ever heard anyone have any problem with a BMW. Is this an American thing? I have a 2015 1 series. It’s not old ofc but never had any problem with it whatsoever. Not like British or American cars…………
