Any video with Johnny is such a joy. A true professional who loves the brand but just shakes his head at what it’s become….

Is it just me or has the production value suddenly increased? The camera work and editing is fantastic! You’re doing amazing Tyler, never give up! You seem so much happier in this video

This edit may be technically better than your ‘usual’ but I love your’usual’ style of videos Hoovie. I get a sense that you are a real person and that you are talking to us whereas I don’t get that feeling from the fancy style of videos. I will always support you though because you are the best!

Great content as usual but an obviously different production strategy. Don't go overboard Tyler. Part of the charm of the "Garage" is the format.

This felt like a whole tv episode! I’m a BMW tech and I recently had to do some injectors on an E70 X5M (same generation) and this whole car is an absolute nightmare. Only 88k miles and every plastic in the entire engine bay cracked and shattered and doing injectors on this thing takes hours upon hours. The worst part is that as soon as it’s fixed, it’ll just break again some other way next week. Good luck with the repairs on this car!

I appreciate the increased production quality on this video, but it feels less hoovie than normal. I don’t know where the sweet spot is but one of my favorite things about your videos is the silliness and casual style! Excited to see where you take this though 😄

I'm happy to see Tyler look happier. Johnny seemed to take it easier on him too. Bad situations bring out the best in people. ❤

Johnny really is a man of so much knowledge, watching him never is a dull moment.

I liked the higher production quality but I do miss the more pov style from before. It gave the sense we were experiencing what Tyler was along with him and not simply watching from the outside. I think a good medium could be reached, but great so far!

I bet this car will clean up really nicely. Take off all those stickers, the plasti-dip on the wheels and give it some clear coat and it will look like new again. I personally like the styling, despite it being a little impractical as an SUV.

I love that there are ‘Johnny’s’ out there for us. Clearly he is why his shop and channel are so amazing. Good people, doing good work, create good/great results.

Hoovie, I haven't missed a video since you bought your land cruiser all those years ago. I never comment on KZfaq. However, I just want you to know your content is the perfect balance between hilarity and "hooptie education". I respect where you started and the effort that goes into the content you now create. You are a natural Tyler. Keep up the good work!

I’m definitely 50/50 on the improved production quality. I liked the POV style, all it needed was an up to date camera and the colour pumped up a bit.

I'll add my voice to it, yeah this felt strangely more like a Car Ninja video. Not a bad thing of course just helps show how professional he is, where as with The Wizard it feels like two old friends and one of them is a professional mechanic that knows tons about fixing hoopties.

That was fun. I was tired of way too many Lambos. Affordable cars can be fun too. But no, I don't want one of these. But a lot can still be learned. Be sure to give us an update! Thanks Tyler.

As long as hoovie is purchasing these crappy bimmers, i don't have to watch horror movies. Thanks! The new cameraman/cutter does a nice job. I love the ninja, he's an absolute pro, and has a great sense of humour.

Hoovie seems to be in a really good mood. That's nice to see. Daddy Doug surely helped out, great pal for sure

"You cannot even put a bag over it" - Car Ninja I'm dying XD

Hoovie, thank you for continuing to produce awesome content while you’re handling almost insurmountable non-media related issues. I’ve been watching your videos for a few years and they reliably put a much needed smile on my face. Thanks for being you Tyler!

My dad owns a dealership. Multiple times we’ve found things disconnected for no apparent reason and he realized other dealers are disconnecting things under the hood to make it run like junk/ have issues to try to get a better deal on it at the auction. We have probably seen it on atleast 20 cars

Hoovie, you can't spell "dumbest automotive channel in all of KZfaq" without "best automotive channel in all of KZfaq". Thanks for making it! P.S. of all of the truly bad cars you've bought, this is one of spectacular. I salute you.

If anyone can make a BMW right again, it’s the Ninja! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out and at what overall cost.

Just met Tyler at Barrett Jackson today. He took the time to take a picture with my 9 year old son. He was very friendly and cool. Made our day. Thanks Tyler. And thanks to your producer for introducing us.

Thank you Hoovie for highlighting and exposing the truth about these late model BMW’s unreliability and common problems. I can’t say the same for earlier bimmers 85-90’ish

I just noticed the more cinematic look of this video compared to old ones. I dont want to sound negative, but there is something really neat about the guerrilla stile point and shoot Hoovie used to do. I dont like this new more polished look as much

Cheers Hoovie, hope life is treating you well.

Damn Hoovie... I like the change in the production values.. the additional B-roll and the rundown of the trouble codes was really well done, with the muted tone, and professional demeanor. I was not so much a fan of the "I do stooped stuff" gimmick, but this is really nice.

Really appreciate the effort in putting more into the production value for the video but something about you holding a go pro for filming made it feel more raw and real and is what added more Hoovieness to the videos. Much love Hoovie

Production value is getting up! Nice. But when he is going over the faulty parts, I miss that GoPro point of view. Brill shots don't show as well what is wrong.

It's really amazing the amount of problems a bad PCV valve can cause. The increased pressure will push oil out of any seal it can and look like a complete mess to fix.

It’s always refreshing to see the car ninja look at these high dollar German cars. Most other mechanics would complain about how complicated everything is, but the ninja really understands these inside and out

Johnny is always such an understated but never underestimated true professional.

Johnny looks like he's just trying to be nice. Good friend!

Classic Hoovie with a Ninja twist. Thanks for the collaboration!

Your usual video format felt genuine and relatable almost. This new format feels cheap and makes me eye-roll every time. Please don't CarTrek-ify your usual videos.

I have a series 5 525d, bought it when it came out on 2006 and 16 years later and with almost 400.000km, never had any engine issue, just the typical oil change, breaks, tires, filter, the stuff that wears in every single car and never ever had to fix/replace my engine. Is sad to see that good engines from BMW breaks after few thousand miles if you dont maintain it well like older m3 or m4..

I've driven one of these, the newer body one. They are a fun driving experience to be honest. Its cool to be tall and fast. I cant imagine the lifestyle of somone that would roach one of these though.

Much better production quality! Still some wrinkles to work out but this was a huge improvement. Can't wait to see what the future holds for Hoovies!

The X6 looks like it started transforming from a sedan into an SUV then halfway thru just said “Fuck It” 😂

I personally like the old filming style more, I love to watch from a POV standpoint instead of just watching two people talk in the distance

I love the shape of the car, I would totally drive it!

Bit over produced, prefer the GoPro, no music style 👍🏻

Video quality feels more like a TV show rather than a vlog 👍👍

There's something so comforting about the ninja. He's a true master of his craft.

A sucker... Opps, I mean BMW buyer is born every minute. Unfortunately, a BMW dies every 2 seconds.

I love the format of Car Ninja videos. And filming with Hoovie made this one of his best videos! Loved it!

Hi Tyler. Love that you are experimenting with production value and having a camera person really is a great addition. The editing still needs a bit of work imho. I would advise against cutting from the conversation for b roll or j cuts in conversation. Especially coming from from your lofi genuine content, it's quite jarring. I of course understand it'd early days and finding a feel takes a little bit of time. Looking forward to see where you take this.

Good news! The increased production values have increased engagement! Bad news, I'm posting because I'm joining the folks in the comments who miss the original, more endearing style of video, but also support you and hope the best for whatever is going on in your private life. Viva hoopties, viva Hoovie!

Looks like you tapped the Ninja's film crew for this one! Major props to them for the assistance if they popped in!

The panning shots make it feel like a cheap tv-show..

I feel like I'm watching a show on the History Channel with the boomer-esque country rock music playing in the background. The higher production quality is nice other than that bit.

Ninja is never happy. He is SUPER happy. We should be more like Ninja.

I would really like to see him to do a big rebuild on this x6 , it would bring back the magic to the channel , thats what we are all here for from the begining . Go Tyler 😁💪

I relate with how shocked Hoovie is by the fact that his BMW isn't completely mechanically totalled.

Uh oh, Tyler hired a new filmer and editor! Can't get too high class on us.

Great vid! Only tuned back in recently, glad to see Tyler doing well and seemingly, happier. Ninja has come on so much since I last watched, far more comfortable in front of the camera, top bloke! His knowledge is vast and impressive.

Gone are the days of Hoovie making videos with his Fisher Price PXL2000. Now the production quality has increased, to say, ummm, Wheeler Dealers circa 2012. Job Done!

The good news is Hoovie has made a lot of good friends along the way. At least he has them now in this hard time for him. #theboys 🍻

When Johnny opened the hood with the engine running all I could think of was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

It felt like I was watching a TV show. The production quality is great!

Ooooo nice camera work and editing. We love you Hoovie!!!

WOAH. A major step up in production there Hoovie! Great work, what an inspiration!

So nice to get an extra video of the Car Ninja! He doesn't put out enough content for us viewers! And his personality is starting to show a little bit, not so camera shy.

poor Johnny....that 4th wall look after "you always want full extension"....hilarious!!

With Johnny's experience I would be extremely interested in hearing his opinions on the later versions of the N63/S63 V8 and whether the revisions that they made increased the reliability of the engine.

No need for a camera man. We love you just the way you are!

Yoh, the more professional editing and camera work caught me off guard. Its different and alot of people are hating on it but they are just scared of evolution. Its still 100% Hoovie and I am definitely open to seeing more of it!

Immediately just from the intro alone you can tell the Ninja is happy to see you in spite of you bringing that POS to his garage! LMAO

Not quite the reaction I was expecting from Car Ninja - guess it isn't quite as rough as I envisioned it. 😊 And I don't think he hates it as much as he says - he looks absolutely eager to dive right into this one.

not the background music 💀

Dear Hoovies Garage, 1. Greeting from Singapore. I own one of these BMWs since brand new unit in Singapore . Ya, my unit is a 2011 model year, E71, with S63 V8 engine and it is still going strong with me. Mileage is 80K KM now. I m still the first owner. Cost to own at 2011 is SGD500K (USD 360K) Yes, Singapore car ownership is the second highest in the World. 2. Your video commentary is very subjective to the X6M and indeed biased. On the contrary, I m here to give you my side of my happy ownership experience. I m having a wonderful motoring experience with this Super SUV since day 1. 3. The trick to keep this S63 engine healthy is to change oil n filter often. My definition of often is less than 5K KM. I only used Mobil1 ESP 0w-40 and with no other additive. It is a C3 type engine oil. Never use engine flush too. 4. Weather in Singapore is mostly 30C-35C all year round. 5. You Mechanic inside this video also said all those problems items are not expensive to fix. 6. Just replaced all you PCV valves. A must for all BMW engines after 50K-60K Km. This is a very cheap item to replace. 7. I changed all my vacuum hoses ( complete) . These are not expensive items too. 8. I changed my oil filter housing too. S$ 65 only 9. Do not worry about your non AGM battery. Each AGM battery weight around 30-36Kg. I would recommend use a Lithium battery only weight 5.7 Kg with 950 CCA . So much lighter and full charged takes about 10 mins on the road. You dun have to worry anymore about the electric fan keep running for 10 mins after a spirited driving when the engine is being switched off. No more low batt volt for this car anymore and bye bye to heavy weight penalty AGM battery . Cost for Lithium battis S$300 . Now may be even cheaper. ( Rate: 1 USD = 1.39 SGD). In USD term, it is around 216 USD. Very affordable. 10. My X6M original color was like in the Video. Color code called Melbourne Red. After its 10 years of life, I changed to an Alpine White 3M PPC wrap. It costs SGD 3.5K to do this job. Your poor paint work was due to negligence and poor ownership. Small issue too. After the wrap, I used Carpro coating on top of the wrap and all the wheels. 11. The rear ride height control ballon leaks was also a simple replacement. It cost less than 400 with original parts.. If you can do it yourself, it is even cheaper . 12. ATF, ATF filter and rear diff oils all must replaced every 30K KM with only BMW factory oils. Again, they are not expensive . 13. At 65K KM, I did several preventive maintenance to this monster. A new set of BMW spark plugs and set of 8 Original coils changed. Head cover gasket ( no OEM items) and oil sump gasket replaced. All PCV valves and vacuum hoses out with brand new one. 14. At 65K KM, front and rear suspension stopper; upper and lower rubber mounting ; anti roll bar linkage all replaced. Both rear wheel sensors replaced. 15. I also upgraded my original BMW 20” factory wheels to the one piece light weight 20”forge wheels. The weight saving on each wheel is about 7kg(front) to 9 Kg (back). Can you imagine how much unsprung weight has removed? 16. Like your mechanic said, this is the cheapest BMW to fix. I fully agreed with his statement. This S63 engine is the Power House BMW. BMW built many war planes for Germany to fight in WWII with Great Britain in the air. This was the base engine in those 80 years ago. This S63 is powerfully majestic and bullet proof. It must be taken good care when you have high demand from the engine output. 17. When I drive to Penang, Malaysia, I am doing about 220-270Km/h in a long stretch on the highway. This is a fly machine on the land. No wonder most Royal families in Malaysia owned X6 or X6M. 18. Tyres are Michelin 4S front and rear is PS4 only ( I want back not to be too sticky) 19. At year 11, BMW Munich factory wrote to me and changed for me 2 new air bags for FOC. Because I intended to keep this car for at least another 25-30 years. 20. BTW, my engine is original untouched . Even the air filter element is from factory. 21. My final advise is : without this kind of simple maintenance knowledge , please do not buy M’s car or Mercedes AMGs. You are asking for troubles. BTW, I am not a mechanic . My day job is in the financial community. 22. Warmest Regards. .

Too much production love the hand held raw videos which makes it feel real

I really liked the look of these, not sure why, but I always have.

The quality of the production on this video is noticeably improved! Nice work, love it.

I don't know if I just haven't been paying attention, but the video quality is awesome on this video! Looks like a TV show.

Even when John is utterly repulsed he still sounds optimistic lol.

I feel like this change in production quality is a hint at whatever is Hoovie's next chapter, that he still hasn't told us about, but that's okay. Probably NDAs and contracts and things. I hope anyway.

Ooh... I like the new and improved camera work! Still feels Hoovie-ish, just don't lose too much of the silliness. And for me, the cheesy music can go... I'm excited to see whats next for Hoovies Garage.

5:35 this BMW is like dating a mermaids 🧜‍♀️ hahahahaha 😅

Look out, it's chapter two.

Car Ninja totally missed Hoovie's full extension joke @ 11:10. 😅😅😅

I actually prefer the lower production value of your previous videos. The old way feels more authentic. Now it feels kinda like a TV show.

I hope the Ninja can make this mess less messy.

I really appreciate more content from the dumbest automotive channel during this difficult time Hoovie! Keep up the great work!!!

I didn’t notice the increased production quality until I read the comments. I guess I liked it because I’m still here. Love the videos and great to see all the problems with these hoopies!

This is on a whole new level with production quality. Looks like car trek.

Love hoovies videos! I do prefer the lower production videos...just saying, save the cash.

I don’t know why but I think it’s Beautiful! If it had all its power it would be Awesome! Waxed up and nice exhaust note would be Really Cool!!!

The production quality on this video is FANFCKINTASTIC

i hate the new “tv look” direction hoovies going.

Please bury this one Tyler.

You seem happier and missing a particular piece of jewelry. I know it did wonders for me! Wish you the best!

Miss the first camera view! That’s what makes your page real and unique !

Guessing you're using ninja's business partner for the better footage/editing. I remember Velocity Garage being similar production quality. I hope this is a new partnership between you guys because it feels like a HUGE upgrade. Reminds me a lot of Leno's garage.

I have to say I definitely think way better production value when Hoovie has someone manning the camera, try to keep this style of videos coming. We love you hoovie wishing you happiness sorry you’re going thru some tough times. Things will get better stay 💪🏽

There are quite a bit of issues with these? “We’ll..yeah” (NINJA) 😂😂😂😂

Love ya Hoovie, but this format doesn't even work for Jay Leno's Garage, the episodes produced to be like TV shows are never as good as the ones he does by himself without all the slick production. I'll watch you no matter what because you're the best, but I think the reason we all moved here from TV is because that format felt tired to begin with. Just my two cents.

Now that's what you always want to hear from your mechanic (and hopefully it's from Jonny) when you take a "piece of work" in to get fixed. I'm actually "extending" well wishes for you on this one, Tyler.

This one definitely has the Velocity Garage feel to it. Very "Car Ninja" channel style. I dig it, guy does a great job.

"You always want full extension.. " 🤣🤣🤣 Very true Hoovie.. Very true. LOL
