Sadly, premium cars nowadays, paticularly BMW's and Audi's, usually end up with people who want the image but don't want to pay the maintenance!

Can’t believe you appraised and valued a car without seeing it 😅

He knew when to come in just before closing - sneaky....

Any car that comes in with ditch finders on there needs taking a closer look at. If they cut corners on tyres and they are the only thing keeping you in a straight line, they’ll bodge everything else. Looks like the typical can just about afford a half decent car, but couldn’t afford the maintenance.

What about the washer cover on the bumper 😂 what a heap. Jason needs a talking too, not his money pissing away.

I remember you saying previously all px's are now be checked before making an offer - Jason chasing a sale 🤣 Interestingly, quite a few dealers in my area are now telling buyers to take their px's to WBAC or similar. I suspect they want them to break the bad news of their px trade value.

Hi Joe, just watching that roof go down scared the life out of me, so much to go wrong. 😮😮😮

Great video and content. love the front headlight washer not going back into place. Would make a project car for someone.

Ouch! That bloke deffo knew exactly what to do.

A mate of mine who sold cars for many years people would come in do a deal, and agree on the price they would return to pick up their new car bring in their present motor, having changed the tyres and removed various things.

Place I worked at, you'd hand the customers keys to managment for appraisal, he'd come back with a figure, he'd check it out while you were doing the test drive with the customer, how cars are these days having a quick walkaround with glasses guide and giving a price have gone.

Water ingress on those. Sits in the sills on both rear sides. Easy to fix. Go under each rear sill and remove rubber plugs to drain. Basically water sits in and if left will overflow into the car. I agree though out to trade.

The high pressure fuel pump is driven by the timing chain, which is at the back of the engine, realistically it is engine out to replace it and when you're in there the chain must be replaced, you could easily spend 600 to 1000quid depending on where the parts are bought....

Good call to move it on. It's my experience those roofs tend to leak quite badly as they get older - and none on the roof specialist will touch them. A retail nightmare in the making...

You're definitely not UK based, its always sunny where you are! 😂great content.

That customer knew exactly what he was doing, I have looked at a car without my car previously, had an estimated value and left a refundable deposit so that both parties can pull out of the deal does not suit when the p/x is valued. Unfortunately its a always a risk when taking in p/x, even your mechanic would not have picked up on the fuel rail issue from a drive. SOP in place to get all p/x driven by a mechanic is the way forward but how will that work on sats.

Poor guy, just as he's picked himself up he's been knocked down again. Seems a genuine chap too

These are not worth selling the N47 engine timing chain problems can appear at any time and then its a huge bill, no way you can tell when its going to fail and its an engine out repair. Auction = sensible way of avoiding future pain. Love your updates sorry zero interest in looking at Insta please keep updates coming on here as well.

you dishing out quality content with ease these days! big team behind you or just a genius at work?

It ain't an M Sport - it is an SE - you can tell by the seats and the front grill.

I love the M3 at the end. All the best.

The M3 is gorgeous Joe Thanks 🎉❤😊

The complexity of modern cars frightens me.

It's not an msport model.

Ideal… ditch finders on the rear wheels of a BMW 🤦🏼‍♂️

All it needs is a buff and some new plates, surely?

I remember this the whole situation was a bit “slippery” how he came after hours so you didn’t plug the obd eleven in & maybe do the checks you normally would. Put it in the auction. Bangin out the content like no other!

It's S.E. specification going by the seats and chrome roof trims.

Another great video Joe.. Why does Jason go for that popped collar look?? It doesn't look cool for a bloke knocking 60..😅😅😅

Your mechanic should have checked the fuel rail pressure in the live data on a test drive, It could have been a simple fuel rail pressure sensor. OBD11 don't do Mercedes, disappointing.

cheer up big fella!! Good days bad days but I think youre doing better than you think you are!!!

If it smells damp in the boot I would remove the trim where the battery is and check if there is any water in there. Can cause lots of issues

That old is certainly smart bit of kit ,love a gadget

Looks a lovely car Joe🎉😊

Great vid again, hope you do one on the Jaguar xkr

You surely have another diesel BMW in so just swap out the injectors and you can test them your self ⚠️

That BMW isn't an MSport! Its got SE seats. And its an E93, not an E90!

you can take glowplugs out turn engine over if injector diesel will spray out head if it sprays you will know which injector bad

So the fuel injectors were never checked or replaced That's going to be an expensive fix for the new owner.

Great presentation and well presented.

Lovely car, once they hit over 100,000 things start to go wrong and peeps chuck them in as they don’t wanna spend on them. Good video ❤ :-)

Some unscrupulous dealer will just clear the engine management light and sell it as a good car, hoping that customers do not do a full and proper test drive. So easily to be caught out if you are buying cars like this

Sellers are getting wise Joe be on guard everyone is an enemy, no nice guys anymore

At least you are honest, I would buy a car from you!

Joe any 120000 mile BMW is a pretty scary purchase but with it being a dirty diesel best get rid 😉.

Rubbish tyres on a car like that are a sign of running an expensive car on a shoestring.

Only the seller knows what he really intended, but it could be that he knew how to play you, which is a disadvantage of being online.

Not that anyone here is interested but we have the same car, same interior, same white colour but fitted with the 3ltr 6 cylinder petrol engine. It's been with us for 7 years and it's never put a foot wrong. It's a car which is aging very gracefully and somehow still looks the part. Shifting Metal is like a meat grinder for this sort of car but to us private people we see them as a whole lot more. It's such a pity to see these cars slip down the order and become just things to trade on... but I suppose there's no avoiding it.

I’m amazed that you assume everyone trading in a car, especially an old shitter like that, is getting rid of it because they just fancy a change, most people don’t change cars until the old one starts costing them big money, or they get a warning that big expenditure is coming. Unless you’re putting trade-ins straight to auction, where cosmetic condition/appearance is the most important factor, you need to assume anything you get offered is going to have issues and price accordingly…

Evening Fella, is this not a case of people buying devices to clear codes etc before they turn up at yours then doing the same when they come to collect what they bought?

Id be looking at a dodgy map causing the fuel pressure issue. Maybe its demanding too much fuel that it can't supply.

Hi Joe. I think this Car wasn't checked properly because the Seller was upgrading to a better BMW while trading in a BMW. I'm not sure, but it is worth looking into, Joe. 😢. This Car would be perfect for me over here in Ireland, lol. And it drives nicely. It's not the end of the World. 👌. I love the new haircut, mate lol. Jesus, that BCA Auction is a massive place. I bet this BMW, gets a decent price. Anyway, Joe, great video as always my friend. 💯👌👍🥰 🇮🇪

I don't think you have been ripped off, in this market a prestige convertible for less than £3K? You know it is going to have issues...big hairy expensive issues. I'm not the punter btw, or his dad!😁 A/C working is usually a hint the owner hasn't run it on a shoestring. Might have been worth saving.

what a great car that m3 trust me my son has just bought one and he is a bmw tech in sytner the e92 will go up.

Watch all your stuff really good, and drive past your place every day,, as I live in burnham!!! Ps you still got that Vauxhall antara ,, all wheel drive ???? Only two !!! Cheers and keep going strong !!!!

Great vid👌🏻

I don't know how people have the brass neck to part ex a motor with known faults. I couldn't do it as I have morals and a conscience

its SE model not a m sport wheels a replicas and dont slam a boot lid it has sowft closing system mate

E93

A car with the factory wheels painted black is a huge red flag. 🚩 wouldn’t touch one at any price.

Still very sought after models being the LCi. Suspension shocks/struts on e92/93 is hard. Some folk can’t acclimatise to “the firm ride”. Worse with run-flats, especially Bridgestone Potenza RTF OEM tyres. Should’ve had air filter. As airflow measurements and fuel pressures are compared as part of the parameters checked on the fault code generated. Also exhaust pressure before and after turbo and DPF. A lot can be learned by watch live data whilst car driven. I’m sure it’ll be a good project for someone as prices have dropped heavy but not those with n57 engine though. May even be a qood breaker at the price it owes. Happy days… easy come! 🫣 That’s enough dribble from me, lm away to sleep currently the middle of the night for me.

Good on you man

Black wheels , ditch finders on the back and a stringfellow interior . 3 red flags

it's an SE isn't it not an msport

Not easy and limited time to check car over, ok a mistake, but lesson learnt.

Unless I am doing something wrong the discount code is not valid.

if it was me and he brought it in and i saw the damage i would of said it's worth £2000. So if you don't accept it the deal is off the table. Then i know he would accept it or be back the next day.

Is it worth have a cheap ultrasonic bath for £70 just to throw 4 injectors in for 15mins for any cars where it's a suspect issue? Use hot water with a squeeze of fairy liquid for a cheap fluid.

Yeahhh,there's one little thing I forgot to mention... I hit a dear,mangling the bonnet and grill😮, oh and it doesn't like you putting your foot down 😮

Never trust a dealer that buys there cars from auctions, cars are sold at auctions because they have faults.

Great vid as usual Joe & Toby

Joe, love you to bits and love your channel but your sales manager is pants! Arthur Daley in jeans is not a good impression.

Shame as it looks a nice one. Great video

I got old bmw 2006 plate for scrap money but im happy to enter bmw market cheap with 520d m47 good old school motoring

When they never turned up with the car at the beginning to do the part exchange it should have been a big red flag.

Interesting content

Those seats look like SE seats not m sport

Don’t think its an M Sport..

Say hello and wave goodbye...😮😅

It’s not a hard fix , just a fuel pressure valve ,the guy who part ex it is the mug ,if actually took the time to work it out he would have spent less ,now he has spent more buying another car which would have had a good mark up .lol

Btw it’s not OBD eleven it’s (ii Roman numerals) = OBD2. There has never been OBD 3-10. 😅

When looking at motors to buy, if its got budget tyres on or mismatched tyres on an axle, I pay it a lot more attention as it generally means its not been maintained properly and dodgy.

It’s an SE not an M-Sport, the wheels have been swapped.

"Sometimes the best deals you make are the ones you don't."

Maybe u should of asked if anyone of ur followers woukd of wanted to buy it as trade Joe ? I would of been interested as of many others I think would of . Anyway another great video mate .

Your totally right about checking p exs out more, I'm reluctant to take any, as you end up with all your profit in basically something that's scrap, customers coming to small pitches will have swoppers full of issues, unfortunately for you it's your money and not your salesmans, I'd only give scrap for a swopper without fully checking it out, giving 2 to 2.5k is a lot for something full of faults and damage.

You do sound a little bitter on the BM

You should be sponsoerd by Pepsi lol

I'll take it I'll swap you a pug 107 MD63OYG 49k miles

Am not on Insta. You can’t leave us hanging, needs a part 2 or a KZfaq shorts update when sold 🫡

Take it slow on p exs, long test drive, scan, mechanic checking it out, you might be a pinta to customers, but better to be safe.

AS a BMW Diagnostic tech of over 40 years , It would scare me buying that , the amount of faults that will be in that car would scare me . Your sales guy should have his wages deducted . That rail pressure fault will take some finding .

Wasn’t an M-sport was it? more like SE

Obdeleven doesn’t seem to cover Range Rover sport ???

My e91 was the biggest pile of steaming ****. Any BMW over 100K should be avoided like the plague.

White body with black wheels, classy. lol.

Your asking for trouble with some of these car choices.

How much did it sell for

BMW JUNKS 😂😂😂😂😂
