Just to let everybody know: the fuel systems on these are fine (N57 engine this). The only reason they fail so often (or atleast it seems that they do) is because people that drive BMWs are too cheap and put 10£ of fuel each time and sometimes even let it run dry. This is how you introduce a bunch of air and heat into the fuel system and destroy the high pressure fuel pump. Then it sends shavings throughout the whole system. You then need to replace: high pressure fuel pump, all injectors, clean all the lines, clean the fuel tank. It's a massive job. So please, DO NOT LET IT RUN DRY. Same applies to 2 litre N47 engines too. Just fill it with fuel when it's on 1/5 of the tank. Don't wait.

Watching Matts videos you notice a strange relationship between people and cars. The newer more expensive cars seem to be looked after whereas the cheap slightly older ones are run into the ground. Then when both of these types become really old everyone loves them and no expense will be spared to keep it at its best like Matts SL.

Hi Matt - great video as always. When you mentioned the non-folding mirrors, I did wonder whether you were simply travelling too fast for them to fold. After all, trying to fold your mirrors at say, 30 mph, would be a safety issue surely? Scrolling down through the comments afterwards it seems I was right and that if you had Goggled it, you'd have found the info you needed. A lesson for the future, no doubt. Also, if your mechanic watches your videos, which he possibly does, perhaps he is feeling suitably embarrassed at his charge for 'fixing' the mirrors?

The new graphics showing your costs breakdown was a nice touch Matt. Also, the sensible decision to opt for the blind removal should help the Profit and Loss account being in the black at the end of the financial year. Would be interesting to know how much the Beamer retailed for new in 2010.
@davideselvi3906 11 ай бұрын
I don't know exactly what the price actually was in pounds when new! But I can assure you it was in between the 5 and the 7 series! So, basically, expensive! Although the exterior is awkward (matter of fact it's kind of a marmite car; you either hate it or love it) it's a clever car because with less money than a 7 series, you have an unconventional car which gives you a bigger interior space than a 5 series F10/11, a better practicality, the same amount of legroom in the back as in the 7 series and the same headroom as in the X5! All of this, on the second hand market........ At a WAAAAAAAAAY lower price than an X5, X6 or SUVs in general

I used to hate the BMW GT range (3er, 5er and 6er) but have recently come to like them. They do offer a brilliant amount of versatile for the money, even if the early versions are quite visually challenging; although by the LCI 3 GT and 6 GT they do like quite cool in my opinion! Also, they offered such strange engine/ gearbox combos; you could have a 550i (V8) GT, and a 335i Manual GT. You've got to wonder what the market for such cars was!
@chetanrajanwal 11 ай бұрын
335i gt manual? Maybe for a towing market? 550gt for the long distance cruiser who wants the power to tow/have fun when needed😅 we just recently got a 620dgt which is absolutely lovely. Perfect for grown adult/elder years road trips with the grandchild and economical around town when used everyday. We considered x3/x5s however when trying to get in, it was too high for my mum who is the primary driver and her knees are not what they used to be. This was also offered with a lot of spec, so all in all, win win win😊

I still don't get the point of the GT series other than parting muppets from their money. Each model is: 1. No bigger on the inside that it's non-GT counterpart 2. Has less headroom in the rear because of the rear roofline than it's non-GT counterpart 3. It's more expensive to purchase and slower/less efficient than it's non-GT counterpart 4. Worse to drive (like an SUV) i.e. it might be trying to look sporty but you can't cheat physics compared to a saloon 5. Can't go offroad 5. My eyes.............................just look at it 🤮🤮 (the 3 GT was a bit better for space in the back but the 5 GT is a joke in this respect)

I’d have called an ambulance as well 😅 I did think the 5|Series GTs looked ungainly, not helped by me not being the biggest fan of that gen 5-Series’ nose, but you’re right, it does suit white quite well. Not my thing, but definitely something a bit quirky and different to an SUV or estate.

Everything from minor niggles to catastrophic failures all within the first 60k miles on a meticulously maintained dealer serviced vehicle. Almost everything that used electricity failed at least once and a couple of things like the window switches and motors plus the sunroof motors failed multiple times. It had numerous issues with the turbos and oil leaks. A 100 miles before the warranty was up I traded it in on a Lexus.

I bought a 2010 5 Series GT based on your previous video of one. OMG, love this car so much, the 3.0L straight V6 is an awesome engine. Mine is high mileage, had a crankshaft pulley go and the rear air suspension needed new solenoids, but other than that it's built like a tank. I also had the sunshade go on me, I just put it back into the open position and forgot about it, I might get the sunroof tinted at some point, which is what everyone (owners) say to do, a new replacement one will go in a few years apparently. I think you are right, when they first came out they were ugly, but now I see a new x6 on the road and at first I think oh it's another GT, they have seem to come back around in style tbh. Great videos, keep up the great work!

Ill tell you what you didnt half drop on with this one. Absolutely great looking and looked after car. You did the right thing regarding the roof curtain. Im guessing you'll sell this within a month. Always reliable and nice leather interior 👍👍.

I agree with the approach you took on the blind - sensible and acceptable. The final outcome will not make the next owner feel short changed

5GT sits on the then 7 series wheelbase, split talegate was really clever and I went on the launch for this car; was for golfers to put clubs in with rear seat passengers having the option to stay dry whilst you did of raining!

Love the channel ive watched for a while and all i can say is I dont know a better person to buy a used car off than you... There maybe one out there.... You clearly love doing what you do and if someone loves this car when they see it they'll pencil the job in.

Hi Matt, lovely car, imo you did the right thing with the roof blind, As you do I tend to keep the sunroof blind open in the Lexus, its lovely to have the extra daylight coming in. hope you get the full asking price. All the very best from Nick the Lexus guy in Wolsingham.

Hiya, love it when you list out the cost and expenses on the screen. Just like the wheeler and dealer way. Keep up the good work!👍
@Eastbarn1 11 ай бұрын
The difference is, Wheeler Dealers “forget” to show the cost of things like the new tyres that every car ends up with. I drive my poor wife mad by pointing out the things that they did without adding the cost to the bill! Oh yes, there is also the £1,000 that they pay every vendor/purchaser!

Very nice car,roof blind removal was best option for sure..another good video,👍

This is what I wanted when I was pressed to buy a X3. Liked their (at the time) odd look but loved the internal space and ride. The spend on repairing the blind was too much and I’ve have had something like what you decided done to resolve. BUT I’d have had to tint the glass. I’ve sat in the back of cars with glass s’roof and the blind retracted, the glare on even overcast days hard to bear. So, I’d have tinted it to compensate. Glad you had one of these in your stock as I was right away interested to hear your take. 👍🏻

I have the 6 series GT great car, after selling my X5 good value for money too. M sport comes with a lot of toys as standard similar to the 7 series. Doesn’t handle as well as the 5, but overall very good car, and a keeper for a few years !!

The car must have sold pretty quickly, as I just checked your website and it's not listed! 😄 Great content Matt!

You made the right choice, the car looks better with more light.

Great video again Matt, thought that car would have been £11000,with such low miles,and I think you would get that easy,a really mint car.

You did exactly the right thing! Lovely car and a lot for the money.

The sort of budget I'm looking at for my next car and hadn't ever noticed these before. Based on this video, they look worth considering. Good job with it I reckon

I think you've done the right thing with that one, Matt. If it was my car and the sunroof cover started sagging, that's exactly what I'd have done. It looks like a really nice car.
@anthonyraistrick4728 11 ай бұрын
Very nice motor. A great purchase there buddy. It’s quite refreshing to see someone actually looking after their car for a change on these videos. I’d quite happily buy a car from you seeing the work you put into them. Another great vid and a great educational channel. Long time subscriber here. I recommend to watchers who aren’t subbed to sub! 👍

Great video as always. One thing that annoys me as I can't work it out is why so many car reviewers use the phrase "pillarless doors" when it isn't the pillar that is missing (presumably so the doors don't fall off!...) and it isn't the door but rather the window that is missing the frame. Frameless doors might just work but they are literally frameless windows no?........just me then.

Lovely video, and great content, and now another car added to my list of cars i would love to own, i would love to wrap it into a dark green as that is m favourite colour.
