Also a very small world the automotive YT one. Rob from Salvage Rebuilds UK is mates with Scott Chivers (Ratarossa) who brought the Ferrari wing/fender over to Florida for his friend Samcrac who took that up to his chum VTuned who’s still repairing the Ferrari - full circle!😂

Having been a dealer and gone to many auctions, it really got old how much corruption existed at places like Copart and Manheim. Shady dealers that would sabotage vehicles, mess with them, unplug sensors, cut wires to try and get them for less. Or the auctioneers who would fake ¨bids¨ to run the prices up. It really got old and make it difficult to get clean cars or make a profit. Plus all the ridiculous fees that were associated with the auctions, it became a rat race.

The shadiness is out of control.

Buyer's premium, sellers premium, holding charge, movement charge, paperwork filing fees, stocking fee, loading fee and the one you don't know about until you see the bill seems to be another 50% on top of your bid.

@puttitat2851 5 ай бұрын

I'm pretty sure that the ECUs of that car would have IMMO data as well, so them working in the car kinda tells me that the 'nice guy' who gave you a 'good price' was the guy who stole them. 😅

Hi Ben, so happy you got the Beemer running! That battery is a weird deal. Once again maybe some of the faithful who follow you might have an idea. I know how it is with the little things. They pile up and feel like one big one. Hang in there though because if anybody can figure these problems out, it’s you! Take care and see you when the next episode drops.

@nathanmaret2465 4 ай бұрын

Came here to say this! Once the battery goes dead once the ECU thinks it's still dead until you "reset" it and tell it the battery is good to go again. Not sure why the McLaren battery worked... Maybe it's the opposite, where the car is looking for a certain voltage (from the ECU telling it) but because the battery is a bit lower now it doesn't match and the ECU is mad? Who knows... SO much tech and programming on modern cars!

I think the original owner is still up to dodgy dealings & trying to recover as much money as possible. Says he only took the tuner off, yet the aftermarket intake pipe was loose & damaged

@dickdegraaff5452 5 ай бұрын

Dear Ben, It’s very understandable that the BMW M4 is kind of a pain in the ass regarding to rebuild this car because you meet problems after problems. At the other hand it’s really clever you got the engine running. Adding how far you already have reached the level of rebuilding and knowing your skills to fix almost any damaged car I’m positive you’ll succeed with this one as well. Nice new projects are on the way. I look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands

Youll need something like ista to reset the battery counter or whatever its called within the ecu. Its the same battery but if you charge it, its like a new battery. The previous gen was like that. Worth a shot.

It would be an employee for sure, they don't just let people walk round the yard to steal stuff. I don't understand why people steal from where they work, if you are caught you will be fired, then the only job you will get after that is on the garbage trucks if your lucky.

I had the exact same issue with my x5 fob. BMW uses a specific brand of battery in their fobs. A tech told me that one of the terminals is slightly wider than most batteries on the market. Can't remember what brand it was! Think it was German maybe Varta

Had this with a Porsche cayenne hybrid I rebuilt damaged and the lithium battery was dead after accident stripped it down and it had a bms (battery management system) inside like the box on your bmw battery had to buy a tool to plug into the bms and reset it before it would switch the battery on bmw might have same set up worth a look as I was quoted nearly £2,500 pounds in uk for new battery after reset battery was good as new . Keep up the good work 👍
