Never heard back still?

Thanks for sharing brotha 🫡

It’s one part also older beamers were well built. E92 generation backwards n52, m54 and m52 m50 are great engines and would give a corolla a run for the money in terms of how long the engine itself would last. I daily a ‘05 zhp 330ci 6 speed 113k miles. I don’t like a lot of beamers past the e92, but you can’t say all beamers are unreliable because ten to fifteen years ago that wasn’t the case

@@M54B30_fan why doesn’t anyone see old bmws then but you see tonss of old Toyotas and Hondas in every state 😂😂😂shows a lot

Ha

@@JakeMaxxx you can see more older or newer bmw than honda and toyota compared in Europe.... It just depends where you live

@@JakeMaxxx because they got cheap and those who bought cheap cars lots of them got abused. They needed cooling system upgrades, and people overheated them and killed the engined and threw them away. Toyotas and hondas are made for cheap people bmw’s aren’t. I work on my car myself and have lower maintenance costs then toyotas or Hondas if they paid labor. My other e46 ‘02 has 162k miles and goin strong. Some sludge buildup but that’s from improper oil changes prior to ownership.

If I remember correctly they said it was about $1200 in parts and like $4k-5k labor😂

Exactly why people need to learn this shit themselves. It sucks and it's hard at first, but fuck paying someone more than a cars worth just to fix something

@@Perry.... Like people got time.

I could see that. Even with a whole shop that shit looks like a ton of work for a re-time

@@Perry.... y’all have to understand, if ppl can afford the car then they have to able to afford the service. ppl who own these cars are loaded so i don’t think they are too concerned about the costs of ownership.

Bro don't act like you can afford one in the first place

If you can afford an M3 or M4 you can afford the repairs lol

German cars = overpriced unreliable junk

@@jakeruffin9433 I think the majority of all new cars fall under that category! Cars like most tech is being designed as throw away and not something that needs to last years!!!

@@tormenting360 definitely the Japanese and korean commuter cars but when you supposedly pay for quality your supposedly buying a well built reliable machine and the Germans just doll up cheap cars and sell them as quality.

No one is buying cars anymore. well there is a major shortage and dealers are asking for like 10 to 20 grand over MSRP not worth it. all these nice cars you see driving on the road are leased . Your best option is to lease BUT for the very few owners out there are not working some regular job and having a $600 car payment and then thinking they can get $10,000 with the repairs ain't happening.. Sooooo really if you can afford this BMW . That seems to be a clean af your not tripping on 10000 of repairs. Shoot just the tires alone will cost you at least 350 a tire after wheel alinement and balance . Go ahead fact check me tires for cars are up 30 to 40 percent. if you own this car you're not tripping on money at all in fact it's probably your daughters or sons car they got for graduation

​@@josepha.9952 Plenty of people are buying new cars? Or maybe I just know people who are?

You realize that the mechanics do everything they can to cover it under warranty because the chances of charging the warranty company full price is higher than the customer.

Take my other kidney

Will you accept my soul as payment?😅

Good to check...

It sounds like a "while I'm in there" kind of thing, or just trying to eliminate as many variables in lieu of the intended purpose

The valves can seat but if the comp test shows some wear on a non fresh rebuilt engine. It could be leaking past the rings. Over time if not caught can score the bore. Good mechanics do both.

Because it could be leaking out if the valves etc slowly

@@andrewg2322 yup I agreee we do the same at auto couture

Yeah they’re fast, flashy, "cool" if you want to call it that, but definitely not worth it.

Youre right, it is pretty reliable when oem and with regular maintenance. Im pretty sure the car in the video has some kind stage tuning done to it.

Yeah you're right, 8 years is FAR too long for what it was designed for...on the 8th year you should already be on your third lease wtf are you doing?

@@VNCTHE1 Im reffering to guy who said that "new cars have issues", it was BMW's issue, i admit that, they fixed it in 2016 facelift.

@@skidhvh I don't think bmw ever fixed anything...if they "fix" 1 thing they have another 10 issues come up. The only time someone thinks a bmw is reliable is when it's brand new, then find out it's not and think it's "fixed" again on the new ones until they find out those have same or different issues too. How do I know? Used to own a shop...whoever wants to drive them they can do whatever they want but I won't ever recommend them 🤷‍♂️.

@@VNCTHE1so you don't know, spun crank hub was issue for pre-LCI car's (>2016), I know because I'm 2014 f80 owner; you simply replace it with Mosselman upgraded one and now it's capable of making more than 650-700hp without any other failure's, S55 engine is basically bulletproof so don't talk shit about car you never owned.

Yes because you work on these cars all the time like them

judging by the lowering springs and the front lip, there's a good chance it was tuned and being pushed harder then it shouldve been. oh well, at least it's fixed.

Then buy what? Every other brand has shit car too s55 rarely get this problem and N54 built like a bedrock same as 2jz lol so buy a bmw

@@chongxina237 I love e46’s and like e92’s, but the n54 is not built like bedrock. The n55 is way better i would never buy an n54 over n55. The oil pan gasket failures, oil filter gasket failures, turbo failures, plastic cracking valve cover, cheap plastic charging pipes, no room for the tt’s, dfi, high and low pressure fuel pump. You’d definitely be better with the n55. I love 335’s and m54’s n52’s s52’s s54’s n54 and n55 as the next bmw guy there are reliable bmw’s out there and this is one flaw on the car that is obviously being seen as now it’s a couple years old. My ‘05 bmw 330ci zhp m54 6 speed is very reliable and just at 113k. My ‘02 330ci auto vert is at 162k rn and still goin.

Don’t buy anything you cannot afford.

You shouldn't be required to do wiring inside an engine. Nobody likes doing it and it's overly complicated

Not too bad on my e46 zhp. It’s a lot easier to remove the electric fan than the mechanical fan the pre facelift has. It isn’t too bad, but i don’t have two turbos. The old bmw’s are pretty good to work one and don’t really break despite public opinion.

Please tell me this is a joke

German cars are for image driven lawyers, doctors, etc...you know, people that know 0 about cars 🤷‍♂️ Driving a bmw doesn't prove you're a man, it proves the opposite...it proves you can go to the dealer, they can tell you anything, and because you know 💩 you will beleive them and bend over, then you can take it from behind like a "man" 🙄

BMW and Range Rovers are incredible machines just look at the older ones. These newer models are a ton of problems

You regret it even after getting a crank hub? Why?

@@cmm9360 It never felt planted on power, it was extremely inconsistent on Bootmod3, the steering sucked, it wasn't comfortable for more than 30 minutes at a time, putting an M4 GTS hood on it was a fiasco, and the idiots it attracted.

Dumb owner

What about equipment leases, shop rent, utilities, and insurance. People pocket watch these mechanics way too much there are more expenses than just parts and labor. These shops are businesses and should be viewed as such.
