@@ECPP DONT BUY BMW , PERIOD

@@exoticcarsplayplace4003 ..I have A GT 535I Xdrive BMW GT..I notice U guys haven’t done a Vid On the GT series.

I am have been drooling and dreaming about 5series/F10. This clip killed my dreams.

@@sunshine8556 BMWs are the types of cars that one leases for the warranty. Its not worth owning unless you really want it but expect costly repairs later on. I have a 2012 328i with 90k miles and its in the dealership for emission repairs and coolant leak. They told me the estimate for parts and labor is around 4.8k. Its pretty depressing to tell you the truth.

The truth is sometimes bitter. I was so excited to buy a used BMW 750 li xdrive but this guy’s videos changed my mind, and though I truly thank him for all the info, I’m not happy that I will never buy it. I’m really not happy

@@Zai-A I bought a 2004 M3. Luckily it’s in good shape. The first Owner really took good care of It and all of its maintenance. Because I’m not nice under the hood I would not recommend buying once either. They’re expensive toys

@@ECPP I bet. you can keep your hat 🎩 on mate.

Mark, I’m a car enthusiast like yourself.... I have a 2007 M6 also and love my convertible, I only have 45,000 miles. And stored in garage like your 06 m5 and lambo!! I also have 06 Gto and 2010 ZO6. Your knowledge is on point, especially with E60 m5. I have a question what oil do you use in your m5? I personally agree that the 10-60 oil is to thick for that motor since the tolerance is so tight on that v10 f1.

He's a robot

It's then, all her issues make any sense?

Truth. 3yr lease returns that are CPO, you can extend the CPO warranty additional years. Worth it.

buy a lease return 3yr old one that is certified pro-owned so you have that extended factory warranty, it's piece of mind

I like the idea of an airplane mindset. I treat my BMWs like you suggest. I also see owners not fixing “minor” engine oil leaks in an N54 with disastrous outcome. Don’t own any German car unless you have the money to fix it when problems occur.

Wow. At least the Italian cars have flare! A German car should not require so much attention to keep rolling. BMW cars use to have engineering geniuses designing them! Then the profit bug infested them. That became their new ideology. I miss those days.

Thank you so much for supporting

Thank you very very much.

He's not a car salesman, just an enthusiast.

i used to be that honest car salesman got tired of working 12 hours a day! I once told a customer not to buy a car cause i saw on the carfax the airbag had gone off! she appreciated the honesty and came back a week later to buy a different car. My boss was out back using whiteout on the carfax!

He just wants you to buy/lease a new vehicle

@@ThomasMark-zw3nw You're really smart....he doesn't sell cars...he's just a wealthy enthusiast with a Lambo, a Porsche, Jaguar F-Type, a beautiful home, and other toys.

Speaking nothing but facts! I got a 2004 E53 (102k miles) and she’s SOLID as a rock! No issues at all (window regulator went out at 101k miles but that wasn’t an issue). I’m starting to change the parts now to make sure she’s good for many years to come. Preventive maintenance I like doing. They’re excellent cars, they just require more attentive care. Personally I always recommend others to go for the older models of BMW. Less technology crap in them and not so much plastic parts compared to the newer models these days.

Thanks

My 2004 E53 is a blast to drive bro. I love it so much. She got 102k miles and it’s amazing. I love old school BMW’s and plan on buying a 325ci next. Any issues or concerns I need to know about them?

@@trustyoungpierre9959 I had a coupe. Not a convertible just for reference. The coolant expansion tanks are known to crack and need replacement. Also sometimes the radiator also but you can get an aftermarket one for less than 100.00. Pulley set. Coil springs and shocks/stuts after 100k miles. That's about it for the most common things that need replacement after 100k if not done already. There is one other thing to check and that's to look for any cracks in the rear subframe. Look it up and you'll see what I mean. Usually it's only happening on cars that have been driven hard alot like some M3s but can happen on any of them when pushed too hard for too long. Oh and expect the pillars inside from front to back to have the cloth material falling off. They are notorious for that. I did have to do spark plugs and a valve cover gasket also. Look for oil leaks. Oil pan also as it's not a cheap or quick job to replace as the front subframe must be dropped if I recall correctly. The M54 engines are reliable when treated properly but are known to use some oil too. May have to top it off occasionally. The M52 and M52TU didn't need as much topping off if any. Hopefully I havent scared you away from them too badly. I love a good e46. Any more questions feel free to ask.

@@warmachine_1396 nah you haven’t scared me at all. Sides ALL cars need maintenance like BMW’s. I got a couple good cheap independent mechanics who specialize in BMW’s here in Texas and I work on them myself sometimes. After all, you take good care of her and she’ll take good care of you. I was looking at a convertible one but I also wanted to know is there any mechanical issues between the coupe//convertible? Or are they both the same?

@@trustyoungpierre9959 that I couldn't tell you. I have no experience with the convertibles. My coupe didn't even have a sunroof which was a rare thing. Parts for the e46s are cheap they days really for the most part. I usually use FCP Euro for parts. Everything they sell comes with a lifetime warranty. A couple other places for parts are ECS tuning and Pelican Parts. I'd like to have a convertible myself someday. I almost ended up with a Z3 with low miles recently but someone beat me to it. Was Oxford Green I think with 2 tone interior. Green and beige. Manual transmission.

Spot on 👍. 😄

100%

Yep. True. Sticker price for my m4 was 74k. Plus taxes etc. In 2015 new, In 2019 I paid 43k for it. So much car for that price

To me it's largely about the specific car you put eyes on buying. From my experience a luxury car that looks good / has been taken care of i.e. has been to the dealer for regular service & especially warranty repairs, is often GTG for a long time in the out-years. Service history is key. Yeah it's a gamble, but more often than not I've come out ahead on that gamble vs the following: What is more of a certainly vs a gamble is buying one of these cars new. You WILL pay a king's ransom on taxes/registration & you WILL lose your @ss on depreciation. Plus you likely will be spending a fair amount of time & money at the dealer for routine service & warranty work. The other plus to buying one of these type cars used is if you don't end up liking it you can often get out from under it for very close to what you paid for it. This is even more true in cases where you purchased your ride tax-free via a private party buy. I love it when people buy or lease new though as if not for new buyers & leases I wouldn't be able to get fine automobiles for a fraction of the cost.

They do make awesome diesel engines for sure! I love mine

Agree. The Japanese cars just don't ride the same. I was coming from an infiniti

My 07 328i got an engine swap recently, hopefully it’s done this week! 😅 $1700 for 43k mile engine

Nice to hear that. You definitely took care of the car and knew how to drive it like you should and it lasted!

@@MAK_SCO how many miles did the old engine have?

May I ask you which older bmw it was?

And what went wrong?

@@thelegendaryredx7710 1995 325i, I had all types of problems from the interior, the factory radio wasn't working and the front grill wasn't the most secure. My main issue was the transmission.

@@djsound-nice7637 I don’t understand perhaps your car was mistreated by the previous owner but those Inline 6 engines are pretty much bulletproof especially with a manual trans. Grills yeah they’ve been a problem even for later models but there’s ways to get around it. As for the radio it could’ve been a blown out fuse or just stopped working due to old age either way I’m sorry for your experience and hope it doesn’t completely steer you away from bimmers

Lol Scott, for sure it’s very cold and I am surprised the cameras work in this cold but I love doing this so it does not feel like work. True the cars are wonderful to drive but a person should be prepared for expenses and frequent maintenance. Hope you are staying safe and warm as well.

Scotty is 70 years old who in the hell takes mechanical advice from him.

​@@MrRepsMrReps Yeah what most people don't seem to understand is the fact that when someone visits Scotty instead of the dealership it already suggests that he or she purchased a shoddy car in the first place and this can apply to any brand, even his endorsed Toyota brand of which I have seen a handful of videos of his also saying that Toyota's are a collection of cheap ass plastic. What's also worth mentioning is the fact that here in Europe you will rarely if ever see a German car next to the road which is not at least 10 or even 15 years old but you will always see cars from Asian manufacturers such as Kia, Toyota, Daihatsu, Nissan and Hyundai and I've seen quite a few which were definitely from the last 2 or 3 generations so I am not so sure where this perception of Toyota being a topnotch brand comes from.

What about a 650i?

Thanks for sharing and yes Lexus and reliability are synonymous so that was a great choice and you will likely have far fewer problems but with that said I have a 2009 E70 X5 diesel and I love it. I have owned it for about 8 years and it’s a champ. When things bresk, and there have been a few, they do get pricey. I still value the driving experience over all else. Only exception is the 335 I owned and that car was a true disaster

@@ECPP great to hear... Undeniably BMW’s drive fantastic, very sporty. My ES350 is a luxury straight liner which is fine by me but TBH i do miss something more sporty... I love the IS350 and that would be a terrific luxury/sport car. You do sacrifice interior room especially the back seat as well as trunk space.... Ive had my share of sports cars: 1986 Toyota MR2 5 speed (my first new car ever at ripe age of 22); 1996 Mustang GT 5 speed manual (bought new); 1992 Acura NSX 5 speed manual (bought used in 2006); 2006 Volvo S60R 6 speed manual (bought used in 2008). My plan is too get a C5 Z06 or C6 Grand Sport when i get closer to retirement in 5 years ! Need something exciting to drive, My ES350 is so luxurious but lacks that sports car THRILL !!

Lexus sure is reliable but that is I sure will get a lexus when I am bored or don’t want a sport car ( when is am old like 60 year old ) but best to buy a Lexus Is use so they many opción. For BMW you need to buy it new

Should of gotten an Acura, Volvo, Porsche, Genesis and Tesla all better than the Lexus and reliable

@@rahimi4762 what world you living in ? 🤦‍♂️Acura and Genesis are the only 2 that comes close to Lexus in terms of reliability and dependable. The others don’t even come close

Thank you very much

Nice

thats the best year of the 3 series. The best steering, super reliable, and best looking LCI bodywork that still looks good today, you can even flash the 330i BMW ECU tune onto it FOR FREE and it really wakes up the car, you don't have to add the 3 stage intake manifold and you still get close to 330i power with better reliablity.

That's my point too. You are already paying extra for a car, for their brand. But why are these premium brands more expensive in the first place? Because they supposedly offered better quality. Reliability is part of "better quality". I will not buy any of these so called premium brands BMW, Audi, Merc. These brands ares now outright thieves and criminals. Why should they give me cheaper parts in my car if I have already paid twice as much for the car when it's new?!

Nothing he said was refutable.

yes this ! i just told someone this in the comments, do your research and ask the dealership questions that refer to what the car main problems are and when did they get the repaired ect.

I have to agree with you there. I brought a 2008 328xi six years ago with 65,000 miles and it still runs like a Charm.

What y would it have to go out of business ??? 🤔

RustygamerX Any business that focuses on strictly profit and not the satisfaction of their customers don’t deserve their patronage! You pay that much for luxury and performance, but they leave out reliability, with cheaply made parts, basically this is a slap in the face for loyal customers who deserve better than that! Even the host would agree.

@@marlonwebber4952 what do U mean cheap parts the cars are very well made and they r very durable especially the 7 series

They started fading around ‘98... you could see it coming. Drove them for years, stopped in ‘98. One family owns every dealership across the center of my state and BMW will not allow a second dealership in the area... Horrible dealership experience, lying service managers, rarely had the lease contracted loaner car, didn’t want to tow the car from my driveway when it wouldn’t start. Not a dead battery, it was electronic problems. Because it “wasn’t on the road”. So I pushed it into the street and called them back. I laugh at idiots driving a car living of its glory years from 40 years ago.

I agree. Mine was a brand new 325 4 door sedan. I enjoyed driving it, more than fixing it. It was declared their best machine then. Simpler cars compared to today's. I held on for 10 yrs & 100k before calling it quits!

Why did you keep it ? Sounds perfect bmw

They use to last. Not anymore.

I think problem is. People just don't care. As far keep it maintained, Every car has a weak point. Also there's a ton of BMWs out there.

Cause they are trash

Main thing is the quality... i think cars made in germany which are supplied in europe are of better quality.. it would be good to hear from someone owning a bmw assembled in germany in USA

@@salehnawaz7233 that's true. I own m4 and interior quality is nice! German cars interior can least for very long time. Compared to jdm cars. Where interior, buttons, can wear our fast

Propably made your choice already. But 6-cyl. all day long. Such a big car so the tear and wear is much stronger on the 4-cyl. The 4cyl hangs on good with the traffic too but consuming gas quite a bit. Drive both and you get the answere!

How much is considered as low milage please help?

@@kavindumalshan9379 Depends on the car, I purchased a 2020 BMW 340i xDrive with ~21000km on the odometer with BMW Premium Selection warranty and I could have purchased a similar car with less options and less driven kilometers but I find it suspicious when a car is ~1,5 years old and has only driven 6000km which would indicate that those kilometers are mostly from city traffic whereas the one I bought logically has more highway kilometers.

Some real women can too

Mike here in Australia 🇭🇲 it's break my wallet

You bet overall decent engines but I made recent. Ideas that talk to that,

hey did you finance the 335i ? what would happen if you financed and the care became too problematic how would you go about this ?

@@jshifty9618 Yes, I did finance it. However, when I purchased it, it still had factory warranty left on it. Based upon my mileage, there was about a year's left. When the warranty wore out I got nervous and was a decisive factor in trading it in, after one of the BMW's characteristic water leaks happened. A coolant hose burst and was easily replaceable. I enjoyed the car but became nervous once little things started occurring

@@thomashelm6931 i really appreciate you taking the time and responding, i’m looking to buy one i see maintenance is issues but if i can do it myself would you still recommend getting it ? ofc if it’s out my range i’ll go to a mechanic. also this is after asking the dealership the main question like when was the last time the timing chain and high pressure fuel pumps changed (supposedly the n63 worst engine problems.)

@@jshifty9618 it's very subjective depending on your mechanical aptitudes. Mark, our host on exotic car play place, had a 335i with the n54 engine. It was a real headache in the benefits where nothing compared to the weekly issue of something going wrong. And he fixed the problems himself. But he ended up selling the car. As always, a thorough pre-purchase inspection, But I would look at any BMW with the potential of issues down the road.

@@thomashelm6931 very understandable and again i appreciate your wise words. i’ve seen ways on youtube to help prevent som problem with a couple mods to help keep the engine a bit cooler than usual, i’m in maryland so it doesn’t really get that hot mostly rain. they also have a 14,15 model of the same car so if the 11 isn’t up to date i’ll more then likely get a newer model or a completely different model which i don’t want to have to do unless it’s better for me down the line.
