Thank you. I don’t know, if it is reliablein General. I am happy so far. After i bought it. second hand , i had some fault messages, some Sensors were replaced under warranty. After that no Problems at all. I think it Helps to choose premium Diesel from time to time and Drive langer distances (Not only to town) every couple of weeks and floor it when warm. I think it is an economical more or less reliable Engine.

Hi I am also looking to buy from Evans, can you confirm that it is indeed this colour black with orange red fleck and comes with Shimano gears? That would be helpful Thanks

@sjt Hi, no it comes with micro 26 derailleur and unbranded front derailleur. Colours are as advertised though. Hope this helps.

​@@nathansteele9680 Hi so the colour is not the same as it is on the website then? Or indeed this video? How is the bike with those gears? Thanks

@@Sjt_30 Hi, The colour is the same as on the website and this video. But its not Shimano equipped. The gears need slight adjustment from the box to work nicely but seem to be fine in use selecting easily. The seat is bloody uncomfortable though. I'm looking online for a new gel seat now.

​@@nathansteele9680 Cheers for the help

176m above sealevel

i dont own it anymore, a 216d active tourer replaced it because my wife got a baby. during the time i had it, iwould say it depends, talking about being reliable. it never let me down, was always driveable, but check engine lightg showed up quite often - that is something you get used to. My last journey with the car was from vienna to triest. low fuel consumption and everything smooth as silk, i really liked this car.

​@@wuuiiv9493Is it a good performance and feels fast engine?

Not a diesel engine, but sufficient, especially with the automatic gearbox.

@@wuuiiv9493 Most N/A engine get peak torque at about 4K rpm, but the inline 6 of this car is said to get peak torque at about 2.8K rpm, do you feel that in reality?

@@GamingHistory. i can confirm this, but it still gets noticeable more exiting from 4000 on. But still quite satisfying at 2,8 K.

@@wuuiiv9493 thanks for the reply, i guess everything's relative, i drive a 2016 mazda 3 auto with 2.0. Its ok in the city and if you drive alone, but on the highway you need at least 3k to start moving... I bet you can decently pick up speed in the 325i even on the overdrive gear (6th)

Thank you Captain Obvious!

Yes, but the passenger was also a (paying) driver. I am Not sure if you can take anybody onboard, but i dont think so.

Trank you, yes 100% Stock and Running on 95 octane fuel.

@@wuuiiv9493 in recommendations it’s saying about minimum 91. Have you always been using 95?

Fuel Injector sounds Likee the N53 Engine. Anyway, sorry for that! I also sold mine

@@wuuiiv9493 n52! :’) so much for being reliable aye; only 35k miles too

any signs for bad fuel injectors ?

Looks like you kept driving it after clear failure.

There isnt one, but I think you can go into the secret menu on the bc button and find it somehow

@@SWMIKE100 hmm that isn't good...

@@piromanbg1762 no it's not lol, I don't trust the only way to check the oil level is on the bc menu too, no dipstick

@@SWMIKE100 My N52B30 has a dipstick, so I'd imagine the B25 does too.

@@jonsmith1162 100% no dipstick mate

Same

I have 1.0t 120 hp version, its simply very correct car

@@artlew6547 i can recommend i. Great car

@@wuuiiv9493 bro you ok? 💀 How's the fuel consumption figures for the 1.0 T-GDI?

Thank you for this nice information - very interesting to hear

Waar heb je deze laten chippen? En heb je dit in de ecu laten doen of via een losse box?

Waar heb je dit laten doen

Around 14kg

@@masterchr Thanks!

Approximately half a liter

@@wuuiiv9493 we ve got the same problem. Pistons and piston rings 😢

Mine eats oil aswell man

Just use a good quality fully synthetic 0/5w-40 weight oil if you don't already. These engines are designed to drink some oil because of their low friction design, it can be worse or better in a variety of cases. Sometimes the rings will need changing, especially in the earlier 06/07 models

@@wuuiiv9493 Mine is barely. Always full until the next time changing oil

How does the 2.5 pulls? still reliable? oil and fuel?

@@GamingHistory. very good engine reliable and the consumption tbf I’m always around 10l/100km but because l Iive in London

@@enviro_400_life ever took it on the highway? How is it on there?

@@driver4528 around 9l/100km

@@enviro_400_life hmm i am looking to buy a 325i i owned. E46 320ci that was doing about 8/7.5L and in the city about 12liters so i was thinking it would be a bit more efficient because it has the newer engine i had the m52 pretty reliable tho

Tiny bit faster than a remaped 320d

I feel you - own it for 2 years now and there are always some things to do...still think, that n52 is the more reliable choice compared to the n53

You're unlucky my man, I have the same car for 10 years now and I have only changed the water pump and thermostat, no another issues in 10 years, runs like bolt and delivers the horses like it was new, love this thing till death do us part..

@@smm6526 I’ll never get rid of mine either, the engine don’t give me problems it’s more so the rest of the car, water pump, door actuators, fan blower motor for the heat/air conditioning. Alternator. I could keep going 🤣

Thank you! My car (first engine) has run 125.500 kilometers which should be around 78.000 miles. The engine consumes 1 litre of oil per 5000 kilometers (0,26 gallons / 3100 miles). This figures should be very precise since I take notes in an Excel sheet for everything spent for the beemer.

Me 1l per 1000km

For 170K km

True, love it even after 1 year

Where from Thank you

Oh i got it secondhand from my local garage.
