2:20 why do you need to make sure that the turn signals work? It's a BMW
hahahahaha
Because BMW's are still cars and they are required to use their turn signals.
+Untitled Name you clearly aren't a car guy
the only time your bmw is required to have working turn signals is when you go and do your yearly car inspection^^
Luke Mortell I don't know what the term car guy means, but maybe I'm not, but I own a BMW X5M 2015 and my dad owns a 7 series '16 and we for sure always use the turn signals
Planning on buying a BMW? These are some of the tools that I use most frequently when working on my car bit.ly/2Hcp2cE
Justin Buice I made a comment asking for info and never got a reply bro
Hi justin
Am interested in buying used BMW F10 530i-535i 2011-2013 used
I need your advice please
Hey Justin thanks for the video I wish I had found this a few years ago as it would of saved me a lot of time at inexperienced auto shops! 😂 do you have any advice for maintaining the grey interiors along the door jam arm rests and centre console, mines flaming badly?!
I've bought used BMW F10 523i
Took your advice
It's so smooth
Love the ride
Bought it less than 10 thousand dollars
Restore it with 2 thousand dollars
Great tips
These are all great points and really. Any used car you buy, these tips can work for. Except the service notifications, not available on many other non luxury cars.
thank you Eminem
+SShorsepower I wrote you but you still ain't callin'
+Justin Buice That's cause he bought a proper car... an audi! :pVery good video though always good to have some idea of what and how to look for things
Justin Buice
Hey Justin thanks for the video, very eye opening!!! as you've said if a 'price is to good to be true' it's a red flag. could you pls share your thoughts. driversselect.com/Used-2015-BMW-328i-Dallas-TX/vd/43309302
Lol
Brilliant
I own 3 used BMW's. The cost of long term ownership is about the same as any other luxury car. 2003 745i: owned since 2007, brake job and one battery. 2005 330CIC: owned since 2006, 2 batteries and brake job after 2 track days. 2008 535 xi wagon: owned since 2014, nothing other than oil changes. All of these cars are low mileage, garaged, and inspected before purchase. The smile on your face as you enjoy driving these cars: Priceless!!
Agreed, bought a 2011 320d late last year. The first week of driving it I couldn't get over the sheer quality and driving pleasure it handed to me. Even the entry level vehicles as these were, are impressive to say the least. It's also hard to wipe the smile off your face when overtaking with seemingly no effort at all on the cars part...and the mileage...wow. When driving new toyotas, nissans and Hondas as I sometimes have to do, it's like going backwards or something..the engines strain and I feel like pulling out a whip or something.
In 1997 I bought a 2.5 year old 325iS with 67,000 km on it for ~$30K that I had for 9 years until it was written off at 328,000 km when rear ended by the ubiquitous white van. The insurance company gave me $11K as write off value . . . so depreciation of ~$2K/year for a car that was incredibly fun to own and drive. Can't beat that.
Brother you nailed it. If you are a DIY kind of man and take care of your stuff, these are awesome cars!
Damn! You lucked out man. Awesome story.
+Jagshemasher 'Losing' 2000$ a year is indeed not bad. And that's why I bought a BMW 5 last week. My previous car was a Saab.... Paid 25.000$ for it, 4 years ago. And I was lucky to sell it for 3.000$.... So, depreciation of 5.500$ a year... That hurts...
I’m glad you have a great following ! U deserve it! Thank you for your time In making these vids🤟
Bought a 2013 X5 35i as my first BMW and also first ever car. Very proud!
all i gotta say is, you get what you pay for. i'm a trained BMW tech & a owner of a '10 E60 528i for 3 years now & its been by far the best car iv ever owned out of the 16 cars iv gone through lol. however, maintenance is the biggest key to maintain these ultimate driving machines. these N52 motors (same in the E90) are very very delicate motors (electric water pump, dual vanos w/vvl, aluminum/magnesium block so special cooling must be considered, plastic cooling parts, starter is crap (had to go through 3 of them) etc) but overall its an excellent package that actually uses previous racing technology for the streets. do extensive research & find what suits you. IMO, the N54 twin power models (535i or 335i) have more issues then the N52 due to their faulty High pressure direct injection fuel pumps & injectors. with that being said, the base models are miles more reliable then the turbo models. just make sure the car has been properly recalled & you'll love your new investment.
+Christian Castro What do you think of the previous version 5 series like the 530i or 540i? I always liked the styling of those. Seems like a great road trip car.
+johnnnewmex They're good as well. just be on the look out for the cooling system on the early models. these cars are really solid for the long highway road trips, as long the maintnance are up to date & kept to OEM specs (ride gets ruined if the car has thin tires)
+Christian Castro thanks!
+johnnnewmex I have 2003 530i with 209,000 miles and I love it. 5-speed manual sport package with original clutch and no oil leaks. As long as you keep the coolant system well maintained, air intake hoses and other old worn out parts like DISA valve, PCV system "oil seperator", clean idle valve, replace fuel filter, etc., and take care of the normal wear & tear items like suspension components, brakes, etc. it's the best car you'll ever have. It's all about the maintenance as Christian eluded to. I hope you find a well maintained one.
+Christian Castro Would you recommend these cars to non-BMW techs who just want to look good, but have very little a idea how to fix it if something does go wrong? I ask because you seem very well versed on these cars, and definitely a lot of money DIY most of the problems.
This one is an E90. I have an E46. I have owned it for a few years with hardly any trouble. Service centres will charge heaps for parts, but you can buy them cheap online. There are mechanics that will sting you for services and repairs because they think it's European, I have a right to charge more. I found a mechanic that told me they are no different to work on than any other modern car. They are a very nice car to drive though. :-)
You tell the truth, Catweasle. My son just gave me his 2009 328i E-93 N-51 S-6 standard suspension BMW because he deemed the car to be worth less than its repairs. I began with a PPI (prepurchase inspection) that sells in Atlanta for $75 to $150. From the list of recommended repairs, I selected the most expensive (front struts). I researched the cost of the needed parts from sources such as FCP Euro, Turner, Carid. Then I went to 4 BMW shops, 1 Atlanta dealer, and 3 generic shops for their prices. The total repair prices (without taxes and shop supplies) ranged from about $750 to about $1,500. The retail parts ranged from about 150% to 200% of wholesale. The labor ranged from about 3.3 to about 4.5 hours (ie, some shops double-charge, once for the strut work and once for the spring removal that is already part of the strut estimate). One ethnic-centric shop was about the best in online reviews, the lowest in parts' markup, and the most honest in labor hours. I have the car there now to fix the PPI problems.
thanks for all the videos and everything man, I've been looking at a used z4 and you've really opened up my mind to what its like and i think I'm ready to get a bmw now. i was really nervous and skeptical at first but all the videos like your oil vid and the reasons to buy one have all helped.
+Zach Bart awesome! Im glad I could help!
you are so calming to listen to
if money is a problem to you, don't buy a bmw, period.
here in germany some bmw are cheaper to run and maintain than a ford fiesta xD
+TheWolvesCurse thats bs no chance that a bmw is cheaper to maintain then a ford fiesta...
Stéphane Mpore makes sence :p
+CarPassion it actually is true, because parts there are made in Germany so it's cheap
I hate people who complain about bmw reliability it's not for people who can't afford to maintain it, it's for people who want a luxurious driving machine. Also I would say never buy a used bmw unless the mileage is low and the wear is minimal.
Great informative video. I bought a used 335i 2010 model with 54k miles and went through a long battle with the dealership over a valve cover gasket leak. Be sure to check for this as it is a common issue with these cars! You may not be able to spot it on the bottom plastic splash guards and instead see it on the side of the motor.
Hey bro thanks for taking the time to pass on the great advice!!👍👍👍
Dude! Your videos are so insightful :)
Congrats on 1m views. This is the video that made me subscribe
+Nour Hummadi thanks and thats awesome!
@@justinbuice My wife watches this Justin because she likes his style, not because she needs his BMW advice for her Toyota.
I just bought a 2005 325 for 1900 USD with 123k miles. Mint condition... There was rough idle, low power and check engine light for cam position. He must have got scared and tried to dump it because all I did was plug in the exhaust cam sensor that he didnt plug all the way in and fix the vacuum leak and its running like butter...
Guessing he got quoted a bunch for a new vanos unit or something LOL. Also there was a lound knocking noise when going over bumps. I just tightened the brand new sway bar link that wasnt even on properly... Its like god wanted me to have this car
Funniest part is I bought the car sight unseen and was preparing myself for a piece of crap.
rsx123 dumb luck
How cool! Enjoy it.
Thanks for these good advices. Gasket leaking is a problem for BMW, careful for the stains of engine oil.
Hot running engine - rubber = hardens and leaks
Great advice!
That said, my e90 330d broke 2 engines in the span of 2 years, ridiculous
reading comments like this make me just not even want to try with bmw
Thank you Gabe from The Office that was very thorough!
+SoundgardenMan LMAO! :')
+SoundgardenMan That guy fucks!
Hells yeah!
Lmao!!!
SoundgardenMan hahahhaha
Bmws most common problems that can happen before 100,000km are Valve cover leaks, oil filter housing leaks, electric water pump going bad, etc.. The new ones are even worse, the turbos seem to go bad on them. But I prefer them over audis, as they are the worst luxury car with the most problems
hey great job very helpful video really enjoyed it purchased 128i had some concerns your video helped greatly thanks
Just bought my first bimmer a week ago, 330i E90 m packet, loving it so far, its 2005 and looks and drives like new! loved the vid btw, spot on
Great advice, thanks for the video.
+AirAmerica Thanks!
Great advice! The biggest cost of car ownership is depreciation, so a low mileage used German car is definitely the way to go in my opinion. I've scored amazing deals on a CPO BMW and Porsche and would not consider buying new unless it was a very specific car with specific options that I wanted. They still not cheap, but let someone else take the depreciation hit if possible.
Thanks man! Thinking in a used 530i but still a little scared. Your video helps a lot!
Great video , it’s was very helpful.thank you for making this video .
This is not going to stop me from buying a BMW
Goerge Ibrahim loooool me neither
Me neither mates
Then don't come back here, crying to us, if or when problems occur.
Facts I want an m4 😫😫
But the BMW you buy will stop you buying a second BMW.
I was looking for something different regarding BMW and came across this video. I just wanna say, “ excellent advice “ this video points out things that most people will overlook. Well done.
This video was very helpful in my search for a bimmer, thanks a lot Justin!!
very informative really appreciate you taking the time to go over all this awsome tips.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! GOOD ADVICE. I love my BMW X1 that I bought straight from Austria but will be looking at a used X3. I am ofcourse terrified that something will break but the mileages is below 20K.
thanks, very clear, logical and useful. well done.
Thank you!
Very clear. I live in Panamá. Many people here complaining about the high cost of repairing a BMW. I have a fantastic 10 years old Lexus rx330. Never had a better finished and reliable car in my life.
Thanks...I have just brought an E39 M Sport and used your comments as a guide...I picked up a couple of minor things but got it anyway because it is as you say, tremendous value for money...
Hi Justin, I'm about to buy a 2006 530i M Sport with 98000 kms. Your tips greatly helped me! Thanks, much appreciated, keep up the great work ! Regards Paul from Sydney Australia
BMWs are not money pits... Some earlier BMWs like e46(98-06) are very reliable. As long as previous owners maintained their cars properly, it should not be too much of a headache: same thing goes for most of the vehicles out there i suppose.
Also, DIY is a way to go. When I first got my car, I didn't even know how to change oil myself but now I know how to install performance headers, change spark plugs, install LSD, troubleshoot vaccum leak. flush brake fluid......etc all in one year of ownership. CZcams is your friend for BMW DIYers.
Buy nicely maintained BMW for decent amount of money even though the mileage is high. Mileage doesn't matter because that means the vehicle has been maintained to even be running after all these miles.
+Jason Lee i would say that all cars are money pits in the long run.
+Leif Johansson No matter what vehicle you own, you will invest a great amount of your pay check into. You need to pay fluids like gas and engine oil. You will need to replace tires and suspension components if they are damaged early due to bad roads.
I bought 4 brand new tires for my AWD car and in less than 3 months I already had a bulge in the sidewall and now need to change out both front tires. It cost me $800 to replace 4 tires and now I need to do it again, probably 1/2 the price this time at least.
-My mom pays the car loan but I have to pay for everything else. If I were to ever buy a vehicle, I would buy a sport bike.
+Jason Lee Oh I used to own a E46 they were not at all reliable so many electrical gremlins. Sure there wasn't any major mechanical issues with it but those electrical problems are annoying they range from window motors failing to power door lock actuators failing to the radio failing and not to mention those parts are expensive as heck too. But for all those problems it sure made you forget it when you drove it best driving cars ever made. I regret selling it so much now.
Himmel Weint
Yeah, I've heard electrical problems and interior wear are the only issues with Euro cars. The engines are very reliable.
The only issue is the BS price increase people who repair your car will make you pay. It's like the video were a mechanic charged a Lamborghini driver like $300 just to change the brake fluid.
Are range Rover good to maintain?
Here's something anyone buying a used BMW or Mercedes Benz. Bring it to a BMW dealer cause trust me if there's anything wrong they wanna make money on it. Listen new car dealers make a ton of money on the service department.
lol yes
Thats what i did with my 2007 525i e60, they even checked if the meter was fake or not
Too bad the owner/ dealer won't let you just take it to the dealership to get it checked out. The whole goal is to make you sign the papers and take the keys after that it's your problem and you're gonna hate your life trying to make them take the car back.
If the owner refuse to take it to the dealership then he is trying to hide something so don't buy it, is as simple as that
Sooo BMW dealerships check out used BMW's for free?
Thank you for making this!
Great content! Straight to the point, useful visuals 👌🏻 the guy who just offered one to me lives near by, and just point me how the car never leaves any fluid stains now I learned those cars don't
Also never ever check a car you want to buy at night time
..always in bright sunlight to show every imperfection in the paint..👍
I always get a good deal because I pull out my gun and steal the car then I go and sell it to the Yakuza then I buy a new bmw
and I have a Cretan shepherd's crook and I use it in your head
Arnold Myers 😂😂😂
Our time will come again.....So tremble false whigs in the midst o' yer glee, you've not seen the last of my bonnets and me!
Arnold Myers nice bro
Hey cousin wanna go bowling?
Thank you, really generous of you
Thanks for the info on this car my son has been looking for one of these for a very long time sounds like a great buy for sure
great advice, I owned five BMW's and that is some of the issues I found also
That’s kool bro
What bmws have you had
Wow thanks bro for the heads up I'm in jamaica and I'm buying a BMW just like that but didn't know about all these things
Great honest review thanks
Thanks man. Slow talk, one grasps everything.
BMW, Mercedes and Audi are excellent for leasing purposes. If you don't have deep pockets and plan to buy a used luxury vehicle for long term, then stick with Lexus, Infiniti and Acura etc.
luxury acura... never heard of it.
lol! but lexus is same class as acura
cataxo444 nope
That E55 AMG dude yeah it is
cataxo444 acura is a honda. lexus is a toyota.
love BMW awesome cars you just have too maintain them,and also put money aside for back up. ultimate driving machine! so true
+flava4u i love mine
flava4u yup BMW are the addictive machines drive it once and your hooked like a feen.
flava4u i just bought an 08 535i and its telling me that the left reverse light is malfunctioning, its just a tiny rectangular backlight, just wondering if its expensive to replace
Agreed, had som fun with my e46 330i today
Didn’t think I would like BMW until I owned one....
Excellent tips. Thank you very much!
Such a helpful video. Great work!
one time, a listing said there were brand new tires. I go to check the car out, tires had no tread on them whatsoever. i asked him about it. he responded with "They're drag slicks"
The best would be to have the car checked out including diagnostics with a BMW shop and ask them to give you a printout of findings before you purchase a used BMW, Most places charge around $150.
+Zarik Parsanian that's a good idea. I bought mine at a Chevy dealership. they could hardly figure out how to turn it on
Thanks for the upload.👍🏻
Thanks man, very informative and helpful video
Bought one with low miles, full service history, recent service completed, and still had to have repair after repair done, the garages advice on BMWs, only buy with a warranty, there great for the firs couple years, but after that? ( deep pockets)
So do you recommend me buying a 2001-2004 BMW 3 series?
Informative video, thank you 👍🏼
Great Review ... Thanks ... I'm looking to purchase a 2012 7 Series 750 LI this weekend ... I will use your tips ... Much Appreciated!
Back again for a third time! Support your favorite channels!
Only people who can't afford a new BMW have problems because they wanna roll like a hotshot and only end up paying for first buyers neglects.
Thank you :)
Enjoying my X5M '15 and my dad's '16 750Li
Lol
Cool dude
Meaning?
Nice video...especially regarding the idea of driving it for 20 or 30 mins. and then checking the catch pan with a flashlight...excellent idea.
Good advice. I love my e90 325. It's a total blast to drive but a little underpowered. I want to make it into a readily trackable 400HP sleeper. :)
or you can just get a lexus and don't have to worry about any of these things
+Viren S lexus is a piece of shit stealing everything from design to technology from bmw,audi,mercedes. So yeah, keep your toyota with fake leather seats
1. asian design sucks. Ugly as fuck. These zig zack design is truly for people with yellow skin. 2. Lexus aka toyoto with fake leather seats has LEDs that Audi had in 2007 hahaha 3. Front grill completely stolen from Audi. 4. Tail lamps completely stolen from BMW. 5. Performance wise slower than any German car. To sum it up. It's garbage. A wanna be Audi from the front, a wanna be BMW from the back, a wanna be Mercedes from the inside. A toyota with fake leather seats. JUNK.
you clearly never drove a lexus, i have nothing to say
Usdiuadn Njsknadk Sorry, Toyota is not my class. German cars yes.
german cars spend more time in the mechanic shop then on the road, ive had bmw,mercedes, american cars, the whole market... nothing drives better, is smoother, more luxurious than a lexus, not being bias, this is off personal experience... facts are facts sorry
“Don’t watch this before you buy BMW”
Very god info, I am buying a 2004 BMW with 150000 miles that is in very good condition. I tested drive it and loved it. Your info gave me the tools on how and what to Check on car. Thank you
thanks for the advice Justin💚
I had a 2008 528i, nothing but problems. Worst car I ever owned. Leaks all over.
Yea I had one that would randomly burn out the window motor on the driver door and when it was burned out it would lose the function of operating rear or side passenger Windows from the driver door. The engine is poorly built as well vanos garbage
same with 320i 2007. shit car
Bought a new 2015 328d xdrive wagon. Loads of fun, but I've already had one leak in the A/C, serious alignment issue, and the infotainment stuff was very difficult to get turned all the way on. Fun to drive, but an overall disappointment. :(
+Paul Shultz get an Acura next time it Audi,or Lexus
+the Asus pro Mac is a lie skip audi or volkswagen there trash
simple, just don't buy any bmw that's newer than a e46/e39
+TheWolvesCurse So after E46 all BMW's are shit? Well in my opinion, the E46 is shit to drive, compared to E90 and F30.
+MossenKoti i prefer a more "analogue" drive feeling and anything after e46 and e39 doesn't deliver it to my preference, if you prefer a modern driving feel that's okay too. these thing belong to the category "taste" and taste is something one can't argue about. what we can argue about on the other hand is the reliability and maintenance of the cars. i know people who bought a e90 and f10 brand new and had multiple enginefailures within the first 24 months of owning. of course the fix of these was covered by warranty, but still, not a good thing. some of the modern bmw's don't even have an oildipstick, so how would find out if you have to refill oil? the electric sensor can fail, and if it works, it would tell you to fill up when it's alraedy running on minimum level which isn't a good thing as well. sorry for spelling or grammar mistakes, i'm not a native english speaker.
+TheWolvesCurse You can check oil level from drive computer in newer BMW's. Also when you have brand new car, you dont need to be checking oil levels every week and so on. I have no experience of the F10 (5-series) But i can tell that the F30 (3-series) is reliable car.

Thanks for the video! We have a 99 Z3 my favorite and a 08 X5 and this week hopefully we add 3 series coupe! Coupes are so sexy design!
Thanks Justin. Good video. I wish I would have paid closer attention to the condition of the run flat tires when I bought my used X5. Replacement tires are $$$$,
Nice explanation video.
I personally don't own a BMW or a purchase/lease new cars in general.
I usually go on Cragslist.org and find good used cars from private sellers and purchase them. I was searching one day on a local listing and found a 1991 & 1993 Ford Explorers from 2 different sellers for $700 dollars each!.... Now anything THAT cheap, buyers would be concerned that something has to be wrong with these cars at first!
But I lucked out and been using them ever since 2010 for the 1991, and 2011 for the 1993. Great cars parts are cheap and never had any major issues with them. Just continuing with normal maintenance and TLC.
Of course every one as there own personal experience buying used cars. But mine has been positive!
You lucked out good sir. I went a bit of a different route and got a "decent" 2003 bmw 325i with 90k miles and now I'm replacing all of the problem areas. In the end I get a "new" German sports car for a grand total of $5,000!
I used to lease many 5 series for the office. They were well liked by those driving them but they did not have to pay the maintenance invoices.
Back here to help with the lost earnings
Hey Bro real good review im thinkin of getting one of these beasts
Thanks Justin! I am going to buy a 2008 535xi tomorrow. I will keep all this in mind!
I'll stick to buying an e30! more fun and awesome!
OCD buyers buying pre-owned...
Very useful video when buyin a used 3 series ! Thanks !
Subscribed! Thank you for your very useful videos!
Glad i could help!
Tip for buying an used luxury car:
Go to the reliable dealer
Not true. I got mine from a certified dealer and the car broke every 3 months
Got a car from a dealer certified, 5km down the road, it lit up like a christmas tree.
Don’t buy a used luxury car in the first place
If you have the money to maintain one too. You’ll be straight.
Buy a Lexus. It may not be as nice but it is more well rounded and you actually get to have your car in your driveway rather than the shop
BMW = BREAK MY WALLET Lol
elpechu HAhahahaha
Lol
BMW = Brings Me Women
GTduzIt Flip yea😎
So funny you are, you've clearly never owned a bmw
Bout to cop one next month thanks bro I’ll be checking what you told me out
Thanks! Very informative
Who's here after today's video? 😂
🙏🏻
Yup!
Me too!
yep :D !
Had to rewatch, CZcams pshhh. Least we could do for the man.
Lots of good advice here. I would add that if you are about to drop $25-40K on a used BMW (3 series . . . . a lot more for a used M5) the spend $250-$350 and have a reputable shop/BMW dealership thoroughly check it out for you or ask the person selling the car if they are willing to let you do this before you purchase it. If the person/dealership selling you the car is unwilling to let you do this then this is a "BIG RED FLAG" and go else where . . . .if they have nothing to hide then they wonlt be worried by this. Make sure the vehicle has a full service history. My only caveat here is that in North America BMW is now including "scheduled" maintenance in the purchase price BUT the oil change intervals they include are are a lot longer than even the BMW dealerships would recommend. I change the oil in my 335d twice as frequently as BMW recommend but after 6 years and 118,000 km (70,000 miles) the car burns zero oil between changes - 10,000 km (6000 miles) and the engine is silky smooth. Also I would recommend checking out the various BMW forums that exist on the car model you are considering buying as they are a good source of information on what can and does go wrong. . . and also how to fix it cost effectively.
Thank you for all the information it helps a lot
Looking into a 2014 535i x drive. This helped soooo much! Thank youuuuu.
if you get an 335i with an n54 engine double get the rocker cover gasket. usually leaks oil at the rear left side. also problematic for the n54's is the wsste gate actuators on the turbos as well as wastegate rattle.
Thank you for the information sir
Thx Xan! I'm definitely NOT getting the older 335i ;-)
i have the 2007 model with the N54 engine. its extremely tunable and puts out more power than the n55 in the later models. but they are temperamental hence why im selling mine
+Xan Millar The N54 also has a problem where the valve cover cracks on the inner portion where the coils and injectors are, on the intake side of the cover and just behind the oil fill cap. If you're looking at one, bring a 5mm Allen, remove the front boots that hold the engine cover on and inspect that area for a crack.
+dknollRX7 yeah i replace the gasket 2 weeks ago. here in Australia it cost 800
Dude, great video. Although I learned something very important many years ago about "high-end" cars, like yours, mercedes-benz, audi's, etc.
If you can't afford a new one, or can't lease a new one, you can not afford to maintain a used one, period, you will thank me later.
+Nino Brown Yep A used BMW is only a good deal for someone that can afford a new one.
A 10 year old BMW will most likely cost you more annually than a new Toyota Corolla.
+Nino Brown Good advice but I have to disagree a little. My exact car with all the options, fees, and tax was close to $48,000. I paid only paid $17,000, a savings of over $30,000. There is nothing that could ever go wrong on this car that would cost $30,000 to fix. Worst case scenario, I could replace the engine AND transmission and it wouldn't cost $30,000. Not to mention monthly insurance on a new BMW is at least 4x what I'm paying now.
I can't afford a new Dacia Logan that costs 6,995 Euro here.

Good video. I immediately replaced the run flats on my 2015 335i lease return that I bought in 2018. I put on summer tires (where we live, there's no reason for anything else) . . . and we just rely on AAA for towing should something happen. In other words, no spare. I have a 2012 Mustang GT500, and it also has no spare. We have a Jeep with a spare and a pickup truck with a spare for those times when we might possibly be out of AAA range (which is extremely rare). We have had four vehicles for 15 years (not necessarily the same ones) and we have never had a flat that made the car inoperable. We DO carry a flat fix-it kit in the BMW and the Mustang.
Dude chill asf
I had a 2011 BMW X5, it's a pretty good car when it works but had issues with cooling system-radiator (4x), spark plugs (2x), ignition coil (3x) and the final straw was the timing belt with gave up around 55k miles and ruined the engine. And yes, I took care of the car with regular maintenance. Couple of people I know have said that BMW cars always has issues with the cooling system. I would never buy another BMW.
+1lecher they are not made like in the past. Now it's all about getting more money sucked out of you. Sad.
+1lecher how could you not tell your fucking timing belt was fucked up? thats your own problem for it ruining the engine. be more aware idiot
+1lecher I had a 2010 X5 which was a nightmare. The vanos was the final straw for me. I have a e93 now that's world's better.
No current bmw engine has a timing belt lol.

Great video, thank you for the tips I am looking a 2006-2012 335i or 328i stick shift my god there are so many rebuilt titles I am worried about maintaining these cars
+HotSizzleTV make sure you get one with a clean title!
Do yourself a favor read as many reviews as possible chances are you may rethink about buying a BMW.Infiniti cars are way better quality.
Are you sure? Infiniti always scores low in reliability. BMW actually ranks higher in Consumer report than Nissan and Infiniti for overall reliability. And the repairs can be just as expensive as BMW
Man Check yourself I don't trust consumer reports , motor trend or any other magazine check on forums with actual owners specially after the first 2 years.
My car is 10 years old and runs fine : )
Title should be DON'T BUY A BMW.
That is a nice heads up...thanks 👌👌👌👌
I am totally in love with BMW, but know so very little about what to look for in quality for the price. My boyfriend has a bmw sport bike k1300s and the quality of his bike is epic. Hence my reason to start looking into pre owned BMW vehicles. I refuse to buy new anymore for the obvious reasons. So, mainly I just wanted to thank you for your time and effort to help people like me feel confident in their purchase. I tend to get all geeked at shiny things and head right on into an impulse buy. I will research, apply your tips to find the best deal. Patience will go a long way in finding something perfect for the money I work so hard for. Thanks again!
