Don’t Buy These 

this video is the car guy equivalent to "i can fix her"

Wanna impress your friends with a baller car on the cheap? Don't forget, if your friends think you're rich, so does the mechanic. 😂😂

I drove a 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur for 7 years and bought it for only 40k at the time with 37k miles on it. I sold it for 29k eventually and other than regular maintenance the only thing that ever went wrong was the air suspension went out once. They REALLY are reliable and oh my god are they fun and comfortable. Plus it's actually doesn't get a bunch of the wrong attention because it was so understated.

Buying a used British car is like playing Russian roulette with only one bullet missing. It’s essentially financial suicide.

i bought a 15k used bmw, then my dog died wife left me kids got cancer and to top it all off the car blew up (I'm schizophrenic) ps. Thanks to all the likes and kindness My children's cancer was doubled and given to the next person 🙏🙏

Note for the c63, they fixed the head bolt issue after the 2012 models.

U would buy a Range Rover over a c63 😭

As head tech at a euro specialist shop I have a saying for all my customers. "While the car depreciates, the maintenance and repairs do not". I personally have an S65 with the hydraulic ABC suspension. Even with me taking care of it, parts are OEM only and expensive!

LOL - the Nissan truck commercial right in the middle of "Don't buy these" vehicles might not have been the best placement. :)

I used to work as a technician at jag/landrover in the UK, I can tell you from experience, the "Annoying electrical issues" on range rovers are not just "annoying", We had a '09 sat in the shop for a month getting diagnosed with a different electrical issue every day, It was bricked and wouldn't even turnover. Until one day a "red sheet" comes in and they swap the whole transmission, I was an apprentice at the time working under the diagnostic and electrical guy, Probably one of the most depressed people I've worked with, Scrolling through 160 error codes on a laptop and guessing what the real issue could be was hard for the guy with years experience working with the cars, I doubt if you buy a especially bad example you'd actually fix it. That was an especially bad example, But it was common range rovers came in with electrical faults that would be in the shop for close to a week while the whole interior had to come out to check wiring harnesses and old corroded connectors, Seems the problem is mainly daignostics though, One wire goes bad you get 20+ faults. one fuse burns out you get the same. So it can be a simple fix, its just luck. Also the amount of special tooling jag/landrover uses is just diabolical there are some mechanical issues you just wont fix as a home mechanic if you're not pulling engines or can find the tooling.

I've owned my 2015 BMW 650xi Gran coupe for 6 years. Still no serious mechanical issues. I've replaced a single o2 sensor. And a driveshaft bushing. Car still rides incredibly smooth and is a beast on the highway

The only gran turismos with an automated manual were the MC stradales and a few other special low quantity models, the vast majority of GT had the zf automatic torque converter box which is very reliable, the GT was probably one the more reliable expensive luxury coupe from europe of that era, not too fast but not that problematic to own 😅

Donut is literally talking about the S8 when i’ve been saving for one 😐 now i’m never gonna afford that car 😐

Instantly knew the Granturismo would be on here

The supercharged V-6 in the F-type is really reliable. It has one common coolant leaking issue that requires the supercharger to be removed to replace the part, but nothing a backyard mechanic couldn't do. And if it's already been replaced with the updated part or a metal one, issue solved. I have the same engine in my Jaguar XF and I've never had an issue.

Bought a 650i convertible used. Around 38,000 miles on it. Actually, got a lot of complements. BUT, N63 nicked named the hot v, puts the twin turbs in the valley of the v8 block. This had a tendency to dry rot the hoses, keeps the turbos in a hot environment, which caused catastrophic engine failures. I had zero issues with the engine for the time I owned the car. Likes to eat oil so you are adding oil in between changes. But the reason I sold the car was the electronics issues. I had the radio reset on me twice, but the alarm would go off randomly. The only way that you could turn the alarm off was to have the key fob open the driver's door and start the car. Turn it back off did not arm the alarm and fifteen minutes later its going off. Do the same things. Alarm wouldn't go off again until the next night. Then the next day while at work. After a couple months a couple oil changes and fearing for the doom of the motor I had enough and traded that car in. For a Cadillac ATSV!

3 weeks ago I bought a mint 2014 Prius for only $1k to use as a commuter instead of pushing my heavily modified Tacoma towards 200k. It was the best financial car decision I ever made. Sometimes it just pays off being very nice to your retired neighbors.

I rented a room from a guy who bought a Mercedes SL600 v12 hard top convertible for 5k when he bought the house. after he bought it, the guy gave him a maintenance folder (good sign) and the receipts so far were OVER 100,000 DOLLARS. Msrp was like 130k , this car had 230k into it for 153k miles RIDICULOUS.

The 650 Gran Coupe is probably the best looking BMW has ever made. Just a tune and downpipes and it's capable of mid 10s at 130MPH. Xdrive versions with a tune can do 0-60 in less than 3 seconds easy.

I've always believed in the "you get what you pay for" principle. Even if they're cheap upfront, the maintenance costs are a nightmare.

For the first 100k miles of a bmw, it’s drivers car After that point, it’s the mechanics car edit: not all the bmw guys replying about their 15 year old cars with a bajillion miles lmao. My civic will out last you all!

I have had a 2013 BMW 640i for about 7 years. got it used with 20k miles on it and for 7 years I put 80k miles on it and for the first time in 7 years I had to replace the water pump (which I did myself). I only had to do maintenance and replace flat tires from road garbage. other than that this car has been a gem. It's been so good that when I get a new car, I might buy another one.

My old auto teacher was really into importing English cars, showed me this English website. I found a 2004 Continental for 10k gbp

As someone who's owned that era of Land Rover, run far, far away. Those "electrical issues" basically mean every electronic component in the vehicle is going bad constantly, and because it's a Range Rover there's a LOT of electronic components and gizmos. The air suspension is iffy at best, and be prepared to constantly be replacing control arms and brakes. Oh, and did I mention the 14 MPG? Hope you like spending most of your paycheck on gas. The L322 is more reliable than a P38 (the prior generation), but that's a bar so low worms can get over it. The Jaguar engine era Range Rovers are supposed to have more reliable engines, but those BMW-era engines are really, really sketchy. And those "vacuum leaks" they talk about with the Bentley are why it's so cheap. Specifically, one vacuum line behind the engine that is used to control the turbos, and is notorious for getting brittle and shattering. The only way to fix that is, as they say, to move one or two things out of the way. Unfortunately, that one thing is the entire front subframe, and that's at Bentley mechanic prices. Be prepared to spend more on fixing that issue than you paid for the car.

I bought a 17k used bmw 550i V8 twin turbo 2012 model with 87000 miles on it (manual transmission). In the last 2 years of ownership I've only done oil changes and fixed one leaking coolant pipe myself for 200 dollars in parts. Other than that I've driven it daily to work and had no issues at all. I'm trying to get the n63 high score, it crossed 100k miles problem free.

135K on my 2015 650 only major issue so far was at 103K new radiator and now I need a oil cooler at 135K miles other than that regular maintenance

2:04 As an owner of a maserati from 2005, which has the same trans as the 08, the f1 trans just needs to be treated right, only shifting in the manual mode, putting it in neutral if you are at a long red light, and taking your foot off the accelerator when shifting, ive done most of the work to this car with my dad and weve had a blast driving it. the time spent working on it pays off in the end trust me. the sound, the high rpms, it all results in a beautiful car. i haven't heard of anyone spending 5k unless they take it to maserati and treat it like a toyota. its a high performance italian car with its quirks and that should be considered when buying one

As an advocate for the W204 C63 - I think they’re not as bad as their reputation. I daily drifted mine up to 117,000 miles and outside of regular maintenance and one melted trans pan gasket on a rally, it never let me down. Ever. And seriously, I went through 2-3 sets of tires weekly.

As a Brit, can fully confirm Range Rover. Always seeing them broken down, even the new ones while I'm flying past in a 20 year old E46 touring with 200k being smug as hell.

Wrong about the head bolts in the C63. I used to own a 2012 and from 2012-2015 AMG fixed the problem and there was a recall for the head bolts. The problem was the head bolts were just made incorrectly. It’s an amazing engine. You guys make it sound like it has a major problem.

12:21 I remember test driving a 2015 BMW 650i xDrive GranCoupe back in 2018 and it had a check engine light 😂

I have a 2014 M6. Zero maintenance costs except for scheduled maintenance (which MUST be performed). Very reliable, well-made and beautiful car. However, I paid $70k for it back in 2016. Make sure that all maintenance has been done.

Does Nissan know their fancy new truck is being advertised on a video titled "Don't Buy These"? 😆

When I was in high school kids in their bmws laughed at me for driving in a Corolla, parents bought them a older model used bmw. One of their cars started smoking one day after school as I passed by them and it felt amazing as they watched me go by.

8:09 those air suspension systems, there's a company (forget the names, there's multiple) that makes a coilover conversion kit for the rear, that removes the airbag and then put a coil spring and mount in its place. They're super easy to install, there's a rover group near me and I did the conversion on probably 9 of them so far. They all claim its a great upgrade!

As a F10 M5 owner, I would specify that yes the N63 is the one they are talking about, the later years 2014 and up are N63TU and most of these issues were fixed. Go with the 2014+ M6 or M5 instead it has the S63TU which all issues have been solved and engines are more reliable with the cars hitting 120k miles often. Only draw back is you are not willing to do the maintenance yourself (oil changes, spark plugs) then yes dont get it as you will get ripped off by stealerships.

I have an '09 Porsche Cayenne GTS. The original sticker was $83k, but I got it a few years ago for $17k - I love how luxury cars depreciate! I save $$$ by doing my own work - I've had to change the water pump, thermostat, idler pulleys, and tensioner when the serpentine belt broke (my bad) - and I now am changing the CV axle (actually doing whole front end while I'm in there, as it will be a lot easier to do it all at once - control arms, tie rod ends, sway bar link). Even so, that only amounts to about $500 / year, which is not terrible - and this car is designed to be worked on. I do not like the 14MPG from the V8 - but it is a fun car, both on the track (with summer tires) and on logging roads in the snow in MT (with snow tires).

I was looking for an Audi A7 facelift (2014-2017) with either the 2.0tfsi or the 3.0 TDI, but since I want the quattro traction system I'm looking for the 3.0tdi with about 250hp because here in Italy we have way too many taxes on vehicles. Is it a good deal?

As an East cost guy, I appreciate you driving around Inglewood and passing SoFi @13:48 and the Forum @14:06. Dope!

The amg c63 headbolt problem was remedied halfway thru 2011. The problem was they were allen head leaving little material between the bolt and socket on the head of the bolt. They then updated to hex head bolts i do believe. Its a good buy. Watch alexs videos over it on his channel legit street cars. He used to be a mercedes tech. Ive learned alot watching his videos.

Great info! If only i could afford 98 cent canned macaroni from walmart

i bought my m6 competition gran coupe 3 years ago. paid 50 flat in cash and havent had any major issues since. replaced a lot of baked rubber seals under some trim parts, broken LED door jam light, couple other interior bits, but overall i'd say its like 1200/yr ish in maintenance. Love the thing. Previous owner was super meticulous with it -- always on time with service but got it polished wayyyyyyyyyy too much to where the clear coat was destroyed so i did put like 6k into paint but don't really consider that to be the car's fault. again, comes down to how much money you have and how handy you are. for perspective, i make over a quarter million and do most of my car work myself but no way can i do engine-out at my place; so when that s63 does give me issues, i'll be spending 15-20 on a total rebuild since its gotta come out anyways for most major repairs.

For one the knob in the middle of the two dashboard air vents works not just to open and close the air but also to heat and cool the system. -so first be sure that the simple knob is rotated to show blue instead of red... then in my case a belt connected to the compressor seemed to have failed due to me trying to blast cold air with the middle heater knob on... so changing that is expensive. Also it blew a simple fuse...

My coworker Cummins came from range Rover in new jersey. His dealer was one of the importers. He would talk about the cargo ships that would show up with new cars that were driven on, that has to be towed off because they had too many codes to fix in the docks. He always said it was 10 to 20 percent

I was on the lookout for an M5, then came across a SL55 AMG. Bought it... broke down after 50 miles. Thank God...I had sweet talked the owner for a 200 miles, 5 days personal warranty (he agreed because I was in college). Finally settled with a 3500 bucks outback (yes I was in Colorado).

I used to drive the H2 stretch limousine back in the early 2000s. We got paid a lot extra to drive that thing, but it was so awful to drive, I preferred making less money and driving a regular stretch. For one thing, you couldn’t turn the front wheels unless it was actually in motion. It had power steering, it just didn’t work unless it was moving. Parking was awful. And God help you if you had to pick someone up in the Fairfax District on those little narrow streets. You basically could not turn. One cool thing was that if you were coming south on the 405 from the valley, when you got to the top of the hill in the Sepulveda pass, you didn’t have to touch the gas pedal again until you got down to Santa Monica Boulevard. Inertia man

I have a friend of the 2011 Maserati Gran Turismo that she bought brand new. She keeps in the garage, it's a convertible, it's got about 40,000 miles on it now. It's very beautiful and it's never skip the beat on her

It's always the best looking ones that cause the most trouble

Donut guys - we love you. But there's a lot of misinformation with the Maserati and Gran Turismo in general. it takes less than 5 minutes to Google that most first Gen Gran Turismos have ZF 6 speed autos in the US. It's a torque converter automatic so there's no clutch replacement. The people that own or have owned the "first Gen" 2008-2013 Quattroporte and Gran Turismos know that they are actually extremely reliable. I owned an 08' QP and daily'd it for 3 years. Covered 40k+ miles and never replaced anything other than normal consumables, and 1 window regulator. Don't get a duo select, and don't get an MC shift car and enjoy trouble free driving with one of the best sounding V8's to ever grace the earth.

we know someone who has put 125k miles on a 2014 Maserati GT convertible with zero issues. He drives it every day and mostly on the freeway. The guys at the dealer said daily driving them and pushing it is what makes them last

5 years ago.57 Hemi Grand Cherokee 2008 for 1500.00 with a dented passenger rear door bought for150.00 from the scrap yard right clolour bolted it on . Truck looks perfect runs great other than change the oil It cost me nothing to own now.

Bought an 07 550i BMW with 90k miles on it, had a code for cam shaft crankshaft correlation and some dark dark transmission fluid. I fully rebuilt the entire engine piece by piece with OEM BMW parts, rebuilt the ZF transmission piece by piece with all OEM parts, and after 1k miles the transmission went out of gear without any abnormal noises and hasnt been able to get back into gear since. Unfortunately taking it to a scrapyard in a few weeks. It was such an amazing journey but such an unfortunate ending. It had a 4.8L N62 V8. I didnt do any mods to the engine or transmission i just wanted a brand new drivetrain. First build ive ever done that drastically failed

My bmw 6 series has given me no major issues after owning it for 5 years from 7k miles to 120k. Its been tuned since 50k miles as well, maintenance is KEY.

Late 2000s E klasse is where it's at. My friend drives a 2008 E klass wagon, is the 4th owner, lives on the village, daily drives it on dirt road, pulling trailers with the eu hook... The thing is a monster

Owned a TT, Boxster, Cayman, 997 4S, C63, by far the Maserati Granturismo with the ZF was the car with the least mechanic visits, most elegant, beastly presence and sounds symphonic.

The reason the Maserati GT took so little time to develop is that it was based on a discarded Alfa Romeo project. So, no, it didn't take 9 months.

My boy has that same BMW with hybrid turbos, a tune, and a few other mods and has been dead reliable. The key is being able to do some of the work yourself and/or having a good independent mechanic that doesn’t care if you bring parts (just don’t be cheap and compensate them). RU-vid and forums are the gift that keeps on giving. Just don’t buy a car you can’t afford to repair or repair yourself.

In 2019, I bought a $10K 2006 Porshe Cayenne with only 27K miles, and I love it. So far, only routine maintenance. Last month, I bought a 05 Audi A6 with only 32K miles for $8.5K, and I love it!!!! Both cars have clean titles!!! If you do your homework and follow routine maintenance you find some great bargains out there.

Those continentals have an issue where the vacuum hoses that go over the transmission break and you get misfires and to repair them you have to remove the engine. Everything on those is engine out.

I have a 17 Jaguar XE that has that supercharged 3.0. Love the car it has over 90K now and as long as you swap some plastic coolant tubing with an aluminum kit(which is the coolant leak issues James mentioned) it’s proven to me it’s strong. I’ve been in love with my jag

I got a 07 Alpina B7 for 20k and dropped 15k for a new motor. Still the best and fastest car I have ever had. Could have bought a Hellcat but no one has these and it's unique.

I have a 2014 Audi a6 3.0t prestige no major problems besides the outer left taillight went dim I replaced that the motor for the flip up screen went out so I just keep the screen up not really worried about that the Mmi functions regardless screen still turns on it just don’t go back in it’s lil hole when I turn the car off….routine oil changes done by me and just had the brakes done no other issues and I’m just hitting 100k miles tons of aftermarket parts tho tuned by intergrated engineering and bought some 20in rs6 rims to put on it she running strong and still gets mistaken as a newer model car 😂

a friend of mine actually had a s8 with over 500.000km, and he only got some minor electrical faults in 7 years of ownership. failed engine mounts and an oil leakage sealed its fate at the end.

People sometimes call me a fake car guy...but having worked in car sales, car insurance adjusting, car logistics...I cannot look at fancy cars without simply seeing the "long term" costs of everything. Every single "fancy" bit on your car...is a $5K (if not more) nightmare waiting to happen. It was a consistent trend when I was writing cars, adding a piece to my software and my jaw-dropping, thinking "Holy crap...that piece costs how much!?". I can appreciate fancy cars, and some people who have the money/time/interest to dedicate to keeping them serviced and running properly...but 90% of these cars are "eyes too big for stomach" purchases and end up being absolutely thrashed and abused. While I have the money to go and buy something nice...I just stick to simple, low-end, manual transmission cars, and let the other people spend the big bucks :D

Crazy part about the Beamer is you can get M6s of that gen for Around the same price, maybe like 5k-10k more

From what I remember looking into the AMG forums about the 6.2 head bolts issue happens fairly soon in an engine's life so mileage is a good thing. Many don't have the faulty head bolts.

Woop, 2008 Range Rover L322 3.6TDV8 owner here. I've been a fan of those cars for many years, so here are a few quick tips to get prospective buyers going. If you rather save a bit of cash than get the latest and greatest, get the 1st facelift, those are from 2006 - 2009. The fanciest are the 2nd facelift - from 2009 to 2012. The later one doesn't have anything that important in terms of extra features, it basically swaps some lights with LEDs, updates a bit the infotainment system, and adds keyless start. Considering how much more the 2nd facelift tends to cost, I'd say it isn't worth it. Either way, I recommend replacing the infotainment screen with 10" one, they are sold all over ebay / aliexpress / etc for about 400 USD and are straightforward to install. You'll get basically an android tablet that fits as if it was OEM, and it wireless Android Auto / Apple CarPlay. Makes the car feel a lot more modern in my opinion. If you want reliability and fairly cheap repairs, go for the 3.6 TDV8. It has good reputation and is the most common engine on the L322 so parts and mechanics that know them are fairly easy to find. The 4.4 TDV8 is the second best option, but if you need to rebuild / replace the engine - you'll probably have a bad time... Decent 3.6 engines can be found 2nd hand for about 2-3k USD, 4.4s go for two-three times more... at least in Europe, but that probably applies for everywhere because most L322 were sold with the 3.6 TDV8. That being said, the 2009-2012 4.4 TDV8 are the only ones that come with the 8 speed ZF, the rest of 1st & 2nd facelift come with a 6 speed ZF, which is pretty good and reliable to be honest, and it's not like the car is loud on the motorway / highway. Early models (up to 2006), like the BMW engine model mentioned in this video, come with a 5 speed transmission - avoid that, it's not good at all... Better to avoid all L322 that are pre facelift (before ~mid 2006). There are a few other engines available, the top of the line being the 5.0L supercharged petrol available from 2009 to 2012 (2nd facelift). Their major issue is with the timing chain, supposedly the tensioners give out and the engine dies if you don't catch it on time and fix it. With some preventative measures, they are supposedly fairly reliably considering the power output, but again - repairs ain't cheap on those. There are a few range rover specific forums out there, they are a great source of information. I recommend you start digging in those for tips on how to spot a good car before you start looking to buy one.

I bought a $10k BMW 550i. It has the highly problematic N63TU. The only reason I was comfortable buying it was because the dealer said they'd give me a warranty. Which has come in handy five times in the two years I've had it. It's had well over $10k worth the mechanic bills already. It's a great and fun car, but do not buy one without a warranty.

another big problem with them land rovers is they have a small battery behind the dash for those certain electrical issues if that little battery dies (which it does roughly every 6 months) we have to remove the ENTIRE dash just to get access to it

Came back to re-watch this. Noticed the F-type says in the add "used like new" with a salvage title😂

Back in the mid 2000s I wanted a v8 awd and I didn't have enough money to buy new. There were a ton of audi a8s for under 5 k with just over 100k miles on them. It turns out that around 125k the transmission would go out like clockwork and cost more than the car was worth to fix

If you have to "impress your friends" with a car you probably shouldn't have those "friends."

As a rural resident of Missouri, that BMW was not beat up, I call that luxury, for comparison, I drive a 1998 mercury grand marquee LS, I LOVE that car.

Something a former BMW tech told me was that the standard N63 motor is close to the S63 ///M version, but remember the ///M S63 motor was designed for High Speed, Nurburgring track conditions so it has better cooling, and most of the N63 issues stems from the lack of cooling or thermal management.

I love your nissan ads. Every single time I get to know a little bit more about their offerings which is so rare these days because Nissan is not feature in most channels.

the headbolt issue on the C63 was found out to be only 2% of the engines. now the camshaft phasers and such are definitely bound to be needing repairs and they fixed that issue on the 2012+ models

LOL being the proud owner of a new to me 650i this felt extremely personal. Runs like a dream though 2 years so far 80k miles no issues at all.

I own i bmw 650ixdrive coupe its been super reliable only part i changed was the gas pedal $200 fix i also drive it hard you just got to keep up with the oil changes i do it once evrey 6 months

i bought a 2011 CL550 with 11k original miles for $34k last year - original window sticker was $128k and just last week a 2013 S65 with 22k original miles for $43k ($230k original sticker) - had both PPI’d…neither needed a thing besides wiper blades and a new rear tires on the 65. Lots of great deals to be had if you do your due diligence.

I love my w204 c63! That said the M156 head bolt issue applies to ALL M156 equipped vehicles before sometime in 2011. All M156 cars 2012 or later do not have any worry about the head bolt issue

Bro that Zumiez commercial was so sick. Donut rules

2007 and up Maserati GranTurismos did NOT have the F1 transmission. They came with a 6 speed automatic made by ZF. Turned out to be really good.

I agreeeeeee: I bought a 650 from Carmax, and 2 month later, it had a bad Electronic Module failure, then it had several drive Terran errors, and it ended up costing 30K to fix, I swear, the dealer refused to fix it, CarMax refused to fix it, they said it’s better to sell it as salvaged but insurance refused the idea,

You can actually fix the headbolt issue on the C63 with a kit by changing them for what is used on later model year cars. which doesn't have the issue.

Thank you for your content. I cant believe the luck. I was going to order a air ride suspension from your store today for my 2012 Maserati GranTurismo S, but your review was so incorrect and totally not the experience I have had with my car for the last 4 years. The automatic does not have a clutch only the z manual transmission does, so you do not have to change a clutch pack out in the auto. I live in Alaska and have driven my car 70k miles back and forth from California to Anchorage on the Alaska Hwy, twice now. I will say the Ak Hwy is the best video game ever and the reason why I bought a touring car that in some places I have reached 185 mph. And time tracked my best 150 mph speed for 12 mins in cruise control. Its is so reliable I have added many formula dynamic aftermarket parts to for because this car costs me nothing to maintain. It does 4.6 s in the 1/4mile not 5.0, it has been tuned to 500 hp with simple add on stage1 controller, exhaust mods, air intake and sport cats. I added upgraded sway bars, lowering springs and hub centric spacers. Cheapest car I have ever owned for the power and performance plus the reliability. I do all the upgrades and oil changes, dif oil change, new brakes, plus the 50k tune-up service myself in my garage, and I am no mechanic. V8's are easy to work on and this car is so simple to maintain. So next time talk to real owners who have the cars and drive them hard like they should to get good facts. Sorry but I will get my air ride direct from manufacture. l

Was the headbolt issue on the c63 a recall type of fix or just a out of pocket fix

Had BMWs since the 80s, fabulous cars and the early ones now collectable, treated myself to an M6, amazing looking car and great to drive until problems, wet trunk area, limp mode on most trips out until loads spent on electrics, got rid and now loving and still got my second BMW now 30 years old and runs like a dream AND does not cost a lot in parts and maintenance! Great video guys and some great cars shown, until as you rightly say, they go wrong!

My dad had a 2012 650i convertible he bought in 2016. I loved that car, sounded great, incredibly comfortable, looked fantastic imo (black over saddle tan) and powerfully quick but not in a show-off way. Needed a lot of maintenance though--top had issues once, one of the wheels cracked, oil sensor problems... when the mechanic finally told him all the hoses etc. were looking like they needed to be replaced he sold it sight unseen to carvana at the height of that craziness for basically what he paid for it 😂

My boy lost some weight damn

What about the M6/B6…are they any more reliable? They are getting affordable and have decent performance stock, if you are just spending money on Maintenance are they more reliable?

Got a 2013 320i 60k miles and only thing i needed to do was turbo oil feed line And all cars with timing chain should be checked every 9 yrs so while your checking just replace it Non issue

2007 E63 wagon owner here. The M156 head bolt issue is overblown. Mechanic has inspected the factory head bolts and found them to be fine. Valvetrain wear issue is overblown too, my oil analysis are still perfection at over 100,000 miles. What people don't talk about enough is the cost of a front brake job. Those 2 piece rotors are insanely expensive. Also it eats rear tires but that is the driver's fault.

I only half expected a hot, shirtless Pennywise coming into this video. With donut, you never know

I’ve seen so many 650i’s have issues, I’ve seen people spend $10k plus on issues when they come in the shop. Some of the biggest issues are the comfort access door handles internally short and blow the fuse which is also the fuse for the abs module. They all leak oil, even when you think you’ve fixed the leak they’ll leak from some where else. Turbo coolant lines are a headache and a 10hr job alone that’s really common. Valve stem seals are so common bmw has a class action against them for it and recently I’m starting to see the fuel pumps and modules going out intermittently causing random no starts or rough running issues. IF you have to buy an F12 6 series DO NOT get the 650i for your wallets sake. Get the 640i with the N55 it’s the same interior and body with a more reliable engine

Picked up a 13' Alpina B7 for 14k. Has the N63TU with alpinas upgrades so its actually a "reliable" motor and again its a damn alpina, the drive is unmatched and I love the thing. Been working on restoring it like all the worn interior bits etc.

The Gran Tourismo was only an issue when optioned with the "F1" transmission. When optioned with the "ZF" automatic it's very reliable and a pleasant ownership/driving experience for the price

If you're looking for a L322 Range Rover , stick to something between 2007-2009, they had the Jaguar 4.4L V8 and the 4.2L Supercharged V8 engines. Both mated to a 6 speed ZF transmission. 2006 did have the same drivetrain but still had the some BMW issues like the earlier years. Avoid the 4.4L BMW engine in the earlier models with the 5 speed GM transmission and the 5L Jaguar V8 in the 2010+ models which had timing chain tensioner issues.

Key point you missed with the issues with the Jag, the simple coolant hose leaks, requires either a partial or full engine drop to replace and even with factory new hoses are good for about 30k miles, and of course they intersect with oil passages. Take a wild guess at what happens with coolant and oil mix

Hey donut my dream car is a 97-00’ bmw 740il is it worth it? Or a money pit. Ik the rep bmw had around then wasn’t perfect but

8:26 I would love to see a $25k Jaguar Ftype vs $25K modded Honda S2000 video series from you guys! that would be so badass!
