I Bought a BMW M5 V10 with "NO MECHANICAL ISSUES" Sight Unseen. It Came with a Loud Engine Noise??? 

Here we see the V10 M5 in its natural state, with the engine removed

Lmao 😂 good one

Dam now that right there's funny I don't care who you are!

dubstepsickness 😭😭

Yeah, it's Patsy from Absolutely Fabulous!

Now that's a good one

Laughing at first and then crying from exhaustion.

😂

WTF???

That’s like a $1300-$1500 kit just for parts and most people can’t do that job themselves if we’re honest about it, so it’s basically a $2500 job with labor and that’s pretty expensive for a 80k mile maintenance. This car is meant for people with money, and the people with enough money to drive and maintain these cars would probably just buy something newer and more reliable.

I’ll take my 97 accord any day. It’s slow, but it’s pretty comfy and very reliable.

@@EvilTurkeySlices Great comparison 🤣

Lol...@@sr20vett

Yeh true. But they are basically F1 related tech put into a production saloon car. They need regular high maintenance, that reflects the initial purchase price when new.

The place that I argue is that the mercedes is so much better. They are both crap, but if you want a really reliable car you buy a camry.

Keep your AMGs lol

You have to pay to play, I have a M5 that is down right now with a SMG issue. I love the car, hate the maintenance issues “ rod bearings “. But no one else made a engine like this. If I would have held out for a manual car, it would take half the issues away. Amazing cars, just wish they didn’t have the issues they do.

With a car like this, buy the best one you can and it will be fine. On RU-vid, they are buying dogs and saying they are all the same, it's just not true.

It’s symbolic as this car will never get to be a butterfly 😂

@@y2ksierra nah its because it'll probably get crushed by a Caterpillar

Should come with a lifetime membership to a tow truck service. Make Carly built in and mount a tablet on the dash to keep track of all codes

The logo is a warning sign.

Caterpillar crossing sign needed.

Vanos is the cause for the rod bearing failures as it lowers oil pressure to dangerous levels

makes no difference because you are going to have to do them both, lol.

SMG pumps *waves hand*

When I did my rod bearings, my shop replaced the vanos line and only charged me for the part

Honestly the rod bearings only cost 2500 to replace..now the smg on the other hand 😂

Or like I do at Harbor Freight.

I think he secretly buys them at Costco through a special Samcrac buyers plan with 5% back when he charges it on a credit card.

webnothing for the rich fosure because if it breaks they don’t care they’ll just throw money at kt

Rich is laughing

and still makes a drama witch feeds him very well

@webnothing They are status symbols, and are purely purchased as that. If they break under warranty the owner gets to drive a loaner. They hardly keep this cars pass the warranty anyway, and that's how they stay rich.

@webnothing yes that is exactly what they are made for

Oh we know lol

2 months continously wrenching on it later...and the check engine light is still on.

It is all fixable but at what cost. Also the car had `no mechanical issue`..

Order a crank from now lol

@@udovdh YEAp, They meant to say that it had too many issues, but definitely not one singular issue.🤣👍

That’s one out 15 issues fixed 😅

No no no don't start fixing things 🤐

bch

what does full lock mean ? thanks ! 07 m6 owner here

@@thelastsaiyan6631 turn the steering wheel all the way left until it wont turn no more, then all the way right

A V10 M5 to boot. No way there was going to be zero issues.

Maybe for the V10 M5. My E39 530i has been trouble free since I bought it two years ago. All I’ve had to do was replace the gas cap when it threw a code for an emissions leak

brian hume no one wants a bmwburger everyone in Europe usually have a reliable German car Americans can’t treat cars

Well it depends, BMWs from the 90s and early 2000s are usually very reliable, often more reliable than Mercs and Audis from that era. They were built very solid, no squeaks, no rattles, and a driving experience that wasn't interfered by a thousand computers, but they still have OBD2 and lots of other modern touches. Arguably the best cars to ever come out of germany

@@gitaarmovies2003 Very true but they started to get less and less reliable, especially with the M's after the mid 2000's

Me too.. Perfect car to learn something from a BMW master and good for a couple of videos.

if the Car Ninja had seen Samcrac with this car coming, he would have made a sign "moved to unknown destination"

torquemada67 that car could put car ninja’s kids trough college!!!!

@@briancabrera1656 and buy him a bigger house/new one a bigger shop plus 10 grand spending money

Neil Murphy or buy a both like the wizard!

eventually he dumped it and is still running.

I'm new to BMW, just bought my first ever bmw two weeks ago. Why are people saying it's crazy for them to go 160k miles? Are they referring to just the M5 or bmw in general? The one I bought (an E90 320D from 2005) has gone 220k miles and it just got its yearly check with no mechanical issues. My reverse lights aren't working but other than that it runs just fine. Am I in for a bad time?

@@F30_Hellion I guess everybody has a relative definition of «no mechanical issues». I once stepped inside a car similar to yours, 2008 325i, and the driver thought his car was in perfect conditions; I noticed the engine was making a terrible valve/camshaft noise, the rear suspensions were done, the transmission was jerky and there was a very noticeable rolling vibration. Not all BMW are bad, but they are all very reliable money pits.

@@F30_Hellion tik tok tik tok that's not the engine ticking, it's the final countdown. Good luck keep your wallet healthy. By the way did you anylise the car with a decent anylizer, to check and see how many fault codes are hiding in your computer? (Stored).

@@jamesjames3525 No I did not I don't have access to that kind of stuff. The only thing I had to go after was the receipts from the shop that changed/fixed stuff. 3 years ago they changed parts for about $3000. New turbo, waterpump, transmission and lots of other stuff I can't translate. And earlier this year they bought brand new breakdiscs and pads along with the standard service and yearly check up (the paper was clean). Obviously the car will not last me a lifetime but I bought it for $2700 and its been driven by an old lady for like 7 years and been serviced at BMW at the correct intervals. If I can drive it for two years without any major issues I honestly think I got my moneys worth. I'm not very well off and a car like this has been my dream for years and I'm so happy with it. If shit comes up I'll deal with it because that's what you get with cars of this age and for this price. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

This video and many others are why I’ll never own a BMW.

im thinking it was for the cigarette smoke he mentioned, regardless the auction clearly lied through their teeth

@@joshcoulson7659 Also altered odometer.

Aitor Bleda yes but that code didn’t return after the code reset

@@joshcoulson7659 from personal experience...if you want to buy a sportscar...buy it from a person that you know, or best of all...buy it new.

@@joshcoulson7659 for example...you have all these RU-vidrs trashing brand new Supras and C8s...after their are done with them, they return it back to stock, and leave again on the dealer. Ready for another person to buy...thinking they are buying a well care car from a dealer.

I bought a 300zx from a guy who would spray black ice in it every day. Since then I've always referred to it as BLACK ASSSSS

Steven at Eurocharged has a contagious smile and is the kind of tech who makes people comfortable (even over a video). I bet he has many loyal customers.

That’s hilarious...my e39 M5 had two hanging in the mirror, I smelled that shit for weeks!

He has already bought a V10 M5 a couple months ago with a Manual transmission and is waiting to work on it.

Yeah man he lready got an M5 I don't think he wants another one but he is a great youtuber

Was going to say the same thing but it's nothing very special, mainly because it's an auto. I mean if he wants everything done right and would pay him then sure

He is literally the best I just came here from his channel I wish he uploaded more often

@@clonetrooper576 he is balkan guy in germany so it is hard to transport.

plus rod bearing job it will be a engine out job, it will take a lot of money to do it plus timing job and vanos fix, its not worth it, bmw are complex anything that you have to do costs more because 1. there's more stuff to fix 2.theres more things to take apart

Yes

So double endless money pit

The rod bearings being bad causing low oil pressure could be the culprit.

@@TwentytenS4B8 how ? there's oil pump for vanos and also how bearings are supposed to lower the pressure to that point that it throws a code ?

I use ODIS , Abrites and VAGCOM for my Audi.

@@TwentytenS4B8 carly is a great bang for buck tool over all

Originally I thought it was a freaking DIESEL.

😂😂

@@jamesjames3525 then what kind of car guy are you

@@Disrespected36 I HAVE REBUILT THREE 90sJapenese cars. two Toyota s one Mitsubishi. I avoid tackling cars with extensive electronics. I do better with solving mechanical problems than electronic ones. When I rebuild something could take up to three years because I do interior mechanical and body gradually. hope this helps.

I know someone who had one of these from new, and his really did sound like a diesel. It's the horrific styling that I couldn't deal with though.

markiangooley One doesn’t simply parody the most awesome film ever made.

I live a few miles from where they filmed Manos, I can still hear Tom Crow ripping on it on a cold night lol

The original film was discovered in 2011. It has been cleaned up and put out on Blue Ray. It still sucks.

I noticed that too lol, good old England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Didn’t even give him credit...

I just made a similar comment and then found you beat me to it 😤

At the Wisley meet by the a3, I recognised it too

Did you do a Sam and took it back, or did you swap the engine?

I sold it for what I had in it. I did keep the connecting rod that the previous owner released from captivity as a reminder to not buy anything from Copart again.

@@christophermiller8894 sad but a fact of life.

Sam

Damn chicken farmer I want that m5 lol

Cuz it ain’t cheap to ship a car halfway around the world

The sandstorms make a car that has been parked for three days look like it's been sitting for a decade.

@@caleamus not to mention if the car doesn't carry DOT/NHSTA/EPA certification it'll never get in

@@olikat8 Yep, standards are washed away by big buckets of money.

@@jamesjames3525 to a point, then it becomes a money losing proposition

No, he takes advice from wacky-ass uncle Rich...

Uh, why is the profile pic your id?

@@SamSamuylik LOL, asking for trouble... hahaha

Nothing useful to learn from a kid born into a family that's worth in excess of $80M

itskarl1799 1835 N Eastview Dr Tucson AZ 85710 trouble

yeah im the same, i love beamers but these are sadly indefensible, no matter how cool they are

It's amazing out here

Using that garbage scan tool will not give him the accurate info needed . A real scan tool would log it automatically as to the next time he hooks it up he could see the history

I agree and I think its okay to use but I will double check with the auction next time I go. Thanks for the idea!

Doctor in Brazil is an Uber driver. Serio, verdade? Viva Brasil!

Buy citroen C-elysee instead, much more reliable than those Renaults. Buy the 1.6hdi, those are the best!

@@castrofofo True the 1.6 hdi is really a beast when it's about reliability.

@R R don't ask.

@R R and i asked you not to...

I mean that's true but also the engine had horrible Rod knock and so he didn't want to just drive it

He did he returned the car to the auction right after the inspection

@@clonetrooper576 he thinks he could make something on it, so he sending it to his local auction.

This is normal practice for those buggers. We are lambs to the slaughter.

At auction as is means as is it doesn't matter what CR says it's still red light! It's yours lol

@@krzysm5 CORRECTAMOONDO

The//M//Project Media Lot of scarring on your wallet

He has gotten lazy. Just walks around Copart yards or has someone else work on the cars. Good cameras and good editing is easy RU-vid money for him.

achance007 the cars a free from RU-vid money so why not lol

@@Alexander_l322 true. Ha ha ha.

@@achance007 Yea that's true.

@@Alexander_l322 Yes, like the free black BMW he gets from one of his fans and he never finishes it.

So true!

my e46 is mechanically perfect. the rear subframe mounts on the other hand...

They will promote him, after he off loaded this rolling pile of junk to Sam.

For some of these cars, that would be a blessing.

Just let him be. It’s okay.

I do not understand that either, making some space with gravel or sand or clay for couple of cars instead grass is not that expensive...

Carlos Armando CARLOS THIS IS NOT OK 🤣

It’s his cars. I really don’t care, honestly.

But then it'll sound like ass.

The whole point of these cars is the V-10.

@@InsaneBimmer Beats it being totally silent sitting in a junkyard.

@@brianhume4743 True, it will able to move under its own power without throwing thousands of dollars at it every month. Totally not a BMW.

You know you can buy cars that come with an LS ? No need to swap in !

Yeah hes getting really annoying, getting the status of least car working car youtuber. All he does is LOOK!, Oh it sucks, RETURN.

Listen to this man Sam, really man, just finish one. God knows you have a paddock full of delinquent cars there. Just pick one!🛺🚙🚕🦽🚲🏍🛵🛹🦼🛴🚗🤣👍

Don't listen to these kinds of videos, they buy junk and don't really know what they're looking at most of the time. I've owned plenty of BMWs without issues, BUT of course 'issues' doesn't mean you can ignore maintenance - either scheduled or age related.

...please also don't forget the monumental LAND ROVER failure....😫😫 Good vid, I agree.

@@antn537 Goes with all cars I think. Mine is 26 years old and I understand about all types of maintenance.

I would like to add that i read a good point about the misfires. Because of the heavy adjusted timing, there's a good chance it would throw a random misfire code, but ive never seen it single out specific cylinders like you have there. I think you have a mix of issues. even my 91 750il with its big lazy v12 will do random things when the fuel level is extra low.
