I Bought a Cheap BMW E90 To Prove Everyone Wrong About Cheap BMWs

In this video we pick up a 2006 BMW 325xi for only $600 after casually scrolling FB Marketplace. The ultimate goal, if we can get it running and driving safely, is to take it out racing at rally cross event. BMWs, especially cheap ones, get a bad rep for being poorly maintained, hiding expensive repairs, and unreliable. Can David come out of this relatively unscathed? Did he get a good deal? Let us know in the comments what you think and if it survived its first rally cross event.

Guys, Think you are hittin' "It" on this one. People who would watch these want to see exactly what you detailed. Codes, Fixes, Engine/Chassis Repairs. This is a very well done DIY inspirer! Got ME fired up. Former Beemer owner Jon should really like this. Thumbs up! Hi to Dad.

Thanks Stew, we are really trying hard to keep things as relatable as possible and to act as an inspiration for others to try it out for themselves.

Enjoyable video where you faced, and resolved, real world issues of a used car that has a dubious record. The current 3.7K subscribers list doesn't do justice to this channel. I hope you will keep at it, with quality videos like this, and for you to get the number this channel deserves. Good Luck! -- Selangor, Malaysia

Makes me miss my E91! Good save on this car. Your misfire could also be very related to the valve cover gasket too. I had that issue since there could be air getting through.

@Dan_And_Daves_Garage 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the tip! I'll make sure to stop putting off the valve cover gasket and do it as soon as possible

@sachekrishnaraj9729 4 месяца назад

nice project! thought id mention that it looks like you installed the inner brake pad on the outside 13:48. also replace that valve cover gasket asap, luckily being prelci you have the metal valve cover.

@Dan_And_Daves_Garage 4 месяца назад

Good eye, I did make that mistake and caught it before my on road test drive. I was just hoping no one would notice lol.

@mrnicktoyou 2 месяца назад

I just bought a cheap e90 325i as well and mine is in amazing condition in comparison. It's clean and barely a scratch on it. I just had to replace the Vanos Solenoids and check valves and also one ignition coil. Still cost a bit of money (parts aren't cheap) but the car is almost flawless now and I love driving it.

@Dan_And_Daves_Garage 2 месяца назад

Good find! Hopefully it doesn't give you any problems and you can keep enjoying it

@homer23422000 4 месяца назад

I had an E36 328i that was fun, but something was always breaking on it. For rallycross, it looks like you will need to give it a 1" lift minimum to handle off-road racing. I did one rallycross event a few years back, it was a good time.

@Dan_And_Daves_Garage 4 месяца назад

I was really trying hard to find an E36 but this one came up so I had to get it. For rally cross, I'm competing in the stock AWD class, and suspension mods aren't allowed in it, otherwise I'd do a small lift.

My first thing is always to detail a cheap car and get it looking best as I can so it seems worth it to fix it up lol

@Dan_And_Daves_Garage Месяц назад

Detailing a crusty car is an instant value add that only takes some elbow grease and cleaning supplies. Also makes cars so much easier to sell when it comes time.

@ignacioromero5014 3 дня назад

If that how you're going to treat it, instead of bringing back? then all that missing is are the liquor bottles.

@Dan_And_Daves_Garage 3 дня назад

I'd argue that it's still in much better hands under my ownership than the previous owner.

I have never understood why people put seat covers over a leather seat ( Yes i know this is vinyl not leather but still ) My OCD is very triggered by how dirty the engine bay is! In regards to the weird deposit on the Spark plugs, It is from wrong grade fuel. Probably been on 87 its entire life

@Dan_And_Daves_Garage 4 месяца назад

The fuel grade probably tracks, people buy a luxury car but don't want to pay luxury prices for maintenance and running the car.

@y0Special 4 месяца назад

just ruined the new spark plugs by not replacing the valve cover gasket mate.

@Dan_And_Daves_Garage 4 месяца назад

As I said in the video, future me problem. Didn't really have the time to do the gasket before the rally cross event but it's on the short list to do now.

@Dan_And_Daves_Garage 2 месяца назад

I've never used Carly or any of the phone apps so I can't say if it's better or not. As long as you can get live readings from sensors, generic DTCs and brand specific DTCs, that should cover 90% of the use cases for normal people.

Noted on the 2nd gear syncho. Definitely chose the N52 over the N54 because of all the headaches people get with it. Wouldn't mind a 335 but I'd definitely get one that is in much better condition to limit the amount of damage to the wallet
