I Should've Listened...Another BIG Bill for my E92 M3. 

After all the work and cash that you’ve spent on it I’d keep it. I’ve had an E46 M3 CS for 17 years and put 140k miles on it. Had the odd year where several things go wrong with big £££ bills, but you get through those bad periods and enjoy it again. There’s so many more good days than bad : keep it & enjoy it👍🏼

If anything sort the front end out, those number plate holes are shocking lol

Keep it for now mate. Why spend all that cash getting it sorted for somebody else to enjoy. You'll never get all of the money you've invested back anyhow.

Sold mine for as you say, stupid costs. Which were exactly what i expected and calculated before buying, but it just wasnt worth the money. I never really enjoyed mine. Glad i owned one but stock they are flawed. I think a clubsport build might be fun. But its still a costly machine. So heavy and insulated.

I swear, if this is another one of your clickbait titles, I'm unsubscribing 0:40

I had mine 3 years and it’s been an absolute dream. All ready had about 6-7k spent on her. But that’s carbon fibre, Rod bearings and other preventatives. All I can say is don’t buy a car you can’t afford… stick to ur PCP m4s 😂 this car looks the best, sounds the best and is one of the best

I make common problem videos for BMWs to help prevent people having to spend ££££ on them.. Well worth watching them before you buy a car!

Do you really want to get a C63 Merc to replace the M3?, come to your senses mate as you've experienced these are MAJOR money pits both are and will bleed you dry.

literally no reason for you to daily this when you have a golf or something as a track car. Its really really stupid, deserve the bills

BMW is an Acronym for "BIG MONEY WORRIES". Ditch this thing while you still can and save us from another "I should have listened" video. If you keep it? Have a greet and meet somewhere and we will all line up to kick you in the balls, would be less painful than keeping this money pit haha🙄

Those holes in the front number plate recess are setting my OCD off 😂

I have a x5 40d..3.0 twin turbo sttaight six.. Rocker cover gasket was leaking. Was quoted 700 quid for new gasket fitted. Did it myself for 35 quid plus injection puller off amazon

If you bought a new car you would have spent that on finance payments and depreciation. Either way nice cars will cost you money unless you are the 1% who can buy £xxxk cars as "Investments". Just keep it and get the enjoyment out of it. I Daily the same car as you but with a manual box, it's expensive but every drive is an event :)

I bet Mummy was not happy paying this bill for you… No bitty for a while

Great cat and video. It makes me happy with what I spend. It would be financial suicide for me to run one of these and there is more to life than a flash car you are to afraid to use properly.

Thank you for documenting all this I’ve been tempted to sell my M2 and go for an E92 many times, i still think about it. But after watching this I realised there is no way I could afford to maintain one 😮

What you did: - turn the Golf R into a track car and drove the M3 daily What you should have done: - drove the Golf R daily and turned the M3 into a race car

Life is short! Enjoy the car! I have 2011 BMW E90 M3 with 124k miles! I bought it at 120k miles on an impulse buy. The amount of smiles that the car has given me. Priceless.

Awesome car but I'm in a position where the money spent on it would kill my love for it after a while

I think get rid as it’s becoming a money pit tbh! Sounds amazing but I just think it’s time for something else

Mate - jack it up and do it yourself = yep same with Focus RS mk 1 - the one thing available from ford and its £1200 lol - you can fully poly bush front back and get a decent rack for all that money - and the satisfaction of doing it yourself - you CAN do it mate !!!!

Could you get any more number plate holes in your front bumper?

I just got my rack rebuilt- they can rebuild any rack no matter the issue. £300. My labour was £170Funny you mention quarry motors. I bought a power steering pump from them for my M3 and they sent me the wrong pump then wouldn't let me return it. Not a good company

It’s a BMW.. there’s nothing more to say than that really 😅

U should ask the other guy with a high mileage M from your video why his M is so reliable….

Black wheel's on cars should be made illegal , they are ugly , on all cars ! no excuse

Keep it send it. Crazy to spend all that money for someone else to enjoy.

If you wanna drive MPower you need to pay! ;-)

I’ve just spent £20k on my 996. I was going to sell it but thought why not enjoy it. Now I’m keeping it.

Sounds like something that would stop a BMW. I have a turbo R32 Mark 4 and BMs are just too damn much to maintain. Great looking cars especially the e36. Any leak however small , especially something simple like a ps reservoir should b fixed immediately as you found out.

I BOUGHT A EVO 8 mr 340 all I have done is spend spend spend joke older cars are money pits but a lot more fun

Keep the m3 for weekends and get yourself a cheap reliable daily, ideally Japanese

Just get rid of the money pit

Rear spoiler looks like a perfect cross between OEM and performance....anyone know what it's called?

Not incessantly giggling so much in this one are you! 😂😂 I however, was laughing like **** 🤣🤣 fingers crossed something else goes wrong and it costs you even more! 🤞😂 Well done dodging the bee like a little girl though 😂😂

Sorry mate but you’re a proper drama queen. Use real oem to get correct part numbers when buying and sourcing parts. Why not get your hands dirty and do these jobs yourself. It would make much better content then just wobbling on about the car. You’d save yourself a fortune and learn a lot at the same time.

Cost over genuine enjoyment? Let it go , you’ve owned it , you’ve run it , unless you plan to get rid of all inc you merc A45 , golf etc to offset that m3 ? I’d say get rid of it !

that kind of car , is not build for long term use, you have basically taxi milage on it, no surprise things going wrong XD

Keep it because you won’t buy another one. It a little cheaper car as a daily. And only use it weekends that’s what I do Toyota Yaris my weekly runner

Nope oem rack only. Why risk it to have to possibly deal with it again = x2 work and £

Beast of a car but deep pockets needed to run one

Non M rack? Why even put it in; are the ratios lock to lock not different like every other generation?

Mate keep it. Long term its better for u. Also its a modern classic!!!!

these cars are a money pit, every month some small stuff goes wrong and parts are $$$ lol

I’ll buy it off you cheaper than it’s worth, if you want a quick sale

Keep the M3 but you need a different daily. The A45s would be a better daily than this

E39 m5 buddy pure nostalgia

That BMW ROCK SOLID reliability eh 😂

Put a ESS supercharger kit on it

Like everyone else. Keep it. Why spend loads for the next person to love it

They are too slow and getting on a bit now, time to fix and let Go.

ill swap you a honda s2000 for it 👀

This is my first visit to your page. Don’t sell it , the E92/93 or a nice looking cars and they will look nice in years to come. I will shear this , I own a E93 , during lockdown I decided I would use the time to sort my E93 out. I spent approximately £4000 on parts. I changed all the injectors, coil packs, lambda sensors, Nitro sensor, MAF sensor, EGR valve, Rocker cover, repair the Alternator and replaced Belt and Pulley, front whee bearings, replaced electric windows main control switch. Now what started this when it went in for its MOT the garage said the management light was coming and indicated the fuel pump was the problem, i give the Ok and they replaced it all was ok. Few miles later the problem return after several visits the still couldn’t resolve the problem. Covid 19 came.. Lockdown. Hence, I systematically went through everything I know that would likely to fail due to the mileage ( 80000) . It has performed beautifully since then. I am reluctant to part with this motor. I don’t drive it the winter that often. So don’t sell yours if you don’t have to .. in years to come they will be the model that many people will be wanting to own. Good luck.

Keep it OEM+ or do a clubsport build (that’s still nice to drive on the road) and save it for special occasions so running costs will be less of a worry and you’ll appreciate driving it more. Sell the A45 and get a reliable daily on the cheaper end that you can still make content on

Send it man, You'll regret it.

You have had a very costly experience. Honestly mine has only needed the typical preventatives RB's, TA's etc. I will admit, I'm always nervous something big will go wrong. But if I were you, just keep it. You will miss it.

get a BMW they said, itll be fun they said

The money pit is back!!

FYI: these M3 are horrendous for steering issues. Racks. Pumps. Leaks. High failure rate

Noticing a theme with old BMWs....reliability issues & expensive to fix

People saying keep it because you’ve spent the money, yes if you were not a RU-vidr that would be the answer but the car has to make sense for the channel too. Personally I would get rid while it’s on a attractive mileage still, it’s had all the typical jobs done plus extra mods/bits which make it a 10/10 example. If the car covered it’s own costs in content then yes keep but I doubt it does. Unless you plan on turning it into some supercharged monster?

Get rid of it, Luke... #MoneyPit

I was luck enough to just have the throttle actuators problem, with my M3. I now have an RS3 and it's draining me of money.

I wouldn’t sell now. Especially with most brands stopping V8 production. This car will do nothing but appreciate. I will be hanging on to mine but it’s not my daily

Have you ever thought about learning how cars work with spanners and stuff instead of talking forever and paying people bucket loads to fix every little problem?

Does he say how much he spent on it?

Tbh surprised you haven’t gone for a manual because I bet the auto boxes on these are ££ to fix when they go pear .

I think its time for the m3 to go now 🖐

What would you buy to replace it? I mean there just isn’t a comparable replacement for it within the same pricerange

Hey mate going back to where you had water ingress in you Ecu just had the same issue...drainage channels completely block...got Ecu dried out everything all good and the garage made a new drainage system so it won't happen again....

Silly question…if the racks electric why is there a pump and fluid aswell?

Keep it

I don't know what you expect from using a v8 m3 as a daily. This should of been the track car and golf the daily. This would of been a brilliant track car. Its all you see at the ring. Gt3,s and m3 s.

Send it !

Keeeppp

Keep it

Wish I could own an M3. Buying one no problem. Genreal maintenance OK. But not the constant headaches. I drive IS250.

Throw an ESS supercharger kit on it and be done with it.

If you do sell imo if you still wanted a m car having had a few myself definitely consider a m2 og. Had a m4, m2 comp and a og definitely best for the money and I never had an issues with the n55!

imagine selling the M3 and A45s for a M3 touring , damn that be a different level

Sort out front number plate holes and keep it.

Keep it they’re too good 🙌🙌

It might be expensive, but it's such an awesome car 👌

As everyone has said you've spent so much on it so hopefully sorted for you. One thing though. That front bumper 🙈 I think a normal number plate would look better than those holes drilled 🫣

Love love love this car!!!

Definitely keep it mate, you clearly enjoy the car and yes it’s been a pain in the arse but that’s what having a passion for cars is about. If not we’d all be driving round in a Honda jazz! You’ve got it right now so just enjoy it and finish what you want to do with the car and have the full experience. 👍

Keep the M3, send it to the moon and get another daily lol 😂😂😂😂. Supercharge it 😎

Keep it mate.

Think it needs a cheeky supercharger before you sell it its an absolute animal

C63 W204 facelift with performance pack, far more reliable, more torque, better sound, also can be bought as an estate.

I think it’s time you sold it and bought an E60 M5.

now this car is a serious beast!!!! the exhaust sound is AMAZING. and the speed? damn it's super fast!!!! Definitely keep it man

ESS supercharger and Eisenmann exhaust that’s what I’d love to have done to mine. Keep up with the great content!

Still one of the best sounding M3 of all time. Definitely keep it.

Give it to SWIFT and let them turn it into a TEAM SCHIRMER GT style build.

Super charged 👊🏽

Keep it and supercharge it

£5k charger from Mr Vanos 👀?

Supercharge with ess g1❤

Supercharger it!!!
