@thinkingimpaired5663 3 года назад

I actually love the vehicle. When I was a member of BMWCCA I would get all my helpful service hints from the club magazine which likely is all virtual now. I might still have the service books which set me back I think 700 dollars. The books are expensive. The wiring harness connector in the door jamb is best cleaned and dielectric grease applied. I would replace the water pump and radiator right away unless it was replaced recently. And timing belt, tensioner to, unless the cam is on a chain.

Hi Mr Scotty , I have a 2021 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 efi (kick start) model motorcycle. It is a very good bike. But on 2 occasions , My motorcycle stops for no reason as if it is running out of fuel , in a full tank of Gas. And once after a long 15 km ride , I went to have a cup of coffee for 5 min and then tried to kick start my bike but did not start for 5-8 kicks. Then suddenly it starts on the 9th kick. Please help me find a solution for this. Desperately need your help. Thank you.

My trick is I get slightly used cars ( around 2-3 years old with under 30k miles). They tend to drop about 40% in price and if kept for just a Few years and sold again you tend to loose only about 10%. However My last car I did this too I bought for 29k and sold for 31k after 4 years of owning it, so can’t complain with that.

When I was born (in 2005) my dad had a 1986 BMW 535i. It was rusty as heck (being in Michigan), and was super loud, but it was awesome. He got rid of it in 2007 because he couldn't drive it in the winter (RWD, and he couldn't even get up our driveway, which was not steep), and got a 2000 Honda Civic DX Coupe. Fun times with the BMW, I wish he still had it. he LOVED that thing. My mom, in 2005, got a brand new Hyundai Tuscon. The car I was driven home from the hospital in. I guess that's where my deep hate for Korean cars comes from... but before that, she had a 1985 Audi 5000. A much better car.

Once again, RESPECT to you, Scotty, for not being a brand snob and telling like it is. People may think you hate BMWs and Toyotas are the only cars you prefer, but this is a perfect example that a good car is a good car and time/period is more of a factor in how the car is built than the brand. The E30 series is a true classic!

@brianvogt8125 3 года назад

Scotty has a religious zeal against snobbery in all of its forms. He keeps his mind on the primary purpose of a motor vehicle, which is to move people & things. Breakdowns ruin the functionality. Having fun while driving is a bonus. Paying top dollar for a car in which to pose is a foreign concept to Scotty.

That enthusiasm for BMW stopped around 2012 with all the planed obsolescence BMW engineered into their vehicles. I was able to regain the enthusiasm by going back 3 decades and picking up an old reliable BMW with the M30 straight six. They really did know how to make them in Deutschland back then.

My Dad had a 1985 BMW 325e 5 speed and he loved that thing he owned it from 1987 to 1999 though he did say everything was metric and it took a weird battery and back in the 90s when he owned it he said only the dealership and Sears sold the battery dealership wanted over $500 in 1990's money whereas Sears only wanted $50 lol

@brianvogt8125 3 года назад

I think the most annoying thing about my father's 1988 model 525e is the weird battery. Dad called the automobile association to investigate the crook battery, and the patrol sold him a new one on the spot for just over AUD$500. In my 1999 Camry, I keep using the OEM model Century which has a list price of $200 but can sometimes be bought cheaper because most auto parts shops stock it. 7 years lifespan every time.

@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix 3 года назад

The reason the battery is in the back right is to offset the weight of the driver. All 4 cylinder models have the battery under the hood on the passenger side, all 6 cylinder models have it in the rear right corner. And there are all kinds of different batteries that will fit back there.

Oh my God Scotty, you were so right. I spend 8000 to get it right myself mostly, the list is huge, new paint, interior leather fixed, new tyres and paint on rims powder coated, on engine I did most work myself, it was very hard, i had to study a lot, I also have a mechanic specialist friend who help me out, we pretty much rebuild the engine. We serviced the transmission, put new brakes from brembo and finally now after 2000 miles of very easy driving to brake in the engine i put again new oil warm it up and see what it can do. Scotty, I totally agree, it was countless hours of work, lots of money, lots of sweat, but it put a huge smile on my face, this drives like a dream, it pulls and mpg is over 40 mixed.

I had an '86 325. Loved it but a rear axle broke at 420,000 kms. That was the point of no return even though the engine was still good to go. Fun to drive though.

@apj341 3 года назад

Nice. I got an '84 533i up to 500K miles. Punted it in 2011.

@potterg04 3 года назад

Awesome video Scotty, I owned a 89 325i and drove it 7 years until I was T-boned, broke my heart

I've been fixing up my (2) E46 BMW's that I never set out to originally get. Both are convertibles and I've gotta say your're 100% right about them. The repairs are overpriced there's too much cheap brittle plastic, especially around the engine. But Scotty, they do look beautiful when in good shape. If well maintained the are great fun to drive. One thing the enthusiasts will tell you is, if you know the fixes that huge aftermarket makes the non-OEM parts really cheap. So it's not a money pit for the enthusiasts, at least until the come across a big part swap.

On the bright side he has a master mechanic of a grandpa that can help bring that car back to life if anything would ever happen to the BMW 🙏🏽

@MrAeronca100 3 года назад

Same problem here but it was the Grand daughter and she went for one of the goofy looking SUV Caddies, told her she's on her own for repairs as it's not allowed in my shop!

@olivierbourgeois4748 3 года назад

I think , I heard the car’s tires were the ones that were on it when he bought it. If that is true those tires are not safe to drive on. They are dried out and will blow out , especially at speed.

@mathewfullerton8577 3 года назад

IF that is the correct mileage, I doubt it, it was poorly cared for based on its condition. I had a 1988 320i convertible (red over tan, black top) back in the mid-00's. Had more miles but in much better condition.

@onlimi616 3 года назад

I thought you said you were disowning your grandson? Sounds like you should be congratulating him and patting him on the back. I wish I could get a find like that, that would be super rare in Cali.

@EcSsAwS 3 года назад

My 3rd car was a 1986 BMW 325E. Straight 6 with a 5speed When I drove it to the junkyard it had 300k Literally I think about that bmw almost everyday And it's been almost 20years ago

Got two 1988 E34s with the M20 engine in the video, can confirm those are solid, and few things run as long as a old classic MB diesel

One of the great thing about BMW is the tons of aftermarket parts. Back in the 70's and 80's when BMW where indestructible.

@mlaprarie 3 года назад

3 Series Bimmers from the 90's are great cars. Nice looking, dependable. I'm dealing with plastic failure in the interior of my '97 328i, which is common. But mechanically it's solid. In 4 years of ownership my only repairs were things you'd expect from a 24 year old car (suspension joints and bushings, brakes, heater valve, coolant tank sensor, blower motor control). Runs and drives like a dream though, now that the suspension is restored. Bulletproof engine and transmission.

@joelcerda9627 3 года назад

Picked me up an 1990 e30 vert that has been sitting for a year. Super fun car to drive and with basic maintenance, it runs really well now.

@henrytsao1 3 года назад

I mean he knows his grandpa is the best mechanic who could literally fix anything that has to do with a car. Why wouldn't he buy a bmw ?big flex

@cactneir 3 года назад

So basically you don't have to disown your grandson at all because he bought an old used BMW that's in excellent condition and is actually a reliable model. Plus it is fairly nice looking even if I have never been a huge convertible fan.

@nrich5127 3 года назад

People who buy BMW's believe the advertising - the reality is they are designed for performance only - reliability is not in their formula when designed. After 100K .. the problems start to pile up after one system after another fails. Plastic intake manifolds that crack with age is an example of BMW quality issues.

@Jaysaflame 3 года назад

thats the newer ones. The old slow boring ones like in this video are up their with toyota with reliability. grew up in a bmw family with 3 or 4 old bmws in the drive way at all times.

@stevedeleon8775 3 года назад

@jackolson8775 3 года назад

While you were under the back seat you may have noticed a couple electrical junctions under there.( you know, right where the convertible top leaks) WHEN you have electrical issues, start there.

Not sitting for hundreds of hours with the top down in a blazing sun being bombarded with UV? That'll wreck the dash of a car with ZERO miles on it.

@elliottpalumbo7407 3 года назад

My BMW E36 Z3 had that same fan motor buzzing grinding sound but it was an easy fix for me and that's the only thing I had to fix for the AC system in this car. I love maintaining these older BMW's they were much better to work on then modern BMW's from late 2006 and up.

@TimJoseph08031990 3 года назад

At least it's an older BMW that is easier to fix, unlike the modern ones that have all the unnecesary electronics and cheap plastic parts that can break.
