Why you SHOULD buy a 10 year old Twin Turbo F10 BMW 550i 5 Series! 

Ours is currently oily using about half a quart between changes. We put about 15k per year on it now. It's a wonderful daily for Ahlyia!

Have you had any problems with it?

Using LIQUI MOLY Motor Oil Saver took care of this.

I'm glad to hear you are happy with it. These cars, or BMW's in general, get a bad wrap, but up until recently, with my G80 M3, I've never had one leave me straded. Good luck and thanks for commenting.

Wow, the 6 speed cars are very rare! That's killer. Thanks for your comment 👍

Glad you love it! What should we do to it next? 🤔

Hybrid turbos, 3” straight pipe, upgrade the intercoolers, UE5 injectors, mix E50, gap hellcats and z06

Oh, that's killer. They are very hard to find congrats 👏

How do you now what engine you have in bmw models?

Thank you! I've owned and driven BMW's as long as I could drive. We want to offer as much content as we can of the brand!

Thanks Eddie! Do you like E90 of F10 design better??

@@bavarianredline I definitely prefer the E90 look.

Big upgrade my friend congratulations! Nobody would argue the Camry is cheaper to own, but it lacks any soul!

Down pipes and a BM3 tune give the car even more personality

@@bobbysingh1023 Absolutely, maybe once it's not her daily driver we will do more modifications to it.

Thanks for the reply!

Thank you we love it. We will probably do a video on Dinan Coils and new plugs soon but so far $0 outside of oil changes.

Very true. Thank you. We take pride in keeping these high-maintenance cars on the road! Wait until you see our next project!

Thank you. We work to keep improving with each and every video. As the channel grows, we'll be able to show more love to each car! Thanks for commenting.

At least the turbos are on top of the motor! What year X5 are you looking for?

@@bavarianredline16 or 17

75k and HPFP said no more. 😂😂

Any issues yet?

@@Alumoment no.

Engine replacements on the early cars are very common. Get this my F90 M5 had its motor replacement at 6k miles, I traded it as 22k miles. If it was done right, swapped for an N63TU, and you're religious with maintenance, you should see a long life. Enjoy the car, my friend. Thanks for commenting.

I agree, amazing, what just small mods can do!

I believe the F90 & F80 are the most symmetrical, perfect balance of aggression and beautiful design. I would put the F10, especially in M5 trim very close to the top in design. The list goes on and on because E39's, E46's and E60's are also beautiful timeless designs. I've always said nothing ages like a BMW!

We get AVG 22MPG, which given I have driven lot's of cars with horrible mileage, and F-150 Raptors it seems tolerable lol. Too bad the newer 5's with great MPG don't offer the same styling or experience!

Absolutely wonderful cars to drive, just add a few quarts of oil and you're good to go!

Anywhere from 10,000 - 30,000 USD depending on year and mileage.

I've always wanted a manual F10 but I've never be able to get a good buy on one!

2013, so yes, the first year for the TU's.

@@bavarianredline no the 550i in 2013 did not get the TU engine, only the 750i did. The 550i only got the TU engine in 2014. So it's quite likely your engine is a non-TU n63 engine. Every 2013 550i I've seen had the non-tu engine. The TU engine for the 550i only starts in 2014.

@@bavarianredline no. The easiest way to tell is if you have those two silver metal plate things on both sides of the engine and the coolant reservoir in the back of the engine bay means it's a TU. If your coolant reservoir is up at the front driver side of the engine bay, it's definitely a non-tu engine. Look up a 2014 550i on used cars websites and look at the engine bay photos and compare to 2013 550i engine bays. You'll see what i mean. The TU engine in 2014 onwards have the coolant fill cap at the back of the engine bay.

@@akashmohan999 Interesting, you learn something new every day! Thanks for the feedback.

@@bavarianredline so did you check your engine bay? Where is your coolant reservoir located?

It could be if it's clean. We bought ours a little over a year ago for 20,000, and it had 36k miles. $14,500 is the right price but not a steal, anything under 13k would be a great buy if the car is in good shape!

Awesome! Thanks for the advise man 👊🏽

@@bavarianredlineIm about yo pull the trigger on a 2015 with 70K miles for 16K. One owner garage kept. Good deal?

@@brunonaranjo6985 We got this F10 with one owner, garage kept, 30k miles for 19k about 2 years ago. Without seeing spec or condition I would still say that might be a bit high! 2015 is a better car than our 2015 with the TU motor. I'd say if it checks out it's not a bad deal.

I think the newer model N63TU has it share of issues as with any V8 BMW, that being said ours has been great for the last 15k miles, and we only plan to drive it another 10k or so. When it hits 60k miles we'll be on to the next BMW project. Thanks for the feedback.

There are certainly worse cars you can buy for many reasons, a 90's Bentley, for instance. There are definitely things to watch out for on an n63 motor as I mentioned. They are not problem free. Thus far ours has been.

I've had f10 for 4 years from 64k to 117k no issues. That was the 530d now I got the 535d at 75k on the clock

Why?

@@centurionwilliams8765 worst car to ever buy is unreasonable to say. The N63 and variants are primarily known for oil consumption issues due to the hot V design. That's what the F10 550i gets more flack for than anything.

@@bavarianredline what years 5 series came with the N63

Yeah that sounds right!

The same could be said about almost any of the cars on our channel, or most German cars in general, it's a labor of love. They're such a bargain to buy for a reason, if you can do most of the work yourself they are a wonderful car to own. Thanks for sharing your opinion.

If you can fix it yourself or know someone who can fix it they are not that costly. Many parts are very available on the market with reasonable price. But if you take it to a dealership they will mark up the repair cost
