Why You SHOULD Buy A Used Bmw E60
in this video I go over why you should buy a used bmw e60 I have done this video as I have seen many many un experienced and un educated people making videos bad mouthing these cars giving them a bad name when they know JACK S**t about them and there videos clearly show that they get a bad example have no clue how to fix it and knock these cars right down as they dont understand them they want to feel special and get views by trying to buy a car they know nothing about
now as alot of you know my youtube channel has been BUILT on the bmw e60 and I love this car and im sticking up for everyone on my channel all your E60 E90 guys who love yours aswell as thanks to me coming around I have shown all of you how easy these cars are to maintain Aswell as fix and diagnose these are the most simplest cars even for a child and im seeing grown men not even able to fix these cars and its disgusting...
where will that leave them down the road well clearly there gonna be no longer existent and that is why my channel will become supreme these people dont want to know now I know as the saying goes you can't teach a new dog new tricks but unless you get on par with this sorry your channels will fail

I had 3 of these cars (1 e60 and 2 e61), no problems, all 3L diesels. Just normal service. One battery replaced.

@BMWDoctor 5 лет назад

E61 is much much more problematic but not for me e61 is a good car in the right hands also

@JuhaMantysaari 5 лет назад

BMW Doctor Yeah that is true. It seems tho the diesels are much less problematic than the gasolines.. You can find a lot of them with high miles. Just change some thermostats every 100.000kms and the turbo after 250.000kms and it will run forever. And the oil ofc. 😛

@BMWDoctor 5 лет назад

@Juha Mäntysaari bro how long did you own ur 3 cars for?

@maurohernandez1519 4 года назад

I owned an E60 550i a few years ago and definitely learned the hard way. Things that I should’ve looked out for which seemed common on these cars were faulty transmissions (usually just needing fluid change and most likely sleeves) as well as AND MOST IMPORTANTLY the replacing of the valve guide seals. I had to sell it because of the high cost of the repair of the valve guide seals ($2,400) but bought one just today again because of how much I missed it. Compared to my E30, of course it’s more “problematic” and difficult to work on but it’s not impossible. Don’t get scarred of getting your hands dirty. Ask for help, research, do what you have to do to get your car in shape. It’ll pay off!

@lexburen5932 4 года назад

I agree with you. The E60/61 has a very bad reputation for reliability issues. Most of it is because they are very advanced for their time, and people don't understand the technology and the mechanical side that went into this car when BMW brought this car out. When it came out it also was thought that it was a very unlikely ugly BMW. A friend of mine recently bought one, a "07 E60 530i executive , and had a lot of fault codes/errors/technical issues. It was a long proces of investigating and diagnosing, eventually we got everything fixed. It was well worth the hassle. it runs and drives like a swiss watch without all the christmas lights on the dash. 3 year further with regular maintenance the bmw service book recommend. No issues, total reliable

I bought my e60 back in 2006. It was made on 1/04 , one of the first to hit the states. Black on Black 6 speed manual , sport package and all.. It had 42k at the time , today it has 221k. Still the original clutch , it slips but it's still original and can get you around town. Only things I did so far , new alternator , new starter .. Removed the cats , valve cover gasket. The car is still fun to drive from day one. Have a few clips on my channel.

Its all b0ll0cks! my Discovery 3 has been fine, why? because when it throws an error code I read it, then fix the problem! Like BMW - with Land Rover its all about MAINTENANCE and buying proper parts not cheap crap!!! just maintain it when it needs it. Its not rocket science.

@mattmccauley1110 2 года назад

My friend you said it best when you said that this car is not for everyone. Owning that BMW or any BMW requires a financial commitment that is ongoing once the miles/age stack up on that brilliantly designed vehicle made of all those cheap quality parts start wearing out, it’s going to start costing you more and more money. I don’t have to tell you that they are just pricey but if you’re into that car and that’s what you have to have then you just take care of it by doing the preventative maintenance and fixing the failures when they come. Great video!

I have a 2003 bmw 530i e60. I just do general maintenance and it has 387,000 on the clock and it runs like a dream. You can put a cup of coffee on top of the engine and it won’t shake off. M54b30!

This is totally spot on. I am an Essex man living in US. A lot of Americans think they can drive these cars like a Toyota and never put oil in it. Any decent vehicle that drives as well as these does need regular maintenance. You make a trade; cheap car that is a bore to drive but can be neglected OR more expensive one, which can be driven hard and is awesome to drive. I choose the latter.

That’s correct mate glad a british man is noticing what I’m seeing just here on youtube Good to know your from Essex mate don’t know how you do it over there seriously 😂

@Internet_Spy 4 года назад

BMW Doctor it’s a struggle sometimes! I live in the sticks though, no traffic and common sense for the most part. Our speed limits are 80 in the state I live in, can sit at 86-87 mph without being pulled over and there are zero speed traps. It has its benefits😇.

Hiiii I'm planning to buy 2007 E60 525i looks very good with no issues. Done 122k kilometers. I'm getting it cheap. Wondering if it would be a good idea to proceed with purchase.

@andreasvoss4931 3 года назад

I was always an Audi guy. Then I bought a 528xi 2008 with 150k miles. Looked great and I knew i took a chance...now almost at 170k miles and no issues in 3 years I got so confident in these that I bought a 645ci from 2004. After a whole lot of electrical nightmares which got fixed in the warranty that I got with that car used (3 months) it also has become really reliable and I have no regrets buying either of them.

@johnyp2967 4 года назад

I just brought an E61 M sport business edition 2010 330D with 104k miles first things i did was remove swirl flaps, change crankcase breather full service carried out. Hopefully it's a good one i know something who owns an e92 330D it's been highly neglected but the only thing to fail on it in the three years he's owned it is the starter motor and the headlight has recently become faulty.

@Joseph_Speck 4 года назад

I found a certified BMW guy when I got my 08 535i and he works out if this run down building but I've never seen anyone know so much about cars, specifically BMW. I have no regrets with mine and I'm at 143,000 miles. Sure I've spent some money on it but nothing crazy.

I’ve just got into my first BMW e60 520d - went around on the first day I got it and made a list of everything that’s wrong, not loads. Ordered everything and have been fitting it all as it arrives. Will have my I drive working again tomorrow then only thing left will be fix boost leak. Cars mint other than that, interior all perfect condition and a couple of scratches on the body but no rust etc. I fell in love right away, my pal was horrified because the car was dirty and full of rubbish when I bought it. It’s a 2005 got it for 1.6k - 134k miles and tbh I couldn’t ask for more. My wife went away for work for 2 days and come home and I had it on the drive, she wasn’t happy lol

I love the E60. I have a 2008 550i N62 V8 sports with diana exhaust exhust. Sounds like a beast!! Goina put a custom tune on it in a few weeks. Had the car for almost 4 years now and i love it!!! Everyone dont believe me when I say its a 2008.

@p0werl0ve 3 года назад

this is a very reliable if you can fix it immediately everytime it fails. And it will fail. Nice point :)

Ive had an e60 528xi since 2012 and its been the best car I ever owned. 113k and only major service was Vanos & gaskets.

@yol4203 3 года назад

yeah i had to pay for the previous owners bs. it was a two owner the first owner serviced and took care for almost 13yrs and the last guy drove it for 2yrs and i had to put 5k in repairs. and now ive spent close to 8k in repairs on 2yrs.

@steelobucks5910 4 года назад

Just bought an e60 and replaced the expansion tank, radiator, valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gaskets, oil filter and PVC valve hose. Then everything was perfect

As an e65 owner, I would LOVE if you got one. I have a 2006 740i in Alpine White. I absolutely LOVE IT. I also had to repair all the neglect. Everything is powered and everything that moves, needs lubrication. Nothing was lubricated. All the electrics work.. I am still working though connecting the worm drives. Next thing will be the front seat edge motor, and the rear head rests have some issues, ALL FROM NEGLECT. I agree with you 1000% I will upload some videos of my work soon. Keep up the good work man.

Exactly like me then mate and I know exactly that feeling e46 m54 engine is a lot smoother and power comes in so nice compared to n52 complete different machines but both still powerful and put newer cars to shame still to this day

I've got a 2008 530d m sport touring, and I love it. There's a approved BMW dealer local to me, it's a good place. They usually deal with any issues I have with it. Although saying that, I'm lucky. I love cars, but open the bonet and I'm useless. I'd just leave it to the mechanic. It's only got 70,000 miles and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Thanks for the video, it was a great help!!

People say how impressed they are when they get in mine.. it's absolutely mint!! And like you say still looks good and certainly keeps up easily with the more modern cars of 2019/2020 👍

@lakilaki551 4 года назад

I own e46 , never electrical troubles , simple car , reliable , now i do agree with what you are saying but i must point out that e60s cost up to 52,000 euro back in the day and i must say this i dont want to offend you but do you really think most people want to pay that kind of money just to end up constantly fixing the car themselves , lets be honest here e39s ,e46s no electric crap in them made the so great , i think all this modules etc etc are totaly unnecessary as back in the day cars were without them (idrive etc) and were simply great cars . I do admire your love and passion for bimmers , keep up the good work

Brother no offence taken and I agree with you also my friend I been driving BMWs for the last 20 years trust me and seen the change dramatically to what they was to what they are now

@clifwilliams304 4 года назад

I have owned 2 bmw 330i currently has 200000 miles still runs good. Recently purchased 2010 535i it’s has been well taken care of, but I replaced all gaskets , rack and piñon , flushed coolant before driving it.my Germany mechanic has shown me how fix and diagnose about any issues they great cars but you must be able to address issues immediately saves 1000 of dollars use molly for oil change. Great cars but are not cheap make sure you can afford it.

@R9218-t7x 4 года назад

ive just bought a 55 plate 520d which has been very well looked after there are a few cosmetic issues however the car is mechanically sound... i have looked through the cars history and receipts and there has been a huge amount of money poured into the maintenance of it... i know the car is now getting on in age but i personally love it and will continue putting the money into the running of the car for the next few years at least. i know its just the baby version being the 520 but for my needs in a car it fits into my lifestly very well and i am also never afraid of giving jobs ago myself. (no matter how long the job takes!) haha

@odfkjdhgovj 4 года назад

Aye totally agree with you.. its hard to find a good one cause they're all neglected and ragged owned by folk who can't afford to look after them.

Exactly that Kevin and I’m glad you are a prime example of someone WHO WANTS TO ACTUALLY LEARN regardless your age your not lazy and taking the time out to fully study it you are my model for this one GUYS THIS GUY IS IN HIS 50s he’s got a e53 and he has taken the time out after and after to learn ista and believe it’s on a e53 so when he gets a e60 or newer he will be ready this my friends is someone who I admire I helped him with the software and he has been keen to learn

@kevinvandevelde9789 5 лет назад

@@BMWDoctor Only 1 thing I wish was ISTA was on a I pad to hold while you drive it. One thing I regret was to abort the test plan and do a re adapt. I just masked the problem. Checked for vacuum leaks found nothing but rethinking miss one spot that can cause it. Its always good the step back and rethink. And another comment on a large You Channel I watch for fun. For you about the bimmers. By the way I'm 59 yrs old.

@joewolfe642 4 года назад

I am not trying to be critical - but trying to understand your point. I drove an E60 with a manual and it was amazing to drive. However all the problems you cite as maintenance are not consumable maintenance items. Lexus makes electric steering columns - failures are rare. Water build up under the DME due to drainage failure is a design flaw. An E60 that is absolutely not reliable - the E60 M5. My friend had one - vanos issues and then finally rod bearing failure . BMW told him that Rod bearings are not covered and are a "wear/maintenance item" - If i recall correctly this was at only 43k miles. Amazing driving cars - but cheap entry price =/= cheap ownership. I think your pointing out alot of flaws and citing fixes as maintenance items. Fixing design goof ups is not maintenace - your just doing the job BMW should have done from the get go. My E34 535i was dead reliable. Maintenance items included things like bushings, steering rebuild, steering box rebuild water pump, oil changes, belts e.t.c. That car felt like it could well exceed 400k miles on the clock.

@LethalJizzle 3 года назад

My RX8 appears to have packed up so I'm looking at E60s. Owning the Mazda has meant I'm quite used to borrowing the wife's car when it's not working so I should be fine with whatever headaches the BMW brings.
