You Won’t Buy This Gen BMW After Watching This! Fixing My Cheap X6 For A Quick Flip Was A Disaster! 

That's seems to be any German car brand. Customer service is horrendous, from what I've been told.

Toyota reliability with all the tech and luxury level comfort you could hope for.

​@@craigquannnot Porsche but all the other euro brands not just German.

@@jacobpeterson628 Porsche is owned by Volkswagen. I assure you that they're assholes.

That would fuckin infuriate me.

The "Ding of Doom"

Agreed %100. Sold mine 3 years ago, still have that sound echoing in my brain.

same ding for low washer fluid and catastrophic engine failure

its been on for 2 years and i still lie to myself that "il fix it"

​@@BOX-069 and the ding for the outside temp being below 37 degrees

I couldn't agree more

Yeah I came down to say this. I do the same, which is why I'm a fan.

To make it perfect you should change all 4 of them but it is not worth it with these kind of engine, especially just to find out the timing chain might be the culprit later.

​@@yan7382Turbochargers and timing chains chew the oil in as little as 500 miles. A 0w40 will quickly turn into a 0w30 after some hard driving

This is very, very common. Most of these guys sitting at service centers are just receptionists and pencil pushers who have no idea what they're talking about.

I've had this happen before at my local Honda dealership. Such a stupid law

😅😂

Hilarious

Funny he says that. The car is listed at a ridiculous price, and is currently listed at auction with several disclosed error codes, albeit generic codes from the auction meaning it probably has dozens of BMW specific error codes stored. It also has many other issues documented that he doesn't even mention in the video. This is reference from the auction inspection report on that car: Emissions P013E O2 Sensor Delayed Response - Rich to Lean Bank 1 Sensor 2 -- Pressure Too Low in High-Pressure System (Bank 1) Emissions P142E Cylinder Injection Cut-Off Emissions P2297 O2 Sensor Out of Range During Deceleration Bank 1 Sensor 1 Emissions P2419 EVAP System Switching Valve Control Circuit Low This car is far from fixed. I'm not sure why he is pretending everything was good after he cleared the codes? He didn't even mention that the car basically failed inspection and will not be covered for return to the auction for any of the above listed issues. This car may as well be as-is at the auction.

Definitely holy shit well said

These Modern BMW's are proper shitbox money pits. I have an 1999 E36 Euro Spec M3 and it is MINT. That was back when BMW actually made high quality cars. I'll never sell it.

@@tonymontana897 It was more that they were simple and easy to fix when they did break than they were ever really that high quality - I mean, they weren't bad like they are now - but compare a 90's BMW to a 90's Lexus - not even close.

"Big Money Waste"

Super accurate w/ modern BMWs from what I've been watching for the past decade

@@AFatOcelot in my 50s, but same!

I like the analogy.

Ow yes!!!😂

@@bartromalia8362same here my friend. In my 50s and I’m get excited every time I see a new video uploaded.

Me aswell at 28 😂🙏🏽

Same here, euro trash car craters your wallet and bank account. Went back to japanese cars, and never going back to these money pits.

Yep anything at Toyota makes Lexus Toyota anything like that because they are reliable cars feel bad for Alex for buying his BMW

I am on my 5th and final Mercedes. I own a Porsche Cayman S that has been bulletproof so far. Once I sell the Mercedes I have now, I am done. I am looking at the Lexus GX550 as my next car. I cant do the euro cars anymore. It's painful.

This comment is so boring I fell asleep reading it.

Lexus is the best make, just under Porsche, for reliability. One of the best manufacturers there is. 🤙🏻

I can confirm that this works great. The only issue I've had is with the floss breaking, so I double or triple the strand. I'm guessing that fishing line would work pretty well, too. Any residue left behind will usually come off quickly with an eraser wheel.

BMW X6: Bring Money Withya 6 times

Just get a inline 6 one. Theyre bulletproof

LMFAO that's a good one. Think you are done? Nah times 6!

@@eptdy Not bulletproof. They are still prone to issues with the injectors, coils, spark plugs, cam adjusters and of course oil/coolant leaks. They are easier to work on though as there is more space under the hood.

Times 6 how much money you need to put in it

Idiots

because the type of person who buys a BMW is a person who is concerned with how they are seen by people.

And the tri bar grilles

Yeah, very silly...

It might add a hp or two

I had to call three different Acura dealerships because I kept getting the same or different BS. One place said that information was not stored. Hahahaha

Yup, all they're doing is trying to get you to bring the car in.

As is evident by the second guy just giving that information. Usually service departments don't really care if you bring your car in...and I imagine BMW techs would prefer you don't

Yeah, the first guy didn't want to look it up, so he made up some BS to not have to do his job.

Exactly. Privacy policies are for personal information like name, address, phone number, or other data points that point to an individual person. Unless the prior owner had parts installed on their body, advising if the Car had work done on it won’t violate any privacy policies. You didn’t even ask or hint to asking about the prior owner at all… that guy was a clown.

Don’t forget “naturally aspirated”…

Cars with LS engines are not sold in Europe so no stupid emission laws they have to follow.

they've probably been called into court to show the maintenance records of cars in disputed transactions and thats a days worth of wages lost

lol this cracked me up man

Ask her to say “bag”

Bought one once, it started when i bought it, drove it to the shop, never started again. Ended up scraping it for parts. Never again

@@Emperio33Nor what does that have to do with this OP’s grandma saying “warsh” lol?

Since Alex is a movie quoter, he needs to go watch Sling Blade. Great movie (if a bit dark), but I routinely quote the line from it - "Whatcha got there? Warsh?"

If nothing else the guys manager should be told so up-training can occur.

For real, like HIPAA for my car? Really? Helps to have a attorney friend to send a subpoena for records.

i get not providing owner info but service history is non big deal

enjoy your non luxury clothe seat toyota

So unreliable

They stil have all the classic bmw cooking system issues. But yea the inline 6s are leaps and bounds ahead of the v8’s as far as bmw goes

@@feron450i have n54, e46 m3

Did you know my n52 have over 200,000 miles?

Hoovie's was not a fake M-badge. Hoovie's was a real X6M that someone had swapped the S63 engine out for an N63 engine, hence he made the joke it was no longer an M-car.

Project Chicago #2 (LSC edition)

Indeed. So he doesn’t have to mess with Maseratis again. 🚙

How long he had it so far?

@@p4in574 1 year and 4 months

@@mentals555S63 is a bit better than the N variant in this car

N52 is much much much easier to work on. lol

Exactly the same for me with my N52

Never say "Its working perfect now." Always say "Its running perfect for now."

I dumped my BMW with the N52 at auction after it had problems with both VANOS gears (not just the solenoids), DISA intake valve, both cats and high oil usage. Just in parts that was around €2500 excluding labour. And it needed a new diff. Not worth it on a €4000 car.

Traded my n52 128i for an IS F to get off of the carousel. I learned the hard way to stick with bosch for the vanos replacements. great to drive but maint... oof

My work truck is a 2000 Astro AWD. I paid $2,200 in 2016. 270,000 MILES. I replaced the trans in 2017. Rear axle in 2023. Leaks some oil. But starts EVERY day. It's staying until the wheels fall off.

I have an 04 Tundra Limited with 180k on it. Still runs and looks great. The interior is like a comfy leather couch. It's not a manly looking truck, but we've gotten our money's worth out of it.

I have a 08 sequoia with the same 5.7 and I’m at 275,450 miles and no issues except for cracked leather. I had a 02 sequoia as well with 300k miles before I sold it

yep your old school thing without half the emission crap this thing was works great. jeee.. how about those wonderful new toyotas that also has to meet emissions. seam to remember something about failing rod bearings 🧐, diffs, miss alignments everywhere

I have the Mk 6 Trendline Golf. Other than keeping the fluids up to date, the only engine-ish thing it ever had were spark-plugs and a thermostat housing. 170,000 km or a little over 100,000 miles.

If it fits there, thatcwould be epic))😃😃

@@user-pd8fj6np1k That's exactly what I was thinking. That thing would surprise many with a Demon stuffed in it. New drive train? Sure. Why not? At least it would be reliable. 😂

@@user-pd8fj6np1k it can fit for sure. the supercharger may not clear fully on the top but you can still put it in

Diesel. Thats always the answer. Most BMW diesels have been pretty good, with some being very good.

@@GoldenCroc I haven't had the best experiance with modern diesels. Id rather stick to gas specially for a BMW X6. It doesn't fit the car personality wise.

@@hamsterox9216 For me they have been fine, but it of course depends on many factors. To each their own with "personality" preference but in my mind I would say if there is anything that would fit a mid-large SUV, it would be a diesel.

diesel, especially 6cyl ..also suits this type of car so much more

ya my top 3 are this Sleeperdude and Diesel Creek

I have a e70 35i and a e70 35d both 2011 35d full deleted stage 2 this truck is a monster i love it so much .My 35i transmission is always slow truck have only 100000 k thinking about tuning it such a fantastic engine as well .

M57 MASTERRACE

just like how some people say fords are a pain, ive owned 2 mustangs and nothing other than basic maintenance and im fine

He... literally says that? He's calling out this engine specifically as unreliable, not bmws.

The diesels are great until you have to work on them 😂

If you're behind the steering wheel, what do you care what the front of your car looks like?

​@@MrGamman3ytfront plates take away from the look of the car. If you think she's beautiful, you won't run a front plate.

Come to Tennessee, we don't have any front plates! When you go to the DMV they only give you one... When I ordered my new Hellcat, I was clear, "drill into my front bumper, and I'm returning it" 😅

@@MrGamman3ytI’m in Illinois also like Alex, I don’t run a front plate on any of my three cars. 2021 C8, 1992 Z28, and 2022 Mazda CX-5, all of them look like absolute crap with a front plate. I have lived in Illinois for 35 years, been stopped once, $25 fine.

He was smart! He knew you don't throw money into a pile of shit!

They are called check valves and yes, they clog up a lot.

@@mrnicktoyouthey will wreck your MPG the more clogged they are also, i gained 6-10 mpg after cleaning mine on my 325

£45k if you had no knowledge of how much of a nightmare that engine is to work on. £45 if you know 😉

8900 :)

$50

In Western Australia where I live currently the same model X6 V8's are selling for 35k AUD with the same amount of KMs (miles) which in your money is around $25,500 USD. But for yours and your market over there I reckon around $14500

18k

There is an enormous difference between German and Japanese engineering.

@@bradleysmith2021 Yep, one is most often playing it safe as heck, the other says "to heck with all margins". To be fair, both are succesful in their own way, its all about what the customers want and is comfotable with.

I once had an 03 Corolla. We put 330,000 miles on it. It was a little tired and not as peppy. My brother in law had it for a while after that. I see Toyotas getting beaten on all day long overseas and they just keep going

audi isnt better aswell

I'll add Ford, GM, Fiat, VW, etc. I've owned cars from all those guys and they were all garbage. Had two great cars from Dodge, 1 Toyota, 1 Suzuki and and 1 KIA. That's been my experience.

Don't buy the small engine mercs with renault engines and u would have any problems

Audi's in my experience are even worse . They're nothing but a glorified unreliable vw. As for bmw's they are fun to drive at least

Just spun a bearing last night in my audi w/ a 4.2, no check engine light was on & the oil was perfectly fine i took good care of that car, fuck german cars😢

🤣😅

It also means Big Money Wasted

Simply put, no. However to be clear I would not want any bmw.

Nope, any generation 😂 they age like milk!

Only after you’ve done all of the repairs! 😂

Just find an e53.

Not an OG N63. The TU3s seem to be pretty stout though

Booooring. Rotary engine is better)) at least it's more original than LS)😂😂

​@@user-pd8fj6np1kIf you're thinking of a Mazda rotary engine, The Car Wizard has very strong opinions about them.

@@user-pd8fj6np1k Boring is the goal. Reliability is boring. What he has now is non-boring!
