Justin Buice Love your vids man. Simple, honest, humble reviews and DIYs. Just bought my first BMW bout 6months ago. '09 E93 335i w/10k orig miles..a beauty. Haven't had any issues(fingers crossed) but wouldn't expect any with the mileage anyways. Your vids are informative and concise. Keep it up bro.

Do you have any videos on a 428i coupe 2015 vintage? Just bought a 31,000 mi used.... I should get many years out of it...but do they have any flaws I need to watch?

[@SendNoodNoDudes]

For everybody saying that BMW sucks or whatever because of different little issues that can go wrong just remember every car has certain common issues and nothing worth having comes easily 😊 I'm on my 3rd and 4th BMW, love every one. They do have occasional issues as do all other cars, regular maintenance and preventative maintenance is key. Take care of your car and it will take care of you.

[@TimothyNyota]

lol.

[@ifitsfreeitsforme2913]

True

[@nn-ht1hj]

Yes, common issues, no shit. The thing is BMWs cost way more to fix.

[@SHAHRULAZ]

Rightly said 👍

[@buddy3007]

Also if you get one with any car with a standard it will last a lot longer cuz it's simpler than an automatic and manual cars are really cheap since no one wants them except ppl like me

[@saganworshipper6062]

Just got my first BMW which is a 2008 E90 328xi 6spd manual with 80k miles and with all service history done at the dealer. It was also only owned by 1 previous person, which was a woman in her 50's, and I got it for $8k USD. Hope it lasts awhile without too many headaches. It's such a solid and fun car to drive!

[@Musevendyi]

If you switch from standard brake pads to ceramic ones, as recommended, you'd better change all four at the same time to maintain braking balance betwen front and back wheels. I've had several BMWs over the years and we have two now, a 2000 528i and a 2008 328 wagon (my wife's). Both were bought new. I've done all the maintenance since the warranties expired. Not that much has gone wrong. I change the oil and filter once a year in Spring, usually 8 to 10k miles. Neither car burns any oil. I would change it more often if I lived in a harsh winter area. Failures on the 528 have been: exhaust side camshaft position sensor, $100, less than 1hour: thermostat failed, so I did serpentine belts and tensioners as well, $280, 6 hours; valve cover gasket leaked, so changed plugs as well, $120, 2.5 hours; driver's side door gasket, $?, 1 hour. The back up distance sensor system failed and I left it that way. The 328 had no problems till age 9. Then the starter failed and the valve cover gasket started leaking, both were a lot of work to fix but not expensive (new OEM Bosch starter $148 last year, 5 hours). The valve cover gasket was a pain to change, probably took me 7 hours altogether with a plug change. Did belt, pulley and tensioner in an hour, very easy, Continental kit $108. Both cars run great and feel tight and strong still. I don't think I even had any light bulb failures at all. Please don't tell me BMW cars are junk. They are expensive to fix if you don't do it yourself. Use KZbin videos for instruction and car club forums to learn how to DIY. There are often several videos on a given repair or maintenance job. Do watch them all to get a fuller sense of the ins and outs (some vids are great, some are not). Good luck!

[@cheapdrunk8531]

Amen! My first car was a 2008 328, then I had a 2016 328, now I’m in a 2019 330 and my wife has a 2019 x3. DIY maintenance is cheap and doesn’t require nearly the technical skills you would think. Way more fun to drive than a generic car

[@TheSydguy30]

Problem with ceramic pads is ceramic brake pads can create excessive rotor wear if rotors are not made specifically for ceramic brake pads (which these are not). Even then, they still wear faster than traditional. What instead you should do is do a wheel treatment / coating so you can just wash off the dust and it doesn't stick to the wheels. Everything else, nice video :) The BMW owners are really brilliant and friendly people and have an awesome community, that is one thing that really shines.

[@boywonderhenry1552]

Liked you video. Just bought one BMW for my wife (2016 328i) and I loved it so much, the same year, I bought one (2014 750Li) for my birthday. I have a 1997 Lexus LS400, I bought in 2000, which is an ultimate machine with all the bells and whistles. I put a cover over the Lexus and just drive it around the block every now and then... I didn't like that front grill on the new Lexus LS series and the price tag was outrageous... When I bought my BMW, I drove to Myrtle Beach to play some golf and back and the ride was like Ali says, flow like a butterfly.

I have a 328xi 2007 e90 6 speed Manuel with 259,000 km the timing chain and the timing guard have never been replaced and or timed. Should I be tackling this issue or do I just continue to drive it even thought I have spent roughly 1100$ on parts and maintenance already as the previous owner neglected the maintenance a lot and always took it to a bmw stealer ship only for them to try and charge him a ton of cash and he would always put some of the repairs off and just never got around to doing them and now I bought the car and read the entire 14 years worth of history and nowhere does it say this car had its valve cover, oil pan gaskets changed. It’s still running the og thermostat and water pump, same disa valves and man the spark plugs were cooked but she’s running strong af now thanks to me ! But what’s bothering me is this timing chain as I heard there to be done every 120,000 kms and this one hasn’t been done in 259,000km ….

So a few weeks ago I was eating lunch at my fiancé's restaurant and got into a conversation with one of the girls that work there. I drive bright blue e93 335i and my girl has a e93 328i and they girl had taken notice and began a convo about bmws. She was complaining about the fact she had recently let one of her friends " a 17 year old boy" take her car and wash wash for her one day. When he brought the car back the CEL was on and the car ran horribly. So after taking the car to the shop found out it the boy had been out racing it. Well turns out she never knew much about bmws and the whole time she had the car she was putting regular unleaded fuel in the car and rarely ever changed the oil. It was the f31 lower trim model with the little turbo 4 cylinder .... and I tried to explain to her with "performance oriented forced induction" like hers that you can't run low octane fuel and also compound the problem with no maintenance. Needless to say I feel she has learned her lesson on low quality gas.... and letting 17 year old boys drive her car. 💁‍♂️ Probably will be the last bmw she owns 🤣

Another vote for Akebono pads. Practically no dust and stops on a dime even when wet and cold. The only down side is the back plate on the pads tend to be a bit smaller than stock and you do get a clunky sound with the caliper while the pads bite on the rotor, Akebono might have solved that problem lately.

[@tamiebasse6595]

I second the comment about the dusty and fast wearing front brake pads. I replaced mine with ceramic pads when the brake wear sensor on the dashboard came on. The new pads require noticeably greater pedal pressure but create very little dust. The pad wear sensors will have a small strip of metal worn off them when the pads get thin enough to to allow the rotors to rub the sensors. When the metal strip wears off, the brake pad wear indicator light turns on. The Sensors can be repaired by soldering a small short across the remainder of the sensor's metal strip. Keep the short thin, not a large blob of solder or the rotor will rub it off prematurely.

Some good advice there. It applies to any make, not just BMW. I've just bagged a 1995 E36 BMW 318i SE saloon (sedan) and I'll be doing as much of the work as possible myself. Genuine OEM parts from the dealer aren't always expensive and are sometimes on a par pricewise with good quality aftermarket parts. I'm glad we don't have those oil change places here in the UK unless you count Kwik Fit (one of the tyre and exhaust "fast fit" chains).

Pretty awesome getting to See your channel grow, man. I remember when you first started out and I think I subscribed around 10k sub. All your videos are helpful, and you influenced me to get my first bmw. Keep up the great work!

[@justinbuice]

+Miles Douglas thank you I appreciate that!

I have a 750Li & a 528i, both are a blast to drive. Take care of the car, it takes care of you. If you can, do most of preventive maintenance yourself. Save yourself a ton of $

People need to understand, all cars need maintenance.I have a 2013 535i that i need to keep up but it also helps if your car savy.I do my own oil change,battery replacement, lighting install it factors to save money & enjoy a nice car.

1) Check the tyre pressure at least once a week, handling goes off well before the pressure sensors kick in. 2) If you like cornering fast throw away the run flat tyres. 3) If the car runs wide out of corners try turning the computer aids to DTC, if that cures the problem you need new / better tyres. 4) On a 1 series or E90 don't even think about cheap oil, Castrol Edge fully synthetic is one of the best. Scrimping on this will lead to a snapped camchain and a totaled engine. 5) Forget the oil change interval in the manual (mine says every 2 years or 15,000 miles) minimum every 10,000 miles or every year whichever comes first (see camchain problems above). 6) Don't drive a really good front wheel drive car as it will show up the BMW's weaknesses and you might wish you hadn't bought one.

An oil change costs $120 - $150 at a dealership? Wow, I don't think I've ever paid more than $30 to have the oil changed at a dealership on my '96 Civic.

[@shamal_dilantha]

Working on E90 320i N46 engine is pretty simple. I have replaced crank sensor, intake gasket and oil filter housing gasket in one day. I haven’t worked on a bmw before and I’m not a mechanic. If I can do it, anyone can do it. As Justin said, you can save alot of money doing your own repairs.

[@drbass9677]

i have to install a new crank sensor in my n46 engine too

Recently got a used 2010-128i w/65,000 mi. I'm learning a lot about BMWs that's for sure and I went into it with my eyes open. You always hear about how expensive they are to do this, and how much it cost for that and just let me say that if you want a really decent car then you have to expect to put money into it regularly, just be careful, and pay attention to it. I agree, Beemers are expensive to repair. Neglecting them isn't a good idea. 💰💰 🚗 BMWs are sure fun to drive as your everyday car though.....worth every penny.🚗

Just bought an bmw 316i dont know how to use half of the buttons in the car

[@FLOATER-RICH]

I am now one year into owning my first BMW 328i Xdrive. 2015. Bought it when it was 33k miles on now reading 49k only the have done so far is $250 worth maintenance that was for oil change and new filter. I took it to BMW shop.

[@oneroundleft467]

I have a BMW shop in Chattanooga that charges like $80 for a change. It ended up being cheaper to go to the shop for me. Anyone here from Chattanooga look at Bavarian Auto.

[@cesargonzalez7268]

Truth Of My Youth Me too. lmk how it goes

[@wutang5558]

When you adding hp?

[@JayJay-jx3zg]

3:59 more and more sellers are including the carfax, so if you DIY, you don't get that maintenance on record. Nor do you if you go to a lube shop. Buyers might skip your listing if the carfax is empty on the maintenances. Obviously if you keep it till the wheels fall off or trade it in, no worries.

[@leplagesonic9267]

Smart car, smart people I know that when I bought my BMW.
