[@pastperformance2285]

Recently test drove a 340i and it’s nice to have bmw making a classy sedan that’ll last longer than the payments. A good recommendation

[@cammgt3rs370]

Dude I have a 2014 335 at 132000 miles now. No lost of oil between oil changes and runs very well. Doesn't have to be a B58.

[@DaleEarndhardt]

Love the shoutout to Audi here. Not many people really understand how good their cars are

[@axs7689]

I have the v8 Mercedes E550 with a stage 1 tune. Going on 105k miles now and still incredible

[@doctorrobert60]

I bought a 2006 BMW Z4 M Coupe new. Now 2024 and remains trouble free but only have put 35,000 miles. Is my second car and enjoy it immensely.

[@ScottDreyfus]

That gs is the no brainer

[@copperwiezi]

hey Trav, do you have a list of luxury sport coupes?

[@twoswords4318]

Strange, you were mentioning the VQ37HR and showing an engine bay with a VR30DDTT.

[@petrolheadforever196]

I love Mercedes, but the E 550 has known issues. The engine known as the m278 has the bore scoring issue and oil can leak onto the wire harness that can damage the ecu. I wish it wasn’t true because these cars are amazing. And have amazing power.

[@eldon2308]

Audi, lex or e-class (had all three) 10 outta ten

[@hz1056]

what year E class ?

[@BocaAtractivo82]

Audi's 3.0Ts are a gem. I miss my 4M Q7 supercharged variant that had an GOAPR stage 1 tune - it just wants to go keep going faster. Now in a stock B9 SQ5 turbocharged variant a fun vehicle to drive - waiting for warranty to be done to tune stage 1 remap

[@christiandunbar532]

Extremely corny how you have been putting the little red bar. It actually makes me want to watch less because “oh I must’ve stopped watching because it was boring” but I guess when you have been reup loading the same content over 10 years. I’ve never seen an actual BUILD from ideal cars, I’ve never even seen these guys work on cars tbh.

[@christiandunbar532]

Edit 3 years

[@techno_kidd6211]

Where is their R8?

[@acevalentine5250]

This is a just a list channel revolving cars bro it’s not that serious gtfo.

[@TheHockey991]

It's called clickbait, and most youtubers do it. They do it to make more money off you, you lost.

[@shinigamizzz5372]

If I realized the video was uploaded by ideal beforehand, I would’ve never clicked on this video.

[@Paisis1]

Great job. I own the BMW, Audi cars of this review and they are truly reliable, luxurious and good for the money as long you maintain them they will run for a long time!

[@lostlothbrok7156]

My w204 C300 is past 200k miles, 0 problems, 0 broken components, just regular maintenance, cheaper than a E class

[@dennis5909]

My love for BMW 😊

[@robertborne895]

Fourth Generation Acura TL should be on the list. It is Based off the Honda Accord so it should last a long time. They have between 280 and 305 horsepower. It can be had with all-wheel drive. Full leather interior. Big enough to carry five (interior is bigger than the E-Class and Infiniti Q50). Wired and wireless phone integration (sorry, no CarPlay nor Android Auto). Heated memory seats. Navigation {yes, older fonts}. A fantastic ELS audio system!! And by far the best part….you can get them with a manual!! A smooth shifting Honda manual at that!!

[@DonnieB_83]

Genesis G70 and Kia Stinger GT

[@ianellwood10]

Would you rather have an X5 or an X3 M40i? Right around same price

[@albieannandale708]

Audi SQ5

[@shabazzhead5608]

Way to show the VR30 engine while talking about the older years on the Q50

[@harlandingessjr952]

ok, maybe not [cheap] but the lexus Ls460, as well as you do your basic maintenance and filters,will nevet die and let you down.Ive jad mine for over 5yrs,and the only big bill was a replacement radiator and hose.Penziol plat makes the v8 run like a church mouse. I swear by it.Just every 5000 or less,new oul,filter, and your good!!!!!

[@NightsN2dr3ams]

I believe it Lexus are smooth like butter. My brother has the RC350 F-Sport

[@b.stone01]

I loved my 2011 B8 S4 but it was a maintenance nightmare. I guess I bought too soon.

[@FernandoGonzalez-wz7co]

You missed the Infiniti qx70, is a Q50 with SUV body and all wheel drive

[@nirav2524]

340!❤️‍🩹⛓️

[@omarcaldera6125]

okay, but where are some places i can buy on of these

[@cdnmetelhead4013]

My first and last time watching this channel.

[@pmb6287]

Tough choices but make mine an E-Class!

[@gordonyz4]

Fully loaded 15 GS350 Fsport and fully loaded X3 M40i.. still want that LC500 for V8, although its reliability is not as stellar

[@Jeff.with.a_G]

That v8 is super reliable. It’s been around since the ISF

[@NightsN2dr3ams]

The GSF any year is even a better car high performance with excellent reliability.

[@psmwrx]

2013 B8.5 was the first year for the fully electric steering rack. The first years are known to FAIL. It's a $3000 - $4500 repair. They tended to fail juuuuSSST-a-bit-outside 3yr/55k mile powertrain warranty, of course.

[@mcld4214]

Owned it for 2 years have 190k miles and this is the first im hearing of this 😅

[@romankartsev220]

do you recommend audi sq5 or bmw x3 m40i for reliability?

[@markjohnson2079]

SQ5 all the way man!

[@romankartsev220]

@@markjohnson2079 but isn’t bmw m40i inline 6 cylinder more reliable, smoother, and without vibration than a v6 cylinder in the Audi?

[@ameerskater]

340 in the 17s...? yeah with 150k miles, be realistic guy.

[@FloydThePink]

a 2015 list? jeebus

[@peterb5464]

The 3.0 engine has timing chain on rear of engine.

[@hEXordo]

M113 and M273 have entered the room, everyone else can go home.

[@NightsN2dr3ams]

Lol

[@Johnny-zo9mm]

BMW B58 engine is great…. So far. But the other issues with BMW or ‘ANY’ luxury German cars are also their expensive to fix electronic systems, when it fails, and they do fail more than the other Japanese luxury cars!

[@TK-gd9td]

Just coolant issues is all I’ve heard of so far being somewhat common

[@user-sg6tf1bn7o]

Haven’t heard electronic problems on b58s tho. I’ve seen some at 250k miles already too

[@cammgt3rs370]

Also 2016s had fuel injector issues.

[@user-sg6tf1bn7o]

@@cammgt3rs370 then don’t buy that year lmao there’s another 10 years you can buy from

[@digzero]

No acuras to make the list? 😢

[@cornwallace3758]

Acura might be in the “luxury” car segment but an acura does not look like a luxury car sedan/coup until you hit the face-lifted integra or the nsx…the body styling and interior simply does not exude luxury. They are on par with the honda EX-L quality.

[@Noum77]

Thanks. I want more

[@MatosJr1004]

The 340i , the W212 and the Q50

[@mervynmontague1811]

Interesting and informative 🇯🇲 💯

[@ashar1353]

As a 2nd gen G35 sedan owner, i am leaning towards the Q50, and being a fan of the B58 i'm leaning towards the 340i as well😅😅

[@abdullahmonfared2492]

Infinity and their transmission?? Never an automatic from them

[@Dennis-du4jh]

If you're gonna put a 2000s era mercedes on this list then you might as well put a maserati qp5 on there. As someone that has owned a first gen cls550, the build quality is very disappointing

[@richardike2342]

So, only German & Japanese cars. NO AMERICAN CAR.

[@Synful_]

American luxury car?

[@EG01988]

You chose to put that title on the video and an Audi on the thumbnail are you kidding Audi is just another word for broken

[@cbarber5366]

Wait youre saying Audis BMWs and Mercedes that will never die!?

[@kennyd7667]

the bmw b58 has been very reliable so far and the audi v6 supercharged is another really reliable engine, can last a long time and pretty robust

[@blade643]

Q50 has a cheap interior. it should not be that high on the list lol. poor take brother

[@carlbrooks90]

A modern 2jz? FOH don't ever compare Japanese with German

[@syntrexhd8523]

Sorry but none of this Cars are „Luxury“

[@barearerarehare]

The X5? If you like your wallet don't buy this car

[@NightsN2dr3ams]

LOL

[@Molloy1951]

This thing of trying to be funny at all times isn’t funny at all, guys. Your copywriting feels juvenile, folks…

[@markela1313]

I can tell u one thing, this guy has no idea about cars. Never worked on them, never had one of the cars he talking about on here. Well, the lexus should be a better car, Infinity is not to bad. The metcedes can be better compared to Bmw or Audi or other ones but u need to know what years to look for n what models. Good luck to everyone. God bless us all.

[@speltwrong9009]

X5 full of shit.

[@khayalethu.mtshali]

Clickbait 👎🏾

[@TheDailyDriver]

The Audi ones… engine is good but everything else around it will go to shit. lol

[@NightsN2dr3ams]

Lol

[@trapps75]

All those vehicles.are money pits except the Lexus don't buy the rest unless you fix cars yourself or you have money to throw away and you don't care

[@gas-clutch-shift476]

Luxury cars require luxury money. If you want a car you can cheap out on buy a Corolla

[@silverfox3778]

When did most of these become luxury vehicles? Luxury is 6 series or higher/Porsche/Bentley/Lambo/etc. Not Lexus and low end Audi.

[@Max-vs7rc]

Stopped watching after seeing a 3 Series and a A4 considered "luxury cars"

[@olympbarca3313]

Because they are

[@Max-vs7rc]

@@olympbarca3313 What do you call a 7 or 8 Series and a A7 or A8 then???

[@gas-clutch-shift476]

@@Max-vs7rc still luxury cars duh. 🙄 like are you slow. Those are luxury brands. So everything they make have luxury in them and around them. Also he said S4 not A4 big difference.

[@Max-vs7rc]

@@gas-clutch-shift476 if you are driving a 3 Series or a A4 and want to delude yourself that you are driving a "luxury car" just to feel better about yourself, that's up to you buddy. To each it's own. But again, if/when you step up to a 5/6/7/8 Series or A5/6/7, how in the world are you going to call them cars???

[@oak108]

​@@Max-vs7rc I'm guessing you have shopped for a car lately. 3 series ranges from 45-115k USD depending on which boxes you tick. That's as much as a house in some parts of the USA. Luxury isn't just half a million dollars Rolls Royce and million dollar Ferraris.
