E92 M3 OWNER TALKS RELIABILITY | WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE BUYING ONE

[@vqh]

other than the rod bearings and throttle actuators the e92 m3s are pretty reliable as long as you maintain it well. I just changed the rod bearings at 78k and they didn't look too worn.

[@livingfree9553]

Not the right M oil only 2010-13 models no bearing problems

[@MrDavidchuck]

What’re you implying? Only the years through 2010-2013 have the throttle actuator issues and not the rod bearing issues?

[@commantrosexetlos4700]

Rod issues and reliable? Wtf is wrong with you people? After fixing rods you can call it reliable.. In my country is 3.000 to 5.000 to take out engine and open it.. Reliable🤣🤣🤯

[@mikenorris5378]

Warm it up, WARM IT UP. I own one and would recommend the DCT. Mine has been very reliable but I also get 15mpg. In the UK that's a real issue. Brakes are a weak point, merely OK. Engine is awesome.

[@fredlachy]

When cars had carby engines they needed to be warmed up. Not anymore - get in and drive it gently until it is fully warmed up: Engineering Explained kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnykfZqOedyiq5Y Regular oil changes, servicing and some long trips are the keys to keeping an engine healthy and long lived.

[@ioana2791]

Where did you change rod bearings, can you recommend good garage please? I am also from uk. Thanks.

[@CoffeeMadeMeSay]

Why not manual?

[@superfast30]

The e92 M3 is arguably the most reliable of all E9X based cars. Replace the rod bears and keep up with regular maintenance. They are actually pretty drama free!

[@micraw714]

My e92 m3 has the reliability of a Toyota compared to my 335i 🤣

[@Karim2clean]

My e92 m3 was the most reliable car I’ve ever owned. Bought it at 64k, sold it at 100k, only issues was vcg at around 98k miles and regular oil changes. never changed plugs or coils, coolant, didn’t touch the rod bearings or throttle actuators. It’s a special car and is expensive to run as oil is expensive and it drinks fuel, but it’s say it’s a relatively reliable sport car.

[@simpolang]

you';ve only own it for less then 50k miles. Not much to go by honestly... If you've had it closer to 80k miles then we could talk reliability.

[@Karim2clean]

simpolang 50k abusive miles in a year and a half is definitely considered reliable. At 100k you’ve used a car and it’s bound to have issues. Regardless if it’s a Toyota or a bmw. Ofc a race car is a racecar, the e92 has itbs controlled by a throttle actuator, and a Honda has 1 throttle body controlled by a cable. So yeah there’s more parts to break, but that’s the trade off when buying a performance car. But I do think the e92 M3 is a very reliable platform.

[@KoryGunzz]

I have a 2009 M3 E92. 2nd owner sitting at 56k miles. I have done some of the preventive maintenance, but the only issue I had with my car was my throttle valve control and that was caused by me tuning the car and modifying it. Keep it stock, do the minor preventive maintenance and the car will treat your right for a really long time.

[@St4ked]

Hope to see how the old rodbearings look after you replace them. I know its going to cost a pretty penny.

[@gt1r]

Dieter Morgan I’ve been quoted $2k, I wouldn’t recommend paying much more than that

Great video man!! I have had 2x E92 M3’s in a row and now have a 435m. Geez I miss the E92 M3!! One of a kind that glorious V8! Best car ever! Character plus! I only got the 4 series as the E92 were getting on in miles a I wanted to avoid major problems you can get after 130kms!

[@fredlachy]

Respect the love you have for your beautiful M3. However, you do not need to warm your car up by idling it. Especially not for five minutes! Get in and drive - but keep the revs down until the car is fully warmed up. Engineering Explained: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnykfZqOedyiq5Y Scotty Kilmer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3bEin6jrdCSr8U

[@DrivingCody]

Lachee Brun Hey, thanks for the kind words 🙏🏻. As far as the warming up. I never mentioned anything about letting it idle for 5 minutes. I was just referring to that I had been to talking to you guys while the car was on, and it was still at its lowest temp.

[@ioana2791]

Before driving wheel is replaced battery should be disconnected to avoid computer get crazy :)

[@valks_v]

I've had my '10 for 7 years. 3rd owner, 88k miles and I've literally only done normal maintenance and replaced a tail light bulb. (Other than mods, obviously.)

[@swissmrkc]

You are lucky. Loved mine had for 4 years...from 60k to 125k. Babied it, good mechanic....and still lots of 1-2k bills for shit here and there

[@johnyaskoveakarpaccio4737]

@@swissmrkc well im just curious,is that why you got rid of it? when u say u 'had' mine...id most likely get tired of 1-2k bills at time myself if that was why.

[@85patino]

From my experience the subs and the amp usually go out together. I had both replaced under warranty, first the subs and then the amp since the subs alone weren’t the issue.

[@marcuss6662]

Really nice M car duuuude🙌🏽

[@Timetodriveto]

I have the same issue i have no base in my audio i remember when it stopped working and i never fixed it. Im sure all you have to do is replace the amp in the back. i also have a 2011 m3 silverstone 6 speed

[@Timetodriveto]

ESO ESO it’s sweet bro getting bearings done and a full exhaust cattle’s this year

[@murcielagosv9244]

You should avoid getting below the minimum fuel threshold. It causes extra stress on your fuel pump. Which means you'll be replacing it sooner than it needed to be.

[@DrivingCody]

Watch my e85 video and you’ll understand 👍🏻

[@johncreedon7847]

In my 5th year of E92 M3,s , two different cars. A coil pack went in my first, throttle actuator on the current. That’s it, no other problems. Really well built ,robust cars. Warm them up properly and you won’t have bearing issues.

[@kylee242]

Hey bro I am looking at a 2011 M3 but it has high miles. It has 130,000 miles. Its just shy of 20k is it worth getting so late in its life cycle already?

[@dorian_vlogs]

From a big BMW fan, e93 m3 dct, a new Supra and a 2020 x7 for the wifey, I’d buy another e92/93 m3 in a second. I have other cars and I still love driving that M3. Mine is a ‘13 and it still feels new with 50k miles. Literally zero issues.

[@mr.e5625]

WARNING: If you are not mechanically inclined then you shouldn't work on your own car especially a BMW!!! You don't realize how many people that bring their car into my job because they messed something up. Its annoying to have to go behind some dumbass who worked on their own car and broke their car. don't buy a performance car and call yourself a mechanic/tuner.

[@mienqchau]

Hello there, Shortly I am planning on getting an E92 M3. I believe I have done several research, but as I have known, the "Rod Bearing" is the only thing that well known for E92. Is there anything else that you can think of? Please and Thank you!

[@briceyent896]

So does that m3 still have the v8 or did that engine only run to 2010

[@slowdailys7914]

Interesting, I want to get one in the Future. So just see if the Dealership or Previous owner changed the Rod Bearings, & inspect the Electronics

[@dposney]

Realistically you really let it run for about one minute then you drive and that’s really depending on the weather, in the winter here in Ohio I would give it a few minutes as that 10-60w oil is gonna be super thick in the cold but spring and winter I don’t give it but a minute tops just to let the oil circulate then get in

[@Kipodkid]

So what your saying is its a pretty reliable car thanks noted

How miles does your e92 have

[@abrahamg3354]

E92 M3s are reliable. ANY BMW E9X chassis other than the early N54s is reliable AF. Any F30 is reliable AF. Just maintain them and drive them the way they are suppose to. -owner of F30 335i Msport, E92 M3 ZCP, E90 328i LCI. BTW, Im pushing 50 MPG in my M3 but IDK why though lol. I will say that I drove the ugly ford fusion hybrid as a rental and that shit drained gas compaired to my E92 M3. If we look at it as a tech prospective, a gaming computer with powerful components will take less power/energy to process a simple game like GTA San Andreas while karen's "gaming computer" that she has "at home" which is actually an office computer will need more energy to run the game, the game will be playing a lot less smoothly, making it less efficient and more costly to run. The thing is, the E92 M3 has a lot of power, therefor the engine won't need much gas to pick up and go, while the dangerous and powerless fusion needs so much gas and higher revs to pick up speed at the freeways. Scotty Kilmer even agrees to this, so does Top Gears experiment. How I do it is that from a standing start I somewhat quickly speed a little over the speed limit and then coast to the speed limit. You're also better off switching to lower gears to accelerate faster when needed. If you drive on higher or highest gear to accelerate, you'll take up more time to get to the desired speed and results to more gas wasted. In contrast with lower gears and higher RPMS, despite it wastes more gas, the time to get to those speeds is quicker and more efficient, therefor less gas wasted.

You are not supposed to let the fuel run so low. The manual says 3O miles minimum I think. It could damage the engine otherwise.
