Here's why I Love my 2010 BMW 550ix GT more than my 2016 Mercedes s63 AMG!

[@chasepoodiack6819]

The 550i is a great car. I own a 2020 BMW M550i and it’s a totally different animal. It also has the N63 but in TU3 version with 530HP and 577TQ. The original N63 was a reliability mess but the TU, TU2, and finally TU3 which stands for technical updates made it so since about 2018 when the M550 was introduced the N63 is a rock solid motor with very little reliability concern.

[@chadjesko8704]

My aunt also has a 2020 M550i and I get to drive it sometimes and it is an absolute beast that can bully just about anything on the road. I like to have a little bit too much fun in that car sometimes. In a way it is also kind of a sleeper car because of how unassuming it looks.

[@willmuthler8316]

A great car for Nick not a lot of money but safe and see how well he takes care of it to keep it

[@dmsbroadcast9386]

The 2010 BMW 550 iX is a phenominal vehicle for Nick. The 2016 Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG is beyond any doubt😁. Greetings from Germany

[@billstreber5194]

Definitely a great car for Nick. No way would I put my kid into a American muscle car after just getting his license

[@camaromhs1178]

Why not.... you can get 4 cylinder and V6 Camaros and Mustangs. He could get in way more trouble with that BMW.

[@fabienpoupon8493]

This BMW is still a crazy powerful car, it is not realy wise to put it in the hands of a young inexperienced driver.

[@taylorandsonsgarage]

I see you won the red Volvo can't wait for the video on it

[@jessebailey2718]

Love this car its cool as heck i love weird cars i have 2 2006 jetta diesel with 5 speed manual kinda hard to find at least in montana

[@Mr2_online]

Hey Randy, the storage tray in the Mercedes trunk extends downwards. Just push hard down on the fabric, and you can put heaps in it. Stops groceries or fragile things from moving around.

[@lifeistooshort1112]

i agree with alot of other people give the bmw to nick for his first car

[@gunnerovergaard9646]

The GTs have always interested me. I just bought a 2012 X5 with the N55 and have been very satisfied so far. I have kids so I need the extra space. Coming from a 98 Lexus LX470.

[@stevenn4020]

I also love the trunk/hatchback feature of the BMW. Very cool!

[@2003cobramustang]

Love both cars! Hopefully the Benz is easy to fix fingers crossed! I’d take the BMW

[@uneducatedmechanic]

I pick the BMW just based on the versatility.

[@MikeJohn-tb1yp]

I always admired your channel

[@scott-gg8iq]

Give the car to Nick

[@adamcar1234]

I currently have a 2020 BMW M5 Competition and a 2018 BMW 740i and love them both. I prefer my BMWs but I would consider a Mercedes C63 or S63 AMG

[@sgttombailes3380]

The BMW by far !! I still have my 2006 BMW 530i w/ 90K miles. Bought new and dealer serviced. Always garaged and Still Show Room Perfect. Artic White w/ Tan Leather interior. Gorgeous Car !! People still ask me ~~~ is that new?

[@FatSal619]

If wasn’t for that hatchback, Tha BMW is far superior over that Benz. Only my opinion Randy,that Benz is still Bad Ass. ☝🏽

[@nathankim7664]

I'd take the BMW over the Mercedes any day! It all comes down to how much was spent to buy it, the maintainence, and the insurance. The BMW is older, has less "fancy" electronics, and is "cheaper" to maintain *when* *compared* to the S63 AMG. I think this is a great car for Nick in high school! If he wants that fox body, then he can buy one later down the road!

[@treymartin1522]

i have a 2010 528i (n52 I6 which is completely different) with 212k miles and i haven’t had a single issue. i like my interior far more then the E class and it drove way better then the benz. parts on my car are surprisingly cheap and it been extremely reliable. i bought it in september 2023 with 184k and now i have 212k. that should tell you something

[@charlesking1244]

Great Video On This Randy, That BMW 550iX GT, Unique Vehicle, That One Was Well Taken Care Of, Sweet Car.. The Mercedes Benz AMG S63, Beautiful Car As Well, Monkey Wrench Mike Special, Maybe Work A Deal With Him On That One..

[@adrianowen6524]

Lots of people i know that have owned bmw or have one still to this day randy have had good experiences with them, and i wouldnt mind a bmw to be honest and around these ways it seems to look like there's a lot more bmw on the roads compared to the merc not sure if they just might be better car all together my self i wouldnt think so i do like the looks amd sound if a lots of merc's to man some look killer man hell ye, like the vid randy see you in the next my guy!. ✨👌👌✨👍👍👍✨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿✨

[@brandonseider1510]

Randy if you put the shifter to the left when you are in drive it will put the transmission in sport mode as well

[@haskellburks]

Hello Randy. The 2016 Mercedes Benz s63 AMG is a good looking car. And the 2010 BMW is a good looking car. The BMW turns into a spacious car in the back.

[@mikepriceup]

500,000 subs by the end of the year my friend.

[@edwardjbarton]

The salvage title on the BMW (assuming that anyway) makes it a great Nick car. Resale value is low...and he will get more utility from it than you'll get selling it.

[@danielkern1110]

Hi Randy, I just saw your video on the Mercedes and BMW and if it was my choice, I would pick the BMW over the Mercedes any day. I like that car. I’ve always liked BMWs but I’ve also cared about Mercedes too but I would pick the BMW over the Mercedes any day myself if I could I hope you and your families having a good day and if you would tell Nick and Jessica, I said hi. I will talk to you guys again soon. Talk to you later.

[@TimboWhite-sh6bb]

Good Morning There My Good Little Bro Randy Lee Shear Of Auto Auction Rebuilds

[@Paul_Caruana]

I have to wonder if part of the reliability problems with this, and other, bmw engines were due to (at least in some instances) inadequate servicing and/or not allowing the turbos to cool down sufficiently before turning the engine off.

[@IKhanNot]

It was due to the high heat in the V of the motor plus the fact that BMW programs the vehicle to run at 105c to 110c water temperatures. Add in way too long service intervals and these motors cooked themselves rather soon. IF you install a cooler thermostat and change the oil more often it will be far less problematic.

[@chrisoliver9442]

Personally , I would get BMW I've already had one once before ! Mine was a 528 ! That car was pretty fast too ! I looked down at the speedometer on my way to work one morning and I was doing 95 in it ! It didn't feel like it at all !

[@scottroberts5529]

There's also a sport transmission mode when you move the gear leaver to the left

[@kenlaw04]

I would like to have both cars lol. I’d daily the bmw and weekend the benz. I’d just have to get the windows tinted and put some new wheels on it. I didn’t like those GTs at first but it has grown on me over the years. It having the v8 definitely helps me like it. And even Nick likes it. That would be a cool and fast first car. I hope he gets it.

[@krevo6c]

You got me surprised on the Soft-Close-Doors.

Randy since you own the dealership could you sell a car to yourself to transfer ownership from your dealership to you? Been curious about that

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Yes I can.

[@joelharris3073]

Almost 500k dude!!!

[@lennon126]

AMG S63 💪🏾. All day everyday

[@JasonAlexander-uz4ns]

Great idea Randy to keep and let other go and possibly a car for Nick good deal . Not to expensive for a young driver .👍

[@davesantos456]

Mercedes hands down! BMW seems very nice too but it’s the AMG for me

[@richroj]

I love it too, Rebuilds. its very nice 👍 I love the hatchback option

[@The_Laser_Channel]

That shelf in the Mercedes trunk looks like it would be ideal for a laptop bag. It would keep it out of sight for people that break out peoples windows to reach into the trunk area. It wouldn't be bouncing around all over the trunk or anywhere in the cabin. That may be what its really for, who knows what they had in mind for it

[@IKhanNot]

As for the Benz with the trunk accessory you have to push down on on it to expand the bag. You can put grocery bags in there.

[@ronwig7665]

Randy I got a 328I ,I getting 24 mpg .I love that car

[@michaelcoffey7362]

Good video 😀

[@daryl252000ify]

Got to get your hands on an Audi S6 or S8!

[@Scott-m6p]

I think you should get the BMW detailed up and polished

[@Albebacck]

Is basically a 7 series vs a sklass because the 5gt is based on f01 7 series. The problem with compression is that the sklass is top of the line loaded and 5gt is kinda basic spec. Also last button on seat is for the thight support part which should be automatic and is broken

[@Ava-tz2ip]

The screw drive plastic gears shred

[@adrianowen6524]

I'd pick the BMW randy and that's for the last question you asked right at the end there but if have to go with the idea you had alsow with firstly tint the back dark and tint the front to and maybe 🤔 think of changing the rear defuser if you can with a aftermarket one and a front one maybe that's it nothing else I don't think that should look a very nice BMW for the money and would last like two or more years man!.. ,💯✨👌👌✨👍👍👍✨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿✨

[@oddjob61]

Some non-blended repairs that the camera really picks up, on that BMW, the driver side rear door has been replaced or repaired and possibly passenger side behind the rear passenger window. I know you've said it's just the light, but it's not, they've been repaired or replaced. Always can see these on these youtube videos when it doesn't quite match, not just yours, other channels also.

[@Bison90]

"What you talkin' 'bout Willis?" I've owned both BMWs and Mercedes and there is no comparison I will never buy another BMW unless it is a classic 1989 BMW 635CSi BMW stands for Bring My Wallet.

[@carlbernard4197]

Does the S63 have an hour meter as well as its odometer? I am thinking the Mercedes-Benz needs its sparkplugs changed, and the coils checked . 😊

[@thetechgenie7374]

I personally prefer the BMW even with the N63/S63 motors which was known for reliability issues and I know as fixed a few including having to replace these motor as rod bearing love to fail on them and then the old rod though the block. You have to keep the oil level to max and most people don’t, then combine the valve stem seals going hard and dual turbo these engines have a huge oil consumption even when motor is 100% and seals are good. People don’t realize it and of course rod bearings goes bad. The. You have the crap plastic guides in timing that become brittle and break. Yes the original N63/S63 were a disaster waiting to happen. Thankfully they resolve a lot of the issues with the later TU versions of the engine. I just like the way the BMW drives and how large space you get. Then again worked at a BMW dealer as a master technician for years so kind of know them well. The Mercedes is built better especially interior but still prefer the BMW . I just use to them and comfortable to drive long distances. They just ride smoother, faster on takeoff. I do my own maintenance and fixed a lot of issues so keep it running good. Plus have the later more reliable TU engine. I always say I wish you got the built quality of the Mercedes and then the BMW would be a perfect car. Being your made it to over 100k means someone actually took care of it and actually did the maintenance and likely fix the common design issues like timing guides, valve stem seals and other issues. Do agree the Mercedes is just way more expensive to maintenance despite the BMW typical N63/S63 issues.

[@jeanclaudetheodore1162]

The check engine light is for spark plugs and coil packs

[@ExploringAutoJames]

Didn’t know that bmw was so cool

[@JO-ku1uc]

Glad to see the Volvo on the channel. Not so much the Mercedes and BMW as they aren't my style. The vids are a bit out of order chronologically. What's going on with the Town & Country minivan??

[@dragos2010full1]

the reason that you find the 5 series gt so good is cause it is based actually on a 7 series f01 platform so is more of a 7 series than it is of a 5 series

[@jason7078]

Give the car to nick!

[@IKhanNot]

For the Benz my guess is either wiring harness has oil in it or bad coils/plugs.

[@davidbenji1]

Throw down a bid on that thing and see if you can pick it up for $175!!

It would of been faster if you had put the transmission in sports mode also by moving the stick to the left......

Randy I hear your preaching on a inferior car towards the mercedis. I say this because BMW made for 2years waranty in Europe. We drive cars with speed in Europe and people owning BMW buying new one within 2 years because of it's out of warantee and then the problems starting. You yust a very lucky in buying these cars. Hope your luck is not changing, but personal i cannot wait for your videos on making repairs on these European cars

[@NikoletNieves]

Honestly I'd say it would be impossible issues they're both great cars I think it's the Mercedes-Benz has more features and I would probably choose it over the BMW the Mercedes-Benz is really far superior in build quality but what are they honestly they're both really great currency to get really lousy gas and I'll let you go honestly too quick but if that's your thing driving cars to get really lousy mileage in the air or gasoline prices are absolutely outrageous go for it you must be a clown that has a lot more money than me to be going out and spending that kind of money for those cars

[@jennaemullins7612]
