[@mikereed9963]

Hey Scotty, I always thought this was the sort of car you said one should avoid...like the plague. A 12-year-old BMW with a V-12 sells for around $11 - $15k. WOW, that's cheap for all that gimmicky luxury and plenty of carefree V-12 motoring ahead. If you're only making minimum wage, you would have to be insane not to drive a German V-12!

[@barozanul2]

Anne Bradley nah, România, but still is very expensive considering our monthly wage is about 400 - 450 usd, the prices are like in the west, so...

His car review made me realise we really don't have anything revolutionary in today's cars. It's pretty much 10-20 year old technology that's revised and "polished" to make it glamorous for each new generation.

[@YOLOnyc]

Very true! Drive a 2019 Nissan Altima and it has a remarkably similar roadfeel and performance to a 1991 Nissan Sentra, except that it gets better gas mileage.

[@sharadmathur668]

Except that all the safety technology ten years ago was available in high priced luxury cars. Now you can get lane assist, pedestrian detection, blind spot detection for much cheaper these days. That's how tech works, its available early on in high priced products then gets cheaper.

[@thebest12700]

Sold it off as is to my neighbor who worked at a dealer. He uses it but said I made the right choice. The engine has plastic parts and the electrical system was a mess. It is a cool car but unless it has been maintained to perfection, don’t ever buy one. It is a true money pit

[@thehuntinguy]

Luxury cars are often the first to get innovative features. All the way down to safety that is on every car nowadays. Cadillac has what is called Super Cruise on the top tier model which uses cameras and lidar, as well as maps and GPS to allow the car to completely drive itself on freeways. There are talks of this feature eventually coming to other GM models.

Also the headlights turn when going around curves. Parking sensors (my favorite), heated steering wheel and some other things

[@YOLOnyc]

@Potato when you corner hard and it stays level to the ground with no percievable body lean, it sure feels physics defying - also makes you feel like there's no limit to it's grip - I've never cornered it hard enough to lose traction on dry pavement, feels like it's impossible to do (obviously it is possible though, lol)

[@YOLOnyc]

@@gtarules1 active headlights are a neat gimmick, they are very noticeable in parking garages since their point of light moves on the walls as you turn the steering wheel, it's neat but of limited benefit. The heated steering wheel is amazing!

All this tech on a 2006 car, but most cars don’t even have half the tech now!

[@drjd2real]

Go buy one and watch how many of those features don't work anymore. I looked at a few. Some had busted stereo speakers, refrigerator didn't work, lights on dash on, and check engine. They headlights aren't that great compared to current standards and are a pain to upgrade. If you can get the scanner to read "no codes" then it might be ok, but any problems after will be expensive. It doesn't really turn heads anymore and no one gives a damn about a v12 engine nowadays!

[@valentin5801]

@@drjd2real you never touched one of those marvelous automobiles. He only mentioned half the features, and does v12 engines are literally the best gas engines. If people trash their cars that doesn't make it a bad model. But of course that car was not made for you, it is for people with money.

[@viimelaanpere4738]

Exactly. The car itself is top notch, it was above 100 000$ when it was new and it still has options that many cars don´t have today and it that aspect BMW 7-series, Audi A8 and Merc with their S-class are the ones who come up with new features (Audi A8 with LED-matrix head lights for example). Running a low mileage 7-series, well kept car would take at least 10-15k a year as a second car, considering you have competent service station. If a 7-series BMW was previously owned by some careless owner, it would take a lot more. There are things that fail with E65/66 BMW, including the audio system (in most cases it´s the amplifier), also steering rack because of the enormous weight of the car. The Infotainment system of this BMW was also something new for a 2002 model year, a in 2003 it was introduced in a E60 5-series. It was a new thing back then and it doesn´t seem special now, but kind of shows that BMW set the trend with their system.

[@impulsivedesigns]

My civic has things this doesnt have... Auto steer? Radar guided cruise control?

[@iMadrid11]

drjd2real - The chauffeur would appreciate the V12 engine. Especially when he’s not paying to fill it up with gas. People who can afford cars like the 7 series brand new usually don’t drive them. So it’s kind of redundant IMO to jam all of those driving aid features to be enjoyed only by the chauffeur.

[@alekwhite8402]

Fixing the car would be a different story. You have to get one of those 5 grand scan tools if you want to fix it yourself because the dealership no matter how much money you pay won't clear any codes unless they deem it is fixed right, in order for that to happen they have to redo everything themselves.

This is the second time I own one of these, and to be honest I've had zero failures on the electrical gizmos. What really breaks these cars is the brittle plastics used for pipes and hoses in the engine compartment. Other than that, normal maintenance will keep you rolling for years. Great quality cars!

Beautiful car, but way too many electronic/mechanical interior parts to fail. You're gonna need very deep pockets to fix that vehicle when the time comes. We had a brand new Black 735i with a front spoiler, fog lights and many extras. Back in 1985 that car cost $40,000, so 21 years later $120k sounds about right.

[@aidenp5768]

At this time you should expect that to happen already but it’s still running hard 12 years later.

This BMW was way ahead of it's time and with the quality and engineering that is sadly missed in today's BMW's. I've owned BMW's for 20 years and have since moved to an American luxury truck. I disliked the change from the naturally aspirated v8's to those cheap jacked up turbos. Also the handling prowess that earlier BMW's had is sadly missed along with the exclusivity in luxury in their vehicles today. From around 1999 to 2005 or 2006 they seemed to have had their best years and product lines. It's been all down hill from there, as there are too many models and they charge too much money plus they give you less quality and less vehicle. A sad testament to what was the envy of all other auto brands, as a ultimate driving machine and one of the great world class automobiles.

[@abrahamvidal8307]

You r absolutely correct, there's nothing like 03 m3 or m5 series. Truly awesome cars to drive

[@grimreamer2512]

zeroyon223 for sure, I'm glad that there is a trickle down on normal cars. Generally you can't scan to figure out shorts, burnt relays, or actuators. Symptoms can be really bizarre if something is half dead. I think that is when you can use forums to any great affect.

[@ivanmarquez126]

I can say this was the first luxury car i ever sat on when i was 11yrs old and i used to think wow this car is amazing felt like a rich kid for once lol and said to myself im sure cars in the future will take this info and apply it to their vehicles to look more futuristic. Now im 27 yrs old and cars like hondas now have dual screens paddle shifters Bluetooth heated seats but ofcourse still missing alot of the technology this bmw has, im thinking the 2024 hondas will have a fridge for my lunch and seat controls in the back seat for my daughters to be comfortable... Its amazing how technology, busyness and humans work... Great video👍

i owned a 745li, it was the worst car i ever owned, repeatedly broke down and repairs cost a fortune as well as parts, not to mention that you can't move it at all unless it's on (can't put in neutral while off) it came down to the point that it was burning oil and shooting out smoke on one of the mufflers due to me being unable to fix it yet having to rely on it, such a fix required to pull out the engine and that was costing 4k! not even at the dealership either but at a bmw certified mechanic shop, im just glad its off my hands now, sold it as it was for 1.5k, because really, that car was just a bunch of high-priced junk.

NO car is worth more than $30,000 $35,000 and a $120,000 BMW is just an example of someone having more money than common sense. Buy a $35,000 dollar car and save the other $90,000 for retirement.

rc121crx I agree. But it's probably because of the type of this channel..As far as i can tell from the couple of videos i watched, this channel is not about the usual new (expensive) cars you would normally see on most car reviewing channels, but rather about old (and most of the times ugly :p) but therefore cheap, reliable, and easy to fix cars that just get the job done for a small budget. So people here say they would rather drive a corolla than a 7 series or some Mercedes. They feel like this car is a money waste and therefore hate on it.
