I Bought a Cheap Twin Turbo V8 BMW at Auction with a Strange Message on the Windshield

Go to buyraycon.com/samcrac for 15% off your order! Brought to you by Raycon.
I bought this 2000 Cadillac Crystal Coach Hearse at Copart Salvage Auction with Mechanical Damage. The bid was super cheap but in the end it ended up costing over $1000 to get rid of it. I also bought a Twin Turbo V8 BMW 550i with a locked up engine, I tried starting it anyway.

Hi Sam, as the hearse had a spare, why didn't you put it on?

This happened to a friend of mine when his car had 65K miles and he called bmw HQ and bitched about it they ended up giving him a discount on a long block instead of paying 7600 for a long block he got the engine from the dealership next to him for 3500 and payed a thousand dollars to get it installed it’s an amazing car

Hi Sam. That might have been my old car. If so it was stolen last year. After recovery the Insurance company had deemed the car beyond repairable and Totaled the vehicle. It always leaked oil (would have to add a quart of oil very often) and had battery issues all the time. Though the car is beautiful and very powerful it was a lemon from the time I got it. Best of luck. Happy to give you more information on the car if you can determine if it came from Nashville.

As the program was, BMW supplies a short engine, it has heads, valve covers, spark plugs vacuum pump, water pump. I put one in and it was $12k with all the other stuff, injectors, turbos, gaskets, seals, one time use bolts and fluids... brand new updated engine with zero miles. It's actually more like a long block, with new turbos and tune it's easy 500 horse and running perfect. The program for replacement BMW was covering 90% of the short engine cost. In other words it's a $30,000 engine that you get if you're lucky it's going to be $9k to $15k with labor and stuff. The one I did took me a a week but held up the hoist for almost a month waiting for parts.

[@andrewlace]

Great video Sam, appreciate watching someone humble enough to admit their losses. Keep up the good work.

[@craigsanislo7458]

Sam keeps buying cars that I have, and have the same issues. My 2011 Range Rover is about to need a timing chain, and my 2014 550i got a new engine under warranty six months ago. Keep it up sam you rock and these videos are great!

[@murry001]

You literally bought 2 of the worst cars you could possibly get lmao

[@craigsanislo7458]

murry001 depends what you’re looking for in a car. Personally, I don’t care about reliability so high end European cars don’t scare me. I’ve been able to manage the costs of my Range Rover through a great independent mechanic, doing some work myself, and good parts suppliers. The BMW is under CPO warranty and they’ve now covered about $48k of work on it. If I REALLY need to get somewhere, I have a Tacoma.

[@MrCarGuy]

A 535i with an N55 modded and tuned is far more reliable than one of these engines stock. I know it is because Alpina's variant has twin turbos and revised tuning making more power and torque. Crazy how badly they messed these up.

Hey Sam, I have a 2012 BMW F07 550i GT. It was serviced it’s whole life with my local BMW here in South Florida. At 114,000 miles, I’ve had an above average high mileage BMW ownership experience. Car is in great shape except for a fuel supply/drivetrain malfunction warning. Codes showed low pressure from high pressure fuel pump and bad O2 sensors pre cats. BMW replaced O2 sensors and gave it a clean bill of health. I have a sagging panoramic sun visor, a result of a shattered spooling mechanism. At 2,600 to repair, that alone nearly totals the car. Haha. I love the car. I will completely fund the engine swap even as it runs perfectly. I want to swap up to the S63 and fully bullet proof this engine. I’m a machinist and would fabricate all fittings as needed. Would you be interested in a collaboration? I would leave the car to your channel and your expertise. Either way, thanks for all the content.
