Impulse Buying a BMW E46 for $750 with a Blown Head Gasket 🤦🏾‍♂️

Welcome to my channel today we purchased a 2004 BMW 325 I for $750 can we get it running and driving enjoy

[@MMIV-GAMESCAPE]

This me with my 1995 toyota Celica gt. Legit bought it for $550 with my first pay check after spotting it on Craigslist. Legit never drove a trailer before but hooked one up, drove 1 hour to CT, brought it home, couldn’t get it off the trailer so paid 150 bucks to a tow company to yank it off cause it’s got 2 seized brakes, needed a new starter, and had been sitting for 8 year. Just gutted the interior today to do clean up of the mold and get it looking smexy. Do i have the money to insure the car? Nope. But it was worth it.

Bros the king of yappin, jeez

[@arathsalgado1904]

Like why’d you buy it for lmaoo

[@deandremitchell6790]

​@@arathsalgado1904He thought it was a good deal, but cheap German cars are never a good deal really. There maybe that one out there but most of the time not really. Sometimes is worth it if you specialize in that brand or vehicle and REALLY know the problems those certain cars have and know what your getting into

[@deandremitchell6790]

Take it from a E46 owner here, if you plan on just replacing the head gasket before you disassemble the engine re-torque the head bolts (this is to check to see if the threads in the block get pulled out since the engine is also aluminum). If the bolts don't get loose tightening them then you are fine with just doing the head gasket, but if they do get loose then the block is no good and just better off replacing the engine. With the M54s in the e46 with the block being aluminum when they overheat the material gets soft and ends up pulling the threads out of the block when you tighten the head bolts. It all depends on how long and how hot the previous owner let the engine get before the head gasket finally failed. Hope this little bit of info helps with your decision

Thank you very much. I was actually doing research about that so I’ve decided just to put new engine in it just to save myself the hassle of that potentially happening thanks!

[@kylepatton2423]

Put an S52 in there or get rid of it.

[@awesomegamerman2452]

its probably worth more in parts than that, so you could part it out if its unsalvageable

[@TAKU.2X]

For sure thanks !

[@joegoh1968]

Great car to rebuild.

bro just buy m54b30 motor 1k Canadian and manual trans zf 5 speed for 1200 slap it in list it for 6-7k 3k all in 3k profit (cad whatever the exchange rate is for you)

[@kelpodelpog5395]

My guy simply checking the oil before you buy could’ve avoided this

[@Abilich822]

How can you be disappointed after buying one of the most unreliable, expensive to fix beamer there is in existence??

[@deandremitchell6790]

They're not unreliable, just owner's don't know how to maintain the car properly. You can't let any of the bmw cooling systems get neglected or you'll be in this situation. BMW cooling system is the down fall of the car, most people think it's like a Japanese or American car to if it gets hot and continue to drive it'll be fine but it will not be.

M54 unreliable are you mad? Most reliable petrol bmw engine made in existence along with the M52 😂 mines on 261k and still runs flawlessly

[@robsweekendgarage]

The worst thing about an old bmw is its previous owners

[@05Elantra98GSGang]

@@deandremitchell6790no they absolutely are unreliable my uncle bought a 323 in 2000 and had the car until 2016 drove it 175k miles he put almost $60k in dealer repairs into it over the life span of owning it that is extremely unreliable in my book where as my family friend put only a few thousand into their 1998 Lexus GS300 with the inline 6 3.0l 2jz through its whole life span until I bought it in January this year an they owned it 10 more years than my uncle owned his 323

[@Jonathan-xj4pb]

please restore it, it will be worth it 100%

[@TAKU.2X]

Yes! More videos on the way

[@uselessDM]

You didn't have to put blown head gasket in the title when talking about a BMW. It's redundant.
