For everybody saying that BMW sucks or whatever because of different little issues that can go wrong just remember every car has certain common issues and nothing worth having comes easily 😊 I'm on my 3rd and 4th BMW, love every one. They do have occasional issues as do all other cars, regular maintenance and preventative maintenance is key. Take care of your car and it will take care of you.

If you switch from standard brake pads to ceramic ones, as recommended, you'd better change all four at the same time to maintain braking balance betwen front and back wheels. I've had several BMWs over the years and we have two now, a 2000 528i and a 2008 328 wagon (my wife's). Both were bought new. I've done all the maintenance since the warranties expired. Not that much has gone wrong. I change the oil and filter once a year in Spring, usually 8 to 10k miles. Neither car burns any oil. I would change it more often if I lived in a harsh winter area. Failures on the 528 have been: exhaust side camshaft position sensor, $100, less than 1hour: thermostat failed, so I did serpentine belts and tensioners as well, $280, 6 hours; valve cover gasket leaked, so changed plugs as well, $120, 2.5 hours; driver's side door gasket, $?, 1 hour. The back up distance sensor system failed and I left it that way. The 328 had no problems till age 9. Then the starter failed and the valve cover gasket started leaking, both were a lot of work to fix but not expensive (new OEM Bosch starter $148 last year, 5 hours). The valve cover gasket was a pain to change, probably took me 7 hours altogether with a plug change. Did belt, pulley and tensioner in an hour, very easy, Continental kit $108. Both cars run great and feel tight and strong still. I don't think I even had any light bulb failures at all. Please don't tell me BMW cars are junk. They are expensive to fix if you don't do it yourself. Use KZbin videos for instruction and car club forums to learn how to DIY. There are often several videos on a given repair or maintenance job. Do watch them all to get a fuller sense of the ins and outs (some vids are great, some are not). Good luck!

I have a 1997 Lexus LS400, I bought in 2000, which is an ultimate machine with all the bells and whistles. I put a cover over the Lexus and just drive it around the block every now and then... I didn't like that front grill on the new Lexus LS series and the price tag was outrageous... When I bought my BMW, I drove to Myrtle Beach to play some golf and back and the ride was like Ali says, flow like a butterfly.

Problem with ceramic pads is ceramic brake pads can create excessive rotor wear if rotors are not made specifically for ceramic brake pads (which these are not). Even then, they still wear faster than traditional. What instead you should do is do a wheel treatment / coating so you can just wash off the dust and it doesn't stick to the wheels. Everything else, nice video :) The BMW owners are really brilliant and friendly people and have an awesome community, that is one thing that really shines.

Should I be tackling this issue or do I just continue to drive it even thought I have spent roughly 1100$ on parts and maintenance already as the previous owner neglected the maintenance a lot and always took it to a bmw stealer ship only for them to try and charge him a ton of cash and he would always put some of the repairs off and just never got around to doing them and now I bought the car and read the entire 14 years worth of history and nowhere does it say this car had its valve cover, oil pan gaskets changed.

Another vote for Akebono pads. Practically no dust and stops on a dime even when wet and cold.

So a few weeks ago I was eating lunch at my fiancé's restaurant and got into a conversation with one of the girls that work there. I drive bright blue e93 335i and my girl has a e93 328i and they girl had taken notice and began a convo about bmws. She was complaining about the fact she had recently let one of her friends " a 17 year old boy" take her car and wash wash for her one day. When he brought the car back the CEL was on and the car ran horribly. So after taking the car to the shop found out it the boy had been out racing it. Well turns out she never knew much about bmws and the whole time she had the car she was putting regular unleaded fuel in the car and rarely ever changed the oil. It was the f31 lower trim model with the little turbo 4 cylinder .... and I tried to explain to her with "performance oriented forced induction" like hers that you can't run low octane fuel and also compound the problem with no maintenance. Needless to say I feel she has learned her lesson on low quality gas.... and letting 17 year old boys drive her car. 💁♂️ Probably will be the last bmw she owns 🤣

I second the comment about the dusty and fast wearing front brake pads. I replaced mine with ceramic pads when the brake wear sensor on the dashboard came on. The new pads require noticeably greater pedal pressure but create very little dust. The pad wear sensors will have a small strip of metal worn off them when the pads get thin enough to to allow the rotors to rub the sensors. When the metal strip wears off, the brake pad wear indicator light turns on. The Sensors can be repaired by soldering a small short across the remainder of the sensor's metal strip. Keep the short thin, not a large blob of solder or the rotor will rub it off prematurely.

Oil saturated my pulleys and belt and threw it off and now I need a new powersteering pulley and have to fork out another $250 for a crank seal removal and installer tool because the belt wrapped up and damaged it. God knows if I have any belt debris in my engine. Only time will tell. It all started with a $15 seal that took about 20 minutes to replace that is now a $350 fix that will take a good weekend to fix

1) Check the tyre pressure at least once a week, handling goes off well before the pressure sensors kick in. 2) If you like cornering fast throw away the run flat tyres. 3) If the car runs wide out of corners try turning the computer aids to DTC, if that cures the problem you need new / better tyres. 4) On a 1 series or E90 don't even think about cheap oil, Castrol Edge fully synthetic is one of the best. Scrimping on this will lead to a snapped camchain and a totaled engine. 5) Forget the oil change interval in the manual (mine says every 2 years or 15,000 miles) minimum every 10,000 miles or every year whichever comes first (see camchain problems above). 6) Don't drive a really good front wheel drive car as it will show up the BMW's weaknesses and you might wish you hadn't bought one.

DYI Oil Change, ONLY (ESPECIALLY ON THE M (motorsport versions).... MAKE Sure you use the proper grade of motor oil. Example: The N63 motor must have 10-60w oil. . Unsure of what motor you have? There are a few websites the decode your entire VIN number(located at the driver side windshield viewed from outside the car.).Do thorough research to verify the proper oil weight. . DYI Spark Plugs; ONLY the require spark plug design. Platinum, copper(not used much) ect.... do the research its your investment.

Hey Justin, what are your thoughts on BMW no longer offering their legendary NA straight six on any of their models? Do you think BMW will return to their glory days and offer cars that cater to enthusiasts like the the previous 3 series gens (E30, E36, E46, E90/2/3)? Not sure if you already touched on this in a previous video...if you did, I'll definitely check it out!
@justinbuice6 жыл бұрын
I haven't done a video on it yet but it might be a good idea for future content! I think it's too bad that they no longer offer them and probably never will. I think that all car companies, but especially European and Japanese are prioritizing fuel efficiency and smaller turbo engines have proved to be more efficient. Who knows, maybe one day people will realize how great engines like the N52 were and they will become sought after!

I am sure some of the most models have 6 cylinder engines. Because of emissions regs In Europe they are using 3 and 4 cylinder engines. I have a 2005 118d and it's a 4 cylinder 2.0 liter diesel engine. It's a really nice car but expensive when things go wrong. Coming up for 200k miles soon

Recently got a used 2010-128i w/65,000 mi. I'm learning a lot about BMWs that's for sure and I went into it with my eyes open. You always hear about how expensive they are to do this, and how much it cost for that and just let me say that if you want a really decent car then you have to expect to put money into it regularly, just be careful, and pay attention to it. I agree, Beemers are expensive to repair. Neglecting them isn't a good idea. 💰💰 🚗 BMWs are sure fun to drive as your everyday car though.....worth every penny.🚗

@@andrisandris5084 unfortunately not. If you stay with the same insurers then they may give you the benefit of the doubt and not charge you. Once you shop around with different insurers though, you have to declare you had an accident whether it's your fault or not and this will always put your premium up.
