Keep in mind many ppl do little of this for 1st 100k miles. That 8 or $9k is spread out over 5 or 10 yrs in order to get 2nd 100k miles out of it from what I can tell. Throttle actuators destined to fail and obviously plugs but you can DIY actuators, rebuild them (replace gears) for 2 or $300 including much more durable after market gears. I only have 55k miles on mine but zero issues so far, eventually will do some or all of these things no doubt, hopefully proactively as I like to road trip it. I wish more info was provided here on mileages, condition of replaced bearings and so on. I look for single owner cars as those that have 4 or 5--no one "owned it" they just rented.

Rod bearings are the only item not common amongst most other vehicles, every other item goes out in every other car. I’ve had Infiniti’s lose throttle bodies and idle control valves. To save cost I use FCP Euro. All parts come with lifetime replacement, all parts you buy. An example, after my initial purchase of an oil change kit, my oil changes now cost me $45 in shipping as often as I want to do them.

Honestly, this video makes me want an e92 even more. For all you gear heads out there that love tinkering with their cars this is the perfect car for you. Go to a shop. Ask them that if you can help out in anyway you can. Learn and absorb all the knowledge, ask questions, pick their brains apart. People who are passionate about their trade love to share and educate others and it makes them even more happy knowing someone is learning from them. Something is very calming about working on cars, and something is even more calming and confidence boosting when you know you can do large jobs such as working on an s65. If you’re able to change rod bearings, throttle body actuators, doing valve adjustments, replacing key gaskets around the motor, doing coilovers and fine tuning suspension- what can’t you do? Yes it’ll cost you money. But if you’re truly a car lover then the e90 m3 is a car you’ll love to drive everyday, and when stuff goes wrong. You’ll want to learn how to repair it.

Replaced console buttons $210. Soon will be swapping clutch in the next 10k miles. All in all, the car is fantastic. I think it’s very well worth the purchase. Amazing car.

Some other common “failures” with the e92 m3 are definitely leaking valve cover gaskets and the ac not blowing cold (evaporator going out $3k parts and labor). I had most of the repairs serviced at a dealer so the costs were definitely up there. Warranty paid well over 14k. Your videos are very informative dude. Keep it up.

Nonetheless, at the time of this happening my car was worth as per Kelly Blue book $7800 the repair would have been $4600. Keep in mind BMW dealerships charge you $900 per Coil, multiply that times your cylinders and then add labor. I know I could have repaired it myself, but no the ignition coil were placed in a way that one was in the back and the other was easier anyways, labor was insane. The crack in the motor block was however an issue that would have cost way more and what they told me they would do was just a patch not a fix... and it would come back...

Ok" the horse power is less but in the end the whole picture is way cheaper and reliable. We're now at 190,000 miles and the car/ engine is still purring well. Like any BMW, or any other car for that matter Maintenance is key as well as the knowledge of how to do all the work yourself. Now if you love track day we'll our E92 dose very well with the N51 3 stage manifold with a tune and ready 155 mph sometimes a little more. Do 3 runs, change the oil and continue the fun...! And then beginning of the week back to work. Hopefully you have a wonderful race day, your car is spectacular brother good luck, and wish you well..BMW forever..!

Great info and props on your vids. Very well done! Might want to add brake vacuum sensors, O2 sensors, brake sensors, wheel speed sensors and brake pads, only about another grand or so...

Quit this idiocy call rod bearing replacement unless ypu addressing main bearing too..
@TankTactician2 ай бұрын
I bit late but wow the Bearing's are expensive in the US. In Germany where i live its like only up to 800 euros for a Bearing change service, parts and labour combined. The actuators are also far less expensive here. a few hundred bucks for new ones.

BMW M Sport Pak. E92 328 I NO it's not a V8. But reliable yes it is. Naturally aspirated motor. No turbo problems, No rod bearing problems, just plane fun, now for 13years. Yes" if you like tickets buy a V8. But it you want pure driving experience in your Bimmer go ahead and find your ride. After all BMW is The The Ultimate driving machine.

Watching this is giving me PTSD. I sold my '11.5 IB e90 M3 a few months ago after owning it for 5 years. I thought I'd never sell it, but after years of little problems not including RB's but including TA's and other minor stuff and needing the money I find myself in a position to get another fun car. I've driven multiple f80's, 1 f87 m2, two e46 M3's and road in a couple of e60 M5's. I miss the s65 and looks of the e90, but I do not miss the unreliability! I'm really leaning towards a f80 or a e46 330i ZHP or M3 ZCP.

just bought my e92 m3 last weekend. it has 65k miles. i dont expect to put more than a 5000 miles on it per year. Already scheduled a rod bearing replacement. But shop said BE bearings are backordered and they have a waiting list of 12-13 people waiting for them to come in. Maybe I'll use the time to tackle some fluid changes myself. Ill prioritize DCT\Diff fluid. Coolant and PS fluid will be done during RB replacement. Last owner just had brake fluid done 5k miles ago

BTW aftermarket is fine especially sparkplugs. In Germany these cars are common and thus don't listen to Americans who baby them, I use copper spark plugs in my e92 to boost performance because they are $2 each lmao please stop thinking these cars are rocket science.

All who own a BMW know. Do the work yourself. Otherwise your screwed. And ok, but you still have to pay someone else. We do everything ourselves. Parts are not that bad in price. The mechanics out there will kill you royal..
@aishefasani5635 Жыл бұрын
Wow and to think at one point these cars were $64K+ new lol. It's sad that BMW continues to crap on hits buyers generation after generation with little to no care. But whats even more sad is the people who know this and continue buying them. With the E92 M3, you have to pay almost $10K to assure that your car will run decent...for a little while. Embarrassing...

M3=💵💵💵💵 for repairs even a simple oil change that’s way I have a E-92 328i much more reliable and does not hurt the bank for repairs. For those wanting a BMW M-car I highly recommend to stay away from them unless you have the 💰 then hey enjoy it and have fun other than that I meet people who make 6 digit figures and after the warranty was out on there m cars they got rid off them perspective for the day.

Nice explanations and footage. But for me in an explanation, it is not necessary to state repeatedly: "....actually it is just a......" or "...it is very simple....". Please leave it up to the viewer to determine wheter somethig is complex or simple, please just explain what a device does and how it does it.

One of the main reason's why people have such issue's with bimmers is because of how most owners drive them. Ok it's a sports car I get it but damn, I live in Southern California & everyone I have seen with one of these cars hauls ass everywhere even in between traffic lights, their cars are all loud AF & don't let 2 of these fools see eachother on the same side of traffic cause the drag race will be on especially if your on the freeway that is if it's not too crowded cause you know L.A. traffic......
