Hey Scotty Kilmer, my grandpa parks his car in the driveway. It’s inclined a bit and I’ve been telling him to put the parking brake on. He doesn’t believe me that it would do any harm to the transmission. What would happen to the life of the automatic transmission if he keeps doing this over time? And on average how much does it cost to fix a transmission?

Kudos to Mr. Kilmer for featuring this video!

Do you know anything about cost of ownership associated with the n52 motor and the e90 platform? It would appear not. Plenty of examples out there with 200+k. This motor, especially the run after his model pre-lci, is a gem. If you’re ok with a corolla, get one. If you prefer enjoying your motoring youth and having some fun, what this kids doing makes total sense, except it’s a shame it’s not a manual.

Thank you for giving me a chance to showcase my car Scotty. I'm looking forward to some more of your DIY car repair videos because she's 11 years old now. I always laugh when you make that grunt to emphasize that you've tightened a bolt 😂. More detailed video: @ the custom rgb lighting wasn't shown, the subwoofer wasn't shown (and underseat woofers), the door BMW logo ground projectors weren't shown, the RGB light up stripe wasn't shown (scotty cut the video). To answer some questions I saw in the comments: - the head unit is by Avin: PX5804GB32-E90 - the exhaust cutout is by EvilEnergy: 2325H Some further details: - I plan to redo the interior carbon fiber wrap when I replace a broken side panel trim piece - This car pulls sound from head unit to feed to an amp that powers a JL subwoofer in the trunk in a ported enclosure. The existing tweeters have been modified with capacitors to increase clarity. - There are also 2 Pioneer 10" subwoofers installed under each seat - the amp is by rocksford fosgate - The kidney grille tri-color logo was an experiment I created with neon light tubes inside plastic clips that resemble the color of the bmw M logo, it is meant to be controlled by a remote relay, but since the plastic is brittle, and the clips are visible from the sides of the grille, I will probably remove it. - The m performance sticker on the dash is actually positioned improperly and doesn't look great and I pealed it off. - The keyfob allows you to roll down all the windows, but you must physically insert the key into the door and turn it to close all the windows and the sun roof. - the backup camera is concealed in one of the rear licence plate illuminating LEDs and previously failed. I used some waterproofing to help ensure that it wouldn't happen again.

328i,325i and 330i are the more reliable E90 3 series to own. The 335i and 335is are always prone for more frequent maintenance because they come with turbos, plastic water pumps and had recalls for their oil pump. I know someone with a 2008 335i and he replaces the water pump and some other parts every 20k miles. But they’re not bad cars if you aren’t lazy to research in KZbin and Bimmerforums, shop at Pelican Parts or ECS tuning, have some kind of passion in ghe brand and do most of the maintenance on your own, plus an access to a garage with the necessary tools. I think the best BMWs to own are the non-turbo ones and ones with less electronic options added into it such as electronically adjustable suspension.

[@akronorka]

I can attest to this, my e90 has been a pleasure to own for the last four years, and I purchased it for about 10k. Just made sure to cherry pick one that was cared for. The inline 6 is a real gem, sure beats every Japanese 4 cylinder I’ve owned (5).

It was never garaged and sat outside all year round including Pennsylvania winters. I was very meticulous with maintenance and washed and waxed it every week if the temperature was over 45 degrees. In the 12 years of ownership I replaced the brakes once, the top twice, the headlight assemblies once and replaced the clutch at 198K miles. The only reason I sold the Z was that I moved to Ecuador.

Nice Bimmer! BMW has always been my dream car since I drove a 2002 520i 5 speed in Germany. That car with a small 2.2 liter 6 cylinder would cruise effortlessly at 130 mph (210 kph) on the autobahn while giving the impression of only going 70 mph. The brakes and handling were the best I've ever experienced, simply awesome. I then knew why they called it the Ultimate Driving Machine. But over the years my opinion of BMW has changed.
