I also love your attention to detail with the intro colours and outro! Well done.

[@jonesy-rh5fk]

Really lovely car, and a prime example of why there’s not much point being scared of high mileage cars - as long as they’re looked after properly there’s not much to worry about. Either way, 93k miles over 12 years equates to less than 8000 miles per year, which is hardly repmobile-esque.

[@thoughtfuldog5424]

Good to see a car of this age on the channel, looking forward to see how it develops.

[@jamesobrien4498]

Hi Shmee, the light warning code could be the vanity mirror bulb- had that on my E91 or an interior light

[@Kakoriat]

Love seeing cars like this Tim. Congrats on the purchase, I believe you will have a lot of fun with it. As a 987.2 Cayman S owner I cross shopped the 1M. The Porsche won me over with it’s beautiful balance and great noise but that 1M was a hoot to drive. Looking forward to future content with this vehicle, hope you enjoy it!

[@catxls1835]

The fault codes can be mapped out Tim. Cool video, cool car and I imagine, a great adventure! Thumbs up!

[@stivesyy]

Hi Shmee I'm guys! So excited for all to come with the 1M.

[@Shmee150]

It's going to be a fun build

[@ShanesAutos]

Really nice car, always loved the 1M. I know you don’t want crazy power out of it but a nice aftermarket exhaust, a remap and upgrade the air filter system would be just perfect to give it that little bit more of a kick. Also before you swap the tyres you gotta smoke the old ones, it’s what an M car is for 😉

[@mitchellsteindler]

Never tune a bmw

[@ShanesAutos]

@@mitchellsteindler why? Remapping it and an exhaust isn’t much of a tune in the grand scheme of things.

[@mitchellsteindler]

@ShanesAutos because they don't run reliably in a stock state let alone a tuned state

[@ShanesAutos]

@@mitchellsteindler there’s a lot of people running around in tuned BMW’s that would probably disagree with you. I had. 2017 420d and despite everything I’ve ever heard about BMW reliability it was perfect and never threw up a light.

[@XxZiiruSxX]

@@mitchellsteindler I've been driving mine for 44,000 kilometers with 570 hp and nothing has ever broken apart from normal service, so don't talk nonsense if you have absolutely no idea and have never owned such a car. All these sayings were narrators about what is good or not and never had such a car are simply fools anymore.

[@QBDLettuce]

If I'm not mistaken, the 1M rear differential is the one from the E46 which from factory, brand new and mint condition, is a very aggressive and clunky at low speeds differential. In a good, performance oriented kind of way.

[@Sam-lq2jh]

I think its asking for the Topaz dry ice treatment

[@TimWilliamsHD]

Luv it! Aston is very good at explaining what he’s checking too which is helpful!

[@lloydbellis7360]

That was a good purchase, nothing needed until your build 👍👍👍

[@jack_da_niels]

Comparing it to my E92 which looks pretty similar in a lot of places and having pulled out the complete rear-axle and replacing nearly everything down there - would also say looks pretty good 🥳 Not my favorite color but apart from that nice car. Enjoy it.

[@vatsalverma999]

Excited for the Yianni video and the new Zenvo too

[@AlexCapi]

For the cheapest 1M looks really well taken care of and with regular oil changes the N54 engine can last well over 300k miles easily.

[@Globalx59]

maybe the engine block will not the turbos hpfp cam bearing ledges coils water pump and valve seals lol

[@XcoolcoolbeansbeansX]

@@Globalx59 don't forget replacing $4,000 worth of fuel injectors every 3 years, burned up MOSFETs in the ECU, valve cover, engine mounts, every cooling hose ever, etc.. The only redeeming quality of the N54 is the block and the rotating assembly.

[@dennispatrick4999]

Just a horrible color. BMW should be slapped.

[@mitchellsteindler]

What're you smoking my dude 😂. It's one of the least reliable engines in modern history. There's a reason they replaced it after only a few years.

[@Globalx59]

what the diagnostics dont tell you is if the injectors are in good order, they have a tendancy to leak and if the cars been sitting for a long time they can wash out the piston as they are direct injection. you should have the index numbers looked at when it goes in for a service. i have done many of these injector and coil jobs and BMW never admit there is a problem...

Get a walnut blast on that engine, N54 is notorious for carbon build up! Also that headlight error is likely from water in one of the ballasts (very common in these)

[@sidrens1047]

As big fan of Tim and the channel I do feel it’s lost a bit of continuity of content. Respectfully, one video is reviewing a car, next a road trip, next Shmuseum, next restoring a modern classic, next visiting car collections etc… I feel the Shmuseum channel needs to come back which would resolve this. Also, it’s Tim doing everything and as brilliant as I think he is - would be so good to break things up with Tom and Brad returning - adding some humour and fun!

[@matmul4850]

Apparently the Shmuseam channel was taking too many views away from the main channel. Seeing as so much of Tim's business is connected to the main channel he couldn't let that continue, so he had to mothball the Shmuseam channel. He did mention in a previous video that something will be happening with the Shmuseam channel soon though.

[@sidrens1047]

@@matmul4850 cool! Thanks buddy

[@Shmee150]

It wasn't taking away views, it was taking away time at the detriment of the main channel. We brainstorm as a team nearly every single day on a best next step but there are a lot of factors and it's hard to figure out.

[@Alejandro_BoniIIa]

Oh what about a dry ice cleaning on the underside!

[@HalfdeadRider]

93k isn't that high tbf, especially as it had one owner and no doubt was well looked after. My old E36 328is had 150k+ miles on when I sold it some years back, and it was still very nice to drive, MOT's not a problem, not loose and noisy like some old high mileage cars, and it was quite a bit older than this at the time.

You could also have done the opposite like me, and get a 50k miler with 9 owners lol

Nice to see a Bimma back in the garage 👊🏽💙🤍💙🤍

[@OllieM2Comp]

Very nice car. 😎 That light warning you get but all lights are working could be a faulty GM module. That module are a known fault on this generation BMW when it have been little used for a while or been down on battery power over a long time. You will not get any faultcodes for that. Only a light warning that will go away after a while. Its possible to code away the warning for light error. But then you will never get warning when a bulb will go out either. 😅

[@realitykicksin8755]

Check compression first. Check deposition with an endo cam. Sparks, belts, headgasket, oilpump gaskets / orings, oil + filter change. Dyno it to see how much power loss. Then dampers/coils, wheel bearings, wheel bushing. Change gearbox oil. Basically allthe stuff that is not showing on the OBD2

Halo space is just a little too bright, Shmee; it should maybe be a darker color in there so accent lights don’t wash out the room

Nice car, worth keeping. One of the more interesting cars in the garage

[@RustyBonnet]

Even though i have a F21 M140 i still miss my E81 123D. In the real world, it was a great car. Quick, economical, compact and comfortable. It left me with 165k on the clock. Get a set of Michelin PS5's on it and it will be great. The 140 came with Pilot Supersports when i purchased it and they were awful in the wet. Currently have the older PS4's mounted and they are so much better. Suspension refresh, new tyres and brakes is all it needs and those aftermarket Android screens are terrible. Keep it stock.

[@peterdelamare]

[@DiscoR53]

The HPFP is going to have to be replaced, valve cover EGR, valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, BCM, oil filter house gasket and a bunch of other little things. What ever you do replace the battery because if it dies you may not be able to get into the trunk easily. Or replace the engine with an S55 from the M 3/4.

[@Acquiesce77]

Small tip that you probably do but make notes of all fault codes found. Time, dates, DTC, any other info as clearing them you lose all that info and makes it very hard to diagnose if the fault happens again! You can build up a history of all faults.

[@HalfdeadRider]

There were no codes, plus if he deleted any and not investigated and fixed the issues causing them, for the most part they will just come back. Some codes just show after removing certain components and refitting or replacing them, those can just be deleted and forgotten about.

[@Acquiesce77]

@@HalfdeadRider History of fault codes makes it far easier to diagnose a fault correctly first time. Been diagnosing cars for a long time now!

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@Acquiesce77 If you've been doing it a long time now, you should understand what I just said. The fault code tells you where the fault is, an old code that has been deleted does nothing to help, new components can still fail.

[@Acquiesce77]

@HalfdeadRider you do know not all fault codes point to a failed component? There are several for air path for example that are not related to a compnant so frequency of code along side other stored codes would help. Just deleting the code and waiting for it to come back is no way of diagnosing a fault. There is no need to be patronising either

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@Acquiesce77 I never said you should delete a code and wait for it to come back, I said clearly that just deleting a code without investigating it and fixing the issue will result in the code coming back. Air path? you mean a Lambda sensor? it will certainly point straight to a faulty Lambda sensor. I'm sorry you are feeling upset, but I'm just replying, I'm not being patronising lol

Lamp failure lights are standard on BMWs. I have a 3 series and warnings are always on even without a failure. Lol.

It’s really funny how a “bmw specialist “ is telling us that oils need to be changed at 90-100k when in fact if they would read what the gearbox manufacturer or the differential manufacturer recommends in terms of oil change would be in the region of 25-40k or 5 years ! Which ever comes first. When you’ve got money it doesn’t matter what interval you change anything, cause if the car breaks down you take it back to the specialist:))) Hey Shmee ! Tell your specialist that I’ve heard of an oil brand called RAVENOL and they have 17 different types of 5W30 oils, of course you don’t want any of them yours is for life :)
