Justin Buice Love your vids man. Simple, honest, humble reviews and DIYs. Just bought my first BMW bout 6months ago. '09 E93 335i w/10k orig miles..a beauty. Haven't had any issues(fingers crossed) but wouldn't expect any with the mileage anyways. Your vids are informative and concise. Keep it up bro.
Hay man cuul videos. I watch your vid's, cause I don't have a car but I always wanna be up on them. And your editing is good, and the audio is also good. cinematography is good also. ok All the best Shaun of NYC
Do you have any videos on a 428i coupe 2015 vintage? Just bought a 31,000 mi used.... I should get many years out of it...but do they have any flaws I need to watch?
Just got my first BMW which is a 2008 E90 328xi 6spd manual with 80k miles and with all service history done at the dealer. It was also only owned by 1 previous person, which was a woman in her 50's, and I got it for $8k USD. Hope it lasts awhile without too many headaches. It's such a solid and fun car to drive!
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 TH-cam 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!
Amen! My first car was a 2008 328, then I had a 2016 328, now I’m in a 2019 330 and my wife has a 2019 x3. DIY maintenance is cheap and doesn’t require nearly the technical skills you would think. Way more fun to drive than a generic car
Man I just bought my first bmw 2016 320i with 17k miles and it’s sooo many videos of bad comments about BMW, I’m like geesh or ppl actually trying to make me feel bad. I’m like bro chill.. but I don’t drive bad and I had a Camaro and just wanted something different. I like my car. Def loved this video. Made me feel better. 🙌🏾💯
Thanks for your list of tips! Having an independent mechanic and doing some of the work myself has been a great help financially. I would like to add plan ahead, and be patient to the list. Car problems can be frustrating.
Yep had the 530 m sport was an m54 engine. Same one in the e46 m3. Called an s54. Magnesium alloy head. Super great straight six lump. Will out last all the turbo lumps now. I have twin turbo desiel now. F30 model.
I have always been pretty much a Lexus driver I now drive a BMW very afraid of the car so much bad stuff out here but it's warrantied but I'm still very afraid of it I only drove it to work and I won't be driving it to work much lately either listening to you gives me peace of mind smile smile smile
Some good advice there. It applies to any make, not just BMW. I've just bagged a 1995 E36 BMW 318i SE saloon (sedan) and I'll be doing as much of the work as possible myself. Genuine OEM parts from the dealer aren't always expensive and are sometimes on a par pricewise with good quality aftermarket parts. I'm glad we don't have those oil change places here in the UK unless you count Kwik Fit (one of the tyre and exhaust "fast fit" chains).
I have a 750Li & a 528i, both are a blast to drive. Take care of the car, it takes care of you. If you can, do most of preventive maintenance yourself. Save yourself a ton of $
I recently purchased a 2016 428 through Carvana; the dealership wanted to sell a similar car with more miles for 2.5k more WITH hail damage. They are the only BMW dealership in town and they charge some insane prices!
Do you measure Octane different in the US, compared to Europe ? The lowest Octane here in Germany is 95. Premium fuel has 98 and special fuel from a big company even has 102 Octane and you can get it at almost every of there stations
Any kind of "little" leaks are a must fix, especially oil filter housing and oil cooler housing leaks. 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
Jumped on a good deal never owning a BMW before and already knew 3/5. My only other car was a 2008 Mazda6. I'm not a car guy, but I do go through the manual when I don't know things. Guess that's that eh?
Just sold my BMW today. It’s a nice car to drive, and yes the look and the feel is amazing, but even after doing preventative maintenance, and there STILL being issues. I mean if it’s just my bad luck than I guess I suck, but that can be someone else’s problem. I have a 2015 Nissan with all he bells and whistles, I’m saving the rest of my money for a trip overseas, I have no regrets :)
which bmw was it? and honestly just to tell you the truth the nissan is actually worth then the bmw now nissan is owned by a french company their so unreliable now
Star Ships I agree the newer Nissan went down, my girlfriend has a 2006 Pathfinder with 160k miles and that thing never goes to a service shop, runs like brand new, the newer Pathfinder are rubbish compared to it.
I bought a 528i its used and I love it . one person called it a sexy beast and another called it sexy. I parked in valet and they kept it up front with the other pretty cars I've never had a pretty car Before
Got my first bmw yesterday it’s a 2003 325i lol I’m definitely getting it serviced ASAP lol I’ve heard the stories of people not taking care of their bmws which gave bmw a bad name lol my first foreign was a Volkswagen lol
TKS... great vid ! Just subscribed 👌🏻....very useful info I have an X6 35i 2014 ... I'll check your channel for gen info... God bless! Again, Tks a lot 👌🏻
Man I really do gotta learn how to change my oil he said everything I was thinking about the shops and I didn’t know that about the gas glad I found out about it this soon yeah definitely subscribed bro
So actually the 15 mins o change places such as valvoline instant oil change will have most oil filters for a bmws but they have to buy it from bmw so there is an up charge for the oil filter and with the base price of a full synthetic oil change it covers only up to 5 quarts and most bmws take at least 6 quarts or more so there is an up charge for that as well.
Not a bad video, but I want to say (because I am a BMW tech at a dealership) that the price increase isn't because it is a "European car", It's because it's a luxury car with a hefty price tag. I mean this isn't a Hyundai we are talking about. I literally had to buy all new tools after leaving an independent shop. It is also engineered like no other car. BMW is the ultimate driving machine for a reason.
Yeah that’s true! People need to keep this in mind because even though these cars can depreciate like crazy, the cost of service and repairs will still be expensive compared to some other brands. I think a lot of people will buy something like an E90 thinking they are getting a steal on the car, but then have sticker shock when they take it in for service
Pretty sure you can drive on 87 I used to have a 338i 07 and I ran that hard on 87....91 is recommended but not required....it will run on any octane and be fine. It it's required that's a bit different....my 428i also says recommended but I still put 93 in her for now
heres my expierence with Bmw as a mechanic. If you buy one maker sure its a manual transmission. If you dont know how to drive manual dont drive a car at all but if you must than maker sure its a newer one that has that newer 8 speed auto. The auto transmission before that were pos, I can pretty much guarnteee at about 120,000 your having some issues coming and thats cause every bmw i worked on across the board was a transmission issue and at about 120,000.
2006 BMW 325i - Great fun and comfortable, super power V6. loaded. Love it! but there are a lot of things that should be better, trim inside and out (crap) door locks and key fobs, always problems, expensive to fix, so I do my own maintenance. I've owned almost all brands and I still love BMW. It feels good to drive it! Steptronic so can be Auto or Manual. Want a car that doesn't break down often? get a Corolla! (I have one and hate to sell it). Never broke down since 2005 when I bought it new! just Oil change every 3k miles, brakes and tires. Great transportation car. / Can't compare the drive with the BMW. All I have to say!
Ive owned numerous BMWs and after a while its just a car. My favorite after all of them was an E70 X5 diesel. Issue free aside from oil and filter, tires and wipers. Worst was a 6 series SMG. Most impractical - E92 M3...it was a silly car.
You obviously know your way around cars so you can keep maintenance and other common BMW issues cheap, but most BMW owners don’t even know how to change the oil, so to them I say have fun owning a money pit.
Hey! *Late commenter here* I'm thinking about getting my first BMW (2006 5 Series 530xi) do you have any tips to save money on repairs? Any good tips to remember and do a lot of these apply to the same model im getting? It's my 1st car and really love the feel of it. Thanks!
Thanks god for you & your videos your a great help just bought my first e60 2004 having driver airbag & passenger airbag fault how can I clear them? Please help
Do you have a list of most used/essential tools for working on the BMW. I have 2008 e92 coupe and want to start 'DIY' projects but need tools and car ramps to get under the car. Any and all suggestions or video would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Paul
I have a 2007 z4 and I'm try to pair my Samsung S8. My phone says can't pair and check device settings. Got any ideas? Also, I don't have the owner's manual with the passkey. However I did use "1234", "000", and "111" as passcodes and nothing. Same result. Thank You
I have an e39 m5, and oil changes that I do myself are a lot more than 50 dollars. It's $14 for one quart of 10w 60 alone. For non M's I guess it's pretty cheap.
Why dont you run a synthetic 0W30 or 40? Unless you have a PRE march 2000 model, there is no reason why you cant. There were SO MANY changes to the TSB's its insane. Long story short, after the piston ring update in 2000, the S62 can handle a much wider variety of synthetics. Its general knowledge now that Castrol and BMW were in bed with each other on marketing. From a scientific standpoint, there is no reason for the S62 to be anchored to 10W60.
Ralph Menta good to know, I'll have to check on that a bit more.. it's my first e39 so I just went with what I read on some forums and confirmed in the manual.. and then just kept doing it without thinking twice. I've always used other brand synths in my m3. But yeah I have an 03 so it's definitely post piston ring update which I was aware of... and I had heard about the Castrol bmw marketing thing.. almost due for another oil change.. so I'll probably rethink it this time.
+Official Moises Escobar depending on the year, many 3 series and 5 series share the same engines so they are both pretty similar. It just a question of do you want a big car
Justin Buice i test drove a 3 series 2014 pre owned and i felt like it was a bit too small for me, then i heard that the 5 series carries more horsepower with more room not to mention the interior is a little different. Honestly i don’t know which one would be worth buying there both on the 20-30K range.
Everyone says BMWs are not reliable, I am looking at this BMW 335i right now. I was wondering if anyone had/has a 335i, is it reliable? Please help out!!
My 2015 F30 Hybrid has Motor Plan. BMW come fetch my car and return it washed, polished, after every service. BM will come to my house and put oil in my car. Lol. And if I ever breakdown BM on call will tow me anywhere in the country. Not to mention the wide range of courtesy cars BMW offers.
Hey i am about to buy a bmw 3series 320d touring from 2009 but mine doesnt has that display above the radio, do i have a prefacelift or was it an optional thing?
Hey! I like your DIY videos. I am a student from a business family and I wish to buy a 5 or 3 series. Can you tell me if doing these self repairs voids warranty if I have their BSI plus packages. Are they worth getting at all? Also, lets say you do some modification and some accident happens after that. Not becase of it, will they still repair the car or just upfront deny it like microsoft does for xbox consoles?
If you get a car with a warranty, I'd just let the warranty cover the repairs instead of doing them yourself. You just have to read the warranty paperwork closely because a lot of times, modifying the car in any way (even changing the wheels in some cases) will void the warranty.
Is it true that the maximum octane you can find in your country is 93? The minimum octane in sweden is 95 and the maximum thats in every fuel station is 98 octane. Awesome video btw!
Hello Justin Thanks for the videos. I live in France and I want to buy a BMW, what do you think of the BMX 525d: 177 hp, diesel, touring; 2007; 238,000 km. I am 7 and I am looking for a safe and comfortable car to travel
I replaced my brakes and rotors recently and the I am still getting the warning light. I looked and now it says I need brake fluid. Is that easy to find or do I have to take off stuff to get to it?

Every bmw owners should know their car has blinkers
Antilaakeri hahaha
So true hahah
Antilaakeri everyone should know that BMW drivers will not touch turn signals.
I don’t get the joke?
not funny
Hi Justin, always wanted a bmw, after a while of watching you’re videos I got motivated and bought my first, and happy with mine…
Thanks

Any issues ?
I've occasionally used 89 midgrade in my E46. Runs fine. I think knocking is very rare with computer controlled engines nowdays.

5 things you need to know when buying a bmw indicators are an added extra, this is why they are rarely used
Guilty
Lol I just bought my 1st BMW, so am waiting for myself to forget how to use them
I use mine, not all bmw owners are arseholes 😠
I have a bmw and I use my turn signals all the time. I even use them when I don’t have to.
I hit a pothole, blew a tire well and never got a low pressure warning lol.
Pretty sure you can drive on 87 I used to have a 338i 07 and I ran that hard on 87....91 is recommended but not required....it will run on any octane and be fine. It it's required that's a bit different....my 428i also says recommended but I still put 93 in her for now
No no no! No mechanic! If you own a bimmer you fix it your self! It's a DIY car!

Never broke down since 2005 when I bought it new! just Oil change every 3k miles, brakes and tires. Great transportation car. / Can't compare the drive with the BMW. All I have to say!
E60 is the best
The minimum RON for my F30 is 95, thankfully here in Australia we ha 91, 94 E10, 95 and 98.
Thanks for the advice. I subscribed. Looking forward to more vids man
Nice edition! Great video, very helpful!
Ive owned numerous BMWs and after a while its just a car. My favorite after all of them was an E70 X5 diesel. Issue free aside from oil and filter, tires and wipers. Worst was a 6 series SMG. Most impractical - E92 M3...it was a silly car.
You obviously know your way around cars so you can keep maintenance and other common BMW issues cheap, but most BMW owners don’t even know how to change the oil, so to them I say have fun owning a money pit.
Just bought a 13 BMW 550I w 128k miles. $5,000.00 at auction. Ill keep you posted
Hey! *Late commenter here*
I'm thinking about getting my first BMW (2006 5 Series 530xi) do you have any tips to save money on repairs? Any good tips to remember and do a lot of these apply to the same model im getting? It's my 1st car and really love the feel of it. Thanks!
Thanks, because im getting one this summer 👍🏽👍🏽
Do you need a fancy scan tool to work on these cars? Like the expensive ones that cost a few grand?
Sounds really expensive to own..Is a 2015 BMW 116i a good buy?
Thank you so much! These tires were killing my pockets!
Thanks god for you & your videos your a great help just bought my first e60 2004 having driver airbag & passenger airbag fault how can I clear them? Please help
If you're crying about maintenance costs you're too poor to own a BMW.
dnavas77 or too cheap
Or have been driving quality Japanese vehicles
or you have brains
@@TimothyNyota hey, hey hey we have brains... Not too big, but we have😝
Facts man!!
Liked and subscribed. Just got my first BMW.
Do you have a list of most used/essential tools for working on the BMW. I have 2008 e92 coupe and want to start 'DIY' projects but need tools and car ramps to get under the car. Any and all suggestions or video would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Paul
Just did a video recently :)

I have a 2007 z4 and I'm try to pair my Samsung S8. My phone says can't pair and check device settings. Got any ideas? Also, I don't have the owner's manual with the passkey. However I did use "1234", "000", and "111" as passcodes and nothing. Same result. Thank You
I have an e39 m5, and oil changes that I do myself are a lot more than 50 dollars. It's $14 for one quart of 10w 60 alone.
For non M's I guess it's pretty cheap.
Why dont you run a synthetic 0W30 or 40? Unless you have a PRE march 2000 model, there is no reason why you cant. There were SO MANY changes to the TSB's its insane. Long story short, after the piston ring update in 2000, the S62 can handle a much wider variety of synthetics. Its general knowledge now that Castrol and BMW were in bed with each other on marketing. From a scientific standpoint, there is no reason for the S62 to be anchored to 10W60.
Ralph Menta good to know, I'll have to check on that a bit more.. it's my first e39 so I just went with what I read on some forums and confirmed in the manual.. and then just kept doing it without thinking twice. I've always used other brand synths in my m3. But yeah I have an 03 so it's definitely post piston ring update which I was aware of... and I had heard about the Castrol bmw marketing thing.. almost due for another oil change.. so I'll probably rethink it this time.
Great Content Bro 💯
Thanks!
Thanks man I have one 328i xdrive is real good and I love t
Hello great videos. I would like your opinion on the 2012 BMW 328 XI 4D Wagon. Appreciate the time and effort I look forward to more videos!!!
All German🇩🇪 cars are great.

Hate when I drop some the right side lol
I have an 08 came with tpms
I have got bmw 320i e90 but everytime when i switch off the engine fan keep running for 1 hour before it switches off
Looking for my first bmw. You think a 5 series is better than a 3 series? Looking for a pre owned one not to mention im 19 years old.
Official Moises Escobar 3 series all the way man. Get a non turbo inline 6. It’ll be more reliable
Keith Burris so no twin turbo?
+Official Moises Escobar depending on the year, many 3 series and 5 series share the same engines so they are both pretty similar. It just a question of do you want a big car
Justin Buice i test drove a 3 series 2014 pre owned and i felt like it was a bit too small for me, then i heard that the 5 series carries more horsepower with more room not to mention the interior is a little different. Honestly i don’t know which one would be worth buying there both on the 20-30K range.
Keith Burris 5 series. just bought a 545i a while back and i am very happy with it because of the room and the v8 engine
Everyone says BMWs are not reliable, I am looking at this BMW 335i right now. I was wondering if anyone had/has a 335i, is it reliable? Please help out!!
Mobile 1 I use on all my cars
Man buy yourself a M car will you, stop wasting time on standard BMW plus it will boost your views and subscribers
You are my TH-cam best friend.
Thinking of buying a 98 BMW 528i, what should I look out for?
Any tips about reliability of bmw 328i xdrive coupe. Please someone answer
im thinking of buying a e39 530i (m-sport, facelift) for my first car, it's either that or a volvo 740/940 or a mercedes 190.
I would take a 740 every day xD
My 2015 F30 Hybrid has Motor Plan. BMW come fetch my car and return it washed, polished, after every service. BM will come to my house and put oil in my car. Lol. And if I ever breakdown BM on call will tow me anywhere in the country. Not to mention the wide range of courtesy cars BMW offers.
Hey i am about to buy a bmw 3series 320d touring from 2009 but mine doesnt has that display above the radio, do i have a prefacelift or was it an optional thing?
Really helpful, very much appreciated. 👍
Glad I could help :)
@@justinbuice definately mate, thanks 👍
Hi...which brake pads you suggested?
Thanks
Just bought a 535i from 2010 with 90k km on it. Glad I found this channel. Subbed.
SleepingDrag0n i had the same one and my transmission was leaking at 110k just a warning
Hey! I like your DIY videos. I am a student from a business family and I wish to buy a 5 or 3 series. Can you tell me if doing these self repairs voids warranty if I have their BSI plus packages. Are they worth getting at all? Also, lets say you do some modification and some accident happens after that. Not becase of it, will they still repair the car or just upfront deny it like microsoft does for xbox consoles?
If you get a car with a warranty, I'd just let the warranty cover the repairs instead of doing them yourself. You just have to read the warranty paperwork closely because a lot of times, modifying the car in any way (even changing the wheels in some cases) will void the warranty.
Is it true that the maximum octane you can find in your country is 93? The minimum octane in sweden is 95 and the maximum thats in every fuel station is 98 octane. Awesome video btw!
William they are different rating systems. In the US octane ratings are in AKI in Europe it’s RON. 93 AKI is just shy of 98 RON. 91 AKI is 95 RON.
@@chickenbones oh okay thanks!
Hello Justin
Thanks for the videos.
I live in France and I want to buy a BMW, what do you think of the BMX 525d: 177 hp, diesel, touring; 2007; 238,000 km.
I am 7 and I am looking for a safe and comfortable car to travel
I replaced my brakes and rotors recently and the I am still getting the warning light. I looked and now it says I need brake fluid. Is that easy to find or do I have to take off stuff to get to it?
thanks CAP
You mentioned ceramic brake pads.Which ones do you use.
