Ima be straight up with you as a person who not only ones a BMW and also repairs BMWs. Motor mounts that fail at 50k miles you drove the vehicle very aggressively. Aggressive driving kills motor mounts faster, explains your warped rotors to. Your bad motor mounts is what led to your cracked pipes and bad transmission mount believe it or not.. What really happened is you neglected to repair the vehicle when you had one bad motor mount which caused extreme stress on your other mounts on top of your driving habits, road conditions you may be traveling on etc over time the others eventually failed to which explains your transmission mount failure. Spend the money on racing/High speed performance rotors and pads your aggressive driving comes with aggressive breaking. Also ownership of a BMW is expensive as for any luxury cars, how they are driven, and maintained plays a huge role on how much time u spend fixing stuff. You want to own a BMW but honestly it sounds like you can’t afford the maintenance and or repairs... Well maybe you should go back to a GM because an imported German car is not going to be cheap to fix unless you fix it yourself. Parts are also high. Also change your oil filter housing seal they eventually leak....
You prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the account password. I love any help you can give me.
@Isaiah Rhys Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Man that sucks that you had such a bad experience. Personally my 2014 535i has been my most reliable car ever. Never had any of the issues that you have had. I think your issue is that you need to find a mechanic instead of going to a dealership.
Sounds like it's pretty reliable to me. The cracked plastic stuff is the same as all turbocharged engines. And BMW their cars to run hot to get better fuel economy.
Either you bought a lemon or you made it a lemon by neglecto everything, you said 'this was broken for so long then eventually broke, that was faulty...then broke" hahaha

I have a 2012 528i with 180k miles it has been a very nice drive experience but it has also been very costly, the timing valves are meant to go bad after so long and basically explode so it will have to be done again. The turbo is gone forsure in mine and a drivetrain malfunction light appears now which the turbo cost 3k$ new plus labor if you took it to a shop. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on the car already and purchased it for much more than it’s valued at now which is disappointing. It has never broke down on me but days the drivetrain malfunction warning light will appear on the center console and the car will go very high into Rpm’s and then all of a sudden let out a lot of boost gaining about 10mph and it feels like it’s about to brake down. The car broke down on me after a 1 hour trip recently and my electric pump had to be replaced as well as the thermostat which set me back because I didn’t have a car while it was in the shop. Idk I love the car and I want to keep it, but to enjoy it you will always have to be ready to spend big bucks out of your pocket. (:
The electric pump died on mine too. Was the only time that the car left me stranded. Was around like 90k miles. I have needed engine mounts for a while but dont think it’s entirely necessary
@@LinkwithLisa Update: 528i Is gone, over having the car since it was new from the dealership to paying it off, to paying in over 30$ thousand dollar in labor and parts in repairs for it to fail on me in the end with multiple codes and errors popping up.

That's what you get with a 4 cylinder turbo, most manufacturers are the same. Older cars were much better built. 6 cylinder normally aspirated engines are less fussy, less complicated and much more reliable

N/A 6 cylinder is the way to go with BMWs. That is, if you want to keep a car for a longer period of time. If you are going to keep it for a year or two, it doesn't really matter. Oh, and of course you didn't have problems with 2007 328i - it has N52B30 motor - one of the best engines BMW ever made. This 4 cyl. from original video, not that it is not from the same car, it seems like it's from different universe compared to N52B30. I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole (as you Americans use to say).
@@j.c.ubagox873 I ended up picking up a 2014 528i with 80k miles. Had it about a month now. The car is awesome. Put about $1,000 in parts getting it back to perfect. Fingers crossed.
At 3:00 when you mentioned not getting a boost when driving/ sort of a sluggish drive, this could be that you were in eco pro mode, which causes the car to drive like that to save gas and go easier on the engine. Maybe that’s not the case, but just a thought.
The older you buy the more problems you fix, the difference that with BMWs this older becomes around 4-5 year period from new and get worse with every year.
My 550i had issue after issue.... Valve stem seals were the number one issue, went at 70k miles and BMW wouldn't cover it. The repair costs thousands, just got rid of the car because besides that there were so many issues.
Sounds like stuck calipers on the brakes. And these engines sound like they do its not a defect. Just replaced some rotting planstics on my 2015 535i, easy. Gotta agree with other people that motor mount went too long unchanged. Also the cats on these are very restrictive. HiFlo cat opens it up and reduces running temp. Fwiw i agree GM rock. But as a lifelong GM owner no Big3 can touch the class a BMW provides. Totally differenrt universe but stay away if you lack shadetree skills.
Theee aren’t big problems can hear how he talks doesn’t know jack about cars , and we people don’t know how to fix cars complain about little things mis diagnose reviews of cars
I’m at 200,000 miles with Mine same model and everything and still brand spanking new lol if you own a bmw you gotta take care of the things before you think about taking care of it lol
My 520d 2014 cost me money , various items going wrong , changed it for 518d 2016 , seems a lot better to drive and better build .Not sure why this should be , Both high mileage 100000 plus , latter engine more refined .
Wow! Great information. I've been looking at a 2013 528 like yours nicely optioned with 45,000 miles on it. Seems like a pretty good deal at $16,500 but they wouldn't tell me how much the extended warranty is. A simple email question comes back with "it depends".
Never buy a car from a dealer where they dont tell you how much extended warranty costs. There are honest dealers that would tell you right off the bet!
Don't buy a bmw after lease. They are being abused very often. My coworker puts the cheapest regular in his leased BMWs and skips maintenance often. They do not care, most of them. Also if it is with M sport package, they often been driven on a track. Way too much abuse. And such neglect often is hard to see when you buying second hand them
That's very true That's why you have to do your research and buy it straight from the owner not a dealership. The owner can tell you everything about the car
@@mk3mo578 Then after warranty is up, sell it? 😂😂😂😂😂 waste of time and money, especially if you customize the whole car sound system, wheels, coilovers.. better not to get the car to begin with
Mine had 80k miles needed some repairs not major stuf just oil change this and that, months later motor broke down lost 11k of money there, bad experience with this car
Headlights fogging up takes like 10 seconds to fix tbh. Pop the hood and open the top of the headlights to let the moisture out and put the cap back on next time you get in.
Hey I have a 535i 2008 had it 8 years now bought with 20k original miles I absolutely love the car. I have 127,000 miles on it 12 years. I have not had the turbo go out it ever no Westgate issues the ac and heat work perfectly the radio unit still function like new the car still drives like new. I have had the water pump go out I have had the alternator go out at 120,000 it cooked my battery and gear shifter. And at 90,000 the valve cover gasket started leaking. For the most part the car has been great spark plugs changed every 50,000 tranny serviced every 50,000 oil changed every 15 000 when the valve cover was pulled my engine still looked new aside from carbon build up. This engine is still stock. We drive the shit out of this car too.
BMWs, Mercedes, Audis...German cars made in the US Canada = Endless money pits. Make sure to carry repair tools. All run flats do suck...but do you have a spare? For a great luxury car, think Lexus.
those plastic door trims? I actually ordered replacements from Temu, and replaced it myself. The Trim set, I think was around $30. hey, if it works for next couple years, why not? 😄
I agree Jake. I have the same car. It has cost a lot in repairs. And BMW service is horrible and blames the owner for the problems and at every turn they overcharge! Today I was told that it would cost twice what it is worth to fix the car, so I put 7k into trying to fix it, and essentially having to scrap the car to auction or to donate it. I get to chalk this up to my one and only time I will ever own a BMW - I loved driving it, but it isn't worth the maintenance costs!!!
I have had my 2013 BMW 528 I since I bought it 2016. I have had to replace the turbo, and brakes, of course. I am at 106000 miles. It needs brakes and motor mounts if I want to stop the vibrating. It needs a valve cover. It needs an oil filter seal and the gasket. Inside. Everything works and is in wonderful condition, from the leather to the plastic to the sunroof. This guy must have had a lemon!

When you buy luxury cars like this make sure buy new and when warranty almost run out trade in another new luxury. Personally for me this are not car just a show off item, you dont see much mechanic drives Mercedes or Bmw or tesla , even them dont wanna deal with it😂
Crazy anything made after 2005 is rubbish seems the only problems I ever have is with anything made after 2005 all xar makers cutting cost no matter what they charge at cost .alb
I've have a couple of BMW 5-Series and have had none of the issues you are having. Either you got an anomaly car or its isolated to your driving habits and norms....who knows...?
I bought a used 2016 with 56k miles. The car drives great, has good acceleration, AC is fine. I have no complaints. This model also gets great gas mileage.
If you buy used you’re going to have to figure out how to fix stuff yourself, or pay 💰, people abuse these cars and can’t afford to do the maintenance…
Yes that is true except this happened at such low miles. The car was not raced or abused. The rotors warped and didn’t last long at all. Other cars I’ve owned have had cam swaps and were driven very hard and the motor mounts always made it to at least 100k (at a minimum). I’m hearing from many that the motor mounts on bmw just aren’t that great so I guess I’m not alone.
@@jakess707 dude if you can't afford it then stop whining. Bmws were never made for poor people. Like i said Motor mounts and Brakes are normal wear and tear. My BMW is at 100k and still has original motor mounts. It depends on how the previous owners treated the car also hitting speed bumps hard anr hitting pot holes can also low the life expectancy of the motor mounts. There's many factors to this.
Lol there are many factors, but the car was babied and had quite a few other issues such as the AC (entire unit), lock mechanism, radio, and more. When you pay 70k cash for a brand new car it’s kinda disappointing when you have to spend significant time and stress dealing with the dealer techs or fixing it yourself. Poor people? Lmao, Clearly I hit you somewhere where it hurt haha. Enjoy your car lol
I think this is just a clickbait… after 7 years of using the car I think you should expect some problems at least and if that was a major problem You would have changed it earlier
My 2015 528i motor mounts went bad around 50k. Radio screen has a spot on the top side, dealer said is probably the head unit. Valve cover and oil cooler gaskets leaking. Rear bushing cracking and cowl rubber on the windshield coming apart. Oh brake light won't reset $250 and replaced rotors twice. That's why you lease these high end cars.
It's not enough that we buy the cars at an expense price they want more money from repairs, basically it's not poor friendly, it's not for savers or small income earners this car is about rich status only
My 550 has been rock solid. I feel sorry for the people in the comments who have been put off by one guys comments. I suspect for every negative post on the internet there are hundreds of satisfied customers just getting on with their lives :)
yes well all issues raised are crap shity stuff to moan about , yes its a lot of heat on bixenon bulbs and on that weather lm not surprised , 2nd start a DIY job IF YOU HAVE THE TOOLS If not Behave! l have BMW for ages from 3ser,5ser,6ser and now am on F10 530d M no issues at all what l would say to you go back on Honda for you its a great car .......
I feel ya. My car has 115k miles did about $3k maint on my own last month and have $1k more to go. If I would of gone to the dealership would of cost me like $10k by now. Oh yeah one more year to pay it off too.
No worries. For any suggestions on a 2006 325i and 2013 528i in my experience the common issues are usually gasket leaks, radiator leaks, windshield washer pump, thermostat and water pump (every 70k miles approx.) issues. I kept the 2006 325i until 135k miles and sold that one and sold the 2013 528i until 116k miles. Lease a bmw to save you any headaches.
The only one I’ve had of these with mine is the headlight issue and mine only has one light that gets water in it. I ended up putting one of those silica gel packets in it, and that seemed to have worked and keep it dried from here on out.
this just sounds like a bad experience to me.. but the motor mount is a typical issue with many cars expercially a 10year old car.. but the electrical issues damn
I just think he’s doing this video to generate views. he’s talking about stuff saying that he paid a lot of amount of money. with cheap stuff... if the car is a problem why he drived the car for almost 5 years.. ?

OMG! Thank you bro I was about to get one!! Scotty Kilmer was right when he said undless money pit.
....you should look at the G30 chassis w/ B58 engine....very reliable according to various automotive sources out there!
@@bluestonemetallic7 G30 is pretty new, most of us wouldn't able to afford it LOL but its my dream car actually XD
Engine too small.... Need a 550 i with a v8 in it....
The older you buy the more problems you fix, the difference that with BMWs this older becomes around 4-5 year period from new and get worse with every year.
My 550i had issue after issue.... Valve stem seals were the number one issue, went at 70k miles and BMW wouldn't cover it. The repair costs thousands, just got rid of the car because besides that there were so many issues.
Sounds like stuck calipers on the brakes. And these engines sound like they do its not a defect.
Just replaced some rotting planstics on my 2015 535i, easy.
Gotta agree with other people that motor mount went too long unchanged. Also the cats on these are very restrictive. HiFlo cat opens it up and reduces running temp.
Fwiw i agree GM rock. But as a lifelong GM owner no Big3 can touch the class a BMW provides. Totally differenrt universe but stay away if you lack shadetree skills.
Theee aren’t big problems can hear how he talks doesn’t know jack about cars , and we people don’t know how to fix cars complain about little things mis diagnose reviews of cars
Still driving my e39 with 234,000 miles on I the 2 owner f10 is total trash,
I’m at 200,000 miles with Mine same model and everything and still brand spanking new lol if you own a bmw you gotta take care of the things before you think about taking care of it lol
My 520d 2014 cost me money , various items going wrong , changed it for 518d 2016 , seems a lot better to drive and better build .Not sure why this should be , Both high mileage 100000 plus , latter engine more refined .
LCI post 2015 perhaps?
This guy is whining about every little thing. It's a bloody 2013 car and things are bound to break. SMH
I have a 2011 535 with a manual transmission. It now has in excess of 140,000.00 miles and I have not had any of those problems.
That’s awesome! Wish i could say the same
Wow! Great information. I've been looking at a 2013 528 like yours nicely optioned with 45,000 miles on it. Seems like a pretty good deal at $16,500 but they wouldn't tell me how much the extended warranty is. A simple email question comes back with "it depends".
Get the 535i those engines are better mechanically
Lol man go with 535i or 535d or 550d or 523i (6cyl)
hahah
Never buy a car from a dealer where they dont tell you how much extended warranty costs. There are honest dealers that would tell you right off the bet!
@3000
I think all 3,5 series have that problem with door plastic. Is so sticky and annoying
Just wait til this guy learns about the timing chain guide issues on those engines....😂
Don't buy a bmw after lease. They are being abused very often. My coworker puts the cheapest regular in his leased BMWs and skips maintenance often. They do not care, most of them. Also if it is with M sport package, they often been driven on a track. Way too much abuse. And such neglect often is hard to see when you buying second hand them
That's very true That's why you have to do your research and buy it straight from the owner not a dealership. The owner can tell you everything about the car
Its a shame bro people can't even afford to own one but still go and get one leased to loose it in a year SMH some people real ignorant
If your car is vibrating the motor mounts probably went out
I don't think BMW's are made to be driven after the warranty period. This was not the case for BMWs in the 80s and 90s!
MONEY PIT
So I should stay away from BMW's?
@@kalenawarren4782 just find a cpo or get warranty
@@mk3mo578 Then after warranty is up, sell it? 😂😂😂😂😂 waste of time and money, especially if you customize the whole car sound system, wheels, coilovers.. better not to get the car to begin with
@@kalenawarren4782 Do you have $2000 to spend on motor mounts alone? Thats just parts no labor included or $1500+ on rotors
was bro filming with a tablet or laptop LMFAOOOOOO
guy here loves to use fill-in words. 4 cylinder turbo versions suck.
what's up with the Beamer Code vid dawg :)
Mine had 80k miles needed some repairs not major stuf just oil change this and that, months later motor broke down lost 11k of money there, bad experience with this car
same!! motor broke down and out 9k!!
i got 245k miles on my 535i i think ya shud stop hating 😵💫😂
Headlights fogging up takes like 10 seconds to fix tbh. Pop the hood and open the top of the headlights to let the moisture out and put the cap back on next time you get in.
Thank you for the honest review!!
Really appreciate it
Yet you still owen it ….
It’s true once you have a German car you’re always gonna buy a German car
feel bad for this car, heavy body with tiring small engine...
Hey I have a 535i 2008 had it 8 years now bought with 20k original miles I absolutely love the car. I have 127,000 miles on it 12 years.
I have not had the turbo go out it ever no Westgate issues the ac and heat work perfectly the radio unit still function like new the car still drives like new. I have had the water pump go out I have had the alternator go out at 120,000 it cooked my battery and gear shifter. And at 90,000 the valve cover gasket started leaking. For the most part the car has been great spark plugs changed every 50,000 tranny serviced every 50,000 oil changed every 15 000 when the valve cover was pulled my engine still looked new aside from carbon build up.
This engine is still stock. We drive the shit out of this car too.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU WERE NOT READY FOR A BMW, MAYBE A TOYOTA COROLLA 👈
144k 2012 528i no problems as of right now
BMWs, Mercedes, Audis...German cars made in the US Canada = Endless money pits. Make sure to carry repair tools. All run flats do suck...but do you have a spare? For a great luxury car, think Lexus.
those plastic door trims? I actually ordered replacements from Temu, and replaced it myself. The Trim set, I think was around $30. hey, if it works for next couple years, why not? 😄
I agree Jake. I have the same car. It has cost a lot in repairs. And BMW service is horrible and blames the owner for the problems and at every turn they overcharge! Today I was told that it would cost twice what it is worth to fix the car, so I put 7k into trying to fix it, and essentially having to scrap the car to auction or to donate it. I get to chalk this up to my one and only time I will ever own a BMW - I loved driving it, but it isn't worth the maintenance costs!!!
If you can't afford a new Bmw you definitely can't afford a used one.
This is facts^ I learned this the hard way
I have had my 2013 BMW 528 I since I bought it 2016. I have had to replace the turbo, and brakes, of course. I am at 106000 miles. It needs brakes and motor mounts if I want to stop the vibrating. It needs a valve cover. It needs an oil filter seal and the gasket. Inside.
Everything works and is in wonderful condition, from the leather to the plastic to the sunroof. This guy must have had a lemon!
My f10 is 175k and only replacing ive done so far is suspension arms. A few other f10 drivers i know say same.
hw much did yoou spend? i was quoted $1,700 including alignment
@@cleanerdetailsllc7789 just had mine done at an alignment shop, total for both sides and alignment with spec sheet, $700, got OE parts from ECStuning and had shop install and align. 4 wheel align would have been extra $50
sticky? thats not cause of your fat burger napkin in the side is it? im joking sorry you had so many problems mate. you have showed great patience
my 5 series runs great but i think i need new rotors now at 130k
Dude complaining about a bmw he owned for 7 years in Florida. come to Europe get a fiat, Peugeot, Citroen or a Renault and you’ll see the real problems
When you buy luxury cars like this make sure buy new and when warranty almost run out trade in another new luxury. Personally for me this are not car just a show off item, you dont see much mechanic drives Mercedes or Bmw or tesla , even them dont wanna deal with it😂
He should have gotten a lexus
Crazy anything made after 2005 is rubbish seems the only problems I ever have is with anything made after 2005 all xar makers cutting cost no matter what they charge at cost .alb
i don't think ill ever buy a 528i after watching this video. i was specifically targeting the F10 2011-2015ish, but hell no.
the fact that you just let the engine idle is mind-boggling.
😂😂
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU USING TO RECORD? YES, I'M USING CAPS LOCK. Dude....
I've have a couple of BMW 5-Series and have had none of the issues you are having. Either you got an anomaly car or its isolated to your driving habits and norms....who knows...?
I bought a used 2016 with 56k miles. The car drives great, has good acceleration, AC is fine. I have no complaints. This model also gets great gas mileage.
If you buy used you’re going to have to figure out how to fix stuff yourself, or pay 💰, people abuse these cars and can’t afford to do the maintenance…
Motor mounts and break rotors are normal maintenance items on every car. You cannot get mad about that stuff.
Yes that is true except this happened at such low miles. The car was not raced or abused. The rotors warped and didn’t last long at all. Other cars I’ve owned have had cam swaps and were driven very hard and the motor mounts always made it to at least 100k (at a minimum). I’m hearing from many that the motor mounts on bmw just aren’t that great so I guess I’m not alone.
@@jakess707 dude if you can't afford it then stop whining. Bmws were never made for poor people. Like i said Motor mounts and Brakes are normal wear and tear. My BMW is at 100k and still has original motor mounts. It depends on how the previous owners treated the car also hitting speed bumps hard anr hitting pot holes can also low the life expectancy of the motor mounts. There's many factors to this.
Lol there are many factors, but the car was babied and had quite a few other issues such as the AC (entire unit), lock mechanism, radio, and more. When you pay 70k cash for a brand new car it’s kinda disappointing when you have to spend significant time and stress dealing with the dealer techs or fixing it yourself. Poor people? Lmao, Clearly I hit you somewhere where it hurt haha. Enjoy your car lol
I think this is just a clickbait… after 7 years of using the car I think you should expect some problems at least and if that was a major problem You would have changed it earlier
It’s a 4 cylinder what do you except they vibrate and don’t have they much power
My 2015 528i motor mounts went bad around 50k. Radio screen has a spot on the top side, dealer said is probably the head unit. Valve cover and oil cooler gaskets leaking. Rear bushing cracking and cowl rubber on the windshield coming apart. Oh brake light won't reset $250 and replaced rotors twice. That's why you lease these high end cars.
It's not enough that we buy the cars at an expense price they want more money from repairs, basically it's not poor friendly, it's not for savers or small income earners this car is about rich status only
The n20 engine is trash that’s where you went wrong I personally prefer the n54, n52 and n63 2014 or newer. Reliable decent power
My 550 has been rock solid. I feel sorry for the people in the comments who have been put off by one guys comments. I suspect for every negative post on the internet there are hundreds of satisfied customers just getting on with their lives :)
Does it have the infamous N63 Hot-V TT V8?
The 4 cylinder is the problem
i own a 2013 my self alread put 15k into it at southbay bmw. its a fucking junk stay away from bmw.
yes well all issues raised are crap shity stuff to moan about , yes its a lot of heat on bixenon bulbs and on that weather lm not surprised , 2nd start a DIY job IF YOU HAVE THE TOOLS If not Behave!
l have BMW for ages from 3ser,5ser,6ser and now am on F10 530d M no issues at all what l would say to you go back on Honda for you its a great car .......
I feel ya. My car has 115k miles did about $3k maint on my own last month and have $1k more to go. If I would of gone to the dealership would of cost me like $10k by now. Oh yeah one more year to pay it off too.
Are you happy with your Beamer
@@kalenawarren4782 I enjoyed the ride but not the maintenance up keep. Just traded it in for a 2021 Toyota Highlander.
@@miguelc9358 thanks for your comment and congrats on the highlander
No worries. For any suggestions on a 2006 325i and 2013 528i in my experience the common issues are usually gasket leaks, radiator leaks, windshield washer pump, thermostat and water pump (every 70k miles approx.) issues. I kept the 2006 325i until 135k miles and sold that one and sold the 2013 528i until 116k miles. Lease a bmw to save you any headaches.
Miguel C I am scare I want to get one but the maintence is scaring me
The only one I’ve had of these with mine is the headlight issue and mine only has one light that gets water in it. I ended up putting one of those silica gel packets in it, and that seemed to have worked and keep it dried from here on out.
If you get a bmw make sure it has the inline 6 cylinder. The four cylinder turbo is just not a good engine.
I hear a lot of nitpicking
You got a 4 cylinder thats your first issue
i've got many of the same issues. Motor mounts, oil filter housing gasket, valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, seat belt sensor error,..... 🤮
this just sounds like a bad experience to me.. but the motor mount is a typical issue with many cars expercially a 10year old car.. but the electrical issues damn
There a recall on the engine we got a new engine… Month later the car break failed I reended someone. Car would not stop going 30 miles a hour.
U get a lot of those problems with undersized engines. A 5 series should have a v6 or bigger
I think I'm gonna keep my 2011 323i... no issue at all.
I just think he’s doing this video to generate views. he’s talking about stuff saying that he paid a lot of amount of money. with cheap stuff... if the car is a problem why he drived the car for almost 5 years.. ?
