The positive thing here is that Hoovie just saved somebody from actually being terribly scammed. You know, if Hoovie didn't buy it, someone else would have.
CHECK YOUR AUCTIONS ARBITRATION POLICY. They disclosed it was running rough, but having the wrong engine is a material fact not disclosed. It’s the equivalent of finding frame damage that wasn’t mentioned, you can probably return it.
Yeah he has a point if you paid for it online you will be covered if you got a PSI up to 30 days. The seller has to disclose non-OEM engine if they Green Lit it. If you were inlane buyer then even in if it was sold red light you can still ARB since it was badged as a M series and it dosen't have a M series engine. Claming they Mis Rep'd the car. "See NAAA Arbitration Policy Appendix Effective April 3 2023" You had 7 days (i know its a little late now).
@@sicsrt5876 Bro that seller is Gone...... and I highly doubt he "green" lit it knowing the condition / engine swap... also NAAA Arbitration only works if the auction house is a member of NAAA... you're really reaching at straws here... you and I both know that car was sold "AS IS. WHERE IS. NO GUARANTEES"
@@WrongThink_ right, but the AS IS clause still meant that you’re buying an M series car AS IS. If I bought an As Is Ferrari 308 and when it got delivered I found out it was a Pontiac Fiero with a body kit I can still arbitrate it because I bought a Ferrari not a Fiero
Don’t think the original motor was “blown”, rather pulled out and put in a more desirable platform, then a junkyard motor sourced that would physically be similar to an M motor so that this car could be sold as a more valuable M model.
@@perryelyod4870 That may be so, but Hoovie usually has his tongue firmly in his cheek when talking about his 'hoopties'. This time though he seems genuinely pissed at having been scammed so egregiously.
For the Aston Martin, If its the 6 speed box, there is a mechanical lever under the rear passenger seat which when pulled disengages the parking brake and puts the transmission into neutral. If its the 8 speed box then there is a place on the left side of the transmission to insert an M6 bolt which does the same thing.
I reckon this gives new meaning to the check engine light....perhaps the light was telling you to check the engine and make sure it was the correct one... Glad you are feeling better.
Don't beat yourself up any worse than that suspension did! Percentage wise, you're doing pretty well on buying what is represented. Hope the jewels feel better.
I'm so glad to see that you kept the old format! The self-filmed style has so much more authenticity and conversational quality than the production change of the last video.
Hoovie, if I was you I’d reach out to the auction regardless of announcement or selling light status something like this NEEDS to be announced at auction so in your case this is arbitrable under NAAA guidelines and the selling would be forced to take it back and pay for your transportation fees
Cleeter bought a 911 Turbo described as “run and drive” and found block cracked in several places and damage that prevented it even turning over. Due to publicity ,Auction took it back. Worth a shot.
This is why I am so grateful to live vicariously through Tyler's buys. I love cars, but hate car maintenance. So happy to drive an Infiniti coupe. Always starts and runs. Never needs anything but consumables. Good sports / GT car. AWD works perfectly.
Hi Hoovie, just wanted to let you know about a video Sam Crac published the other day about his Aston Martin, saying there's a gearbox release switch under the rear seat on the driver side; apparently engineers put it there for exactly the reason like this where power or other failures occur ! Hope it helps to release your beautiful paper weight from being stuck in 1st gear!
Their inspections been bs if you have connections you get whatever you want and if you’re a small lot or wholesaler you get fked on a clean car let alone a rough one. But what’re we gonna do about it? We don’t have another option.
Oh yea. We got a v6 mustang for a client a while back, 3.9 was the rating. Scratches and small dents everywhere, not original transmission, top leaked, interior bits were broken. Brought it back almost immediately. Realistically it was a 2.7 at best.
That BendPak storage lift is so cool and costs 34K not including installation. It seems like almost all automotive TH-camrs get complimentary lifts provided to them which must be nice.
BMW tech here again, I can’t say I’ve ever seen an N63 swapped X6 M before, that’s definitely a first! Also I may be biased but the newer BMWs, especially anything B58 powered, is honestly decently reliable. BMWs bread and butter is and has always been the straight 6, anything else isn’t nearly as reliable nor trustworthy. The N63TU (Same engine as yours but updated) is okayish in terms of reliability but it’s not good in the scope of most cars. Realistically most BMWs aren’t too unreliable as long as they’re maintained. The thing is that almost all of the BMWs you buy end up being maintained very poorly and end up being rat boxes because of it.
That was exactly my thoughts, all bmws he buys are highly neglected then the blame ends up to BMW itself. I personally have an older 06 x3 with the 3.0 engine and is currently at 190k still original engine and transmission, only issue currently is the bump from the transfer case needing rebuild but I have it unplugged for the time being until I order a new one to have this old one as spare. Also had a 00 e46 and put 215k on it, only scrapped it because it developed the Sub-Frame cracking issue, but engine and transmission were great too.
@@amrfz6114 it’s alright in terms of reliability, about the same as the N63TU. No valve seal issues like the older cars but there’s still some common issues like the turbo cooler lines, some plastics, etc.
I'm so sorry things are going to shit for you right now. Your channel has been a great diversion for me over the years as I went through some tough times as well. Please keep up the great work on some very entertaining content. Keep your head up, and don't let the bastards get you down!!!
So sorry you're having to deal with this, Hoovie. Hang in there, brother! In addition to whatever else might be going on, we're all pulling for you. (I had a chance to meet you at the first Houston Barrett Jackson and you were so gracious and kind to me and father. I won't forget that.)
If a car is not as described by the auction, you normally can claim your money back if you deal with a reputable auction. Hence the reason why the auction doesn't release the money to seller right away.
You are right but normally you only have a few days to inspect it and get your money back. Big issue if you’re going to get a car shipped to you from an auction and haven’t seen it yet..
@@freakymrq True, but the court would rule on reasonable expectation, and the car was labelled X6M, with X6M, badges and X6M engine cover the least of what I could see and understand. If you’re purchasing from an auction, you’re paying based on what you see and the description. And if the engine swap wasn’t mentioned, it’s pretty reasonable that any person would be expecting to be purchasing a M car. And if Hoovie could prove the seller knew about the engine swap, the case would be pretty open and shut. And even after that the seller could be brought up on potential criminal charges for fraud.
My 85 Subaru Turbo wagon apparently is currently an improvement over this in every way despite it not having been on the road in 29 years. It can at least do 72mph… at 5400rpm… And it can go into any gear at any time, as it has no shift lock! Oh 80s subaru, you were so Janky…
Don't believe so, as to my knowledge some salvage auctions (believe this was a normal auction) won't even allow you in the car, but I've never bought a car from auction, so hopefully someone else can shed some light on this.
The VIN wouldn't tell you anything in this case since it was originally an M car but the engine was swapped out. I wonder if they swapped out the engine just to part it out separately since the rest of the car was junk.
Hi thanks for the content. I have an e70 x5m 2012 since 35,000 kms for the last 5 years. I simply fix anything that starts to go wrong, before it's a major expensive issue. Its @ 100,000 kms now and it's tuned to 700bhp with M10 turbos, cat less downpipes and seriously it's no issue. It's all about the maintenance. If you buy a highly tuned car of any brand, it costs lots to run them. If you spend a small amount minimum maintenance, they go wrong in a big way. Any performance high end car! It's not just BMWs. Ferrari brakes are terrible for example $6,000 dollars every 2 years. Electrical faults left right and center, Lamborghini transmissions fail all of the time, clutches on Aston martins transmissions, McLaren's have loads of recalls failed engines. I've had the privilege to drive them all and it's not isolated to BMW.
As a shop that works on these often, and has done so for ten years, we tune and upgrade them as well, this video is completely inaccurate and a bad source of information, I’ll happily back up my claims with documents. Video should have never been uploaded.
@@uwu2owovr Now you got scammed! You thought that this really happened to him and he didn't do this on purpose to make a video. See how easy it is to fall for a scam?
im bafffled and i say this with love , how a man so long into cars with so much money and time invested in them, is still such an esay mark for scammers..
My theory about BMW is that most new BMW owners buy the cars own them for only a few years at most and then trade them in for a new luxury car and they never take the hit for all the issues that are fixing to happen. In this aspect BMW only needs the car to work properly for a few years then they don't care after that because they don't make money off used cars.
@@AlanTech0 If you have a look over at the CarFax luxury lease deals page, BMW stands out as having a high balloon payment relative to their regular payments - ie the leasing company thinks they will retain more value at the end of the lease. Guessing this is a big factor.
Probably was about to get repo'd and he did a quick engine swap with his buddy before it was picked up. This was most likely just slapped together enough to get it to move. I bet his buddy has a modded X6 "M sport" with a 70k mile S63 Bright side is that I am sure there is someone out there that would love this car and spec. So you should be able to sell it pretty quick with the exposure of this channel, even with full disclosure of issues.
I’m really sorry for all going on in your life Tyler, some things get tough for all of us in a moment in time and the only thing we can control is how we manage them. Keep your head up Tyler
What’s going on with Tyler? Did I miss something? I’m not sure why he’s moving the home collection to the hangar. Any idea? I would be greatly appreciative if you had some answers. Thanks man.
@@deezholehis wife left him because he spent all his money on hoop ties and she found out he had several illegitimate children with different members of the WNBA and now he got a vasectomy in hopes to win her back but she can’t stand the site of him nor his hoppties any more…
You want to try a motorcycle? I had an RS1200 with a leaking crankshaft seal. That is behind the clutch on a lenghtwise four inline. For the clutch to be removed you need to build intermediate support for the engine. Then you start to dismantle the bike from the rear. Rear wheel, brake, shaft drive, subframe and gearbox. Make sure to get the absolute right clutch throwout bearing because the wrong one will hurt the new clutch you put in because you won’t be doing this again.
Lol and right after a vasectomy. I had that happen to my x5 right before i gave up on it. The car was such a hooptie at the end. no power steering, busted suspension, ABS malfunctioning, missing trailer hitch.
@Brock I 100% get it, he does make his money off of views. I'm not sure what's going on in his personal life, but if he makes more revenue off the views and write off the loss, it could be a very good thing. I'm just saying, this is slimy and nobody deserves it, especially not a nice dude like Hoovie... unless you know, the whole above conversation
And especially because he specifically said while it was under construction that it added no value to the house to anyone but himself. He wouldn't do that if he was expecting to wind-down operations and / or leave in only a few years.
On the Aston, there should be an orange release tab under the driver side back seat. Lift the seat and find it, and pull the attached cord to disengaged the transmission from the wheels and put the car in neutral. Samcrac just covered this in a recent video, I believe.
Hoovie says this car is hideous but I kinda like the style of this car, I have no idea how practical or performance oriented this thing is but it’s not a bad looking vehicle IMO
I'd still want to see how it runs once the misfire is cleared. If somehow the M ECU works with the non M engine, that would be interesting. Either way, spend the $350 to fix those rear shocks. Sheesh.
There is a shifter release pull under the driverside back seat of the Aston. SAMCRAC just had a video recently and had to get his off a trailer that way. Hope this helps.
I am really sad about everything that is happening to you. I hope that you will get better. For the X6 M50i, I am sure that if you put some love and care someone will enjoy it. It is still a twin turbo V8. Have a great day.
Here’s a secret: I had rebuild my X5M. The block used for the M is the same one for the non M(N63). The block bores and everything is the same. They just print the S on the outside for the engine i.d. just for show. When I pop off the front chain cover on my M , there’s a huge print on the block that says N63.
Hang in there Hoovie. The rough road will smoothen out soon😊 As for the BMW, you can part it out, or do another Chevy (Corvette) engine swap like you did to your Porsche years ago. Have fun with it. Mod the hell out of it🤪
Genius who can’t research 😢 It’s very common to “replace” in this manner. The blocks are the exact same. The turbos, coolers, and engine management make the power. This video is an embarrassment to American bmw mechanics.
Parting the BMW out might be the best option and would be hilarious to watch Tyler do with Freddy and Ed as a CarTrek plot. They then have to buy a car or cars with the recouped money and the adventure unfolds further from there.
precisely what I was thinking. Best advice I've seen here. If you buy the cheapest of anything, that should always be considered as an option during the inspection. Things like the seats, brakes, engine (if it isn't toast), transmission, suspension bits will always find a home with the advent of ebay. The M badge puts a hefty premium for all those parts, and it's easy to find what you can swap to what (brakes can go on a 5 series, for example).
I’m surprised this is the first time you encountered this… that’s the N1 reason I always inspect in person before buying at auctions… unless I’m ready to buy another donor car.
That's quite interesting, because if they didn't swap the ECU as well, you run a M-ECU with a non M engine, which will simply not work. The tune is just completely different. I am staggered.
@@king_tut. Yes for sure. The cams are different, ignition and fuel injection will be off as well. Also the amount of air that is forced into the cylinders will be different which has to be calibrated in the ECU software.
This isn’t how cars work. The car has the stock ecu I am sure. N63 and s63 block are 1:1 the exact same. Remanufactured engines show up with n63 stamp all the time as a result of this. This TH-camr has no business making these videos, he clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about! The “car ninja” doesn’t even know this. Embarrassing!
The week is not complete without new Hoovie's Garage content. As enjoyable as ever. Glad to hear all's well with the wedding vegetables. As always, more videos please!
I’m an automotive warranty inspector and noticed too many BMW lower oil pan gasket failures? I was quick to notice that rather than replacing the gasket BMW had a a whole kit! A gasket, a new set of bolts (with blue Locktite) on the bolts and a replacement “Lower Oil Pan!.” I worked for Ferrari, Porsche/Audi Mid-America and last forAlfa. I asked a friend (still at BMW) “what’s up with replacement of the oil pan?” I was told it’s made of a different grade aluminum so I then asked “Shouldn’t this really be a recall?” And that was the end of the call.
If it can help, the aston gearbox should use the same system as the 360 f1 (and some early 2000 fiat group cheap hatchbacks) so, with a bit of part number matching, you can get the immensely cheaper Alfa Romeo (selespeed models) or FIAT (dualogic models) parts that can fix that. First of all check the hydraulic fluid level, if it's not it, it's could probably be the "accumulator" and it's not very expensive to fix
Hoovie, you are perfecting the "lovable loser" persona to an art form:-) Just when I was thinking, how does this BMW situation get any worse? And then you start violently bouncing with that horrible suspension on your sensitive jewels (been there), and I absolutely laughed my ass off. We're with you Hoovie, through thick and thin!
@@nattodatto Agreed. That's why I put quotes around it. I don't think he's a loser either. But, it is a character he plays to some degree, and I love it! He never takes himself too seriously.
The most expensive vehicle acquisition method, leasing,. is frequently selected with the driver dumping the car at end of lease, avoiding out of pocket repair expenses, so crap continues to roll off the assembly line.
Try the manual release for the Aston Hoovie Take the seat cushion off behind the drivers seat. It’s fixed by some Velcro strips revealing a blank aluminium surface with an inspection hole. Pull the leaver and the gearbox is disconnected. Now the car can be moved in neutral. Also applicable if needed to go on a flatbed or geo etc.
It'd be great if it were that easy. It would have taken an inordinate amount of diligence for the auction company to find it, even the car ninja only found out after looking at the block stamp with the car in the air. What then? Go after the bank who probably put it up who would have had no idea or the owner that can just play dumb? That rabbit hole would just waste a lot of time and money trying to chase it down when there's too much plausible deniability and finally finding the culprit, the lawsuit would likely be like bleeding a turnip.
@Caleb That's why call them out because two reasons. One you know they have done this before and will do it again. Second it's completely unethical and sends a bad name across the industry to any auction house of reputable companies.
11:40 - I think that's indicative of air in the system. Can't develop hydraulic pressure because there is air keeping it from doing so. Gotta bleed the system I think.
@Hoovie there might be a neutral safety switch or something behind the driver seat (under the rear driver side seat if there is a back seat) that can be accessed. It definitely is a thing on newer astons but not sure when they implement that. Samcracs recent Aston video showed how he got to it. Worth a look!!
There are great things coming your way Tyler. I've been there too. I like to think about it like Andy from Shawshank Redemption...... who crawled through a mile of sh#t, and came out clean on the other side. Good things coming!!
i guess those exotics makes for good content but also makes me appreciate my 30+ year old buick roadmaster with sbc engine. thing starts and runs like a champ every single time!
Paused at 6:30. I actually think this car never was an M car. Although it was mentioned that the mechanic called the dealer to explain the oil line issue which is when they realised, the mechanic read what was in the block, N63 however I’m guessing he ordered S63 without checking the block (as you would - thinking it’s an M car). Yes it had an M sticker on the back and even on sides of the car but that car does not look or sit like an X6M. Then when he opened the door, those seats are not m seats nor is the trim. Either the car was stripped for all of its m parts before it went to auction, or, and more likely it never was an m car and was only badged up as one. The details would have been clearly visible on the paper work but I’m almost certain that wasn’t even checked. What M written on the paper work (not M sport packs)?
Sorry for your loss of a S series engine tyler... now i am a bmw fanboy and the V8 you have in there is still way better than the average European bmw 😅 I'd say try saving it and maybe seeing if you can bump up the power on it. It be great content
whenever I contemplate buying an older sports car, I watch Hoovie's Garage and the longing disappears immediately. My checkbook sighs in relief. The clouds part and I hop in my Honda and drive away.
The divorce forces not only the "life changing surgery" and fleet selloff but also low quality sponsors for online betting that may or may not be federally illegal.
Why would a divorce force a vasectomy? That’s mind boggling to me. Wouldn’t you want to stay intact in case you find the right one and want to have a family with them?
Judging by what I catch this was never an m car to begin with...appears to be a regular x6 50...that was either hit and had the fenders changed rear badge added (which faded out good and they rarely did that factory) added that badge to the engine cover etc...the front fenders are faded and not paint matched to the pillars....the gauges didn't appear to have m logo on them...the steering wheel looked to have the small m logo but that comes with the m sport package along with the door sills and sometimes the front bumper and rear covers...the wheels don't look like the true m wheels and the brakes from the quick walk by look like m sports not the m...plus the badges were switched for those cheap after market red ones...things typical real m owners don't do...I could pull you the vin to give you the original build sheet with the last 7 of the vin...plus m cars typical have the gmbh following the name of the company on vin or emission like tags...its a German thing that's the same as us in America using the term llc
This isn’t a scam. BMW replaces these engines all the time. N63 and s63 are the same block, this mechanic is a goofball and the TH-cam star did zero research.
Seems like a great time to call Westin about swapping something more interesting in... Might just want to swap out the rest of the car too while he's at it.
Hoovie, I’m sorry you’re going through a shitty time in your life. I’m genuinely asking why you won’t have your garage anymore soon. So many people like to try and assume and gossip and try to create stories/scenarios. Obviously it’s your personal business and when you’re ready to talk about it if you even choose to that’s up to you. We love your content and hope you’re able to keep it up!! Hoping for a better speedy recovery and better things to happen to you! I got shot last week and we’ve had a shitty last month so i understand life sucks but like you said it’s still good!
@@dlproductions9574 that doesn’t mean anything, just cause he isn’t wearing his ring doesn’t mean anything in particular. He could have damaged it or lost it. Maybe it was too loose on his finger and hasn’t had the chance to fix that and have it resized. You have no clue. Which is why i mentioned that people keep creating and assuming theses stories/scenarios. For example my wife’s wedding ring was damaged and saved her from smashing her finger and she hasn’t gotten it fixed or replaced yet cause we don’t have the time to get it fixed or the funds to go get a new one at this time. And it’s been almost if not a little more than a year, who knows it doesn’t matter cause we’re married, don’t need a ring to know that
@@dlproductions9574 still it doesn’t matter, like i said my wife’s ring has needed to be fixed for a year and we just don’t have the time. Don’t assume shit cause you don’t know. Until he says it if he chooses to disclose that info you can’t just decide his person issues and stories.
When I bought my BMW F10 second hand, I did a pre-purchase inspection by an independent and reputable mechanic, who found problems that the car dealer fixed. Before the statutory used car warranty ran out, I did another inspection by a different independent mechanic, who also found problems that the dealer also had to fix. After the statutory warranty expired, I fortunately had paid for an optional extended warranty and yet two more problems cropped up, which were fixed by the warranty underwriter. All of this within the space of few months of ownership. Now, a few months later, and after routine maintenance, another problem has been discovered, which unfortunately I have to pay for myself to fix. It seems the only real scam is buying a BMW. Never had such litany of problems with the Mercedes and other brand of cars I have bought over the years. BMWs are beautifully engineered and designed cars but the quality of their components is absolutely and utterly crap. Will never get sucked into buying a BMW again.
Get well soon Tyler. Thanks for keeping us entertained. Wishing u a good car that u can make money out of for the future. At least skip a lemon for once :D
I had 5 BMWs Europe diesel models 4 and 6 cylinder and the 6 cylinder 25tds and 30d not too bad it has more than 400k kms and runs well. Timing chain once replaced but it needs to be change like timing belt its aged not well.

If his tow truck driver is good, he might know where the release is also.
Great advice
The fact that Manheim gave this a 2.8 CR is insane (scale is 1-5). Really makes you question the quality of their inspections.
Their inspections been bs if you have connections you get whatever you want and if you’re a small lot or wholesaler you get fked on a clean car let alone a rough one. But what’re we gonna do about it? We don’t have another option.
Oh yea. We got a v6 mustang for a client a while back, 3.9 was the rating. Scratches and small dents everywhere, not original transmission, top leaked, interior bits were broken. Brought it back almost immediately. Realistically it was a 2.7 at best.
@@Freeusallman 100%
I was an inspector at Manhiem. We never checked to see if the engines were actually the correct engines.
Not surprised once you see the type of people that work there. You can get a job there through a temp agency.
That BendPak storage lift is so cool and costs 34K not including installation. It seems like almost all automotive TH-camrs get complimentary lifts provided to them which must be nice.
BMW tech here again, I can’t say I’ve ever seen an N63 swapped X6 M before, that’s definitely a first! Also I may be biased but the newer BMWs, especially anything B58 powered, is honestly decently reliable. BMWs bread and butter is and has always been the straight 6, anything else isn’t nearly as reliable nor trustworthy. The N63TU (Same engine as yours but updated) is okayish in terms of reliability but it’s not good in the scope of most cars. Realistically most BMWs aren’t too unreliable as long as they’re maintained. The thing is that almost all of the BMWs you buy end up being maintained very poorly and end up being rat boxes because of it.
How's the s63tu
@@amrfz6114 theyre really reliable actually
That was exactly my thoughts, all bmws he buys are highly neglected then the blame ends up to BMW itself. I personally have an older 06 x3 with the 3.0 engine and is currently at 190k still original engine and transmission, only issue currently is the bump from the transfer case needing rebuild but I have it unplugged for the time being until I order a new one to have this old one as spare. Also had a 00 e46 and put 215k on it, only scrapped it because it developed the Sub-Frame cracking issue, but engine and transmission were great too.
As a BMW tech how do you feel about BMW’s long oil change intervals?
@@amrfz6114 it’s alright in terms of reliability, about the same as the N63TU. No valve seal issues like the older cars but there’s still some common issues like the turbo cooler lines, some plastics, etc.
Hoovie, Behind the front seat under the try cover there is a lever to manually place the transmission into Neutral.
Like Samcrac's new video.
I'm so sorry things are going to shit for you right now. Your channel has been a great diversion for me over the years as I went through some tough times as well. Please keep up the great work on some very entertaining content. Keep your head up, and don't let the bastards get you down!!!
if the car was getting fixed easily then it wouldn't be good content. he's hoping for shocking news and mishaps to keep the channel going
So sorry you're having to deal with this, Hoovie. Hang in there, brother! In addition to whatever else might be going on, we're all pulling for you. (I had a chance to meet you at the first Houston Barrett Jackson and you were so gracious and kind to me and father. I won't forget that.)
Its all bs for views, why buy it if he hates everything about it? Click bait bs
He isn’t dealing with shit. The whole life changing surgery shit is click bait and I’m sure he already knew the engine in this car was crap.
@@titanary68 really? Do you have any proof?
Hoovie is literally worth millions. He'll be okay LMAO
He said it was a vasectomy, so it’s very mild surgery and is usually reversible. Life changing was definitely clickbait but not necessarily inaccurate
If a car is not as described by the auction, you normally can claim your money back if you deal with a reputable auction. Hence the reason why the auction doesn't release the money to seller right away.
He bought it at We Screw Em and Howe Auctioneers. A division of Mafia Co. "We think you really want to keep this car.
You are right but normally you only have a few days to inspect it and get your money back. Big issue if you’re going to get a car shipped to you from an auction and haven’t seen it yet..
Only option I see for Hoove if he wanted too was to sue, he’d have a great case but would it be worth hassle.
depends on how the car was labeled, if it was red light it's sold as is and you get what you see.
@@freakymrq True, but the court would rule on reasonable expectation, and the car was labelled X6M, with X6M, badges and X6M engine cover the least of what I could see and understand. If you’re purchasing from an auction, you’re paying based on what you see and the description. And if the engine swap wasn’t mentioned, it’s pretty reasonable that any person would be expecting to be purchasing a M car. And if Hoovie could prove the seller knew about the engine swap, the case would be pretty open and shut. And even after that the seller could be brought up on potential criminal charges for fraud.
My 85 Subaru Turbo wagon apparently is currently an improvement over this in every way despite it not having been on the road in 29 years. It can at least do 72mph… at 5400rpm… And it can go into any gear at any time, as it has no shift lock! Oh 80s subaru, you were so Janky…
It’s not, this video is a gross misrepresentation of these vehicles. This mechanic is 100% a joke, clearly very unfamiliar with bmw v8.
Do you get to run the VIN for any public service history before bidding at auction?
Hey! I recognize you! :)
Don't believe so, as to my knowledge some salvage auctions (believe this was a normal auction) won't even allow you in the car, but I've never bought a car from auction, so hopefully someone else can shed some light on this.
The VIN wouldn't tell you anything in this case since it was originally an M car but the engine was swapped out. I wonder if they swapped out the engine just to part it out separately since the rest of the car was junk.
Oh hey Tay Tay
I highly doubt a service like that would go reported
That sucks Man! Sorry to hear that.
I hate scammers that do shit like that.
Marriage is biggest scam of them all.

Terrible people with no morals
Hi thanks for the content. I have an e70 x5m 2012 since 35,000 kms for the last 5 years. I simply fix anything that starts to go wrong, before it's a major expensive issue. Its @ 100,000 kms now and it's tuned to 700bhp with M10 turbos, cat less downpipes and seriously it's no issue. It's all about the maintenance. If you buy a highly tuned car of any brand, it costs lots to run them. If you spend a small amount minimum maintenance, they go wrong in a big way. Any performance high end car! It's not just BMWs. Ferrari brakes are terrible for example $6,000 dollars every 2 years. Electrical faults left right and center, Lamborghini transmissions fail all of the time, clutches on Aston martins transmissions, McLaren's have loads of recalls failed engines. I've had the privilege to drive them all and it's not isolated to BMW.
As a shop that works on these often, and has done so for ten years, we tune and upgrade them as well, this video is completely inaccurate and a bad source of information, I’ll happily back up my claims with documents. Video should have never been uploaded.
The larger the scam the better the video 😊

My theory about BMW is that most new BMW owners buy the cars own them for only a few years at most and then trade them in for a new luxury car and they never take the hit for all the issues that are fixing to happen. In this aspect BMW only needs the car to work properly for a few years then they don't care after that because they don't make money off used cars.
Close - they dont buy them, they lease them
@@mycosys I always forget about leasing.
@@AlanTech0 If you have a look over at the CarFax luxury lease deals page, BMW stands out as having a high balloon payment relative to their regular payments - ie the leasing company thinks they will retain more value at the end of the lease. Guessing this is a big factor.
Damn, this is really a bummer. Seems like hoovie is genuinely stressed about his current situation. Hope everything works itself out for him!
the pump is getting sick not a good thing for a car to do🤣🤣🤣
Probably was about to get repo'd and he did a quick engine swap with his buddy before it was picked up. This was most likely just slapped together enough to get it to move. I bet his buddy has a modded X6 "M sport" with a 70k mile S63
Bright side is that I am sure there is someone out there that would love this car and spec. So you should be able to sell it pretty quick with the exposure of this channel, even with full disclosure of issues.
bingo. I was thinking the same thing: the motor wasn't blown, it was taken.
Haha yep. Car has good enough external bodywork and the whole engine bay was sloppily put back together. This was the most likely scenario
It’s still a v8 engine he will be good with that. I work on my x5 50i all the time. That car just needs some care.
So his buddy just happened to scribble salvage yard markings on the replacement engine before installing?

You want to try a motorcycle? I had an RS1200 with a leaking crankshaft seal. That is behind the clutch on a lenghtwise four inline. For the clutch to be removed you need to build intermediate support for the engine. Then you start to dismantle the bike from the rear. Rear wheel, brake, shaft drive, subframe and gearbox. Make sure to get the absolute right clutch throwout bearing because the wrong one will hurt the new clutch you put in because you won’t be doing this again.
Watching Tyler bounce up and down when taking the car for a little... Whatever the opposite of a joy ride is... was pretty hilarious.
Comedy gold.
Lol and right after a vasectomy. I had that happen to my x5 right before i gave up on it. The car was such a hooptie at the end. no power steering, busted suspension, ABS malfunctioning, missing trailer hitch.
When I saw Ninja's video my immediate thought was, "wow, hoovie didn't deserve this...." he's going through a lot

He wouldn't do that if he was expecting to wind-down operations and / or leave in only a few years.
@Roger Smith Someone else is going to be filling it, I'm sure. No reason to keep that huge house when single.
Women usually get the house, unfortunately.
On the Aston, there should be an orange release tab under the driver side back seat. Lift the seat and find it, and pull the attached cord to disengaged the transmission from the wheels and put the car in neutral. Samcrac just covered this in a recent video, I believe.
IF ITS NOT THE RELEASE HANDLE THERES A BOLT YOU WIND IN TO THE GEARBOX ON THE RHS TO FORCE IT INTO NEUTRAL. ONCE CARS RUNNING PUMP SHOULD WAKE UP.
Felt for you with that suspension but you did have the balls to buy it. Keep on smiling from a Aussie.
Hoovie: "I bought the worst BMW X6M!"
Car Ninja: "Good news: It is not the worst X6M!"
...it's just the worst X6. No M
On the Astin Martin I think there is a cable pull loop under a cover under the driver's side rear seat that will force the car into neutral.
Hoovie says this car is hideous but I kinda like the style of this car, I have no idea how practical or performance oriented this thing is but it’s not a bad looking vehicle IMO
"2 and a half donkeys" is the best line I've heard in a WHILE. Bravo Ninja!
I'd still want to see how it runs once the misfire is cleared. If somehow the M ECU works with the non M engine, that would be interesting. Either way, spend the $350 to fix those rear shocks. Sheesh.
I had a Chevy S 10 that bounced like that on the freeway. I hope you heal up soon, and get things going your way dude.
There is a shifter release pull under the driverside back seat of the Aston. SAMCRAC just had a video recently and had to get his off a trailer that way. Hope this helps.
Hope he sees your comment
I am really sad about everything that is happening to you. I hope that you will get better. For the X6 M50i, I am sure that if you put some love and care someone will enjoy it. It is still a twin turbo V8. Have a great day.
The year of this car they didnt tech make a x6 m50
Just a x6 xdrive50i
Here’s a secret: I had rebuild my X5M. The block used for the M is the same one for the non M(N63). The block bores and everything is the same. They just print the S on the outside for the engine i.d. just for show. When I pop off the front chain cover on my M , there’s a huge print on the block that says N63.
There is Implied Warranty that is Federal if not State law. If sold as an M car and it isn't, you should get a full refund.
KS is pretty picky about non OEM Vins. They are looking for stollen parts and cars. He might have a case in Topeka. Its clearly fraud to me.
Hang in there Hoovie. The rough road will smoothen out soon😊
As for the BMW, you can part it out, or do another Chevy (Corvette) engine swap like you did to your Porsche years ago. Have fun with it. Mod the hell out of it🤪
After the LS swap, perhaps he can sell the car to a realtor affiliated with a biker gang. ;)
Tyler is the kind of genuine human that I could meet at a bar and then be best friends after an hour
Genius who can’t research 😢
It’s very common to “replace” in this manner. The blocks are the exact same. The turbos, coolers, and engine management make the power. This video is an embarrassment to American bmw mechanics.
Parting the BMW out might be the best option and would be hilarious to watch Tyler do with Freddy and Ed as a CarTrek plot. They then have to buy a car or cars with the recouped money and the adventure unfolds further from there.
precisely what I was thinking. Best advice I've seen here. If you buy the cheapest of anything, that should always be considered as an option during the inspection. Things like the seats, brakes, engine (if it isn't toast), transmission, suspension bits will always find a home with the advent of ebay. The M badge puts a hefty premium for all those parts, and it's easy to find what you can swap to what (brakes can go on a 5 series, for example).
We all have these moments in life. Thank you Hoovie for making me feel normal.
Mines been going on for over 60 years.
I’m surprised this is the first time you encountered this… that’s the N1 reason I always inspect in person before buying at auctions… unless I’m ready to buy another donor car.
That's quite interesting, because if they didn't swap the ECU as well, you run a M-ECU with a non M engine, which will simply not work. The tune is just completely different. I am staggered.
That could be why its running like shit..?
@@king_tut. Yes for sure. The cams are different, ignition and fuel injection will be off as well. Also the amount of air that is forced into the cylinders will be different which has to be calibrated in the ECU software.
To complete the comment, the gearbox also needs reprogramming for sure
This isn’t how cars work. The car has the stock ecu I am sure. N63 and s63 block are 1:1 the exact same. Remanufactured engines show up with n63 stamp all the time as a result of this.
This TH-camr has no business making these videos, he clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about!
The “car ninja” doesn’t even know this. Embarrassing!
The week is not complete without new Hoovie's Garage content. As enjoyable as ever. Glad to hear all's well with the wedding vegetables. As always, more videos please!
I’m an automotive warranty inspector and noticed too many BMW lower oil pan gasket failures? I was quick to notice that rather than replacing the gasket BMW had a a whole kit! A gasket, a new set of bolts (with blue Locktite) on the bolts and a replacement “Lower Oil Pan!.” I worked for Ferrari, Porsche/Audi Mid-America and last forAlfa. I asked a friend (still at BMW) “what’s up with replacement of the oil pan?” I was told it’s made of a different grade aluminum so I then asked “Shouldn’t this really be a recall?” And that was the end of the call.
This is the kind of Hoovie's Garage we all subscribed for.
Busted nuts and broken cars.
@@rogersmith7396 😂😂😂😂
If it can help, the aston gearbox should use the same system as the 360 f1 (and some early 2000 fiat group cheap hatchbacks) so, with a bit of part number matching, you can get the immensely cheaper Alfa Romeo (selespeed models) or FIAT (dualogic models) parts that can fix that. First of all check the hydraulic fluid level, if it's not it, it's could probably be the "accumulator" and it's not very expensive to fix
He bought a 13 year old auction car without proper inspection and blames the car maker. WOW. Auction cars OFTEN have swapped out motors.
Put it on a dyno and check what the frankenstein-engine makes - maybe the only the shortblock is from the n63 and the engine makes s63 power.
Hoovie, you are perfecting the "lovable loser" persona to an art form:-) Just when I was thinking, how does this BMW situation get any worse? And then you start violently bouncing with that horrible suspension on your sensitive jewels (been there), and I absolutely laughed my ass off. We're with you Hoovie, through thick and thin!
Tyler is loveable, but def not a loser :)
@@nattodatto Agreed. That's why I put quotes around it. I don't think he's a loser either. But, it is a character he plays to some degree, and I love it! He never takes himself too seriously.
The most expensive vehicle acquisition method, leasing,. is frequently selected with the driver dumping the car at end of lease, avoiding out of pocket repair expenses, so crap continues to roll off the assembly line.
If suffering = content, and I think we can all agree that's the basis of this channel, this thing is the best buying decision you've ever made.

@@patrickdean7244Let’s see your garage…
@@patrickdean7244 No no, the talker goes first.
Try the manual release for the Aston Hoovie
Take the seat cushion off behind the drivers seat. It’s fixed by some Velcro strips revealing a blank aluminium surface with an inspection hole. Pull the leaver and the gearbox is disconnected. Now the car can be moved in neutral. Also applicable if needed to go on a flatbed or geo etc.
I would publicly call out the seller and auction company who sold this. Clearly criminal
Misrepresentation. Badge says M. Make them take it back.
It'd be great if it were that easy. It would have taken an inordinate amount of diligence for the auction company to find it, even the car ninja only found out after looking at the block stamp with the car in the air. What then? Go after the bank who probably put it up who would have had no idea or the owner that can just play dumb? That rabbit hole would just waste a lot of time and money trying to chase it down when there's too much plausible deniability and finally finding the culprit, the lawsuit would likely be like bleeding a turnip.
It's buyer beware, auction company is not liable here.
@@rogersmith7396 I think if the chassis VIN is a true M car, that wouldn't work.
@Caleb That's why call them out because two reasons. One you know they have done this before and will do it again. Second it's completely unethical and sends a bad name across the industry to any auction house of reputable companies.
Poor Tyler!! When a dark cloud hovers the bright sun is always ready to come through. In other words things will get better Sir!
11:40 - I think that's indicative of air in the system. Can't develop hydraulic pressure because there is air keeping it from doing so. Gotta bleed the system I think.
@Hoovie there might be a neutral safety switch or something behind the driver seat (under the rear driver side seat if there is a back seat) that can be accessed. It definitely is a thing on newer astons but not sure when they implement that. Samcracs recent Aston video showed how he got to it. Worth a look!!
There are great things coming your way Tyler. I've been there too. I like to think about it like Andy from Shawshank Redemption...... who crawled through a mile of sh#t, and came out clean on the other side. Good things coming!!
i guess those exotics makes for good content but also makes me appreciate my 30+ year old buick roadmaster with sbc engine. thing starts and runs like a champ every single time!
Seeing you bounce uncontrollably made my day! Thanks for the laugh medicine 🤣
Crazy that an N63 is atleast running, usually S engines are completely different when it comes to Vanos and Crank/Cam sensors throttle body's etc.
Add wood beneath the rear wheels and it will allow to slide when pulled. Once at bottom of ramp lift with tire jacks
You can see him going a little more crazy with every video...
But at least he's having fun with it!
Congrats on your X6 M-Sport.
It's an X6 M/2 (half an M) lol
Paused at 6:30. I actually think this car never was an M car. Although it was mentioned that the mechanic called the dealer to explain the oil line issue which is when they realised, the mechanic read what was in the block, N63 however I’m guessing he ordered S63 without checking the block (as you would - thinking it’s an M car). Yes it had an M sticker on the back and even on sides of the car but that car does not look or sit like an X6M. Then when he opened the door, those seats are not m seats nor is the trim.
Either the car was stripped for all of its m parts before it went to auction, or, and more likely it never was an m car and was only badged up as one.
The details would have been clearly visible on the paper work but I’m almost certain that wasn’t even checked.
What M written on the paper work (not M sport packs)?
Sorry for your loss of a S series engine tyler... now i am a bmw fanboy and the V8 you have in there is still way better than the average European bmw 😅 I'd say try saving it and maybe seeing if you can bump up the power on it. It be great content
Agreed
If it came from Houston, that sounds about right 😑
Houston we have a problem.
whenever I contemplate buying an older sports car, I watch Hoovie's Garage and the longing disappears immediately. My checkbook sighs in relief. The clouds part and I hop in my Honda and drive away.
The divorce forces not only the "life changing surgery" and fleet selloff but also low quality sponsors for online betting that may or may not be federally illegal.
At least its not crypto scammers. The gold scammers are starting up.
Why would a divorce force a vasectomy? That’s mind boggling to me. Wouldn’t you want to stay intact in case you find the right one and want to have a family with them?
I gotta admit, when I'm having a tough day, I tune on to Hoovie. My problems pale in comparison, and then I feel so fortunate!
Glad you feeling better! And one mean kick right to the fruit basket!
For misfire check that the resister in DME is not fried. Very common on N63 to have a blown resister in DME.

Idk how you are irl, but you come off as a really good dude. People are just awful. Keep these vids coming
Good luck, Hoovie! 🙂
Judging by what I catch this was never an m car to begin with...appears to be a regular x6 50...that was either hit and had the fenders changed rear badge added (which faded out good and they rarely did that factory) added that badge to the engine cover etc...the front fenders are faded and not paint matched to the pillars....the gauges didn't appear to have m logo on them...the steering wheel looked to have the small m logo but that comes with the m sport package along with the door sills and sometimes the front bumper and rear covers...the wheels don't look like the true m wheels and the brakes from the quick walk by look like m sports not the m...plus the badges were switched for those cheap after market red ones...things typical real m owners don't do...I could pull you the vin to give you the original build sheet with the last 7 of the vin...plus m cars typical have the gmbh following the name of the company on vin or emission like tags...its a German thing that's the same as us in America using the term llc
I had a feeling that it was going to get worse after the ninja discovered that it was a junkyard engine.
LMAO that makes me feel better that an expert like Hoovie can also get scammed like us average folks 😅
This isn’t a scam. BMW replaces these engines all the time. N63 and s63 are the same block, this mechanic is a goofball and the TH-cam star did zero research.
Seems like a great time to call Westin about swapping something more interesting in... Might just want to swap out the rest of the car too while he's at it.
looks like a trip to the dyno is in order, for science of course.
Just grab hold of the crank pulley and see if you can stop it while running.
Hoovie, I’m sorry you’re going through a shitty time in your life. I’m genuinely asking why you won’t have your garage anymore soon. So many people like to try and assume and gossip and try to create stories/scenarios. Obviously it’s your personal business and when you’re ready to talk about it if you even choose to that’s up to you. We love your content and hope you’re able to keep it up!! Hoping for a better speedy recovery and better things to happen to you! I got shot last week and we’ve had a shitty last month so i understand life sucks but like you said it’s still good!
he is no longer wearing his wedding ring.
@@dlproductions9574 that doesn’t mean anything, just cause he isn’t wearing his ring doesn’t mean anything in particular. He could have damaged it or lost it. Maybe it was too loose on his finger and hasn’t had the chance to fix that and have it resized. You have no clue. Which is why i mentioned that people keep creating and assuming theses stories/scenarios. For example my wife’s wedding ring was damaged and saved her from smashing her finger and she hasn’t gotten it fixed or replaced yet cause we don’t have the time to get it fixed or the funds to go get a new one at this time. And it’s been almost if not a little more than a year, who knows it doesn’t matter cause we’re married, don’t need a ring to know that
@@MOSTWANTED1908 it’s been a while that he removed it. Fixing a ring takes maybe a week.
@@dlproductions9574 still it doesn’t matter, like i said my wife’s ring has needed to be fixed for a year and we just don’t have the time. Don’t assume shit cause you don’t know. Until he says it if he chooses to disclose that info you can’t just decide his person issues and stories.
@@MOSTWANTED1908 the outcome makes no difference in my life or yours. It’s not that important.
When I bought my BMW F10 second hand, I did a pre-purchase inspection by an independent and reputable mechanic, who found problems that the car dealer fixed. Before the statutory used car warranty ran out, I did another inspection by a different independent mechanic, who also found problems that the dealer also had to fix. After the statutory warranty expired, I fortunately had paid for an optional extended warranty and yet two more problems cropped up, which were fixed by the warranty underwriter. All of this within the space of few months of ownership. Now, a few months later, and after routine maintenance, another problem has been discovered, which unfortunately I have to pay for myself to fix. It seems the only real scam is buying a BMW. Never had such litany of problems with the Mercedes and other brand of cars I have bought over the years. BMWs are beautifully engineered and designed cars but the quality of their components is absolutely and utterly crap. Will never get sucked into buying a BMW again.
Get well soon Tyler. Thanks for keeping us entertained. Wishing u a good car that u can make money out of for the future. At least skip a lemon for once :D
LMAO...BAHAHA 😂😂😂😂😂

Oddly @hooviesgarage. The more I see content on this car...the more I admire it. Even this jacked up, scammed version. I feel like I would still drive that car with honor.
