Good video (as usual), finally downvoted a video on the channel due to ANOTHER Carly plug. My personal experience with Carly mirrors most of the 1 star TrustPilot reviews i.e. auto renewal without any reminders, auto renewal price that is much larger than the initial/original 12 month subscription and a big phuck off tablet from Carly 'Support' when you try to cancel after noticing £100+ unexpectedly disappear from your bank account. I understand that sponsors are a vital part of funding YT content creation but I really think the channel needs to start being more selective about the brands it recommends.
@@pauledmonds3249 It works for basic code reading/clearing ie the same tasks that a cheap OBD2 reader off Amazon can do but anything more than that is limited to a very small number of brands i.e. mainly BMWs.

To all the people in this thread, stop complaining and just go watch someone else then 🤷 it’s like eating an apple whilst moaning you hate them before taking the next bite, and the next and the next… stop being parasocial and making assumptions, they’re obviously good mates just having a good time
I have an N52 I6 variant here in Utah. Bought it for $3500 and am all in with repairs (did myself) for a little over $7k. Put some all terrain tires on it and it can keep up with Jeeps and 4Runners without much difficulty. Honestly, super underrated SUV and easily the best looking of the X5’s. Nice purchase man 🤙🏼
I’ve done 330k with a ZF6 and 380 with a ZF8. Then sold the cars, solid gearboxes. Weren’t high value cars so both done at 80k intervals and the were like new when I sold them.
Sometimes these videos on the 2nd channel are better than the 1st channel. Keep up the good work guys and Taylor?..stay off grindr and you won't be late 😂
I parked near a dark blue E53 X5 in the supermarket parking lot the other day. I noticed the interior lights were lit, but no one was in the car. "It's probably broken," I thought, thinking of Alex, Taylor, and Rory. I could see the driver's door was slightly ajar, so I thought I'd push it closed for them. When I walked up to it, I realized the door handle was broken off and I had a really good chuckle. It looked like they parked with the door left open so they could get back in. 🤣 Oh trashed BMW life!
Taylor is was such a great choice when starting up Auto Alex, starting from showcasing him in effectly a barn find video is kinda like going to a local boot sale and finding a ming vase up for a tenner!
I am not interested in BMWs. I have no idea what anyone says when they mention BMW model numbers or chassis numbers. I am not a mechanic and only know a bit of what they are talking about. I see a video posted, I will watch it immediately, I will Like it, I will keep Subscribed, and I will have a huge smile on my face and look forward to the next video! Thank you again everyone for your content!
Another great V2 vid, enjoy the more grounded content with just the casual banter and some mates having a good time and sharing their love and passion for cars with us👌
Keep releasing bangers like this over here and we're gonna have to start demanding 45min minimums on the main 😂😂 keep it up lads (maybe not you Taylor - sounds like you're getting it all)
You are fockin hillarious, all of you! I was almost weting myself about taylors facial expressions and the sheer madness of the interactions among you as a clique with a very strong bond. As if you would know eachother from the group home back in the days. Yes, group home, not bording school.
They changed to "lifetime" when BMW USA stopped doing transmission services as part of their service agreements - IE, they didn't want to do it for free anymore. ZF recommend servicing ;)
I’ve got an auto Vauxhall with a “lifetime gearbox oil” supply. Every transmission garage I’ve spoke to about changing it say not to, as it will most likely allow it start slipping?
So I took my 525d E60 (lci) to a BMW specialist for a gearbox service. He claimed that it wasn't necessary to do one unless there was something wrong with it going into gears? He also claimed that he'd sat down with BMW and ZF n they both agreed the gearbox oil was "lifetime". N you can cause more problems by changing it? I'm not a mechanic but even that didn't sound right to me... Feel free to advise lol
Is the reg on the x5 correct? I’ve searched that reg and it doesn’t find it? I’m trying to find out what x5 it is as I’m possibly going to get one and want something a bit pokey.
@AutoalexV2 what sort of mpg roughly does Rory get out of this? I’ve got one myself I’m sorting out a few bits on, but do a fair few miles so debating whether to keep it or not.
I used to love getting home after a hectic day at work, and seeing a new video had dropped on the main channel. Now got some v2 as well. You guys are all doing a great job, always guaranteed to be laughing well before the end! Sorry Tyler but usually something you’ve said or done, but I promise it’s not at you! Thanks for the laughs guys!
I’m curious what happens after a few thousand miles with the gear box being serviced. I thought that if gearbox / transmission was never serviced it was supposed to not be touched since the oil, grit and shavings actually helped with the gears. As a side note I’m not an expert to this by any means. Keep up the good work guys!
I was looking at a 04 X5 3.0tdi automatic just over 100k but can’t remember if it’s the one with the weak gearbox. £1500 My wife was looking at a 16plate vw Tiguan 2.0 tdi cr dsg for £10000 but she said it’s cheaper on tax
ZF gearbox on the Beamer? That seal at the top of the filter seems to be common for getting stuck in those lol, have the same issue in Australia with BTR and ZF gearboxes in our Fords

i can listen to taylor talk about cars forever ❤
Does that mean he gets free TH-cam premium now?
@@Autoalexv2😂😂
You should check the gearboxes on all of Alex’s cars for metal filings. Because, as we know, Alex slips the clutch.
...due to his small size 😂
Don't let Alex get on the tools he will end up rounding all the bolt heads 😂 just as bad as the clutch slipping 👍
Not how it works but ok
@@noname-sd5dtit's a reference to the podcast bud
@@noname-sd5dt It’s a joke that refers to how Taylor and Rory take the piss out of Alex for slipping the clutch on the podcasts.
V2 has become the Taylor and Rory show and I'm here for it
Taylor needs to do a 'fix it with me series' on all of the cars they buy/have. Awesome to watch this on a Friday afternoon 🤘🏾. Thanks Lads
yea much more calming and interesting than endless shouting and dicking about from alex
Taylor, you are a joy to watch. such a nice man.
Bum him
The episode starts sane before Alex and quickly gets out of control when Alex comes. Are we surprised? No!
I do like his videos but I suspect he's quite tiring to film with.
So much better without Alex...
@@cartman9597 why are you watching his videos then? second channel as well...
@@cartman9597 Totally agree. Much more enjoyable without the tomfoolery. The senseless shouting and destruction of stuff is getting annoying.
To all the people in this thread, stop complaining and just go watch someone else then 🤷 it’s like eating an apple whilst moaning you hate them before taking the next bite, and the next and the next… stop being parasocial and making assumptions, they’re obviously good mates just having a good time
They just seem to be mates having fun with cars, who happen to film a bit of it. Love it! Fast becoming my favourite channel.
They are! Imagine being paid for just living life😂
The pipe sounds amazing! Might rethink my decisions on mine 8:45
Jooshy is back 🥰
Also Taylor as a host is fantastic
The "ding" at 12:27 could not have been timed better lmfao
10:53 DMODeejay
we need more and longer episodes with taylor
Another great video from the crew. Taylor is a delight and Josh is a great addition to the channel.
Taylor’s and absolute star so enjoyable just watching him work on cars and explain stuff !
So peaceful when Alex isn’t there, and informative and much taller.
8:46 that sounds amazing, make sure full speaker!
I have an N52 I6 variant here in Utah. Bought it for $3500 and am all in with repairs (did myself) for a little over $7k. Put some all terrain tires on it and it can keep up with Jeeps and 4Runners without much difficulty. Honestly, super underrated SUV and easily the best looking of the X5’s. Nice purchase man 🤙🏼
Can't stop smiling when Taylor and Rory is around 🥳🥳 absolut love it 🔥🔥
12:26 This was the best example of how a BMW owner behaves when this noise comes up 😂😂😂😂
Those ZFs are pretty bulletproof. What it really needs is new solenoids, bridge seals and a sonnax zip kit. Will make it like new.
I’ve done 330k with a ZF6 and 380 with a ZF8. Then sold the cars, solid gearboxes. Weren’t high value cars so both done at 80k intervals and the were like new when I sold them.
8:46 I am so happy I have headphones.
12:26 that was perfect timing!
Sometimes these videos on the 2nd channel are better than the 1st channel. Keep up the good work guys and Taylor?..stay off grindr and you won't be late 😂
Please more of these! Taylor fixes X all day.
That thing must be tuned!! ive never seen a 35d move like that stock
Taylor, you're amazing with Alex, but you gotta also start your own channel too mate , you're a natural infront of a camera!
Taylor should get a secondary channel of his own, where he films all the work on the cars he does
Definitely
I absolutely second that
I'm not biased, but I completely agree
@@GarageofLuke lol
Definitely
Fist time i see Taylor….great voice and great diction. Very likable to listen to
8:02 the inbetweeners edit after Taylor’s cameo is mint 😂

Your heart was in the right place 😂
Now to just leave a note saying "Sorry, I closed your door".
@@YippingFox 🤣
This , more of this on this channel. just fixing random stuff with Taylor
I love the fact the autoalex channels are basically a BMW heaven
Not long bought an LCI 40d, love it! Great car and glad I chose it over the Range Rover I was looking at.
I can watch u lads all day every day😅just pure bants and vibes
I mean,🤔 i thought every time Taylor sells a car, that car has, technically, been 'De-Pimped' 🤭🤫😅😅😅 💎 🚘
Taylor "everytime I service an automatic gearbox I get covered in fluid"...and also sometimes the gearbox drips a bit!
Taylor is was such a great choice when starting up Auto Alex, starting from showcasing him in effectly a barn find video is kinda like going to a local boot sale and finding a ming vase up for a tenner!
Hahaha the BMW "Bong" at the end could not have been more perfectly orchestrated!! 😂😂
I am not interested in BMWs. I have no idea what anyone says when they mention BMW model numbers or chassis numbers. I am not a mechanic and only know a bit of what they are talking about.
I see a video posted, I will watch it immediately, I will Like it, I will keep Subscribed, and I will have a huge smile on my face and look forward to the next video! Thank you again everyone for your content!
these two channels have devolved into absolute chaos with a little dab of working on cars. and i friggin LOVE IT.
Another great V2 vid, enjoy the more grounded content with just the casual banter and some mates having a good time and sharing their love and passion for cars with us👌
Absolutely love the content of the lads dicking around on and fixing things up on the cars you have!
both of your channels have me in stitches perfect combo of content and people. well done to all of you 👍
Outstanding video as always you guys
You need your own channel Taylor❤. No i am not speaking about leaving Alex, just having your own channel too.
@08:45 - WOW! What a moment! Can't believe that, that's awesome! 🤣
That was such a great sound! I went back and played it at full volume just to make sure I could fully enjoy the experience!
Love these little Taylor vids. Keep it up and keep them coming
Always good to have a heavy Taylor episode (pun intended) 👍🏻
Best car channel in TH-cam hands down.
Another awesome video! The banter when you bounce off each other is just pure entertainment. Go on girl! Slap! 🖐️ 👐
You lads are hilarious, I love how it all goes off the rails as soon as Alex arrives.
ZF 8 speed on mine - fluid changes keep it working. Don't change? Blown by 100K.
Keeo doing these vids, love watching the bts of taylor fixing things
I gotta say, tay tay is a natural behind the camera
Love the second channel 🎉
Keep releasing bangers like this over here and we're gonna have to start demanding 45min minimums on the main 😂😂 keep it up lads (maybe not you Taylor - sounds like you're getting it all)
Shame he hasnt got a following .. as Taylor is an absolute star!
Did the gearbox oil in my IS350. Certainly did make a big difference with smoother crisper shifts.
You are fockin hillarious, all of you! I was almost weting myself about taylors facial expressions and the sheer madness of the interactions among you as a clique with a very strong bond. As if you would know eachother from the group home back in the days. Yes, group home, not bording school.
Happy birthday Alex!
Love these Taylor heavy episodes!!
He is not heavy, he just has heavy bones😢
Taylor is honestly the funniest bit of kit on this show
BMW trolling us all by literally spelling out that they don't think their vehicles can get past 100k or 10 years.
They just want you to buy a new one after 100k
They literally crashed and scrapped before they reach 100k
They changed to "lifetime" when BMW USA stopped doing transmission services as part of their service agreements - IE, they didn't want to do it for free anymore.
ZF recommend servicing ;)
@@skinheads Then you know nothing.
I know. That was exactly my point :-)@@WayToManyAssassins
Alex is starting to drag the rest of the crew down with his immaturity, love Taylor, josh and rory
I like Alex and all the crews dynamic, it’s like a newer generation of top gear
Love you guys, happy new year
That perfectly timed BMW bong
Gearbox service, Matt at High Peak Autos approves this message. 😂😂😂😂
Definitely do your own channel Taylor just showing us how to fix things be great 🎉
I really like those Taylor only videos.
taylor is soo nice we need to see more stuff of him
Taylor @ 10:40 “It’s a bit baggy but I quite like it” 🤣👍
taylor needs a channel
I’ve got an auto Vauxhall with a “lifetime gearbox oil” supply. Every transmission garage I’ve spoke to about changing it say not to, as it will most likely allow it start slipping?
Another Taylor vid! Love him!
The boostpipe scared the shit out of me!!!😂
When Alex blew into that pipe 😅
So I took my 525d E60 (lci) to a BMW specialist for a gearbox service. He claimed that it wasn't necessary to do one unless there was something wrong with it going into gears? He also claimed that he'd sat down with BMW and ZF n they both agreed the gearbox oil was "lifetime". N you can cause more problems by changing it? I'm not a mechanic but even that didn't sound right to me... Feel free to advise lol
@8:45 nice
‘Quiet day’ - lol.
Good mix between helpful info and entertainment.
Loving it lads. From joshys accent I feel like he was the rebellious child from a posh family
That turn of steering wheel had me in bits,😂😂😂😂
Absolutely love the is x5
Is the reg on the x5 correct? I’ve searched that reg and it doesn’t find it? I’m trying to find out what x5 it is as I’m possibly going to get one and want something a bit pokey.
9:09 +32bhp
7:55 I'm gonna need an album of Taylor singing Doja Cat songs ASAP
@AutoalexV2 what sort of mpg roughly does Rory get out of this? I’ve got one myself I’m sorting out a few bits on, but do a fair few miles so debating whether to keep it or not.

brake booster is a commen issue with these, very easy to replace!! did mine in 40 min ish :D
Your getting a like just for the pipe sound fx 😂
Always a good day when you guys upload
I was looking at a 04 X5 3.0tdi automatic just over 100k but can’t remember if it’s the one with the weak gearbox.
£1500
My wife was looking at a 16plate vw Tiguan 2.0 tdi cr dsg for £10000 but she said it’s cheaper on tax
Just finished the new podcast. Very funny! Especially the last 15 minutes
I collapsed in histerics with the timing on the sound of the new boost pipe
Great video need more like these
ZF gearbox on the Beamer? That seal at the top of the filter seems to be common for getting stuck in those lol, have the same issue in Australia with BTR and ZF gearboxes in our Fords
Glad to see the next generation, carry on that great British Tradition, of Absolute Bollicks!
