The 4.4 is a very easy engine to work on. It’s not hard to pull these motors and reseal them. I buy these all the time. I plan on pulling the engine and replacing the valve stem seal, timing chain guides (maybe the chain), coolant pipe, timing cover gaskets, valve cover gaskets, and alternator bracket seal for every one I pick up. It’s a weekend job at an easy pace.
Go for it! Jeremy Clarkson described the styling of this very car, like the artist was drawing a line and then all of a sudden died in the middle of the stroke. That's a good enough reason alone!
I'm of the opinion that the emblems are designed to fade intentionally, since the cars fall apart quickly BMW doesn't want people recognizing the brand when hoopdied.

Needless to say, I did with relatively few injuries. After the crash, I was able to simply open the door and get out. Yay to Maserati for designing a safe car! Unfortunately the pillar of the community with a promising future who ran a red light in his stolen car needed the jaws of life to extricate him.

Scrap it, Hoov. That thing will be more of a curse than anything else for you, the person you give it to, the person they give it to, and the junkyard that scraps it in the long run.
Yeah, you know you're in trouble when your mechanic just shakes his head and asks, "Why?" when you pull up in a newly-purchased car. LOL! That made me laugh too hard, probably.
I remember a time when BMWs with a straight six and a manual transmission used to be high quality and would last forever. What the hell happened to the company? Overly engineered garbage with a bunch of unnecessary tech that craps out as soon as the warranty is over.
BMW was already making crappy V8s at that time. M60/M62 with the timing chain guide failures etc. While they were making awesome M5x series straight sixes which were super reliable
2:57 people don’t realise that BMW actual designed that rear and with BMW reliability in mind so you hands would fit perfectly for pushing your broken down BMW to the side of the road.
This may sound bad, but, I used engine oil stop leak for one complete oil service of about 5k miles. My hope was to expand the valve seals enough for it to stop smoking. I haven't ran the stop leak since and the smoking stopped. A friend of mine tried it and it also stopped the smoking. It doesn't cost much to try it.
Th fading emblem is a "timed" feature built in. By 100,000 miles, when the car has fallen apart and is blowing smoke they don't want others to be able to tell what kind of car it is.
I bought the same car same year plus the SMG trans with 75k miles on it last year. After A LOT of reading how they want to be taken care of(oil change 9 months or earlier and regular coolant changes) I must say after one year no issues with it......love this car....SMG is something to get used to of course....lol
If you think about it, if they are selling for $10,000 all sorted, and it will cost him $5000 to sort it, he's into it for $6900.....so he's in the black by $3100.00.

@@12gark Depends, some investments are required, but once the engine seals and cooling is renewed, it works fine and if stuff breaks it is mostly similar to other cars. I know of six V8s, all over 250k km (two of them over 600k km) and running fine.
@Johnny Chimpo “great condition” for maybe a day, a week at most, before everything goes to hell again and will cost 1k per part. These cars are never ending nightmares
Beside from the Chris-Bangler-Styling it would be a nice car. If repaired. Price for mechanical repair sounds fair, then fix the interiour (seats etc) and voila, there is an oppulent car with lots of luxury. And then - take care of it. Most people don't do this and that's why cars like this occur in that state.
I just repaired the valve stem seals on my car, engine doesn’t have to come out. AGA tool gets it done a lot quicker. That said, with the awful alternator bracket leak…might as well pull it and do a full reseal.
5:33 Ahhh...that chime brings back memories. I inherited one of these and a 5 series (his daily driver) from my dad when he died. It was a beautiful car in great condition. However, his stories about the exorbitant repair bills and the many times I saw the 535i on a flatbed, plus our monthly (bonding?) trips to the mechanic spooked me. Had I kept it the car, it would have ended up like this one (in need of repairs I couldn't or wouldn't afford, so I sold it to his best friend. There is no such thing as a cheap BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar etc.
If I picked up a car like this, honestly I’d drive it until it died FIRST, then scrap the cats and the car. But it sure would be nice to use as a weekend car
I’d love that car, solely because my current car is the “most reliable” car ever, a 1997, Corolla with 124k and not a single issue. It would be interesting to compare the two lolol
I feel for you! Until last summer, my DD was a 97 Geo Prizm (same car) with 251k miles on it. I spent 13 years waiting for it to die, but it never would! Finally sold it for $300 and I hear it is still on the road. Miserable little thing to drive, but too reliable/cheap to force me to get rid of for years!
@@rmui25 that’s amazing, hopefully mine gets that far! Even if it doesn’t, it doesn’t matter, parts are so unbelievably cheap for them, $150 for a used c50/c52 5 speed trans and $500 for a whole ass 4afe, our cars can last forever for so much cheaper than a car payment!

Personally speaking I love that hoovie saves so many hoopties. There's so much waste in society and it's even nicer when he gifts them to someone deserving. The ninja benefits with income and hoovie earns some TH-cam add money. What's not to like. FIX IT! FIX IT!
Fix a reliable car, not a piece of plastic that isn't worth a cent, and will endlessly break down on the daily.
As the saying goes: If the check engine light on a BMW is not on, then the bulb is most likely broken.
"Only 106k miles." That's only about 30k miles beyond its useful lifespan.
nah thats about 106K miles over any BMW's usefull lufespan (with some exceptions)
Factsss
106?
@@vuurkoning no, BMWs are good while under warranty
@@nsbioy you missed the "useful" part.
I always liked this body style.. I can’t be the only one!
Nope.
I have 2 so guess I'm with you.
E65 745i Still have one still runs and drives
I got a 645 ci with 177k miles
There is tens of us out there
Hoovie should take all his BMWs and enter a demolition derby.
He should take one of his hooptie beamers to the 24h of lemons race
Get him to 1.3 million so we can waste his 5,000 dollars lol
He gets it back in views
Lmao!!!
When Ninja facepalms as soon as he sees it...priceless!
Did you notice there was another one next to it in his shop?
Lol yeah cuz he knows he’s going to have to fix it and can’t send him away xD
I have a 2004 645ci. I’ve had numerous problems with it including valve stem problems which I had done under warranty. Recently I had a power drain and all the advice I got was to change the battery which I did and the problem remained. Turned out when having the idrive screen system sorted out the engineer notice a blue tooth device which was an after market thing was not turning itself off. We disconnected it and the power drain vanished. Happy dayz 👍👍👍👍
Definitely need to uphold your reputation and go through with this! Let’s go 1.3M!!!
The dripping in the side of the frame at the end is really chef-kiss level.
I love when Tyler says it isn't going be cheap and the Ninja gets this huge grin and agrees it's not going to be cheap. Lmfao. Tyler I love the show as always
This car is right up my alley! My E38 was in worse condition and now it's my daily and I'm almost finished with 90s Volvo. I need to find me a cheap 6-series soon
I'm starting to think his BMW obsession is just masochism.
No it's cheap drama for content mainly lol
Also sadism because he makes videos and makes us watch.
@@HappyHarryHardon We don't have to watch, I've skipped 3 of the last 5 BMW ones, and 2 of the last 4 SUV's.
Not that they are bad vids; but it gets to a point where you've seen one bad BMW or oversized Toorak Tractor, you've seen them all.
Hoovie makes money from this crap
@@misterx3492 Exactly. Click bait every time. Trash the Bimmer and get views.
When Ninja asks you "WHY" you know you just made a huge mistake 😀😀😀
you know its bad when the Ninja goes "WWHYYY" Enter it in a demolition derby and put it out of its misery
What I would really like to see is a clapped out Rolls Royce in a demolition derby, it would probably be lot less pathetic to watch.
I think a better option would be to have Aging Wheels do a destruction review on this Bavarian crap heap.
@@creamofbotulismsoup9900 There’s lots of Silver Shadows in demo derbys you can see here on YT
Once the engine is fixed, you have an awesome weekend car with a naturally aspirated V8, which drives beautifully.
Sure, bc nothing else could possibly break! Guess you dont know much about these cars!!?
you will have an awesome weeked with that car, and then it will break again LOL
@@Jdalio5 I'm running 550i/750i for several years and my friends have another four V8s, so I guess I know a thing or two. Of course you need to put some money and effort in these, but is not as tragic as Hoovie presents it.
@@12gark Depends, some investments are required, but once the engine seals and cooling is renewed, it works fine and if stuff breaks it is mostly similar to other cars. I know of six V8s, all over 250k km (two of them over 600k km) and running fine.
The Ninjas reaction at the start could've been the entire video 😂
The badge condition on an old BMW is the last thing I'd worry about.
Start saving some old Saab's Hoovie.
hell yes
At least they are reliable.
And Saabs are worth saving. Let this BMW die.
That's just what the world doesn't know it needed, a Saab story from Hoovie!
... and out the door I go
Agreed. Quirky and amazing cars. For me, they are underrated. Reliable cars and from what I know Hoovie actually likes Saab for their quirkiness.
Someone should make an LS swap kit for older BMW's...like, 3 year old or 36K miles BMW's.
I wouldn’t give this car to my worst enemy, total disaster.
@Johnny Chimpo true
@Johnny Chimpo “great condition” for maybe a day, a week at most, before everything goes to hell again and will cost 1k per part. These cars are never ending nightmares
@Johnny Chimpo clearly you’ve never owned a bmw 😂
@Johnny Chimpo Having worked at a BMW dealer... you'd be better off owning a fifty year old boat.
@Johnny Chimpo clearly you’re not much smarter if you can only afford to drive a 100k mile bmw
When the Car Ninja asks you "Why?" with a FML look, you might want to reconsider the purchase.
Beside from the Chris-Bangler-Styling it would be a nice car. If repaired. Price for mechanical repair sounds fair, then fix the interiour (seats etc) and voila, there is an oppulent car with lots of luxury. And then - take care of it. Most people don't do this and that's why cars like this occur in that state.
I just repaired the valve stem seals on my car, engine doesn’t have to come out. AGA tool gets it done a lot quicker. That said, with the awful alternator bracket leak…might as well pull it and do a full reseal.
Window regulators on a BMW. Reminds me of my E46 and the zip-tie reinforcement everyone did (even on a new replacement).
I think this car needs to be set free on a farm out in the country.
@samcracc ? 🤔🤭
Agreed. It's a BMW and will be totaled again in
See how many of wizard’s boats a 645 can clear whilst being jumped into a lake??
You win!
5:33 Ahhh...that chime brings back memories. I inherited one of these and a 5 series (his daily driver) from my dad when he died. It was a beautiful car in great condition. However, his stories about the exorbitant repair bills and the many times I saw the 535i on a flatbed, plus our monthly (bonding?) trips to the mechanic spooked me. Had I kept it the car, it would have ended up like this one (in need of repairs I couldn't or wouldn't afford, so I sold it to his best friend. There is no such thing as a cheap BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar etc.
I'd like to see if this car could turn a profit from selling parts etc quickly.
Seems like someone willing to take the time to part it out could make thousands.
@@stevemorris270 yeah, but I'd like to see just much he could make in like a couple days.
Best idea yet.
I don’t know if it’s worth the time. These aren’t cars people keep anymore: they have no future collectibility either
"Cut the cats out and scrap it" - You're killing me Smalls!
Sandlot, nice reference " you're killing me smalls" my 5 year old and I say that to each other all the time and she thinks its hilarious lol
Not since Nancy Kerrigan have I heard such an iconic sounding "why???"
So funny. Well done.
🤣🤣💀💀
In Brazil, with all the issues this car would still worth a pile of money.
Probably a pile of money because down there "nothing" is still like $1,000,000
Lol I can’t subscribe more than once Tyler.
You can make more accounts lol.
@@tomrohlfs5538 lol true, I won’t be though
If I picked up a car like this, honestly I’d drive it until it died FIRST, then scrap the cats and the car. But it sure would be nice to use as a weekend car
Yeah and look like Exxon Valdez in doing so.
I knew a guy who had one, and the tires were a size that you could only get *1* type of tire from *1* manufacturer, and they were HELLA expensive.
Maybe, but 10mm more or less isnt gonna hurt anything. Makes a good story, but it really is a none issue, all things considered.
When the wheel is held together by the tyre its definitely a hooptie 😂
I hit "like" at, "It gives you something to grab onto."
Lol same
Same.
I did wonder if it was a veiled reference to his wife's slim build... she must be very patient
Hoovies continuing series on why to never own a BMW.
I’d love to own a BMW
They're amazing cars...
When they work!
i went to look at a beautiful 2013 535i xdrive 1 owner full service history since new, car needed over 14 grand worth of work
Maybe buy a decent one, and not a beat down 1900 bucks flagship, and sou get a reliable one? It isn’t that hard
From what I’ve seen on this channel BMWs are a great car to lease. Hope he doesn’t curse someone with this car.
I’d love that car, solely because my current car is the “most reliable” car ever, a 1997, Corolla with 124k and not a single issue. It would be interesting to compare the two lolol
I feel for you! Until last summer, my DD was a 97 Geo Prizm (same car) with 251k miles on it. I spent 13 years waiting for it to die, but it never would! Finally sold it for $300 and I hear it is still on the road. Miserable little thing to drive, but too reliable/cheap to force me to get rid of for years!
I have a 98 Corolla 5 speed manual with over 350K. Damn thing just won't dieeeeeeee
@@rmui25 that’s amazing, hopefully mine gets that far! Even if it doesn’t, it doesn’t matter, parts are so unbelievably cheap for them, $150 for a used c50/c52 5 speed trans and $500 for a whole ass 4afe, our cars can last forever for so much cheaper than a car payment!
I have a 1987 Honda Civic hatchback. Automatic. Had it since 05. Recently just used to get me up the beach for fishing. Starts every time without fail.
@@bert454 If you ever sell this car i'd love too buy it, Born in 2003 but every vehicle i've got is 87 lol.
Gotta say getting rid of my BMW was such a good feeling. Now I can watch your channel and laugh again at the pain that BMW owners endure.
