Thanks Scotty
Thanks Scotty, i Knew more than 5 years about Bmw and Audi, But, i will most likely soon buy an Alfa 159 jtd-4 banger. Pwy from Eu.
Thanks for the Kurbelwinkles Scotty!!
The most expensive car you can buy is a cheap BWW 😂
Of course if you want to make BMW reliable, look into a Range Rover or Maserati.
If you can't afford a new German car, you can't afford a used one.
@@ricklinde9147100% agree
My 228i just passed 100,000 miles with no issues. Suddenly oil puddles, so metal oil pan replacement about to be installed. Terrified about what's coming next! Hope just a few thousand dollars more equates to another 70 or 80,000 miles. Sweating bullets.
@@HyytekkHate to tell you but the oil pan gasket is an expensive fix but otherwise, this is a good engine that with regular maintenance should last you a long time.
Just because used BMWs are cheap doesn't mean the parts and labor are too
To buy a new BMW you must be rich.
To buy a used BMW you must be a millionaire!
The parts are cheap and FCPeuro you can buy the kits for them. Also if you not lazy you can work on them yourself or even find a reputable shop to help you. Once fixed they’re reliable like a Toyota.
$180 per labor hour, $220 diagnostic fee to find out what's wrong then to fix.
BMW has a specific business model that comes with their cars: Buy it, use it for 3-4 years then dump it for a new one. The times you kept them running for ages is long gone.
@@trustyoungpierre9959They can never be reliable like a Toyota because of certain design flaws. They are not built with longevity in mind.
I love this guy I’m a big gearhead. I have a lot of respect for Scotty and I do the same thing. I help other people out and I learned a lot from Scotty.
Imagine looking out of your window and seeing Scotty shooting a video waving those hands around 😂 I would fan girl 😅😂 definitely would need a photo!
Buahahahahahahahhaahhaha this is hilarious hahaha I’d totally fan boy myself lol
If you want a 'nice' second-hand car, buy the best Lexus your budget will allow. It's almost a no brainer.
That's what I did last week. A 2019 Lexus IS with 14k miles and 5 services completed. Yeah, it drives like new of course but it even still smells new!
People buy BMWs for the driving experience. if they wanted to be bored to sleep then they'd go for a Lexus.
@8MunchenBayern8 Hmmm, some do, and some of them are fine machines to drive. I'd suggest that many people drive BMWs for the perceived kudos of having an expensive German car, nothing more...and without much care and significant regular expenditure such 'ultimate driving machines' WILL bite them in the arse.
But where are sub 7s 0-100 lexus's? I cant seem to find. Can do anything lower than that after getting used to golf GTE, has been the most rock solid car so far and doesnt compromise that much in acceleration :/ 140k and battery and engine is still very good! I would probs get GTE 8 instead of lexus.
I’ve bought Mazda’s since the late 80’s with no problems. Started with B2000 truck and have a 2023 CX5.
Mazdas are great. I had mazda 6 2006,manual. Just oil changes and brakes. Amazing car. To bad I got rear ended and insurance just scrap it.
2014 Mazda 6 here. Wife chose it for me. I bought it. And absolutely no regrets. So reliable and low maintenance. Thinking I will trade in and buy a cx9 here soon for a little more room. And I've grown to trust Mazda lol so I don't wanna go with anything else.
i drive a 2022 ranger and it is great but I love to drive my wifes 2022 mazda 3 for fun. If Mazda would bring a mid size pick u to the US I would grab it tomorrow.
I had a little b2200 pickup, it was a great little pickup.

Thank you
Ty
Thx u saved me 20 minutes
surprised mercedes is not on the list
I have never owned a Toyota until last year, I bought a 2017 tacoma trd off road absolutely love it. Sad to say the previous owner didn't do much maintenance on it! So spent the money a got it done what a difference to drive
Omg, just found you and am so glad I did!! Woot woot, happy dance baybee!!
My 2015 Mazda5 Sport with 102,000 miles is awesome. And the acceleration will surprise you. It even has a manual shifting mode. And I also really like the color of the red metallic finish.
German engineers are famous for creating incredibly complex solutions to solve problems that don’t exist.
It's called scrambled thinking and incompetence
It’s sad because Germans have proven throughout history (especially WW2), they can do some fuckin’ math and engineering!
Still lost the actual war and the car war though 😮😂
German engineering has been a myth for a VERY LONG TIME.
German engineers humiliate US ones
Agree. But they do it because people buy the cars...
I live in cold climate and took my cover off. All it is really is mouse nesting material and a roof over their heads.
Same 🤣😂🤣
Great for mice!
Everything I open the hood to refill anti-freeze they look at me! 👋🏻😃
Scotty you're the best from Durand Michigan
Thank you Scotty , as a German I must admit 😅
Greetings from Munich
Another great video sir, thank you for being honest
Great vid as per usual!
My nephew bought a used X3. He is a millwright and he did a lot of the work himself before he sold it. Replaced a lot of cheap plastic parts, including the OEM water pump which had a plastic fan.
In the uk owning a bmw is pretty cheap, every mechanic can work on them, they are still unreliable but getting them fixed is not all that stressful
I was looking for an old mid 2000s Jaguar to have as a daily driver. I never knew how nightmarish it is to maintain the electronics, I do know that the 4.2 v8, the 4.0 inline 6 engines are great. The 3.0 v6 engines are from ford but still reliable. But I failed looking for one, due to almost everyone having an issue, except for one, but it was in a really shady dealer which I avoided after one visit. I ended up with a Lincoln town car, the crown Victoria is really good too, you cannot beat a classic
Dude, Jaguars are known for being the most unreliable vehicles ever made.
Glad you went with the old Lincoln though.
@@alibabaschultz352 they drive wonderfully though. It was tough to find a good Jaguar. My father’s Jaguar always had problems. Still drove like a dream though
I heard BMW stood for Bring Money Withyou. I'm old

Thank you for not trashing on BMW. I've had about a dozen of them and my family loves them. Everything you said about the technology, engines, transmissions, etc is true. Fortunately, my family has learned which models to pick and how to maintain them, so we enjoy our ownership. I sold my 2013 335i to buy a 2004 m3 because I enjoy the more simple car to take car of haha
Me too - I traded in my 3 series with the twin turbo n54 engine for the same car with the much simpler and more reliable n52 engine. Yes, it is slower but just as much fun and much easier to work on and very reliable.
Lots of TOYOTA People do not know but " Toyota WW engine family is a series of 16 valve DOHC inline-4 turbo diesel engines with common rail injection. These engines are based on the BMW N47, modified for use in Toyota vehicles, starting with the Verso in 2014
4.57 kurbelwinkels! Doc, what the hell’s a kurbelwinkel?? 😂😂
German
Crankshaft sensor...or crankshaft angle was meant.
Scotty, thank you for all your information and content. God bless you and your family and friends, also this is what makes my day, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love you Scotty
Scotty, if "beauty covers" are such crap, then why every time you show your Matrix it's still there?!!
Good for me, not for thee....
Beauty covers can help protect some vehicle's ignition systems (spark plug coils for example) from water.
@@bujmoose3992 Yes but they also keep heat inside the engine in hotter weather which in a BMW's case, can cause cracks.
4 cyls doesn't run hot than 6
The only thing i will buy is Mazda, Toyota & Lexus.
Hi Scotty 👋😊.
Too bad someone doesn't start up a new car company and make cars again like in the good ol days 👍😊.
We don't need these stinking computers in cars! 😤
😅 My favorite saying is, (which I made up). "You never saw a 57 Chevy sitting along the road with a bad crank shaft sensor!" 😂
Looks nice🎉
Bought a X4, been driving since 2019. So far, other than annual maintenance, I haven't had a single problem. I think problems accumulate when people can't afford to replace with OEM parts. Aftermarket parts are not BMW quality, they will not last
I owned one BMW, and never again. It was fun to drive, but way to many small annoying things went wrong with it from the fan clutch, oil leaks, power stearing fluid leak, radiator leak, electric window control arm x2, and fuel pump out. I only had it for two years and it was a nightmare. Traded it in for a prius, wanted something dependable while I was finishing school. Here, I am still driving the Prius 180,000 miles later.
Poor guy
I bought a BMW, because I cannot afford to maintain a Renault.
There are other cars that are reliable and don't look like dogshit.
Bro, be honest in here. You bought an old BMW with a lot of miles because it looked nice. To top it off you don’t change your own oil on your car
bro your american and bought an old neglected bmw, then bought a prius which was newer and less go wrong. go figure
I drive a 1996 dodge Dakota. 3.9, stick. doesn't use any oil or check engine light never comes on. I'm not big man on campus with a BMW though.
The german cars are made for lease only they last about as long as a lease then they start breaking.
false, if you live in Europe, cars made in Germany are really reliable, durable if you choose $cyl engine and manual gearbox , benzine or diesel
@@phhuynh9881 talk to any mechanic in America and they will tell you german cars are the worst. Volkswagen BMW top the list of unreliable cars.
What cylinder? Cause I am getting a 3 cylinder 1.0 TSI... 1.5 TSI is way more expensive
@@phhuynh9881I live in Germany und european cars are trash. Will stay in Japan 🇯🇵
I wouldn't buy anything else apart from BMW in the price range of a used one, but it has to be a straight 6 port injected. I will have to admit though you have to be able to fix it yourself as gaskets and water pump can fail as early as 60k miles , if you can't fix it yourself, you could spend an astronomical amount fixing it. I do have a backup Toyota when the BMW needs attention.
You can follow what Scotty is saying even with the sound muted just by following his hands 😄
Bahahahahha
My husband does this and he cannot stop when driving. I bet he is the same! 😅 Drives me nuts.
I did an inspection on a beamer with 48,000 mi and 50 (yes, FIFTY) repairs. Not maintenance - repairs.
Stellantis lays off 199 at Ram 1500 plant in suburban Detroit
The cutback in Sterling Heights, Mich., is the latest in a series of layoffs since UAW members ratified their contract with Stellantis in November.
😊
Scotty is great! Love his videos.
hey scotty, do you think a 2024 mazda cx 30 with 6 speed auto and non turbo 2.5 liter is a good vehicle, we were looking for non cvt and natural aspirated budget friendly.
I'll stick with F-150 Ford Truck, my last one had over 250,000 miles on the engine and it was still going! I bought another one.
Yep, my only complaint with F-150’s is rust, especially if you drive in Northern Canada.
Bring My Wallet? Never heard that one! 😂
Break my wallet
Ive had 2 bmw X5, both E53, a 2004 and a 2006, they were both great no issues and lovely car to drive !
Just wondering if everything is more expensive for u in the US and not for us in the UK.
People in the US drive their cares 10x more than you folks in the UK. One of the major reasons why cars don't last as long here
@@cjohnson18711ifyuhh that’s a lie, a lot of cars last long, it’s the folks who wait until the cars damn near dead to complain about expensive parts when they don’t take care of them
Thanx guys for replies, both relevant, as I said I do about 8,000miles a year and maintain my car 100% ,so reason I don't have any issues.
@@miguelvega7769 you're right about that as well. He stated he drives 8000miles a year. Divide that by 12, that's 666 miles a month or 164 miles a week average. I drive 80 miles a day roundtrip just to work. Which is considered pretty average. What I mean is cars don't last as long as we tend to age cars extremely fast with the amount of miles we drive and how we use vehicles for everything compared to Europe.
Hey Scotty ;) name Dino. I’m
A huge fan & love your videos !!
What u Perfer Ecco boost or regular engine on a ford
Denzar nickname Dino
There is a great BMW mechanic called Hurless Brothers in Boise, ID. Very honest.
In Italy Alfa Romeo are cheap regular cars easy to work on, but lately they did a couple fast models, 4c 8c, if you consider low production numbers, hard to find parts and mechanics and still their usual unreliability, it all comes together.
One of the best was the E36 M3. Made from 92 to 99. Straight 6 with 5 spd man. Hell of a car.
Funny you say that about BMW Scotty! A friend of mine brags about his M3 but in the same sentence also brags that it’s in the shop so much he knows his bmw mechanic better than most friends! lol luckily he’s also got a Nissan GTR that is reliable so he’s got wheels when the bimmer is in the shop lol
gtr is uncomfortable
BMW="Broke Most Weeks"
22:00 wow
Local HERTZ outfit unloaded a bunch of these here in Ohio. My elite neighbors ran to buy them--they are still prancing around in them--first knock on the noggin--"REQUIRES PREMIUM FUEL." Next one: "WARNING OIL SYSTEM," scares them to take the car in for an oil change at Dealer: $200 KA-CHING, wait until the plastic parts start melting and getting brittle....
You can sit in your Toyota or whatever in your driveway and giggle at them lol .,
Uncle Scotty! I laughed so hard during this episode, that my face began to hurt, from smiling too much! Thank you for that! I needed this medicine! 'Vee can get close, but vee cannot get zall whole vay!" < I am outta my chair and on the ground almost peeing myself in ruckus laughter! 🤣
Hey Scotty!
I have a 91 audi 200 20v (5 cylinder turbo) avant.
It has over 460k miles. Original engine and trans.
We also have a 2014 audi allroad with 156k.
It has been MORE reliable than our 2009 Toyota Highlander with 108k (yeah, that surprised me..).
Some audis are indeed trouble but if you know what to look for you can indeed find a solid reliable and well built Audi.
The Englishman really knows his Kurbelwinkels..
These things are incredibly expensive to maintain. I own a shop and see them all the time. Avoid the German cars. There's a reason all my techs drive Toyotas.
As a European, I can never understand the fascination and obsession with BMW, what is the big deal please? They are terrible in the snow and ice, oil leaks aplenty, plastic engine parts, constant issues with engine mgmt lights, overrpriced parts and service, and so on and on and on? Someone please explain? To me BMW's have always been just a slightly better than average car, not quite at Mercs level, but above most other European brands.
I still remembered that Audi slogan Truth in Engineering! What a bunch of baloney!😂😂
what is the name of the English tech that works on BMW?
Had my 5 series for 200k miles and still running strong. Has oil leaks ( thats all highmile bmws ) but if anything happens to it major, its going in the trash
I had a 1998 BMW 540 i Touring! To this day I regret selling it!! 4.4 L aspirated V8
Merry Christmas Scotty 🎅 🎄 😅
I suspect plastic engine beauty covers may be part of a crumple zone/ cushioning system for a pedestrian who has been struck (as a second layer between the hood and the hard valve cover), however I have not confirmed this. They're probably there for pedestrian protection regulatory compliance...
As an Alaskan I loved this video
My BMW is more sensitive than my girlfriend. But on the flipside, when there are no errors or codes you feel quite re-assured!
In the Movie Jackie Brown, Samuel Jackson asked Robert Dinero, what happened to you Man, you used to be beautiful ! That,s how I feel about BMW ! 😢😢
Scotty your so funny ,thanks for being brutally honest . It's great to see your complimenting a beamer .
This must be a rare occasion .
BMW makes more money selling replacement parts then actual cars
I have one and I'm very happy with it after 4 years of owning it no issues ❤
‘Wacky codes up the Wazooo’ buahaha
Indeed if you want to tow heavy items, the manual transmission will be the only long lasting choice. And will save on gas cost, too.
Manual transmissions prevent road rage and accidents because you can't just floor the gas pedal you have to focus on shifting gears which keeps your mind on the car speed and operating the car correctly instead of letting your mind drift and having accidents
@@davindampenSounds like these drivers have ADHD and need to be medicated if their minds are drifting while accelerating their car without the external stimulus of shifting gears.
You are so right about BMW. Probably aame as AUDI. Their coolant lines are all plastic(PVC). They all melt away. VANOS losing hydraulics drive crazy.
My Honda had 160k when i sold it. My Lexus had around 150k when i sold that. And now my Bmw has 140k miles on it. Did all the regular maintenance and treated all my cars good. No issues with any of them. But my bmw is still my favorite. Just a great car to drive. More costly you bet. But we pick and choose our battles.
Rhode Island & Massachusetts people always talk with their hands.😂 I know I do & am from Massachusetts. I don't know why but we do.
Scotty your the best & your honest!❤
Good day Scotty and All.
I currently live in Germany and i will agree with the BMW being crap in the USA but not in Germany. I have a BMW 2010 116 diesel. Paid 3000 dollars and this car runs like a champ. Handle and performs amazingly. Gets me 600 plus mile full tank. Ive had no issues over a year having this vehicle.
They like fleecing Americans.
Love my cx5
i love bmw but they are nearly as impractical as jeeps.
Mama Bear on the Audi shoulda been the thumbnail
my 1 year old toyota corolla hardly used ac had to be replaced also
I saw a 1994 Mazda 323 with 900,000 km and the meter is broken since 4 years so probably it passed the million and the A.C compressor is still the same factory compressor which is 29 years old.
BMW--the Ultimate Driving Machine, my daughter is on her 4 BMW and all of them were great Vehicles and she Drives like a Race Car Driver. She did have to put 2 air Cond. Compressors on her last one but it had over 100,000 miles on vehicle...
I wouldn't touch any Nissan made after 2000 because they all end up having bad transmissions.
Should do Lincoln
The last good bmw was the e90 with n52 engine
My 1999 with a M52TU runs great!
Man who working at the plant snitched to a famous youtuber? Im pretty sure i recognize that BMW too 🤣
Toyotas are the best. We have 4 in the family. We usually buy and trade them in every 6 years 150,000Miles. Only services we did was doing $19.99 oil changes once a year and no other maintenance done. Great cars!
Toyota and Honda forever!!! Including Subaru
But they are boring run of the mill vehicles.
@@jpizel1070 i know, its for normal people like me. Low cost and dependable cars. Not for everyone whose looking for exotics.
Review a bmw with a b58🤝🏼
Kolla bara på olika privat sälj sighter hur många BMW som helst.
Försök att hitta en Toyota eller Suzuki du får leta med ljus och lyckta då.
I currently have a 2017 V6 Accord with almost 300,000 miles. Never needed any repairs and has been incredible in every way. Next I am considering the Honda HR-V, because I have a kid now. I don't like the EV direction Honda is going in. Toyota has the better idea of focusing on hybrids. My next car might be my last Honda :(
I’m in South Carolina 😂 that is strange
My 2010 bmw x5 xdrive30i has over 250k miles, easy to work on parts are always there and ORIGINAL MOTOR AND TRANNY, folks don’t do maintenance and preventive maintenance and wait until they vehicle damn near died to now repair 😂
Scotty obviously appreciates more than just good cars!
Liked the 1970's and 1980's BMW's. Think they are too complicated these day's.
I think scotty is a closet bmw fancier. I don't see him having this much fun with any other cars.
Hey Scotty love your videos, I would like to ask you, what's your opinion on Renault.
I'm driving a Renault Clio 2003 1149cc which is very cheap on gas and gets the job done really well, really fun car to drive too.
Is it true BMW drivers don't need or use indicators ?
I want to see your impressions of bmw cars with b48 and b58 engines. We all know N series engines are bad.
I had one BMtroubleyou and will never have one again
Love it!! Bring my wallet!!! LOL!!
BMW x5, really comfortable seats, but impossible to repair 😂😂😂
Furniture makers were always based in the southern USA
@@davindampen Or New England or Pennsylvania take your pick
BMW only if you can fix it without the expensive dealer. (Meyle has good parts too.)
My '20 M5 competition is absolutely too awesome. It does cost more than my '16 Ford fusion to maintain, but it's entirely worth it. A luxury sport sedan that literally humiliates almost any gas burning car on the road.
