Is it just me or has the production value suddenly increased? The camera work and editing is fantastic! You’re doing amazing Tyler, never give up! You seem so much happier in this video
Disagree. This looks terrible and boomer like. More like car issues. I don’t want videos in this format. The actual quality of the video is…bad too. Only 1080p and low quality? Tyler typically uploads in 4k.
I've had Jonny work on my car several times and he's a GREAT guy. He treated me very fairly and did a great job. If you live in the Wichita area and own a Porsche, Audi or BMW..... definitely take your car to German Motor Works!!!
I appreciate the increased production quality on this video, but it feels less hoovie than normal. I don’t know where the sweet spot is but one of my favorite things about your videos is the silliness and casual style! Excited to see where you take this though 😄
he was able to 'engineer' laughs and emphasize his relevance by doing silly camera work with a selfie stick. the new format proves he doesn't need any of those gimmicks to make good content.
This edit may be technically better than your ‘usual’ but I love your’usual’ style of videos Hoovie. I get a sense that you are a real person and that you are talking to us whereas I don’t get that feeling from the fancy style of videos. I will always support you though because you are the best!
I agree 100%. It doesn’t feel candid and genuine like his videos usually do. I come here for the personalities and the careless humorous content. The higher production value and background music somehow take away from that.
I never have liked the motor trend style footage. It's too reality TV like. Sometimes dizzying like watching The Office. The pans and zooms are ok at times but other scenes just give off a bad feel. Sorry if this sounds harsh, I went to school for photo and media so these things I get picky about. Yes that does contradict myself too by saying the basic selfie stick looks better, but its the platform and brand image we are so used to.
I've read some other comments that are saying that this might be recorded by the Car Ninja's guy, as the Car Ninja's videos are in this style. Guess we will see
This felt like a whole tv episode! I’m a BMW tech and I recently had to do some injectors on an E70 X5M (same generation) and this whole car is an absolute nightmare. Only 88k miles and every plastic in the entire engine bay cracked and shattered and doing injectors on this thing takes hours upon hours. The worst part is that as soon as it’s fixed, it’ll just break again some other way next week. Good luck with the repairs on this car!
I feel like a lot of times, it is the owners of the car and who they take it to. I have a 198k original engine e46 zhp, 15 x3 28d, 16 535d, and an e92 m3. I have owned e36s, e30s and nevery really had many problems. The biggest problem I have ever had was my disa valve broke and mulched my e90 330xi 6 spd engine. Super unlucky but the rest of them no problems. Never take mine to a dealership, take it to 2 bmw performance shops, all set
I liked the higher production quality but I do miss the more pov style from before. It gave the sense we were experiencing what Tyler was along with him and not simply watching from the outside. I think a good medium could be reached, but great so far!
I agree the more it gets produced and edited the less authentic it will become, I dont watch this channel for discovery Channel/history Channel style content
@@JimP419 that’s kinda spot on style wise. I’m still trying to find the word for why I’m not a fan of the quality increase. I’d say it comes off ‘corporate clean’
I'll add my voice to it, yeah this felt strangely more like a Car Ninja video. Not a bad thing of course just helps show how professional he is, where as with The Wizard it feels like two old friends and one of them is a professional mechanic that knows tons about fixing hoopties.
I bet this car will clean up really nicely. Take off all those stickers, the plasti-dip on the wheels and give it some clear coat and it will look like new again. I personally like the styling, despite it being a little impractical as an SUV.
I love that there are ‘Johnny’s’ out there for us. Clearly he is why his shop and channel are so amazing. Good people, doing good work, create good/great results.
Hoovie, I haven't missed a video since you bought your land cruiser all those years ago. I never comment on TH-cam. However, I just want you to know your content is the perfect balance between hilarity and "hooptie education". I respect where you started and the effort that goes into the content you now create. You are a natural Tyler. Keep up the good work!
Hoovie, you can't spell "dumbest automotive channel in all of TH-cam" without "best automotive channel in all of TH-cam". Thanks for making it! P.S. of all of the truly bad cars you've bought, this is one of spectacular. I salute you.
Hoovie, thank you for continuing to produce awesome content while you’re handling almost insurmountable non-media related issues. I’ve been watching your videos for a few years and they reliably put a much needed smile on my face. Thanks for being you Tyler!
That was fun. I was tired of way too many Lambos. Affordable cars can be fun too. But no, I don't want one of these. But a lot can still be learned. Be sure to give us an update! Thanks Tyler.
My dad owns a dealership. Multiple times we’ve found things disconnected for no apparent reason and he realized other dealers are disconnecting things under the hood to make it run like junk/ have issues to try to get a better deal on it at the auction. We have probably seen it on atleast 20 cars
Production value is getting up! Nice. But when he is going over the faulty parts, I miss that GoPro point of view. Brill shots don't show as well what is wrong.
As long as hoovie is purchasing these crappy bimmers, i don't have to watch horror movies. Thanks! The new cameraman/cutter does a nice job. I love the ninja, he's an absolute pro, and has a great sense of humour.
Thank you Hoovie for highlighting and exposing the truth about these late model BMW’s unreliability and common problems. I can’t say the same for earlier bimmers 85-90’ish
I just noticed the more cinematic look of this video compared to old ones. I dont want to sound negative, but there is something really neat about the guerrilla stile point and shoot Hoovie used to do. I dont like this new more polished look as much
Damn Hoovie... I like the change in the production values.. the additional B-roll and the rundown of the trouble codes was really well done, with the muted tone, and professional demeanor. I was not so much a fan of the "I do stooped stuff" gimmick, but this is really nice.
Just met Tyler at Barrett Jackson today. He took the time to take a picture with my 9 year old son. He was very friendly and cool. Made our day. Thanks Tyler. And thanks to your producer for introducing us.
Really appreciate the effort in putting more into the production value for the video but something about you holding a go pro for filming made it feel more raw and real and is what added more Hoovieness to the videos. Much love Hoovie
It's really amazing the amount of problems a bad PCV valve can cause. The increased pressure will push oil out of any seal it can and look like a complete mess to fix.
I keep seeing people call him "Hoovies". Are people really so dumb? His nickname is Hoovie. Without the s. That is just logic. If the channel name was "Mikes garage", would you think the guy's name is "Mikes" or rather maybe, wait for it... ....Mike ? I know, carzy right.
Good news! The increased production values have increased engagement! Bad news, I'm posting because I'm joining the folks in the comments who miss the original, more endearing style of video, but also support you and hope the best for whatever is going on in your private life. Viva hoopties, viva Hoovie!
It’s always refreshing to see the car ninja look at these high dollar German cars. Most other mechanics would complain about how complicated everything is, but the ninja really understands these inside and out
I have a series 5 525d, bought it when it came out on 2006 and 16 years later and with almost 400.000km, never had any engine issue, just the typical oil change, breaks, tires, filter, the stuff that wears in every single car and never ever had to fix/replace my engine. Is sad to see that good engines from BMW breaks after few thousand miles if you dont maintain it well like older m3 or m4..
Your usual video format felt genuine and relatable almost. This new format feels cheap and makes me eye-roll every time. Please don't CarTrek-ify your usual videos.
I've driven one of these, the newer body one. They are a fun driving experience to be honest. Its cool to be tall and fast. I cant imagine the lifestyle of somone that would roach one of these though.
My friend owns a 2020 X6M, it handles pretty well. Surprisingly light steering (in stock setting) but still very responsive and it weighs up nicely once it's in Sport mode. Definitely something I'd consider buying in the future honestly, that or a Infiniti FX50S which I've yet to test drive but I'm sure it's equally as fun.
Yeah, I'd never buy one because they aren't practical, but I have no idea what he's going on about with it looking "ugly". It's a great looking vehicle, IMO. Just kinda dumb for an SUV.
I would really like to see him to do a big rebuild on this x6 , it would bring back the magic to the channel , thats what we are all here for from the begining . Go Tyler 😁💪
Hi Tyler. Love that you are experimenting with production value and having a camera person really is a great addition. The editing still needs a bit of work imho. I would advise against cutting from the conversation for b roll or j cuts in conversation. Especially coming from from your lofi genuine content, it's quite jarring. I of course understand it'd early days and finding a feel takes a little bit of time. Looking forward to see where you take this.
Great vid! Only tuned back in recently, glad to see Tyler doing well and seemingly, happier. Ninja has come on so much since I last watched, far more comfortable in front of the camera, top bloke! His knowledge is vast and impressive.
@@fishijoe He hasn't actually said that, though it is pretty obvious. I've always said that women have two sets of teeth. One in their mouth, and one in their [insert female body part here].
I didn’t notice the increased production quality until I read the comments. I guess I liked it because I’m still here. Love the videos and great to see all the problems with these hoopies!
Yoh, the more professional editing and camera work caught me off guard. Its different and alot of people are hating on it but they are just scared of evolution. Its still 100% Hoovie and I am definitely open to seeing more of it!
Gone are the days of Hoovie making videos with his Fisher Price PXL2000. Now the production quality has increased, to say, ummm, Wheeler Dealers circa 2012. Job Done!
Not quite the reaction I was expecting from Car Ninja - guess it isn't quite as rough as I envisioned it. 😊 And I don't think he hates it as much as he says - he looks absolutely eager to dive right into this one.
I feel like I'm watching a show on the History Channel with the boomer-esque country rock music playing in the background. The higher production quality is nice other than that bit.
Ooh... I like the new and improved camera work! Still feels Hoovie-ish, just don't lose too much of the silliness. And for me, the cheesy music can go... I'm excited to see whats next for Hoovies Garage.
With Johnny's experience I would be extremely interested in hearing his opinions on the later versions of the N63/S63 V8 and whether the revisions that they made increased the reliability of the engine.
Dear Hoovies Garage, 1. Greeting from Singapore. I own one of these BMWs since brand new unit in Singapore . Ya, my unit is a 2011 model year, E71, with S63 V8 engine and it is still going strong with me. Mileage is 80K KM now. I m still the first owner. Cost to own at 2011 is SGD500K (USD 360K) Yes, Singapore car ownership is the second highest in the World. 2. Your video commentary is very subjective to the X6M and indeed biased. On the contrary, I m here to give you my side of my happy ownership experience. I m having a wonderful motoring experience with this Super SUV since day 1. 3. The trick to keep this S63 engine healthy is to change oil n filter often. My definition of often is less than 5K KM. I only used Mobil1 ESP 0w-40 and with no other additive. It is a C3 type engine oil. Never use engine flush too. 4. Weather in Singapore is mostly 30C-35C all year round. 5. You Mechanic inside this video also said all those problems items are not expensive to fix. 6. Just replaced all you PCV valves. A must for all BMW engines after 50K-60K Km. This is a very cheap item to replace. 7. I changed all my vacuum hoses ( complete) . These are not expensive items too. 8. I changed my oil filter housing too. S$ 65 only 9. Do not worry about your non AGM battery. Each AGM battery weight around 30-36Kg. I would recommend use a Lithium battery only weight 5.7 Kg with 950 CCA . So much lighter and full charged takes about 10 mins on the road. You dun have to worry anymore about the electric fan keep running for 10 mins after a spirited driving when the engine is being switched off. No more low batt volt for this car anymore and bye bye to heavy weight penalty AGM battery . Cost for Lithium battis S$300 . Now may be even cheaper. ( Rate: 1 USD = 1.39 SGD). In USD term, it is around 216 USD. Very affordable. 10. My X6M original color was like in the Video. Color code called Melbourne Red. After its 10 years of life, I changed to an Alpine White 3M PPC wrap. It costs SGD 3.5K to do this job. Your poor paint work was due to negligence and poor ownership. Small issue too. After the wrap, I used Carpro coating on top of the wrap and all the wheels. 11. The rear ride height control ballon leaks was also a simple replacement. It cost less than 400 with original parts.. If you can do it yourself, it is even cheaper . 12. ATF, ATF filter and rear diff oils all must replaced every 30K KM with only BMW factory oils. Again, they are not expensive . 13. At 65K KM, I did several preventive maintenance to this monster. A new set of BMW spark plugs and set of 8 Original coils changed. Head cover gasket ( no OEM items) and oil sump gasket replaced. All PCV valves and vacuum hoses out with brand new one. 14. At 65K KM, front and rear suspension stopper; upper and lower rubber mounting ; anti roll bar linkage all replaced. Both rear wheel sensors replaced. 15. I also upgraded my original BMW 20” factory wheels to the one piece light weight 20”forge wheels. The weight saving on each wheel is about 7kg(front) to 9 Kg (back). Can you imagine how much unsprung weight has removed? 16. Like your mechanic said, this is the cheapest BMW to fix. I fully agreed with his statement. This S63 engine is the Power House BMW. BMW built many war planes for Germany to fight in WWII with Great Britain in the air. This was the base engine in those 80 years ago. This S63 is powerfully majestic and bullet proof. It must be taken good care when you have high demand from the engine output. 17. When I drive to Penang, Malaysia, I am doing about 220-270Km/h in a long stretch on the highway. This is a fly machine on the land. No wonder most Royal families in Malaysia owned X6 or X6M. 18. Tyres are Michelin 4S front and rear is PS4 only ( I want back not to be too sticky) 19. At year 11, BMW Munich factory wrote to me and changed for me 2 new air bags for FOC. Because I intended to keep this car for at least another 25-30 years. 20. BTW, my engine is original untouched . Even the air filter element is from factory. 21. My final advise is : without this kind of simple maintenance knowledge , please do not buy M’s car or Mercedes AMGs. You are asking for troubles. BTW, I am not a mechanic . My day job is in the financial community. 22. Warmest Regards. .
I just realized why I like this Channel so much , Hoivie shows you exactly what cars are completely SH%% and what to avoid if you aren't a mechanic or financially independent.
Now that's what you always want to hear from your mechanic (and hopefully it's from Jonny) when you take a "piece of work" in to get fixed. I'm actually "extending" well wishes for you on this one, Tyler.
I have to say I definitely think way better production value when Hoovie has someone manning the camera, try to keep this style of videos coming. We love you hoovie wishing you happiness sorry you’re going thru some tough times. Things will get better stay 💪🏽
The production changes are great! Something to be very proud of Hoovie. I know there’s naysayers in the comments, but this style may appeal to more people just getting into the automotive TH-cam world and we’ll all be here to welcome them into the community here!
In my opinion this is one of the coolest bmws ever. First ever turbocharged M car, first M SUV and IMO a great looking car. Also this is one of if not the first SAV coupe thing ever made. Nice video
I prefer the old style, without background music and simple cameras, it makes it feel more real, more spontaneous. This new style feels more like an episode of Car Trek, which is only good for Car Trek.
So nice to get an extra video of the Car Ninja! He doesn't put out enough content for us viewers! And his personality is starting to show a little bit, not so camera shy.
I know some people appreciate the new camera work and style, but I don't like it. I loved your old style as it felt more sincere and genuine, as opposed to the almost "reality TV car show" vibe I'm getting now. I will still watch your videos and support you, I'm just providing some feedback.
I appreciate the effort and the result but to be honest I prefer the original hoovie production videos..it gave that extra "dumb" feeling that I simply loved..😅😅
I really didn’t like the design of this car when it first came out. However, compared to current BMW designs and recent cars designs in general, I can’t believe that I think it’s beautiful.
This vehicle was actually a very controversial release from bmw in 2008, and with that said they sold out so good even Mercedes’ copied the outfit with the gle, whoever owned this one dropped the suspension, and ruined it, but this is actually a good looking vehicle.
Is it just me or has the production value suddenly increased? The camera work and editing is fantastic! You’re doing amazing Tyler, never give up! You seem so much happier in this video
Same like he got an editor and a camera man.
Disagree. This looks terrible and boomer like. More like car issues. I don’t want videos in this format. The actual quality of the video is…bad too. Only 1080p and low quality? Tyler typically uploads in 4k.
Yeah I just double check what channel I was on. Looks great.
He's even got the Pawn Stars-esque, boomer-dad-playing-guitar, b-roll music.
I have only seen one episode of Car Issues but it feels like this was shot in a similar vein.
Any video with Johnny is such a joy. A true professional who loves the brand but just shakes his head at what it’s become….
Facts!!!!!! :D :D :D
He loves it because he gets paid handsomely to fix these heaps for people with more money than sense.
@@porcelainthunder2213 Big Money Wasted…..BMW.
I've had Jonny work on my car several times and he's a GREAT guy. He treated me very fairly and did a great job. If you live in the Wichita area and own a Porsche, Audi or BMW..... definitely take your car to German Motor Works!!!
hes a real mechanic you can tell
I appreciate the increased production quality on this video, but it feels less hoovie than normal. I don’t know where the sweet spot is but one of my favorite things about your videos is the silliness and casual style! Excited to see where you take this though 😄
I agree. This feels closer to a TV show with all the background music. Hopefully he doesn't change to this permanently.
he was able to 'engineer' laughs and emphasize his relevance by doing silly camera work with a selfie stick. the new format proves he doesn't need any of those gimmicks to make good content.
Same feeling here. Particularly I find more casual and less fancy videos much better to watch
feel like car trek lol
It’s better but not. At least the audio levels are good. It feels like I’m a creeper spying on these guys.
This edit may be technically better than your ‘usual’ but I love your’usual’ style of videos Hoovie. I get a sense that you are a real person and that you are talking to us whereas I don’t get that feeling from the fancy style of videos. I will always support you though because you are the best!

It came off as inauthentic to me.
Agreed, the production quality was good but it really threw me off. I don't expect this style of video with Hoovie and my brain doesn't compute.
I'm happy to see Tyler look happier.
Johnny seemed to take it easier on him too.
Bad situations bring out the best in people. ❤
This felt like a whole tv episode! I’m a BMW tech and I recently had to do some injectors on an E70 X5M (same generation) and this whole car is an absolute nightmare. Only 88k miles and every plastic in the entire engine bay cracked and shattered and doing injectors on this thing takes hours upon hours. The worst part is that as soon as it’s fixed, it’ll just break again some other way next week. Good luck with the repairs on this car!
At least it’s beautiful to look at while you’re working on it 😂
I think these cars a absolute garbage what’s the point of even buying 😂 just to look good?
So in other words, trade it in before the warranty expires??
I feel like a lot of times, it is the owners of the car and who they take it to. I have a 198k original engine e46 zhp, 15 x3 28d, 16 535d, and an e92 m3. I have owned e36s, e30s and nevery really had many problems. The biggest problem I have ever had was my disa valve broke and mulched my e90 330xi 6 spd engine. Super unlucky but the rest of them no problems. Never take mine to a dealership, take it to 2 bmw performance shops, all set
Hoovie should give it to Mr Wizard so he can take a BF Hammer to it
I liked the higher production quality but I do miss the more pov style from before. It gave the sense we were experiencing what Tyler was along with him and not simply watching from the outside. I think a good medium could be reached, but great so far!
I agree there’s times where the pov of Tyler carrying the camera with him is needed and makes the videos more funny in some moments
I agree the more it gets produced and edited the less authentic it will become, I dont watch this channel for discovery Channel/history Channel style content
@@JimP419 that’s kinda spot on style wise. I’m still trying to find the word for why I’m not a fan of the quality increase. I’d say it comes off ‘corporate clean’
@jimp9251 you summarized what I meant very well, and I agree. Although I feel this edited style will be what we see going forward, unfortunately.
People will never be happy with what they get, especially the fact that it's free content
I'll add my voice to it, yeah this felt strangely more like a Car Ninja video. Not a bad thing of course just helps show how professional he is, where as with The Wizard it feels like two old friends and one of them is a professional mechanic that knows tons about fixing hoopties.
I think Ninja's production/camera guy helped Hoovie out with this one. Would make sense considering what he is going through
@@lsuman8883 what does hoovie go through now I see everybody talking about. Divorce? If so how did you guys know?
@@awahady6864 someone looked up the public court records and found Hoovie filed a petition to divorce

@@lsuman8883 Oh that is sad hope he gets over it soon
Great content as usual but an obviously different production strategy. Don't go overboard Tyler. Part of the charm of the "Garage" is the format.
Johnny really is a man of so much knowledge, watching him never is a dull moment.
Hoovie seems to be in a really good mood. That's nice to see. Daddy Doug surely helped out, great pal for sure
his divorce is getting finalized. He can see freedom
@@seanm3ify This is still speculation, right?
@@amazingjason455 no, someone in Kansas did a search of the local district court records and sure enough hoovie petitioned for divorce
@@santiagotorres9653 "someone". Oh, right. Did that same "someone" tell you who shot JFK also?

I bet this car will clean up really nicely. Take off all those stickers, the plasti-dip on the wheels and give it some clear coat and it will look like new again. I personally like the styling, despite it being a little impractical as an SUV.
I’m definitely 50/50 on the improved production quality. I liked the POV style, all it needed was an up to date camera and the colour pumped up a bit.
I love that there are ‘Johnny’s’ out there for us. Clearly he is why his shop and channel are so amazing. Good people, doing good work, create good/great results.

"You cannot even put a bag over it"
- Car Ninja
I'm dying XD
Tyler's confusion right after that statement made it for me.
Hoovie, you can't spell "dumbest automotive channel in all of TH-cam" without "best automotive channel in all of TH-cam". Thanks for making it!
P.S. of all of the truly bad cars you've bought, this is one of spectacular. I salute you.
Hoovie, thank you for continuing to produce awesome content while you’re handling almost insurmountable non-media related issues. I’ve been watching your videos for a few years and they reliably put a much needed smile on my face. Thanks for being you Tyler!
What issues is he handling?
That was fun. I was tired of way too many Lambos. Affordable cars can be fun too. But no, I don't want one of these. But a lot can still be learned. Be sure to give us an update! Thanks Tyler.
My dad owns a dealership. Multiple times we’ve found things disconnected for no apparent reason and he realized other dealers are disconnecting things under the hood to make it run like junk/ have issues to try to get a better deal on it at the auction. We have probably seen it on atleast 20 cars
that's horrible but I 100% believe it. probably not even just dealers doing it either.
Cheers Hoovie, hope life is treating you well.
Production value is getting up! Nice.
But when he is going over the faulty parts, I miss that GoPro point of view. Brill shots don't show as well what is wrong.
If anyone can make a BMW right again, it’s the Ninja! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out and at what overall cost.
Raceboy221 If it was built, it can be rebuilt. Just depends how how much you want to spend.
Man bmws are great for the first 10 trips to mcdonalds after you buy it and then foe everything and everyone else after that its regret 😂
As long as hoovie is purchasing these crappy bimmers, i don't have to watch horror movies. Thanks! The new cameraman/cutter does a nice job.

Thank you Hoovie for highlighting and exposing the truth about these late model BMW’s unreliability and common problems. I can’t say the same for earlier bimmers 85-90’ish
I just noticed the more cinematic look of this video compared to old ones.
I dont want to sound negative, but there is something really neat about the guerrilla stile point and shoot Hoovie used to do. I dont like this new more polished look as much
yeah that i can agree to.
Johnny is always such an understated but never underestimated true professional.
Damn Hoovie... I like the change in the production values.. the additional B-roll and the rundown of the trouble codes was really well done, with the muted tone, and professional demeanor. I was not so much a fan of the "I do stooped stuff" gimmick, but this is really nice.
The video was done by the guy who films for car ninja

It's really amazing the amount of problems a bad PCV valve can cause. The increased pressure will push oil out of any seal it can and look like a complete mess to fix.
It's not only the valve, main problem seems to be that the vaccuum line came off
Classic Hoovie with a Ninja twist. Thanks for the collaboration!
Much better production quality! Still some wrinkles to work out but this was a huge improvement. Can't wait to see what the future holds for Hoovies!
Agreed. I feel like I’m watching a Barrett Jackson short.
I disagree, too TV like. It's missing youtube vibe
I keep seeing people call him "Hoovies". Are people really so dumb? His nickname is Hoovie. Without the s. That is just logic. If the channel name was "Mikes garage", would you think the guy's name is "Mikes" or rather maybe, wait for it... ....Mike ? I know, carzy right.
If you like this boomer editing style, more power to you, but go watch TV then.
This style is garbage

It’s always refreshing to see the car ninja look at these high dollar German cars. Most other mechanics would complain about how complicated everything is, but the ninja really understands these inside and out
The car ninja’s daily driver is a 2011 X5 which is basically the same car. I would expect him to know this one.
check out the BMW doctor, his knowledge is ridiculously impressive
A sucker... Opps, I mean BMW buyer is born every minute.
Unfortunately, a BMW dies every 2 seconds.

Probably the same kind of guys that would own a Maserati Levante and don’t do oil changes for 60k miles…
My friend owns a 2020 X6M, it handles pretty well. Surprisingly light steering (in stock setting) but still very responsive and it weighs up nicely once it's in Sport mode.
Definitely something I'd consider buying in the future honestly, that or a Infiniti FX50S which I've yet to test drive but I'm sure it's equally as fun.
I love the shape of the car, I would totally drive it!
Yeah, I'd never buy one because they aren't practical, but I have no idea what he's going on about with it looking "ugly". It's a great looking vehicle, IMO. Just kinda dumb for an SUV.
Yeah he's a bit overkill with his opinion but whatever
Bit over produced, prefer the GoPro, no music style 👍🏻
There's something so comforting about the ninja. He's a true master of his craft.
Ninja is never happy. He is SUPER happy. We should be more like Ninja.
Video quality feels more like a TV show rather than a vlog 👍👍
I would really like to see him to do a big rebuild on this x6 , it would bring back the magic to the channel , thats what we are all here for from the begining . Go Tyler 😁💪
This ugly car right here?
The panning shots make it feel like a cheap tv-show..
Hi Tyler. Love that you are experimenting with production value and having a camera person really is a great addition. The editing still needs a bit of work imho. I would advise against cutting from the conversation for b roll or j cuts in conversation. Especially coming from from your lofi genuine content, it's quite jarring. I of course understand it'd early days and finding a feel takes a little bit of time. Looking forward to see where you take this.
Great vid! Only tuned back in recently, glad to see Tyler doing well and seemingly, happier. Ninja has come on so much since I last watched, far more comfortable in front of the camera, top bloke! His knowledge is vast and impressive.
The good news is Hoovie has made a lot of good friends along the way. At least he has them now in this hard time for him. #theboys 🍻

Ooooo nice camera work and editing. We love you Hoovie!!!
I didn’t notice the increased production quality until I read the comments. I guess I liked it because I’m still here. Love the videos and great to see all the problems with these hoopies!
Yoh, the more professional editing and camera work caught me off guard. Its different and alot of people are hating on it but they are just scared of evolution. Its still 100% Hoovie and I am definitely open to seeing more of it!
WOAH. A major step up in production there Hoovie! Great work, what an inspiration!
Gone are the days of Hoovie making videos with his Fisher Price PXL2000. Now the production quality has increased, to say, ummm, Wheeler Dealers circa 2012. Job Done!
The quality of the production on this video is noticeably improved! Nice work, love it.
I personally like the old filming style more, I love to watch from a POV standpoint instead of just watching two people talk in the distance
Too much production love the hand held raw videos which makes it feel real
Not quite the reaction I was expecting from Car Ninja - guess it isn't quite as rough as I envisioned it. 😊 And I don't think he hates it as much as he says - he looks absolutely eager to dive right into this one.
I really liked the look of these, not sure why, but I always have.
"not sure why"
Same with me, it looks better the more you see it. It grows on you. It looks muscular
First gen X6's look the best.
I don’t know why but I think it’s Beautiful! If it had all its power it would be Awesome! Waxed up and nice exhaust note would be Really Cool!!!
I feel like I'm watching a show on the History Channel with the boomer-esque country rock music playing in the background. The higher production quality is nice other than that bit.
It felt like I was watching a TV show. The production quality is great!
Ooh... I like the new and improved camera work! Still feels Hoovie-ish, just don't lose too much of the silliness. And for me, the cheesy music can go... I'm excited to see whats next for Hoovies Garage.
Please bury this one Tyler.
Give it to Whistlin Diesel for a red-dead episode!
Deep, deep in the dirt.
With Johnny's experience I would be extremely interested in hearing his opinions on the later versions of the N63/S63 V8 and whether the revisions that they made increased the reliability of the engine.
the 3td revision 13-16 are the best
@@johndc2998 no 2020 revisions are the best
Dear Hoovies Garage,
1. Greeting from Singapore. I own one of these BMWs since brand new unit in Singapore . Ya, my unit is a 2011 model year, E71, with S63 V8 engine and it is still going strong with me. Mileage is 80K KM now. I m still the first owner. Cost to own at 2011 is SGD500K (USD 360K) Yes, Singapore car ownership is the second highest in the World.
2. Your video commentary is very subjective to the X6M and indeed biased. On the contrary, I m here to give you my side of my happy ownership experience. I m having a wonderful motoring experience with this Super SUV since day 1.
3. The trick to keep this S63 engine healthy is to change oil n filter often. My definition of often is less than 5K KM. I only used Mobil1 ESP 0w-40 and with no other additive. It is a C3 type engine oil. Never use engine flush too.
4. Weather in Singapore is mostly 30C-35C all year round.
5. You Mechanic inside this video also said all those problems items are not expensive to fix.
6. Just replaced all you PCV valves. A must for all BMW engines after 50K-60K Km. This is a very cheap item to replace.
7. I changed all my vacuum hoses ( complete) . These are not expensive items too.
8. I changed my oil filter housing too. S$ 65 only
9. Do not worry about your non AGM battery. Each AGM battery weight around 30-36Kg. I would recommend use a Lithium battery only weight 5.7 Kg with 950 CCA . So much lighter and full charged takes about 10 mins on the road. You dun have to worry anymore about the electric fan keep running for 10 mins after a spirited driving when the engine is being switched off. No more low batt volt for this car anymore and bye bye to heavy weight penalty AGM battery . Cost for Lithium battis S$300 . Now may be even cheaper. ( Rate: 1 USD = 1.39 SGD). In USD term, it is around 216 USD. Very affordable.
10. My X6M original color was like in the Video. Color code called Melbourne Red. After its 10 years of life, I changed to an Alpine White 3M PPC wrap. It costs SGD 3.5K to do this job. Your poor paint work was due to negligence and poor ownership. Small issue too. After the wrap, I used Carpro coating on top of the wrap and all the wheels.
11. The rear ride height control ballon leaks was also a simple replacement. It cost less than 400 with original parts.. If you can do it yourself, it is even cheaper .
12. ATF, ATF filter and rear diff oils all must replaced every 30K KM with only BMW factory oils. Again, they are not expensive .
13. At 65K KM, I did several preventive maintenance to this monster. A new set of BMW spark plugs and set of 8 Original coils changed. Head cover gasket ( no OEM items) and oil sump gasket replaced. All PCV valves and vacuum hoses out with brand new one.
14. At 65K KM, front and rear suspension stopper; upper and lower rubber mounting ; anti roll bar linkage all replaced. Both rear wheel sensors replaced.
15. I also upgraded my original BMW 20” factory wheels to the one piece light weight 20”forge wheels. The weight saving on each wheel is about 7kg(front) to 9 Kg (back). Can you imagine how much unsprung weight has removed?
16. Like your mechanic said, this is the cheapest BMW to fix. I fully agreed with his statement. This S63 engine is the Power House BMW. BMW built many war planes for Germany to fight in WWII with Great Britain in the air. This was the base engine in those 80 years ago. This S63 is powerfully majestic and bullet proof. It must be taken good care when you have high demand from the engine output.
17. When I drive to Penang, Malaysia, I am doing about 220-270Km/h in a long stretch on the highway. This is a fly machine on the land. No wonder most Royal families in Malaysia owned X6 or X6M.
18. Tyres are Michelin 4S front and rear is PS4 only ( I want back not to be too sticky)
19. At year 11, BMW Munich factory wrote to me and changed for me 2 new air bags for FOC. Because I intended to keep this car for at least another 25-30 years.
20. BTW, my engine is original untouched . Even the air filter element is from factory.
21. My final advise is : without this kind of simple maintenance knowledge , please do not buy M’s car or Mercedes AMGs. You are asking for troubles. BTW, I am not a mechanic . My day job is in the financial community.
22. Warmest Regards.

I don't know if I just haven't been paying attention, but the video quality is awesome on this video! Looks like a TV show.
Look out, it's chapter two.
I can’t wait for the part three!
with all respect to camera crew, this doesn't feel as good as a regular hoovies garage episode does, hopefully it's something exclusive to this video
Love hoovies videos! I do prefer the lower production videos...just saying, save the cash.
Video quality, sound quality and videography look incredible!! It all looks incredible!
I relate with how shocked Hoovie is by the fact that his BMW isn't completely mechanically totalled.
Me too bro this old bmw i was preparing to feel financially as worthless as i am
i hate the new “tv look” direction hoovies going.
I really appreciate more content from the dumbest automotive channel during this difficult time Hoovie! Keep up the great work!!!
I just realized why I like this Channel so much , Hoivie shows you exactly what cars are completely SH%% and what to avoid if you aren't a mechanic or financially independent.
The production quality on this video is FANFCKINTASTIC
Now that's what you always want to hear from your mechanic (and hopefully it's from Jonny) when you take a "piece of work" in to get fixed. I'm actually "extending" well wishes for you on this one, Tyler.
If I had Johnny or the Wizard as a mechanic, I'd take their recommended advice and go with it.
I have to say I definitely think way better production value when Hoovie has someone manning the camera, try to keep this style of videos coming. We love you hoovie wishing you happiness sorry you’re going thru some tough times. Things will get better stay 💪🏽
Meh, feels like such a TV show.. Not what I subscribed for. I don't watch the TH-cam shows. The audio quality and levels is very good though, keep it!
The production changes are great! Something to be very proud of Hoovie. I know there’s naysayers in the comments, but this style may appeal to more people just getting into the automotive TH-cam world and we’ll all be here to welcome them into the community here!
The X6 looks like it started transforming from a sedan into an SUV then halfway thru just said “Fuck It” 😂
In my opinion this is one of the coolest bmws ever. First ever turbocharged M car, first M SUV and IMO a great looking car. Also this is one of if not the first SAV coupe thing ever made. Nice video
This one definitely has the Velocity Garage feel to it. Very "Car Ninja" channel style. I dig it, guy does a great job.
Car Ninja totally missed Hoovie's full extension joke @ 11:10. 😅😅😅
Hoovie, been following along for years. Really enjoy the channel. The production and general quality of this video is fantastic.
Uh oh, Tyler hired a new filmer and editor! Can't get too high class on us.
I prefer the old style, without background music and simple cameras, it makes it feel more real, more spontaneous. This new style feels more like an episode of Car Trek, which is only good for Car Trek.
Can’t say I’m a fan of the new editing.
I may be in the minority, but I love the styling. I can’t wait to see this thing running like it should.
Oh man! When you guys were hitting those bumps and bouncing around it made me laugh so much! Please keep going Hoovie!
So nice to get an extra video of the Car Ninja! He doesn't put out enough content for us viewers! And his personality is starting to show a little bit, not so camera shy.
I know some people appreciate the new camera work and style, but I don't like it. I loved your old style as it felt more sincere and genuine, as opposed to the almost "reality TV car show" vibe I'm getting now. I will still watch your videos and support you, I'm just providing some feedback.
This thing is an absolute looker compared to anything released post 2018-19
I appreciate the effort and the result but to be honest I prefer the original hoovie production videos..it gave that extra "dumb" feeling that I simply loved..😅😅
These are not ugly. Idk what they’re talking about. Best looking suv of the mid 2000’s
I really didn’t like the design of this car when it first came out. However, compared to current BMW designs and recent cars designs in general, I can’t believe that I think it’s beautiful.
This vehicle was actually a very controversial release from bmw in 2008, and with that said they sold out so good even Mercedes’ copied the outfit with the gle, whoever owned this one dropped the suspension, and ruined it, but this is actually a good looking vehicle.
Give it to your soon-to-be-ex wife as a goodbye gift
Not a fan of the background music
