Thanks for watching! :-)
After all the work and cash that you’ve spent on it I’d keep it. I’ve had an
E46 M3 CS for 17 years and put 140k miles on it. Had the odd year where several things go wrong with big
£££ bills, but you get through those bad periods and enjoy it again. There’s so many more good days than bad : keep it & enjoy it👍🏼
Same everything went at same time. Fuel pump water pump power steering etc coolant leaks, almost got rid but glad I sorted it all out.
Keep it for now mate. Why spend all that cash getting it sorted for somebody else to enjoy. You'll never get all of the money you've invested back anyhow.
You know this is the exact thought process I have with my 135i. I have put so much time, money and effort into why should I sell just for someone else to enjoy.
@@carcrazyguysa4059because your second bill is coming soon 🤣
The term investment I take it was used loosely as a figure of speech 🎤 cars are liabilities it takes money away from your pocket, generally cars are dreadful way of hedging your money due to maintenance, fuelling and tax. As petrol heads drive but expect to lose money.
@@callousjail447games4 Second bill...bruh theres a bill every few days😅
True that
If anything sort the front end out, those number plate holes are shocking lol
Sold mine for as you say, stupid costs. Which were exactly what i expected and calculated before buying, but it just wasnt worth the money. I never really enjoyed mine. Glad i owned one but stock they are flawed. I think a clubsport build might be fun. But its still a costly machine. So heavy and insulated.
Thankyou, i had one, ppl hear it and want one but dont realise that noise costs alot of money. Stock it is overated the engine dominates and it just gets boring to drive you end up tip towing around it. The car is a overated money pit.
Life is short! Enjoy the car! I have 2011 BMW E90 M3 with 124k miles! I bought it at 120k miles on an impulse buy. The amount of smiles that the car has given me. Priceless.
I had mine 3 years and it’s been an absolute dream. All ready had about 6-7k spent on her. But that’s carbon fibre, Rod bearings and other preventatives. All I can say is don’t buy a car you can’t afford… stick to ur PCP m4s 😂 this car looks the best, sounds the best and is one of the best
Thank you for documenting all this I’ve been tempted to sell my M2 and go for an E92 many times, i still think about it.
But after watching this I realised there is no way I could afford to maintain one 😮
Keep the M2 buddy
Nail it the e92 ! if not you will keep on dreaming for it the rest of your life . 🤣
@@Sarawak_KolomeeI agree better to scratch the itch. You only live once and you can always earn money
Buy a mint low mileage example and you will not have any of these issues. I haven't in 3 years. They are extremely reliable generally, most of this is wear and tear, the same with any old car.
@@ben2155that’s not true, you’ve just been lucky with yours
I’ve just spent £20k on my 996. I was going to sell it but thought why not enjoy it. Now I’m keeping it.
Those holes in the front number plate recess are setting my OCD off 😂
I make common problem videos for BMWs to help prevent people having to spend ££££ on them.. Well worth watching them before you buy a car!
I have a x5 40d..3.0 twin turbo sttaight six.. Rocker cover gasket was leaking. Was quoted 700 quid for new gasket fitted. Did it myself for 35 quid plus injection puller off amazon
I just got my rack rebuilt- they can rebuild any rack no matter the issue. £300. My labour was £170Funny you mention quarry motors. I bought a power steering pump from them for my M3 and they sent me the wrong pump then wouldn't let me return it. Not a good company
Where would you recommend for the rebuild?
@@Mochachinoexfk there's a place in ossett/Wakefield. SCS or something
What you did:
- turn the Golf R into a track car and drove the M3 daily
What you should have done:
- drove the Golf R daily and turned the M3 into a race car
Could you get any more number plate holes in your front bumper?
Awesome car but I'm in a position where the money spent on it would kill my love for it after a while
Mate - jack it up and do it yourself = yep same with Focus RS mk 1 - the one thing available from ford and its £1200 lol - you can fully poly bush front back and get a decent rack for all that money - and the satisfaction of doing it yourself - you CAN do it mate !!!!
Keep it OEM+ or do a clubsport build (that’s still nice to drive on the road) and save it for special occasions so running costs will be less of a worry and you’ll appreciate driving it more. Sell the A45 and get a reliable daily on the cheaper end that you can still make content on
This is my first visit to your page. Don’t sell it , the E92/93 or a nice looking cars and they will look nice in years to come. I will shear this , I own a E93 , during lockdown I decided I would use the time to sort my E93 out. I spent approximately £4000 on parts. I changed all the injectors, coil packs, lambda sensors, Nitro sensor, MAF sensor, EGR valve, Rocker cover, repair the Alternator and replaced Belt and Pulley, front whee bearings, replaced electric windows main control switch. Now what started this when it went in for its MOT the garage said the management light was coming and indicated the fuel pump was the problem, i give the Ok and they replaced it all was ok. Few miles later the problem return after several visits the still couldn’t resolve the problem. Covid 19 came.. Lockdown. Hence, I systematically went through everything I know that would likely to fail due to the mileage ( 80000) . It has performed beautifully since then. I am reluctant to part with this motor. I don’t drive it the winter that often. So don’t sell yours if you don’t have to .. in years to come they will be the model that many people will be wanting to own. Good luck.
I think get rid as it’s becoming a money pit tbh! Sounds amazing but I just think it’s time for something else
Keep it send it. Crazy to spend all that money for someone else to enjoy.
Lovely car mate at least it's all fixed now. There's aren't many cars without their problems. A nice little touch to mine was to retrim the steering wheel and the roof lining, just a idea. 👌
Sounds like something that would stop a BMW. I have a turbo R32 Mark 4 and BMs are just too damn much to maintain. Great looking cars especially the e36. Any leak however small , especially something simple like a ps reservoir should b fixed immediately as you found out.
Great cat and video. It makes me happy with what I spend. It would be financial suicide for me to run one of these and there is more to life than a flash car you are to afraid to use properly.
What car do you have?
As everyone has said you've spent so much on it so hopefully sorted for you. One thing though. That front bumper 🙈 I think a normal number plate would look better than those holes drilled 🫣
I bet Mummy was not happy paying this bill for you…
No bitty for a while
Haterrrrrrrr Why have kids if you can’t support them? If you can’t, They end up like you, attacking randoms online for having what you want 😵
that kind of car , is not build for long term use, you have basically taxi milage on it, no surprise things going wrong XD
If you bought a new car you would have spent that on finance payments and depreciation. Either way nice cars will cost you money unless you are the 1% who can buy £xxxk cars as "Investments". Just keep it and get the enjoyment out of it. I Daily the same car as you but with a manual box, it's expensive but every drive is an event :)
Tbh surprised you haven’t gone for a manual because I bet the auto boxes on these are ££ to fix when they go pear .
Noticing a theme with old BMWs....reliability issues & expensive to fix
Definitely keep it mate, you clearly enjoy the car and yes it’s been a pain in the arse but that’s what having a passion for cars is about. If not we’d all be driving round in a Honda jazz! You’ve got it right now so just enjoy it and finish what you want to do with the car and have the full experience. 👍
I was luck enough to just have the throttle actuators problem, with my M3. I now have an RS3 and it's draining me of money.
I wouldn’t sell now. Especially with most brands stopping V8 production. This car will do nothing but appreciate. I will be hanging on to mine but it’s not my daily
Not incessantly giggling so much in this one are you! 😂😂 I however, was laughing like **** 🤣🤣 fingers crossed something else goes wrong and it costs you even more! 🤞😂 Well done dodging the bee like a little girl though 😂😂
What an odd comment to make
U should ask the other guy with a high mileage M from your video why his M is so reliable….
Beast of a car but deep pockets needed to run one
its the thing ppl dont see, they hear the noise and think that noise costs alot of money
E39 m5 buddy pure nostalgia
You have had a very costly experience. Honestly mine has only needed the typical preventatives RB's, TA's etc. I will admit, I'm always nervous something big will go wrong. But if I were you, just keep it. You will miss it.
Rear spoiler looks like a perfect cross between OEM and performance....anyone know what it's called?
Send it !
Put a ESS supercharger kit on it
They are too slow and getting on a bit now, time to fix and let Go.
Non M rack? Why even put it in; are the ratios lock to lock not different like every other generation?
People saying keep it because you’ve spent the money, yes if you were not a TH-camr that would be the answer but the car has to make sense for the channel too. Personally I would get rid while it’s on a attractive mileage still, it’s had all the typical jobs done plus extra mods/bits which make it a 10/10 example. If the car covered it’s own costs in content then yes keep but I doubt it does. Unless you plan on turning it into some supercharged monster?
Hey mate going back to where you had water ingress in you Ecu just had the same issue...drainage channels completely block...got Ecu dried out everything all good and the garage made a new drainage system so it won't happen again....
now this car is a serious beast!!!! the exhaust sound is AMAZING. and the speed? damn it's super fast!!!! Definitely keep it man
What would you buy to replace it?
I mean there just isn’t a comparable replacement for it within the same pricerange
Silly question…if the racks electric why is there a pump and fluid aswell?
Keep it they’re too good 🙌🙌
imagine selling the M3 and A45s for a M3 touring , damn that be a different level
I don't know what you expect from using a v8 m3 as a daily. This should of been the track car and golf the daily. This would of been a brilliant track car. Its all you see at the ring. Gt3,s and m3 s.
It might be expensive, but it's such an awesome car 👌
Keep the m3 for weekends and get yourself a cheap reliable daily, ideally Japanese
Mate keep it. Long term its better for u. Also its a modern classic!!!!
If you do sell imo if you still wanted a m car having had a few myself definitely consider a m2 og. Had a m4, m2 comp and a og definitely best for the money and I never had an issues with the n55!
Did you sell the comp and get the og M2 in its place? Wondering how the comp compares to the og.
Cost over genuine enjoyment? Let it go , you’ve owned it , you’ve run it , unless you plan to get rid of all inc you merc A45 , golf etc to offset that m3 ? I’d say get rid of it !
That BMW ROCK SOLID reliability eh 😂
BMW reliability is the inline 6 engine. If you want a V8 or V10 from any brand, you're going to be forking out decent amounts of cash every few months.
@@1993j It was an ironic comment BMW "reliability" is beyond shyte. And I'm not talking about engines this V8 is absolutely fine it's the ancillaries that fart about on BMW's and strangely the fixes are routinely £1,500 👀
@@1993j AMG V8 is reliable.
ESS supercharger and Eisenmann exhaust that’s what I’d love to have done to mine. Keep up with the great content!
FYI: these M3 are horrendous for steering issues. Racks. Pumps. Leaks. High failure rate
What? Never heard that before, where did you hear that from?
@@Assimilator1 a number of places. I've been told they mainly suspect with track use. The racks break apart so do pumps.
Yeah its true. My pump just went on track. They cant handle the heat.@@DaleSteel
Also had rack problems on mine. Common.
@@ScottPC I'm pretty certain it's not common, apart from not having read about rack failures before, I also work at a BMW dealer, and haven't seen this before. Although I've only been there several months, I'll ask the more experienced techs there to see what they say.
How many track days have you done btw?
I've done just 4 so far, so far no steering problems.
Send it man, You'll regret it.
Wish I could own an M3. Buying one no problem. Genreal maintenance OK. But not the constant headaches. I drive IS250.
Reliability improved significantly in the F80 generation.
Love love love this car!!!
Keep it because you won’t buy another one. It a little cheaper car as a daily. And only use it weekends that’s what I do Toyota Yaris my weekly runner
Sort out front number plate holes and keep it.
C63 W204 facelift with performance pack, far more reliable, more torque, better sound, also can be bought as an estate.
no😊
Like everyone else. Keep it. Why spend loads for the next person to love it
Just get rid of the money pit
Nope oem rack only. Why risk it to have to possibly deal with it again = x2 work and £
It’s a BMW.. there’s nothing more to say than that really 😅
Still one of the best sounding M3 of all time. Definitely keep it.
Does he say how much he spent on it?
Keep it mate.
Stick with it!! You've spent so much, and now it's good for years to come. What else could give such a buzz? Very little around this price bracket
Do you really want to get a C63 Merc to replace the M3?, come to your senses mate as you've experienced these are MAJOR money pits both are and will bleed you dry.
Keep it
Keep the M3 but you need a different daily. The A45s would be a better daily than this
I think its time for the m3 to go now 🖐
If you wanna drive MPower you need to pay! ;-)
Get rid of it, Luke... #MoneyPit
literally no reason for you to daily this when you have a golf or something as a track car. Its really really stupid, deserve the bills
BMW is an Acronym for "BIG MONEY WORRIES". Ditch this thing while you still can and save us from another "I should have listened" video. If you keep it? Have a greet and meet somewhere and we will all line up to kick you in the balls, would be less painful than keeping this money pit haha🙄
I BOUGHT A EVO 8 mr 340 all I have done is spend spend spend joke older cars are money pits but a lot more fun
I would update the rear lights to the face lift lci and also the competition m359 wheels
Throw an ESS supercharger kit on it and be done with it.
Great video, it’s a very unique car that’s not going down in value anytime soon if not going up in value.
Keep it OEM + for the purists and see how you feel in the spring.
Looking at other TH-cam channels there seems more people are sorting after these models :) good luck
Thank you
I swear, if this is another one of your clickbait titles, I'm unsubscribing 0:40
Look forward to seeing it supercharged
Black wheel's on cars should be made illegal , they are ugly , on all cars ! no excuse
These are grey 👀
M3 GTS spec, with an orange wrap or a homage to the M140i wrap
Think it needs a cheeky supercharger before you sell it its an absolute animal
What about a supercharger upgrade?
Off the topic of the M3 - what watch are you wearing?
Oh and supercharge it - turbos lose some of the great sound from that V8
as you said, you've put a few quid into it now. It would be a shame to sell it, does it make sense to sort all these issues for someone else to enjoy?
Keep and supercharge! 🔥🔥🔥
First thing you can do is sort out the paint on it and the bmw badge at the rear. It bugs the 💩 out of me lol, and definitely some new rims!!!
keep it, you done everything to it.
What's your favourite car you owned so far
As you’ve said it will never be repeated. A V8 never to be seen again! Either dramatically reduce your mileage, and cherish it, or let it go. That’s the only way ahead.
Don't get rid of it.. SEND IT!!
ill swap you a honda s2000 for it 👀
Have you ever thought about learning how cars work with spanners and stuff instead of talking forever and paying people bucket loads to fix every little problem?
