I knew the miss was due to ignition coils... For future reference, if you have a misfire on cylinder 1, clear the DTC and swap the coil to another cylinder that had no misfire, then rescan and check if misfire DTC moves cylinder also.
If the young kids of our country was doing “crime” as much as some would want you to believe like 40 percent of our population would be doing “crimes” . Haha 🤦♀ unrealistic
Flipping cars is a money maker, but don't recommend buying bmw, volkswagen, audi, mini cooper, Mercedes when starting that business, they are money pit and headache.
no VW is actually really good at least the bit older ones. Here in europe you have junkyards full of bmws etc... Better to flip the first car with costmetic issues first anyway mechanical issues or rust is always a big headache!
This was a good and informative video. I currently don’t have a car at all but I was thinking of buying one or building one on my own and came across your channel and gave me a new perspective of building cars!!!
Glad you enjoyed the video! You can learn a lot from fixing a car yourself, but also have to think about how reliable (in my case) would a $100 bmw be for a daily driver. Also do you have the time to fix the car up or are u working 40+ hrs a week
new sub from nyc. great to see you young man making an honest living. you're not out causing crimes or bringing the wrong attention to yourself. keep up the great content my friend.
I have gotten into arguments with people online that BMWs are reliable cars. A toyota or honda with similar age and mileage would not have a fraction of the problems.
If you get a BMW with a straight 6, and no-air suspension you stand a better chance at reliability. The 2008 era BMWs with the starter under the intake seem like a nightmare though.
Bro I'm digging the vids and watched both but can I pls pls pls just ask that you wear gloves when touching half that crap. Just get like a 500 pack of those thin ones so grabbing things is still easy but pls wear gloves!
Some times you have to call a loss for your time because time is money. More better time on an easy flip will get you far. Stick to what you know. And I’ve heard a BMW isn’t easy to work on. Tip just take carpet and seats out and power wash them at the local car wash let sun dry.
@@2flocks I stick to 4cylinders easy head job if worst case scenario or just swap a motor within a day. And I’m sure you have bmw window motors down by now. Great work great channel👍🏽
I think it's awesome what you're doing. I have been doing that as a hobby for the last 40 years and you learn a lot of things as you go. You'll learn which vehicles are going to make you the most money and which ones are going to cost you and those may not be worth messing with unless you can get them for free. Just keep ambitious and keep learning and you'll do just fine. I have lived in the midwest my whole life and I find that I do best with four wheel drive Chevy trucks and I also sell a lot of used motorcycles.
Mucho Macho mi amigo ! The seats are normally all torn up with any BMW with over 100k so you hit the interior jackpot ! Dash lights up like a christmas tree but that's all part of of the cheap puzzle that will pay out in spades on some of these rebuilds . Keep up the good work and keep on truck in 😊
A parts cannon can sink profits quickly when trying to flip cars. Been there, done that. Also, be cognizant of your state's law on selling cars. In the state I'm in, you are only allowed to private sell 5 cars a year. Some states even require that you register and pay sales tax on them before reselling them. Buying a car and then reselling it without first putting it in your name (essentially making it look like a sale between the person you bought it from and the person you are selling it to) can be considered a form of tax evasion since you aren't a dealer. Again, all depends on state laws. Just warning you since you are putting what you are doing on a public forum for anyone to see.
A messed up title is easy to get a duplicate of there's also the option of a bonded title as well depending on what state you're in. I think I would have did things the opposite way and put all the aftermarket parts on the one with the Screwed Up title because the engine might be in better condition. Just my opinion from my own personal experience
What happened with the BMW? I dont understand why you'd assume people follow you on instagram... probably 5% of your viewers follow you on instagram if that
Back in my car flipping days. I stayed away from the German cars. Low resale, custom tools, expensive to fix. I make a lot on the GMs. Trucks are always good sellers, Grandams, Buick Century and Older Honda Civics 2000-2005. Most parts would come from my local Pick a Part. Good on you for trying. Now Chose better.
When I saw BMW I was like "yikes" that's a money pit but you pulled some serious cash on that one... Flipping for a couple hundred bucks used to be the thing...
I think the real win was getting the car for such a great price. With more time to fix it up, I could’ve definitely made more, but overall, I’m happy with the profit. I might consider another BMW in the future-wish me luck!
Hey! Bummer about being laid off from your job but I’m pretty sure I let you help me when I was there in 2023. We always joked about cars and I’m wishing you the very best on your latest endeavor. Any chance you will be working on older motorcycles?😊
Macho Motors i was just thinking that you should buy a scrap car business, there is money to be made from not only old cars but car parts too they are like gold dust.?
Curious as to why you'd fix up the E46 instead of fixing up the "parts car". The E46 seems pretty trashed. So, you made more on the parts car than the one you got running.
@@agomodern Great question! Unfortunately the parts car title was messed up and wasn’t possible getting a new one. So not much I can really profit from without parting out.
@@Macho.motors What makes you think you couldn't get a new title? Seriously, I did title clerk work for YEARS. I assure you that you can always get a new title. The person can sign their name wrong.. they can put it in the wrong spot. They can put it on the wrong side.. I've seen all kinds of stupid stuff. You can always get the title fixed.
a bimmer? your trying to flip a bimmer? I noticed that TH-cam has this sudden proliferation of bimmer flipping videos... I watched a video of a guy replacing a hose and a seat cover- and flipping it. Everyone knows its such a Crock. ...And other Works of Fiction!
I’m in a similar situation I got a ‘07 Corolla bought used in ‘11 with 30k miles on it. Now I got 235k on it and I’m about to put $5-$7k into it so I can get another 200k mikes rather than buying a used truck for 30-40k which is ridiculous af to me.
@@RegenAutomotive Already have! I watched your Acadia a while back. I don’t think I would ever do the work to take the power steering rack out like you did haha. Great job!
@@Macho.motors hahaha sweet. Thanks for watching! Honestly, after that car, I have been looking for ones with less work. That was a lot for one vehicle lol
How about a Toyota? Easy to work on - I have a `99 Camry V6 5speed with 400K miles on it - easy to maintain - easy to fix - no rust - no leaks - Arizona Car - Runs like new - Repairs are so easy

I'm no expert, but I've noticed that dealers always seem to come up with some way to fix a broken title. I'd at least attempt to contact the last owner of that BMW and see if they're willing sign the title again. You may have other alternative fixes available, one of which being through filing a lost title claim. Your county clerk might help smooth the wheels for you once you get to know them.

Good job. Have you considered getting a dealer’s license? I think you could really move somewhere else inventory.
You made profits that's all that matters congratulations
Damn good job!!! I'm surprised you got that much!!
glad you give price's nobody does that very cool

BMW - Broke My Wallet
Misfire is most likely caused by bad coil packs
as a rule of thumb of a real BMW owner. Bmw owner is excited two times in life ( when he buys hie bmw and second time when he sells it))
