Hello Sir, I'd like to know your thoughts on the 2018 chevy Silverado and what model you think is the best
"So the car starts without the key..." LOL - Even though you need the key.
Can we get some info on Mods like the integrated Dash, phone, applecar play please? Also, carbon fiber. Thank you.
Hey Scotty Kilmer, my grandpa parks his car in the driveway. It’s inclined a bit and I’ve been telling him to put the parking brake on. He doesn’t believe me that it would do any harm to the transmission. What would happen to the life of the automatic transmission if he keeps doing this over time? And on average how much does it cost to fix a transmission?
where can i buy these headlights
I'm not a BMW fan, but I very much applaud and appreciate young gear heads taking pride in their first car and fixing them up & learning.
Tbh if you get a good mechanic bmw isn’t that bad at all. Maybe I got lucky with my model
I love bmws
This particular model of BMW is pretty bulletproof honestly.
@@dee_2330 The N55? I didn't watch. If so, yeah.
@@Anthony-qh1xv N52 engine.
This dude absolutely cleaned out Pep Boys...
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ......
I laughed at this more than I should have😅🤣🤣🤣
LMFAO !!!!!!!!!!!!!
and ebay
😂😂😂😂
The young man has put a lot of thought into his ride, and unlike some of us whose hobbies are indoors, he gets to share his with the world. Good on you, sir! Financially, it doesn't make a lot sense to own and repair a used BMW, but what financial sense does it make to play golf or go fishing? Hobbies are hobbies. Kudos to Mr. Kilmer for featuring this video!
Do you know anything about cost of ownership associated with the n52 motor and the e90 platform? It would appear not. Plenty of examples out there with 200+k. This motor, especially the run after his model pre-lci, is a gem.
If you’re ok with a corolla, get one.
If you prefer enjoying your motoring youth and having some fun, what this kids doing makes total sense, except it’s a shame it’s not a manual.
He’ll grow out of the m striping grille phase...hopefully
And yes, I have a 3 series 🤣
@@akronorka The car is nice, but it is an automatic, whats the point of having a 2.8 motor when you have an automatic
You sound like you're in Denial
@@lvboy8683 Probably because there is more Auto's around or it's his daily driver...
bmw e90 are probably the cheapest and most basic bmw to own, only issues i've heard of is the water pump and thermostat, maybe alternator but other than that these cars have a good drivetrain
This guy is obviously proud of his car, but please lose the M badging. Don't be one of those guys.
Can I put M badges on my Corolla?
@@RCproject18
Yes, and then put your Corolla badge on some guy's M3
@@dhalsim-1 my Corolla is an s so he won't know
BMW sells an M package. The package comes with “lonely M” badges (no accompanying number) as an option on non-M cars. My ex had that on the 2011 535i she bought new at the dealer.
Where did you see M badge?)))) if you’re talking about the stripes you have nothing to do with the M series. You can buy it on eBay for $5. The real M series don’t have them. 🤷♂️
+5hp for each ebay mod and ///M badge.
bennyg I’ll smoke your Honda bro. German engineering. (Sarcasm)
dash captures of Vermont That’s nothing, I had a Geo Metro and I put a sticker on it and it turned into Ferrari 458
i own a e46 m3 and look down on ppl who use the m3 colors on the grill that don;t own a M car, don;t get me started on the eBay Mods
Lmao honestly. The type of guy who flies 100 down the highway to show off how douchey he is.
Is there more M badges on the car than an actual M model??!
stop putting M badges on a non M car
yes,,, agree
Non M cars have factory M emblems duh
kmac7863 big dreams
Personally imo do whatever you want with your money, but me personally if I was gong to do something like that, i'd be strictly interior related and not exterior.
Exterior is a proud badge to signal or showoff to others, how embarrassing would it be to have someone ask you how fast your M is and it turns out slow lol
@@inc6436 Only cars with M-sport options.
I respect him for being so excited about his car. I dig it, and I hope he enjoys it for many more years to come.
That's the best aftermarket screen in I've seen for a BMW. It blends right in the interior.
Ness Rosenbrad i need a link😅
Ness Rosenbrad where can I get one?
What type of afm screen is it and what size is it. Where can i buy one for my 328i 2011-E90? Thxu.
@@trsking its called an Avin E90. need a carplay adapter too. bluetooth music controls from steering wheel, backup camera viewer, but reduction of sound quality by slight hiss at lower volumes, not noticible at higher volumes (most the time). But honestly i haven't been noticing it with carplay only the avin bluetooth pai.
My hat’s off to Scotty for letting a BMW owner showcase his ride. 🤙👍👌🤘👏
All fun n' games till it breaks! :) love the owners enthusiasm though, glad he likes his car!
@@volvo09 I mean project car bro breaking is part of the learnign curve lol
Right??? 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
Sweet car!
Both my bmws have been perfect. Actually more reliable then both my previouse nissans
A car is only as reliable as you maintain it and how you drive it. This young man seems to be pretty meticulous.
I agree. Has he spent a decent sum of money maintaining and upgrading a vehicle that has minimal monetary value? Yes. However, that's precisely what many automotive enthusiasts enjoy doing! It's a hobby, not an investment strategy, people!
Cant agree less. Cars shouldnt have to be maintained to such a degree that more time is spent keeping it together than driving it. Love my car that never breaks down. Hated my other car that always broke down. You must like high maintenance gold digger women too
@@tomster7574 Why is using higher quality oil and parts counts as "shouldnt have to be maintained to such a degree"??? If you dont want luxury then drive a shitbox, but most people dont mind to spend money on their cars. It seems to be a repeating pattern here, with americans CONTINUOUSLY bitching about german cars, and half of these people never even drove one, let alone own one... Why is it that in europe these cars are loved by almost everybody and there are only a small number of them going wrong and a small number of people complaining?
@@waifuracer6516 I owned a BMW in the UK as have my friends. They're money pits. Each part costs an arm & a leg. The only way they keep them is by doing shortcuts & ignoring things.
I had a VW as my first car, check engine light always came on no matter what really. I was relatively broke so that could be why the vehicle was always having issues.
People in this comment section are the reason the car community is so toxic
on god
On Jah
On Jah
Who says the car community is so toxic? It's more a commentary on the type of people who comment on YT. Check the view to comment ratio. There's more good than bad in the car community. YT comments don't reflect the actual attitudes.
People are the why reason everything is toxic
Thank you for giving me a chance to showcase my car Scotty. I'm looking forward to some more of your DIY car repair videos because she's 11 years old now. I always laugh when you make that grunt to emphasize that you've tightened a bolt 😂. More detailed video: @
the custom rgb lighting wasn't shown, the subwoofer wasn't shown (and underseat woofers), the door BMW logo ground projectors weren't shown, the RGB light up stripe wasn't shown (scotty cut the video).
To answer some questions I saw in the comments:
- the head unit is by Avin: PX5804GB32-E90
- the exhaust cutout is by EvilEnergy: 2325H
Some further details:
- I plan to redo the interior carbon fiber wrap when I replace a broken side panel trim piece
- This car pulls sound from head unit to feed to an amp that powers a JL subwoofer in the trunk in a ported enclosure. The existing tweeters have been modified with capacitors to increase clarity.
- There are also 2 Pioneer 10" subwoofers installed under each seat
- the amp is by rocksford fosgate
- The kidney grille tri-color logo was an experiment I created with neon light tubes inside plastic clips that resemble the color of the bmw M logo, it is meant to be controlled by a remote relay, but since the plastic is brittle, and the clips are visible from the sides of the grille, I will probably remove it.
- The m performance sticker on the dash is actually positioned improperly and doesn't look great and I pealed it off.
- The keyfob allows you to roll down all the windows, but you must physically insert the key into the door and turn it to close all the windows and the sun roof.
- the backup camera is concealed in one of the rear licence plate illuminating LEDs and previously failed. I used some waterproofing to help ensure that it wouldn't happen again.
Lmao I love this car
Do you still have it?
@@JoeTricep yes!
@@spicyshizz2850 thank you! I love it too lol
Dude I just checked out your channel, do you still play HOTS?? I've been a regular player since long before 2.0!!
Rev up your cars that aren't a 94 celica with 260k miles!
John S-----Just wondering----Would anyone ever send in a 1990s Celica video with over 250,000 miles and tell us the great features of the car ?? Just Wondering ??
You been driving around 260 k in junkyard car 😂
@@tomburke1687 yes! that would be good

My bmw turned me into a poor person, aint gonna lie.
audi a6 2.7tt did the same to me
Sameee
My Citroen Saxo is turning me into a rich person.
Lexus ISF doing the same to me rn... I'll get a Corolla next time smh
@@my2moneypits What's wrong with your ISF?
George you are very intelligent and inspiring, think all the upgrades are awesome ...i am proud of you keep up the great work , God bless you! and thanks for sharing, you are the MAN!
New Me I need you in my comments seems like everyone else is negative 😭😂
I've never owned a bmw but have always liked this car. I really like how he wrapped the wood trim inside. makes it look so much better
jeeez dude take these M stripes off the grill if its not M
Mar3K1996 im not a bmw fan either but i 100% agree with that if its not a M or M trim shouldnt have M stripes
Agreed, plus you can still see the 328i badge stains on the rear!
Mar3K1996 reminds me of all the fake SS Silverados lol. Just slap a badge on and act like you got something special.
Isn't that a BMW Motorsport thing that can actually be on certain non M cars from the factory with the M sport package? I know he added it but I think its more of a tribute to BMW Motorsports and giving it a cool look rather than pretending it's an M3. At least he isn't putting on M badges.
@@shaunskii imo putting m stripes is same as putting m badge
I'd love to drive one, but owning and repairing one - no thanks.
combatjumpmaster89 and thats just it...even preventative maintenance will only LESSEN the hurt a little bit...but driving it is so fun i caint justifiably sell it🤷🏾♂️
SLIP AWAY!!!
@@towfer374 Lower comment has the right of way!
@@Mr.Wthe1 It does look like a lot of fun to drive, but just the rear of the engine under the cowl sends my back into spasms!
that's why I never bought one
328i,325i and 330i are the more reliable E90 3 series to own. The 335i and 335is are always prone for more frequent maintenance because they come with turbos, plastic water pumps and had recalls for their oil pump. I know someone with a 2008 335i and he replaces the water pump and some other parts every 20k miles.
But they’re not bad cars if you aren’t lazy to research in TH-cam and Bimmerforums, shop at Pelican Parts or ECS tuning, have some kind of passion in ghe brand and do most of the maintenance on your own, plus an access to a garage with the necessary tools.
I think the best BMWs to own are the non-turbo ones and ones with less electronic options added into it such as electronically adjustable suspension.
I can attest to this, my e90 has been a pleasure to own for the last four years, and I purchased it for about 10k. Just made sure to cherry pick one that was cared for. The inline 6 is a real gem, sure beats every Japanese 4 cylinder I’ve owned (5).
Fcpeuro
My electric OEM VDO pump lasted 110k miles
@@akronorka mine has 196k bought it at 185k. All I’ve done is electric water pump, thermostat, coolant reservoir, spark plugs oil, filters, vaccum lines and other basic service. Great car and I really only had to do the water pump but I’m a good owner
Im so glad for this dude he seems so happy about his car and what he’s put into his car

That's just how long it takes to remove the crankshaft bolt on my Honda.
@@anti0918 high power air compressor & air gun.
@@lukey3507 I'm up in the snowbelt. The airgun didn't do anything. I even tried the thick socket Lisle made for the Honda bolt. I had to use a torch and a breaker bar with an 8 ft extension, and put all my weight on it.
@@anti0918 You probably didn't have a high powered one. Air guns are rated to what pressure they can go up to. You need a high powered compressor to go with it though.
@@GuiltyNoticer He is customizing it, so your response is void
I’m so glad my uncle is a mechanic that specializes in BMW my cars all set
Nice Bimmer! BMW has always been my dream car since I drove a 2002 520i 5 speed in Germany. That car with a small 2.2 liter 6 cylinder would cruise effortlessly at 130 mph (210 kph) on the autobahn while giving the impression of only going 70 mph. The brakes and handling were the best I've ever experienced, simply awesome. I then knew why they called it the Ultimate Driving Machine. But over the years my opinion of BMW has changed. It seems they're now more interested in electrical gadgets and with Scotty saying they're money pits. But if I lived in Germany where repairs wouldn't be so expensive I'd love to give one a try.
Love this channel Scotty. Keep it up 💯🔥
He’s just a kid dude I was laughing as well but he’s young man let him live
I think its great to see him so passionate about his car! Let's just hope he can afford to keep the thing running. Had a friend and she bought a used BMW sorta like his. She was a college student like me and wasn't rich (like me). It was her dream car, I warned her it would bankrupt her but she said with her new job after graduating she'd be fine. She ended up selling not 6 months later, as it was totally draining her bank account!
Eh, who cares if he has an M badge on a non M version. it makes him happy.
fatalradius bruh
I want to put a hellcat badge on my v6 charger
I don’t know man, if they’re M parts, makes it justified.
You dont understand.
They do make m sports package for bmw yall obviously have never been to a bmw dealer half the cars on the lot have m rims, shift knobs, the pedals, and more soo...
He Riced a BMW , congratulations 🙌😂
AUTO LORD I did not even know you could do that
Shut up! Lmao, too funny😂😂💀
I always wondered who buys that crap on eBay.
The only thing that was rice was the carbon fiber wrap with the M logo on it everything else was not rice sorry bud
Yes he did few things are okay but he went too far
yoooooo i’ve own 3 series for 3 years now and i never knew the turn on turn off without key haha. thanks for that nice plug 🔌
I rev up my 2012 128i all the time. Runs like a dream. Beautiful inline six making sweet music when I lower the boom 💋
Still looks good. There are so many mods for BMWs especially the 3 Series. I have a 2013 328i , and only had minor issues so far...some may disagree but it’s actually a great car.
I think many may agree that they are actually great cars! I just picked up a 2008 328xi manual, loving it so much already
Very clean! You can tell you love your car and take great care of it!
This kid did such a great job he blows away a lot of the car salesmen I have worked with In the past. I would almost trust hi as a mechanic as well
I’ve watched this review three times and it’s always as pleasant
Congrats on 2 million subscribers Scotty!
Says he's had it quite a while but he was probably 5 or 6 when the car came out lol
He could have inherited it from his parents
Think about your comment. If he was 5 or 6 when it came out, that means it held up well.. genius
Is the car equipped with turn signals? Are they functional? Does the driver know how to use them?
Scotty my level of respect just went up for you!
Ive got a 2008 328xi coupe 6 speed..... such a satisfying car to drive... what a well built car! I bought nothing but Fords for years... good God do i wish i discovered how amazing bmws are sooner!!
AntCo0607 give it time lmao, car will have issues soon 😂 especially for an 08
I have the same car but a sedan. 2 years and no issues.
The cabin air filter housing takes 2 minutes to take out bro, just 8 8mm screws and pop off 2 end caps and you're done.
As an owner of a 2004 545i with the V8 engine, ive only had to do normal maintenance, of course the idrive has bothered but only for tiny things such as a new air filter and maf sensor cleaning. Best car ive ever owned the engine still pulls strong and super fun to drive and own.
Your the best Scotty!!! Greetings from Littleton Colorado 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
do a video about the easiest car you've ever worked on that broke alot and cheap to fix... thanks.
“Avoided 3 or 4 car crashes with this car” yep... bimmer driver Fosho 😬
I love owning and fixing them. Currently own a '98 M3 and '99 528i sport wagon. Plus a project '84 318i! Can't speak for the newer models.
BMW is a brotherhood we all take care of each other and don’t put each other down for enjoying the vehicle it’s bmw thing
These people bashing on the dude cause he has “M sport” badges on the car? Its probably for the looks, obviously. I own this model of the vehicle 328i and it’s a really fun fast car to drive. He’s saving $9-11k on the actual “M” model so at the end of the day he’s winning and people are hating!
I own a bmw 2005 and it’s still running beautiful I’ve changed bushings and clutch but it is at 130000 mile, it drives so nice and still pulls like a train, love this car and the design is iconic
Problems begin after 150k
@@sebastianromero420 i can attest to this. my dad has a 2003 330xi that he brought over with him when he was stationed in Germany, its somewhere in the ballpark of 160K-170K miles and its only just started having issues. nothing major however, hes always taken good care of it and done maintenance himself. last "major" issue it had was the exhaust flap getting stuck
scotty my man! love to see a car like mine out there
Very cool review man! Sweet ride!
Comment 13 .... rev up you BMW ... very carefully !! LOL
my bmw will pop rev limiter without breaking more times than whatever motor you have, but you can roll up your windows more times than i can😂
Aw crap.... it won't start and the engine warning light is on again.
Rev up your wallet! Tee hee hee
Lol everyone talking about bmw. Probably never drove one. Much less owned one. Both of mine have been perfect. I will never buy another car. 2014 535ix. Best car i have ever owned
The Inline 6 is a hellva lot easier to change spark plugs, ignition coils, and work on than a V-6 mounted sideways.
Drifter that’s what I was saying this kid doesn’t know
Exactly, this must be the only car he's worked on and thinks it's a dream to work on a v6
The back two plugs on this engine are a little hard to each. There’s a bunch of plastic parts you have to take off to access them. It’s not too difficult, just time consuming
Justin Buice 5 minutes ffs.
@@justinbuice I have the same exact engine +2 turbos, if you've taken the engine cover and air filter and cowl off before, it'll take you 2 minutes. All the same nut size. Some jobs are hard but the ease of jobs like plugs and coils, which are more frequent, makes it easier to own over time.
You are very intelligent and think all the upgrades are awesome ...i am proud of you keep up the great work , God bless you!
Great job on the video 👏
Thanks so much ♥
When you go directly from Honda Civic 2 Beamer and still have an addiction to your eBay account. All the M badges are making me sick
@ Scotty Kilmer. As an owner of a 335i (N54) this 328i looks just as good as mine without the costly maintenance of the twin turbos. Good job ! Finally a shoutout to the bimmer gang haha
Hi! Enjoying the uploads!
Hey this guy forgot to mention the constant oil leaks you get free of charge with a used BMW!
At 216,000 miles on my e39 Touring, I can attest at least 2 things, the BMW i6 is one of the best six cylinders mfg. and LEARN how to take care of it yourself!
Respectfully yours 😎🇩🇪🚙
The inline sixes get good mpg on the highway too
My 530i has around 220k and its confortable and very reliable. It handles good too
Agree
N52B in E86 Z4 Coupe makes it all worth while
Respect to you. Very good taste for mods .
Own a 335i with the N54. Stage 1 tune currently. They really aren't hard to work on. Mines been a blast.
Good lord. With all the mods that he's put into this car, he'd be halfway to owning an actual e90/e92 M3.
Not even close
There is nothing in an E92 M3 that is similar to the ordinary E90/92/93 3 series except the door panels and some interior panels.
what mods? A radio, cut out, and some carbon fiber wrap.
Rick Says I think he meant money invested, not necessarily the modifications the owner has done lol
Why would he get a m3 when he can get a 335i? Inline 6 turbo
Not the biggest fan of the e90 but man that one is 🔥🔥🔥
Love my 2009 BMW 335i 300hp twin turbo. The Ultimate Driving Machine. I have done just about every MOD this guy has done, 1 TH-cam video at a time. I love driving my car. $44,000 new, and I got mine from the original owner for $7000. Clean CarFax, never been wrecked, always serviced at the dealer. A pleasure to own and drive.
Love the build!
The m/n54 engine is relatively simple to work on. The electronics are a pain though. My 2005 e60 is mechanically sound for a 250k car. But the electronics are having issues.
How to: make a 328i look like a ricer
Exact thought I had in mind. The missing part was, bouncing off the rev limiter.
How to: mod your car the way you want to without caring about other peoples opinions
@@Ammut6 that's just ricer with more steps.
@@emaadkhan3031 makes no sense but ok 👌
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Very very nice. I learned some new stuff
Great job, the car looks fantastic.
Nice ride man, amazing work done. Rims look great, loved the cabin carbon fibre panaling concept and work done. Simply outstanding💕👌👍🏻
Owing one, if you're out of warranty and don't know how to maintain a car DO NOT get BMW.
But if you're good with minor repairs, that car will reward you with enjoyable driving experience!
Can you learn how to repair just by looking up online tutorials and such?
@@xGalasko yes! Thats how i learned to take care of mine. The 3 series has so many videos too
I LOVE what you did with the trim! Great idea.
But an automatic 😢
Nice looking ride! Strong work.
weight distribution of engine saved him from 3 accidents....LMAOOOO THIS MANS
Probably having the slow as balls N52 saved him more than he realizes.
Joe K he’s got a n51b30a actually even slower
Oh I remember my first car and all the 🍚 I put in it!
Great car. Nice video. Well done !
It's great seeing my car on Scotty kilmers channel 😀
I could understand if it was a 335i and it had a few Mperformance badges but to have a 328i with more M badges than an actual M sport car is just goofy😂😂
Stop hating
Juicy Js on wat tho...I gotta m4 nt a 328i wit M badges
That's why you stop at the OBD1 325is. It's like working on a Foxbody or a slightly more complicated but better built 240sx. *The OBD1 computer let's you do stupid things without making the car run bad*
Woah thats so weird I referrenced a Fox Body in another comment thread lol
Are the older 325s are more dependable? How about parts, expensive? I always like the look of those cars.
They have an OBD1 M3. I'd grab one of those instead.
@@edwaggonersr.7446 Mine has 250,000 miles on it, I drive it every day and it's solid as a rock. Parts are everywhere and cheap if you buy them on eBay and Amazon. M3's are too expensive for the same car with a different badge. I only paid $1,200 for my 325is.
The E36 is the one to get. My 318i saloon (sedan) was cheap to by and cheap to fix and I can fix it with my own 2 hands.
I've worked on an F30 so I reckon I can handle an E90.
1:54 LOL I have a 06 325i and didn't even know this existed😂 I guess I learn more than what school teach us🤣
Big Dreams, with the m badges.

BMW= Bad Machine on Wheels
I found your videos while searching how to repair videos for BMWs. I recently bought a 2009 BMW 528xi. I wish I had found your videos before I got it. I paid too much for the car at a Ford used car lot, then there was an intermittent trans slip that throws the car into limp mode. I’ve owned the car for 2 months and I’ve spent around 3k in repairs already. This is one time where I should have paid for a warranty! Nothing I did would fix the trans, and the mechanic suggested we change the transmission. BUT, on my way home I drove the van in manual mode, and nothing slipped! I’ve driven it this way for the last few days and no problems. I am still thinking about selling the car and eating the loss.😒
This guy is smart. He didn’t have to create a video, he does this so people send him videos and he gets paid for it. 👌🏼👌🏼 very nice
Why didnt you just rev it in park. Smh
LOWLOWS18 he probably smoked a L before shooting the video
Must think it's a stick
Most cars have a rev limiter in the parking gear at around 2-3k RPM.
Jon Noonfelt I’ve got the same car it dosent have rev limiter in park
Jon Noonfelt haha None do.
Sweet ride, nothing like having a stunning looking BMW and learning how to take care of it your self. Brings back old memories of my old 318i. BMW's just have a timeless beauty about them that just fills you will pride, not like some old ugly Toyota.
Scotty......I am 72 and the best car I ever owned was a used 1997 BMW Z3. I bought it in 2000 with 18K miles and sold it in 2012 with 232K miles. It got between 30-36 mph. It was never garaged and sat outside all year round including Pennsylvania winters. I was very meticulous with maintenance and washed and waxed it every week if the temperature was over 45 degrees. In the 12 years of ownership I replaced the brakes once, the top twice, the headlight assemblies once and replaced the clutch at 198K miles. The only reason I sold the Z was that I moved to Ecuador. I don't know what more one could ask from a vehicle.....Ed
I got my BMW Z4 a few years ago and I had no problems with it fuel pump broke a couple times... I daily drive also abuse it on the weekend, has over 200k miles :)
Anywhere I can reach this guy need some questions answered!!
That window keychain trick, my Honda Accord can do that as well lol
Don't be hating on that replica M series.
my golf does it too, i think alot of cars have it now
i like his visual mods, they honestly look great, but if i were getting a e90 3 series I would have to get the 335i, because the 328 is extremely slow, like 4 cylinder slow. I drove a friends and I honestly thought it was going to be alot quicker than what it was. but once again, great visual mods, theyre all tasteful
Normally I'm not a fan of mods. But, here there are a few interesting things. Especially when dealing with interior wear and tear and tilting of the mirrors to see the rim to curb distance. I just had the rims on my car re-finished...Wasn't cheap...That mirror feature could've saved me hundreds...
reminds me of Elliot Rodgers BMW lmao
I'll be sticking with my 1989 E34 with a 5spd. It has 289k miles on the original motor and transmission. I doubt these newer BMWs will ever see that. The dam thing even passed California emission standards lol.
Every time I take my E34 540i to my BMW mechanic (which is rarely, since I do oil services myself) he always has some bangle butt plasticky 2000s era E60 E66 or E90 sitting there he's bitching about what a POS it is and how much stuff breaks and how crazy expensive it is to fix, or is designed stupid.
This car showcase gotta to be the most enjoying to watch!.
Love the carbon fiber trim wrap, did the same thing! Looks great
