I believe the term is 'planned obsolescence'! It's all about creating demand for new cars every 5 years or so, as your current car/appliance will begin to fail on cue when the it's preset death date comes into effect!
@@masuphamolapo9560 planned obsolescence is a thing in the automotive world since the 1920's when GM started releasing new models every year. The thing is, cars are more complex now for a number of reasons. Safer, more powerful, more fuel efficient, lighter... That's the price we pay. It's just how it is. Also, at 2:55 you can clearly see why they put that one away to rot, with only 100k on the odometer. Planned obsolescence, you say?

I had an E28 M535i Hartge in a deep burgundy metallic. Absolutely fabulous car and never let me down. This brought back some great memories. Well done you! And you have THREE E28s!
Totally Impressed, Such a old car and still runs like a sports car. The Engine idle was so good. I am just amazed to see such a classic German Muscle car. Its a special BMW.
I had an 85 524td for many years. Put about 320k on it before I sold it. Had 400k on it before I lost track of it. Original engine and trans. I head gasket, several batteries and 1 starter. I miss that car .

thank you for this - had exactly that model - blue 524 td Sold with 450k kilometers on dash and seen it running for few years after. Bulletproof engine and great car
One guy found one of them and I bought one. 2 years later I got 2 of these in this video. Previous one was this - th-cam.com/video/kPOhCa2f_f8/w-d-xo.html

Hey I am new to your Channel i have subbed and liked the video.I have watched a few of your videos in the past few days and I am well impressed well done 👏 greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 😀
I owned one of these while living in Germany. Biggest problem is the cooling system. Notorious for leaking and overheating which results in a warped head. On the plus side I was in Germany and parts were available either at the parts store or at the local stripping yard. However, mine was gas and not diesel.
I find it very funny how you are so determined to not use any brake fluid to start the diesel cars :)) Although I do enjoy hearing engines slowly and gently coming back to life
This engine has a LOT of blow by and only 100k km's, the pistons and/or rings and cylinders are nearly done for. Needs huge repairs. Had to say this because everyone thinks this is the most incredible car...
My cousin had a 1984 528e Same as this but not diesel 5speed it ran great lots of good times with that car. I think it had 60 or 70k when he got it. Never needed any work but this was back in late 1995/1996 wish I can go back to those times
Now that car is worth something, definitely worth the restore! It's a shame growing up in the generation of declining quality in German cars, but then again, I guess that is all cars at this point.
In its day this would have been a nice car, engine runs well, maybe a little tired ( bit of blow by, but did it not have 428 000kms on it?? ) hope to see the other car running in the future, looks to me if Flexiny had not grabbed them they would have gone to the crusher, so good on him 👍👍

1987 that car is just as old as I am 34 years old and it looks like it’s in a good condition give it a wash inside out and it’s good as new
So, of all the cars you started over the years, which ones did you keep? I saw that Passat wagon back there
Cool videos of the E28 and also cool to see the E34 Models in the background.
What a beauty 🔥

Love this! Mine 1986 524 is waiting in the garage for next summer....cant wait
Beautiful straight six sound
Great video
Thanks
