DRIVING 2 TOTALED BMWs 1,000 Miles To Be SCRAPPED
ฝัง

- Hoovie's Garage is done with his two mechanically totaled BMWs. The very rare supercharged Alpina B7 sport sedan, and the ultimate in luxury BMW 760Li with a V12 under the hood. J&J Auto Wrecking bought them from him for parts so we're going to drive the cars 1,000 miles in one day to their final resting place. This roadtrip was unbelievably fun and I really didn't want to give the Alpina up at the end... but the next morning, it got far worse. Stay tuned!

It was awesome meeting you man!!!
You too man, have fun on that 3 wheeler! 💪
@@WatchJRGo why did you not keep that BMW jr
Joseph White it’s totaled
When you were messing with the brakes in the drive through they were so loud I first thought someone was honking at you. 😆
BMW make some of the greatest looking driver's cars. But damn their reliability, just enough to get through warranty and then every turn of the key is a gamble. Great video really enjoyed it.
i have owned 7 BMW motorcycles, after that experience, decided to ride Urals. At least they are cheap to fix and look like a BMW for a lot less money and have a sidecar...
skitzvitz the old cars are awesome, the new ones are generic boring junk
How can it be there are still cars from the 80's around and these are already junk?
alphatrion100 because BMW actually cared about reliability back then.
Mainly poor or no proper maintenance...
the last hurrah for these battered bavarians
Exactly, and hopefully a proper send off 🍻
Battered Bavarians is a good way to describe them
Is a battered Bavarian like a hot carl?
@@darkwoodfarms1040 Well they're close enough they should get an "authentic" Cleveland Steamer
@@darkwoodfarms1040 No, it's like a hot potato pancake.
Imma miss the B7 a lot
Me too, me too ♥️
I'd bought that b7 put the 5.3 sitting in my back porch in it
tomw626 You should see if they’ll sell it to you! Then make content with it 😁
@@tomw6266 or Cummins swap it 😂😂😂
@@pratikdutta93 i was thinking its too bad that a LS swap on them just wouldn't work to keep things working like factory, and then everything else would break. Just sad.
Best cars ever to drive to their deaths. BMW: The ultimate dying machine.
BMW = Bucketlist Motor Works
LOL
People drive them hard for a lot of years without doing and proper maintenance but yeah BMW are crap that's why they are everywhere
Ultimate dripping machine, B!tchslap My Wallet, etc. The old saying truly applies to these things- "The quickest way to turn a large fortune ($100k+) to a small fortune ($500?). BMW."
For surviving 7 series BMWs I recommend M539 Restorations. It's amazing how much work is needed to get a BMW 7 series to pass inspections.
*german Inspektion you can fail just because you positive batterie cover is missing...
M539 Restorations' videos are absolutely awesome. That guy is OCD about his engine refurbs
When he said "we should do this again", I was thinking they should find 2 Cadillac Northstars that has headbolt and coolant issues. A Deville and a Seville maybe?
Hoovie should've LS swapped the B7 just to keep it going. Such a pretty car.
Hahahahahaha yeah
not as simple as it sounds, plus endless electrical gremlins
he could get a cleaner b7 for that money. And these b7 might never go up in value because of just how bad the reliability is. not only poor reliability, but also how much it would actually cost to constantly repair it. It's so complex, unlike the older beamers. And these BMW's aren't as universally loved as the older ones as well. Things could change, but i doubt it.
@@povilasmarveloustv3810 he may never find a cleaner B7 sadly. Back when they were new it was a pretty niche car. Most dealers only had 1 and they sat in the showroom not selling. They were more expensive then a 760 of the time and most people in the market for a 7 series didn't care about the performance. I remember my dealer had a black one just like Hoovie's and it was still sitting in the showroom a year later with a big cut in price.
Fill the oil, check the gas.
Epic trip. Wondered where you've been the last few days.
Great roadtrip.The homie in the beater BMW at the end was the the best.
Yep, those two BMW's were witnessing their futures.
That guy's E60 was the saddest one I've ever seen lol
At least it still runs
It was as jacked as his grill
ZNormT6 I just realized it's a stick shift. Those are pretty darn rare
reminded me of need for speed prostreet with those stitches :D
Surprised that nobody already has posted something racist under your comment
That B7 would've been a great candidate for an LS swap just to save it from the crusher
Or 2J/1J or anything to save it. Sad that a beautiful car is gonna be crushed.
Excellent video!! Loved it man!
Geeze, I was hoping for the first ever Alpina LS swap. No joy here. Thanks JRGo.
It's too electronic based for that...you would be driving with zero computers. Not worth it
Pretty sad for these 7 series but having a bmw myself I understand things go wrong very quickly, btw that 5 series was absolutely smashed what the heck cracked windshield, rear door with questionable repairs and his v8 didn't smoke LOL that's where the money went
go go gadget smoke screen xDDDDD
13 year old BMW: already broken, ready for scrap
My 24 year old Saab: still running great, no issues.
gErMaN eNgInEeRiNg
Saab=The best. 9000 owner here
Proud owner of a 26 years old Saab here. Drives still good but its now in the shop for a big overhaul
Ah.. Those who ain't worth shit now due to being infomous for engine issues? ;)
+Tha Hool Yeah, you have to change the timing chain every 100k miles and for that you have to remove the engine. That's Saab for you.
I had a 98 900 that was stage 2 tuned and some goodies on it. Person that owned it said it was tuned to blow up and it never blew up after 3 years of hard abuse. I mean it had something break on it every time i drove it but it was a fun car
No idea why people buy these lemons. No offense to anyone who likes them but damn they are trash as far as reliability
There well reliable I don't understand why people think that it's how you look after them better than anything American mad but not as could as anything Japanese I put then bang in the middle the problem I see with BMW is that because there German and are meant to be bullet proof people run them into the ground and don't look after them properly
@@marleymatthews7633 the maintenence thing on german cars is a joke, most of the shit thst breaks dont require maintenance. His valve seals are gone because how crap they made them. What maintenance you gonna do to prevent that? None. Not to mention things like leaks from the engine. Toyotas go 200k miles without leaks.
@Sizzle Wrap weren't they hand made then?
@@dantfc7681 As a former owner, I can only agree. Not to mention the f' suspensions...
I think the main problem is that almost all of them were leased, meaning that the owners often didn't care how long they ran. Drove them for 3 years with 0 maintenance, then replaced them with a new one. Damage is done, future totaled engine.
The Alpina created fog at the end was my favorite
2 weeks without a cigarette and I feel like putting my head through a wall. This was genuine entertainment.
Edit: it's been 2 months without a cigarette guys. I love you all. Cheers
2 weeks? Hell yeah, good for you man!
use the gum
Keep it up dude!
Use the gum and never go back you’ll thank yourself down the road
Thanks so much guys. Don't congratulate me too much, I should never have started smoking. I'm a special kind of stupid...
*BMW: Best initial quality.... for first 6 months.*
*before their warranty expired
Best quality-for the duration of the lease.
It's actually quite brilliant. Their brand isn't cheapened by the descent into hooptie status with the second, third, or fifth owner like Cadillacs are. They self-destruct before that happens.
"Es musst nur drei Jahren funktionieren!"
I have used j&j for years they are 15 minutes away now I have to see hoovies BMW 'S great people great prices great service
Too freaking funny. Just realized J&J is like only a little over an hour away from me. Wouldn't have known until you did this video.
I would love to see more of you two driving mechanically totaled cars to the junkyard lol
Typical Auto Guy It would be called 2 Broke Guys...lol
Needed this today with all the craziness in my local area
I like watching road trips. Makes for good content. Do it more often.
First episode of "Will 2 Hoopties make the trip?"
You guys are so amused by driving a shytty car, its hilarious...this is what I have to deal with driving my car everyday lol
Facts
At first, I'm sitting here thinking: "These guys are crazy to attempt this stunt!" And then I realize that when I was that age, it would have been like: "Oh hell yeah!" What some guys won't do to create TH-cam content! From a guy who used to do crazy stuff like this, and lived to tell the tale... thanks for posting!
I just love the cloud that Alpina makes.
It was great meeting you at the Akron Canton Airport! I meet a lot of football players for the HOF but it was cool meeting a TH-cam celebrity who lives in Kansas...what a small world! Next time bring Tyler out and you two can check out my “hooptie fleet”. Keep up the good work!
This is like the better half of hoovies channel. All his subs are missing out. Good stuff man
That B7 looks soooooooo good doing donuts. What a fun trip!
Thank god I bought the E38 BMW 740il over the E65 750i, both were around the same price at 15k in 2014 and this video proves that I made the right choice! I had nothing but trouble free motoring in 100k miles+ after doing preventative maintenance such as valve cover gaskets, cooling system and the timing chain.
What a hilariously fun adventure. Thanks so much for sharing.
I did a 12 hour trek with a friend in Volvo truck with a car hauler to pick up 3 wagons all together last week. Picked up a 05 Passat 4motion wagon, a 04 Volvo V70R AWD Wagon, and a gem of a 09 Saab 9-3 Aero wagon (XWD, eLSD, and the 2.8T all with a 6 speed manual is way too much fun). The VW and Saab are mostly in great shape, couple signs of light wear that come with 100-140k miles. The 215k mile Volvo is smoking on start but I haggled the price down to a point where I accept repairing that. I do all the work myself at my shop so I'm not too worried.
I'm a sucker for wagons and I spent less than 10 grand on all 3 together so I'm happy. I've been wanting the Saab and Volvo for a while already having a 9-2x Aero and a 750R. The VW was just a solid find that I've been driving since, I like the 20V 1.8t's and the DSG + 4motion has been working great for me and is now my daily.
I had a 82 Audi 5000cp Quatro. After several electrical fires; it still ran. In the end only the tachometer worked. I couldn't give it away. lol
Oh, if you know who to give the car away to, they will take it. Of course, it would be crushed for recycling if you were to give it to a junkyard...
The smoke screen is hilarious 🤣. I love my 20 year old 323i there fun cars
So excited for this series of videos. What a trip.
It's been awhile since your last big driving trip on this channel. Love these.
Epic vid man!!!
New for 2021, BMW is adding a oil filler cap on top on the dash! So you don't even have to suffer the inconvenance of stopping to add oil! Now that is some outstanding German engineering from BMW!
Way too much stopping for such a short drive. I could never road trip with you guys. 😂
BMW--- Broke Man Walking....
BMW= Broke My wallet
BMW = Bij Mercedes weggegooid ( dutch for thrown away by Mercedes)
Bring Mechanic Withyou
Bavarian Money Wasters!
@@codykamminga9667 I know some Dutch words. But maybe that's because I am Dutch.
Nice road trip, with the added bonus of "will we make it or not" 👍😜
We get to see J&J Auto Wrecking !
That poor Alpina deserves such a better fate than the one it was given. What an amazing ride.
Just for a little comparison, my 2014 Honda Accord did a 1165 mile day a couple years ago, got 37 mpg, 500+ miles per fill up, and it burned zero oil. It's definitely not as "fancy" as an Alpina but that means less stuff to break. Plus it makes me happy.
As a 7 Series survivor, I often wondered WTF I was thinking when I bought it.
For as much as they charge for those gorgeous cars, it amazes me how BMW manages to churn out cars with so many mechanical and electronic faults.
Most people lease them
Man, the Alpina B7 😍😍😍
At 12:14 J.R.'s Beemer is vaping like a train. I'm jealous. After all my name is Virtual Vapes. This looked like a fun road trip.
6:26 you should show the Alpina B7 one of those Real Cost Commercials and show how bad vaping is since it loves to “vape” and maybe it’ll stop and won’t be totaled anymore! 😂😂😝😝🤣🤣
That smoke screen cracks me up sooo much!
Those breaks sound so cute ☺️☺️
Awesome vid!👍 There’s a lot of great parts on those cars, they will serve to keep some more worthy 7series on the road a bit longer.👌👍
Wow. Seen Hoovie's cars cover more miles in this one video than on Hoovie's entire channel.
Big tanks for the win. Did 610 miles on a tank in my dads ‘05 X5. Just close your eyes when the price comes up for 24 gallons worth.
Man I love bmw,, forget value vs repair cost. I’d keep that thing broken and all as a lifetime project car
A TH-cam channel where they know how to fix cars themselves the BMW's wouldn't need to be junked.
Ahh, Kansas/western Missouri interstates....."our next turn is in 140 miles". Haha. The noises in those cars are so nice. Bong....
Don't give Hoovie the money for those rides....you know what he's gonna do with it. HAHA!!
I kinda wanted to see the delivery to the junkyard. Great vid. Sad they are gone.
JR's little kid run when he's excited is hilarious 😂
If I could drive the 2 BMWs with Watch JR Goes and John's I would drink the cold Bartle Skeets and puff on the Cannabis Cigar and get all schmoked up.
I love these car trip videos. They’re an adventure.
From where I come from(Estonia), a car is not considered totaled until it is a absolute pile of rust. Nobody here will scrap a car that has a solid body, even the crashed ones will be fixed up again(ex: Arthur Tussik's channel).
Thanks for making such contents even during the pandemic!
This is the best Lexus commercial ever!
This actually breaks my heart a bit. My dad has had multiple of this generation 7 series for work (just want to point out they both ended with 300k+ miles, but damn it cost to get them that far) I fully get why they’re getting this final outcome, that’s for sure, but they hold a special place in my heart lol. RIP you lovely vehicles, you’ll be missed by no ones wallets, but by my dreams
This video made my day! I'm from NY and a couple of times a year I drive out to Kansas City. Man did your trip look very familiar to me. Have a great week.
I Remember the B7 as dream car as a kid, Good and bad those cars are so special.. The bmw bmw couldnt build. Far well old friend
Am I alone in feeling BMW sedans and Coupes age very well? Even 06 era ones seem to hold up well (not including the new tech options) but style very well. Thoughts?
Yeah, especially interior
140 in the morning, you are a trooper!
Seriously heart wrenching watching this, Having owned BMW's my who life I hate to see a couple beautiful and rare in the case of the B7 cars going to their deaths. On the same note this is why I would never buy a 7 series. Pretty sad when you see are car that was over $100,000 new and its now worth less then my 3 series that's actually a couple years older then those cars. The valve seal issue was a problem with that generation of 7 and 5 series. Its since been fixed on the newer BMW's. In most cases people buy these cars when they cant afford the upkeep on them. They ignore problems until they get to this point. Enthusiasts know to stay away from this generation 5 and 7 series like its the plague but unfortunately a lot of people don't know this. However the depreciation of these cars should be an indicator to anyone looking at a used BMW. If the price seems too good to be true that's because it is. The generation prior to these was actually pretty solid. Which is why you still see the 1999 - 2001 740i Sport selling upwards of the mid 20's for a low mileage well taken care of example. All in all a BMW is a BMW and not a Toyota. You just have to know what to expect which is keeping up on maintenance. When people don't do their homework you end up buying cars like these. No offense to Tyler lol as buying broken cars is the whole premise to his channel. I currently own 2 BMWs. My M240i is still under warranty so I cant attest to the reliability of that car but my 2004 325ci still runs like a champ. Mostly because I took care of the maintenance. Had a few surprises in the 16 years and 110,000 miles I have owned the car (purchased new in 2004) but overall just keeping up with everything it has been a pretty reliable car. So much so that I cant bring myself to part with it lol.
Best BMW advertisements ever 😉🤣 I still think it should be engine swapped with a Toyota engine just for the supra thing 🤗😉
Looks like a beautiful day over there
"Yeah, I'll drive 1,000 miles in a broken car for the lols, no problem!".
Did that back in the day no lol
well they did fine and it's fun dealing with the little problems
Cured my interest in BMW forever!
Best commercial for BMW !
The wheels the body parts the dash all that fun stuff
Looked like a fun roadtrip! Thanks for sharing the laughs and the fun!
STOP BUYING BMW CARS MAN ! I WORK WITH A GUY WHO PURCHASED ONE AND IT IS A TERRIBLE MONEY PIT ! HE THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZING TO GET A BMW FOR SO CHEAP AND AFTER A YEAR HE REALIZES THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNERS GOT THE BETTER END OF THE DEAL.
Id love to buy that b7 and just put the n62 from my car into it
If it was here in oz I’d drop a turbo Barra in it
You should have put 50 weight oil into the engine. I had a 74 Chevrolet pickup that had a 454 and it used 5 gallons of oil in 750 miles. No smoke, but I found out that these engine had bad valve problems. Your trip is a thumbs up and thanks for sharing your story.
I cried a little inside knowing these two beauty's were being scrapped. I'd take the B7 and if it tool 10yrs, I'd rebuild it!!
damnit John you were super close to me i am from Cleveland... i would of came out your way and met you guys...
I had an almost identical Alpina, it was burning oil out a tailpipe bad... would come and go. I spent $14000 on different "Fixes" an in the end it just turned out to be a simple plastic valve that was dumping oil into cylinder, $35 fix. I was convinced the motor was bad. What an amazing car after.. I guess its common issue on them.
Sad that those cars are dead, but their parts will soldier on.
Rolling coal in a B7. That's legendary German engineering for you right there :(
As Scotty Kilmer has said many times, BMWs are endless money pits!
At the price of those cars, they should last practically forever.
So much for German engineering.
Putting 93 into a scrapped BMW is the equivalent of taking your dog to McDonalds before the last vet visit.
That tick is so bad it sounds like a 5.4 triton haha.
This looks like the funnest road trip ever haha
How can you not chuckle every time the smoke screen starts?
A suicide mission for the bravest of our Seal Team members....lol
As a formerly dedicated BMW enthusiast, these two cars make me sad.
This video is hilarious. I think John likes the car so much because it rolls smoke.
Come on, that would be a great project. Sad so see the B7 being scrapped
Epic trip! Can't wait to see the next update on your Audi R10!!!
When my brother had his first steady girlfriend back during the 1980's his girlfriend drove this green Ford Pinto which my brother kept pouring waste oil in the engine since it burned oil so much.
