My husband had a BMW E39.He was constantly needing it fixed. Parts were outrageous plus labor $$$$$! He finally decided he could buy a second house for what the car was costing him and sold it for 1.00!!! Seriously. He had it go into some emergency mode to protect the engine, and he was furious abd DONE. Sold it to a used car lot owner who is a neighbor.
If a car has no engine oil dipstick, then I would NEVERE EVER purchase it. The arrogance of a Car maker that tells a purchaser they are not clever enough to check their oil.
That is so infuriating that a dealership would just throw a $5,500 part at a car when they don't actually know that's the problem. I would sue them. That's pure negligence at best, pure greed at worst. Just one more reason to never buy a BMW.
Mine did that and a private shop sprayed a 60 dollar sensor and it worked like a brand new transmission! Sorry can’t find the bill to tell you what the part they sprayed was I do know I was charged $130.00. The dealer told me the transmission was shot and would cost $8000 Luckily I found a honest shop
Mercedes is the same way. No oil dipstick and no transmission dipstick. The newer ones don't have a hood release that's easy for the owner to find either. Nice.
Call a lawyer and threaten to sue them. The dealership might change their tune. I got a dealership to replace a transmission on my sister's Ford by calling them out on their 21 point inspection and telling them they knew about the problem if they actually did a 21 point inspection. Thanx again Scotty you are a great person.
Hey, we bought one of your Matrix 05 , with love miles , everything ! EVERYTHING ! needed replaced other then the low mileage engine , money pits are unpredictable
Fascinating. This is one of the best videos from Scotty Kilmer that I have seen. My eyes became fixated on the rear windshield of his Toyota Matrix. It became obvious that he modified it by adding some kind of (illuminated ?) safety feature. I would love to see Scotty create a video on this. Small car owners need anything that makes them more visible to larger vehicles on the road!
Sold my BMW years ago and never looked back. Bought it new, had it for 3 years and so many issues. It was all covered under warranty, but the time it took to the repair shop, and rental car, etc... was not worth it.
I have done as much maintenance and repairs to all of my vehicles as I could for this reason. You ALWAYS say to bring your car to a trusted mechanic to check it out before purchasing, I’m 60 years old and haven’t found a mechanic I trust!!!!!! HELP
I'm also a maintenance and repair guy. I doubt a good mechanic has time to go look at a car someone wants to purchase without proper compensation. However, If I were a good mechanic with access to the right information that applies to whatever vehicle as needed, I see an opportunity for a new mobile service that doesn't necessarily include turning a wrench.
Once a car is 3 or 4 years old never ever bring it to the dealer for maintenancd ir repair . The dealer just is not geared toward fixing anything older than that.
My biggest money pit is Chrysler Sebring. I have put over $5,000 into it. As soon as I think I am good, something else fails. Now it's in 2nd gear limp mode. I put in a new speed control sensor on the transmission and it helped it shift better. Now it's something else causing it not to shift out of 2nd gear. I need a Bozkoa to end its misery.
I have a 2008 Ford Crown Vic P71 SAP. It runs and drives fine. I think if I had the engine and transmission replaced, it would be much less that $5k parts & labor.
Nice job Scooty. Unmasking these dealerships that only outside swaping money out of clients. It is sad to pay 1000s of dollar for a crap and they don't even are resposibles for this. Keep helping people. Thanks God still good mechanics like you outside to show true about cars.
Another great analysis, Scotty, thanks. SUV..? Not sporty at all, not a great deal of utility, either. I guess they wouldn't sell so well if they were called clumsy, heavy brick vehicles.... An estate/station wagon carries more, is better to drive, easier to park and you can see kids from it!
I had a neighbor that had a Chevy Traverse AWD with a 180K on it. It was making all kinds of noise form the rear end and the shop wanted thousands to put a whole rear end in the car. I went over a looked at the car and pulled the AWD fuse and said there you now have a FWD car not AWD any more. Fixed the problem, no more grinding noise and cost nothing. This AWD in a car is a joke in my opinion.
the X3 is the most reliable BMW on the road for the last few years according to a bunch of online reports and testimonials. One youtube said his 2022 X3 only cost him $40, for every 1000 miles traveled. That is cheap as hell for a luxury vehicle.
It did read something wrong with the 12v battery. I'm sure you've seen weird issues with a battery that's going bad. I can't imagine 7 years, but still worth a look.
Don't buy or finance a bmw- but if you really like it and have the dough, lease it for 3 years. That goes for many other car models conjested with technology or just overall bad quality.
What, are you deaf? Scotty just said more than a few times in no uncertain terms that the damn car doesn't have an oil dipstick or transmission dipstick. THAT is NOT a decent car!
You gotta watch those dealerships. They like to stick it to you whenever they can. And don't get me started on those extended warranty companies. They'll do whatever it takes not to pay. For a repair like you didn't do this. Or you didn't do that. That part's not covered.
As Scotty mentions millions of times: Avoid 4WD vehicles at every opportunity. Once gremlins start on modern 4wd drivetrains, the money pit really begins.
Correct me if I’m wrong Scotty but although u probably found the issue with that transmission shifting like that for that long more than likely caused a lot of damage u can’t reverse unfortunately
I feel for this poor woman. $6,500 gone pffft. And when Scotty said "They tried to sell her the kitchen sink." he should have added, when all the time the problem was with the shitter in the ensuite bathroom. 😅
German vehicles are fine..... for about 5 years! If you don't mind losing a huge amount of value during that time and insane routine maintenance costs and sell it at around 5 years, you'll likely never have an issue. They are status symbols, that's it...
I still say that the Dodge Journey is the Biggest 💵 pit no matter what year it is cause how you put a 2.4 cylinder engine or a 3.6 liter engine in a vehicle that's big n that's just one/two things out of many things that's wrong with the way that it was built, don't get anyone mad while driving cause you'll get caught 🤦🏾 😭
I think they went back to dipsticks. I have a 2013 Benz E-Class, and it has dipsticks for the engine and transmission. My 2005 C-Class did not have a dipstick, but apparently, you can get one for it, and they call it a service stick for $175 at the time.
The bloom is off the BMW rose. I have 2 older BMS (1976 2002 and 2003 530i) which I love. But no dip stick no sale is my feeling. Mercedes is about the same. These manufacturers are building cars for those who can afford to lease, not for the enthusiast.
@@majoritynote Yes, could be part of the transmission shift sensors malfunctioning. Also: If the car was in a wreck, the traction control sensors can be an issue if they were damaged. A pinched wire from a wreck could cause problems with the transmission as well as the battery / alternator current.

Reinforces the expression “Stealership”
BMW is great! Pay a premium up front, pay a premium every time it breaks down, and then lose your shirt when you finally give up and try to sell it.
It's all about the badge of course - same as Mercedes and Audi. Those badges, having no moving parts, never break!
But you look cool and feel important 😂
If a car has no engine oil dipstick, then I would NEVERE EVER purchase it. The arrogance of a Car maker that tells a purchaser they are not clever enough to check their oil.
Which cars still have transmission dip sticks?
@@dirkdiggler5164 "If a car has no engine oil dipstick", please note the word OIL.
@@qre268Zrtb Just wondering if you apply the same criteria to transmission fluid
Their clientele do t care to check the oil. They pay a premium to Joe be bothered with that kind of stuff. You lowly people don’t understand that.
My Tesla has no dip stick.
Keep it up Scotty.
Don't buy BMW
why not ? bmw untill 2001year worth.
@@bartsimpson8616If you want reliability, shop Lexus or Acura
I’ll still buy BMW and keep for the track

This is vintage Scotty. The best!
I wish we could have President Scotty. Imagine him giving the State of the Union address.

I bought a new 68' VW bug and took it in for a few problems and the German mechanic was excellent. I was able to talk to him while he fixed it.

BMW: Barely Moving Workers.
Once a car is 3 or 4 years old never ever bring it to the dealer for maintenancd ir repair . The dealer just is not geared toward fixing anything older than that.
What happened to Range Rover being the biggest money pit?!!!
same category 😂
Jaguar F-PACE too.
That will be next week after he ends his channel again
English cars have their own leage😂
Don’t forget Maserati! (all of them)
Man if there is an update to this I would LOVE to hear it.

My biggest money pit is Chrysler Sebring.
I have put over $5,000 into it. As soon as I think I am good, something else fails.
Now it's in 2nd gear limp mode. I put in a new speed control sensor on the transmission and it helped it shift better.
Now it's something else causing it not to shift out of 2nd gear.
I need a Bozkoa to end its misery.
My sister had a Sebring with the same issue. Shop wanted 6k for a new trans. She has a crv now 😂

Every Chrysler is garbage!
Prolly a solenoid in the valve body. Typical failure that puts it into limp mode.

Keep helping people. Thanks God still good mechanics like you outside to show true about cars.
Crazy enough no dipsticks on both reminds me of Dukes of Hazzard when Rosco keeps calling Cleadis a dipstick lol 😂
Good job Scotty. Now go take two gummies & give your arms a rest. ❤
Only rich people can afford to own BMWs.
Another great analysis, Scotty, thanks.
SUV..? Not sporty at all, not a great deal of utility, either. I guess they wouldn't sell so well if they were called clumsy, heavy brick vehicles.... An estate/station wagon carries more, is better to drive, easier to park and you can see kids from it!
This video reinforces that I made the correct decision to get out of auto repair in 2011. No regrets.
Is a 15 year-old "SAV" even worth $6500? I would've put that $6500 into a newer car
Car fax has them for around $7500. I would dump $6500 into a SAV worth $7500 if I had confidence that the mechanic's work wasn't a joke.
I had a neighbor that had a Chevy Traverse AWD with a 180K on it. It was making all kinds of noise form the rear end and the shop wanted thousands to put a whole rear end in the car. I went over a looked at the car and pulled the AWD fuse and said there you now have a FWD car not AWD any more. Fixed the problem, no more grinding noise and cost nothing. This AWD in a car is a joke in my opinion.

That’s why you have your own scanner so when they are done you check after their work
Seeing 19 problem codes made my chest hurt.

I'm convinced that 'Dealers' are not interested in solving automotive problems. Their job is just to sell spare parts.
They "fixed" the transfer case by transferring a junkyard one to that car.
Proud BMW owner ❤❤❤
They don't call it stealership for nothing, Scotty.
That really sounds like a software issue. The ECU is getting conflicting information from different sensors.
So much room for Sports Activities
I guess the sport activity is trying to find one that was taken care of properly.
What a testimony of service and reliability, Bavarian Motor Jerks
Don't buy or finance a bmw- but if you really like it and have the dough, lease it for 3 years. That goes for many other car models conjested with technology or just overall bad quality.
So basically bmw can be decent cars but they’re let down by scumbag dealerships.
and tight arse owners that don't service them on time
Tight arse people should stick it to Corollas
The dealerships don't build them, they just sell them.
@@jamesharvey636 In today's case, the stealership can't or won't even come close to diagnosing the problem area.

BMW! says it all! POS!
I love my z4. 20 years and still going strong
They have a new monthly subscription. You pay the subscription so your car breaks down less during the month.
Buy a Lexus instead of that money pit.
They call those "Break My Wallet" for a reason!
got a take your lawyer to the dealership when you take it in
She got ripped off. so... fix it Scotty!
I'd pull the serial numbers and figure out if they even replaced the case...
I have a feeling they just got one over on her
You gotta watch those dealerships. They like to stick it to you whenever they can.
And don't get me started on those extended warranty companies. They'll do whatever it takes not to pay.
For a repair like you didn't do this. Or you didn't do that. That part's not covered.
As Scotty mentions millions of times:
Avoid 4WD vehicles at every opportunity. Once gremlins start on modern 4wd drivetrains, the money pit really begins.
Just snowing this evening in Boston. The worst cars I saw in the snow, 1. TESLAS 2. Mustang suv electric.
Nice Scotty use your well-respected bully pulpit! The car buyers out here need guys like you.
Call a lawyer or maybe even better, call your local news station. It’s amazing what a little bad publicity will do.
That's why the nickname is BMTroubleU
Correct me if I’m wrong Scotty but although u probably found the issue with that transmission shifting like that for that long more than likely caused a lot of damage u can’t reverse unfortunately
VW did the non dipstick thing as well. How stupid!
Saw the thumb nail and said either Land Rover or BMW , ok pretty easy to get but I’m depressed I got them in the wrong order 😊
Scotty you going to fix that POS or not? Lift the radiator cap and drive a new one under it.
Expose the dealership, and/or service center that took her money.
I feel for this poor woman. $6,500 gone pffft. And when Scotty said "They tried to sell her the kitchen sink." he should have added, when all the time the problem was with the shitter in the ensuite bathroom. 😅
Great Video Tips Scotty
Happy Holidays to you
Money pit 04 volvo v70 put 3 200 in car that cost my 3 grand still needs more work
I seen the video tagline and instantly said BMW.
"came over here on u-boats" I'm dying...

Very clever. And not untrue
Will never buy another European car after owning a Audi
Did a new electronic shift control fix the problem? Though it did need to be changed anyhow.

Maybe BMW fixed the problem but didn't clear the codes as often Scotty does ?
I still say that the Dodge Journey is the Biggest 💵 pit no matter what year it is cause how you put a 2.4 cylinder engine or a 3.6 liter engine in a vehicle that's big n that's just one/two things out of many things that's wrong with the way that it was built, don't get anyone mad while driving cause you'll get caught 🤦🏾 😭
I thought it was going to be a Jaguar.
I will NEVER BUY another BMW
So sad what has happened to BMW
We have a 2013 Mini 😱
Dealers make more money from repairs then selling cars😊
You sat in one last month!
Her biggest mistake is going to a dealership. Find a good Indy shop .
How do they not refund the $6500 if the problem is still there??
I think they went back to dipsticks. I have a 2013 Benz E-Class, and it has dipsticks for the engine and transmission. My 2005 C-Class did not have a dipstick, but apparently, you can get one for it, and they call it a service stick for $175 at the time.
BMW where known as money pits 50 years ago, i guess they always will be.
Scotty repeating what he said 50 years ago
The bloom is off the BMW rose. I have 2 older BMS (1976 2002 and 2003 530i) which I love. But no dip stick no sale is my feeling. Mercedes is about the same. These manufacturers are building cars for those who can afford to lease, not for the enthusiast.
Wow, you have like over 150 edits in this video
BMW are crooks. I have a 2014 BMW 525i with junk headlights. $4500 to replace one light assembly. Crooked.
Scotty,
Is that why they are called Bee eeM Trouble You's ???
Right on Scotty 😊
Sounds like it's the computer.
Alternator or putting the wrong battery in.
@@majoritynote Yes, could be part of the transmission shift sensors malfunctioning. Also: If the car was in a wreck, the traction control sensors can be an issue if they were damaged.
A pinched wire from a wreck could cause problems with the transmission as well as the battery / alternator current.
There are no dip sticks to confirm with EU emissions regulations.
