I NEVER Expected It To START So Well! The $1 BMW X5 Runs AGAIN

- Finally! The $1 BMW X5 is going back together. We got most of the cooling system wrapped up 2 nights ago, now I just need to install the rest of it, fill it with coolant, and put the rest of the engine bay back together. It was pretty warm in KS today so I could feel my fingers which translates to real progress for once! Plus I drive the X5 for the first time in a month, and get the dirt out from under it.
Winner must be in the US and pick up the car.

I am a disabled veteran who lives in Indiana i have been walking for almost 2 years. If you are anywhere close I would love to be considered. Thank you for the time and effort involved in making these videos and sharing them with all of us.
Damnnnn JR I remember the days when you rolled up to O'Reilly's on your board and now you're rolling up in a platinum f250 🤘🤘
I aint gonna lie, i started this channel when amberghini got the red geo tracker, and been here ever since, plus i learn so much on fixing or trouble shooting my own car
So satisfying to see a pressure washer on the X5 and see it back on the road
If you are looking for a buyer, I’d baby that rig for the rest of its natural life. So very nice.
Well I can't afford to come out there or pay to ship it but I hope someone deserving and close enough pays their dollar and drives it home. It certainly coming together warehouse and the BMW 👍
JR with all that you’ve got going on right now right now I do appreciate what you’re doing with the BMW drawing for a dollar. Somebody is going to be very happy! I hope it’s me because I have always liked BMWs. Thanks!
Amazed that a BMW with that many miles still runs!!!
The Milwaukee hackzall is easily my favourite tool. I’ve definitely not walked around my shop/property looking for things to cut.
John Ross you truly are the best Mechanic/Vlogger on TH-cam. What have you learned hanging out with Hoovie? 🤔😂😂😂
I pray someone that is in true need wins it. God Bless you for fixing it and offering it for a buck .
Yes a full detail in and out would be Awesome, ill pick it up when you want my Dolla!
ThanQ for filming
I could really use this for my son and myself.. Single father needing some transportation.. Hard getting to work and doing everything i need to do.. This would be such a blessing.
Thanks for fixing my car ! Love it
The shop is coming along great. Very excited for how it's coming together, and with the attention to detail you provide. The BMW X5 for $1 will be a great cruiser for someone I know. Cool that's it's almost done.
Another great wrenchin’ video, JR! The shop’s comin’ along GREAT! I hope the family is continuing to recover from the pandemic. STAY SAFE ‼️
That BMW looks really nice I hope whoever gets it is going to have amazing vehicle
I would roll up my change jar and buy that beauty. Knowing JR worked in it, you know it's right!! Meeting JR would be the real prize, the BMW just icing on the cake.
Pumped to have another shot at the X5! Thanks, JR!
Sweet. I bought a new ‘01 3.0 and loved it for 10 years. It ate ball joints, rear subframe mounts, and tires though.
I would fly out to Wichita to buy that BMW for $1. I would then gift it to my son that’s getting out of boot camp, and is starting his military career. Love your show!
Gary
Glad you’re are doing good at the shop it looking good a lot better than it was
Def excited to see this one come along. And good luck to anyone who is picked/wins.
This is going to be an exceptional vehicle for someone. The vacuum fill never gets old.
Thx for saving this good old BMW! Great video! I have a dollar and a plane ticket to Kansas.😀
There's this guy, Samcrac, I hear he's looking for a cheap, dependable BMW and he's not having much luck.
The dude is a sucker for junker cars. Keeps thinking he is getting a steal. He is the one being ripped off.
@@scottfirman That's because he's not a mechanic.
@@scottfirman we've all been there 😁
@@scottfirman Are you sure? All of us watching him get hosed is making him something from TH-cam, right?
Give me give meeeeee the X5! It’s my dream car!! I’m a super BMW Fan! I’m 36 and have owned about 15 bmws so far 😜! Always wanted the e53!!
Thanks for the chance to win this !
Perhaps the person with the best story as to why they really need a car deserves to win it.
Dude ill fly out next day to buy that beast. Great job JR. Love what you do.
You put a lot of work into this X5, well done JR!
I always loved these cars but never had the money to buy one. I would buy that for a dollar maybe a couple of Dollars...lol One of my favorite series JR. keep it up.
Having pulled old telephone wire bundles back in the day in old office building floors, the only hope you have is to try to flood the pipe with soapy or slipperly liquid. They used to use different types of slime to make the wire pulling easier, but over time the slime turns into more of a hardened glue. Even if that's not the case, one little twist or turn in the run can make the wire pretty well stuck for good, without some sort of friction reliever.
Keeps looking better and Better....; love it for a dollar.......
That truck sounds amazing. You really are giving this BMW a chance at a long life. Someone is gonna be very happy with that .
if i won that beast... i would drive it back to maine. badass roadtrip
To quote the TV host on "Robocop", "I'd buy that for a dollar!"
I just watched that movie yesterday ha ha it's free on TH-cam
Let's give him a hand
Exactly! I posted the same a few vids back!
@@claysmell, great minds think alike, friend!
Great content JR! The X5 would be so worth the road trip.
Awesome work John! "I'd buy that for a dollar!"
I ♥️ that you post late! When you can’t sleep you can always watch JR. I have a $1 hope I get lucky I haven’t had a car since June.
Another great video on MY X5 stoked that I was picked at random , great content keep it coming bud
I've learned so much from watching JR giving me confidence to do several jobs on my car myself.
I wouldn't mind having a bmw, I remember when you had that 3,5,7 series wish you kept those for drift projects but keep on making great content
Dude, you want the fan mounted to the fan clutch, and then install. The shroud gives enough clearance. Much easier. I did my 530, and my sister's old Range Rover that way. Good video. Keep up the good work!
The 3 winner idea sounds like a good idea
I could use the car but ultimately I want to see the warehouse (compound). Thanks for the entertainment!
Someone is getting a really nice ride.
I would still love this X5.
Can’t wait to see it finished! Love the car - and I got a dollar!
Not a BMW guy but can’t get enough of these videos! Great work
*probably already gave this away but i love these trucks! great littler rides*
That coolant tool looks so slick. I need to find one of those.
I needed another one of these to add to my other x5's.
Colorado winters is worth a dollar!!! I'm in
Nice job on the maintance👍
Okay a dollar works for me, but really how did I end up following so many TH-camr's from Kansas? You, Hoovie AND the Wizard.... 🐇 🕳 every time and yet always enjoyable content. Thanks for the hard work!
Thanks for trying to pull the wires again!
Loved this series, John Ross!
Love it, just redid the expansion tank and mounting bracket for my e46. Been wanting an x3 or an X5 for me and my buddy to take to the mountains for so long! Looks awesome
Thanks for the update on the X5, the $1 sale/giveaway, and the ongoing upgrades at the "wharehouse".
Sweet. Congratulations on finishing it, be a sweet car for who ever gets it. Wish I had one
That's a new way to put in coolant that I have seen. I had my radiator take a nosedive on a road trip all I needed was my 10mm ratchet and a needle nose.
I'd love to have the X5 just because I know it'd be a great vehicle when you're done, but I'd be happy to see it go to someone that really needs a car if I don't get a shot at it.
Hey JR if you think about trying to pull that wire one more time get some of the wire lube from electrical supply house. We have to use it when pulling the wire through conduit. No way to pull it without it. Real slippery stuff you just put it inside the pipe it may work 😉
Looking forward to buying your BMW for a dollar. This Colorado dude would love to drive it up to the summit of Pikes Peak. Really enjoy your channel.
I still need that car bad! I will fly to KC for sure!
God I want this car! Nice work JR!
Nice try on the wires Jared. Thanx for trying!
It’s sad that no one got back to you yet. I would have been giving you that dollar same day
Always making it look so easy! That's gonna be a dope car for someone. The self filming content is always so raw and really portrays the determination you have when tackling projects. Love seeing the content and warehouse growing in such a positive direction.
I am totally ready to buy this X5 for $1, but I need to do it this week. Let's do this!
When you were working on the BMW there was a mark on the wall behind you which I kept thinking was a hair on my phone screen and was continuously trying to swipe it away 🙄😂. Those cables may come out one at a time as the friction inside the conduit will overcome the tensile strength of the copper and its sheath, probably sufficient dust and debris has entered the conduit to add to the existing friction also 👍🏻
I'll talk to the bank, but I can still probably get that dollar for the next giveaway. Glad to see you back working on cars.
I’ll pay for the shipping and handling John Ross! 😂😂😂
I hope Sr. is ok. He’s in my prayers.
I'd buy that for a dollar! 🤣
Also, to avoid running out of coolant when using that filler, just dump the bottles into a clean 5 gallon bucket. When you are done, just dump the leftover back into the bottles.
Spot on. I actually have a dedicated bucket (and large drain pan) at the shop for exactly this purpose. Anytime i drain coolant it goes in the bucket, and right back in the car (if applicable) when I'm done with the job.
Pro tip:
When pouring out a jug of coolant, poke a hole in the bottom while pouring. It pours faster, and won't gurgle and splash all over😉
Pro tip #2:
When pouring oil, hold the container so that the opening is on top. It pours faster, and won't gurgle and splash all over😉
Yep that's how it's done
Then you need a dedicated bucket, all mine are dirty and there’s no water here yet. Working on it 🍻
I would pull my sweet 55 travel trailer. Planning on a trip from Alberta to Tuktoyaktuk (after Covid) and the BMW X5 would be awesome. I'd put "WatchJRGo" decals on it as well. Good luck to all!
I’ll try for the BMW, I just turned 227K on my ‘05 Accord EX, auto, white. I respect high miles cars. It’s the right color too! Thanks, Bob Stroud. 44221. N.E.OH Bob
Cut the slab just below the panel and cut through the wires so there is no 90 degree turn in the on that end.. then break the slab around the post so you can grab the wires and pull them horizontally.. This removes all 90 degree bottle necks and should allow the wires to be pulled. Maybe even twist the end so that it makes the start of the wires into more of a "rope" so you are not pulling individual wires but one "rope" of wires...
People saying they wouldn't buy it for a dollar even though the 3.0 is one of the best engines BMW has ever made.
Just dug 4 quarters out of the sofa! Ready to go!
Awesome job with my car! I still have the dollar for it. I hate that those darn wires aren’t coming out, but yeah the pipe has to be busted in the concrete.
I love these update videos
X5 is a great car! Thank you for content.
I dont think id buy a 250k mile X5 but man Id be more then appreciative to win one and the whole exxperience to meet you and drive it home
My dollar is still in the same place and ready to be transferred to you for the X5!
Will you please do more repair videos on your HIGH school Camaro?!? I really enjoyed you fixing it up.
Tip for using an Airlift, get a bucket and dump all your coolant in that. No switching jugs that way. They are excellent tools though, makes cooling system work much less annoying.
My family has a bunch of high mileage BMWs and it would be great if this one could get added to the fleet! It would also be super helpful because my car won’t last much longer lol
Those old 3.0’s are awesome. BMW’s get a bad wrap but if you buy the older ones with the inline 6 motors...they are great cars. They aren’t like Honda’s where you can neglect them forever and get 200k. You have to maintain them and how you take care of them is how they will take care of you.
You certainly gave your all trying to pull those wires out.
The only change in procedure I would do is to dump more than you think you need for coolant into a clean 5 gallon bucket. If you're not careful when switching the coolant bottles you can get air into the system then. It's overkill but just to avoid repeated work is always how I do things.
I’ll buy for a dollar. Thank you for the great content.
That’s going to make a nice car for someone.
Love the videos can't wait to see the shop progress 😊
I'd buy it for a dollar. Love your channel keep up the great work.
John, why would you not take 10 minutes to clean the filth off the fan shroud and the front of the engine? I’m sure the detailer won’t remove that to clean in there...?
Everything but the block!
I will definitely pay $1 for that BMW!!!
