Welcome back everybody marked with exotic car play place coming back at you
today at the local dealership here the BMW dealership to talk about our BMW is
reliable enough to last 100,000 miles and while a lot of cars you would argue
easily make a hundred thousand two hundred three hundred thousand miles
there are some that probably won't even make near that and so let's take a look
around and we'll talk about a few the cars that we pretty much guarantee will
make it and others maybe that would be a struggle and so the 340 here you
know obviously it's a turbocharged car it's basically the predecessor to the
335 and we know the 335 had a lot of problems and there's a lot of guys that
would say they arguably struggle to hit a 100k miles with a 335
especially with the n54 is because of carbon buildup and turbo issues
wastegate problems leaks and the whole nine yards well we'll wait and see what
the 340 here has to has in store with the b-58 engine we know that already
they've done a lot of good things in the end 55 which came after the n54 which
was also in that 335 but now of course we've got the 340 which is up in power
they've run in more boost but of course more importantly they've done other
things to protect the engine of course a cars like this we've got the x6m of
course here what a magnificent animal look at the the rubber on this thing
the chubby tires underneath this thing here for sure is destined for huge power
of course this utilizes a similar engine it's the 4.4 liter twin-turbo v8 engine
in this car the x6m that you would find over here in the m5 this is the
brand-new m5 and it's just spectacularly beautiful I would expect lots of miles
out of this car - can you get a hundred thousand I think so they've done they've
basically coupled the 600 horsepower all-wheel drive car to an automatic
transmission so the old days of the e60 m5 and the SMG transmissions that would
fail and spit out a lot of issues these cars I would expect to last a lot longer
the gearboxes are good for sure that 4.4 liter is is an engine that's widely used
the brand already so I would expect that there we wouldn't see a lot of issues
with the engine generally because it's just they continually to refine that
engine that 4.4 liter again as I said as in the x6m over there same kind of
engine then of course you have the generic cars like this now what do we
have over here the X30i while this is an x4 well of course these 30 I series
now we're talking about the four-cylinder turbos so can these last a
hundred thousand kilometers I'd are a hundred thousand miles I guess time will
tell when we get you know further down the road why do I ask that question
because the old you know 330s and such they were built with the inline sixes
and those cars were fairly bulletproof other than the cooling system issues
these things here now we're putting a lot more power to a smaller engine we're
boosting it because it's turbo charging and time will tell whether these cars
can hold up with turbo charging we will see so for now do you think it can hit a
hundred thousand I think just with modern technology I think they're coming
a long ways and I think they can do a lot of good things probably will last
two three hundred thousand kilometers just the way they run more efficiently
today I would expect things cars like this to do that
no now we move over here we see a couple of cars over here this one here what
looks like you had a bit of an owie there
ouch looks like he's been down some gravel roads or another I would say it's
a good probability that this one is living a hard life and it probably won't
last they're pushing a lot of power out of that three litre inline-six
turbocharged engines so time will tell but you'll notice beside it here we have
an e90 m3 that happens to be the coupe version which looks very very similar
actually when you look at them side-by-side very similar cars the
headlights very comparable front spoilers aren't overly different they're
actually very very similar the hood scoops a little more aggressive actually
on the e90 then on there that one's a little bit more flat lined the mirrors
I would say the mirrors are a little nicer on the e90 on this particular car
but these cars already we know are a lot like the e60 m5 s where a lot of it
depends on luck a lot of it depends on maintenance and a lot of it depends on
the overall treatment or abuse because these cars if we're abused if they were
abused neglected often you had rod bearing issues often like similar to
what you see in the e60 m5 and so rod bearing issues are a quick way to kill
an engine of course if you have a bad rod bearing spinner rod boom your
engines toast so these ones there's some that can live way over a hundred
thousand miles and others that maybe don't make it a hundred thousand miles a
big part of it with the M cars is how you treat them then we look at this old
jalopy what do we have here this one here I would say likely this was
probably got two three four hundred thousand miles on it I look at the back
pretty brutalized this thing wasn't treated very well and it's probably in
this recent few years but this thing here guaranteed has a lot of miles on it
and at the end of the day that's mainly because that is from a generation when
BMW really did build a lot of their cars like tanks so this car here probably has
a lot of K's but sadly look at the neglect and now it's pretty much laid
out to pasture to die and now there's a new generation of x5s of course you'll
notice here this one happens to be has a different engine in here and all of a
sudden this is the newly styled x5 and there's a lot of great elements to it of
course as you see taillights and mirrors are a little smaller of course with the
fancy light on the side headlights are pretty slick of course an adaptive LEDs
in there those fancy little inserts in there how beautiful is that anyway
what an amazing machine of course quite a stunner and time will tell if this
thing lasts as long as my e70 x5 of course you guys all know I have the x5
diesel and we'll see if a car like this can outlast that I would expect it would
this one being a gas job' newer generation it probably will but
then again who know a lot of the newer vehicles the gas cars
a lot of them are suffering carbon buildup because of the direct injected
engines and that can be a problem too with some of these cars here we have a
brand new x2 very swanky looking little thing actually it has a great little
road presence here it's quite a pretty car for sure this one here is the 28th
so I'll show you at the back this one here is the xdrive 28i so that is the
smaller or the the lower power output version of that 2-liter turbocharged
motor that BMW starting used now of course
pretty fancy unit nice little decal there you've got lots of logos on this
car I would expect these to last a little longer even on the 330 there are
boosted quite as hard probably a pretty dependable vehicle and then over here we
have an absolute awesome machine what do we have here guys this is the m2 now of
course what we have here essentially is a beefed up tuned up dialed in much more
aggressively pushed 240 engines so if you were to take the standard 240i and
tweak a little harder and push more squeeze more boost out of that squeeze
it squeeze it for more power you will get this car the m2 and the m2 is an
awesome little unit look at the flares on that thing I would say this one here
is probably not going to typically see a longer lifespan like you would get out
of you know they to 40 for example
pretty nice actually by the way look at this carbon fiber here and the black and
tailpipes pretty sweet car actually that is a sweetheart of a little car I must
say that might be on the radar too guys I love the way that's thing looks very
short and stout very aggressive carbon fiber inside on the - looks like DCT on
this one
awesome car again because of what its nature it's a very highly tuned highly
tuned straight-6 engine three liters in displacement but it's not the same
engine that you get any m3 or m4 I would say this one has a limited lifespan so
here's an x5 this one here looks like it's been kind of clapped out they put
some sort of extra little spoiler on the front of this tires flat again this
thing looks like it's kind of been left to die here I don't know what the story
is but of course looks like it's in need of some sort of repair you're still a
license plate on it I'm not gonna show you that but it looks like it needs some
work it's probably in here for the long haul I think I've seen this one here for
a while actually and then we have an x1 this is a good old fashioned x1 28 I
pretty generic car I know some folks that have had these and generally as a
rule most of the ex ones have been pretty dependable because either whether
they come in the 28i the 30i or of course the 35i which is harder to come
by with the turbocharged engine in it these the 28 and the 30i's would be a
lot more reliable and I would expect them to last a lot longer well what do
we have over here critter walking in the field there Cars like this the e90s
you know the general stuff the 325s like this one here of
course we have a 325 we know these are good for a lot of miles the e90s the
e46 is the e36 is all of the 325s are some of the best engines and most
reliable cars so these course you can get to 300,000 miles out of these cars
if you treat them right if you take care of and maintain them these will last a
long a long long time same with the e36 here I guess it's really really hard to
tell there's so many factors and variables going into whether a BMW is
going to last a hundred thousand or 200,000 or 300,000 miles
huge numbers of variables of course ultimately the biggest factor is the way
you take care of the car now of course m cars and turbocharged cars we already
know I talked about that briefly are going to have a compromise lifespan
normally aspirated cars typically will last longer but again most of this issue
comes down to a lack of maintenance or not so if you take care of your car your
car will take care of you now I also want to give a shout out in front of my
name Alex he's also got an e60 m5 in his own YouTube channel you make sure
you check him out he's linked in below I just want to give him a shout out he's
got a blue m5 and e60 m5 a lot like mine although his is I believe a little bit
newer but he's got some videos where he's got a dyno run where he did a dyno
run at a hundred thousand miles and he's proven that these cars can last a
hundred thousand-plus miles and still run well with those kind of K's on them
but at the end of the day a lot of you guys have asked me what about this car
what about that car are they reliable I've had a lot of questions in a lot of
my comments you know what about this the 750 or what about this you know 95 320
or you know what about this e46 so and so and this e36 that and
what about all these cars I'm getting a lot of questions on that which I love
those questions guys I would say as a rule again the biggest factor about all
of this is how well you take care of these cars yes there are some cars that
have a natural propensity for failure and that's why I talk about a lot of
these in there's a lot of these videos about some of these vehicles but
generally as a rule good maintenance results in a good car yeah like I said
you'll have to stay on top of some things I know when e60 m5 is a car I
choose to own because I love the sound the performance the looks the whole nine
yards but I've accepted the fact that I know it's not the most reliable car in
the BMW lineup and there's several reasons for that but you either accept
it or just move on and I would say as a rule maintenance is the most important
factor in securing your reliability of your BMW so everybody I hope you liked
it make sure you me a thumbs up like subscribe and I'd
love to see it on the next one see you then guys
