    This vid made me proud owner again !! Had e65, had e61, naw got an 05 e53 160kw, all 3.0d , all of them same problems: cracked manifolds, vacuum pumps, old ccv, old oil and filters been in there for ages, had them replaced by myself, still got a lot to learn about them but they run like a dream, seems so simple to get the job done on these engines, i love to bring them back to life, it feels like you get the proper reward after you drive them. And the parts, omg if you know where to find them, you get away so cheap. Some ppl just want to get rid of them for few quid when they see they smoke and see the costs to maintain them on garages , they're scared, but sit back and enjoy while buying really well build bmw for nothing, good for us😅 Keep up the good work !

The parts are relative to anything else out there... maybe a little more. Doing the work myself is far easier than other cars I've worked on. In the end, it's not a big deal if you put the time in.

    Thank you BMW Doctor! If I may ask you one question: Im picking up a 2007 525i. The previous owner just replaced the transmission solenoids, as the second gear solenoid was bad and he decided to replace them all. Upon putting the transmission back in, the car wouldn’t start (car ran perfectly fine before he removed the transmission). It doesn’t crank or anything. He then proceeded to replace the starter, and it still won’t start or crank over. So he gave the car to me and I’m going to try to figure out the no-start no-crank issue. My question is would you know why it’s not starting? Are there any fail safe’s this BMW has that I should know about which is preventing it from cranking or starting? Fuses? Relay’s? Thank you.

    Your channel is great - has helped me with several things. I have a new problem with my E60 which is giving me fits, though. I get random electrical problems - windows all roll down on start up, servo-mech failure comes on and power steering goes out but warning disappears after a couple of minutes and if I stop the car all goes back to normal, I get the engine malfunction warning (reduced power), but again, I shut the car off and on restart the problem is gone. Doesn't happen everyday, just random times but at least once a week. Have connected my scanner, but no faults with any of those systems show. Can't tell if it's a wonky control module or bad ground wire or what. Any ideas for what could cause this are appreciated. Thanks!

    nice dean just bought a 2008 BMW 550i and the mechanic said it was "in perfect order" checked it out no leaks but as i drove home the system pressurized with a slow drip of coolant that i didnt catch at the time of my inspection which overnight turned into a puddle of coolant ( checked oil pan, valve cover, water pump etc) i ended up getting a 200$ check back from the seller to cover the cost of what i found out to be leaking was the valley pan gasket. i also got a code for knock sensors which actually led me to the vALLEY PAN. my hunch was the valley pan was leaking hot coolant and frayed up the bank 1 knock sensor and sure enough i was right. i replaced the valley pan gasket, intake manifold gasket, fuel inject o rings, knock sensors with GENUINE BMW PARTS! and also the coolant reservoir after i re pressure tested the system and found out it was leaking, after all those i re pressured system to 22 psi and it held without a single leak. NOW I GOT A SOLID RIDE FOR 6000$! its a 2008 BMW 55OI M-Sport LOADED it was 75k in the states new in 08! very happy with the car it was alot of work but its good now! also it just had a used trans with 50k put in. total miles are 140k now, solid cars man

    You guys are off your rockers to compare these BMW’s with Japanese cars in terms of reliability, you don’t understand what reliability means, a Toyota will go hundreds of thousands of miles before you get anything substantial fail in the engine/gearbox, I love BMW’s, Japanese cars are e nothing (except Lexus) in comparison to an E60 but in terms of reliability there galaxies ahead of them, because they’re simply engineered & overbuilt where as BMW’s are over engineered, complicated & modern ones are cheaply built, ofcourse a modern bmw can be reliable.....if you keep fixing it, just like a FIAT, you hardly have to touch a Japanese car to keep it going, can abuse it, not service it regularly & it will keep going on, in the Far East I’ve seen very old Toyota’s where the body is in shambles, cracked almost halfway down the length of the car, barely holding onto the chassis, interiors falling apart, large holes in the floor you can put your foot through, but the engines refuse to give up, & they operate in harsh, dusty/extremely hot conditions, owned by people who cannot afford to “maintain” them, but they won’t die. A BMW is reliable if you can fix the unreliability out of it, just like any other unreliable machine, but in no way is a reliable car.

    Missing my E34 - which I never should have sold. Had it over 6 years and was one of the most reliable cars I've ever had & I've had a few. Love the look of the Bangle designed E60 but was put off by all the negative reports of electronic issues & so on. Wonder what year and engine you might recommend - pre or post lci - to avoid too many issues? Pretty good at DIY maintenance & I don't mind working on my car - but not all the fxxxing time!

    Can I pick your brains about a weird audio issue with my 2005 630i please. Only the rear speakers work, not the front. There’s no gong noises or chimes for open doors etc too. Lots of reading suggests the amp, I’ve had a look and it has been replaced already by the looks of it last year. Any idea ?

    Amen brother! I love my 2007 550. I hope to have it another 5+ years. Just fantastic. Complex, yes, but was way ahead of its time. An engineering marvel. Yes, I replaced my transmission, yes it has the valley pan issue, yes it needs the valve seals replaced - but 14 years later I still love it and know it is worth working through the issues. Crazy awesome to drive!!!

    I had a e60 520d 2006 and did 300,000 miles on it. Serviced it well and replaced any parts with originals. Few little issues, I.e. airCon, or fan, or battery. Paid £9k for it, 10 years later sold it for £2k. So the 2.0d is not a bad engine in my experience, if you use it what it is meant to be used for, long journeys, economy + comfort. I’ve bought an x4 2.0d G02 now - and will treat it with respect and I’m sure it will do well also.
