Hey there, I'm considering getting a 328i and had a few questions. Firstly, how would you describe the driving experience? Secondly, I'm interested in the cost of ownership - what are the typical maintenance and repair expenses each year? And how much does it cost to insure? As a first-time car owner, I'm not sure what to expect. Lastly, do you think the 328i would be a good first car for a high school student? And are there any specific pros and cons that I should be aware of? Thank you for your help!

Wow this is such a timely video. I’ve literally been trying to figure out if I should get rid of my 2009 528i with almost 250k miles and replace it with one of the newer cars with the B58 engine. Think I’m going to keep my E60 and just overhaul the engine. This thing has been such a tank and is still driving without fault. I just thought that it wasn’t worth investing money into a car with that many miles on it.

I drive for 6,5 years a 2007 530i, has 235.000 on the clock. Never let us down and still drives great. Dealer maintained. And yes pen bobines all 6 needed replacement a few years ago. Good, reliable and reasonable cheap cars.

281000 miles and still my daily driver. E83 2007. I’ve had every issue you mentioned.

I have a 09 328i with this engine. It has 271,000 miles. Currently, it's in the shop getting a new coolant reservoir and hose. I smelled a coolant leak and found the puddle. I recently had coil packs and plugs changed. Other than that, gas and oil over the last year. I don't drive her hard and she rewards me with a trouble free nice drive.

Hi Dean just wantend to tell you you are the reason I bought an N52 in the E90 andt it's been great! I was wondering if you could make a video about a strange issue I've been having The car runs superb for the first 5-8 miles when it's cold, after it warms up, there is hesitation and a definite loss of power 2800-4500 rpm. Since i bought it at 150k miles ive done new spark plugs, gaskets, new disas (febi) and vanos solenoids (pierburg) For codes, i have catalytic converter below threshold, both banks, 29F4 and 29F5. They keep returning..

You made me all nervous now....😂...I bought my 2008 528xi with 155k on it which I thought was insane and the car wouldn't get old. All I do is the regular oil and coolant changes....I am now at 175k with it and had nothing wrong with it in 5 years now.......I wonder how much longer my luck will last....

My 2011 F10 528i still running strong today with 216,000 MILES on the odometer with its N52. Oil changes every 5-6k miles using Mobil 1 Full Syn here in the US. I know some day the tranny will be toast but the engine is still running strong. Car is in dire need of bushings and I have the new check valves but cannot reach them easily with the heat shields which seem permanently attached in the engine bay.

Morning from over the pond Dr! Quick question for you. I have an 09 128i. During cold start the rpm will surge by about 200 rpm for about 8-10 seconds. Then it levels off at the high idle as it should till it warms up. I notice that at cold start, if i just blip the throttle, it immediate goes to its normal high idle as it should till it warms up. Otherwise car drives fine. With no codes. Any ideas?

So which one is best the silver cover one or the black cover n52? Here in Malaysia we got plenty of solver and black cover n52 cars in the market.

Love my n52 z4 3.0si. It doesn't have the craziest horse power but it is still fun with 255hp. Would love a little more but the n52 can't handle boost enough to justify it.

Dean, do you have any videos about options for CCC iDrive in an E90 where its faulty and what options there are if you just want to remove the whole unit and replace it with something else? Even if its something that doesnt use the iDrive display. Don't want to spend $1k+ shipping it off to be repaired. Most videos i have seen upgrade the display etc. but rely on the existing idrive computer unit.

i didnt have enough time to watch the whole video.. but would this problem also apply to the bmw 128i N52 engines?

Hi mate where can we contact you to get a tuned ECU for the 325i with 3 stage manifold in the U.K.? Cheers and keep up the great work

I've found valvetronic motor seals fail more than the actual cam cover gasket, the oil runs down and looks like it's the cam cover, clean throughly 1st and change just the motor seal before you go changing the cam cover gasket. If the leak comes back then change the cam cover gasket.

I need your help badly brother. My 2007 x5 overheated so much oil started dripping what I thought was the valve cover right under the valvetronic motor dripping onto the exhaust headers. I don’t see it leaking from the valve cover. I cannot see where it’s coming from there’s no room. There is oil inside the radiator fluid reservoir but the oil cooler unit is not leaking oil anywhere. It is totally dry around the oil filter. It’s only dripping right above the exhaust headers right below the valve cover so I don’t know if somethings cracked or if there is another gasket in that area that I don’t know about. Can you give me an idea of what the oil could be coming out of Oil is all inside the radiator fluid but the car still runs it just smokes. It does not seem like it has a loss of power actually almost seems a little faster it’s acting strange. My idol has been jumping up and down up and down since I put a cold air intake but I removed it and put a man filter. 0EM but it’s still jumps up and down I think maybe that it was not properly sealed when I put the cold air intake and dirt got in and ruined the throttle body or made it dirty anyway, I really need to find out where the oil is leaking from to fix it as soon as possible

I change filter on every oil change but the tick is a given with these engines. Not damaging anything but your ears

Pls what’s the difference between the black and silver cover N52 engine?

Black is plastic, silver is metal.

No bad BMW's, just bad owners. 2012 N52 here. I've done it all highlighted issues and recommended maintenance in the last four years except valve cover, gasket and Y-pipe. I paid the local expert import shop $1,300 A man has got to know his limitations (Clint Eastwood). Last on the list is starter motor. Not looking forward to paying my shop to pull intake manifold out.

Just bought a e90 325i with 160k with this engine & it drives mint. Found out it spent most its life been maintained by Munich Legends

Good man 👍 but explain to me what’s great about them maintaining it ? I don’t understand that there isn’t anything to be happy about that I mean you could do things the exact same as they do and probably with more care as it’s your car and you won’t treat it just like another customers bmw. I have never understood why people get happy about a garage maintaining it they do nothing different to anyone else what did they do give it some special formula everytime or something ? You know what I mean it don’t make sense 😅

@BMW Doctor 😅 the reason i am happy is because all parts that have been changed are with genuine bmw parts & the car has been clearly looked after. Yes, I agree i can do everything they can just ask my e46 😀, i work on all my cars myself. It's just nice to buy a bmw & all the previous work has been carried out by someone who knows bmw's
