How to find and buy older BMWs | My methods to finding the right one!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I get asked this a lot so I wanted to make a video on how I go about finding old bmws to buy. This applies to buying any bmw and any car for that matter, but especially focusing on the classics that are harder to find. Talk about my methods, where I find them, and how I go about buying. I hope this is informative to some people!

We still have my grandfather's Mercedes W109. Those cars cost more to fix than they are worth so everyone who does it is in it for the passion as an enthusiast. My gripe with the young BMW crowd is they slam and stance an e30 or e34 then think it's worth more than an original car cause it's modded. Sorry buddy you ruined it.
Nice video, good tips all around. In Canada our worst enemy is rust. A clean car is usually a good buy. Parts (even an engine) can be swapped relatively easily, can't say the same for bodywork!
Good stuff my dude!

Appreciate it!!
Searching for a car online is like searching dating sites. You have to assume most sellers are lying about something. And since most transactions are at arms length, “as is”, it’s a real gamble. You need to see the car in person or, if it’s too far away, have someone you trust, inspect the car and the title. Carfax or other title sites are necessary. Too many “I’m selling it for my friend or relative “, with the sellers name not on the title. Even fake titles are a serious problem with bank liens not acknowledged.
This helped
good video bro!

Can you make a video or just respond with how to get my parents to let me get something stick for my first car? They are worried that manual will be too much of a distraction.

A manual car is actually a lot less distracting because it forces you to be focused at all times. You're a lot more aware of what's going on around you because you're more connected with the car and driving in general

A manual transmission is the opposite of a distraction. Having a manual transmission forces you to be more alert and aware of your surroundings as your the one in control of the car, the car isnt doing anything for you. With automatics driving isnt really engaging which can cause you to take your focus off the road and not be completely aware of your surroundings. The only thing that makes driving dangerous is the idiots on the road who cant drive properly. Having a manual transmission will make you better at judging situations and allow you make quick decisions that unalert drivers cant. Hope this helps!
