Lovely to see the E91 is still going strong. My E90 325i on a ‘55’ plate has just passed 404,000 miles. I bought it at 150,000 miles and to the best of my knowledge is still on the original clutch, gearbox and exhaust. It had the lifters done at 180k and other than that it’s mainly been suspension issues; springs, dampers, bearings, etc. that have caused me any bother. it’s a bit rusty now but it just goes to show these cars will do the mileage if serviced and maintained.

@@andrewgray1934 to each their own. It's less about progress and more about style of video. The reason I and some others watch this channel is for how it was / is presented. This new style just seems out of place with what is essentially the reason this channel (in my uneducated opinion) works so well - Simple to the point and honest. This style of video, while technically an 'upgrade' professionally, is off the mark and out of place here. Went from unique to generic and its a bit of a shame. No doubt a larger audience to cater for is a great thing but can't help but feel it's just a bit anti what this channel has been, up until now, all about.

I bought the Carly reader for my Audi at £80 and then found out I had to pay the same again in a subscription to make it fully work. It didn’t, things it said it could do wouldn’t work. A waste of money in my opinion and I sent it back and got a refund.

I've just noticed the step up in camera work apologies if it's not new and I'm just noticing but it's great. I love these cars keep them coming.

that was a beautiful car. one of the best examples of a older used car yet. amazing video, shots and angles and the way your were describing it throuhout. I actually watched it a few times. definitely try to sell it. such a clean example of a high millage car. definitely lots of life still left in it once all the issues are sorted out.

One of the best Diesel engines ever made!

Different angles on the drive was really nice! Only thing that I missed was you entering the car first time on first person, it feels more like we're with you. In third person it felt far like we didn't get to see the panel, lights, radio test and etc like previous videos, I missed that. But this format is very nice, congrats

Great video again man. Keep doing what you’re doing.

It's a breaker or a doer upper. The previous keeper did the right thing chopping it in - they avoided private buyers wanting a 16 year old car with no issues.

Just put some "Stanadyne" injector cleaner in the tank, I used it every other fill up and no smoke or EGR valve trouble ! AND do not let the level in the tank go below a 1/4 as the fuel pumps get too hot and burn out.

What I love about my e92 335d is the customisation. If you want a piece of spec you dont have, it's generally quite easy to install it aftermarket. Such as reverse camera as an example

one of the best diesel engines ever had a 530d with the same block. perfect for the motorway.....

Great video but I think I prefer the vlog format and you doing most of the filming yourself, felt more personal. Just my opinion:)

Another great video, Matt, and although obviously the subject matter was the Beemer, that XJ you have for sale is an absolute beauty.

Just bought a 330d e92 yesterday, still getting used to the turbo lag but the power when it kicks in is delightful! Paid a pretty penny for a good example with 65000 miles, what a coincidence you posted a video about one on the same day!

I looked at one very similar to this in Surrey in about April for about £3k. It was auto and it was only 110,000 miles but it was tatty. Too tatty, so I walked, but it was a joy to drive. That one you have there must be worth easily £1000 as it is. That is a fast car, and tragically as parts, worth a lot more dead than alive. (in the UK)

Starters always last 100-120k on e90's, I reckon your guess is spot on about it having problems.

The smoke issue could well be that the crankcase breather needs replacing. They get blocked up, a new Febi one is about £35 and they are fairly easy to change yourself watching a KZread guide, and you may as well change the air filter whilst your at it. I did mine on my 320d E90 M47 which is almost the same to work on as the 330d M57 just with two less cylinders. Cured my smoke upon acceleration problem.

Excellent and interesting. Great channel that's getting better all the time, cheers Matt.

Had one of these, same year. Less miles and higher spec, but hands down best car I have owned. Miss it. Air filter is a bitch to change, and glow plugs can cause some issues. Starter is a nightmare to change too. For touring it really is effortless.

Hey Matt, it would be great if you also add to your videos more details and more people - mechanic interactions, etc. This will allow you to tell a more complete story, and I am sure that your 195k people crowd will appreciate longer videos.

I completely agree with you, the car is still worth more because of the state is in, and yes in Spain it would be lot more expensive, probably you would only get the set of wheels for that money. And every time that I see an engine of that kind I always think that a proper repro would make it run better and make it last longer. I would like to have that car here in Sweden for a lot more than what you paid.

330d is a beast of an engine

I had a 535d from that era and I was fixing something every week: mine was 10 year old, full dealer history and 1 owner with 80k. You’ll need a new micro switch for the tailgate which is about £50. The central locking not working could be water in the module which is under the spoiler on the tailgate. The blower motor is an easy swap under the glove box. Keep an eye on the rear lights as the wiring is routed thru the hinges for the tailgate, they’re a common fail

I still think these and the e60 5-series BMWs are the best they have ever made (apart from the e39 m5, which in my opinion is hands down the best BMW ever made). I just recently drove a brand new 2022 540i and I would still rather drive the old raggety e60 530d with 300k+ miles (yes, we have one in the family). The heavy steering you are "complaining" about is what makes it such a great car. You feel the road really well instead of being able to do everything with your pinky and feel nothing at all. Also, the engine in the 330d is basically bulletproof if you look after it and the gearbox seems to hold strong too. Obviously the e9x 330d is an expensive car to maintain, but then again it is one of the best cars ever made.

Love the new style of video top job!

Exactly, and when like mine they reach quarter of a million miles without issue you know they are basically indestructible! If something hasn't killed them by now it never will kind of thing (engine-wise)

Blower motor failures are usually due to the resistor unit, which for my X5, was less than £100. The key fobs are supposed to charge when plugged into the dash, so may just be the battery. Oil change intervals for BMWs (and many other manufacturers) are often on the high side as they like to woo the fleet market and this reduces service costs. Some windscreen cleaner on a cloth can be used to clean the wiper blades, that may sort the noise out there. And bonnet cables snap, as they do on many cars, fix it before it gives up altogether.

🤣so true👍

Difference in quality noted. Amazing job by videographer.

What a bargain! Great video again. Not sure about the camera work, takes a bit of getting used to this format but excellent content as always

I just got a 2006 330i in the US, and almost all the front end clunks went away with new sway bar links; super cheap fix and only requires basic tools 🤷‍♂️

Another interesting video Matt. I had a 2006 320d saloon and it was a fantastic car, although I do think the touring 320d is a much better looking car. Definitely worth more than £500.

A petrol engine is lighter, can rev higher, has more power and doesn't smell absolutely awful.

Loved the squeaky blades keep em coming really amusing cheers 👍

I loved my 2005 convertible 330d the shape before that worst thing I done was to get rid. I hated the Carly I had one and was expensive and does the same thing as a free OBD reader.

that scanner is amazing. Sometimes technology can be useful.

It’s too much of a car to scrap mate. I appreciate that there doesn’t seem to be any profit in it but it would be a shame to scrap it.

Nice! It looks really good. Love the touring.

Perfect timing as I’m currently about to buy a 330i 👍👍
