As a BMW fan, I totally agree with Scotty on this one. These old naturally aspirated straight-6 BMWs were far better in almost every sense than the vast majority of new ones, particularly in terms of reliability. And even when something breaks down, the cost of repair is still relatively cheap due to simpler engineering.

These inline 6's are BULLETPROOF, affordable, easy to maintain and modify, and parts can be found everywhere in junkyards and damn near everything is interchangeable. Transmissions are solid as hell too, everyone says the obd1 325 getrag transmissions suck but ive never had issues with any, and the 96+ZF transmissions are strong asf and in a bunch of other BMW's. Diff is bulletproof minus the front bolt that always breaks (once you start to really race and beat these cars) but honestly its the best bang for your buck fun all around platform.

Damnit not the E36 tax is going to be stronger.

As I said in another video of yours, E36 BMWs are the best! I got 450k miles before the interior started falling apart. This is before they started adding all the extra crap that makes the car less reliable and they weigh less (by 1k pounds). As long as you do the maintenance these things last forever!

Old BMW straight-6 cars were still relatively simple to work on. I had a '94 E34 model 540i as my first car, loved it, but it was a V8 and couldn't fix simple power steering stuff without lifting the motor. I loved the power of the V8 but envied the simplicity of the I-6.

Always great information such as how to diagnose a transmission that has gone out. Enjoyed your review of the BMW. The 94’s and the model preceding this current model that are slightly more square shaped are my favorite convertibles.

Scotty knows his stuff. Even if youre rich never buy new its a rip off

Yep, I bought a 1999 BMW E36 328IC for $2k and the first thing I did was upgrade all the cooling system components since they are known for issues. I swapped all plastic parts to aftermarket stainless steel and aluminum parts. I have had zero trouble. I even swapped out my fading plastic headlights with glass headlights with the angel eys halo rings for safety. Older BMWs are very dependable as long as you maintain them and know what parts should be proactively upgraded.

Scotty, I have a 95 318i convertible 5 speed manual and I concur with everything you said. I do have an idle situation, so she runs a little rough when parked, but on the road, it's smooth. I put a new top on it and no more leaks.

Scotty what do you think about the older 1991 Mercedes Benz 190e! With the 2.3 engine?

Good job Scotty explaining that BMWs for the old ones like you said are good cars . As always good infoscary thank you always appreciate you Cynthia Medina

Had a 1974 BMW 525, when I was in West Germany in the US Army, back in the early '80's. That was a great car. Cornered on rails. I imagine, that the straight 6 engine in that '94 325 is a direct descendant of the one in my car. It was a smooth runner.

Woah! That’s surprising!

some of us are just like Scotty, why ? Im his age and learned how to repair all my own cars since 16 yrs old. So up till today I can rebuild my own motor, and Im a painting contractor. This comes over not wanting to tow a car to a repair shop that see’s you as a sap needing them for any price they quote you caus your stuck with them. Taking risks in life diving into your own repairs gives a sense of pride and immense confidence in your abilities. Take the risk of doing major repairs at home ( love youtube videos and those who share their expertise). My first rebuild of my 1985 Honda CRX motor was without help. It was the high fuel model and worth keeping. We are like Scotty because connecting with your car on this level allows you to self diagnose problems on the spot, even while traveling . Why wouldnt you want to know about your cars mechanical workings. Repair shops hate people like me, they detect Im asking questions they would rather not answer so they can inflate the quote. I know too much now, so I end up doing repairs to my own vehicle that most shops dont do anyway. Most shops do simple repairs, they arent into rebuilding motors. Start with a vehicle that is a second car you buy just to experiment on while you have a backup car. Learn something. Some of this stuff isnt that difficult, it just takes guts to try. My last repair was my 2000 Ford E250 intake manifold and gasket. It looked daunting to see all the stuff that needed to be removed before you get the manifold off. I did watch a video, but it was hard to see the steps he took to remove his manifold. Reason I did this work, the van isnt worth that much to pay 1,000 for a shop to do it, just as you do more and more of these repairs, your vehicle becomes reliable more and more that you do it yourself. Any other van might have too many problems on the horizon you cant forsee. After 10 yrs of ownership and my own buildup of repairs, Im confident so much more in this vans longevity. So when you think Scotty is cheap, that has nothing to do with it. New cars are expensive to buy, Id rather see less mechanically inclined people to lease less expensive cars and upgrade them every 3 years. You can lease for 185.00 per month a car like a VW Jetta, never pay for repairs and drive a new car so often.

Just replace the fluid and filter, don't do a flush.

Scotty, I have a 90 325ci that my wife used to drive and when she wanted an SUV stopped driving it. They were well made back then and pretty fast for the day. Mine is the E30 body I think the one you have is the E36. The only thing I didn't like with those is the plastic headlight assembly. The reason it has the plastic rear window is because they made the top fold up into the hatch compartment so when it's down it's not exposed or visible. I just polish mine with some plastic polish for convertible windows and coat it with a special plastic window protectant and it does well. The biggest problem with the BMWs is the dash cracking but it's better than GM or Chryslers I've seen cracking when they are just a couple years old.

I love my 1996 328i convertible. Manual with the hardtop, still looks fresh today.

I want to buy for my first car a BMW e36 convertible like this they are pretty good

They are solid cars and the ride is incredible ive owned 2. The only thing I would highly suggest is save up the money and buy the mishimoto cooling system upgrade for these cars. The number one cause of blown headgaskets on these beautiful cars is the plastic water pump impeller going out or a slow leak on the plastic side baffles of the radiator or bottom of the reservoir blows out. These cars have aluminum heads so if they overheat any little bit they warp some people get rid of them because of this so when you go buy one have the owner run it for 30-45 minutes enough time for the cooling system to show any worrying signs.

Scotty is getting fun cars now!

I had a 1995 740i that had 300K miles and the engine was still quieter and shifted smoother than my 3 year old Camry. It was just an endless parade of electrical problems. Most of them were actually easy to fix and the parts were cheap and available from Rock Auto. Had to get rid of it because I was moving cross country to CA for work.

Beautiful find Scotty

hello!

I remember when car leasing first started the selling point was and still is, you can drive a new luxury car every 3 years. Reality of leasing is it sucks money out of your pocket so you can look like good driving a car you can't afford. It's better to buy a 2 or 3 year old luxury car.

I agree mostly, but if you can't afford it new. U may not be able to afford it used..i.e. out of warranty repairs and maintenance.

Seriously, I just don't get why people lease.. Why would anyone pay $500+ a month for 3 years instead of buying an older version on the same car for less. At the end of the 3 year lease you won't have a car, but if you purchase used, you will have that car as yours after 3 years.

@@labornurse You can purchase a warranty for $2k that will last 3 years. I rather spend the $15k on a used car versus paying $500k a month for 3 years on a lease. At the end of the lease you have no car.

@@mamadouaziza2536 agreed. Plus with a lease you are bound to certain rules like limited miles. Something that can cost even more

Looks like you have made yourself right at home in your new digs. Glad things are going well.

Props for doing this video, Scotty.
