I NEVER Expected It To START So Well! The $1 BMW X5 Runs AGAIN
Finally! The $1 BMW X5 is going back together. We got most of the cooling system wrapped up 2 nights ago, now I just need to install the rest of it, fill it with coolant, and put the rest of the engine bay back together. It was pretty warm in KS today so I could feel my fingers which translates to real progress for once! Plus I drive the X5 for the first time in a month, and get the dirt out from under it.
Winner must be in the US and pick up the car.

Damnnnn JR I remember the days when you rolled up to O'Reilly's on your board and now you're rolling up in a platinum f250 🤘🤘
I am a disabled veteran who lives in Indiana i have been walking for almost 2 years. If you are anywhere close I would love to be considered. Thank you for the time and effort involved in making these videos and sharing them with all of us.
Well I can't afford to come out there or pay to ship it but I hope someone deserving and close enough pays their dollar and drives it home. It certainly coming together warehouse and the BMW 👍
The Milwaukee hackzall is easily my favourite tool. I’ve definitely not walked around my shop/property looking for things to cut.
ThanQ for filming
Always making it look so easy! That's gonna be a dope car for someone. The self filming content is always so raw and really portrays the determination you have when tackling projects. Love seeing the content and warehouse growing in such a positive direction.
The shop is coming along great. Very excited for how it's coming together, and with the attention to detail you provide. The BMW X5 for $1 will be a great cruiser for someone I know. Cool that's it's almost done.
I aint gonna lie, i started this channel when amberghini got the red geo tracker, and been here ever since, plus i learn so much on fixing or trouble shooting my own car
There's this guy, Samcrac, I hear he's looking for a cheap, dependable BMW and he's not having much luck.

Another great video on MY X5 stoked that I was picked at random , great content keep it coming bud
Glad you’re are doing good at the shop it looking good a lot better than it was
Pumped to have another shot at the X5! Thanks, JR!
Love it, just redid the expansion tank and mounting bracket for my e46. Been wanting an x3 or an X5 for me and my buddy to take to the mountains for so long! Looks awesome
Great content JR! The X5 would be so worth the road trip.
Love the videos can't wait to see the shop progress 😊
That truck sounds amazing. You really are giving this BMW a chance at a long life. Someone is gonna be very happy with that .
You put a lot of work into this X5, well done JR!
JR with all that you’ve got going on right now right now I do appreciate what you’re doing with the BMW drawing for a dollar. Somebody is going to be very happy! I hope it’s me because I have always liked BMWs. Thanks!
X5 is a great car! Thank you for content.
I ♥️ that you post late! When you can’t sleep you can always watch JR. I have a $1 hope I get lucky I haven’t had a car since June.
Nice job on the maintance👍
I would roll up my change jar and buy that beauty. Knowing JR worked in it, you know it's right!! Meeting JR would be the real prize, the BMW just icing on the cake.
I love these update videos
Yes a full detail in and out would be Awesome, ill pick it up when you want my Dolla!
Sweet. I bought a new ‘01 3.0 and loved it for 10 years. It ate ball joints, rear subframe mounts, and tires though.
Dude ill fly out next day to buy that beast. Great job JR. Love what you do.
God I want this car! Nice work JR!
I've learned so much from watching JR giving me confidence to do several jobs on my car myself.
I pray someone that is in true need wins it. God Bless you for fixing it and offering it for a buck .
Def excited to see this one come along. And good luck to anyone who is picked/wins.
Great content as always
Thanks for fixing my car ! Love it
That coolant tool looks so slick. I need to find one of those.
So satisfying to see a pressure washer on the X5 and see it back on the road
Your shop is really coming together it's going to be nice.
This is going to be an exceptional vehicle for someone. The vacuum fill never gets old.
John Ross you truly are the best Mechanic/Vlogger on KZread. What have you learned hanging out with Hoovie? 🤔😂😂😂
Car looks mint dude
That BMW looks really nice I hope whoever gets it is going to have amazing vehicle
Someone is getting a really nice ride.
Perhaps the person with the best story as to why they really need a car deserves to win it.
shop looks great!
Keeps looking better and Better....; love it for a dollar.......
very nice, runs great!
*probably already gave this away but i love these trucks! great littler rides*
I still have a dollar if you can't find the 1st choice.

I have an old 5 dollar bill that has a red seal on it. It’s old, can’t remember what year it’s from, but it’s at least 50 years old.
I needed another one of these to add to my other x5's.
Another great video man! Keep it up!
Amazed that a BMW with that many miles still runs!!!
If you are looking for a buyer, I’d baby that rig for the rest of its natural life. So very nice.
Looks great.
Thx for saving this good old BMW! Great video! I have a dollar and a plane ticket to Kansas.😀
Amazing how deep a vacuum that held.

I would fly out to Wichita to buy that BMW for $1. I would then gift it to my son that’s getting out of boot camp, and is starting his military career. Love your show! Gary
great vids love watching!
Thanks for the chance to win this !
It's bright now!
I would still love this X5.
Thanks for the update on the X5, the $1 sale/giveaway, and the ongoing upgrades at the "wharehouse".
That's a very nice Bmw
looking good
Yes please!
Love all your vids 🤙🏼❤️
I'd buy that for a dollar! 🤣 Also, to avoid running out of coolant when using that filler, just dump the bottles into a clean 5 gallon bucket. When you are done, just dump the leftover back into the bottles.

Spot on. I actually have a dedicated bucket (and large drain pan) at the shop for exactly this purpose. Anytime i drain coolant it goes in the bucket, and right back in the car (if applicable) when I'm done with the job. Pro tip: When pouring out a jug of coolant, poke a hole in the bottom while pouring. It pours faster, and won't gurgle and splash all over😉 Pro tip #2: When pouring oil, hold the container so that the opening is on top. It pours faster, and won't gurgle and splash all over😉

I still need that car bad! I will fly to KC for sure!
Gotta love the O’Rileys door ding! Ding Ding!! Jr I got a dollar for that Bimmer
I wouldn't mind having a bmw, I remember when you had that 3,5,7 series wish you kept those for drift projects but keep on making great content
Just dug 4 quarters out of the sofa! Ready to go!
My folks have one just like it!
if i won that beast... i would drive it back to maine. badass roadtrip
Great engine
Dude, you want the fan mounted to the fan clutch, and then install. The shroud gives enough clearance. Much easier. I did my 530, and my sister's old Range Rover that way. Good video. Keep up the good work!
Nice try on the wires Jared. Thanx for trying!
Colorado winters is worth a dollar!!! I'm in
I’d love to whip that car!!! I’m off to college in June/July and I drive a older truck and that would get way better gas mileage. Given my school is about an hour from my house and I work in Dallas Texas! Anyways! I know I have a dollar or few laying around😂 love the vids! And congrats on the new shop!
I always loved these cars but never had the money to buy one. I would buy that for a dollar maybe a couple of Dollars...lol One of my favorite series JR. keep it up.
I’ll pay for the shipping and handling John Ross! 😂😂😂
I could use the car but ultimately I want to see the warehouse (compound). Thanks for the entertainment!
keep it coming
I use an 1 1/4" open end wrench of the fan clutch. Close enough to a 32mm to work. I have never tried to take one off with that many mile before.
Thanks for trying to pull the wires again!
I will buy it for sure
Hey JR if you think about trying to pull that wire one more time get some of the wire lube from electrical supply house. We have to use it when pulling the wire through conduit. No way to pull it without it. Real slippery stuff you just put it inside the pipe it may work 😉
Id love to have it!
Having pulled old telephone wire bundles back in the day in old office building floors, the only hope you have is to try to flood the pipe with soapy or slipperly liquid. They used to use different types of slime to make the wire pulling easier, but over time the slime turns into more of a hardened glue. Even if that's not the case, one little twist or turn in the run can make the wire pretty well stuck for good, without some sort of friction reliever.
Love me some x5 I’ll drive up just let me know, thanks JR!
My jr gets so excited working on cars of any type
Looking forward to buying your BMW for a dollar. This Colorado dude would love to drive it up to the summit of Pikes Peak. Really enjoy your channel.
The 3 winner idea sounds like a good idea
