    I actually love the vehicle. When I was a member of BMWCCA I would get all my helpful service hints from the club magazine which likely is all virtual now. I might still have the service books which set me back I think 700 dollars. The books are expensive. The wiring harness connector in the door jamb is best cleaned and dielectric grease applied. I would replace the water pump and radiator right away unless it was replaced recently. And timing belt, tensioner to, unless the cam is on a chain.

    Hi Mr Scotty , I have a 2021 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 efi (kick start) model motorcycle. It is a very good bike. But on 2 occasions , My motorcycle stops for no reason as if it is running out of fuel , in a full tank of Gas. And once after a long 15 km ride , I went to have a cup of coffee for 5 min and then tried to kick start my bike but did not start for 5-8 kicks. Then suddenly it starts on the 9th kick. Please help me find a solution for this. Desperately need your help. Thank you.

    My trick is I get slightly used cars ( around 2-3 years old with under 30k miles). They tend to drop about 40% in price and if kept for just a Few years and sold again you tend to loose only about 10%. However My last car I did this too I bought for 29k and sold for 31k after 4 years of owning it, so can’t complain with that.

    When I was born (in 2005) my dad had a 1986 BMW 535i. It was rusty as heck (being in Michigan), and was super loud, but it was awesome. He got rid of it in 2007 because he couldn't drive it in the winter (RWD, and he couldn't even get up our driveway, which was not steep), and got a 2000 Honda Civic DX Coupe. Fun times with the BMW, I wish he still had it. he LOVED that thing. My mom, in 2005, got a brand new Hyundai Tuscon. The car I was driven home from the hospital in. I guess that's where my deep hate for Korean cars comes from... but before that, she had a 1985 Audi 5000. A much better car.

    I think the most annoying thing about my father's 1988 model 525e is the weird battery. Dad called the automobile association to investigate the crook battery, and the patrol sold him a new one on the spot for just over AUD$500. In my 1999 Camry, I keep using the OEM model Century which has a list price of $200 but can sometimes be bought cheaper because most auto parts shops stock it. 7 years lifespan every time.

    The reason the battery is in the back right is to offset the weight of the driver. All 4 cylinder models have the battery under the hood on the passenger side, all 6 cylinder models have it in the rear right corner. And there are all kinds of different batteries that will fit back there.

    Once again, RESPECT to you, Scotty, for not being a brand snob and telling like it is. People may think you hate BMWs and Toyotas are the only cars you prefer, but this is a perfect example that a good car is a good car and time/period is more of a factor in how the car is built than the brand. The E30 series is a true classic!

    Scotty has a religious zeal against snobbery in all of its forms. He keeps his mind on the primary purpose of a motor vehicle, which is to move people & things. Breakdowns ruin the functionality. Having fun while driving is a bonus. Paying top dollar for a car in which to pose is a foreign concept to Scotty.

    We've got an '87 325ic (5 speed manual) that my husband bought new. The dealer went to Germany, bought it there (drove it on the Autobahn) and had it shipped over. It's been a good car. I've started driving it again recently and remember how much fun it is to drive a manual.

    I'd even go as far as to say that pre 2010 era BMW aren't bad as reliability goes. I own an E46 (1999-2006) and they're notorious for being one of the last well built BMWs. The motor is butter smooth, and I haven't had an issue I didn't fix myself since owning the car - yet (knock on wood). As soon as they ditched the straight 6 for their little turbocharged 4 cylinders, is when I'd draw the line.

    That is a BMW anyone can work on. Don’t forget the timing belt which is an easy job for Scotty. I was a BMW enthusiast for these E30s starting at sixteen back in 1998 when I got my first one. That enthusiasm for BMW stopped around 2012 with all the planed obsolescence BMW engineered into their vehicles. I was able to regain the enthusiasm by going back 3 decades and picking up an old reliable BMW with the M30 straight six. They really did know how to make them in Deutschland back then.

I think it’s good because it shares some engineering from the original 2JZ engine which should make it reliable and solid.
