Love my n54. An 07 335i with 194k miles and still running strong🤗....hate all the HORRIBLE electrical issues that comes with it especially if you swap to led bulbs for the head and taillights😒

Unreliable? Sure, if you dont take care of your basic maintenance. Had a single turbo kit on my car for the past 15k miles with little to no issues because Ive stayed on top of my maintenance. These motors are sadly plagued by moronic owners who neglect taking care of their cars. Not overrated IMO, 700whp stock block + a banging 6 speed manual trans is perfection,

Bro it’s 2025, NOBODY should have an n54 and not do a Di delete. just go with port Injection, you no longer need those expensive index 12, or the hpfp. And stand-alone Ecus all support this.

The newer Audi Torsen C center differential is asymmetric, so the static front-to-rear torque split is 40/60. Up to 70% can be biased to the front and up to 85% to the rear.

B58 is now the new N54 and much more reliable sadly lol

3rd comment... I.just got a 08 535i n54 6spd, needs lots of manteinence parts

I’m second to comment on my friends video about German questionable but enjoyable engineering

I'm first ... To comment on my own video. About BMWs first Gasoline direct injected turbocharged engine

For the first time in 2025 ... I did it ... Im first

Once again as a disclaimer: *This is not the "correct" way to fix your headlight level sensor.* The zip tie method is simply a quick/cheap fix to get you by until you decided to replace the entire module. That being said ... The zip tie method worked problem free for 3 years on my S4 until I replaced it with a complete new module from ECS {before they started doing lifetime warranties}. So as always, use your critical thinking skills and make informed decisions that are best for you and your personal situation.

Also just want to point out. There are multiple haldex generations and versions. As such each and everyone of them have their own problem.

first?

Driving a Tesla feels Terrible! I've driven most of the high end cars on the market (for work. I would never buy one) I'll take any old car with a clutch pedal over a tesla every time.

You can have your opinion bud. I agree with you. Internal combustion is a lot more fun to drive and mod. In my observations; Half the people that brag about electric vehicles don't even own one or have a drivers license. I've driven both. Both are amazing in their perspectives.

Great informative Video Thank you very much

It might be the last video of the year, *but I'm still first*

Will a flash tunes void your warranty on a new bmw

I doubt another roadster will ever happen. The promised roadster has been announced every years for like 7 years straight now and there's like no proof they're even developing it at all, it's all smokes and mirrors. They'd rather make stupid looking trucks, robotaxis and bipedal useless flashy robots than improve their manufacturing and drop the costs. The affordable Tesla that's under 20k that has been promised is a non existent vaporware at this point, same with the Semi. Tesla is a company that hypes up, swallows the preorders, is never on time with the deliveries, under delivers or doesn't deliver at all. Musk is a ruthless business man, he manipulates the markets and lies constantly, he has no quarrels for his actions and his ego is beyond inflated, he basically brute forced his business and continues to fail upwards. Makes him an effective business man, but at the expense of the consumers, however the techbro cult that he has fostered basically neuters most of the valid criticism of his products. Just a friendly advice, take every word he spits out with a good spoonful of salt. That man is all about wealth accumulation and stroking his ego, if he actually cared for Tesla as a brand, Cybertruck would have never been made in the first place.

Teslas are not marketed as cars but as videogames on wheels. The company has an Apple-like business model, with a closed ecosystem and a dumbed-down user experience. Like Apple, it has to be said that they have achieved a cult following.

not good at building carsand boring WTF ?---ummm how many cars have a fireplace, dog mode, 5 cool light shows, santa mode, faster than a cheetah, whisper quiet and farts. Sentry mode, phone or watch key, safer, faster, smarter than 90% of thejcars on the road.

Of course, I'm watching this video as I'm a new tesla owner in Colorado. We also have two Honda Elements (so, not "appliance" but "utility") and a '69 Vette coupe (350/350) in Monaco Orange. We bought the Tesla because sometimes (as your video alludes), you just need a car. And in Colorado between incentives and price reductions, my 2024 Model Y Performance (MYP) cost me only a ridiculously low $25K. That's $30K off MSRP ! You just can't say no to that kind of deal. It's our second electric, the first being a 2017 Chevy Bolt. (Which left us via a very generous GM buyback. No issues at all, but when GM offered full purchase price back, again, couldn't say no. Four years of driving a free electric vehicle spoiled us!) The Model Y was attractive because it really is NOT a lot of what this video is about. It's fast, it's fun (I don't do self-driving) and AWD electric is GREAT in the winter to get to ski areas. (I say this from experience: I was a mountain host in Keystone and always was where I needed to be even with the FWD Bolt). The build quality question is totally not applicable: The Model Y has been in production for quite some time and on pickup inspection I couldn't find ANY flaws with fit and finish (and that is from a guy that is the son of a former Cadillac craftsman metal finisher.). We went for it specifically because of the "stability" of the design and yes, the price. Next year (2025) will launch the "Juniper" update of the Model Y, so that will raise new build concerns and surprisingly will not have the stalks that we are all used to having (blinker, etc). So we dodged that bullet. The Model Y will likely be around for us at least for 10 years. Same with the 1969 Vette. Different jobs, different tools. Not everything is a nail, not everything needs to be a hammer.

12:47 Anyone else hoping that button was going to pop? 😆

~20:00 I don't know when I've ever encountered a more blatantly straw-man argument. This is citing statements that almost no one is making. Even if Elon was absolutely pig-ignorant about auto tech, clearly his team are achieving one thing after another that speak for themselves. I don't see any point here that makes any sense at all.

For the vast majority of people cars are transportation, not a "series of sensory experiences". Most people want value & reliability above all else... a car that transports them to where they want to go. Quiet and odor-free is a good thing... EV's make sense.

The best assessment of the company I’ve seen.

The steer by wire on the cybertruck is a joke.

I hate Musk - and would never consider buying anything that he is a part of.

I thought they were not comfortable let alone luxury. When I hear Tesla is luxury, I just get flustered.

it's not just the driving experiance it's also the build quality, panel gaps , poorly fitted interior, ect ect. they are forgiven all their faults because they were the first ev to be properly usable.

Da fk he been smoking...Teslas are so much fun to drive.

Gas cars will always be with us in the same way that horse drawn wagons and steam locomotives still are.

😂 hilarious, as a car enthusiast for the majority of my life, Tesla is the future. The feel and performance is there and the experience is there if you can drive you can drive regardless of what you are in the experience comes from the track corners.

I’ve always been a car guy, own a Tesla now. What I see in the auto fan world mostly is “This is the way it’s always been & should always stay!” Free your mind & your ass will follow.

When I was a kid with a Datsun 280Z & was immortal I did kid thrilling things. I slid cars, drove under the influence, raced. Now it’s nice to go thru a corner at a higher rate of speed & not slide off the road. A quiet ride is way better than I thought it would be.

There’s something special about peering over to the car next to me and seeing some guy with “driving gloves” and a glued-on 10” high rear spoiler and, all I see is him gripping his steering wheel at “10 and 2” with this awkward look on his face. I get it though, I used to drive a Grand National and had that same look when some modified 911 smoked me.

So fast in a straight line but not as good around a track? Sounds like the original muscle car concept…

It's all relative. If we have this conversation 100 years ago, it would be: I like my horse over the Ford Model T because I like the way I ride it, etc. Dare I say 30 years from now, the same conversation will be: I prefer my cybertruck cause I wanna feel connected to the roads. There is no way I'd get into a flying car. 😂

Not sure where the right to repair stuffs comes from. Directions to fix things are available anywhere. I dismantled my old bimmer engine plenty of times-a tesla is much more simple. Ihave no issues with working on mine. U can also buy parts from the dealership, and install them yourself....Ev repair companies are popping up all over. U can get individual battery cells repaired, or even buy(upgrade) entire packs off of ebay for a fraction of the cost. The model S changed the genre- but it's only been around since 2012. Car guys have been doing ice car stuff for 150 years.

What i dislike in Tesla and other new cars is the ergonomics- touchscreen controls are an ergonomic nightmare and now putting signals as steering buttons, no,no, no. At this rate why not get rid of the steering wheel into touchscreen too?

well, never fear, Tesla will NOT exist in ten years the grift n scam is up, at best bought by a real car maker.

I am a car guy and i love Tesla. I just wish they did limited edition instead of overproducing everything.

Only a guy who has never driven a Tesla Model 3 RWD, can say it’s boring. I drove a stick shift all my life. Now I have just as much fun doing a canyon run in my Tesla Model 3 as well as my stick shift gas car. The Tesla Model 3 with generative braking is awesome going into a turn. Taking your foot off the accelerator pedal into a turn is like downshifting into second gear. Than full acceleration out of the turn is instant power, so exhilarating. You only get that feeling in a Porsche 911. This video is so wrong, it’s not funny. Just another Tesla negative propaganda hit piece, to try and bring Tesla share price down for short sellers. Good luck!

Nah I hate Tesla and Elon for completely biased reasons and I'm honest about that. But I do like EVs in general tho.

I have never owned a Tesla (but did have a CT reservation in until I saw the production model) but have ridden in a LOT of Tesla model 3 and Y Ubers and make a point to talk to the drivers about the cars. Once they hit 50K or so miles they feel like a 200K mile Kia or a 300K mile Chicago cab - loud, harsh riding, with plastic interior parts that are falling off. The drivers always comment that they like how they drive but the build quality is lacking and the service centers are pretty useless for road noise or "cosmetic" issues. I live in Austin and used to see a lot of new Teslas (paper tags in the back window) but see few just bought new ones now. I think between Elon turning maga, dropping the price so much just to make quarterly sales numbers that a lot of the existing owners are very upside down on the cars and are stuck with them for a long time, crazy high insurance rates, and a mostly stale model lineup, they are in trouble. Few maga "members" buy electric cars, the CT is not a "real" truck, just an interesting $80K plus sorta status symbol, and most of the green original EV crowd that I know would rather catch a nasty case of saber tooth crotch crickets and an IRS audit that be seen buying a new Tesla. My maga next door neighbor would be a perfect Tesla customer use case but he bought a new Tahoe instead. Another reason that I think that they are in trouble is I commute down Highway 79 and pass the rail depot between Hutto and Taylor about a dozen times a week that Tesla ships a lot of their cars from Austin through. I used to always pass half a dozen to a dozen car haulers each way and there were always a couple of haulers parked by the Sonic getting food. I is now surprising to see more than one or two a day between morning and afternoon. Between this and a lot of local rumors of reduced production they are not breaking any sales records.

Traffic is soooooo fun

Hagerty said the updated model 3 performance is the best driving car on the planet, I think he knows.

Tesla haters have an inferiority complex just like that dumb jock in your math class
