I agree with Ninja: the warning lights are probably burn out from overuse.
More like fuses pulled
At least do a scan on it and find out the other things that are wrong with it.
Warnings shows up in iDrive not just the cluster.
No, you saw them light up when Hoovie started the car up in the begining of the video
@@stlswagger No, it doesnt work like that. These cars are quite advanced, and you just cant pull fuses to turn of warning lights
The BMW logo must fade after 7 years, so the owners know their car has fully depreciated and needs replacement. It's the same technology as they use in toothbrushes
😂😂😂
There must not be a fix to the issue because Ford and KIA have the same issue with the paint on their badges fading away.
XD You made my day XD
@@TheCobruhAlienat0r in KIA it is not a bug but it is a feature. KIA have 7y guaranty so You know when its over even You no looking in to papers ;)
Hahaha
Hoovie - "It's going to cost more than I paid?"
Johnny - "Oh yeah"
Oh Yeah with a big Ninja smile
And he cannot even go to Weezard for a second opinion. 😁
Johnny: 10:51
That goes without saying. The real question is will it cost more to repair than the cost of a similar one in good condition.
Yeah… not the wisest thing to say to a mechanic/businessman, IF you care about your money. Hoovie’s making enough dough not to worry about piddly $5k.
The 4.4 is a very easy engine to work on. It’s not hard to pull these motors and reseal them. I buy these all the time. I plan on pulling the engine and replacing the valve stem seal, timing chain guides (maybe the chain), coolant pipe, timing cover gaskets, valve cover gaskets, and alternator bracket seal for every one I pick up. It’s a weekend job at an easy pace.
I'll pay you to fix mine lol pay flight to NH need my seals done 650 i
@@603adventures9 I doubt you have all the tools I have and organized in the same way I do.
is the same on the 4.8 thats on the 650's?
@@ROmaniac21 yes, the n62b48 has the same issues
@anonymous-jf4lc do u have a channel doing these jobs? Im looking to pick up a 650i and would love to do this preventative maintenance
I hope you hit 1.3 million! If not, send it to Germany, I know a guy who knows a thing or three about these neglected turds.
I'm pulling for you!
But would you want it?
Love your channel, but please don't touch this thing
Now that is something i'd like to see!
Favorite neglected turds are either of your E32s or that E21.
Go for it! Jeremy Clarkson described the styling of this very car, like the artist was drawing a line and then all of a sudden died in the middle of the stroke. That's a good enough reason alone!

I have to agree it isn’t much of a looker in my opinion.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@SamtheCarGuy 06 you are under arrest by the grammar police
The rear of the car is perfectly designed, so that when it breaks down you a good grip when pushing it. :P
😂
😂
And push it you shall.
04 750Li with the liquid cooled alternator I worked on cost $1015 our cost in 2010.who design’s this stuff
We used to say similar about Skoda's prior to their VW buyout.
Why does a Skoda have a heated rear screen? To keep your hands warm when you push it!
When your BMW mechanic says "Why?" that's not a good sign.
If the ninja only works on Asian import cars!
He was like only oil change and basic maintenance
I can’t pay rent
I’ll sick with Germans cars
When your mechanic greats you with the word “Why”? You know you’ve royally screwed up! 🤣
I know right? His reaction is priceless! 😁
When the person that literally makes money off your bad choices questions your choices, you know you have a problem.
I'm of the opinion that the emblems are designed to fade intentionally, since the cars fall apart quickly BMW doesn't want people recognizing the brand when hoopdied.
In the 80s BMW bought millions of those emblems nd they still have stock that they use.
🤣
Clever lol I would never have thought of that
they have a nice patina when they hit the 20 year mark
Part it out . The one in Ninja’s shop needs a top . Sell the 3 remaining rims for 600 and the cats for 2 grand and give the money away.

Yeah, you know you're in trouble when your mechanic just shakes his head and asks, "Why?" when you pull up in a newly-purchased car. LOL! That made me laugh too hard, probably.
I watch this channel to hear Hoovie say: “Urination-Bob”
I always hear urination and not euro asian. xD
I'm always so confused when he pronounces it that way

@@mattrobinson5099 or is it Euro nation? Idk
I like to see Hoovie going back to his roots of buying the cheapest, crappiest used luxury cars and dumping tons of money into them for our entertainment.
I'm currently between cars. I totaled my Ghibli a couple months ago. A pillar of the community with a promising future stole a car and ran a red light going 80. It tore the front nose of my car completely off and broke both front axles. A witness to the accident told her husband to not stop and help because no one could have possibly survived that crash. Needless to say, I did with relatively few injuries. After the crash, I was able to simply open the door and get out. Yay to Maserati for designing a safe car! Unfortunately the pillar of the community with a promising future who ran a red light in his stolen car needed the jaws of life to extricate him. Immediately after the crash when I was able to think straight I checked on him. He wasn't wearing a seat belt and it was bad. I'll never unsee that.
Karma is a cruel mistress sometimes

Th fading emblem is a "timed" feature built in. By 100,000 miles, when the car has fallen apart and is blowing smoke they don't want others to be able to tell what kind of car it is.
Adjusted for inflation, this is a well above 6 figure car. Falling to pieces by the time it hits 100K on the clock is criminal.
"The Bangle Butt gave you something to hold onto" yes, while you pushed it to the next service station.
I never understood the freakout over this car's styling, I like them. Look great in my driveway!
Some say it's gorgeous, others that it's ugly as sin 😊. I own a 2010 E63 630i coupé and love it.

@@stevendaleschmitt haha def!
The faded badges are to let you know your BMW is expired and needs to be replaced.
Kind of like the battery life indicators on some AA batteries-lol
This may sound bad, but, I used engine oil stop leak for one complete oil service of about 5k miles. My hope was to expand the valve seals enough for it to stop smoking. I haven't ran the stop leak since and the smoking stopped. A friend of mine tried it and it also stopped the smoking. It doesn't cost much to try it.
2:57 people don’t realise that BMW actual designed that rear and with BMW reliability in mind so you hands would fit perfectly for pushing your broken down BMW to the side of the road.
Hahahhaha this one cracked me up 😂
Ninja's also only a few Hoovie's BMW mistakes away from getting his own yatch.

Nice 😂
I remember a time when BMWs with a straight six and a manual transmission used to be high quality and would last forever. What the hell happened to the company? Overly engineered garbage with a bunch of unnecessary tech that craps out as soon as the warranty is over.
Someone upstairs said, " our repair revenues are nothing compared to Chrysler, how can we improve that?"
Unnecessary tech sells. I'm old school.
BMW was already making crappy V8s at that time.
M60/M62 with the timing chain guide failures etc.
While they were making awesome M5x series straight sixes which were super reliable
same story for AMG and AUDI. Only Porsche has maintained it's reputation on sports cars and then their SUVs are rubbish too
The majority of that repair price is valve seals and gaskets. I'd hardly describe them as "unnecessary tech" - every car has them.
Fixing this would be akin to getting back with your ex. DON'T Do it.
He should video it being crushed and cubed.
But what if the ex always gave you the best rides of your life?
@@dallysinghson5569 Hump and dump.

I really love the stile of the series 6 BMW. It has this more simplified vibe.
you know it’s bad when even Johnny asks ‘why’
Sell it for parts, or drive until the engine grenades it self.
-Subs with wife's account, one closer to 1.3m subs.
Or suffer.
Hoovie should take all his BMWs and enter a demolition derby.
He should take one of his hooptie beamers to the 24h of lemons race
Ah yes, the “Bangle Butt.” If his career had taken a different path, we might be talking about “Mercedes Bunz.” ;-)
Seriously, I think this is a nice old car that just needs some TLC. But then I can be really generous with Hoovie’s money.
Alfa Arse or Fiat fanny were also possibilities.
He might’ve been able to save Pontiac. And we’d have a decade of less ugly BMWs.
The funny thing is that it's not even designed by Chris Bangle.
It's actully Adrian van Hooydonk, that's responsible for this and the 7 series.
@@Orcawhale1 That's true, but Chris Bangle was the head of design at the time.

By the very same car brand new and it drove beautifully. The design of the convertible has held up beautifully. It's not a difficult engine to work on. When you consider what 70's era. BMW 2002s are going for, these cars start to make sense.
Start saving some old Saab's Hoovie.
hell yes
At least they are reliable.
And Saabs are worth saving. Let this BMW die.
That's just what the world doesn't know it needed, a Saab story from Hoovie!
... and out the door I go
Agreed. Quirky and amazing cars. For me, they are underrated. Reliable cars and from what I know Hoovie actually likes Saab for their quirkiness.
When Ninja facepalms as soon as he sees it...priceless!
Did you notice there was another one next to it in his shop?
Lol yeah cuz he knows he’s going to have to fix it and can’t send him away xD
"In the bin!" to quote mighty car mods.
God that shtick got old real fast.
My son was wishing he could find a deal like that and thinking how cool it would be to drive it to school, until he heard how much the repairs were going to be. He takes his driving test Tuesday. He has a lot to learn about life and hopefully avoiding deal's like this one.
you know its bad when the Ninja goes "WWHYYY" Enter it in a demolition derby and put it out of its misery

I’ve got a 650i and have had some of these repairs done as well. The good news is there are a few aftermarket options for the valve seals that seem to sure up future issues. Been going for 18 months strong as a daily; All in all, It’s worth it

I have a 2005 645ci. It has gone through the works mechanically speaking. Just 3 months ago - alternator bracket leak, valve stem seals, timing chain cover leak, head gasket leak, new AC compressor, Oil change and new battery. They pulled the motor out and fixed everything. It was 6200 bucks at AGA in Escondido, Ca. I have rattle canned both the front and rear bumpers in the past and they look fine. Car has 140k miles on it. All these cars have the same problems. Aside from the leaks and normal wear they perform well. Or you can spend 8k on a nice used Honda.
Just for no CEL I’d say it’s a survivor. I’m all in! Rescue her and she’ll make a good driver!!

I just repaired the valve stem seals on my car, engine doesn’t have to come out. AGA tool gets it done a lot quicker. That said, with the awful alternator bracket leak…might as well pull it and do a full reseal.
Personally speaking I love that hoovie saves so many hoopties. There's so much waste in society and it's even nicer when he gifts them to someone deserving. The ninja benefits with income and hoovie earns some RUclips add money. What's not to like. FIX IT! FIX IT!

However, his stories about the exorbitant repair bills and the many times I saw the 535i on a flatbed, plus our monthly (bonding?) trips to the mechanic spooked me. Had I kept it the car, it would have ended up like this one (in need of repairs I couldn't or wouldn't afford, so I sold it to his best friend.

Seriously crap cars. My first car was a 2005 civic with 100K miles. I managed to get another 100K miles out of it.

I used to buy and sell Corvettes and decided to branch out into Beemers. One of the top three mistakes in my life (the other two involved women).

Not a crack or chip anywhere.

Yes u should save this BMW because u can do a sick build on like widebody, aftermarket head and rear lights, big Wang, FI exhaust, canards and diffuser for front and rear.
Beside from the Chris-Bangler-Styling it would be a nice car. If repaired. Price for mechanical repair sounds fair, then fix the interiour (seats etc) and voila, there is an oppulent car with lots of luxury. And then - take care of it. Most people don't do this and that's why cars like this occur in that state.
