![DON'T BUY A BMW UNTIL YOU WATCH THIS! [Part 2]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/XELuLzH_Z0E/mqdefault.jpg)
A lot of people have been asking why the octane rating in the US is so low compared to Europe. In the US we use a different rating system called "Anti Knock Index" while in Europe you have "Research Octane Number." 91 octane US is the equivalent of 95 octane EU. In the US, most gas stations offer 93 octane which would be about 97.4 in Europe.
In south Africa it's only 95
I liked your video, but I certainly disagree with you about 93 octane in the U.S. MOST gas stations do NOT offer 93 octane. Here in California, "premium" is 91 octane AKI and you have to search diligently for 93 octane. Few stations sell it. I travel to Colorado fairly often, and the octane levels are even lower, because of high altitude. "Premium" is 89 octane. I don't know where you'd get 93. In almost every metro area you will find 100 octane at a few specialty stations (I think Sunoco is most common), but you have to do your research to find out where they are. They're not going to sell higher than 91 at Arco or Chevron!
In the eastern half of the country 93 is the standard high test octane available most states except Maine.
@@desertpair2 It's been a while since I've been to CA. Here in the midwest, almost all gas stations sell 93. It would be unusual to find a station that doesn't have it.
Best thing about this video is seeing the price of GAS, back in 2017, also in USA.
Compared to me locally where I run my car on 95 (we have 91, 95 and 98 options or E85 for ethanol cars in NZ).
95 where I live is currently as of 26/04/2019 $ 2.30/L NZD which translates to approx $1.52/L USD at current prices!
People complain about the price of the cheap sludge (AKA 91) petrol since its over $2/L ^_^
Even if your "USA 91" is the same as 95 here $2.90usd is $4.38 NZD/L People would shit a brick if the pumps charged that!!!
You could run your car on 98 here at just under $3.00 NZD/L or on ethanol $3.05/L , and it would be close to 2/3 price of the USA's petrol !!!
How does $1.98USD/L for USA "93" Petrol or ethanol sound Justin? ^_^
Ethanol is super hard to find though, most race tracks may have it but on the roads most car lovers can only buy 98.
BMW is so comfy and it is worth every penn, But u gotta treat it right so it last long with u.
My first car was a 1775 Horse-Drawn Chariot.
Brahhhh I feel you👊
kilojoule11 yes you are old. We get it
Horse drawn dam u must be rich mine was human powerd
@@mrsplicer7343 underrated comment 😂
My first car was a B.C. dog-drawn sled.
Alaskan made
6:05 lowkey sounds like you’re spitting bars it
JCTV lmao😂😂
oh my god thank you for this
andy trevino no problem bro 😂👌🏼
JCTV LOL yesss omg spit that fire Justin
That sounded so good lmfao
Please excuse the leaf on my shoulder, I had just mowed the lawn prior to shooting. It’s been a long weekend 😩
Justin Buice what car would you like to get next?
Hey need your help.. my brother is giving me his 2006 325i E90 since he got out a new one.. the problem is the back bumper, the trunk are hit pretty bad.. also needs work on the front bumper & hood.. I need your help or anyone's help to get replacement parts THAT FIT THO... any websites, ebay or Amazon places that would help OR ANYONE THAT IS SELLING.. if there's any cheap more Morden kits I would rather get since am replacing the whole bodykit. I would love to get the M3 Style .if not then Original would be fine... but only if they FIT OR VERY LITTLE MODIFICATIONS PLEASE...
So true.. A cheap BMW is an expensive BMW. I learned that the hard way.. But hey! I'm almost done fixing it! And parts aren't even that pricey.
I always say buy what you want and don't look back :)
Amen
Hell yea! My first one is 335i convertible ! No regret
Always did this and I never regretted my 2006 325i💙
vn01208503 how has it been treating ya
True
Maintenance maintenance maintenance is the key to keeping your bimmer out of the shop!
I bought a 2008 5 series as my first car at 17. 75k miles, no accidents or big issues at all. Right now I'm at 80k, I've had the car for about 4 months with no issues. My advice if anyone is trying to buy a used BMW- be sure the previous owner(s) have detailed record of scheduled services, oil change etc. it's not worth the risk to buy one and realize there are issues later down the road. That being said, I would absolutely recommend a bmw as a first car if you can afford it.
Alex E how much is your monthly inssurance?
Jolo Canlas a little less than 175
I am 20 and planning to buy a bmw 3 series 328xi (coupe) with 112k miles, im kinda worried about my insurance would gonna be
Jolo Canlas gotcha. A lot of it depends on things like your insurance company, plan, etc. I do know that if your on a family plan it is considerably cheaper than if it was just you
I see. Back to the car, is the bmw with that mile age is ok? the guy told me that they had the car since its brand new and well mentained and he has all the maintenance records, with that its well taken cared of, watcha think
This was a great video for people interested in BMWs. I personally recommend looking into a CPO. It costs a bit more than the asking price but you get 2+ years added on to the original warranty. And the car has been thoroughly inspected by Bmw.
I added an extra 2 year service plan to my car. So I could save on oil changes, and other service repairs.
A CPO also lets you receive really low interest rates on car loans. Mine was 1.59%.
I'm 19 now but I got my 2005 BMW X3 when I was 17 with 118k miles for $4,000 at the auction. Insurance through my parents is about $165 a month, gas can get expensive last time I filled up gas was $3.36 for 93 in MA and cost a bit of change over $50 to fill up. Maintenance wise besides oil changes and tires I've had to replace 4-5 coil packs which are about $30 each. Currently at about 134k miles running strong. Also a 6 speed manual which is pretty rare people are always surprised.
This guy really became my best friend because I'm getting ready to buy a 328i 2011 and... these videos are so damn helpful!
Everyone knows a Lamborghini is the perfect first car cheap,inexpensive,practical
Nah the koenigsegg regera is. It has less space than a water bottle.
I think a Lamborghini LM002 is the best first car. Very easy to use and practical.
Lucian Spampinato No
Dead😂😂
💯💯💯
The first car that I really used was actually a 335d, only time I have used it properly was testing it after the EGR recall thing, great car except for that one problem that causes oil to explode out of the intake manifold and pour smoke into the air vents, but at least BMW are doing it for free
I like your editing man, keep it up
Great video yes I live in Detroit too. You are right on the cost gas and insurance. I have a 535xi and the insurance is crazy expensive. It cost me more for my BMW than for my previous vehicle which was a Lexus. Everyone watching this video he is 100% correct. I have paid $200 for an oil change at the dealer. And $1000 for repair cost.
Great channel! Thanks Justin 👍👍
Your video helped me a lot. When I take the driving license I will have a mercedes e270 cdi w211 and you help to have a perception of the reality that I will face. Thank you
Im 14 rn, and in almost 2 years from now, i'll be cleared to drive. My dad's first car was a Mustang he bought after getting his degree from LSU. 2001 mustang, black with a convertible roof. I still wish we had it because ohh man would I have loved it, but unfortunately he donated it to Kars for Kids in an attempt to help raise money for the Childrens Hospital. Im happy we helped out some kids, but i'll have to save up for my own car. Ive got almost 500$, after saving 4 a bit, and i'm trying to go german, most likely Audi or BMW. If not, maybe a Lexus or an Infinity. Here in CA, gas is soo expensive, and car prices are super high. Ugh, and taxes and etc, idk how i'm gonna afford one of those cars, but it's the goal.
Great video as always especially for younger driver and first time owners.
Thanks man!
This was actually really helpful
Hi Justin, congratulatios for your channel, very useful...
I just bought en E90 2007 (basic/aut. Version) like you said in one of you videos had to replace the water pump and thermostat but now im having some other failures and i hope you can help me... 1.I cant use the manual mode of the gear box, i move the lever to the left but nothing happens it still on normal mode (cant see any warning about that on the dash) 2. Im gettin the warning light that indicates open hood even when its closed. 3. I cant delete the wsrning of deflate tires, just display the code but doesnt appear the "reset" option. Thanks in advance!
Helpful n right straight to the point
Get your car insurance through your parents or family member.
II Ruby II yup
Just bought a 2007 bmw 328i, insurance was 336 a month cause of tickets and being under 25(im 24). i then canceled my policy then joined my dads and got the price down to 150.
In the UK at least, adding your son or daughter to your parents insurance policy, and claiming that the parent is the main driver, when it's really the new driver is illegal. I think it's called fronting.
Philip Scott In America it’s legal. That sucks tho
In the UK you wouldn't build any NCB doing that
I’m just watching this video now because for my first car I am obviously getting a bmw because my dad works there so my dad can do my maintenance so that will save me a lot of money. Also he gets deals on the cars. I am very excited
My first car was a 530 xi wagon. Bought it this past Friday :)
Great video !
I had a 2010 328xi with a stick and 100k miles as my first car, good first car for driving, not too fast but handled very well, had great steering and speakers and a great manual transmission, was an absolute bitch to maintain though. Taught me a lot about what i like in cars, and what i dont. Justin hit the nail on the head when he said you need to have $1000 on hand at any moment should anything go wrong, the n5x series engines have reliable internals, but outside of that everything is fair game
my 1st was an 95 e36m3, owned it for 7 years and never regret it, I'm still missing it so much and even now on a Subaru awd, I still miss that ＃SheerDrivingPleasure on my e36... it's like a first love, its first drift like a first kiss....... really loved that #UltimateDrivingMachine
! My insurance went down when I bought a BMW - its considered a 'safer' car.
Avoid any cost for oil changes or brake replacement if you do things yourself and get the parts from FCP Euro. Free replacement for life! Even includes oil/filter and brake pads and rotors!
My first car was a 2000 VW Jetta GLS and I loved it. Although I would like to add that a 2006 BMW 325i is an AMAZINGLY fuel efficient car. Once I learned how to drive it here in Houston when I average 45-60 mph I can get between 40-50 mpg, so I’d say once you learn the most efficient range a SMALLER ENGINE BMW can be as efficient as any car, and if you become an expert at it you can get Prius V efficiency.
You can't get Prius V fuel economy, but you can get good efficiency out of turbo fours.
I just got a BMW and I really could use your help with this
Bought a 335i for 10k 78k miles not bad for a 2007. Came with m-tech package. Sports and premium package. Honestly doubt I’ll ever be this lucky again in my life. Previous owner also took maintenance very seriously something that I will be doing too.
Well said, great vid as always!
Thanks man!
Bmw dealer in my town 200$ ouk changes. I change myself. Good video dude
I have a 2011 335i m sport and I'm loving it so far but the PCV valve has gone bad and the whole assembly is going to be replaced on Wednesday at my local ASE certified BMW mechanic and might as well have everything else checked out for routinely maintenance while it's still under extended warranty from when I got it
Thanks for the video! Absolutely true everything you said! I have my 2010 e90. Its been super reliable up until i hit 120k then electric water pump went. Few month after the head cover seal went, after that my coils needed to be replaced. But again I owned the car for 7 years until i had these problems. So if i may put my advice out there for ppl that are looking to get into a BMW, definitely consider milage that would be my number 1 advice just like you said! And being financial prepared to cover unexpected costs. I mean that goes for any brand of car but keep in mind that BMW is always going to be a bit more privacy when it comes to repairs. However in my opinion it pays off, you'll get the smoothness, performance and elegance of driving a BMW.
Kevin Love.. is that you??
So that's what he does when he's not busy fluffing Bron Bron LOL!
💀
only repairs ive done was replacing my ccv and disa valve and replaced oil vaccum lines .
Speaking from a 17 yr old who did buy a BMW for their first car it's expensive. I bought the exact same car Justin had but no the AWD version and mine had the M sport package. 140K mileage paid less than 6K and the car so far had been really unreliable. Had A bad DTML pump and a charcoal canister go bad in the first week spent $1000 on repairs and spent $110 on a breakfluid change now at the Indy shop I took it too discover I was leaking Power steering fluid, valve cover gasket leaking and oil pan gasket. I'm looking at about $1500 to fix it fully. So keep in mind they are expensive. My family has helped me so far cover the repairs since I'm still in school. I wish now I would have just bought a dealer BMW with low mileage
Carlos Gonzalez make a video
Bruce Lauda duh, its 140k miles. You should have looked at it more
Pretty sure the previous driver rode that shit hard and fucked up the engine
You could just do your own maintanece... literally every mistake in BMW owners. They don't repair there cars and complain about high shop prices smh.
I did that at 60k but drove to 225,000 n sold it 5k. 335es old
Great vid
i'm now working for my first BMW e36 91' with m50b25 and yeah i propably weld diff faster than i buy it :)
I got my oil changed on my e46 from Valvoline for free lol. Took my own oil and filter ($60) they were happy to change it, and don't charge me! Not sure if they forgot or because I took my own oil.
Well as far as oil changes go, it may sound more expensive, but it's only 1 oil change/yr. or every 10,000 miles for the newer models. Oil changes in NY generally go for about $45-$70 every 3 months or 3,000 miles for synthetic oil. So it can avg. from 120-210, whereas BMW's 1 oil change/yr. is about $150-$175. So it almost balances out.
Great videos btw
Thanks!
first car i got 5 years ago was honda civic and this was perfect car for beginners, good motor and small car dimensions....after 3 months after i got bmw 316i,, f30, almost new one....and first day i tried driving high speed in roundabout in city center of lisbon and i lost control and only thru intuitive skills i again controlled the car not to land on the roof and got a big shock...since then i learned not to do any shit and to drive like it should be and since than no problems, already 100.000 km. car is perfect, only that you need to repair it often...the reason I keep it, it is pretty and it has very good construction of framework which gives extra safety.
With 320d or 318d (F30) you can get easily 58 miles per gallon, or around 4 liter per 100 km, that is pretty much efficient. In Europe people how are looking on efficentsy oftenly buy diesel. Advice for buying used car - buy low mileage car, best from 1st user and regularly maintained.
Just if anyone is interested... About oil & filter change. Brand new filters + oil did cost me about 110€ and 80€ for oil & filter change (+ coolant change, parking brake maintenance, ). It’s very nice when you have close people / friends or family members who knows about cars / mechanics so they charge you with way lower price and give you sum discounts
My 2 sisters dad and mom have bmw’s I’m the second youngest and I’m getting a 2017 x5 in a couple weeks I’m so excited my cars going to be the newest out of them all well until next year when my brother can get his permit
My “first car” was my moms 2011 Mercedes GL550 😂
I was 16, in 2012
She bought herself the 2013 GL 63 AMG at the time
When she passed it down, it had 10,000 miles on it, but being a teenager I put 30,000 in the same year, and kept it for 2 more years, in the end, I had 125,000 miles,
Air suspension was out in all 4 corners along with the compressor, the 4MATIC electronics were going out and my power lift gate was sooo loud it could wake up the neighborhood
Maintenance would murder me and as soon as the transmission slipped once on me, my dad traded it in for a Yukon Denali and swore to never allow for our family to keep a Mercedes after the warranty ends 💀
and they handed me the keys to the 2002 Odyssey to get me through high school, best car I’ve ever had 😂
Im now 20 and I own a 2009 Odyssey 💀
Certified Hood Classic- 2021
Im looking to buy a e46 facelift sedan 318i, was looking at the price of vw golf mk4 & mk5 and found that parts are about as expensive anyway and they are about the same in age anyway so what do you guys think? Is the E46 318i facelift sedan a good choice?
Currently rn i am dailying a 01 e46 325xi sedan, runs well at i use 89 for my car
What’s the highest mileage you would go up to realistically for a used Beamer?
Looking at a 3 GT diesel in either in 3L twin turbo or 2L. Will be towing caravan so is it better to drive a 3l for torque and not straining engine or go for 2L knowing it will work harder but maybe cheaper to work on? Or is repairs similar costs? By the way both are at 130k mikes - should I walk and find something lower or is 130k still acceptable for these diesels?
Killer video
Bought a 320d in the uk for my first car. Insurance is £1650 fully comp on my own policy witch was cheaper than a 1.2 corsa or a fiesta
Wow. $2.45 for 87 gas!! Im jealous!! Southern California Gas is around $2.80-$3.10 for that tier. 😭😭😭
+TheXeonShock when i went to south carolina it was under $2 for 87
its 3.55 here in Washington DC it kills me
I go to Costco and get 91 octane for 3.00.
Costco Gas honestly is the best.
You are jealous but we pay double that in Europe...
TheXeonShock 3.70 for 93 here In Chicago,the closer to downtown the closer to $4 a gallon it gets.But apparently New Zealand gas is $10+ US dollars a month.
91 gas here in California for the moment is 4.50$ a gallon, it costs about 67 dollars to fill the tank
Insurance for a 2009 Toyota in 1999 was 6k here in NYC
HOLY CRAP $9K FOR E60? Dude you are so lucky.Here in the Philippines,even the used non-M cars costs about 15k+
Am a car mechanic and I want to have a E46 as a first car what your advice
Hey Justin great video, congratulations. I want a bmw and found a 530i e60 (2006) with M Package, 87000 miles, one owner, price 9600 dollars. Do you think is a good opportunity? What else will you consider? Thanks man.
328i coupe which year is best year 2007-2013? No m sport
i kind of want a 328i for the reliability but I'm not sure if i should go for a 335i xdrive
Can some one please let me know is the inner side of the headlight will work or it’s just for the show in day light light. Only outer side of the bulb is working in bmw 1 series m sport 118d 2019 model
Finding a good Indie will save your wallet. I brought my 08 328i to an indie, got both brake pad replaced, oil change, spark plugs, brake fluid flush, steering fluid flush for around $500-$600. I did the engine air filter and and cabin air filter my self
I drive 320d 2007 and use Castrol full synthetic oil. It about 50 Euros with oil filter.
My dad drive Opel Meriva and uses same oil, so it's the same price, no difference.
I did 6 weeks ago and it’s the best decision i’ve made
5:21 i cried when I saw the depreciation on my car, I would have been better to put a bit more more and get a 2 series vert, but I still love my 128i. BUT I couldn't justify paying 50k for a car
Lower miles on these cars aren’t always better. I bought mine with 105k, so the previous owner took the hit on the 100k mile servicing. Thinking about what services and repairs have to be done and when and comparing it with what the previous owners have already replaced is something to think about
Nice video I subbed
Welcome to the channel!
in Portugal we just have 95 and 98 octane, and its about 1.55€/L for the 95 and 1.68€/L or something like that
In sweden we use at least 95 octane for only 1,35 and 98 for 1'6
I think where I’m at in Tennessee is 2.90 for 93 my parents own a 750li and I fill it up sometimes
I watched this video a little too late, I have two BMWs, but I don't regret buying either of them!
About what is the best mileage to get a second hand at?
Just waiting the m6 couple to lower the prices lol
I been looking at a 2011 335i coupe with 90k miles for 8500...what do you think?
I have a 2002 e46 330xi 5 speed I love it
But the milage can be adjusted. how do you know the true milage that had been done to the car?
"Premium 93 gasoline"
Haha - laughs in European
Hey, just bought a 2015 BMW X4 35i, M sport, 77k miles. not my first, but 2nd. is that good?
is getting a 2009 bmw 328i with 103k miles on it for 6500 a good deal and I'd it worth it in the long run ?
Yoooo! I’m from Detroit too born and raised
What part of Michigan do you live in I currently live in Michigan and considering buying a bmw
A Mercedes or BMW will be my first car. I live in California with the high gas prices.. & Insurance will be a lot because I’m 18 but I’ll probably join my parents insurance until I buy my own car.. anything to save money rn haha.
Hello I have a question I have fond a lot of bmw’s that have about 100,000 miles is that high miles?
In Europe, you cant even get below 90 octanes with fuel. Minimum is 95, better is 98 and a premium is a 100.
Vojtěch Pospíchal they use different measurements for octane. It's all the same
Yes. Its the same octanes. Just different measurement
Get an accord v6 coupe with leather interior instead you will love it
Ayman Osman it's a great car.
In AZ gas was once last year $ 1.13 it was the cheapest I've ever seen
Hey people I’m looking into buying a 2010 328 i x-drive wondering how much do you guy get on 1 tank of gas
Damn here in Cali gas is starting at $3.15 lol
here in germany it would be like 5-6 $
If you have the money to maintain it or know to fix them yourself, it's a good car. I actually tried to sell my 07 BMW 328 on Craigslist last week before giving up after too many insulating law ball offer and just sold it to CarMax. The car was in great shape but it' 10 years old and will need some work. The one buy I meant with complained about the cost for parts it may need someday after speaking this mechanic. I told him, "if your trying to save money, buy a Honda or a Toyota... a BMW isn't right for you" and I did him a favor by walking away. I'm selling my BMW 3 series after six years of ownership only because we had a little one and can't fit a car seat back there! Otherwise, I loved that car.
I subscribe because I’m looking foreword to buying a 2018 bmw 430i convertible
Bought a 2015 BMW 328i for around $18k with 30k miles about a week ago so far no issues but gas is not a joke, I am 18. Any tips?
my first and current car is a 2006 bmw 325xi
What's good mileage for a 2012 320/328?
Just bought my first car BMW 320i sedan and I'm loving it so far 👌👌
William Hollis hows the car know?!!
William Hollis How is your car now?
