I BOUGHT A Completely BROKEN BMW 745Li To Complete My FAIL FLEET
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- The comments knew where I was headed. After buying a 3 series, then finding a 5 series I'd like to keep... I started looking for my old dream 7 series, the 745Li. I bought this 2003 BMW 745Li for $1,900 running and driving, but thats not to say theres nothing wrong, it has lots of fun little problems to chase down before it's nice to drive again. We're going to get it home, fire up ISTA, then figure out just how many problems this monster of luxury a car has.

Someone has been spending too much time with Tyler Hoover...
At least WatchJRGo doesn't run into other people's cars with his monster pickup...

Toby the Glen depends state to state. I think here in Tx, you can buy 5 before needing a dealers license.
@@doylesmith8678 Here in Arizona you can only sell 3 cars per year before you have to be a dealer.
Doing business as a vehicle, manufactured home dealer or salesperson in the state of
Kansas requires a license issued by Kansas Department of Revenue, Dealer Licensing.
A vehicle dealer constitutes a person who purchases a vehicle with the intent to sell for a
profit, or sells 5 or more vehicles within a calendar year.
In this Dealer Handbook you will find complete instructions and licensing requirements for
Kansas Vehicle and Manufactured Home Dealers and Salespersons, as well as forms
necessary for your business operations.
We hope this will be a valuable source of information for those licensed to manufacture,
distribute, or sell vehicles or manufactured homes in the state of Kansas, as well as for those
involved in the enforcement of these regulations.

How to be a BMW owner: have a degree in computer science then drive down the highway throwing handfuls of money out the window.
Hanky Bannist8r If you can sit back and watch a $100 bill burn in front of you , you are ready to own a BMW or VW
I went to school for computer science and there's no way I'd own one of these cars.
Ok maybe the E46.
At least you’ll have fun doing the driving part.
Hanky Bannist8r that’s why you lease and walk away
Where's AMBERGENEIE'S GEO TRACKER??????
Someone should organize a cross country rally where you can only use the most unreliable cars ever built. We make a top ten list that people vote on and those are the only cars allowed. I think this one might make it on that list and do really well and by well I mean it probably won't make it out of Kansas. What other cars should be on that list?
Anything made by FCA
Loving the BMW marathon! I'm in the process of restoring the flagship V12 of the previous E38 generation. Good luck with the E66!
I think it's hilarious how everyone buys that car. Fixes a few things on it.. Passes it on. Next person does the same, goes on and on. It never gets finished lol.
Your house looks like a monument to poor financial decisions.
Built it with my own two hands, now it will fall apart on it's own 😂

BMW, "The ultimate driving machine " Yeah, right! Still, it has great seats. Really comfortable while you wait for the breakdown truck.
That aux water pump will keep it warm too.
You are right about that, they should change their slogan to "The ultimate unreliable machine".
Later this week... "I sold the BMW 745Li"
Next week on Hoovies Garage... "I bought the cheapest BMW 745Li in the USA"

Tyler already bought one
The Car Wizard: "Oh no..."
Doesn't he already have one?
JR's previous employer: "So what have you been up to since we fired you?"

I work for his previous employer - and I get a kick out of him talking about ESX and FTDI cables :)
@@TheducksOrg I work for an MSP and also get a kick out of it. JR should do some car tech videos on the WatchJRTech channel that he'll create when he reads this.

Tyler Hoover is having an effect on this channel and I like it
I'm loving the bimmers. Keep em' coming!
i don't hate on ur projects, cause the big difference between u and tyler is:
wizard
Did you mean, WEEEEZARD?
For the E39, you must use the pacman style connector that is on the right side of the engine, next to the ABS module.
The OBD port is only for some interieor modules, the ECU and EGS etc is connected via the big pacman style connector.
i am loving these bmw videos.
The E39 has OBD1 under the hood, works best with INPA (same for the E46, OBD2 and INPA) on the E66 ISTA is showing WAY to little modules, your setup needs the MOST adapter to read that section of the car
*Tyler would like to know your location* oh wait he knows where you live
Your neighbors must be pissed about the parking lot.
We enjoy driving by it!
It's Kansas. We really don't mind the cool stuff. Its when houses start becoming methlabs that we aren't keen to.
I used to live by a guy who restored WWII Jeeps and Dodge Power Wagons. Nicest guy you could ever have for a neighbor.
Who? Gabe and Josh?? LOL
He keeps everything in front of his house, on the driveway and street. It’s all parked legally. Nothing on the front lawn and he takes care of the vehicles. The rest fall into the Noneya category. If you need an explanation of Noneya, I’m gonna p*$$ you off!
Why would anyone give a shit what other do with their own parking spots?
That was a sweet machine when new. I worked at a Porsche, Audi, BMW dealership back in the late 90’s early 2000’s. The hand sewn leather of the 7 series was nice too.
Love the vids! Are you going to do a year in review? Kinda like here are all the projects we did, what it cost and how much money you made? Going to do more with the tracker?
The rear window pinch issue. To reset it. bring it all the way up. Then hold on the button in the up position for say 20sec. Then bring it down and repeat. Sometimes you may need to try a few times. The dashboard christmas tree lights flashing for ABS ASC CEL etc could also be due to a weak battery for the E65. For the doors closer that don't hold its position, its normally due to the orange colored rubber bushing that disintegrate over time ( found inside the door panel) . Try that first before replacing the door closer shocks. You can get the orange bush at Ebay or Ali for a song. Hopefully it works for u
At 12:31 your door check (what you called a strut) is probably fine based on the sound it made when you moved the door, what you need is to replace the little rubber press-fit bushing at the end of the door check that are about $15 new aftermarket on eBay
He loves to change them struts =New Bob Segar song.
Nice 745li Jr I can't wait until it's finish, and running.
So if you spray the inside window seal with some 303 protectant it may fix the slow or sticking issue. I've done this on a lot of cars and works great. All the Lexus ls models stick due to the crazy Heat in Florida
BMW JR that 7 Series is sexy as hell. Regretfully, my past experience with them felt like I was constantly flushing money down the dumper. When everything is working they are one of the finest cars to drive . I love taking them through the mountains on the west coast where you can really experience driving.
If it did have comfort access, it would all be broken anyway.
The cd changer should be in the glove box and the cd's for the navigation go into the trunk. If equipped of course.
Have an 04 745i....had a lot of the same problems your having....after spending close to a grand chasing error codes with replacement parts I bought a scanner and by using logic determined I had an electrical problem....checked charging system and found alternator wasn't putting out steady power...replaced alternator and ALL problems disappeared and haven't come back.
The 7 series always was the ultimate autobahn cruiser (in absolute comfort). I always wanted one when I was over there (I had a beat up 79 525, the best I could get with $800 at the time. lol)
JR bought one BMW now he’s addicted 😂 same
neeeds more re-hab than these WRECKS
What’s your snap
Nice video Bro! I would like to see the screen showing what you are sayng about the scanner. It would be nice if u could make a video abou the scanner softwares that you like!
E38 > E65
Man those things were ugly and it certainly wasn’t ugly on top of a great drivetrain either. It was literally just ugly on top of a power plant that if you looked at it the wrong way it would throw 16 codes.
DSC can just be rusty wheel speed sensors. Presumably you can check each wheel output with ISTA+ A trick you can try is the take out each wheel sensor and put them back with a washer between the sensor and the mounting, to hold them 0.5mm clear of the normal position.
Hopefully I can find a 5-series like that. It's pretty sweet. E39s are one of the best looking cars.
On the e39 you can scan the engine with the cable you have. To scan the other modules you need to plug it in to the diagnostic port under the hood. You need an adapter for it.
Love the ThinkPad. Bonus points for using the TrackPoint. I'm definitely not hardcore enough for that.
The empty spot in the tool box lid is for a first aid kit. Hopefully it was put too good use ;)
Really dig the wheels, haven’t seen this style on many 7 Series
Wonder if they'd fit on that 5 series...? :P
Not that he needs better looking wheels on the 5, those are just...
Only 1 min in but those 7 series I really think are beautiful and so ahead of its time. One of my favorite bmws even though they always are broken
If you look at it from the front, yes. From the back, not so much.
I run Oracle VirtualBox, and copy the VDI files between different PCs. Makes it easy to switch hardware.
Solid move for sure, after supporting VMW for years it’s weird running a basic hypervisor like VirtualBox 🍻
New subscriber here..... were you a Bimmer tech at one time? You seem to know these cars very well. Also, as a Volt Owner, looking forward to any Volt videos you have done....
Alright. You have motivated me to start working on the 1999 S600.
Goes to see a friend...
Becomes cameraman for video 😆
You have really cool friends
I have a '04 730dA, and it's been our daily for over 2years. Some work has been put in to it, but everything done by myself. All I'm missing is long wheelbase and massage seats. Nearly 216k miles on it. M57n diesel of course is far more reliable than N62. :D
Also got E38 728iA for a second car.
I had to replace the clock spring too, it was about 25 bucks from china and surprise is that it has been working fine a 6months already... I will see how long it lasts.
finally another fan o series!! i have both too, BUT my e38 740i is my daily and my e65 745Li is for weekends or some ocations
Where you order from china ??like how what website?
you need the X5 and X3 to complete the stable! get the 3.0 though, the v8s are typical bmw junk.. better be that $4k spent by the previous fixed the timing guides, valley pan/transfer pipe, valve stem seals and oil leaks.. because for bmw it's not a question of "if" it's basically "when".
Hey JR; the headliner is trashed, chop off the top for another convertible adventure. Great video amigo.. keep up the work. What happen to the John Deere 420c Crawler? Yellow remember?
Hearing the chime made me look at the dash of my Hyundai lol I own a e60 and way to familiar with that noise lol
Who else saw a 7 series coming after 5 series? lol
Need an 850 next
Then an x5. He's gonna go for the early 90s BMW dealer look.
oh ya, definitely.
All that remains is the 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 series. Plus throw in some Z's, X's and M's. Did I miss anything?

That BMW makes me really happy it’s someone else’s problem. Good luck JR 👍🏼
My freaking hero. I so want a project car.
Awesome! Now to finish them!
I'm completely lost as to the direction of this channel now. I first subscribed because you were fixing an R8 and bought a brand new engine but now that seems to have gone and there's a new car in every episode! What happened to the R8?
Tor Kellett-Smith lol he used to moto vlog on bikes but that hasn’t happened much either. It changes based on what he is interested in at the time. But he was waiting for parts for a long time, the R8 should be back soon
Tor Kellett-Smith when you have to work for a living, the $$ it takes.. He'll get back to it, things take time.
Those electronic trunk closers are actually something GM pioneered believe it or not. If I'm not mistaken the first car I saw it on was an 87 Camaro.
i had a 1992 chevrolet monza classic 2.0 from brasil with that equipment, so i think you are right
I'm surprised there isn't forsale signs up all around your neighbourhood with a junk yard forming on your property 😂
I feel your pain i have a e65 for everyday use and well aware everyday is a new fault day 🤯
Take a drink when he says *And all that good stuff* !
You and Tyler,,,LOLOL.. love it. BTW, you do not need to lock it, it will not get stolen, just like my Jags..
Your a brave man.
Just been looking on UK eBay and the cheapest E65 I've found is a 2004 730d with a blown turbo (no price on RealOEM for a new turbo but I reckon £1000 upwards) but is otherwise straight and the cheapest E38 is a 2000 728i for just shy of £1200 which has service history and recently passed the MoT (UK annual roadworthiness test similar to state inspections) so it can be driven away once it has been insured and taxed. Both cars have automatic transmission. I'm still leaning towards an E39 (I can get one for less than £500) should I wish to replace my E36 but either generation of the 7 Series are tempting prospects even though the E65 is a potential moneypit.
the sound when the car is in ignition , sounds like something off a Roadrunner cartoon !
Please don't hang out with Mr. Tyler anymore, you have been infected with hooptissies 😁😁😁😁😁, great content for fun and knowledge you seem to know a lot about BMWs, just out of curiosity, your neighbors don't call the cops on you? 😁😁😁😁
Great video JR now you need the warehouse to work on them. Learning a lot from you on the BMWs.
Where's your Princess miss her smile on your videos.
Keep It Up
Welcome back Gabe!
John Harn:😉🍻
Do your neighbors get annoyed with all the cars and the night time auto garage?
Love the show!
JRgo, I'm looking to purchase a DYI large car similar to the 7 series. Any suggestions on a make and model. I love the 745 li body style but seems they have lots of issues. Thanks in advance Brad

Sweet car man
Same thing happened to my Toyota with the steering wheel controls. It was the clock spring.
You need to hit up FPC euro for a sponsership on all these Beemers man!! Check'em out an they have a lifetime warranty on every part they sell.

If the old software ran in VMWare in a virtual machine, you could have moved the virtual machine files themselves to a newer or different computer and fired it up no problem. Must be more to it than this? Best wishes.
In Australia, there are some places where you can get struts rebuilt, less expensive than replacing them. The one near me gives a 12 month guarantee on the refurbishment.

I would sale mine, but didnt think anyone would buy it. Executive package and everything works except parking gear / limp mode.
Need to take the BMWs to the Wizard and upload the footage as a video “Everything wrong with my Cheap BMW ________” Then you will take the crown from Tyler.
Video opens with JR pushing a 9 series into the parking lot outside the Wizards shop...
Wizard wouldn’t work on it, per Hoovie’s vid, he had to find someone else to work on his.
@@Barfly76 Yes, he found a mechanic that actually did the work correctly.
Does look like he and Hoovie are in a race to see who can spend the most money to get a car back up to below average condition.
Rob J and here I thought getting ahead on the mortgage on his house would be more important.
Tylor is teaching you well young grasshopper
and all that good stuff
That 5 series is awesomeness
JR: Let's talk with the car
Broken 7 Series: Oh you had better sit down buddy, we have a lot to talk about!
We refered to those as the BMW "quarter to eight"

I had the 550i terrible so good luck with all those bmw
Only 8 faults? My F10 M5 logs a fault for the DVD remote in the rear having low battery 😂🤣😂🤣
That's crazy what can be detected now
That's because you don't drive it.
Just go online find the battery then use YOu tube video and replace the battery fault will clear.
I see headlights on the 3 series!
Got my 745 Li for $600 running with 180000 miles.The dashboard is lit up like a Christmas tree, leaves an oily puddle wherever is parked, but it is still going...
Finna get one too for 500$ bucks Tommrow
@WatchJrgo right after watching your Ford exp series I came across a neglected mercury Ln7 and the dude who owned it gave it to me so long as I could get it out of his yard
Really want to buy one of these but not at that low of a price and broken lol. They are awesome cars!
That 7-Series DIDN'T start the super-luxury car trend. That honour goes to the early-90s Mercedes-Benz S-Class that replaced the W126. Think about it, no cars had double glazed windows or massage seats before that one. And, although the styling was pretty hideous, it was definitely a better can than that generation of 7-Series, even if they did have more than their fair share of problems, especially for a Merc...
Hahaha, ring topology FTW!
