Great Video as usual 👌..... I am currently looking at buying a 2018 - 2019 420d or even a 420i. 4 years later from this video are there any updates of problems and what to look out for ?? Cheers
Nice review, thanks. I had been looking at a 2017 model in Java Green, its a 435d Gran Coupe, did that come as standard with the HK sound system and also the keyless system ? I do not like Keyless at all, is there anyway to get it amended so that it does not transmit constantly and only when the key moves like the newer models can now do ?I If not i will fit a Ghost system but i would rather have the keyless system made safer. A small favour though on the next videos, if you are talking with the bonnet up and the engine running........... move a way a bit as i could hardly hear you talking about the dpf etc.
Great video. Planning on buying one of these or possible an Audi A3 saloon black edition or quattro... We shall see. Thanks for the insightful information once again doctor dean.
its a diesel. thats what diesels do, they just stay on. however, i agree its annoying. why does a diesel have to run for a thousand years to operate correctly??!?! he even warns of short drives... how short is too short?!?!?!
Would really love to see a servicing series for BMW cars of this era for those who want to save a buck and are capable of doing general services at home
Just finished paying for my bmw 120d 2011 been brilliant so got another loan to trade in found 2014 bmw 420 msport has lots of m4 parts fitted and looks very clean it’s from a garage that has lots of good cars Wants 19 grand fir it in Watford exclusive auto do you think I’ll get 4 grand for my coupe and Iv 14 cash. Should I know anything more
Bro I’m trying to buy one of these but I noticed that there is fast vibration on the engine but the technicians said it has no problem what do you think
Mate would you consider e92 series. Im about to replace chain tensioner now. Looks like simple job. Dont know really shall I prime it.. anyway. The series would be really helpfull
Yeah man there cushti I love the leds on these super bright especially at night even the high beams and the way they move at night with the steering is a plus the headlights are 3k a piece mate
Ive seen some in salvage for sale with just minor front end damage the parts are big money to repair Such a pretty car love that 8 speed box always bang in the power range
Yeah mate the power is immense and that gearbox shifts so fucking well and fast like a dsg box I’m so happy with this though mate trust me I’m glad bmw bought the zf company
My pal had a 320 msport f30 with the 8 speed as a courtesy car while he was having some work done on his beemer it was wicked drove lovely that 8 speed box is pukka One of me pals said to thank you for the recall advice mate hes got his e60 booked in next month for the recals ✌👍
No problem mate it’s cushti mate mine didn’t need anything doing I was in and out within 2 mins they checked it mine was free of corrosion what they said was it only affects cars with all the modules in the boot and the ones with diamond key
Basically isn't telling you anything you don't already know this is what you do when every you buy a car, check everything works which is the same on all modern cars
Oh no no friend trust me this is not what you do These cars are highly equipped and you need proper tools to check these cars and scanners not your average £50 scanner is going to be able to diagnose this car and tell you it’s ok trust me
Couldn't agree more with this comment. This should be and is general checks for any car. I came here expecting a summary of potential known issues and things to look out for this specific model. Pretty useless video.
Great Video on the BMW. These recent cars in the last decade are very heavy on coding with all the modules. Invest in Ista and learn or go broke. Simple
Anyone know what transmission is in the 2016 F36 x drive (grand coupe x drive ),other then it’s a ZF8hp I’m getting frustrated because the damn Lci went to the 2016.5 440i with a b58 someone chime in plz
Hi there, I’m looking to get this 2020 430i. This might be a stupid question but even tho it’s bmw approved, is it still necessary to look for these things?
Yeah i had to googke him and sfill cant find where he is lol im thinking about a 420d x drive grand coup and would love him to look it over while im within all rights to returning if he finds something wrong lol
Exactly mate that’s the way it should be brother thanks for the support some others don’t show I think jealousy rings a bell cars they only dream of affording or driving
No it’s not x drive is actually much much better as power is being delivered to all wheels rather the. 2 so you don’t get uneven wear like the rear wheel drive versions
I'm looking to buy a 2012 BMW 3 series 2.0 dynamic efficient 4dr. Its clocked 145k miles and has FSH with a recent MOT. Do you think it's worth buying? What should I be looking for when inspecting. Appreciate the videos! Thanks
Very easy to steal I have just developed a device to do that I’m the guy that invents this as I did with the E60 there ain’t no way to stop it as I know all routes to taking these cars
Hell no they are NOT bmw make 6 cylinder engines. 4 cylinder engines are made in the U.K. and are all junk bmw are known for 6 cylinder NOT 4 cylinder engines
How many MPG does this particular do? I have one just like this 420D XDrive 66 plate and it’s struggling to reach 33mpg which I find very very low. Mine is EXACTLY the same as this one, same trim, rim size etc. Does anyone know what mpg it would average combined?
I'm currently thinking about buying a 418d...this video is just what I needed. Thanks for sharing mate!
Exceptional video with information that ONLY the doc will have. Textbook masterclass.💎💎💎💎
Very nicely done, Dean. Appreciate it
Your videos are very helpful!! Makes me want to buy a bmw.
dont think about it mate you should indeed go and buy one you wont regret it and my channel will sure help you out when needed on everything related

Any major issues that potential buyers will need to know? I'm an Audi person and mine has been bulletproof but am looking for a change.

After looking at the new 4 series coming out, purchasing a used f36 is probly the best option.
What's everyone thoughts on the 430D, 2016/2017 reg? And is the EGR value a big issue
what do u think about 435D GC from 2018 may with 13k km? is that engine good? it s 44000$.
Would really love to see a servicing series for BMW cars of this era for those who want to save a buck and are capable of doing general services at home
Very useful and usable information. A*
Hi any advice specifically around the 420i? Anything I should look outbfor?

Is that sound normal ? Mine makes the same sound , I though it was the belt tensioner ...
Bro I’m trying to buy one of these but I noticed that there is fast vibration on the engine but the technicians said it has no problem what do you think
You telling me that headlights are coded for the car so as to prevent people getting used ones from write offs?
Mate would you consider e92 series. Im about to replace chain tensioner now. Looks like simple job. Dont know really shall I prime it.. anyway. The series would be really helpfull
There is no difference in engine if yours is n52 I have n52 m54 and now b47
Video very helpful top man 👌🏽
Glad it helped
Can you tell me what the location is of the rdc-module?
Dean - what is your opinion on the timing chain? Is there an issue anymore with these and is being at the rear of the engine a serious concern?
chains dont break but tensioners are plastic so after 60k miles should replace them/ upgrade. will cost about 300 but the engines are bulletproof
Is that color sapphire metallic or regular black?
Them headlights are an absolute fortune. But dam they look good 😍
Yeah man there cushti I love the leds on these super bright especially at night even the high beams and the way they move at night with the steering is a plus the headlights are 3k a piece mate

This is B47 not B57 engine doc 😌 Doc how much do you know about diesel leaking into wiring loom and ecu? Tia
Very good
Hi there, I’m looking to get this 2020 430i. This might be a stupid question but even tho it’s bmw approved, is it still necessary to look for these things?
Of course. Always do your due diligence
Where you based mate? Would love it if you have a look at 420d f36 I just bought.
Yeah i had to googke him and sfill cant find where he is lol im thinking about a 420d x drive grand coup and would love him to look it over while im within all rights to returning if he finds something wrong lol
How can we stop em getting nicked?
First like then watch :)
Exactly mate that’s the way it should be brother thanks for the support some others don’t show I think jealousy rings a bell cars they only dream of affording or driving
Just don’t bother much with it,it will come slowly with time and just do what you love! 👍👍
That’s what these videos are intended for mate in time not for now most my subscribers have e series that I know but I need f series subs now
I agree with that 😁
Great car but buy the petrol, diesel is not the same as it sounds nasty, smelle bad and you will probably get problems with the oxygen sensors.
The B47 has 2 turbos on the 20d spec? Not 1 twin scroll turbo? A bit confused :D
It has one twin scroll on the 20d.
I thought LED's are forever headlights.
What’s the situation with xdrive and tyres? Is the car harder on tyres?
No it’s not x drive is actually much much better as power is being delivered to all wheels rather the. 2 so you don’t get uneven wear like the rear wheel drive versions
Thanks, what about fuel economy? Is the x drive version harder on fuel than the normal rear wheel drive version?
Great video mate 👍
Cheers mate how you doing buddy
I’m doing great mate hope you and your family is doing great 👍
yes mate were all good brother its always good to see you comment

Have a look
Great vid but I’m concerned about the easy to steal comments?! How I prevent that from happening to my car??

Sick of diesel nx bmw be petrol
Hey doctor,
I have question , I have BMW 535i 2012
But it's get overwhelming what causes this , thanks ?
Hi. Would you say that the 4 cylinders is as reliable as the 6 cylinder engine? Ta
Hell no they are NOT bmw make 6 cylinder engines.
4 cylinder engines are made in the U.K. and are all junk bmw are known for 6 cylinder NOT 4 cylinder engines
@@BMWDoctor Thx. Sorry forgot to mention it was about petrol engines. Greetings from France
Even more unreliable mate the petrol 2.0 engines are a complete

My 420d gran coupe from dealers only gives me 21.9mpg!!
That's not right... something badly wrong there
Whats the 430d engine like..is it good
Dropfeather what about a 435d from 2017 onwards?
@@yeahyeahyeahyeahwhatever mine was built on oct 2016..it has the b45 engine.
No known issues with that engine..
LOL...there is no such thing a a silent diesel. Engine rattle at idle is guaranteed.

Does anyone know what mpg it would average combined?
My dad's 318d which is a b47, 18' wheels, does more than 50 mpg whatever the weather.
XDrive man, here's your answer
Shouldn’t you be advising viewers not to buy one of these if you know a lot about bmw you would be awair it’s a brand to keep well away from
Dam I'll passed 😔 now
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
A drug dealer friend has this car
what a useful fact
Make sure you bought BMW 😄😄
