Well it all depends on how you take care of your car tbh, i think ppl that buy toyotas (etc.) just don't care about service intervals (I'm a carguy who loves every build, as long as it has a purpose)

    5:30 As someone who owns and works on BMW’s, NEVER go to the dealership for parts especially for a car that old. I did one search on eBay for the fuel pumps, and I found multiple OEM lightly used or new examples for around $500 or even a bit less than that. Also if you were to get another BMW I’d recommend the E38 740i or 750i. I got my 740 around 2-3 years ago, and I put about $8k into it for new parts and a transmission rebuild. It has run with no lights on ever since. The most I’ve done to it is an oil change. If you were to go that route, I’d also recommend a facelifted model between 2000-2001

    Re: Auctions. This car will be bought by a used car dealer for $4k, and then put on a used car lot and sold to some poor soul who will finance the car at 10% interest rate, and pay $12k for it. They will drive it for a few months until the fuel pumps fail, and then not have $5k to fix it, nor will they be able to pay off the $12k loan and will have no car to drive to work.
    Meanwhile a fan of the show who knows the issue and cost with full disclosure would buy it as a second car, and fix it while only paying $4k for the car.
    Hoovie - you’re sending some poor soul literally in to bankruptcy by selling it at auction.

    • @gasfiltered
      @gasfiltered 4 года назад +23

      You can rebuild the pumps pretty cheap, ~$200 or so, Tyler just needed a good story. If you finance a car with no warranty, you do so knowing the second you sign the paper that it could fail before you pull off the lot. Don't finance cars. Ever. And even the shadiest bank won't finance a 13 year old BMW. A buy-here-pay-here lot will usually take it back because it's better to keep you paying on something than have you walk away from a worthless car.

      the N73 HPFP's share some internal stuff like the membranes with other, cheaper OEM Bosch parts for other brands (Ford, VW) so you could have them rebuilt probably. Also worthwhile to check if there are any recalls for these V12 fuel pumps because BMW issues HPFP recalls for the N54 inline six back in the day

I've had it two years and 50k miles and replaced the hatch handle ($35), a window motor ($70), the gas cap ($12), and rocker cover gaskets ($60). The rest is just maintenance stuff. I don't think any BMW could run for two years cheaper than that with that mileage.

    Just a heads up anyone looking for a 2006-2008 BMW 750, it’s not as bad is it sounds if you’re mechanically inclined. Most of the work is workable for the newbie mechanic. The $5000 fuel pump he’s talking about could be bought for $300-$500 a pair. Not OEM but good enough for the life of the car.
    If you go to the BMW forums, you’ll actually understand how cheap it actually is to own. BUT!!! If you’re not mechanically inclined at all, it’ll be expensive. I’ve owned my 2006 750Li for 5 years and 90k KMs (50k miles approx). It hasn’t cost much more than my 2007 Accord and it costs less than my 2007 Avalanche (truck).
    It really is a nice car and you have to own one to actually appreciate the simplicity of it. There’s a bunch of electronics inside but the electronics don’t really fail. If it does, it’s likely an amplifier, alternator or battery replacement.

      Hi I am in the uk. I ran a 4.4 V8 E39 saloon that was 5 years old. I owned the car for 11 years and never had any expensive issues. Lots of BMW specialist here charging very reasonable prices. Apart from the main dealers that are extortionate.

      R S well you say that, what the reality is, is that most of the German cars you have in the US are not made in Germany they are made in Mexico, and made badly by poorly trained workers. Where in the UK most out German cars are made in Germany and the rest in other EU country’s. And they just last so much better, with very little faults over there life time

    Three BMW owner here - 740i Sport, 740iL, and 325ci convertible. They depreciate so well. (Depreciation is a gift from the Car Gods to us car guys.). Most repairs on them only need to be done once. I bought mine, all very nice, rust-free 2001s, with moderate mileage (80,000 average) and near the bottom of their depreciation curve. I have personally put about 100,000 miles on the trio in 6 going on 7 years. Buy them for 90-95% off of the original sticker price, fix them, love them. I feel like a know a secret way to buying really nice cars that few people seem to understand.
    Next on my list: a 750iL or maybe an X5.

      As a general high-pressure fuel pump speaking rule the places that would rebuild it aren’t going to touch it because it’s a new BMW fuel pump and they’re afraid to put their name on something that they can’t you sure they can give you a high-quality product Secondly it’s typically not even something on mechanic can do you’ve got to take it to someone who just does fuel pumps and it might end up being just as much as buying new

      Aftermarket replacements for highly specialised fuel pumps for a low-volume high-end luxury car? Good luck with that.
      You can certainly get them rebuilt though. There are specialists out there who do exactly that with those exact pumps.
