“There’s gotta be somebody stupid enough to take this off my hands” Oh Hoovie I was hoping you’d shake his hand I really hope you show this one to the Wizard.
I personally love BMW'S, after looking at my uncle's used e60 530d (ik it's a diesel, ofc they would be kinda reliable) it has like 300k km and still hauls like a mf with no major issue whatsoever, just general maintenance. 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
I 100% agree that you never buy new engine parts for old cars from the dealership. Like you said it's always best to shop around to find the best quality at the best price car parts.

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.
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.
@@gasfiltered I wouldn't say never finance a car, but if you do, make sure it has a nice warranty. CarMax for example might upcharge used cars and don't haggle, but they have an unbeatable warranty for a used luxury car
No one is forcing a “poor soul” to buy a 13 year old BMW on credit. There are choices and consequences: the buyer needs to be responsible for their actions.

@@Kluneberg makkr facts. Tons of aftermarket dont use the cheap plastic that are standard OEM for BMW. That's how they get the owners, sadly, but just change out the plastics for aluminum or metal and good to go!
I bought a Peugeot 206 shift knob from Aliexpress for $10 which is a fraction of the price the Peugeot dealer would have asked and it's better quality than OEM.
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
Hey Hoovie. Thanks for saving literally my life and savings account. I was thinking about trading in my 2007 Toyota Sequoia for a 7 series (2008-2012) but I have seen the light. Keeping the sequoia for my family and I’ll wait to make a totally different and terrible decision later on. Seriously. This video saved me.
Would recomend a 330 or 530i or D both will run forever. or ( )35i (only with the n55 engine not the n54) 35d is pretty reliable too wouldnt touch any pre 2012 bmw v8
I have a 02 Sequoia I bought for $3700. It has 300k+ miles. 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. Wait, that last sentence is wrong. I don't think any BMW could run with that mileage. There. Fixed.
David Kaminski I also don’t know of a more boring car than an 02 Toyota Sequoia... it’s about more than reliability. If you want to have fun, get a BMW. If you don’t actually like cars for anything more than a utilitarian purpose/If you want to brag to your next door neighbor Gary about how reliable your car is, don’t get a BMW. Johnny, and David: You’re boring people, and that’s ok
730d is ok e engine and drivetrain wise. Then it depends on the last owner, if he maintained it well and got things fixed as they did brake. Or if he Just drove and accumulated problems.. I has mine for 4 years. I bought it second hand 5 years old. But if i did not have car Electronics as a hobby, it would have become crazy expensive car to own... I Will for sure never have car with soft close Doors without warranty again. Its almost impossible to keep the 7 series car 100% Electronic wise....
Mario Lopez he was long in the tooth last year... the guy is a broken record constantly repeating himself and bashing german cars. If you have enough money to buy a BMW then go buy one!! But just be sure you keep some cash around in the glove box because it’s going to break down eventually, just like any other car. I wonder how much Scotty would freak out if he knew that modern Toyota’s are made of the same shit Chinese wires and plastic.
In 2015 i bought in Germany a new Alpina D3 Biturbo (bmw 3 serie Touring F31) it's a 6cyl diesel engine and it's totally reliable. I drove 155.000km and only had regular maintenance and didn't had any failure! I love the styling of alpina! Everybody has M parts lately on there bimmers. But alpina you don't see often!
Shift Gears I was looking at a 760 with 36,000 miles, and it’s had more seals and maintenance done to it than my 180,000 mile 530i has had in almost its 20 year life span lol.

@@mikes062 wizard gave permission for Hoovie to bring the BMW to a different mechanic. Car wizard bought a diagnostic tool to keep the lambo out of Johnny's shop since johnny has a diagnostic tool for it. Fun fact both of Hoovies mechanics drive Volkswagons right now.
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.
Just bought a 2006 750Li w/54k miles! Every repair has been like $15 & 20 minutes on avg. Telescoping up&down, power thigh supports, exhaust smoke (pcv valves), hood props, front passenger lock. Sum free. None over $20. Immaculate!
The thing is, the e65 v8s are the most reliable 7series of all time, if you repair the waterpipe, and the valve seal problem, after that this car is a Tank. No rust, no cracking noises in the interior, no suspension problems.
Exactly! I've been saying this since they initially announced it!!! When they all start falling apart at 60k miles, it's going to be pretty spectacular. 😄
Dee T toyota supervised and created the electronic platforms but bmw was in charge of the powertrain and design so i doubt there’s going to be too many problems with the supra considering bmw makes great engines but shit electronics
@@bassboostgod6576 From what I saw Toyota was also highly involved with the speccing of their chassis and with making sure that each of the components of the car including the engine and fasteners etc were up to Toyota's quality standards. It's in some video with the Toyota engineers talking about how they built the car in collab with BMW. It seemed at the least interesting to see how this all plays out. I can't see Toyota wanting to attach themselves in name and reputation to something that is going to fall apart. The Supra might be the best BMW you can purchase
Man you are car "sick" like me. If I had unlimited money I will keep buying old second hand cars and repairing them...you have to understand that feeling, the feeling to own it and the satisfaction after you fix it and you drive it. One of the best channels on youtube. Keep it up!
I love how bmw owners describe their problems in the comments and how they repaired things, how much they spend on repairs etc. Meanwhile toyota owners: What is "repair"?
lol that is NOT true. I just returned my Toyota avensis that I leased in 2016, the worst car I have ever owned. Loud motor noise, crappy electric steering, too stiff and bumpy suspension, super cheap interior like door handles and such. And it broke down one time per year. After that I invested $2000 in my old e39 and now I have a fast and comfortable car that is better in every aspect, except for age. Oh yeah, my old bimmer uses less fuel also :)
@@Angel-rn2lq Im getting one of those as soon as I can afford it, I'm also going for a singleturbo and +600bhp. I used to have a e36 m52b25 that I converted to turbo. Bmw's with turbos are the best thing ever! :D
Tyler, let the record show, it's videos exactly like THIS that make me (and hopefully thousands of other subscribers) love your channel and your masochistic love of making broken cars awesome again.
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.
I’m In The uk, I have had a string of VWs over the last 14 years, I still have the first golf I ever got when I was 21, v6 4motion golf, it has been as loyal as a dog to me over these years, started every time, yeah I have done a lot of standard servicing. But that’s it. Only German cars in America seam to be a pain.
I think maintenance is not too bad, especially if you do the simple stuff yourself (oil changes, filters, spark plugs etc). Repairs will cost arm and leg and more though.
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
Still wondering how it took BMW 20 years before they realized that running 2 ECU's, 2 of every sensor, 2 high pressure fuel pumps, 2 of basically everything was a bad idea...
@Mike's Big Mouth it has nothing to do with diet. In America us men only find peace and quiet from our wives and kids in the toilet. It's our sanctuary. I know when I shut my bathroom door i have between 20-40 minutes of peace, tranquility, and alone time before someone notices I'm not around.
Hpfp can be rebuild for $17 each (bimmerfest forums). BMW V8 N62 - smoking can be stopped with ATP AT-205, 2 x bottles for $9 each, each oil change (Amazon).
I own a 2007 BMW E92 330i 272hp since 2013, had 100k km on the clock when bought. Normally aspirated 3L 6cyl port injection. No issues so far, only changed the 11 yrs old battery 2 yrs ago.
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.
That problem is so common on BMW V8s there is a Facebook group for it. The fix can be done DIY with the AGA tool. If you have time do it yourself then it's worth it, the car looks great drives great.
" The Most Profound Comment Ever!" in a Hoovie's Garage comment section - He does it, so you don't have to! Or that other classic "Some people are just put on this earth as a warning to others!".
Bought a 2000 740iL with really high miles about 5 years ago. I drove it to work everyday. Fixed any issues (there were many) myself and kept it on the road. The craftsmanship and luxury in that 20 year old car is amazing. My new car is a 2018 Challenger RT. I’d rather drive the BMW.
Next video title: "I took my VERY BROKEN Alpina B7 to CarMax for an appraisal". Can you not get the original pumps rebuilt, or aftermarket replacements?
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.
Regarding the HPFP it’s a simple diaphragm replacement within each pump, can buy the kit for $250 and you don’t even need to take the pump outs to change

There may be a Kubota out there with a 50-horse motor in it, but it's certainly not a lawn mower.

I’ve had a 03 760li for a year now and I love it I would almost guarantee it’s the cheapest v12 ever purchased in history I paid $200 and after some research and wrenching it’s an amazing machine that’s great to drive just gotta put your big boy pants on and research the platform and be willing to get greasy

Nothing reliable about that French delorean engine.
Zac Larkby that’s good
You’re a moron.
I like Hoovies Delorian
@@Yukikazehalo they are making new $100,000 delorians with electric engines soon.
The feul pumps do $202 on ali expres :-) I have tried them and it works well... sold the car but dit not hear them failing.
I'm not going to be surprised if they end up being more reliable than the OEM ones.
@@Kluneberg makkr facts. Tons of aftermarket dont use the cheap plastic that are standard OEM for BMW. That's how they get the owners, sadly, but just change out the plastics for aluminum or metal and good to go!
I bought a Peugeot 206 shift knob from Aliexpress for $10 which is a fraction of the price the Peugeot dealer would have asked and it's better quality than OEM.
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
Terry Skarry you right, I replaced water pump on e60 and it was plastic inside, the replacement was all metal
BMW doesn’t know the word “recall”. Instead, we enthusiasts will default to calling it “common issues”.
Someone, somewhere, has the knowledge to rebuild the those fuel pumps.

Some dude in Eastern Europe could fix it for less than $500.

There's a guy on ebay that does it for 250 each
The rebuild kits are $129.99 each. OI don't understand this remove and replace mentality when it comes to hard parts on a car.

Hey Hoovie. Thanks for saving literally my life and savings account. I was thinking about trading in my 2007 Toyota Sequoia for a 7 series (2008-2012) but I have seen the light. Keeping the sequoia for my family and I’ll wait to make a totally different and terrible decision later on. Seriously. This video saved me.
Would recomend a 330 or 530i or D both will run forever. or ( )35i (only with the n55 engine not the n54) 35d is pretty reliable too wouldnt touch any pre 2012 bmw v8
Never get a BMW. Itll kill your wallet and nobody likes BMW drivers anyway.
I have a 02 Sequoia I bought for $3700. It has 300k+ miles. 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.
Wait, that last sentence is wrong.
I don't think any BMW could run with that mileage.
There. Fixed.
David Kaminski I also don’t know of a more boring car than an 02 Toyota Sequoia... it’s about more than reliability. If you want to have fun, get a BMW. If you don’t actually like cars for anything more than a utilitarian purpose/If you want to brag to your next door neighbor Gary about how reliable your car is, don’t get a BMW. Johnny, and David: You’re boring people, and that’s ok
730d is ok e engine and drivetrain wise. Then it depends on the last owner, if he maintained it well and got things fixed as they did brake. Or if he Just drove and accumulated problems.. I has mine for 4 years. I bought it second hand 5 years old. But if i did not have car Electronics as a hobby, it would have become crazy expensive car to own...

That old man needs to take a breather and realize not everyone wants a Toyota.
Mario Lopez he was long in the tooth last year... the guy is a broken record constantly repeating himself and bashing german cars. If you have enough money to buy a BMW then go buy one!! But just be sure you keep some cash around in the glove box because it’s going to break down eventually, just like any other car. I wonder how much Scotty would freak out if he knew that modern Toyota’s are made of the same shit Chinese wires and plastic.
In 2015 i bought in Germany a new Alpina D3 Biturbo (bmw 3 serie Touring F31) it's a 6cyl diesel engine and it's totally reliable. I drove 155.000km and only had regular maintenance and didn't had any failure! I love the styling of alpina! Everybody has M parts lately on there bimmers. But alpina you don't see often!
I still remember the first video I saw of Hoovies Garage, it was about the Hooptie that got stolen and dumped in a wooded area.

@@mikes062 wizard gave permission for Hoovie to bring the BMW to a different mechanic.
Car wizard bought a diagnostic tool to keep the lambo out of Johnny's shop since johnny has a diagnostic tool for it.
Fun fact both of Hoovies mechanics drive Volkswagons right now.
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.

Exactly! I've been saying this since they initially announced it!!!
When they all start falling apart at 60k miles, it's going to be pretty spectacular. 😄
Toyota brand status plus BMW reliability. The opposite of what everyone wants.
Dee T toyota supervised and created the electronic platforms but bmw was in charge of the powertrain and design so i doubt there’s going to be too many problems with the supra considering bmw makes great engines but shit electronics
@@bassboostgod6576 From what I saw Toyota was also highly involved with the speccing of their chassis and with making sure that each of the components of the car including the engine and fasteners etc were up to Toyota's quality standards. It's in some video with the Toyota engineers talking about how they built the car in collab with BMW. It seemed at the least interesting to see how this all plays out. I can't see Toyota wanting to attach themselves in name and reputation to something that is going to fall apart. The Supra might be the best BMW you can purchase
It won't be.
The B58 is 5 years old by this time, and has been in every BMW model, meaning parts are so much more common and widely available.

For the cost of the fuel pumps one the 750 you can drop an LS4 in it. That goes for the B7 too.
I love how bmw owners describe their problems in the comments and how they repaired things, how much they spend on repairs etc.
Meanwhile toyota owners:
What is "repair"?
PiEn very true I have a Toyota van it’s had no problems
lol that is NOT true. I just returned my Toyota avensis that I leased in 2016, the worst car I have ever owned. Loud motor noise, crappy electric steering, too stiff and bumpy suspension, super cheap interior like door handles and such. And it broke down one time per year. After that I invested $2000 in my old e39 and now I have a fast and comfortable car that is better in every aspect, except for age. Oh yeah, my old bimmer uses less fuel also :)
My bmw was a n54 and I bought it for a daily and now its a single turbo car with my motor getting torn down for upgraded internals lol
@@Angel-rn2lq Im getting one of those as soon as I can afford it, I'm also going for a singleturbo and +600bhp. I used to have a e36 m52b25 that I converted to turbo. Bmw's with turbos are the best thing ever! :D

The price of owning a German car: exhorbitant maintenance costs. Just grin and bear it, I suppose.
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.
I’m In The uk, I have had a string of VWs over the last 14 years, I still have the first golf I ever got when I was 21, v6 4motion golf, it has been as loyal as a dog to me over these years, started every time, yeah I have done a lot of standard servicing. But that’s it. Only German cars in America seam to be a pain.
I think maintenance is not too bad, especially if you do the simple stuff yourself (oil changes, filters, spark plugs etc). Repairs will cost arm and leg and more though.
tren133 maybe spares are more expensive in the states, I don’t know, only guessing
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
Still wondering how it took BMW 20 years before they realized that running 2 ECU's, 2 of every sensor, 2 high pressure fuel pumps, 2 of basically everything was a bad idea...
Because they used to be car enthusiasts. They created cars with souls. Now they make knock off Audi's.
Because repairs and maintenance is a way of them to get revenue and profit. Duh...

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.
Maybe if you rub some Keeps on your BMW it’ll grow some reliability
One just broke down in front of my house like an hour ago XD what a coincidence...

Can you not get the original pumps rebuilt, or aftermarket replacements?
Maybe find some on Ebay.
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.
@@dunebasher1971 I actually googled it not only can you get cheaper pumps but you can also rebuild them as i found a video doing just that.
@@graygryphon2008 Yeah, but that is less dramatic in a youtube video.
