hi Calvin got a car for planet of dreams if u intrested astra h vxr
@@mejostanley8461it’s planet of dreams not planet of misery 😂😂
Are you OK?
Nice to see a customer selling Calvin a car and not trying to shaft him. Definitely a genuine customer 👊🏾
I think he’s a genuine guy who believes everything that people tell him, kudos to you Calvin for already offering to agree paying above book regardless.
Great to see you still done a deal with the car of his choice. 👍🏻👏🏻
That guy makes me smile...he seems a genuine guy......he must be hurting though having paid 8k on the new engine.
ngl, If my mechanic told me "ah, its just a sensor" then 200 miles later the car dropped an engine, I'd be expecting the bill at least partially covered... Also, the fact the car hs just had a brand new engine near enough and has drivetrain issues 2000 miles later would have me hesitant to be back at that garage.
Shame man we’ve all been there with the car that costs you an absolute fortune and then you take a loss I’ve certainly been there when I was younger and before I could work on cars myself or knew anything. Good luck to him seems like a sound geeza
My neighbour took a golf VR 6 to a mechanic who basically destroyed the engine. It turns out the mechanic, didn’t quite manage to put it all back… “ what is this plastic bit? Ahhh probably won’t matter”
@@ouethojlkjn That is why good mechanic is a must.There is channel in my country call "buduci klasici" (future classics ) who import older V8 V10 cars mostly from Switzerland and service them totaly and then put to sell .He record all that is wrong with them and most off time what is wrong is that they are wrongly serviced or that many stuff was put in service book by dealer like it was replaced but they were never actually replaced so customer was lied .
LIke some cars that have in book that had try life changed fuel filter 3-4 times had still original filter dated to when car was produced ,or in book how transmition filter and oil was changed with a dealer stamp but when they remove it its still all original filter and transmition oil turned to muddy water.
What a top guy Gabriel is, very genuine too :)
Only ever bought a car once from a Romanian, that was a £5000 lesson learnt. 😂
£5000 lesson burnt
Same.. 4k and the car stopped shifting gears once it was warmed up.. ended up scrapping the car 2 wks later. For £150 😢
This guy seems alright, dressed good and seems to be well off
@@Dean_ceethey all seem to dress well and dress smart however
Dress well🤔😂
Having a geniunine mechanic you can trust is a must these days.
They are like rocking horse shite.
"Did you do a Car Vertical check... well done" 🤣🤣🤣
This was a good video, even slightly edge of your seat 😄 i think the evolution of your attitude to response and purchase due to RUclips comment section, good and bad is in the right direction for you and shows you're a Pro. You are such a sincere and fair bloke and in this case, he was such a decent n genuine bloke this video was an interesting hit n miss. Was spot on, Enjoyed it.
Love how he still purchased the 330! Must hurt spending 8k on repairs to get 11 back 😫
I know how he feels my golf r rear diff has gone and the price for just the diff is £5800.
@stichupman nightmare mate hopefully you'll be back on the road in no time
Great video Calvin, he seemed like a geniune bloke I felt sorry for how much money he put into that X5 probably got ripped off by the sounds of it. Unfortunately, the X5 is a bit of a money pit at high mileage and what BMW tell you is that things like the gearbox oil are 'lifetime' which is nonsense. These maintenance items are crucial incliding changing the tranfer box oil and diff oils when you get close to 100k which not a lot of people know about plus very hard to find a reliable garage these days....
My rear diff on my golf r has completely gone and vw are trying to pass blame on me saying the diff oil was drained when the haldex was done and that's what caused the diff to fail hence not paying out on warranty and the total repair costs is about 6.5k but I'm fighting it.
I watch some channel that service cars and that 'lifetime' gearbox oil is turned in to mood water.
Respect to calv for putting up with broken cars can't imagine the stress he has to go through with every cars having issues
Imagine the content of it wasn’t the case.
Nontent @@Neil2022
you're glazing, he's making back the cost just off this video buying the car 😂
fly tipping is really bad on them side roads
Genuine nature makes your channel a pleasure to follow. Well done.
beautiful words Klaribel!
I do like that BMW brown interior
Definitely it looks really nice
Class video once again, Calvin. Looking for to seeing you at your event in summer 🎉
Excellent video extremely transparent can't fault you Calvin and i personally really do love the brown interior so tastefully nice 👍 23:12
I think that you made a very strong offer considering the trade price . Great content as always
8k for a engine rebuild on a car that’s only worth about 6-7 grand is crazy.
Very polite man
He’s a lovely guy
Bloke seems pleasant enough, but buying another bmw ,even after the drama he has had with x5. He's nuts. My opinion.
Buying a G20 330e, a much better and reliable car
@@JoshXCVIIIreliable? 😂😂😂😂😂, no bmw is reliable, there is a reason we call it bmtroubleyou
@@lexrus7786bmtroubleyou haha never heard that before that's pretty good.
@@lexrus7786 what?😂 are you just a hater or have you just had awful experiences?😂
@@lexrus7786 What would you suggest buying? nothing wrong with bmw you pleb.
6:59 we didnt deserve that mate 😢
🤣 Anyone else replay to 6:59 to catch up? 🫣
@@steveng5503yer me 😂
I really don’t get the logic of somebody trying to sell a car knowing it has issues. Fix the issues, then try and sell it. If i was Calvin, i wouldn’t touch it!!!
I think its because they can't pay to get it fixed or fix it themselves
Calvin - the 330e is such a good car overall in terms of performance, comfort, functionality etc can we get a full review?
There’s a reoccurring theme here chap… buying bag of nails BMW’s from punters… 😉
I once had an overheating problem in 1989 and never bought another BMW since I've probably saved myself a fortune over the years, lol 😆 😅
The whining in reverse can happen to all the early production 8HP models, Built before 2014 or so.
The whining is caused by the 3rd wheel set in the transmission.
The three planetoid wheels of the 3rd wheel set are bedded on round washers, which divide the planetoid wheels from the aluminum frame where the wheels are mounted.
These round washers are causing the whining!
The round washers can/will also work themselves into the aluminum frame over the time, causing a even louder whining and possibly causing also a sudden complete transmission malfunction.
ZF has actually fixed this in the production, by using oval washers instead of round washers.
Solution:
The Service Manager told me, that they can repair the "whining" transmissions using parts of the later produced 8HP with oval washers (and some other parts)
He also told me that an exchange with a refurbished transmission of the same type will possibly not solve the whining, because the refurbished transmissions will normally also get the round washers.
The fix, using parts of a later production series for a early production series transmission is a hack of this Service Center.
It will not be applied by ZF refurbishing center.
Cost for the repair around € 4'000.- (Euros)
At least the cause of the whining is clear to me now.
It's actually "normal" because it's the way of how the unit was designed.
But it's a poor design, which ZF recognized and re-designed.
The guy sounds like a russian mafia lol

From what I read anyway. 3k transmission rebuild…
That’s full Romanian spec right there. The visual mods, and even the mechanical conditions 😂
Is this added the bit of audio missed from the one i see earlier 🤔
Yes lol. My ocd couldn’t handle having a video live with a minute of no audio.
I thought my amp had died again. Thankfully not!
@@CalvinsCarDiary I was thinking it was my phone at 1st rewinding back to see if audio there 🤣🤣🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Low mileage for it's age, can't expect a ten year old vehicle to have 30k miles on the clock.
What a nice bloke he was
He only wants the money
He's not going to give it away!?@@bestcrazyboy8487
Loving the gearbox diagnostic chat in the back lane frequented by fly tippers and doggers… 😜
10k for that car is very very generous. Id have offered 8.5
Worth no where near 10k imo. Paying 7k for an engine rebuild on that is totally uneconomical repair can't get my head round why anyone would do that.
With a new engine and 2 new turbo's? Lovely spec too.
8k gamble at most
I was expecting an £8.5k offer from the main man Calv, £10k was very generous.
i think the engine warranty paid a factor in that price.
He spent 8k on engine rebuild. But funny enough he reckons gearbox only needs oil chance. Why not pay few pound get it done then. I didn't trust him soon as 1st word came out his mouth. Calvin you were lucky not get burnt there. 10k uou were gaving crazy.
Excellent offer that £500 over CAP price with a fault on box,
You should have connected your Carly to it. 😊
I wouldnt touch it with a barge pole there is no sentiment in Business.
Car dealing is such a sketchy business
But this is always about the content creation. I would have run away at the sound of engine rebuild.
I’ve had a 2014 320d for years and 2016 vw amarok sound the exact same in reverse
Calvin, you must be the most fair car dealer in history. 👍🏼
Mate it don't matter what people think you know what's right for you get well soon
Aahh sh*t here we go again! 😂
The confidence some people have in what they are trying to shift blows my mind.
I’d be at 8 FLAT as is. Allowing 1.5-2 hurt money, you’d walk away pretty for that. 8.250 MAX! 😅
outstanding content calvin your the man love all the stuff you do in youtube
It started knocking this morning😂😂 aye they always do eh
Hopefully hes much happier on his new car.
After market camera is the issue. It's the canbus interference coming through speakers
It’s not speaker interference it’s a mechanical sound.
😂
Dammmm poor guy. Glad you stil got a sale out of it. Had similar issue . 👏👏👏👏👏
I sold a car to a Romanian. Actually, there were four of them in a big black Audi Q8. They turned out to be nice lads and paid in cash. The worrying bit was meeting them on a field somewhere near the Dartford Tunnel.
💀💀😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Think u dodged a bullet with that x5
Anybody with Xdrive needs star rated tyres or Xdrive messes up and gearbox to do with rolling resistance and silica compound of the tyre / weight
Don’t listen to what dealerships tell you mate. The difference in rolling resistance between two different tyres does not mess up a gearbox.
However mismatched size tyres would potentially cause differential damage.
. A 225 40 18 continental is not the same as a 225 40 18 Michelin . They are not made equally . So yes you don’t specifically need star market but you do need all tyres of the same brand and model
@@toomuchsauce4442 check tyre review star against non star on a bmw m4 watch the difference in handling
What details you need to sign up to enter reg as a trader? Just company name and registration ?
Yep that’s about it mate
He’s over paid on that repair, and most likely didn’t need new turbos. Could have had a recon engine put in for far less.
It's a money pit car, and trying to get rid before something else goes wrong with it.
Great video Calv as
always,
Good to hear will @ VRS is on auto speed dial 🤣👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It's never been worth 11k. Book value is book value, fact he got ripped a new whole paying 7k on an engine for it is his own doing, that was an uneconomical repair should have been scrap.
would you be interested in buying a bmw z4 its an import white in colour with black alloys just over 30000 thousand miles on the clock part service history rf13 wfx is the reg?
Classy on the inside but Chavi on the outside. Nice 👌😁
Run!!! 😂
What a nice gent. Shame the car has cost him so much and it’s still not right. Hope he gets a good outcome on the X5
My 530 did the same noise in reverse never was an issue I thought it was normal lol
Normal, there ain't nothing Normal when it comes to beemers ,especially where noises are concerned?🤔😬🙈🙈👁👀👁🤷💀💀💀
My missus F21 M135i has done it since she bought it. Plenty of threads on forums of guys having the sound from new. Her cars on 80k miles and she got it at 40k. It was serviced at 45k miles as well. Made zero difference.
Calvin giving a masterclass on how to buy a car ❤
Calvin that noise in reverse could be the diy reverse camera.
Sounds like the noise was coming through the stereo.👍🏻
really?
It wasn’t
I was going to say don't know what everyone is on saying it's the speakers because of interference 😅 was it the gearbox? @@CalvinsCarDiary
I bet Gabriel wishes he'd thought of that one 😂😂
His coat matches the mirror caps
As soon as I heard Romania it's wraps
Thanks for this video Calvin. I was wearing my rose tinted specs this weekend looking at a X5 same year as this. I had a niggling doubt it could be disastrous. I will take this video as a sign not to proceed with it. You dodged a bullet with that car as it sounds like an ongoing headache
This car doesn't mean every x5 has issues 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
If you’re looking for an X5 i recommend the E53 my dad owns a 06 3.0L Diesel and its just passed 160k miles with no issues other then the normal service parts.
@@SweeTM8- They are great cars, mine is on 250k and just keeps going
@@f_2019 yes it does….. ticking time bombs
@@jimjam1934 damn what did you buy it on
Great content, nice guy least he left happy with a tasty beamer
I’ll be honest, I would have ran a mile from that car! I do understand that it makes Channel content but there is better stock out there for sure.
Life on the ocean waves… a-skipity-dippity-doooo! Out of the pan and straight into another one! I do exactly the same myself, every two years from 1987. Got no ideas why. Everyone a M57 with ZF automatic transmission. The xdrive is the reason why I won’t buy the twin turbo. Horrid drive IMO and the thought of the driveshaft mounted through the sump concerns me. I guess trick is don’t own one outside of the manufacturers warranty.
Nico from gta 😂
Can we have a proper follow up to this once resolved please?
Sounds like the turbo's to me.
A BMW brand new is a nightmare let alone a used one.
Gearbox oil needs changing
I put full fat veg oil in myn
Calvin is a legend man. Lets them down gently. Great businessman!
Look at the car. Listen to the seller. Walk away.
low transmission fluid, dirty transmission fluid, and a damaged transmission position sensor
This guys quality! 😂😂
Buyer should check warranty garage get them fix it and keep it
Calv you are such a great guy. Bless you.. I'm uk born, etc but times are mad now with... (you know what I mean)... But calv, you are a legend
What's 'you know what I mean' ?
I want to know what you mean 😂😂😂
Was this re-upload because of that mute bit that last video?
Come on Call, give him £19,000 for his troubles
Feel bad for him, needs a better mechanic. At least he got the car he wanted!
more than generous offer from you
They are just money pits, we had one for towing talk about unreliable
Whats with all the fly tipping 15:00 is that normal?!
Around MK yes.
Knew it was a Romanian spec from just the thumbnail 😂
I was very upset with the engine 😂🤣🤣
Absolute no one
Calvin is the gearbox alright on it
Seems a decent guy, but buying another bmw is mad after all the issues with the x5, imo 😬
damn, thats a lot of miles
engine rebuild required type of miles like he had to do
Top bloke him. Seemed very genuine and honest.
IMO with a full engine rebuild and two new turbos it was worth 11k at the very least. Lovely spec with extra's and lots of miles left in it with the new engine. Maybe could have been a nice daily for the channel? I thought it looked a lovely car this.
Not sure why he wanted to part with it to be honest having put so much money into it.
Good video. 👍
Not a chance
Your mad
I would like to buy it when you finished im looking for x5 in the netherlands
"Fi-lappy Paddlez"
Great video! Both of you made for great content. Love that brown leather!
He’d probably have been better off selling the car for parts rather than fixing the engine.
dress smart for the video so you borrow your grandads jacket 😂 epic
Or give the dog his blanket back ta dum tsscchh..😂
Ill get my coat ..........
140k...it's been the moon and back yet he still thought it worth £11 grand ? dream on.
Well he has his own business and is making money somehow
So maybe he knows the value of these cars?
Not in a rude way or anything but never buy a car from a Romanian or Bulgarian. Got one had to spend a LOT to get it good
Yep same spent about 4k on mine . From romanian guy 😅
Not everyone is that bad. I could say the same never buy from a Brit, only shit cars :) I’ve been burned as well. You need to do your homework no matter what and Calvin’s not stupid. I’ve been burned twice by genuine “gentleman’s”, luckily enough or stupidly enough for my behalf I like to take care of my cars, so literally all the cars I’ve sold, the buyers got lucky! I’m still looking at a car that I’ve sold at 134k and now has over 220k. The only thing that I can advice as a Romanian is never buy from a gipsy or from a traveler or don’t sell it either 🙄. Unless you want potatoes 🥔 in your exhaust 🤣.
