Replace the cooling system before 10 years or 150k miles and replace the transmission fluid every 60k and they will literally run forever.

What Is the Most Reliable BMW You Can Buy?

- The one is still on warranty! :)

My 330 ci has been very reliable, I just do the regular maintenance. The key in buying a used car in general is the number of owners and maintenance records, this will show what issues the car had and that the car was cared for

I love n52 smoothest engine ever, like a butter, and sounds great.

[kennethlow]

People want a fast car, highest specifications and expect it to run forever for $5000. To those people, continue dreaming on.

The problems are usually electronic. I towed plenty bmw cars and iit was always the case. Never an engine issue.

I'd say a 2006-2007 BMW E90 325-328 is probably the best BMW u can get for the money. Decent Interior / Exterior and the overall driving feeling is amazing. Surprisingly reliable as well. From where I live, I see them going for 5-8k with around 100k-120k Miles which is pretty fair for what the car offers. They go for the same price as Civic's and Corolla's of the same year / Mileage. Used to own one last year and it's hands down the best BMW u can get for the money . I still remember how people used to think that my 2006 was a 2011 and that I paid 20-25k for it.

You forgot the M20 motor. I bought a 325is 1990 with the m20b25 motor with 192, 000 miles, change the timing belt and water pump (which did not actually need changing at the time but wanted to get it out-of-the-way) and basically beat it to death for another 125k. Not a single issue whatsoever. Sold it about a year ago to a kid in Utah who drove out to California to buy it for me. He sends me pictures every once in a while and so far he says the motor is still running strong. It’s got to be nearing 330k+

Naturally aspirated inline-6, that's the essence which sums it up. Great video, you nailed it!

[nathanpen]

I'm driving an 06 e90 325 and I'm clocking 267k miles and the biggest problem recently I had was I had to replace the water pump at 200k and replace the hood latch at 265k

[sydbell]

I will agree with you on the 330Ci E46, have had two in my time and both given no bother. Really quick and
give the M3 a run for the money.Comfortable and nice to be in.

I bought a used 2007 BMW E92 330i back in 2013, it had 109, 000 km on the clock (a bit less than 68K miles). This is a 3.0 liter inline six normally aspirated port injection N52 magnesium engine delivering 272hp at 7, 000 rpm. It's my weekend car, I do roughly 8, 000 km a year with it, so not an awful lot. Now with 142k km on the clock.

No HPFP issues (only low pressure fuel pump in this model) port injected (no direct injection so valves get cleaned by fuel), no turbo failures (normally aspirated), no electric failures, no limp mode, no horror stories. Maybe I've been lucky I don't know but the only thing I did to the car was change the battery this year, it was 11 years old from factory, not bad, would still start but the crank was a bit longer than usual and I didn't want to risk it. That was a 100 euros job at an independent trusted garage. The other thing that needs fixing is the rear parking sensor which no longer works. I won't be repairing it as I don't need it. That's it. Other BMW owners in the community advise to look out for a few things prone to go at some point (electric water pump, thermostat, valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket, oil pan gasket). But so far so good, touch wood.

It only cost me 15.5K euros back in 2013, was worth 54K new with the few extras (amazing montego blue, full cream leather interior, piano black decoration, M3 wheels, sports suspension etc.). A very clean and uncluttered dashboard, no useless idrive, no obsolete navi, no touchscreens, good old fashion buttons feeling solid, almost a sober cabin by today's luxury standards with no gadgets, no nonsense. The only entertainment I get is when plugging my 2013 160gb iPod (I still use one of these) via the digital port into a very decent stereo with well rounded speakers, or my phone (using the jack, although not as good a sound as iPod).

The real pleasure comes from the driving, the way it communicates to me through the steering wheel, the pedals and the manual gearbox. The precision of the steering and the smooth progression of the accelerator is a real joy. It's not crazy fast like a turbo 335 but plenty enough for me, still manages 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.9s. This is all the car I need to put a smile on my face.

So in my experience with the limited use I make of it, I'm extremely satisfied for the money I paid.

i have an E39 with the M52 short block, it has 210, 000 miles on it.. still rides better then any other cars i drive! i work on cars for a living so i drive a lot of different cars. i also own a E53... ive owned my E39 now for 8 years and past few have been thinking bout making it a street/track car with new rebuilt motor.. tested old block, went 3 years no oil change! Vanos never stopped working nothing broke... test ended tho, car is in body shop and upgrades have began.. love that car man! its my whipping post and it never fails! 1997 BMW 528i 5speed

I have an 06 bmw 325i. I bought it around $15000, in 2014 with a auto loan. Paid if off and now it currently has about a 201000. I traveled a lot! I driven cross country, drove to work, school, and honestly it has satisfied me. I did regular maintenance such as oil change and filter every 3000 miles. Between 150000-180000 miles I changed a lot of parts. From the radiator, alternator, starter, water pump, thermostat, fluids, spark plugs, ignition coils, air filter, new shocks, rotors, brakes, tires, had to do a paint job in both bumpers bc NY drivers are horrible at parking. Seats are not even ripped which I’m still surprised. Parts were expensive along with labor, but when you invest so much on a car that your financing and don’t want it getting repossessed by the bank, by the time you pay it off, your lose is someone else’s gain. My insurance decreased too significantly because cars that have a lien on it, insurance companies will Charge you more. So by the time I paid it off, I was like well, it hasn’t disappointed me, I invested in it heavily and don’t want to risk getting another car with a loan and banks charge you really high interest rates and theses dealers are very manipulative on making money the second you walk in. A $10000 car with a 72 month financing agreement, your paying double the amount when it’s finished. Leases, you have mileage restrictions, and your auto insurance is high too. Best bet, have a paid off car and drive normal and don’t abuse it, your vehicle will run perfectly.

I’m very happy with my 2011 328i XDrive .. it’s loaded with all the goodies like a 335.. Sport package, Nav, Harman Kardon, comfort access and adaptive xenons.. bought it CPO 4 years ago with 18k, just turned 140k and had lots done just before warranty ran out at 100k. It’s like brand new still and I love this car.. it has been very reliable and I take it on 4 hour trips all the time up north to Vermont for snowboarding trips and I thoroughly trust it... knock on wood lol. Just purchased the water pump kit and need to get that done ASAP.. I’m on borrowed time with that.

[theepicricemaker]

I have an n52 block, had to replace the fromt crank shaft and the valve cover seals at 230k miles. Expensive, but worth it. These things are bullet proof and I drive mine like a damn maniac.

[bmwlane]

My 2005 e60 530i has been great. 355, 000 miles and no major problems. Still looks great and drives great.

[georgegold]

I still remember when you had 800 subs, now over 2300.... keep up the great work bro :)

[ErinRaciell]

Yes! Im just about to go pick up my 328i with red seats and wood finish tomorrow! So exited! Thanks for this video!

[saganworshipper]

Just bought my very first BMW this week and I pick it up tomorrow. It's a 2008 328xi 6spd manual transmission that was a 1 owner car and has only 80k miles on it. Never any accidents. All maintenance records and service was done at BMW. It was owned by a woman in her 50's who traded it in for a 2019 Honda Accord. I had to pay a little more because I bought it from a dealer but after taxes and dealer fees and registration and insurance it cost me $8, 800. I think it was a fair deal. I hope the car lasts awhile, it is an absolute pleasure to drive. My last ride was a 1995 Jeep Cherokee with 270k miles, which i still plan to drive to take fishing or save miles on the BMW. That motor is also a straight 6 4.0L and is absolutely bulletproof! Thanks for the video!
