7:28 "Sometimes with BMWs, if they're idling can be indication all sorts of faults" 😆 That is some wisdom 👍🏻

For £500, that's an absolute screaming deal Mat. Even at twice the price, I'd have that off you in a heartbeat. You hit the nail on the head, this is a diy'ers dream.
Loving the videos, and good luck going forward.

That 1/4 tank of diesel is worth £500 alone 😯

Lovely to see the E91 is still going strong. My E90 325i on a ‘55’ plate has just passed 404, 000 miles. I bought it at 150, 000 miles and to the best of my knowledge is still on the original clutch, gearbox and exhaust. It had the lifters done at 180k and other than that it’s mainly been suspension issues; springs, dampers, bearings, etc. that have caused me any bother. it’s a bit rusty now but it just goes to show these cars will do the mileage if serviced and maintained.

It’s good to see the channel doing so well that you have hired a camera person! Love these videos so helpful when looking for used car gems.

I've just noticed the step up in camera work apologies if it's not new and I'm just noticing but it's great. I love these cars keep them coming.

Come onnnn. 330d. I love that engine. M57 is a frickin beast. I have it in my e53 with a remap. Super torquey

The smoke issue could well be that the crankcase breather needs replacing. They get blocked up, a new Febi one is about £35 and they are fairly easy to change yourself watching a YouTube guide, and you may as well change the air filter whilst your at it. I did mine on my 320d E90 M47 which is almost the same to work on as the 330d M57 just with two less cylinders. Cured my smoke upon acceleration problem.

Just put some "Stanadyne" injector cleaner in the tank, I used it every other fill up and no smoke or EGR valve trouble ! AND do not let the level in the tank go below a 1/4 as the fuel pumps get too hot and burn out.

[davidcano]

Guy from Spain here, you’re absolutely right, with the M package and a good condition overall that’s a 6k euro car and what’s worst, it wouldn’t be to bad if a deal. Love your channel, keep it up!

[Meeffoc]

Different angles on the drive was really nice! Only thing that I missed was you entering the car first time on first person, it feels more like we're with you. In third person it felt far like we didn't get to see the panel, lights, radio test and etc like previous videos, I missed that. But this format is very nice, congrats

As you said Matt, not a retail car but for a DIY home mechanic a car that (with a few fixes) will give good service and look way more expensive than the investment, even at a £1k it stunning value, would break for more than that in parts!

[Ali-ewgv]

I think I prefer these type of videos done on a handheld camera like you used to. Feels more authentic

[stephenlane]

Nice video Matt I’m still driving around the UK in a 320d touring racked up 213, 800 miles so far. Never lets me down, it’s frugal and nice to drive.

[ruk--]

Starters always last 100-120k on e90's, I reckon your guess is spot on about it having problems.

I bought the Carly reader for my Audi at £80 and then found out I had to pay the same again in a subscription to make it fully work. It didn’t, things it said it could do wouldn’t work. A waste of money in my opinion and I sent it back and got a refund.

[brenglover]

It's a breaker or a doer upper. The previous keeper did the right thing chopping it in - they avoided private buyers wanting a 16 year old car with no issues.

[raymck]

No service history but you have a couple of cupholders Sir, said the Sales Manager Matt said enthusiastically to Mr Mrs Jones from Leeds who had driven all the way to see the car. Matt you bloody funny mate

One of the best Diesel engines ever made!

[DulceSeeker]

I dont want to be a mole but diesel oil is always black because straight away once it catches that soot from engine it turns black more important is if its sludgy or contains coolant but from black colour alone no one can tell as long as its there its lubricating....
