I Should've Listened...Another BIG Bill for my E92 M3.

Another big repair bill for my daily driven E92 M3... The car is now fixed, but was off the road for 2 months due to this problem - today I update you on what went wrong, how I fixed it...but how I could've avoided it!

After all the work and cash that you’ve spent on it I’d keep it. I’ve had an
E46 M3 CS for 17 years and put 140k miles on it. Had the odd year where several things go wrong with big
£££ bills, but you get through those bad periods and enjoy it again. There’s so many more good days than bad : keep it & enjoy it👍🏼

If anything sort the front end out, those number plate holes are shocking lol

[TimChump]

Thank you for documenting all this I’ve been tempted to sell my M2 and go for an E92 many times, i still think about it.
But after watching this I realised there is no way I could afford to maintain one 😮

Life is short! Enjoy the car! I have 2011 BMW E90 M3 with 124k miles! I bought it at 120k miles on an impulse buy. The amount of smiles that the car has given me. Priceless.

Sold mine for as you say, stupid costs. Which were exactly what i expected and calculated before buying, but it just wasnt worth the money. I never really enjoyed mine. Glad i owned one but stock they are flawed. I think a clubsport build might be fun. But its still a costly machine. So heavy and insulated.

Keep it for now mate. Why spend all that cash getting it sorted for somebody else to enjoy. You'll never get all of the money you've invested back anyhow.

I had mine 3 years and it’s been an absolute dream. All ready had about 6-7k spent on her. But that’s carbon fibre, Rod bearings and other preventatives. All I can say is don’t buy a car you can’t afford… stick to ur PCP m4s 😂 this car looks the best, sounds the best and is one of the best

[GeorgeAusters]

I make common problem videos for BMWs to help prevent people having to spend ££££ on them.. Well worth watching them before you buy a car!

[hugohugo]

I’ve just spent £20k on my 996. I was going to sell it but thought why not enjoy it. Now I’m keeping it.

Mate - jack it up and do it yourself = yep same with Focus RS mk 1 - the one thing available from ford and its £1200 lol - you can fully poly bush front back and get a decent rack for all that money - and the satisfaction of doing it yourself - you CAN do it mate !!!!

Those holes in the front number plate recess are setting my OCD off 😂

[realmusicreallife]

I have a x5 40d..3.0 twin turbo sttaight six.. Rocker cover gasket was leaking. Was quoted 700 quid for new gasket fitted. Did it myself for 35 quid plus injection puller off amazon

Great cat and video. It makes me happy with what I spend. It would be financial suicide for me to run one of these and there is more to life than a flash car you are to afraid to use properly.

I just got my rack rebuilt- they can rebuild any rack no matter the issue. £300. My labour was £170Funny you mention quarry motors. I bought a power steering pump from them for my M3 and they sent me the wrong pump then wouldn't let me return it. Not a good company

This is my first visit to your page. Don’t sell it, the E92/93 or a nice looking cars and they will look nice in years to come. I will shear this, I own a E93, during lockdown I decided I would use the time to sort my E93 out. I spent approximately £4000 on parts. I changed all the injectors, coil packs, lambda sensors, Nitro sensor, MAF sensor, EGR valve, Rocker cover, repair the Alternator and replaced Belt and Pulley, front whee bearings, replaced electric windows main control switch. Now what started this when it went in for its MOT the garage said the management light was coming and indicated the fuel pump was the problem, i give the Ok and they replaced it all was ok. Few miles later the problem return after several visits the still couldn’t resolve the problem. Covid 19 came.. Lockdown. Hence, I systematically went through everything I know that would likely to fail due to the mileage ( 80000) . It has performed beautifully since then. I am reluctant to part with this motor. I don’t drive it the winter that often. So don’t sell yours if you don’t have to .. in years to come they will be the model that many people will be wanting to own. Good luck.

Keep it OEM+ or do a clubsport build (that’s still nice to drive on the road) and save it for special occasions so running costs will be less of a worry and you’ll appreciate driving it more. Sell the A45 and get a reliable daily on the cheaper end that you can still make content on

[jimmymcjames]

Not incessantly giggling so much in this one are you! 😂😂 I however, was laughing like **** 🤣🤣 fingers crossed something else goes wrong and it costs you even more! 🤞😂 Well done dodging the bee like a little girl though 😂😂

[pezza]

I think get rid as it’s becoming a money pit tbh! Sounds amazing but I just think it’s time for something else

[JordieMotive]

Awesome car but I'm in a position where the money spent on it would kill my love for it after a while

[gregwilldoitllc]

Could you get any more number plate holes in your front bumper?
