I Bought a Cheap Twin Turbo V8 BMW at Auction with a Strange Message on the Windshield

I bought this 2000 Cadillac Crystal Coach Hearse at Copart Salvage Auction with Mechanical Damage. The bid was super cheap but in the end it ended up costing over $1000 to get rid of it. I also bought a Twin Turbo V8 BMW 550i with a locked up engine, I tried starting it anyway.

Hi Sam, as the hearse had a spare, why didn't you put it on?

Buying a used high-end Beemer is like dating an aging supermodel with a really really bad coke habit.

Still nice to look at, but the price you end up paying is just not worth it.

Rofl i love how he avoided using the word "coffin" the whole time.

This happened to a friend of mine when his car had 65K miles and he called bmw HQ and bitched about it they ended up giving him a discount on a long block instead of paying 7600 for a long block he got the engine from the dealership next to him for 3500 and payed a thousand dollars to get it installed it’s an amazing car

Hi Sam. That might have been my old car. If so it was stolen last year. After recovery the Insurance company had deemed the car beyond repairable and Totaled the vehicle. It always leaked oil (would have to add a quart of oil very often) and had battery issues all the time. Though the car is beautiful and very powerful it was a lemon from the time I got it. Best of luck. Happy to give you more information on the car if you can determine if it came from Nashville.

I really like the behind the scenes aspect of the video. Nice job. We all love the content and watching things get fixed but getting there is part of the challenge.

Oh man I wish you had that Hearse in Chicago. I had a spare nitrous kit for it!

These sponsors are not paying him enough.

God I'm having war-time flashbacks watching this video. I've had some rough experiences with those turbo BMWs lol. Imagine feeling the embarrassment of driving such a nice car down the highway, but out of NOWHERE you fill up all 8 lanes of the freeway with a thick blue smoke and not being able to do anything about it

Superior Coach has been making specialty vehicles for 90 years. I had one that was a 1965 Pontiac Bonneville Hearse with a 421 engine... What a blast that was to drive to the junk yards picking up muscle car parts.!!

When you see those woods full of rare old cars with trees growing through the engine bay. This is how they start! 👍

[neighborsgoat]

That hearse needed a hearse for itself!

[Splituk]

The hearse is going to 'rust in peace'.

[davidferreira]

Sam the type of guy to hit 1 million subs and not talk about it on Youtube.

[jesper]

Hoovie: Welcome to the stupidest car channel on YouTube.
Samcrac: Hold my beer.

[markchip]

The amount of rust on that cursed hearse definitely qualifies it as a "deathtrap" - groans!!!

[AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Thank you for this video bro. I've been buying a lot of cars lately and seeing the king of Copart make mistakes makes me feel tons better! Have a good one!

[andrewlace]

Great video Sam, appreciate watching someone humble enough to admit their losses. Keep up the good work.

[craigsanislo]

Sam keeps buying cars that I have, and have the same issues. My 2011 Range Rover is about to need a timing chain, and my 2014 550i got a new engine under warranty six months ago. Keep it up sam you rock and these videos are great!

As the program was, BMW supplies a short engine, it has heads, valve covers, spark plugs vacuum pump, water pump. I put one in and it was $12k with all the other stuff, injectors, turbos, gaskets, seals, one time use bolts and fluids... brand new updated engine with zero miles. It's actually more like a long block, with new turbos and tune it's easy 500 horse and running perfect. The program for replacement BMW was covering 90% of the short engine cost. In other words it's a $30, 000 engine that you get if you're lucky it's going to be $9k to $15k with labor and stuff. The one I did took me a a week but held up the hoist for almost a month waiting for parts.
