Most Reliable BMW's

#shorts

[MartinJones]

The most reliable BMW is anything with an N/A straight 6...

[mr_angry]

I've had my e36 for almost 22 years. Still my favorite BMW.

The amount of beat up mile e36 I have seen is insane the 90s was the best area for bmw

[AJGreen-cnkk]

Still daily drive my 04 E46, 243000 miles! One of the best cars I ever owned. Just keep up with the maintenance.

[stayvigilant]

How the hell is he not gonna put the N52 straight 6 in top 3 or least top 4 thats to me is maybe the best engine bmw made

[packssure]

I was shocked even before watching the video that a list of the most reliable BMW's is almost a whole minute long !!! :)

Still have my 740i which I've owned since 2001. Love it and would never think of selling it. Recently started getting it back to showroom level.

Proud owner of two e39s, a 528i and a 540i both manuals. The 6 cyl has 300k and the 540 200k, only thing is it likes to eat rear tires while sideways... 😊

[Faithinthedock]

I had an '85 M535i with the M30 engine. Absolutely rock solid. I also had a 6 cylinder E36 and that put up with all the abuse I could possibly throw at it.

[paulvarrieur]

I’m surprised you left out the M20. Simple, dependable, easy and fun to work on. M20’s can easily go 300, 000 miles with proper oil changes and periodic timing belt services.

The M54 engine straight 6 with a E53 chassis great engine with some of those engines reaching up to 500, 000 miles and still running.

15 years of ownership of my E39 525i Sport I'm pretty happy (apart from rust issues) here in the UK.

[mattpi]

I agree with him on the M30 Engines. They are bulletproof! You can boost those on stock internals with just MLS HeadGasket and ARP Headstuds.

[christanggt]

Yep won’t lie the E46 if you can address the cooling system and gaskets in time you’ll never have to do it again and the engine will last you for ages

My dad had a Granite Silver ‘92 E34 520i with the M50 engine and that did 385k miles on the original engine before cylinder number 3 let go and then it was swapped for a 525i engine and went on to almost 450k miles before he sadly scrapped the car.
It had loads of stone chips on the bonnet from motorway miles but zero rust on the body or underside and was still running sweet as a nut when it was taken away. Hardly did any maintenance on it either and it just ate up the miles day after day. I have no doubt it would still be running to this day if he kept it, the thing was a tank.

[gilgonzalez]

Why is the N52 not on this list?! Plenty of 250k+ mile N52 cars out there!

[gregculverwell]

What about the E34?
I had a 535i which I drove hard for 350 000 miles and 21 years. The only unusual expenses was a cracked radiator header tank, CV joints and 3x rubber drive cushions on the gearbox.
Oh and several replacements of rear bushes on the front control arms until I replaced them with the 750i parts (never any further trouble)

As a German I love that kind of BMW-Bashing here.
Being a BMW- and US-V8-Car-Fan and being confronted with a lot of US-Car-Bashing here in Germany it is just funny to read it.

[Soulkollextor]

I had an N55 for 5 years M135i Lci and I miss it. Right now i have the B58 M240i and Im having a vanos problem less than a year later.

The 1.9L in-line 4 cylinder Austrian engine in my 1997 E36 Z3 is a great naturally aspirated engine and was the last BMW engine to have a metal valve cover and metal intake manifold.
