Why the BMW 8 Series was the best BMW of the 90's
Received feedback about not enough close ups of the car so happy to go through with you in this video what the car looks like from the outside to the inside. All in all, a very looked after vehicle. Car has had 14 previous owners, MOT history shows that car has done 20 000 miles in nearly 20 years, a show car doing 1000 miles a year. This is a truly special car so join me in this episode where we take a look at the items left to get this car 100% perfect.

    Very informative and interesting journey you've had. I've always admired the original 8 series. I like a modern classic and I'm on a similar journey with a 2001 CL55. Just about to change rear shocks and brakes. Enjoy your car! Why did you choose the BMW? What did it cost and how much for all the repairs?

    • @makonimotors
      @makonimotors 15 днів тому

      Why did you choose the BMW? When I was growing I loved the sound of the 635i CSI cars. Mercedes AMG was great as well, then a neighbour bought a Macau Blue M3 and that became everyones favourite ever car. This car technically is two of the 2.5 engines which was already a classic. These are quite rare in UK, unlike America or Europe I honestly never thought I would ever find one What did it cost and how much for all the repairs? Car was 10K as it was salvage, repairs are at about £5000 as of now The sellers thought the problem on the car was the immobilisor Major problem left is the front suspension, other than that the wipers don't work, apparently there are a couple of metal washers that rust that need to be replaced I probably would have gone with a Mercedes of some description but feared the dreaded ABC suspension. Not the job itself but finding a shop/mechanic willling to do the job. Tyrell's Classic Workshop posted a video recently about his SL500 with some great tips about looking after one of these great cars. I might pick up a R107 or SL500, SL55 in the future once I see off a few cars as I have run out of space

      Like Chevrolet or Buick in America there is a huge dedication to these cars in the UK. This specific model was produced entirely in the UK,, engine at Bridgend and body in Solihul before this was moved to Mexico and India with the L405. I bought this car for rock bottom a price and now have a reliable car for just oevr £10 000 including the price of the car, with a new engine so this will last another 10 years. It might appear crazy to buy one of these cars but there is a Huge following. It is like using British Airways, you know there are better airlines but still use them because of who they are.

    The quality of JLR alloy wheels have always been very poor and they always suffer from corrosion. In contrast I have a 25 year old Toyota Land Cruiser that has near zero corrosion and also a 10 year Old Ford Ranger working in filthy conditions [it’s a work truck] that has zero corrosion on its alloy wheels. JLR just are cheaply built where it matters. They are certainly not built to be reliable and use cheap parts typified by the alloy wheels and poor unreliable engines.

    The Ingenium 2.0 diesel engines are plenty powerful enough. The issue is a poor design and quality of the timing chain and guides. I very nearly bought a First Edition Defender 110, whose performance was actually OK, but I had a very lucky escape. Ingenium have been continually improved in production of course and may well now be good engines. Every brand has their problem engines and/or transmissions from time to time, witness the Ford Ecoboost and Ecoblue and some BMW and Mini engines. The Ford made pre-ingenium V6 3.0 litre engine used by JLR that commonly snaps crankshafts.

      @@chrisglover2133 Very relevant to the brand and plenty of models before the Ingenium though. It’s a systemic problem with JLR going back to the 1970’s and I’ve had a large number of their products, both utility and luxury since then. Would have had many more if only they backed up their poor engineering and, historically, assembly also. They are a terrible company and the worse of the worse and it took me the longest time to finally dispel myself of the desire for their products. Only yesterday I was offered a Defender 90 250 with only 2500 miles covered in a year and I declined to purchase it from a private seller. I might have been tempted if he was willing to sell it for £10,000 less than the current new selling price, but he was not and I breathed a sigh of relief.

There’s always a compromise in every SUV or car, what are you willing to prioritise or compromise? Comfort/Luxury vs reliability/simplicity. I had a 2009 L322 supercharge before, I now have a discovery 4 sdv6 from 2013 to date and a Toyota Land Cruiser 4.5 diesel 2017 model, i have anxiety every time i go overlanding in the Discovery on what might fail, it has never left me stranded, not once , touch wood. But I’m so carefree and relaxed when i go overlanding in the Land Cruiser. All the best mate regards from South Africa.
