Can Ninja save this Beat Down BMW X6 M?

- Tyler Hoover's BMW X6 M is a complete beat down mess. Jonny discovers that a salvage engine was installed and had been slapped together to get the car to auction.
Is it savable? Either way, it will always be ugly.

You know the last guy screwed up bad when Jonny starts dropping f-bombs.
Facts.
F*cks.
Can't imagine Johnny's level of disbelief. Even I was pissed looking at that level of BS in that engine bay. The salvaged number still on the engine tells me they didn't even clean the engine, that's how fcuked up whoever previously touched it ... and to think that they get paid to do that is WoW!!
I've seen those level of BS in the 90s when the guy that work on it came from another country as an illegal migrant. Can't read or write bcoz never went/finish school. Have no work permit, insurance or social security hence low self confidence to learn/ask anyone afraid that he might get found out. Can't even speak basic English.
The guy that hired him and the foreman that was supposed to monitor his job are worst. They probably got the money to start the buisness but very low IQ on how to run it and getting the job done right.
Hopefully the car Ninja charged Hoovie an additional pain and suffering fee for this heap.
when I was contracting and I had to "undo" a mess left by someone else I did add in a PITA fee. (pain in the a$$). Hoping the customer would balk but a lot of times they'd say "ok, that's fair go ahead" lol.....A LOT of the times if the customer was on a short budget/ nice people I'd get them involved and make my life easier.
The wizard probably already does 😂
Double Time!!
Fixing other people's mistakes is always a pain in the tush, but there is nobody better to get the job done than Jonny. 👍
All those vacuum leaks may actually have saved the engine, otherwise it would have been driven hard until it failed lol
The Car Ninja is like the happy version fo the Car Wizard.
I swear, every time Jonny calls Tyler in one of these videos, it sounds like Tyler just woke up 😁
I think it’s frustration in the tone of his voice, because Tyler knows, if Ninja is calling, it’s bad……REALLY BAD..
this is the 2nd or 3rd video where Tyler sounds like he is yawning from a nap or just waking up.
@@robertsturtevant6185 it's the typical *sigh* "daamnn, im about to have to spend more money 😒" voice
Maybe thats why his wife left him.And motor trend suck s
It's because he's a stoner. You guys know that right?
Loose O2 sensors, o rings and bolts missing and crankcase breathing system broken! Been at this for over 50 years and have to say I have seen a lot of trash jobs from others that had to be fixed. But, this is the biggest mess I have ever seen 😮! Lots of respect Jonny! I know this one is a real pain 😢!
One of my favorite mechanics and UA-camrs always such a great attitude 💪🇺🇸
Wish I had a mechanic like the ninja in my city
Me too. I want a good go over on my 2001 vr6 but only dealership for VW here. How many mechanics there have or know anything bout that car anymore.
@@russelljacob7955 yeah that would be tough, you have to find an independent mechanic that's been in the business for a while
I have a mechanic like that, only problem he needs a months notice to get anything done.
Jonny swearing makes this 1000% more legitimate 😂 love it
I hate working on stuff that other people have touched who don't know what they are doing, and leave half the bolts out, and use zip ties. I never take my vehicles to be worked on, because all the good one's are gone, and to many young people with not enough experience can't get the stuff right. There are some young guy's who know what they are doing, but just not enough of them.
Stumbled on this channel by accident after seeing Hoovie’s video on the worst X6, and finding out Johnny is Albanian too, feels like the stars aligned 😂. Will definitely stick around, good luck with this beast Johnny 👍🏻
Just looking at this for 5 seconds I could tell it would be a complete pile with everything done poorly. Hoovie really knows how to pick 'em! Even though it's ugly, glad to see you work your magic
Tyler is maintaining his stupid Trope Character again and again..so boring and tired
You gotta admit Tyler's got a great business model. Buy car, spend thousands fixing it, sell for less than purchase price, somehow make a profit off UA-cam. Gets to buy whatever he wants and keep old interesting cars on the road but still make a living.
I really love watching a master at work, Johnny knows every nut and bolt and O-ring that should be on that engine, really impressive.
I had this powertrain (X5M) and it was a giant pile of very hot garbage. Everything you touch above the turbos is like burnt bible paper and turns to dust when you look at it the wrong way.
I honestly have a great respect for your level of Patience. I have no clue why Tyler buys what he buys but maybe it's all about content value. I work on my own vehicles because I want to make sure things are done correctly. I work more in industrial applications, and some say I am patient but being from the Northeast I tend to throw a lot of F Bombs.
.... well F you man....!
Just jok'n... throwing another F bomb your way... LoL... you can use on one of your cars...
Basically it, the content value. Drama like bad repairs and stuff brings in the views :)
He buys complete clunkers because they make good videos if he bought a running and driving Toyota Corolla with no problems no one would watch it
I think he buys cheap classic or valuable cars to try to manipulate the market. If the X6M (example) can be fixed easily, then the market for this model could raise more interest, the car becomes more desirable, and the knowledge about it improves, so everybody wins. Of course I don't think it's gonna be a cheap fix, but you never know.
The concept is the same of the Top Gear challenges: take 3 cheap but collectible cars, thrash them a bit and see how do they resist, can be fixed etc. The only difference is that they make it all more goofy, but the concept remains the same.
I'm from the F-ing northeast too! Total respect for the ninjas patience!
When the coolest guy on UA-cam starts cussing someone’s work you know the work was BAD.
While the car is what it is and your other customers with better cars have to wait, then this is a pure entertainment and hopefully brings in some money from YT. Keep up the good work and thanks for great content.
The twin turbo V8s were way more unreliable then the naturally aspirated N62 V8s. The only biggest problems you got to take care of on the naturally aspirated N62 V8 engines are the 2 pcv valves along with the Valve stem seals and the worst one of all is the coolant transfer pipe.
Yup, absolutely no comparison. An N62 will run like garbage for a very long time, as it doesn’t have the fatal flaws that the early N63 has (timing chain guides and rod bearings). Also you don’t have to worry about turbochargers, injectors, electric water pump, and high pressure fuel pumps. BMW bit off more than they could chew with the N63, and they let the customers be the beta testers.
To be fair, the issues here were neglect and incredibly poor workmanship. I hate BMWs but can't fault BMW, that motor or car on this one. This is all on the previously owners/"mechanics"
@@pascutia The N63 does not have rod bearing problems. Everything else you said, I’d say is correct. Even though majority of the problems, are from bad oil & maintenance. It’s main fatal flaw is bad oil with the timing chain/guides
High pressure fuel pump is very easy to change, fuel injectors once you have the right…index are fine. PCV valves are easy to change, coolant lines by the turbo chargers…also an inevitable issue
The N63 dies from bad oil & heat, if you do the correct oil changes…with pre-maintenance and some heat control on the lines & plastics. It can actually last a long time
Thanks for posting this job. Very interesting to see & hear what some places do to get the car sold at an auction. Enjoying your talent. Greetings from an Old Jarhead in WNC
One thing the Car Ninja can’t abide is shoddy workmanship. 👿
Just another day at the office for the car ninja. Taking in rescue after rescue kudos to you sir.
Damn, he truly knows his way around these cars for sure to even know what screws are the correct ones!
If you see some hardware store screws you know they are not oem ones that suppose to be there
I know what happened, because it happens all the time: they brought the car in for work and ran out of money, the master mechanic told one of their apprentices 'put it back together quickly as best you can, I want that out of my shop' and that's what happened. Some kid just cobbled it together from the parts rack.
Ever noticed how us mechanics have collection of screws on the tool box.. now you know.
6:13 - that's why I love the Ninja. Less talk, all action. Respect. 🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍
I always thought these looked weird, but over the years, they've grown on me. I've never actively looked to purchase one, but if I came across a deal on a white or blue one, I'd probably regret my decision to buy it pretty quickly.
it's a beautiful car, I got two of them back to back and I enjoy them. don't listen to people who buy corollas
Jonny SO much less whiny than the other guy. Love to watch him work!
And I just can’t stand that other guys wife’s voice😅
Dude I always skip the interior part oh my god
Looks like those Cats can’t be stolen very easily.
Closing in on 100k subs!
How does an engine and passenger compartment survive and be safe and comfortable with cats up so high and trapped behind the engine and dashboard. Stellar engineering.
look at the good part, at least you didn't have to deal with any stuck bolts
"Hello Bob's Plumbing Burned Pastries Bakery and BMW repair how may I help you?"
Wonder how many wood/drywall screws Jonny will find on the disassembly? What a clunker! 🤣
I wish my mechanic was like Johny. Wait, I’m my mechanic!
awesome videos Jonny , you’re an amazing person and keep doing what you doing man.
this is one P.O.S that you should definitely refuse to touch, it was clearly thrown together to move it on, mechanically totalled. i admire the amount of care and pride you show when looking at others incompetence. feel sorry for you bro. but for content sake probably worth it, good luck
You can tell this car was getting under his skin.....i know the feeling when i'm working on something and it seems to fight you all the way!!
Johny, I agree with you: Does not matter if you work on a low-budget car, or if you work on a more high end car - People who work like that, should not have any business working on ANYTHING (not just cars) at all. Many vehicles get a bad name, because of such people. Also, many times, cheap skate clients, does not want proper work done: And yes, sometimes they cannot afford it, but also out of experience, they will rather buy another carton of cigarettes, let someone else mow the lawn, clean the house or buy another six-pack... - I have no sympathy for them. They get what they deserve. The problem is: Next time, that "problem" now becomes yours...
I literally LOL at those loose oxygen sensors
Not milking the title at all. Respect!
I think I saw this car on a show called "Mechanics Gone Wrong." Whoever wrenched on this should have their hands broken, and their kicks balled.
I’ve always wished I were a master mechanic, but then I see this things 😂😂 Ninja will have a blast charging for this though
Jonny is more fun to watch when he is mad at the current and previous owners. Top 5 of his videos so far, can't wait until the next part
Very interesting, do you often have these type of jobs where the previous garage did not put all the bits back? Or was it a quick build with a new engine and they knew it was for sale so just did the minimum? Great video, thanks for showing!
Good luck. You could probably do a 539 Restorations length video on it and only get part way.
WOW, that is by far the easiest O2 sensor replacement EVER
LOVE THE EDITING FOR THE NINJAS VIDEO.
5:56 Just waiting for Johnny to start swearing in Albanian!
Because of this channel and Hoovie's channel, I will never own a German vehicle.
Looks like this BMW might be a metaphor for Tyler's life at the moment... sucks seeing him going through a divorce.
You take every challenge that Hoovie sends you in stride! You are a good man Ninja!
That was hilarious. Tyler needs to find a car that is much worse than this and then take it to a backyard mechanic with a bad reputation to have it worked on and then take it to Johnny. That would make for soe very funny content as Johnny tries to make it work again.
😹
Ninja can fix this turd and Tyler can afford it. We get multiple videos out of it. It’s a win-win for the audience.
I think this X6 will look pretty decent when Wheels and paint got some love. Obviously there were a lot of wannabe mechanics trying their best (or worst) involved and ruined this ride
It looks to me like they got it disassembled for work, customer changed their mind or bailed, and they slapped it back together with whatever.
I really wonder why would someone go to the lengths of changing the engine just to be slapped together like this
Auction that BMW according to the auction does technically run and drive and that's all they need to know
@@TwoDollarGararge yes but you spend the $$ on a engine. Not any engine but an M engine you might as well get it running right for bigger profit
@@alfyer5 at that point I'm assuming the situation was the dealer or whoever had it was already losing money and just wanted to dump it as quickly as possible and that was the quickest way out
Hoovie may bring you 'junk' but geez does it give highly entertaining viewing trying to watch you fix it 👍😀
You and Tyler should get the history of this turd!. Without naming names of course it would make a really interesting story on how people get hosed by unscrupulous shops. or just burn it down.
Great video as always, thank you car ninja 🔥
It's truly sad the lack of giving a shit by some mechanics.
Great channel and outlook on life . Thank you car ninja !!!!!
"i'm exhausted" literally lol
I noticed last weeks Hoovie's Garage felt a little more professional, almost cinematic while he visited Ninja's workshop.
I love this channel! Your work is fantastic Jonny
With the way the alloys look, it reminds me of one of the old crash test car pictures you used to see in car magazines
Sounds like they caught this one in time, before all those bad repairs, course more expensive damage.
My opinion is that whoever owned the car previously blew the engine. Then bought an engine from a salvage yard. Thought he paid way to much for said engine so he gave it to his 5y.o to do the engine swap to save money then sent the car to auction when the swap was done - whatever was wrong with the car it wasnt his problem anymore.
I bet if you run a Carfax on this heap, it just says “I WOULDN’T . . . “
We all know that this car is going to end up to be a power house, and it's going to sound amazing, and look amazing, because this car is definitely been purchased for entertainment purposes only.
Obviously if it's true that the car was in such a state the previous owners were absolutely destructive people just got to look at the way the paint work has been treated.
I know that you all keep saying it's ugly design but here down under we all love this shape and styling there are thousands of them on the road.
But I can honestly say that the best mechanic is working on this car, the Ninja knows how to work on European vehicles not like the other guy.
"Ohhhh Tyler Tyler, always buying junk." 😂😂😂
Wizard dodges another bullett..
They left everything loose because they knew it would have to come apart again to be fixed. Nice guys if you ask me.
Great content as always. Love the Hoovie/Ninja videos
now, those cats are tough to steal! lol
Thank you for allowing us to watch your mastery at work :)
5:40 talking to yourself is having a staff meeting.
You will be a miracle worker if you can make this vehicle run properly again.
Hello! I know you guys are pretty busy, but i'd like to see a video with Milwaukee power tools you use in the shop. Like a short thingy with "must have tools".
Jonny and the naughty words. This series is gonna be A-MAZE-ING. :D
I have mixed feelings about an E71 in general. But, geez, I really want Ninja saving this poor creature!
It amazes me that the Ninja can just start pulling crap apart, wires and all, and then put it all back together without looking at a diagram ( at least on video).
Love customers like Tyler. I have quite a few of them you can pretty much order parts before you even call them!
Lots of patience, something I lack. Much respect, mr. ninja.
honestly if i was ninja i would drop the entire engine and have it redone again from 0 cause there is gonna be a lot more shit wrong than what can be easily be seen
Respect and admire your work. Very impressive.
Makes for good content. Like the Car Ninja, Hoovie knows exactly what he is doing. Don't feel bad for him. I always appreciate the reminder to NEVER buy a German car due to their complexity and failures at low mileage.
I love an optimist. I hope you're right and can save that engine. A little surprised you didn't just drop the engine and work on it where you could see everything better.
Kinda love that Hoovie managed to create a car UA-camr hotspot in his town through purchasing terrible beat up vehicles 🤣
engine swapped as sloppily as possible and sent off to the wholesaler, hopefully ninja can sort the mechanicals!
This one is a real hooptie
I wish i will never work on that type of cars i like watching you strugling on vehicule like that it make me remember that cars i work on are not a pain in the ass like audi or mercedes or bmw can be...
I think I heard Hoovie say this was a Houston car, and I can confirm we have some ghetto shops here that do cheap, crap work. Obviously, there are some really good shops here, too, but they aren't cheap. My BIL had a 98 Merc c280 that leaked oil out of the front of the engine like crazy. He took it to a ghetto shop that said it needed the "oil lines" replaced - I believe they were referring to the hoses that connect to the engine oil cooler - but it was obvious from looking at it that was not the case. 20 minutes of googling got me to the TSB about the notorious "Engine inspection port" gasket leak that was well known. It's like a little plate they take off the front of the engine at the factory to check timing, I think. Anyway, the gasket was poorly designed and lots of people just rtv'd the shit out them to stop the leak. Merc offered a replacement for it with an improved design that costs like $25, so I took of the old one (with those weird Merc torque screws), put the new one one, and was done in about 15 minutes. Couple cans of brake cleaner later, no more oil leak.
I'm "exhausted!" Great pun.🤣
I think it looks amazing. Showed it to my wife and she recoiled in pain.
Johnny channeling is inner Ren... eeediot!
I came across a car similar to this a real piece of work just slapped together to get it running enoungh to sell, after all the small issues were fixed car ran great for a long time without issues hopefully this can be saved without additional parts
''Tyler , Tyler , why you always bring me junk '' ?
I felt your pain on this, do I really have to go down this road, when the end of the road is still going to be ugly. Take Hoovie's money and run free with it, just don't hurt yourself on another persons whim... I look forward to what you can make of this!
Come on guys, lets bring this channel to 100k subs!❤
lol when he swears 😂😂😂😂
Tyler should have given Jonny the E39 M5 for a ton of shop credit lol
