yeah scotty!
hey scotty i don’t know if you’re aware of this but when i try to register on your website, it does not work. i don’t get anything in my email to set up my password for an account so i can ask a question?
Hey Scotty, can I come buy the car for $1700 ?
Would be neat if it was a hard top.
Watched 10 min of that video to realise it has nothing to do with how the house looks. Lol
never thought i’d hear scotty saying something good about a BMW 😂
The Tennessee sun has got to him already! 😎🌞
Was about to type the same thing dude..😂😂
It's the altitude.
I mean, hes only giving credit when the credit is due. If a manufacturer makes a good car during a certain period of time, he says so. Take Nissan for example. Their older vehicles were awesome and id buy one in a heartbeat, but you couldnt give me a brand new one today.
@@kobrien4121 wait until allergy season, he will hate everything. 🤧
As a BMW fan, I totally agree with Scotty on this one. These old naturally aspirated straight-6 BMWs were far better in almost every sense than the vast majority of new ones, particularly in terms of reliability. And even when something breaks down, the cost of repair is still relatively cheap due to simpler engineering.
100% correct! 😉👍🏻
I have a diecast model of this exact car, I bought by accident. I'm keeping it now.
A manual on that thing would be lovely.
Every old e36 and e46 here is a manual
I haven't seen automatic one here xD ofc europe. And i do mean this particular model
It is ;)
@@severinkolakov4361 what? No it's not
A manual won't be 1000.
E36 one of the best looking cars ever made
yessir
Nah e30 way better
@@jacksonramsay1572 I prefer e36 look but got plenty a few friends with e30s their cool but they put e36 engines em them ;) haha
No, it is not.
E46 M3 for me
M50, M52 and M54 are the best BMW engine, and combined with the E36's compact body makes it a pleasure to drive.
3:22 wow, Tennessee really cleared the whole road for Scotty 😂😂
I've had a 1995 325i convertible. I regret selling it. Great car! Fun to drive.
I had an E46, besides many electrical issues it was a great “zippy little machine” as Scotty would say
Its an E36
oh really
I had an E46 3 series too. Only electrical problem was a window regulator. No major problems at all, and very easy to work on.
I just tunned my 323ci E46 20 year old looks great and feels so good M52tu25 solid Engine.i just put in. intake manifold, both camshaft, from M54B30 zhp engine, headers, 3.73 gear ratio differential (automatic transmission) ==》 otherwise 3.46 gear ratio for Manual. Then Remap ECU in order to Get the maximun advantage of all Mods.
@@nelsonmelgar999 u used ista to remap ecu?
The old straight 6’s were awesome engines but the cooling systems were definitely the weak point
The cooling system is still crap as hell!
e36 bmw"s were Bullet proof I've owned 3 of them, e46 and up are money pits oh the good ole days
You beat me by 4 seconds with your comment.
E46 are still ok. But the others were bad altho the f80 looked good but not as good as the e30. Why dont they just make a e30 again. Sales would be x1000
I had a e36 328i convertible, it was a solid car. The only thing that went out on the car was the water pump. I had it for 5 years, did the normal maintenance. I ended up selling it. I bought a 6 speed manual e46 330xi a couple years ago, never had an issue, done the normal maintenance, it's not a hard car to work on.
@@patrykrog8121 cause it wouldn't make sense
German made e46 are nice get a 330i
Glad to see my 93 325is hard top coupe with 142500 miles getting some love from the Scotty (close enough) . Been a great car for me. Still drives like dream and you are right on about the drive train in these cars. Bullet proof (almost)
Ive had 9 of these now, from a 318i, 323is, 325is, 328i, and a 95 dakar yellow m3 coupe which I daily drive right now and love. These inline 6's are BULLETPROOF, affordable, easy to maintain and modify, and parts can be found everywhere in junkyards and damn near everything is interchangeable. Transmissions are solid as hell too, everyone says the obd1 325 getrag transmissions suck but ive never had issues with any, and the 96+ZF transmissions are strong asf and in a bunch of other BMW's. Diff is bulletproof minus the front bolt that always breaks (once you start to really race and beat these cars) but honestly its the best bang for your buck fun all around platform. But prices are starting to go up because everyone is just realizing now how good they are lol.
E36 is the next E30
Dakar yellow ❤❤❤❤❤❤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
And what about the 318i? It is good too?
I’m an entry level purchaser. I have a budget of 10k. Which is the best year and series to buy?
We need someone honest like Scotty for President 🇺🇸
Maybe he could make the government run like a clock.
The USA is an endless money pit.
Yes, Scotty represents american spirit at it best, so different from every thing that represents USA today.
Honest people don’t run for office. Unfortunately
@@brunovrancic8330
United States is still the greatest country on planet Earth. And it is not like the media represents it. But we are certainly under attack by anti-American one world order types.
Scotty, the amount of content you put out is amazing. Thank you
Most honest straight forward UA-cam mechanic i have followed so far on here. You are amazing Scotty 👏 great sense of humor when it comes to.the truth. Lol
God bless.
These videos from Tennessee are amazing! I love the calm quiet environment while he shows off amazing cars and fixes them too!
Had two of these, love em. Bought both for less than 750cad, both 5 SPD convertibles.
In the UK, I did 250,00 miles in my 1987 straight six 7 series, had it 7 years and sold it running really well. Zero problems apart from a new exhaust.
I’ve had 2 E36’s now and I love them, I buy them for under $1,500. I run them to the ground then scrap them but god do I love driving them, so much fun, smooth engine, and solid handling!
You better hold on to them now they are raising in value
@@Crypto82738 I got one for a first car for 2k and I’m only 16 lmao, it was a steal tbh
@@angorafx9067 That’s a helluva deal bro, great car for you to learn how to work on also
This ones an oddity. I had a 94 in 2000/2001. They were known rust buckets here in the UK. The only good thing I could say about it, when it stalled out at traffics lights, which it did regularly, I could put my feet through the holes in the rusted away floor and push it along like Fred Flintstone without getting out.
Well in the UK rains a lot.
You can still see e36s driving around to this day in the UK mate. Yeah they suffer from rust but everything else is built really well.
Gareth, do you every have a dry day their in the Kingdom....If I lived there believe my skin would become a prune!!!
got a 94 325 conv just like that I picked up for $1000 in california last year - Not a spot of rust on it - sun had killed the drivers seat though!
My drivers seat 💺 broke and so did my Dad’s in his
I've driven the BMW's and Benz's from that era. I noticed a lot of them are kinda dogs down low in the rpm's but when your on the highways and you stomp on it they get right up and go. It makes sense cause they were built with the Autobahn in mind. They would be great cars for cross country travel no doubt. Thanks so much as always for sharing scotty
The Old BMWs are such a beauty. I hope Tennessee is treating you well Scotty‼️
I miss my 94 BMW 318i. Great MPG, solid, and smooth. Hydro locked and engine ceased. Think I’ll look around for another one.
I've always thought that BMW's were no where near as bad as Scotty sometimes says. I have a 2006 325xi (e90) 6 speed manual with 165k miles, runs great , fun to drive. Have had few problems with it. Everything he said about those i6 BMW motors is true.
Value so smart..plus your a great person. Glad your so down to earth. Like your new house.
Always great information such as how to diagnose a transmission that has gone out. Enjoyed your review of the BMW. The 94’s and the model preceding this current model that are slightly more square shaped are my favorite convertibles.
"But this is a 94" 😂
We all know you love beamers but can’t recommend em to ppl. Used to have that car, been waiting years for you to review the e36 chassis
Hey man. i wanted to buy an E39 mainly want a manual and preferably a 540i. What is your opinion?
@@zhila5958 if you get a e39 I would stay away from the 540i from what I hear they have the most issues but that's just what I hear I have no proof lol but all other e39's are def worth it
@@zhila5958 BMWs V8 engines have only one problem...engine temp...they originally run very hot and nawadays we are making them to run a little bit colder...this is the first tuning you should do to these engines...and you should change all rubber hoses and cables close to the engine because they are all fried from the high temp. over the years...and u must check if its not overheaten so much because its expensive if it is...other than that its a freakin graet engine...all of'em...BMW V8s are mainly used for drift cars in my country and they run on high revvs for years no problem...just make it run colder and its all good
@@calirider9168 i’m focusing on getting an older model without the vanos but maybe i should stay away from V8s in general i guess. appreciate the answer
@@rezzy851 yeah i was wondering the same cuz there has been drift events which had E36 cars with M62B44 swap and i heard good things about it. maybe i just shouldn’t be a careless person since older BMW cars are known to be amazing when it comes to reliability. appreciate the answer
Had a 1974 BMW 525, when I was in West Germany in the US Army, back in the early '80's. That was a great car. Cornered on rails. I imagine, that the straight 6 engine in that '94 325 is a direct descendant of the one in my car. It was a smooth runner.
My favorite bimmer! Drove a friends one, about 6 years ago, same model and color, what a car! Excellent trasmission and engine, it was a pleasure to drive it around in a gorgeous Cape Cod summer day 😀👍🏼
Scotty can you do a drive in your 94 celica thanks. We’d love to see you drive it.
He sold it
@@bronzejrpg3125 when???
I bought it for $400.
Sold it when he got that gt-four
Next Video....Never Buy A 1000 dollar convertible BMW in red.
Nope its solid
*if it has a 35i badge on the back
Old BMW straight-6 cars were still relatively simple to work on. I had a '94 E34 model 540i as my first car, loved it, but it was a V8 and couldn't fix simple power steering stuff without lifting the motor. I loved the power of the V8 but envied the simplicity of the I-6.
See I totally agree with you on this Scotty, it is the exact same thing with the older Mercedes Benz. Those things were built indestructible and there are many that are out there with 300,000 to 500,000 miles on them.
Great video and thanks for what you do Scotty!
I regret owning an 03 ram

Scotty knows his stuff. Even if youre rich never buy new its a rip off
Always looking forward to your video uploads🙂
Scotty, I have a 95 318i convertible 5 speed manual and I concur with everything you said. I do have an idle situation, so she runs a little rough when parked, but on the road, it's smooth. I put a new top on it and no more leaks.
I have a 2010 BMW 320i sedan. It's one of the most reliable modern BMWs. I am not having any major problem with it yet until now. I hope that it stays that reliable for more years!
I heard the N43 (engine used on that) had some problems with the oil consumption and that the vacuum pumps break often
@@Raulz0r2 You can hear a lot of things about them. The previous owner took care a lot of it. And he never neglected regular maintenance. That's why I got such a good car and no I didn't have any of these engine problems. Everyone I showed the car to thinks I bought it from the dealer since it still looks like brand new
@@Edwin-km4xk very nice, it's great to hear there still are good cars to be found in the used market, I am also looking into getting an E90 LCI
Edwin ?? That gen 3 series is rated one of the most unreliable cars on the road ...I work on them for a living and I’m a bimmer guy
@@2uned08 For sure it's gonna be unreliable if people don't do the maintenance stuff on time which is not a cheap thing. And for sure the N54 335i with 2 turbos is less reliable than a simple naturally aspirated 4 cylinder one. So it all depends on the owner and on the car condition. Mine was very taken care of and is really a rare car to find in a such condition. And that was the reason I bought it. And that's why it's reliable with me
I own a 318Ti, 1998. Love it, very reliable. Amazing fuel economy. Hatchback is handy too!
Just bought one myself, same year, how’s it holding up?
Good afternoon Scotty! Keep up the great videos!
Just got a 318is coupe 1993, manual gearbox! Love it
Damnit not the E36 tax is going to be stronger.
As I said in another video of yours, E36 BMWs are the best! I got 450k miles before the interior started falling apart.
This is before they started adding all the extra crap that makes the car less reliable and they weigh less (by 1k pounds). As long as you do the maintenance these things last forever!
Scotty you are a legend ,you tell things for what they really are, amazing!
Good job Scotty explaining that BMWs for the old ones like you said are good cars . As always good infoscary thank you always appreciate you Cynthia Medina
Scotty didn't forget to remind us again about his wife's Lexus he got for his wife for 3 grands with 60,000 miles.
@kkthxk yeah, you know, his father died.
Many new people watch so its just to let them know
He literally stole that Lexus from his customer! If I were him, I wouldn't have revealed what he paid; he has been nicknamed "Swindler Scotty" ever since!
@@johnpflug1567 he only got a good deal on it cuz he was scotty and hooked him up, If it was anyone else he’d prob ask 5k
@@mohamadhamad770 i want a car like that
My grandma had a 93 325i sedan, loved that car!!!!!!
Mines a 94 325i sedan 5speed manual. Drives like a dream
Yep, I bought a 1999 BMW E36 328IC for $2k and the first thing I did was upgrade all the cooling system components since they are known for issues. I swapped all plastic parts to aftermarket stainless steel and aluminum parts. I have had zero trouble. I even swapped out my fading plastic headlights with glass headlights with the angel eys halo rings for safety. Older BMWs are very dependable as long as you maintain them and know what parts should be proactively upgraded.
Finally! Scotty, my second car was an e36 318i and I absolutely fell in love until it was totaled by my neighbor, but now I'm 24 years old and have a 328i 150k miles just swapped transmissions, engine has no leaks, supplies plenty of comfortable power and a pleasant sound and superb cornering, odds are I will always own one of these 90s 3 series!
some of us are just like Scotty, why ? Im his age and learned how to repair all my own cars since 16 yrs old. So up till today I can rebuild my own motor, and Im a painting contractor. This comes over not wanting to tow a car to a repair shop that see’s you as a sap needing them for any price they quote you caus your stuck with them. Taking risks in life diving into your own repairs gives a sense of pride and immense confidence in your abilities.
Take the risk of doing major repairs at home ( love youtube videos and those who share their expertise). My first rebuild of my 1985 Honda CRX
motor was without help. It was the high fuel model and worth keeping. We are like Scotty because connecting with your car on this level allows you to self diagnose problems on the spot, even while traveling . Why wouldnt you want to know about your cars mechanical workings.
Repair shops hate people like me, they detect Im asking questions they would rather not answer so they can inflate the quote.
I know too much now, so I end up doing repairs to my own vehicle that most shops dont do anyway. Most shops do simple repairs, they arent into rebuilding motors. Start with a vehicle that is a second car you buy just to experiment on while you have a backup car.
Learn something. Some of this stuff isnt that difficult, it just takes guts to try. My last repair was my 2000 Ford E250 intake manifold and gasket.
It looked daunting to see all the stuff that needed to be removed before you get the manifold off. I did watch a video, but it was hard to see the steps he took to remove his manifold. Reason I did this work, the van isnt worth that much to pay 1,000 for a shop to do it, just as you do more and more of these repairs, your vehicle becomes reliable more and more that you do it yourself. Any other van might have too many problems on the horizon you cant forsee. After 10 yrs of ownership and my own buildup of repairs, Im confident so much more in this vans longevity.
So when you think Scotty is cheap, that has nothing to do with it. New cars are expensive to buy, Id rather see less mechanically inclined people to lease less expensive cars and upgrade them every 3 years. You can lease for 185.00 per month a car like a VW Jetta, never pay for repairs and drive a new car so often.
hugot12 Sounds inspiring. Sadly the four times I tried to do something on a car I reached half way because I didn't have the right tools nor was very happy about breaking stuff.
Since kid I pursue disassembling everything I can trying to repair whatever it is (but lacking enough knowledge).
I should say only about 30% ends up in the same shape it was before. The rest either breaks or is left incomplete and occupying space for years to come...
@@apexseal2811 Trust me I had my share of broken things, but in the process through more years and buying tools, it paid off in good experience.
Alot of auto parts loan the expensive necessary tools like ball joint compressors, strut coil compressors. There is no reason to believe everyone needs to bust knuckles on cars. I admire guys making easier money with more brains than me, let other guys do their repairs.
Sounds like you gave it the yankee try at it. My dad always said, whatever work you do, just be the best at it.
thanks for sharing your experience
hugot12 I'm just a beginner at it, only 21 yo. Hopefully I can do something about it lol.
I got a very very long way to go. Process of learning requires effort, time and of course (IMO) giving it a try with hands on to apply theory.
Cheers.
I had a bmw e30 m3 bought it for $1200 and sold it for $23,500 years later I enjoyed that car so much I know I know I’m so stupid for selling it
I daily a 1996 pre facelift e36 328i - in my ownership I’ve put 54,000km on it, that’s in the last 2.5 years! There have been a few things I’ve down in my ownership like the clutch kit to a single mass one, brakes and oil changes / flushes. The cooling system had been replaced entirely by the last owner. This is the 5th car I have ever owned and while 200,000km motors sit on the market for $700 I’ve found my daily. This car has shown me day in day out what proper engineering leaves you with. A reliable investment! 😄 362,000km in the dash as of last night. Cheers Scotty - glad you made another e36 post!
I had a 97 328is Calypso Red color-shifting paint and 5 manual was my fave car ever to this day.
No matter where Scotty goes, his customers cars have leaves filling the under hood area. And he stopped on the main road for his acceleration test, collisions galore behind him for sure
Hes in the country

Manual with the hardtop, still looks fresh today.
Great video, I drive the 1997 328ic, I fix it my self and parts are plentiful as are youtube videos on how to fix it. I gave up 19 years on 2 Toyotas for the BMW!
Scotty what do you think about the older 1991 Mercedes Benz 190e! With the 2.3 engine?
Beautiful car. Just like my '95 Hellrot 325is.
Spot on scotty! The 80 and 90s were the best decades for BMW ! They started playing the planned obsolescence game starting with the E60 til present....
Coupe E36 owner here. Absolutely PURRS, blast to drive, and extremely reliable daily. Can't have chosen a better first car 😎
i got my first car a couple months ago a 2001 325i standard transmission with sports package for $500, granted it had 200,000 miles on it but most everything was in near mint condition, still runs beautifully
About that hissing sound when you use the brakes, is your mother-in-law with you when this happens?
hahahahaha
Always with the great vids Scotty much luv 🤙🏼
i miss that car, i worked as a mechanic back in 2015 and my boss gave me the 93 318is 5speed as a gift for working hard. It broke down so i donated it to cars for kids, i miss that car deeply, i have dreams about it ever since. Mine was a manual!
Hell officially froze over!
*slaps the only good BMW*
Scotty: this baby can fit a lot of MILES on it!
Wow can you believe a good review on BMW Scotty you are versatile!
I've had a 2005 BMW 330Ci Convertible for nine years....everyday I drive it feels like a brand new day....Welcome to Tennessee, I'm your Kentucky neighbor!!!
Those 6 strait are one of the best motors
BimmerN53
What about M57?
I had a 2003 Lexus IS300 manual with the Supra inline six. Some call it a Toyota Altezza, I get it. Most fun for 215 horses for sure. I miss that car more that my two ex wives.
Woah! That’s surprising!
I had an 87 325e when I was 17 back in high school. Awesome cars
Had a 93 bmw 535i beautiful car. One of my favs the inline 6 is a great motor
Is this rare version with turn signals installed?
Custom.

The type of guy 2 stepping at the car meets at the taco bell parking lot
@@T.Lspitz lmao...the image in my head.
My neighbor had one of those, same year and would beat the hell out of it every time he drove it. Drove it like that for years and the thing was still running. They are indeed tanks.
Had a 93 325i for years. Besides the cooling problems was great. Changed the head in a driveway at -5c. We bonded
I want to buy for my first car a BMW e36 convertible like this they are pretty good
They are solid cars and the ride is incredible ive owned 2. The only thing I would highly suggest is save up the money and buy the mishimoto cooling system upgrade for these cars. The number one cause of blown headgaskets on these beautiful cars is the plastic water pump impeller going out or a slow leak on the plastic side baffles of the radiator or bottom of the reservoir blows out. These cars have aluminum heads so if they overheat any little bit they warp some people get rid of them because of this so when you go buy one have the owner run it for 30-45 minutes enough time for the cooling system to show any worrying signs.
@@emiliogalindo7521 thanks so much for the advice🙏
Scotty I love you ❤️😘
A few miles down the road from me now in Louisville. Great area your in now, a move up!
Scotty, I have a 90 325ci that my wife used to drive and when she wanted an SUV stopped driving it. They were well made back then and pretty fast for the day. Mine is the E30 body I think the one you have is the E36. The only thing I didn't like with those is the plastic headlight assembly. The reason it has the plastic rear window is because they made the top fold up into the hatch compartment so when it's down it's not exposed or visible. I just polish mine with some plastic polish for convertible windows and coat it with a special plastic window protectant and it does well. The biggest problem with the BMWs is the dash cracking but it's better than GM or Chryslers I've seen cracking when they are just a couple years old.
Lmao he was just stopped on the road 😂
In the center lane too!
Ive got my 2nd 'straight-6' BMW.... 320i.... 16 year old wagon. Fast as F%&K.
I've ridden in one of these before, it had 89k miles on, and it rides so smooth. Everything, just smooth.
I own this exact car as a coupe and in a beautiful color. glad it's Scotty approved.
I remember when car leasing first started the selling point was and still is, you can drive a new luxury car every 3 years. Reality of leasing is it sucks money out of your pocket so you can look like good driving a car you can't afford. It's better to buy a 2 or 3 year old luxury car.
I agree mostly, but if you can't afford it new. U may not be able to afford it used..i.e. out of warranty repairs and maintenance.
Seriously, I just don't get why people lease.. Why would anyone pay $500+ a month for 3 years instead of buying an older version on the same car for less. At the end of the 3 year lease you won't have a car, but if you purchase used, you will have that car as yours after 3 years.

You can purchase a warranty for $2k that will last 3 years.
I rather spend the $15k on a used car versus paying $500k a month for 3 years on a lease. At the end of the lease you have no car.
@@mamadouaziza2536 agreed. Plus with a lease you are bound to certain rules like limited miles. Something that can cost even more
Does it have a Toyota engine?🤔
No its an M50B25
Adam lz built one like that one with a Toyota 1jz engine, The only difference is that his is a coupe
No it’s a bmw engine ...the new Toyota Supra has a BMW engine to
BMW with a 2jz is a good marriage

I had a 1991 E34 for 3.5 years..real solid cars..i didn't skip a day of those 3 years without reving it to 6.5 rpm and yet no issues but spark plug replacement
I had one exactly like that except it had a tsn interior. Sold it to a friend. It's still running like a top!
Good afternoon Scotty!
hello!
5:59 who is that dude in the background?😂
The real Scotty after all these yrs or the guy who sold him the bmw cause he couldn't fit in it
Looks like you have made yourself right at home in your new digs. Glad things are going well.
Beautiful e36! I had a 94 e34 5 series for my first car and I loved it I learned alot from it 👍🏽 Your right about that I6 its really a great engine u can beat that thing all day as long as u feed it a little oil every now and then 😅👍🏽
Scotty is getting fun cars now!
Scotty would you recommend replacing the automatic transmission fluid in this BMW or would that be a huge mistake? Comments welcome! Thanks
Just replace the fluid and filter, don't do a flush.
Ok Scotty … all your advice and wisdom is so much appreciated!
Maybe you could advise me on 2005 Buick Century..I kept as it was my Dad’s he passes in 2010.. anyway the car had codes with bad sensor ..dealer never fixed now I have just gotten her back on the road 1809.00 for new brakes …please keep her running!!
I had a 1995 740i that had 300K miles and the engine was still quieter and shifted smoother than my 3 year old Camry. It was just an endless parade of electrical problems. Most of them were actually easy to fix and the parts were cheap and available from Rock Auto. Had to get rid of it because I was moving cross country to CA for work.
But panzer tanks were unreliable 😂
