- I purchased a 2018 BMW M550i online (dealer was in Missouri). It took just a week to get it delivered to my driveway from the purchase date (shipping was only a little over a day). This video shows the delivery (startup and driving into the driveway) and some other basic features.
Please check back for more M550i videos (POV driving / feature run-through / how I like it? / etc.) #BMW #BMWM550i #M550i
8 cyl - 4.4 liter Twin Turbo / 456 hp / 480 ft lb torque / 0 - 60 in 3.8 sec. / xDrive ~ AWD
This was my first BMW purchase back in Dec 2022. I still have the M550i and it is doing great. I have had some issues with it and needed to get it fixed, but the warranty I purchased with it has taken care of most of the cost (and we are talking THOUSANDS it has saved me).
Don’t worry man I purchased a 84K 650i 2015 and so far so good!!! It has 103K miles now and I did a coolant flush,oil change, and front rotors and brakes (i change my oil every 5K miles) only issues is a blown speaker I will be getting fixed soon and I need to add some stuff for my A/C to get cool again other than that my car runs fine for me and no issues
That's great! Happy to hear that. So far I haven't had any issues and still running great. I did have to get the flex disc on the drive shaft replaced. They recommended replacing the coolant overflow tank as they start to leak around 100k most of the time. Other than that it's great. Amazing car!
I got the same one 2018 and BMW send me this warranty letter with up to 150,000 miles, check with the old owner if he got it too
Be ready for problems
I've had my share of problems for sure in the past year with this car. Luckily my extended warranty actually covered most of it. Still not confident that I am out of the woods yet.
You have massive balls purchasing a 90k mileage m550i online but it looks clean! How much did you pay?
I had been looking for a 550i for about a year (none local, looked at Carvana, Vroom, others). Most places wanted $25k for a 2016 550i with 110k-125k miles. This 2018 M550i was online for $27,995. Other comparable ones were going for $32k+. I ended up purchasing that 3 year extended warranty so I felt a bit better about the purchase. It is in amazing shape and very clean. Just some stone chips on the front and some faint clear coat scratches. Lucky so far!
hey did you get a ppi done before you bought it, also where did you get the extended warranty from?
No, I didn't get an inspection before purchase. The Carfax was good and I received videos of it running and a walk around from the dealer. I took a chance but it paid off. The warranty eased my mind a bit as the car dealer was a thousand miles away. My credit union offered the warranty through a company called Mercury Mechanical Protection.
@@NoTime-ToSleep thanks for the insight man glad it worked out in the end. Enjoi the whip 🔥🔥
I want one of these, like a 2016, but they're notoriously unreliable
I heard some horror stories on the N63 engine, but a lot of positives as well. I decided to take my chances with this one. Awesome price - a bit higher on miles: 90,000... hopefully it has already made it past some of the random issues. I did have the FlexDisc replaced already as it was severely cracked. I had BMW do an in-depth inspection. I am hoping it will be reliable for me.... it is an amazing car !!
@@NoTime-ToSleep OH man, 90k miles is crazy and a big risk. I'm rooting for you because I want the same car. How has it been for the month you've had it?
True on the risk. I read some comments stating they've never seen one above 150k miles. I did purchase a 3 year warranty that covers drivetrain and engine. So far the car has been amazing. It's a rocket... almost knocks the wind out of you with a launch control takeoff. I need to get some more videos uploaded... it's great.
@NoTimeToSleep Well you have the N63TU#2. The latest is #3, so you might get some good reliability. Who did you buy the warranty through, and how much? Will definitely consider a warranty if I buy one.
My credit union, where i financed, offered a plan to tack onto the total... it was 4,800 (with fees/tax) for the 3 year. I figured it was roughly a $135 a month insurance plan (paying it over 6 years though). Company is Mercury Mechanical Protection. Sounds like a good plan so far.... we will see.
