Hats off to you in making this video and your admission over not following your own advice you give out. Humble and a strong thing to do and builds trust with your audience. Hope you get the car sorted.
I appreciate that!
You're not alone bro, I'm a mechanic and yet this has happened to me twice and I've now learnt that if it looks too good all round, it's definitely the engine or transmission.
You're right bro, it has happen to me too once
This guy needs to buy another engine , one in the boot will be destroyed and every part junk , sad deal he is well ripped off ...
brought an m140I from copart immaculate condition, 140 quid fix for a steering pump works perfect got it for 5k because nobody wanted it because it was such good condition lol
easy to spot it bro... front stance is higher than the back. that means some weight is missing from the front. And it's not always about changing some body panels and paint :) all and all, those pistons and rods don't look bad, you might want to dismantle everything and check the block, check the head, and maybe you can getaway with buying just some bits and gaskets. Instead of buying and new engine for 3k, you identify if something is bad, and buy that part for a lot less, put it all together and you know you have a good engine.
I vote for what you said
Great idea 👍👍👍
Not a bad idea at all 👏
Could also be tools in the trunk or a broken suspension but yea here we can check under before the bid starts make sure all is there. And obviously nobody puts tools in a bmw like that lol
It's been stripped because the engine has eaten the vanes from the turbos as is usual with this engine.
As an ex mechanic and now beef farmer,,man I flipped 1000s of cars in my time,,,it bought me a 100 acre farm..
Keep at it..Good luck. 💯👍💯
I totally feel you! Lost 5 five cars in a bidding war across 3 days. Bought a Qashqai out of frustration of losing and went real hard on the bid button! Happy days won the car! Low and behold. The problems! Gone is the engine! And gone are my margins.
Makes me sick in the stomach when I think about it 😂😂
It is what it is. These mistakes will only make me more emotionally mature. Bite the loss and move on to the next one.
My current predicament went hard on a Benz 2017 engine locked
Common mate. It's not the end of the world. You're a fighter not a quitter. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to make a small profit on this car. Never give up mate and best of luck in getting a good deal and a second hand engine.
Honestly not that bad, it’s the B48 engine, also used in the Mini Cooper S (181HP). Quite readily available for around £2K. So easy to fit, and gives you the opportunity to get shut of the OEM downpipe and upgrade the turbo. Easily fixable for roughly £2.5K🙂
Reliable lump cf to n47
Wow George. I just hope you get your money back out of it. Good job your a Mechanic lol. Anyway the best of luck with it. We all love your videos here in Ireland. Keep it up bro
Now tell the part about the particulate filter…share how cheap that is!
@@beadlebamford9999 GPF and OPF still in situ mate, they haven’t touched the exhaust! You’d remove these anyway for a better sounding, non restrictive exhaust. So pretty cheap yeah…….
@@InfantBuilders he literally said the dpf is in the trunk but whatever
Should of probably taken the £700 relist loss in all honesty. If you put it through auction again you'll lose more. Your labour time is probably worth more than you'd spend and at best you're just above breaking even after you install a new engine and get it ready with the small issues it has
Buy the engine and fix it gone bad already maybe get back close to what you spend
He said it would cost him about £11-12k with a replacement engine so surely he won’t make a loss except for his own labour time.
But he bent himself over & said “come on big boy” on this one.
@@billywup7434only a mug would pay 14k for this
@Billywup trade on a hpi clear 60k 420d 2017 m sport with 60k miles is £15 grand at Mannheim
If you’d pay your price for a vcar crack on 😂
Never knew the new Beamers are rear engined
Ouch!
Dee!
Feel for ya!
All I'd suggest that you do, if you can afford to that is, is hold on to it and wait for a breaker car with the same engine and use that.
Great content as usual and your energy and enthusiasm will get you back on top soon no doubt.
Looking forward to seeing more of your vids.
Keep it moving pal and good luck.
Co-part, the gift that keeps on giving!
Thank you for being honest and transparent. Put a replacement engine in it. At least you will get your money back! Still great content!
I think you should look for a cat b which runs, then you will have everything you need to put this back on the road. Job done 👌🏾👊🏾
That's very good plan
I agree with this guy,,,wait for a break bud
Bud 4u on copart an
This is the reason why I don't buy cars from Copart even if it is a running car because most cars are abused and People are just ripping People off with junk.
Let me inspire you Dee brother. In my mind, I reckon you should rebuild the engine you have!!!! You got the skills, the tools, the electronic tools, the space, and the know how!!! Engine looked coked up (looking at the state of the pistons. ). It is already in bits, do some tasteful "SALVAGE NATION" upgrades and Voila!!!! Victory snatched from the jaws of defeat!!!! & .... & Awesome viewing for the hordes of Salvage Nation junkies like myself!!! Come on Dee, you got this bro!!!!
Thanks
Been here myself bro with a Jaguar F Pace RS model, sold as run and drive. Car delivered through Copart it drove off the ramp 5 mins later while I was heading to the petrol pump to fill up, engine cut off. Ended up needing a full engine rebuild. Complained to Co part their run and drive definition is that upon delivery to the centre the car moved 10meters under its own drive. They know the true extent of the damage but hide it, we all know this. But either way had to fight through and did the rebuild took a big L. But came out leavening more about engine rebuild, valuable lesson to stay disciplined and lastly a family out there benefiting from a car rebuilt right and safe. Head up my brother, these are a the true times you got to keep it moving.
Good on you for showing the bad times . The race is long and in the end it's only with yourself. Keep moving forward
Hey Dee, I know it isn’t the best feeling when something like this happens as I’ve been stung before. On the positive you could fit another engine, get some content and still have a really nice car out of it.
Or what I think you should do is use it as a parts car, could possibly build a number of cars of that one.
You’ll come out of this on the right no doubt!
KeepItMoving brother 💪
Sounds like a time for a bigger engine :D
Dee I’ve been watching your channel for some time now just like others who have also subscribed, but you will have this sorted to a fine art, I have 100% faith in you, keep up your amazing hard work,kind regards sir, Mark from Billericay 😃😃👍👍
Yes Marcus well said bro 🔥🔥🔥👊🏽
I bid blindly on a cat s 2017 transit 350 55k miles 7.5k + vat and fees which came to 9.5k, there was gearbox grinding, unfinished previous bodywork, rear doors missing and a sliding door missing! I only thought the missing doors was the issue, im still stressed about it and idk if theres more issues
Edit: there is a mileage discreptancy and i have a bad feeling that its a double category!
Edit 2: it was sold by a private seller on copart
Dee god gave you this car for a reason the whole engine is in the boot get the back out the graveyard use ur god given talent put it back bak together
Definitely think you should have taken the £700 loss and take it as a lesson learned
Man I honestly wouldn’t have had the energy to make this video after finding that car in that condition I would of been crying my ace off you are a strong man
I think you should contact Namz Boost he is a fellow youtuber who has his own garage where they rebuild non runners. You should get in touch with him and find out the cost to rebuild the engine and then compare it to buying a second hand one. Also he might even buy the car off u in the condition it is right now. Well worth getting in contact with him.
Good luck and keep us updated 👍
Count your lucky stars you still have some parts in the boot!!.. Some of those bits would cost you a frightening amount of money!
We already knew what was in the boot😂
On the copart listing for this vehicle, it would have stated that the car did not run and drive. Also they should have stated that the damage was mechanical in the listing as well. Here in canada this info is not additonal and is stated right on the listing.
And you got hella knowledge on cars bro I’m sure you can get a new engine put in.
That’s why I stay clear of private entries, they’re always more hassle than they’re worth bro! I only ever bid on lots that end in X
Brother this will be your biggest win, Salvage Nation Keep It Moving fam 💪.
I'm from the states; you mentioned having the skill for engine work.
Get an engine and you will have a beautiful car.
Know it takes time and that's worth something, get it running and have a raffle for it for a good cause. Win, win. You don't have to see it again but you turned sour grapes into wine.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
This is a true test Dee ... you got it brother, replace the engine take the small margin onto the next👊👊
The chop shop swapped out the engine and it went to auction. New York Style.
Respect for spreading good information to other people! Best of luck with this one. 🙏🏽
Absolutely. Not everyone would do this.... Cars can earn you or burn you.
Its nice of you to remind us of the pitfalls in this game.
Brudda just keep stepping innih such situations are a blessing in disguise simple as..
Hi Dee sorry to hear your problems with the car all the best to you and your family
Lol a loss is a lesson my friend. Been there before just don’t repeat it (I know it’s addictive)
It just shows how underhand Copart are - "Doesn't turn over" - that implies there is an engine. They know it is stripped. If you want to sell through Copart you need to disclose any known faults, by the same token you would expect the same. I do feel for you and agree you MUST do prior research but they are sharks, pure and simple.
If everything is there. Rebuilt rebuilt Dee...😂😂
The copart rat trap!!!!! Second hand lump got to be best way to go.
I stumbled onto your channel and I'm not a mechanic, your a mechanic and most of the parts are in the boot. Take a deep breath and give yourself a couple of days and fix the engine, you have the knowledge and the equipment..........go for it, after all it's a nice car.
Been there, know the feeling. Make it into a project car, save time and get your ROI faster by replacing the engine with another, keep it same size engine. Upgrade the turbo (or not) , put on a body kit, new wheels, new exhaust and finish off with some stickers. There no accident so you'll get a decent price from a youngster who want an eye catching Beemer. Advertise the old engine parts for 1k to recoup some costs. You'll make profit overall and have fun doing the project. Keep videoing it, perhaps a viewer will buy it from u.
Big fan, learning from your your/own mistakes. was in same situation. sent back to Copart and took losses rather than investing more money and sale for less.
Honestly, I think you should try your best to fix it because in life, sometimes you need a challenge and has great content
Did Copart put run and drive in paparwork 🤣😂🤣
Park it outside the works gates,I'd love to see the thieves try and steal it with no engine 😂😂😂😂
Set it on fire and blame next door 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Get that engine. That’s what I would do or run it back. But the engine option seems better because there’s no other problem with the car.
Shoutout from the US all the way in Cleveland , these cars all around the world no matter it’s an auction or dealer are hit or miss.
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 "it does say stripped...but this is stripppeeedddd"
Great setback to set up a big comeback. You will learn from this and have that dinnertime story forever
A sweet guy, honest review
Hey Dee don’t let it get you down just because you bidded blind just go for it and rebuild it you might just make a small profit from this sale
Funny how the heads are on the engine but the piston and the cam pullys are in the boot. I think someone has changed the engine. But abandoned project. Put the manifold and turbo back and see if it starts up. More content 😂👍.
New engine dee keep the channel moving
Sorry to see this Dee... locating and fitting a new engine would be a fun project but as we all know time consuming with hidden costs and for a much smaller profit than you could make flipping others... Id have to stick it back through auction and take the loss
100% New Engine would also be good content
Not to worry! The engine was probably junk anyway😂😂😂
like your attitude and inner strength
depends ,a big chunk of profit has gone, you got the skills to chuck another engine in it, take the blow and move on, would be a mint car after you`ve finished. surely you`d make on it still ? you may take bigger hit relisting ?
Dee try to find a cat b same model. Should end up quids in.
Got a Jag XF, run and drive...and in fact the engine was aleady destroyed by the turbo...so had to refurbish the engine...replace the turbo...the repairs cost more than the car :)) but hey thank you copart :))
When you get a replacement engine make sure the ecu is flashed to stock. SUPER common on these, ppl remap them but they have an addiction to chewing their pistons
Break it , I’ll have the front near side fog light 👍🏼 😂but seriously what a kick in the teeth that must have been
It's a lovely car. Just look for a decently priced engine and you're a winner.
Best option ? Ebay only. Set it up from £8500 and I'm quite sure you can pick up money back with no loss. Good luck 👍
gotta be on the ball with copart ,easily done respect its not all win win
Rebuild and sell it for the most you can get mate = cut yer losses!
Defo peak times brother but yano what just bang an engine in 3 quid n keep it moving my g still gotta be worth more then 11500 fixed so even if man brake even once bitten twice shy n all that 👍👍
I feel for you bro sometimes we can get carried away when bidding on line, and yes it's on you to Reed all paperwork..
I would just put a new engine in it and drive it for awhile then sell it or just keep it really no other choice without taking a major loss
Boooooooooooom, Copart smoked your ASS. Well done your the Copart MODEL Customer. They would never show you a picture in the boot! Instead you get 2 x pics of the radio!!!!!!! No pics from under the bonnet?? Vague, Vague Copart!!
Great Vid, you seam a great guy. You'll find an engine in London (wink, wink) and done in the day!
My brother, whenever your spending that kind of bread 🍞, go see it personally regardless of where it is, but if your looking to spend 15-1800 US like i am, then you could take a gamble, like you said parts go fast until they don't then they sit, so you'll recoup some cash quickly, my bet is to throw an engine in it, replace all the factory plastic engine parts, and keep it.
Dee. Either..fix it, get the required engine parts. Rebuild as the interior and exterior are awesome and a great colour combination. Or, buy a used second hand engine. Shop around, as no rush. Or sell it on privately as is. Or back at Copart. You can fix this.
Just put a used motor in it and sell it. You should break even or get a profit depends on what the car is outfitted with...
Not a nice feeling I just brought my first copart car and feel sick 😫 😪 just gonna have to roll with it now and see what happens... knowing what you know now I guess it would of been less painful to swallow the £700 relist fee.. but now you got it don't think you've got any choice but to put an engine in it.. .🤷♂️ did copart take any pictures of the parts in the boot?????
Love this! I have started this on my channel 😃
Piston Broke or Pissed And Broke. I'm sure you'll get it fixed
D put it back through auction and let someone else buy it 😂
I have a car dealership. I just bought a 2017 Journey that ran good. Through the inspection process, we come to find out it needs a new motor. I can take it to auction at a loss, or put a new motor and make a small profit. I don't take anything to auction. Lol...
Great video mate! You knew the exercise! Bidding enthusiasm is a b*gger. Great tip to say that if there is no damage watch out 'coz there something seriously wrong to be on Copart.
Thanks for sharing this content for us rookies to copart.
If all engine components are there, use it as a learning experience and rebuild it, would make great content too.
I actually saw this car too on copart a few days ago. I was shocked on good the car looks, it got msport all around it. I think you should go all out and fix it, you commit too much time and effort already.
I'd try rebuilding the engine see what's going on with it.
Might be something mot as expensive as a new engine.
I bought a 2018 sprinter they put a blown engine in the hole and sold it on copart.
Never even bolted the prop shaft back on. Or put gear linkage on.
Ahh tricks of the auction world hey.
But they put the engine cover on and air filter box so it didn't look like it was fucked.
Same on your motor
Enjoy
But keep smiling 😁
You got the newest BMW with the engine in the boot 😂
Hahah
The car is immaculate, with a lot of determination and grit, you can smash this, excuse the pun. 🙏
If you have all or nearly all the engine parts why not send everything to a BMW engine builder and once finished install it back into the car. No replacement engine needed just the labour cost .... just a thought. Might save you time and money?
There are many parts. As on comments they looks in good condition. Consult with a mechanic. It may be sourcing a few items.
May be cheaper with fitting
Only option is get new engine them sell it or keep it. Rest of the car is good condition
Honestly i’d rebuild it as a project car, maybe a Jz swap. Perfect candidate.
Smash a salvage motor in it and get on with your life. It’s a good lesson to not repeat. Good looking body and interior, you may have paid too much, but in its current condition it’s not worth much.
Dee I would source an engine and fit it if it was me. Your £8600 in the hole which is a lot of cash and if you get a engine at 3k or less then your 11600 in the hole but it must be worth 15 or 16k also I am guessing its not a category car so its worth full value. OK its not massive profit for the time required but its better than stripping for parts.
What I would do is take that engine out and have it sent off and checked by an engine machine shop. If you can see any holes in the block then dont but if not send it off. You have most of the expensive parts there.
Take the spark plugs out and use a thin cane in the hole to see if they each rise up when you turn the engine over by hand. Also see if the engine headbolts are still tight.
This engine may be salvageable, if you check it over properly. It would be a waste if not, and spending a load of money on a new engine.
That is where I would start anyway, others may have a different opinion to me though.
Pistons won't rise up because they are laying in boot 🤣🤣
@@SalvageMasterEssex How do you know they are from this car if it's been in a chop shop?.. They could of replaced it or from another car, there is only 1 in the boot, seems odd. I have bought and sold enough stuff to know to not always go on face value..
Mate gutted for you.
See if a cat b is coming up ..if its had one up the arse your get your engine and sell the front end etc...ball ache but could still win...
You need to think limit loss/profit reduction. If an engine swap still makes a profit or a smaller loss than the other the options, then do it. At the moment, it's a 8.5k loss. Engine swap over rebuild.
Copart got me a couple of time with the runs and drives bullshit. The car started with a massive Rod knock. So they called that running I put it in gear and it died. I replaced the engine and will take a loss but I learned my lesson with them.
look at the bright side, you can turn this into a project car now
EXACTLY BIG UP ,👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿🏁🏁
