I see videos and hear people talk about G.M trucks being unreliable. I work for a construction company and we have multiple G.M trucks pushing 300k rough terribly maintained miles .
Just because an engine is reliable doesn't mean the rest will be. Especially when it comes to German cars. Ever see a BMW with over 200k miles that hasn't had major repairs, is on the original engine and transmission, and everything on it works? Didn't think so. BMW doesn't come anywhere NEAR Toyota or Honda in terms of reliability. Not a single modern BMW is reliable. Period.
@jacobe195 bro r u blind he literally says in the beginning, that even if the engines are reliable the car isn't there's a lot of things that can go wrong in car especially in German cars😅😅
Modern BMWs with over 200k miles without any major work done definitely exist. The B58 with the ZF8 transmission are rock solid. The worst you have to worry about are electronic modules going out. As long as you take care of your car you shouldn't have any major drive train issues. Like a previous person said it's not 2008 anymore. BMW has made major progress improving their reliability.
@beefiddy8 really? Because I've never heard of one or seen own. Any decent mechanic will tell you to avoid BMW if you value your money. I've seen old BMWs with high mileage, but not one made within the last 25 years. And thered a reason for that, they won't last that long.
I own 2 trouble free BMW X5 XDrive. They both get 20 in the city and 26 on the Hyway. 335 Horsepower. Great in Snow & Ice and 5 Star Crash Rating. PS. They drive fantastic …. Just keeping it real from real owners. 😎🇺🇸👍
I love BMW, I’ve owned 3 in the past 5 years, never had to do anything more expensive than my recently done “major” service. I did spark plugs, Ignition coils, all my filters oil, cabin and air, rear brake pads and oil change on my 2019 330 that just hit 50k miles. That was the most expensive repair I’ve had to do and that’s after owning a 95 525i that I bought at 180k miles and sold at 240k and a 2011 528i I sold at 120k but only owned for a year. I bought my 330 at 36k miles btw. BMW has never treated me or my dad poorly growing up. Only a couple of models from 2000-2014 truly suffered but 80% of the cars run forever if serviced on time and treated with respect.
Totally agree. I'm at 53k on my '19 330. other than regular maintenance the b48 is very reliable and gets about 40mpg on the highway, even with an ecu tune
BMW engines are much more reliable these last few years, but then again it’s only the last few years (Which means they are still fairly new) Also, there’s more to car than just the engine. Electronic repairs in German luxury cars can cost you an arm and a leg and they are loaded with electronic gizmos!
I only needed a tow only once in my life it was because of a faulty crankshaft sensor, engine stopped while driving and wouldn't start, that was a diesel FIAT engine. (Great engine btw.) When I asked the tow truck guy which brands he tows the most, he showed me pictures on his phone he said mainly BMW and Mercedes. Sometimes it's not even an engine related problem and the car still won't drive. I drive a lot too and I see quite a few fairly new BMWs broken down...
Nearing 40k miles on my b58 (gracefully placed in a 3 series), along with a piggyback and intake mods. Got it new, never had any issues besides Android Auto problems, and I drive it hard basically every single time. Btw, intake makes it a new car sound-wise for $200, 100% recommend. It will make you do random pulls all the time for those turbo sounds. I just wish it had M x-Drive (selectable betweed rwd and awd) as well a manual handbrake and not a dumb button.
I had mine 340i tuned on bm3 e30 map from 40k miles to 175k miles. No issues. But make sure you keep up on maintenance. Plugs every 40-50k, oil oil oil every 5k miles. Dif and transmission fluid every 70-80k miles. Coils every 50k. Keep the car tip top and it will last. I only sold it because I wanted a bigger car.
Great list mostly Honda's and Toyota's and a Mazda and BMW the ones on this list are reliable BMWs but the other BMWs aren't were all Toyota's are reliable and the same as Honda's so are most Mazdas amd most Australians do like reliable cars so that is why in Australia you will a lot of Toyota's Honda's Lexuses Mazdas and Suzuki's on the road also some BMWs
@@bigwaveyyy626 Toyota Tundra and Tacoma are the bigger ones, very reliable and very durable, 5.7 liter or so, Revo and it's next model, Rocco are their younger sibling pick up trucks, 2.7 and 3.0 liter petrol and diesel variants with different trim levels, they are in Thailand, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines etc.,
OK so Honda is a reliable car right? Well my son has an 02 Civic (D17) that's on its 3rd engine and 2nd transmission... Technically 3 trans too but we put an unknown trans in it that lasted 100 miles. And he doesn't beat on either, my B5 1.8t is abused way more!
I could argue that probably 90% of car youtubers will say that hondas are reliable. And you are saying that your son had three engine repairs. And your conclusion is the car is bad? If it was not your son and for example a neighbour you dislike, would you have the same conclusion? 🤔
@@Rimkus7 no for the most part Hondas are reliable. My neighbor has an Accord with over 300K miles and definitely doesn't take care of it, only had it about a year or so. I was just saying not all are reliable and any car really can be if you fix things. Yes my son's car is on engine #3, he got the car with a rod through the block. He daily drives the car and it's never been down more than a few days even with engine and transmission swaps.
where the hell is my 2JZ-GTE at. Most reliable engine ever if the internals can handle 600hp reliably and it has half that power from the factory. Stock 2JZ motor would outlast all of us alive atm!
x5 is joke for reliability. Every other winter the condenser valve froze solid and the oil pressure got so high that it ejected the oil cap and blew oil all over the engine bay.
Two of the worst cars I've owned in my life were both NEW Honda's - An Accord and a CR-V - Be careful about making general sweeping statements like "Honda is synonymous with reliability". I will not buy another Honda again :(
You'll notice not too many 20+ year old European cars still going down the road.......most of them were a POS when they rolled out of the factory. Still don't see the allure, and many aren't even as luxurious as they used to be. I can basically afford any vehicle out there too BTW......
If you want reliability & cheap, very cheap maintenance cost then nothing comes even close to Toyota or Honda, yes a modern bmw can be reliable but it will cost a hell of a lot of preventative maintenance to achieve that reliability, they aren’t reliable like a Toyota/Honda that you can abuse & be problem free for at least 200k miles, they’re simple/low tech/low performance cars so can’t take the abuse, especially if non turbo versions, German luxury cars are the opposite, complex/great fuel economy comparibly/higher performance with the comparatively low emissions designed into them, they’re test beds for new technologies hence they’re comparatively very unreliable, also with all the green policies as well as the stupid extended service recommendations they’re bound to fail earlier than they should, throw in diesels being used for short journeys around town & dpf issues that come with that in such complex cars what do you expect. Yes the B58 seems to be more reliable, but that’s the fact that Toyota did they’re magic on it, not really a bmw engine tbh. I have a 14yr old petrol Honda Civic with over 155k miles on the clock, not a single engine/transmission fault, except for brakes & the oil changes every 12-15k miles, even missing oil changes a few times, the odd injector cleaner added to the tank maybe every 3 years or ago, apart from the driver door wiring harness problem it’s perfectly fine, bushes are a bit worn now, it’s still on the original spark plugs & runs smooth & quiet. Never had to change anything in the engine bay except a battery & light bulbs, the cardboard cost me less than £100 per year in parts/maintenance over the last 5yrs, doing the servicing & odd brake jobs myself. So it’s depends what you mean when you say “reliable”, a Toyota/Honda is reliable as in generally they won’t let you down & cost next to nothing to keep reliable, a bmw/Audi/Mercedes CAN be reliable but it will cost you more than 10 times more to achieve it.
You can't call the b58 modern 2j and then say it can't handle power, then it's no where near a 2j, the beautiful thing about a 2j was the beautiful bastards at Toyota over engineering everything and putting a forged crank shaft, cam shaft, cast iron block with an aluminium head, forged rods and piston, everything rating the stock engine power capability of anywhere from 750 to 1000hp if done properly so no where near a modern 2j if it goes boom with power 😂
