Calvin does "Carly" work over in Ireland bro
Hey Calvin I have found a set of m4 comp wheels on eBay I have tagged you in a post on twitter 😂😂 hope there the ones your looking for
When you did the check in the first video, you could see the miles were slightly less over one of the periods of time it was measured at
global @@liamegan4303
Calv i would be interested in the 437m wheels if your changing them 👍👍
The lads in bradford were kicking death outta that in 2018-19
100k ++++++
Bradford Wastemans
lol I’ve also seen this in Bradford
Guaranteed it’s had a mileage blocker, Carly wouldn’t show you that it’s had one it’ll only show you the recorded highest odometer reading on the ECU, you have to get the mileage on the gearbox read to give you a better example, based on the condition of the car. The wear on the interior and the state of the seats. That cars had well over 100K on it, Google it. Possible an ex hood rental
Someone that knows how to clock them can do it untraceable anyway As long as it’s done before mots and services no one would ever know
@@Tommyaff very true. Very easy to make it untraceable. But not impossible
Mileage blocker blocks the abs sensor who communicates with the ecu, gearbox, odometer, key etc etc so the miles never get counted.
as the oem rear diff bushing goes at 50,000 miles it could well be that the powerflex bushing was put in because of this, Ive done 58k miles in my June 2018 M4 Comp and Im waiting to get an appointment to have rear diff bushing done under warranty €1200! but Id much rather get the whole rear and front bushings done with power flex and know that it won't crack again
original video seems to show a dip in miles on the graphic
The last owner really was a mug like how tf do you get a m4 to that state
He clearly couldn’t afford the car or its maintenance and was lucky that Calvin wanted a project for the channel.
Classic chav, buying a bmw sports car, spends 1000’s on performance mods, neglecting the maintenance.
Cost of living mate prob couldn’t keep up with car like that hence why many cars are getting sold cheap now
Road man
Its had 8 owners most likely done before he had it tbf
you can not ignore the basic signs, look at the wear on the drivers seat bolster,thats not 35k wear.
Tbf the bolsters on these m4's wear really fast but its the 8 owners i'd be worried about
My m140i showed a loy of wear and that was 4 years old and bought from bmw. The wear on them seems to be pretty poor to be fair. It also had 35k miles on it.
@@andy00grantpeople think bmw is Uber premium, it’s not
Mine was worn the same at 35k
If I lived anywhere near I would take all my cars to Will for anything needing done. Always seems like a top bloke.
Great video
He’s a really good guy and a great friend 🙌
I do live close. Fully booked the last I checked about a month ago. Tells me it’s a good garage.
Putting the right battery in this could potentially sort out quite a few of the issues, especially a poor idle and the electrical quirks with the indicators and brakes.
Reminds me of my E46 that was idle surging between 400-800rpm on idle.
Obviously that would be the battery needing a quarter turn on the positive connector.
BMWs.
BMWs like do a lot of strange things before you even notice the battery is on the way out, mine got me I thought it was something serious
Car vertical my arse.
Dedication and genuine approach make your channel a joy. Congrats!
Really enjoyed the videos on this one thank you Calvin!
Check the gearbox miles, that's how you know whether it's been Clocks or not
Carly checks that as part of the Used car check
For the headlight issue, check out KYCS in Birmingham. They are a bmw headlight specialist and will fix that if it’s a broken lense or a bad seal. They fixed a lense on my old m4 icon headlight due to a stone chip crack that made the light condensate up like that.
That’s really helpful thank you
@CalvinsCarDiary don't use them mate horrible wiring and horror stories, try bimmer coding
Great update, was looking forward to Will's reaction 🙂! , was worth the punt and going to make some great content. Think a set of 666M comp wheels will finish it off nicely when all up together. Could loose the competition badge as well, don't think the F82 M4 competition ever came with a competition badge, people just started to add competition badges off M2's to them
Never usually comment on UA-cam videos but been watching you for years and honestly your content never lets me down. Learnt a lot from your trips to VRS when looking at cars online😂
Tempting me to be a dreamcatcher on PoD now cause of this! Keep up the good work and can’t wait to see this restored
I need all the support I can get with this one so can you go sign up please 🙏🏼😂
Do it mate it’s well worth it. Only platform I’ll spend money with and very HAPPILY.
Always entering PoD comps. Hopefully I can win one some day soon. Hopefully this when it’s all perfect again. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼
Go on Calv🙏congratulations on 250k, keep doing what you do. Best guy on UA-cam!
Indicator problem most likely down to that dodgy headlight. when water gets in the ballast goes bad and makes the indicator flash fast. Had the same issue on my f10 and Mercedes my mate had, had the same issue.
Loving this!
Great to see that WIII VRS now in use!, great to see that from Aurther's Golf R brought you two together, like brothers now!
He's been using him for years, what you on about.
Congratulations on 250k subscribers. Great channel. Well done Calv.
And 250k miles m4 😂😂😂
Enjoying the content, thank you.
It’s had a mileage blocker I wouldn’t be surprised it’s it’s done at least 100k plus, get a gearbox reading
Wills eating good tonight 🤣
Lmaoooo😂
kachingggggggg, acts like he cant be arsed with it, but he knows the £££££ are rolling in, hahah
Why did that vrs guy not check the milage in the gear box. That car is definitely over 100k
75k+ easily
Mileage blocker will leave no trace unfortunately
@@marcust123my mates on his m4 does 1 in 4, none at all or half .
He is a key specialist and coding expert and you won’t find any mileage on his key gearbox or ecu’s the guy we use clears all the stored ecu’s as even the headlight ecu can store mileages so he runs a programme that does them all
@@chiefrocka8604where do you live so I can avoid
The front mount intakes are responsible for the idle issue on first cod/initial start. They dont like them mine were all the same. After the lambdas pickup a reading, they take over the air/fueling mix and it should be fine...
Alternatively blip the throttle a few times and it will stop.
One of the 'drawbacks' with the intakes. Or simply put stock ones back on. 🙂
Top fella Calv..deal of the century that comp mate..couple of quid on it.. sorted.keep it up pal. Making great content
Been waiting for this one
Ive got a 2015 m3 calv only 18000 miles and is still like new and interior is prestine I’ve only covered 4 thousand miles in 3 1/2 years
The front wheel bearing was advised on the MOT in 2021! Oddly at less than 10k miles...
We noticed this as well! Poor car! 😆
At least it’s finally getting the love it deserves now, I feel like one of them homeless dog rescuers but for cars 🤣
@@CalvinsCarDiary That car definitely deserves some mechanical sympathy. Despite a questionable past, it looks like it'll make a good car. Rescued just in time 👍
I love all the detective input from everyone. Enjoying this channel lately too. Nice one!
@@CalvinsCarDiary Plug in a diagnostic and check the gearbox data, it also stores mileage in KM. Grab the number and convert to workout the miles :) Remove the cluster and see if anything is plugged into the loom on the back of it too. You'll find out if there's a blocker when you go to flash and get kicked out or softbrick the ecu
Looking forward to an updated video on this car.
Need to get the water sorted on the headlight asap - my 440i was close to having corroded wires from the water build up in the headlight
Great video
What a surprise hopefully it's not going to break the bank
Got to be the Comp alloys though
Have a look at the screws amthat hold the dash clocks in. Look for any scratches to the screw/bolt heads. Pretty sure the mileage blocker attches behind the clocks
Hey Calvin. I’ve just bought an f80 m3 in October 2033 and have had issues with it from the time I got it from the dealership. It’s currently back with them whilst they try to sort it out. Bought it just for the Yas Marina Blue colour as it reminded me of my LSB E46 M3.
Really a joy to see your channel, the editing and how you put everything together man. Well done.
Just subscribed! And not for the free car lol I’m all the way over in South Africa
Let’s hope I get my m3 back soon
What is the future like?
Great content Calvin. Hope we get some more answers before the give away 👍👍
Great video Calvin. Enjoyed finding out the issues with the m4.
Will has lost his 3 badge on the boot lid of the m3. Crime really is shocking just now.
Perhaps ring around all the McDonald’s see how times it was around 😂
I’ve got an m140i with 28k miles on the clock and it looks much much cleaner than this underneath! Be really interesting to see if you can find out the official mileage some how 👍🏼
Im pretty sure that you can take the key into BMW and they can plug it in and show the millage
Will videos are the best videos
Looking forward to the next update
It was when he said in the last video ‘I just want something more reliable’ and quickly changed the subject 😂
Good video this 👌
I had a 4 year old m140i that I bought from bmw with coral red interior. The interior was already wearing heavily on bolsters and it was fading I also had an issue where it ended up being a 5 cylinder purely because it wasn't being used enough ( I bought it during covid). Some cars need constant running to stay sweet.
Did you fix it by driving it more?
@philipt12345 Well, I never had the same issue again. It was a fuel injector issue if I remember correctly. Also had an issue with a control unit that was 1300 pound just for the part as it was only available from bmw.
Just check the 2 black screws on the cluster any signs of removal will be visible and will be good indicator that it’s had a mileage blocker installed
Brilliant piece of content as per Calv, You even convinced me about the Carly!! Just been on and ordered one (Finally) Been looking at them for a while and your discount code clinched it for me! Can't wait til it comes now, although i'll have to tell the good lady it was a fiver ebay job lol
😂😂
They’re brilliant you’ll love it 👍👌
@@CalvinsCarDiary It arrived mate and I couldn't be more happier with it! Even plugged it into my sons car and found a few faults. Thanks again for the discount code!
Interesting stuff brother sure u gonna find some serious gremlins, especially the mileage, definitely bin riced,gl!☠️😬🥶🙈🤷🙏🙏🙏🙏
Matt Armstrong got some competition alloys from his latest build. I’m sure he’ll be swapping them out once he’s repaired the car
35k (More 110k) & 8 Owners? I wouldn't have personally... However after the look under, im slightly more confident.
Calvin, I recommend you ISTa to check the mileage on ABS sensors + gearbox. This is the only way you know for 💯 sure. Good luck!
Carly does this too
That track rod looks bent to me, had one on a 3 series other day at work come in for alignment, “ tyre’s keep wearing out “
Will is such a positive man, he’s worked on a couple of my cars and nothing is a issues for him..
crazy you actually brought that
😂
He bought a 30k car for 18k…
I know nothing about these cars ……………but wheel bearing on old MOT at less than 10k
Also MOT in April 22. Matey bought it in August 22 then it wasn’t MOT until November 23 some six months after it expired. He didn’t mention that.
Hey Calv do a car check you can see the miles are wrong it’s done 9k miles in three years then a shed load of faults then it starts creaping up. If you check the receipts and not the electronic bmw history it may help but I would say it’s got 75k on the clock
Will is a good guy, serviced my RS4 several times. if my RS6 not under Audi warranty VRS is the place where I would take my car for service.
Calv, I’ve got a nice little manual B8 S4 which I plan to part with soon. I think that would make for great content for POD, would there be any interest from your side?
Calvin my guy…. I don’t know if it’s just me but I subscribed to your channel along time ago and just checked and it said I wasn’t subscribed!!! I’ve noticed this on a few channels I was subscribed to so don’t know if that’s why it’s saying people watching ain’t subscribed!!! Ask people to check if there subscribed and maybe that will help get your numbers up mate!!! ❤
You should take it to imran at evolve in Luton he is able to check if it’s had a blocker I think with special software
Will be a nice motor once will sorts it out Calvin 👍🏻
Here you have one more subscriber mate 😊
Some interesting videos of this car on social media showing how it’s been treated by its previous owners….. defo been hit into something plenty of near misses online!
9:00 you do know that you can switch off the unlock/lock beep on the i drive system? 😅
not a chance that's done less than 40k, its had its head kicked in and weed in the arm rest 😂
You and Will are hilarious together! 😂😂😂😂
The mileage is still questionable, but I have a theory: why would someone polybush the rear on a low mileage car? To make it better on track. This might’ve been someones track toy, hence not putting many miles on it. It would also make sense the turbos wearing out so quickly. That front right wheel and tie rod has definitely had a hit at some point too and had been bent and straightened, which would explain the wheel bearing being bad at this mileage as well.
8 people using it as a track car 😂
All 9 owners can't of just used it as a weekend car, definitely not the true mileage displayed.
For a top garage, you’d think vrs could run to a decent inspection light……..
So car vertical isn't always going to be correct?
The further you delve the more you’ll find. CarVertical can’t be your eyes but it does so much more than your eyes can do.
Car vertical is garbage, it's Calvin's paid sponsor so I understand why he has to promote it but I checked a car before and car vertical didn't find the salvage pictures but another website did...
@@08Nezappreciate it 👍
I suspect the after market milage blocker has shorted the electrics somewhere hence the warning and the indicator problem. All this can be fixed the and it’s an amazing car to win
Lol
why would the mileage blocker affect anything..?
@@bimmerbitch because it needs to be wired in
This car is great content in so many ways
Lads and ladies make sure you subscribe to the channel , so calv can put money into these cars that he’s purchasing for us without paying out of his own pocket . Honestly I feel terrible for ya calv
Thanks mate. It all helps so much trust me and the more I get the more I’ll give. This stuff is so entertaining even for me. Hit subscribe people! 🙏🏼
Same shit all the time....try Mat Armstrong
He daily’s a rolls Royce boo hoo
The mileage blocker was probably put on by the second or third owner and left on until purchased by the eighth owner. 😮
The 😅 gear knob had me at WTH
🫣
Yeah, how do you even break that? Maybe hanging onto it steadying yourself from the g forces while ragging it 🫣
Its the no of owners thats so weird....9 over 35k miles over 6 years. Thats nuts. Av miles 3.9k per owner........
The fact it failed it’s first MOT after 9000 miles 😂
Lithium battery’s ain’t cheap, but you can fit a AGM battery long as you get the IBS earth lead of another model
Very interesting… nice to see a good car restored to its former glory… 👍💴
With them miles and 8 owners its 4k roughly a owner. Deffo has had a mileage blocker on it..
Failed its first Mot after 9000 miles
@TB41n0 tells you all you need to know about its life. Good for a track toy tbh and thats about it.
I would bet my left nut that this car has done more than 36k. I've owned a lot of BMW's over the years and my experience is you have to really, really abuse one to show it's age and mileage. Great content and glad it's you taking the risk for all the right reason rather than the 10th, 11th or 12th owner who feels like they have been cheated out of a large sum of money.
Yeah, years ago I bought a 5 series with about 100k miles. Something was off for me. There was a little too much wear in the carpet but I bought it anyway. Gave some problems so decided to move it on. Phoned bmw for a service history and discovered the last service 5 years previous was at a higher mileage! BMW’s wear really well. My current 3 series is on 85k and cleans up like new still.
The number of issues & 8+ owners doesn't add up, I wouldn't have paid that much for it. But as a content vehicle Great choice 👍
Looks like it hit a high curb ripped off front splitter and bent the driver side front wheel. Hence different alloys.
YES IVE BEEN WATING FOR THIS ONE .the milage is mad .VRS go too town .
What a good guy giving people a chance to win awesome cars that are turn key ready 👌
I would not have expected a wheel bearing to fail in such a low mileage car ??
Friend bought a SEAT Leon Cupra 300 from SEAT dealership with 38k miles and that needed wheel bearing replaced under warranty. We know this 9 owner cars had a hard life it’s mileage could be similar to a car that’s been tracked if mileage is genuine and every one of those owners given the car a good thrashing.
You should put on some sl01 from japan racing their light weight and they look very good on a m4 and price is not bad
Is that M3 badge on front grill lol
Many comments reckon a solution to giving a definitive answer on the mileage debate lies in a gearbox check whatever that means, others the keys checked out by BMW. Depends if you really want to know the answer to the puzzle.
Hi Calvin what do you use to find out the options the car cane with from new?
put the vin in m decoder if BMW
@richardhill9473 yeah I know about that one. I was trying to find something to look up details of cars before I buy them. Obviously dont have access to vin at that point . I'm sure I've seen people just use the number plate but not sure. Maybe I'm being an idiot 🤣
been saving all my boost for something like this one
Hard to imagine that mileage was real unless it was a track experience car. Things in an awful state, chap you bought it off was well dodgy too. Great you’re sorting it and rescuing it from the previous owners neglect. But let’s be honest there’s at least twice the miles on it 😅😅
I think you are spot on with it being a track experience car.
@@ub40timetrack experience cars don’t even get pushed to their limits
Parking sensors dont work after it's had a bump, that explains the alignment issue.
Great video as always Calvin hoping to see you give away an evo at some point 😂😂
The hunting on cold start is caused by the open air, air intakes
Battery light will go if you put the original m4 battery.i had the same problem and the car will drive better
You can’t trust car vertical or an mot history checker, know this as a car I was looking at had a set of clocks changed at a certain mileage and basically that mileage was “lost”, subsequent mot’ s reported the mileage from when the clocks were changed. So could this also happen with modern cars I’m wondering?
The mileage is recorded in the computer modules not on the clocks on BMW as far as i know, so new clocks will display same mileage as old ones.
@@stevenc5227 yes that makes sense, cheers for confirming, that BMW has done more than the displayed mileage, that’s for sure, the red flags are there 😳
Also, why don’t you see if Mabz from NVM will provide a few uprated parts for it? Be a great collab and he’s a BMW wizard!
After watching the first vid on this I’m really looking forward to the rest man ✊🏻✊🏻 also if your getting rid of the wheels hit me up 😉😂
135k miles you mean 😂
You could have a M4 competition with standard wheels . I did think Harmon Kardon was standard ?
Just subscribed
Ive been shopping for an m4 this week ive looked at five and theyve all had issues , suprises me tho how cheap they are compared to m2 m3 ,
Polo looks nice.
Shame I've no space left on the Driveway 😢
However
I'm 3rd owner on FK2 42,k miles
17plate Still original Tires!
In 3 years of Ownership only covered 2.5k miles
Immaculate condition (Never Sell)
This BMW is Dodgy!! 😮😮
I wonder if the Dash was Disconnected??
Possible "PoolCar"🙊🙊
I mean your more ballsy then me. That’s the most dog of an m4 there probably ever is.
