Such a great video! My dad has a BMW 335i with the N54, that engine is known as one of the most unreliable BMW engines ever, Well from the start we looked after that car extremely well and we also drive it extremely hard, after over 130000km there has not been a single issue at all! As long as you look after your BMW it will last forever! He also has a Toyota for work and it has been actually quite unreliable in just 2 years and it has under 100000km, and even though we do look after the Toyota well it simply is not as robust and reliable as the BMW!
Thanks for sharing your experience! I do believe a lot of the *Unreliable* comments are just due to owner negligence. However I should mention that some stuff are also due to poor design, like Crankhubs on the S55, Timing Chains on the N20, Rod bearings on the S85, etc…
No need to warm up. If you idle the engine for more than 7 seconds you're wasting fuel and more than a minute you're causing fuel to wash down to the oil pan and cause oil dilution. Also the oil pump is not spinning strong enough to pump oil as a engine with partial load. 10-20seconds is all you need and drive with a low rev count. The lower end half of your tachometer is good. 5 minutes after warming up to operating temperature you can accelerate as fast as you want
I bought a BMW 2016 535d with 34000 miles full BMW service history . So far in 2800 miles 02 sensor £450 , rear spring broke £ 350 , rear parking sensor loom £600 , drinking oil 400 miles a litre took back to the garage now small turbo leaking oil and play in the shaft so I'm replacing both with recon units £ 2500 hopefully the warranty will cover it . Lovely car to drive when it's not in the garage 😀
Boss! This was an old thought since the first car was built to let the engine to warm up a bit but recently the car manufacturers themselves rubbished this thought out and claim their cars don't need any warm up period but rev it up straight away.
I had a good experience myself with the LCI 2014 520d myself that i owned for 3 years with 180,000km on the clock. The 2.0 Petrol would be the N20 engine probably and I haven't had the best experience with it on my 328i if you watch my channel 😅 Just telling you about my experience but it also really depends on the specific car and how it was maintained by the previous owner.
@@AJDrives I have seen all your video on the BMWs it is a very insightful video And now I know that one needs to keep aside cash to ensure money can really buy happiness after buying the F10 or F30.
Hello guys. I have a question. I have a 2014 Honda Civic Si full bolt-ons with 250 hp and 170 lb/ft torque and I am thinking of getting a 2015 BMW 316i because I am looking for more comfort aware that I am going to lose a lot of power. Do you think it is a good trade or I should keep my Civic?
The 316i has the potential to be tuned to around 200hp, depends on what you're looking for honestly. I do have a couple of tuned 316i videos on my channel if you wanna check them out!
BMW starting become expensive once you modify or neglect it, just like most of the cars in the market. I'm driving 2012 320i and it wasn't big of a deal to my wallet until I started to modify it but doesn't matter, I love it. 😂
That's true, a lot of times modify and neglect go together with people.. 😂 That's where the real trouble begins. I've seen people who modify the car even before their basic maintenance is done!
First thing I did after getting my used car was straight away change all the old parts, making it running as good as new. You can't expect much on 10 years old car to stay in good condition like it was new @@AJDrives. After months of daily driving, I started to modify it and good lord... Performance parts and accesories aren't cheap but still gotta keep it well maintained or else it'll cost more than I wanted or expect.
some people when they drive bmw, they treat the car too much, like must send to SC la bla2….actually no need, i buy part and ask my friend to install, the spare part actually affordable, and some part installation actually can be diy- change coolant tank, coil-spark plug, etc. ❤
I don't see the point in doing a remap as an extra 50-60hp wouldn't really benefit me that much in the city. Just puts extra wear on an engine that's not shown me the best reliability.
Such a great video!

@@AJDrives Yes, I do totally agree with you on that!
Don’t stop making these videos man you my new #1
Thanks for your support 👌🏼 Have a lot more coming

I feel I get smarter, every time I watch this guy's videos 😮
Glad I could provide some value!
Great presentation, great showmanship, great accent, great information and a great service to the BMW fans. Kudos buddy! Jom teh tarik bro.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video 👌🏼 More to come!

Oh God 😂 Wish you the best man.. I've been there..

Thanks man!
Great video, and great humor too😂😂..lol
Looking forward owning my own BMW soon😊
Thanks! What are you planning to buy? 💪🏼
@@AJDrives I'm thinking of a F02 740i
Great looking car man! Go get it 🔥
good Channel. I have always waited 1-2minutes before shut down car or tractor especially if i know it is turbocharged.
I have been driving a Mercedes and I plan on getting a F10 thank you for the insight
That's great man, Which F10 are you planning to go for?
@@AJDrives not sure yet either the 2.0 petrol or Diesel
I had a good experience myself with the LCI 2014 520d myself that i owned for 3 years with 180,000km on the clock.
The 2.0 Petrol would be the N20 engine probably and I haven't had the best experience with it on my 328i if you watch my channel 😅

Hi AJ..i love BMW..planning to buy..
If 320i f30 stage 2 mod..can reach 270km-280km/h..??.
Thanks..already subscribed..
Hey man, I don't think so. Probably maybe 250-260
@@AJDrives noted AJ..i think if stage 2+..might be yes..but bit risk and pricey
Great video bro 💪👌
Where and how much you upgrade ur charge pipe? I’m from KL
Nice rim bro. What are those?
Got any list of other service centre that offer bmw services?
Hello guys. I have a question.
I have a 2014 Honda Civic Si full bolt-ons with 250 hp and 170 lb/ft torque and I am thinking of getting a 2015 BMW 316i because I am looking for more comfort aware that I am going to lose a lot of power.
Do you think it is a good trade or I should keep my Civic?
Im no bimmer old timer but most will said to buy at least 320i and above to feel real taste of bmw.
The 316i has the potential to be tuned to around 200hp, depends on what you're looking for honestly. I do have a couple of tuned 316i videos on my channel if you wanna check them out!

Yeap! you did the right thing 👌🏼 Make sure the car is running perfectly before going for performance mods
bro ur car got tuned before?
Not sure, I certainly haven't tuned it
some people when they drive bmw, they treat the car too much, like must send to SC la bla2….actually no need, i buy part and ask my friend to install, the spare part actually affordable, and some part installation actually can be diy- change coolant tank, coil-spark plug, etc. ❤
A lot of the work is actually quite easy to DIY, and yes, a lot of spare parts are not that expensive to buy!
This my friend, i agreed
Yeah bro most of time you whacked your car kaw but nvr seen you taking ur ride for remap, any reason bro?
I don't see the point in doing a remap as an extra 50-60hp wouldn't really benefit me that much in the city. Just puts extra wear on an engine that's not shown me the best reliability.
