The Only BMW I’d Buy

Rev your engines, okay, here's one. I'm going to talk about the best BMWs I've ever built, yes Scotty who always says don't buy BMWs. Well, they used to make fantastic cars if you didn't care about the price in relative terms. Sure they used to be a lot cheaper than they are today, but compared to the average cost of a car they were always expensive cars, now BMWs, like Honda, are really known for their engines, originally the

only

engines they made engines of airplane in the world. The first war and they got a lot of power and good fuel economy.

The German military loved them, but after the war they weren't allowed to make airplane engines, so they did all kinds of crazy things and then in 1923 they decided they were going to make them. motorcycles so you can see my analogy with Honda here fits perfectly, they made great BMW motorcycles, after all the motorcycle is just an engine with wheels the most important thing is the engine and then in 1928 BMW finally started producing cars , now the first BMW I am. What we are going to talk about is being a great car, the 2002tii. Now the name may fool you.

The 2002 is a model and the tii meant it was fuel injected which was a rarity at the time the 2002tii was produced from 1972 to 1974 very quickly. A small sports car in those days, getting one hundred and thirty horsepower into a small two-liter four-cylinder engine was a real achievement, it really was the beginning of luxury sports sedans, of which there are millions of them today. , The people was thinking. Of you had a sports car or had a luxury car but you have nothing in between now today the 2002tii are collector's items. I have a customer who has one, it's his baby, you know, he takes it with him on Sundays if it's not raining and they were an excellently built car that can stand the test of time.

I'm sure they were a little boxy looking, but I'm talking about cool cars, how they drive, how long they last, how they run, and in that sense, they were cool cars. The next great car BMW made was the e30 m3 from the European Tour championships from 1987 to 1994. This car won over a thousand victories. I'm making this up, over a thousand. He ran in dirt races and won in paved races, so it was a serious race. vehicle that could be driven on the street people bought them little they wanted something real they wanted a real racing car they didn't want to buy something that looked like the racing car with the body they wonder if the engine suspension won all that and they were and it is that's why they have such a high value these days, you can't buy these things cheap but they were really well built vehicles, no3, another choice of a great BMW car was the 633 CSI, some people may not like to specify the specifications , but it's a shame I had a client with them.

They were excellent cars. They began manufacturing them in 1976 and originally the bodies were manufactured by Carmen. It was a German company. Most people had heard of the Karmann Ghia. Volkswagen, which was also a Carmen design company. they finally went bankrupt in 2010 but they didn't make fancy cars and the 633 CSI they liked the styling so much that they

only

made it with two doors, they didn't bother making big four door cars that kept them sporty with only two doors and They were fun cars from To drive, they had plenty of speed, especially with the standard transmission, and while they weren't the full racing version of the Sunny em 30, they were a great forty-two-door car to drive and didn't break down on the straights. six cylinder engines were just flawless now they originally had carburetors but of course none were fuel injected sports cars in those days they drove like shit they fell apart these things were solid they walked like a dream they were fast but they were very comfortable at the same time for me.

The 633 csi is a BMW with a bed. They made them for years and years and years. They didn't sell millions of them. They were a great sports car for people to drive. There are many businessmen here. in Houston they had them, those who were serious about driving drove those things now the next BMW that was a great car was the 733i and it was great as a luxury now they were not racing cars by any means, but they were very luxurious, they had lots of power and we are very comfortable, they have enough power to get around, they handled like a dream but had very luxurious handling and interior and of course the earlier they are as far as I'm concerned the better they are because They didn't have all the plastic wrap that modern BMWs have that gets damaged all the time.

I had a customer with one that had 350,000 miles on the original engine, original transmission, that thing just purred for a long time, you'll never get that out. of a modern BMW, all that plastic crap that will start to break the electronics will start to fail every time a customer comes in who was thinking of buying a used BMW, brings it here for me to check it out and I hook up my five grand behemoth to it. Dollars. scan tool I will find between 17 and 67 different things that are wrong with the car when you scan all the electronics because things just fall apart as they age.

High-tech electronics using plastic sensors. Plastic intake manifolds. They just have problems as they get older. I guess even the Bluejays agree with me that the last great BMW I'll talk about is a 1991 BMW 85i. I'm putting this one up because it had a really powerful v12 engine, it was a 5 liter v12 that you took. Ford has a 5 liter V8, so even though it is a 5 liter V12, the pistons don't have to move as much, they have less stress than if they had been a V8 engine of the same size, they were smooth, they were powerful if you would compare their handling On a day with other cars around you would be surprised at the difference between the Rolls-Royce V12 engine and a pure BMW V12 engine.

According to the customer's wishes they were going to put another engine in their rolls-royce they bought an engine one guy said oh yeah that's a good rolls-royce engine they found out it was actually a BMW engine it was not the BMW style engine that Rolls-Royce had modified and they ended up I went to court and they won because they showed that the guy said it was a Rolls-Royce engine that they had sold for their Rolls-Royce but in reality it was the BMW engine and although they are similar engines I don't think so. they are exactly the same finman, you could make them work, but the guy at rolls-royce wanted to keep it original, but the very fact that rolls-royce, who are known for their engines, after all they made the engines for the Spitfires and they do everything type of Jatin turbo engines for airplanes The fact that they were using the base BMW design in the car shows that BMW makes pretty good v12 engines.

This v12 stuff will fade into the distance because they kept putting in more cylinders to get more power. and smoothness, but today you can get a four cylinder engine that makes more horsepower than the 91 v12, but if you collect cars and want to buy one, go ahead, but it's not something you're going to buy and use every day. Driver, now you know some BMWs, I think they are great cars and if you notice they were all older, I am not including any of the newer ones, but yes, they still make very good engines. They began manufacturing World War II aircraft engines. two, it's just that the rest of the cars have too much computerized plastic planned obsolescence built into them to recommend anyone buy one long term if you absolutely have to make a BMW perform like most Canadians, most Canadians do.

BMWs in Canada are leased, they just lease them and then get rid of them when the lease is up, so if you really want to get a modern BMW and you like driving it, lease one, don't buy it, so if you never want to miss another one From my new car repair videos, remember to ring the doorbell.
