@Tyler Even if you're 16 and have a full head of hair, women can tell if you're going to go bald
There's no such thing as a 'cheap' BMW Alpina. You'll pay one way or another, but make no mistake. You WILL pay.
Ahahahaha... Hoovie, thank you for buying it..!!! 😁😁😁
Hey Hoovie, can you help me out and buy me out of two hoopties? They are mostly taking up space at this point but I think they can give you good content. Obviously heading what they are you'd probably be like how, but it's 01 Rav4 awd and 99 v6 Accord coupe. Great price for the set!
@ninjabongtoker I actually bought this keeps product, after reading a little further, they dont tell you the side effect of possibly getting prostate cancer from this crap, ended up not using....
Three BMW owner here - 740i Sport, 740iL, and 325ci convertible. They depreciate so well. (Depreciation is a gift from the Car Gods to us car guys.). Most repairs on them only need to be done once. I bought mine, all very nice, rust-free 2001s, with moderate mileage (80,000 average) and near the bottom of their depreciation curve. I have personally put about 100,000 miles on the trio in 6 going on 7 years. Buy them for 90-95% off of the original sticker price, fix them, love them. I feel like a know a secret way to buying really nice cars that few people seem to understand. Next on my list: a 750iL or maybe an X5.
But thanks for proving my point.
The Car Wizard was right I am sorry. BMW stand for POJ! Piece Of Junk!
You can repair the fuel pump, replacing the seals lvworld.info/face/video/hcWylrDInLuee9Q All E60/E61/E65/E65 will give error/codes (Christmas tree) when you have a weak battery.
Goddammit BMW what are fun people, ashamed to say how much money they spend and lost on this goddamn BMW? this company should bankruptcy E39 BMW have a hundred more issues it's made it deliberately BAD quality just to suck the money from the customer, Goddammit BMW company & BMW engineers
I over paid for a 03 745li . I'm going to take the long route. I'm not letting go.
Ugh. Easy $20 fix for those pumps. I'm doing valve stem seals on another V8 right now. Can be done in 2 days work. They lasted 160K miles. I have 2 of the previous generation 7 with the timing guides as well. They last to 200K with regular oil changes. It's just maintenance and Hoovie needs to learn to get his hands dirty if he wants a flagship.
german & italian car engineering is bullshit. they sell u a maintenance package along with a crappy car. JDM for life!
Question, why can’t they be removed, there has to be somewhere that can Rebuild them. Did you look into that? Steve O
They make these basically unrepairable costwise b/c those that can afford new ones will simply buy another. The older models parts are priced such they make the cars not worth repairing and this keeps the new ones selling as well. l think Mercedes figured out they werent selling big numbers b/c people were keeping their cars for decades b/c of reliabilty in the 50s,60s and 70s and decided to make them in the disposable business model after that. I think only Henry Ford wanted to build a car that would last and be repairable. Shortly after the 'T' planned obsolescense was the standard.
This cars would be great if swapped with 2jz twin turbo
You can fix the fuel pumps for a few bucks. Only idiots buy new pumps.
“And it’s just like your murcialago”😂😂😂😂
You do know there is a 20 dollars fix for the HPFP right
Hoovie is some of the most entertaining video on LVworld
Two really nice cars, two really nice garages and two guys who probably shouldn't own them. Own a bmw has two requirements *Really rich and careless with cash or *A very patient mechanic
Buy a 05 5 series
$5000 for 2 fuel pumps? &^%$£*&^"@ BMW!
Over complicated Garbarge yep
0:17 good for him smoking 🚬 is not good for you.🙆🏻♂️If you know what I mean 🚫BMW🚫 is like smoking.🚭🤦🏻Feel good but it f@#k you later.🤣🤣

6:49 If you really thought that about a v12 7 series.... I cry...
Bought a b7 white. 2007. I abandoned it the next day
Why do fools buy these cars new, incredible depreciation, way overpriced parts
For that price for fuel pumps.... someone has got to be into rebuilding them for probably 1/4 of the price.
You say DON'T DO IT TYLER, DON'T SHAKE THAT HAND!!!! But it was too late the first pull on that straight away...sheesh!
These BMW nightmare stories are awesome! Keeps me from making the same mistake.
That was some kind of shyamalan twist there at the end.
Thanks. I was considering to buy one. Not anymore. BMW really is absolute JUNK.
So when you buying the NSX back?
Welp. Time for an LS swap.
My SAME experience was with a “Deal” 07 Audi 4.2 Quattro A6...what a driver, especially in the rain. Then Water pump fail requiring pulling the front clip...timing belt, 1/2 dozen coils spread over 2 years ...vacuum leaks, throttle / vacuum linkages, failed sensors that kept the check engine light coming back (-$7k over 3 yrs) culminating in a dramatic transmission failure.... off to the auction it went. I lost it all. $800 sale.No More used German luxury cars... You are correct, the Tesla Effect is not why these cars (BMW, Audi...) deprecate. They are poorly engineered for lifecycle value. Way too much complexity and sensors. The Audi/VW parts 3X more cost than Lexus equiv... - made for the 1% who lease and write off their cars as business capital equip. Eliminate that tax loophole, and watch the rich drive Toyotas
did bmw ever hear customer voice?? or they just ignored.
Can you find those pumps used?
BMW doesn’t know the word “recall”. Instead, we enthusiasts will default to calling it “common issues”.
Hoovie you did not drive 400 miles with the bmw emergency mode active 😂 my bimmer used to do that when it had a bad misfire (humping down the road, no acceleration) and i couldnt even go a quarter mile like that! You got it towed tell the truth! Luckily for me, i could turn the car off and it would go back to normal.
BMW - The ultimate driving machine - when it's working. Used Bimmers are always in the used car section of Japanese luxury car dealers.
Need 2 one to drive, one for parts.... stop buying new parts and buy a doner car, ;)
As someone who owns a 2007 bmw 750i for about four years now I’m about 5600 dollars in the hole. Or about 1400 dollars a year on average and I drive about 4000 miles a year.
I mentioned this exact issue would happen when you first posted about this car lol, good luck bud
Can you imagine hating BMW so much that you would pass on the money that could be made fixing it 😂👍🏻
Any chance your wizard mechanic could service my lovely 1987 Citroen BX 19GTI? I’d love to see a DS 21 or 23 Pallas in your garage!
Tyler, I’m going to sound like your and my father’s. You should buy American they are cheaper to repair!
Tyler, Do they have keeps for cars? You might need to consider getting some if so!
German cars are pice of s**t.
At least the blinker fluid is still intact from non-use.
did he buy another bmw? lol
" this is Hoovies Bank going blank"😂
Man this thin is awesome *things fall off while accelerating*
I've never once thought I should copy anything Hoovie does. I'm watching for my entertainment that some poor fool thinks he's getting a bargain paying 5k for a used BMW. Because it's 5k for a reason.
I got a BMW advert when I clicked this video
i'd buy that engine swap it and enjoy it. but i am not a purist though.
Traded into a Toyota dealer... oh yes!!! That owner finally opened his eyes...
Sigh..! Easy to understand with Hoovies fleet why his mechanic the Car Wizard is seen looking at luxury boats & even islands for sale online while working on these projects :-P! Admittedly Hoovie owns a number of very attractive vehicles but almost universally are mechanical nightmares or dreams depending on if your the one who owns such or the one repairing them.

You can rebuild those pumps for a lot cheaper. Don't let the car die!
Can someone tell me the Channel to Johnny? been searching for a while
Bmw fuel pumps are insanely expensive, mine gave out 190k so cant complain too much.
www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=846470#/topics/846470 You can fix the 760 for under £500 in parts. The pump can be rebuilt.
BMW doesn't care. They sold the car and took the money. You can scrap it after a month as far as they are concerned.
This car is a steal of a deal and a lot of fans would give an arm or a leg to buy this car at parts money like $3500 or even double.... Hoovie knows this too....!
Wassup Hoovie am a supporter and fan of your channel but am disappointed to inform you that one of your advertising about keeps hair loss has result into a scam and even doh they don’t represent you as a brand it makes you just as responsible by advertising them assuming you did not do the proper research on the companies you choose to advertise on your platform.
Had two BMW's.... learnt my lesson bought a Toyota.... happy days😊.
Deamn !!!!!!
This is like married at first sight for guys
Bought a 2000 740iL with really high miles about 5 years ago. I drove it to work everyday. Fixed any issues (there were many) myself and kept it on the road. The craftsmanship and luxury in that 20 year old car is amazing. My new car is a 2018 Challenger RT. I’d rather drive the BMW.
Do you Almond?
Expect to spend alot of money when you buy the cheapest of anything..
Hoovie I quite enjoy buying old bmw’s, it’s more effective to have them in a rotation of two.
I think i've found the high preassure pumps for about half the price. Bosh pumps. From a large German site.
hum i just found the fuel pump for 300 bucks lmao
Okay Hoovie I love ya and I know you're just trying to make interesting content for us all but if you actually would try to look a little like open ebay and type in (I forget the year of you V12 but I'm sure it was between something like "BMW 2006 - 2011 V12 fuel Pump") you would see you can get rebuilt kits for $190 or if you don't want to do that you can purchase rebuilt pumps for between $270 to $360. Delivered (50 states). But I understand. That's not fun youtubes. LOL.
You shit bird I wanted that car !
It’s still looks awesome Fix it ! 🤩
I hate you man you talk to much about unnecessary things stfu
Mercs are just as expensive if not more to keep fixing as u well know. i will not own another of either unless brand new & on lease so its not my problem when they do go wrong. i wont buy any german car built after 2006 after that they weren't built to do 300k plus now they are build to last the 2/3years of warranty and it shows we see thousands weekly on the back of recovery trucks. my firend 2019 bmw 330 has been for 6 major repairs with sensors included under warranty already, his brothers E class amg super saloon has been back to his dealer 4 times for sensors and 3 for major repairs. the main recovery companies in the UK the RAC and the AA say if u want trouble free motoring only buy toyota and nissan. thats it the rest all have lots of unreliable sensor and mechanical issues
I my friend are torn between a bmw and Mercedes. Any insight would help
Dont know why the owner is so sad, these cars can be parted out and they make twice what they paid for it
2 fuel pumps cost more than the car LOL
Who in their right Mind will a 3500€ Alpina B7 not expect to fail soon after purchase.. Come on, this Car , with reasonable mileage, no or just Minor accidents, good mantainance is at least worth 9-10000€.
Keep running it like that and you will need o2 sensor , and Cat's.
I had a co worker who bought a bargain Cadillac that was always breaking down. He constantly complained about how much it was costing him to keep it. One day, one of his buddies made the astute assessment, "You have to have Cadillac money to own a Cadillac car".
Junk
Just FYI: AutoZone has a fuel pump for a BMW 760i for %565.99.
BMWs haven't been designed to last for decades. They're meant to be leased.
There is no such thing as a BMW that does not cost a fortune to keep going once they get some mileage on them
I love hoovie... Tyler” how many miles ....?” Driver”...175,000” Tyler”yeah that’s a lot of miles” ......***silence*** 🤣🤣🤣
i'd lay under ur cars enstead of those fancy rugs
"My new mechanic...." What!! What!! 40 seconds later Phewww the Wizard lives!
Chevrolet Scottsdale 👎👎👎👎👎
I like this engine
Best video ever!!
Quit with the in video ads. Trust me you make enough on the youtube ads and most people like me just skip them and then give you a thumbs down.
keeps deez nuts
Electric cars will sure make life easier....
At a certain point, the answer is just LS swap.
LS Swap!
Engines need gaskets? They commonly fail on BMWs. Engines need coolant expansion tanks and radiators? They commonly fail on BMWs. New direct injection fuel pumps? They commonly fail on BMWs. Air bag sensors? They commonly fail on BMWs. Maybe BMW should stop making vehicles and start selling horses.
I love BMW but I do know they could need tons of maintenance but keep in mind that 760 has almost 160,000 miles so it’s gonna have issues
