same thing with the Benz E-class ! I guess he makes a difference between high-maintenance cost and low-repair cost reliable. German money-pits are designed to just eat parts unlike Lexus that eat miles

I had two 550’s both 2013 and a 2016 with complete engine rebuilds at under 35,000 miles.

@@adamy3834 that's normal for a 550! LOL. We are all trained to pay attention to what we like: "The newer Benz are better" - Yes, indeed, better as falling apart right after the warranty. Some of the 40+ modules are hardly working from factory (recurring hard DTC Faults)

He's always been a BMW fanboy.

Scotty Kilmer would agree with you

Opp X I’m sure they are like “wtf is this guy doing”

Loll

Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do? Lol

Best comment lol

🤣🤣🤣

YOU DA REAL MVP

He must not of had access to the actual reliable brands on that street lol.

Great info! Must say had Gs 350 had way more problems then bmw Also. Performance bmw way more superior pleasure to drive 340 I.

The Lexus ES uses the same chassis as the Avalon, Camry, Highlander, RX Series, etc

Lol, true enough. Time to move on and maybe enjoy the fruits of modern performance. Cheers

😁

Or a Lexus

I just came from some Scotty vids lol

😂🤭 Funny!

I stopped watching him. Let me save you hours of watching him, just buy a Toyota everything else sucks. Scotty Toyota Kilmer .

curt olson you stopped watching him bc he only speaks truth? This nigga says BMW 3-series is reliable lol my gf has a 2017 BMW 335i and that shit is in the shop more often than she is at the nail salon, and that's often. Gtfoh 😂

😂

Scotty is a very colourful guy, not an auto engineer, just a mechanic who doesn’t like complicated engineering, just the grass skirt type.

😂 Nailed it...

Jeff Brisson my BMW engine cheking light is broken. Dealer want 5000 usd to fix LoL

Khanh Tran 5000 that’s way too much

Idk about Mercedes Audi and bmw I agree I own a bmw 2001 530i and a 2012 Mercedes ml 350 and so far my bmw has had some issues but my Mercedes is going strong with 170,000 miles and only annual service and spark-plug changes, some people think a German machine is a car u can wait a while to service, service it on time and it will work just as well as old gen infinities and Lexus cars.

VW is a big headache too

I’ve heard the new cls is suppose to be very reliable. Anyone have insight. As I’m looking to purchase

MrMohades what you mean by maintain. ? Oil filters ?

@@aymenem5304 the hole car

Yes, maintain a money balance of thousands every time those plastic parts or sensor broke on a BMW.

I totally agree, people complain about their cars breaking down, then you find out they were last serviced 40,000 miles ago. lol

Lots of money to fix and maintain money drainers.

Not all true. Most keyboard kids are too young to know that 80s and 90s Mercedes rivalled Toyota in reliability. The most reliable cars ever made are early 90s Lexus/Toyotas, early 90s Mercedes or early 90s Volvo. The difference is that Toyota kept making reliable cars and Volvo went to Ford. Also BMW never came close to MB's reliability. They shouldn't be named in the same sentence. VAG especially fucked up with the first couple of generations DSG's.

@@JDYTC Well, I'm no "kid" and had 2 new M-Bs from that era and they were very unreliable. Both had many major mechanical and electrical failures, left me stranded, etc. Even the dealer's loaner suddenly died on a freeway! Yes, both had superb maintenance. Those good old days certainly weren't. Knew the service manage pretty well and asked whether others had similar problems. He took me to the shop where many cars were waiting for repairs identical to mine. Switched to Lexus and I'll never have another German piece of trash again.

21 years now with my LS400 and I'll never part with it. As close to perfection as a car can be.

This guy is fake, paid to promote bmw and mb. I’ll trust a mechanic Scotty Kilmer over a car salesman.

@@igangtropic you said it

It depends how you maintain them. I have 14 years old Benz which is still my daily driver . Still everything is original and works except brakes and battery .

@@dnfwme My neighbor just replaced the battery in his 2009 SLK a few months ago.I have never heard of an original lasting so long.He is in now for a state inspection and his CEL is on.Just over 50000 miles on it as it is his toy.

Still great Bmw owner

BMW 3 series are reliable ? You must be kidding!!!

E Meyer my 2006 525xi is at 160k miles and I have had 0 problems with it the only thing I’ve replaced were the break pads Idk what ur talking about

Nice

Fax.

When it's time for a service they change the oils and filters that's not going to stop it breaking lol So usually don't change the fuel filter on the diesel even though you pay for it

I agree 💯

If you do have a problem with the BMW, the service and parts will cost twice as much as the Lexus.

No mention of Acura? 🤷‍♂️

He is using lists of first 3 years a useless list if you are buying used

You’re absolutely right_ thank you for calling him out. He’s all over the map when it comes to his picks for good reliability. He needs to be in the UNRELIABLE group of UKpostsRS who judge their top picks for positive reviews based on who’s paying him an endorsement… does he think we’re unwise? I don’t know what their pitting in the Canada water, but he needs to get out of the space and join the band of ass kissers, he’ll find the people there he can pucker up to..

Lexus is the God of reliability.

150k really isn't much tbh

This guy doesn’t care about or know anything about cars , he wanted to make a youtube channel and just picked cars as the main subject , and just talks out of his ass for a few minutes and makes a few thousand bucks

RR METALBOX you had arguably the most unreliable bmw 3 series possible buddy. Not to mention that the e93 specifically is hard as hell to sell lol. The f series is a lot better, specifically the f30.

Yemi What model year though?

@@armandol1826 especially if he had the 335 version, that engine was ass.

Same here I was utterly disappointed with my experience with a 3 series Bmw..it was in the shop literally every week. Traded it in for a lexus. It was a nice looking car . But now I see that A holes seem to gravitate towards bmws

@@notnot5996 definitely. The newer model engine is better though

I had a 2010 E 350 since day one. Just gave it to a good friend with 196548 miles on it. Still look new and run great. I replaced the E class with the 540I. hoping it will be the same as the E class.

Good stuff, a little care goes a long way. Cheers

Orjiekwe Chukwunyere that’s it? Nothing more? What year, what model?

Wtf do you think ofc its gonna be trouble free at those miles. In my country anything below 200k miles is considered low miles

That's a good question. I like BMW'S but i do not believe right now you can drive a BMW right up to 200000 miles as easy as a Lexus. I still believe that up to 200000 miles it is still easier to achieve in an Acura than a German car. I could be wrong, but we have to see.

@@ajevthetruthisthetruthnotc8390 to me it's the vital "existential" question as I cannot ever hope to buy new in Australia. I appreciate that engine longevity got a lot harder with high performance turbo engines. But Kia's Stinger GT can manage a 7year warranty.

Good question

look, it's *reliable* once the high-maintenance is done. Nothing else falls off... promised 😂

@@glasser2819 ok - reliable as the day is long. 😁

The IS350 is actually the better buy than the 250. More power, and more reliable than the 250.

That’s probably due to maintance , if they are on lease u have to maintain it to keep the warranty , once the warranty runs out people stop spending money on them . But they are reliable , trust me , I use mine as a mini cab , and Toyota use a bmw engine so it can’t be that bad

The claim is that BMW have substantially improved their quality control in manufacture in recent years. Well surely it's a bit too soon to say they have got it sorted? Also engine oil turned out to be an issue after they extended service intervals combined with turbos (that highly heat stress engine oil) becoming commonplace. That had many bad effects, like on cam chains for example and engine life in general. I think it is quite telling that in Germany, Castrol make a special (& premium) oil for BMW that Castrol do not make available elsewhere -it is a 100% Type IV PAO based oil. In Australia the head of BMW Service (for Australia) stated to me that longer service intervals are for only under "ideal" use conditions and he personally recommended the traditional change intervals (15k km max) with turbo engines. He specifically stated the 1 year service interval, meant people forget to lift the bonnet occasionally and relied entirely on the digital onscreen reminders & warnings. But while under warranty the service intervals are still annual, not 6 monthly - unless you go the extended warranty then you are obligated to bring it in six monthly, .....ahem, cough.

@footballcoreano ok, but in Australia normal working class person can only afford them after they have depreciated through the lease cycle. US price depreciation is heavier than in Australia and our new prices are double yours in affordability terms. An operating lease of a new 3 series in the USA might be USD $100/week, for the same car here it would be Aud$270+/week.

Jesse EXACTLY! It’s a fake sense of confidence. Not designed to last. Best to stick with Lexus.

Katie That bmw engine was sent back to Germany several times because it didn’t meet Toyota’s high standards for reliability. Toyota had to test and re-test and demand bmw get it right on several occasions. U should watch the documentary that talks about it.

Jesus Christ...you are so so so right.

proper term is "Endless Money Pits"

wayne wicks Yeah he’s lying or misinformed other than Lexus They are all piles of junk

wayne wicks lol true! I see my neighbors buying these used German cars after about 2yrs it’s sitting in the drive way collecting dust for the next 4-5yrs because they couldn’t afford to get them fixed. But they look good sitting in the drive way I guess!

exactly!

You are very welcome

Yes

👆🏼👆🏼...........what he said

I've had 2 Mercedes, the 2010 C class I had from new was unstoppable. nearly 200,000 miles in 5 years and didn't't put a beat wrong. Current CLA is proving equally reliable. It now needs a change a its getting a bit old now. I don't know what to change to. Perhaps another Shooting Brake.

@@MaximilianvonPinneberg Get an S Class AMG

@@rufus5208 haha, not practical and no 4 wheel drive option. (at least not in uk). But I would love one.

yeah, really; you cannot talk about reliability before 100, 000 miles.

footballcoreano You seem to have an unjustified bent against Japanese cars. Is the recent trade war with Korea ticking your nationalist sentiments? 😉

footballcoreano Riiiiiiiiiiiiightttttttt 😂 Care to find us a study that shows Lexus is bottom barrel in reliability like you say? Every agencies’ reports are showing Lexus near the top. So what’s your excuse now? Come back with a study that says Lexus is bottom barrel in reliability and BMW is at the top.

You are very welcome

be aware that some, as BMW and I think Benz are set so if something needs replacement, you must replace ALL of them. not cost effective.

totally agree J.B. I fell for consumer reports high reliability rating on the A6 about 10 yrs ago. It was a disaster. As you said, at the 3 or 4 yr mark the car was mechanically totaled. And i had everything done exactly on schedule or even more proactively. Name the major component and it was failing - tranny, check. steering rack , check. electrical, check. leaking and burning oil, check. Dumped it as fast as we could. Started by Toyota, Subaru, Honda, and never had a major issue since. I no longer have to worry about owning my cars out of warranty. Hell, i can buy them out of warranty!

They are fun are and sound great too,

I have a 2014 BMW 540i bought it new in 2014 and it has 150k miles and not a single problem

@@narcisbaralija Nice anecdote

@@carguyns4348 thx

An Acura says hello... Acura are a very reliable luxury car

Hi JB. I drive a 2009 A6 with the 3L TFSI engine. It uses about 5mm of oil on the dipstick between change intervals of 8,000kms. The oil used is the recommended German made Liqui Moly 5w-40.

@@zenden6564 Well I have a MINI S now so still figuring how much it consumes. Most Audi cars take up oil even when new. I can't imagine how much the R8 with a V10 consumes. LO

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

not so much since Daimler sold off chrysler. the C and E class do well, but the S class does seem to have some issues

Stoney Tanner 💩

I disagree. Have a C class I have had since 2010 and it has never failed to bring me home

Haha, that’s somewhat true, or Kia’s .

Consumer reports. So its by the owners, not by the bi-standards making uneducated comments such as yours.

@@omb5722 lol. Oh yes, one of those, facts aren't real guys eh. I'm not saying BMW is or isn't reliable in one way or the other. Its varies from year to year, and model to model. Same can be said with Toyota. They've had their very realiable models certain years, and other suffered from some issue just the same.

jusbus777 it depends what the vehicle is used for! If u use them for chicken coops they will be damn reliable! But to ride them on the highway ... not so much

@@omb5722 Yes,...... Right...... And the boogie man is going to get you while you're asleep too. Get real.. I have actually living breathing friends that own a BMW model, both of different years, and they use them for travel, and have had literally 0 major issues with them. And consumer reports has been around for decades, sooooooo they must be a reliable source to succeed for this long, and has never failed me and anyone else I know either.

jdawg9481 let’s just agree to disagree then

That’s the same thing i was thinking . I guess the difference is reliability vs depreciation value .. idk 🤷🏾‍♂️

Super ugly but still good with reliability

Thanks a lot for watching

Yeah the words ''BMW'' and ''reliability'' shouldn't be used in the same sentence... Ever... Especially the newer F and G line of 3 series and ESPECIALLY 5 series, which are VERY WELL KNOWN here in Europe as ''endless money pits.'' But if you absolutely want a sports sedan, then A MUCH better and a MUCH more reliable alternative would be getting the B9/B9.5 Audi A4 Quattro with the 2.0L engine. Audi transmission and 4WD system on B9/B9.5 A4 models will never break and will never fail, the amount of reported repairs regarding these is less than 2%, you'd have the be the unluckiest person ever to have it fail on you. Also, if you absolutely want reliability and nothing else from your car, then you quite literally have no other choice, other than to get a Toyota, Lexus or Suzuki, especially if we're talking about newer cars. My brother re-sells used cars and owns a pretty large car repair shop chain and the only cars he NEVER has issues with are Lexus' and Toyotas. Also, one of my dads friends just had air suspensions fail while driving on his Porsche and he had $8K in damage on top of $9K for the air suspension and the entire thing cost him $19K to repair... You can buy a new car for that kind of money... Oh and that's $19K with buying a USED PARTS air suspension... Yeah...

It is a bummer that they do not focus more on dependability

I believe they are getting better and the stats have shown this. Its to large and obscure cars or high performance machines that risk the reliability crown.

Football What an INSANELY STUPID comment.

My 2009 BMW 3 series has 286,000 km and the engine is running like a clock. Smooth as silk and hugs the road like glue, only thing I've done is use good synthetic oil and premium gas. I've had couple of light bulbs burn but that's about it. It's a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder. Love the car drives amazing

393k miles not kilometers on a E-Class Mercedes. 240 K on a Audi A-6. German cars are often bought by second and third owners who buy them for their perception of success. They spend all their money trying to impress people but they don't have enough to pay for upkeep.

They are getting better to compete.

True

yeah that's because you don't even drive the car

stev Bulunmaz naw I drive it 5 days a week putting on at least 400 miles - 600
