Because we looked after it. Sadly most people that own these drive them like shit, look after them like shit, and then they sell them. It was also built like a tank, one of the strongest built cars I’ve felt.

About 20 years ago BMW started using plastics for so many of their parts. The plastics break up and weaken over time. They used to be relatively reliable until they decided to cut costs my swapping plastic parts in for everything they could get away with.

Most vehicle manufacturers have gone down this route, nothing is built to last nowadays, unlike decades ago. History proves that Japan studied other countries products and made them better basically, hence why many British motorcycle manufacturers went bust back in the day.

You skimp out on the quality of replacement parts, you don't do oil changes, you don't switch parts when they start breaking but wait until they fail completely and take other parts with them, then you got no right to blame the brand.

The same is said all around the world .
In a similar spirit, there is nothing more expensive than a cheap luxury car.
@@jlco I have one so you don't have to get one. loI got a W204 C230 Manual transmission.

Dont forget your oil, like most of them calculate „miles per oil“ instead Miles per gallon 😂

Also every older Audi xD. It’s just part of the routine at this point to pop the hood and do a oil check.
100% accurate. We’ve had our e46 330i since about 60k miles and always taken perfect care of it. Absolutely dumped money into it over and over, it eats $1000 in repairs every 6months to 1 year at minimum. And it’s still fucking broken in multiple ways 🤦🏻♂️ Shittiest quality car I’ve ever owned
Literally a money pit😭 luckily I fixed and replaced lots of parts with new OEM parts and the car has been great lately. Best of luck with yours man!
Meanwhile, our Ford explorer is close to a decade old, and hasn't had a single issue or part replaced. It's sad that so many people bash affordable mainstream brands and criticize them over everything, but those same people say they want a Range Rover.
@@themidnighttavern6784 yeah owning this BMW has totally broken my illusion with luxury cars. My 2008 civic SI was a better car in every single way than the e46. That being said I’m still never selling it 😂
@@giolascala7 thanks man, it’s doing alright now I guess. Still plenty of issues, but I have a daily now too so I don’t hate the e46 as much since I only drive it sometimes. Heat is broken lately which is just a fun new problem
A car is like a woman the way you sound you did not treat her right and probably abused her
Bro that little poke at the coolant floaty is too relatable 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😭😭😂😂
3 year with my e46 300km from 1998 and runs everyday without any problem. You can't destroy a M52.
So sick!!

@@woccaflocka4147 nah, dropping it out of a helicopter will do it for sure. After you put a pallet of cinder blocks in the back and off-road with them, slam the door a thousand times, pull ten tons on a gooseneck and reverse up an extreme off-road course in Colorado before driving five miles back with no coolant.
Buying a used BMW is like playing Russian roulette
Lol i buy and flip... today i bought my first bmw as a flip 🪦
If you get it checked out its ok
As a driver of a 205k 2004 e46 I can confirm you forgot a couple things: fill up 3 other fluids, accidentally pop the grill out, pop the under-headlight trim out by closing the hood, and as others have mentioned you are missing a pedal my friend
I still drive my E36 from 1994 and have had no problems so far ...
Nice dude! My brother has a 98 e36 328i and it’s a great car!

@@Imperial_XT The original song is Money so big by yeat. This beat is some remix
And here I am, still driving my manual e46 wagon. Sometimes it's less to do with the car and more to do with maintenance.
Nice bro!! Yeah I definitely agree with you. the previous owner didn’t take the best care of this car but now that I own it, it’s going uphill!
It’s a difference between “an old BMW” and a wreck 😂
Nahh😂 I’m fixing it
+ Money for a K&N chinease replica intake for 0 gains but looks cool? - Money printer go vrrrrr 😁 + Money to replace a water pump? - Ohhhh money printer broke ☹️

Why the battery bro?😂

Hahah actually 166k miles and I have no lights on! I’ve been taking care of it
BMW: Broken, Maybe Wrecked.
😂😂😂😂I love this one
Bought my e46 a year ago, put 4k miles on it and it’s been solid apart from running over a curb and never replaced regulators. I live in Washington, soon as it started raining two windows fell down 😅
Oh no man😭😭😂
“Its been 50 miles? Need an oil change”
😂😂
If you can’t afford to buy a new BMW, you can’t afford to buy a used BMW.
Thats just dumb, new bmw is full of electronics and other shit, plus higher payments for service for first years meanwhile e46 can be fixed with fkin hammer
As a 19 year old, yeah I can’t buy a new one. But I can maintain and fix this one myself haha. Currently running perfectly with no problems! (Let’s see how long this lasts😂)
That’s such a myth, a new bmw costs like 30k. You can get an old one for 7-10k and only put like 1-2k per year in repairs.
$$$$
. Good luck.. New Radiator is ok do able... Water pump three times... Is insane
Leave it to Americans to be surprised that a 25 year old car might have some issues every now and then. That being said with the e46 its not even those issues aren't even that bad. Good luck finding a 25 year old American car that holds up as well as the e46.
About 20 years ago BMW started using plastics for so many of their parts. The plastics break up and weaken over time. They used to be relatively reliable until they decided to cut costs my swapping plastic parts in for everything they could get away with.
Yes very true. Plastic and rubber!
Most vehicle manufacturers have gone down this route, nothing is built to last nowadays, unlike decades ago. History proves that Japan studied other countries products and made them better basically, hence why many British motorcycle manufacturers went bust back in the day. I still have and ride a 40 year old Yamaha myself.
My man putting water in the radiator hell naw 💀💀
I saw that shit and had to see if someone else noticed
Distilled water bro😂 the e46 takes a 50/50 mix of distilled water and coolant so it’s okay to add some water
Ironically that era was about the time when BMW STOPPED making good products.
😔
"old" - gets into a facelifted e46
So it is old. More than 15 years, cmon. Even 10yo card is pretty old.
@@Bruh-xi6su Probably because it's the stuff I grew up around in the late 2000s-early 2010s but I for some reason don't think anything ~1990 and newer is "old"

Jesus. If an E46 is old it means I'm getting old.
😂😂 not tooooo old
Literally came here to make this comment! 😅 Guess that’s what e30 owners thought when I bought my e36 😂
It’s like 24-17 years old now lol
It almost old enough to get driving license forsore
It could get it license 2 years ago! Now it can vote!!😂
When owning a BMW is itself an expectation: 💀

PROPER maintenance is paramount. None of my BMW's have ever let me down. Nuf said.
Well, with those old BMWs my experience is: Everything brakes except the things you need to move. So, even when the car has technical difficulties, you can somehow make it - or you can improvise some repairs that can carry you to the next workshop, or 4,000 km away to Istanbul.
This is very true😂😂
Truth mine breaks stupid stuff but as long as coolant and oil are topped off it will keep on going
The headlight flickers is accurate af
You say you have an old Beamer I don’t even have automatic lights on my e46😂. Still love mine even tho it hurts my everything when I have to fix it. Currently my Vanos is going so that’s that’s my mood. 😢
Yo we do it bc we love it. Bmws are the best.
Imagine a96 740iL E38....you make a heart atack when you hear the fault beep
@@TheRazvy1990 😀😀dying bro
For what it's worth, my E90 doesn't have auto lights either haha
i feel you bro, 116i E87
You need an older BMW from the 80s that still had metal parts and not plastic under the hood for almost everything.
I’d love that!!
Among car guys I know here in the States, being unreliable and expensive plus a pain to fix is the expectation
😂😂true but they are so fun to drive when they aren’t down
I’m from Germany and people say when you buy something cheap you will need to buy it twice. It sounds so good to buy a cheap old machine but owning it is actually a lot more expensive
They don’t even know😭😂
Atleast you have a bmw
Yo man make a goal and work until you get it!!!! You can do it brother😎❤️
320i 2005, 200k km still perfect. Grown old kid, maintenance is key.
Hell yeah bro! Keep it up!
You need a new Thermostat housing, mine had the same problem.It leaked coolant. The thermostat housing is made of plastic, with time and temperature changes , the plastic, loses its properties and becomes rigid and breakable.
The fucking hood release coming off got me 😂😂
Bro honestly😭😭
And it’s not even a joke that literally happened to me. For a few weeks I had to resort to pulling the hood latch wire manually with a screwdriver!!
I have a 250k mile Mercedes B-class. Very well taken care of. Stood for a month. Got in, sth like -5C, waited for glow plugs to do their thing and turned the key. Fired up in one crank. No smoke. That's what you call regular and preventative maintenance.
Nice man! I’m working on getting this car up to perfect!!
My ass trying to keep a straight face when my e46 gives 2 new warning lights
Bro forgot about the leaking oil under his car
My bad man that’s a puddle too😂
Bruh same I gotta keep checking that coolant since one of the hose leaks 😂
Idiot identified. Just fix the leak you moron
That's not old, old is E21, E30
Old is anything over 10 years old for a car
@@carz4lifee2567 in my language old is 30+ yo
I regret with every fibre of my being selling my E21 323i. Mechanically perfect, no rust, excellent factory paint (dark blue), 5sp manual, even the air conditioning worked! But the interior needed work and I was young and stupid and thought I'd just 'update to a newer car'. Tried looking for another one a couple of years back and the prices are unbelievable :(
BMW owners: "Maintenance is the key" Also BMW owners: **spending every other weekend in the garage trying to maintain their CarMax special.** Toyota, Subaru, Mazda, & Honda Drivers: **vroooooom**
HAHAHA
For an old car the engine compartment was really clean!
Thank you I try to clean her up
Because they had to install a new motor
Owning a old bmw You must be a certified mechanic And you good to go
Pretty much😂
There are two types of BMW owners: kids/men acting like kids who can't figure out how to do basic maintenance and drive around with blinged out beaten out shoddy falling apart BMWs with ugly aftermarket "upgrades" and then there are those people who just enjoy a good car and never have any problems because they take care of what they own. You skimp out on the quality of replacement parts, you don't do oil changes, you don't switch parts when they start breaking but wait until they fail completely and take other parts with them, then you got no right to blame the brand. Cars are only ever as reliable as they are treated.
"you don't switch parts when they start breaking" yeah, they're not supposed to break.
Preach!
Not disagreeing, your right I do agree that the average person doesn’t know how to take care of their care and doesn’t bother to and it definitely causes a lot of issues that shouldn’t happen in the first place… BUT the fact of the matter is old beamer’s are a good bit more likely to have issues in the first place compared to other brands like Toyota or Honda. Yes BMW’s require more maintenance than other brands to be reliable, but that’s the thing.. they require stricter maintenance… therefore they are more expensive to own still
It’s the kidney grille flopping out of place when you open the hood for me. When I installed my black eBay ones I dealt with that EVERY TIME I opened the hood 😂
Bmw= bring more water Bmw= bring my wallet! Still one of the best cars ever though! Miss my 325xi

@@airrejp😂😂
Ain't gonna lie. I was like that for 3 months. Just until recently did I fixed this problem. Like yesterday literally.
There's a reason why you don't see old BMWs or Mercedes on the road. They break down and cost more to repair than their worth.
But when you fix them they’re the best cars to drive!
nope, see them often, do you see any 90's asian cars left? nope the pr's have those junk yard civics, but those do not count as they are dug up.
Don't know where you live, but in germany 90s and 00s Mercedes and BMW are absolutely usual cars that you see a lot on the road everyday
@@sergeant_cross_ I live in the US. I'm aware that in Europe German cars are better made, and the labour to fix them is cheap.
My old 240k M52B25 only needed oil or water once a year. The engine never failed, even on the racetrack.
