Tyler Hoover. I enjoy his videos, though he should never buy BMWs. He loves to make content about buying the cheapest examples of cars. That doesn't fit well with BMW purchases, especially since he pays people to fix them. And he's admitted the formula isn't BMW friendly and that he makes those BMW videos for the views. I'll keep watching regardless, his channel is entertainment and not educational content.

He's replacing a seized Porsche Cayenne engine right now. Or "the ninja" is anyway. Curious to see what his total bill will be on that project but the new engine started up okay.

At any rate, try out Porsche, no reason to be married to X5 or BMW if you aren't happy owning it. I just get a chuckle when BMW gets a general raking over the coals.
