I Bought a $50,000 Electric BMW for $500 Because the Dealer Said It Wasn’t Worth Fixing

Exclusive $35-off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/RICHREBUILDS. Promo Code RICHREBUILDS: I found a $50,000 BMW i3 that the dealer told the owner to scrap. They said it wasn’t worth fixing… so I bought it for $500 and dragged it into the shop to see if that was true. This is one of the strangest EVs ever made, a carbon fiber electric BMW with a tiny range extender engine, weird cooling systems, and electronics that love to fail. The car wouldn’t charge, wouldn’t heat, and wouldn’t drive… but I had a feeling the dealer might’ve given up a little too quickly. In today’s video, we dig into the problems, look at the previous diagnosis, chase faults, and see if this “dead” BMW was actually worth saving. If you like these dead EV rescues, let me know, I might grab even more forgotten electric cars before they’re gone for good For sponsorship inquiries contact us here - [email protected] For other EV issues/questions - [email protected] My E-mail: [email protected] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richiebkidd/ Mailbox: Rich Rebuilds P.O.
