Hoovie buys an E36/8 M Coupe

Mani59 · 10-02-2020, 12:11 PM

Absolutely stunning machine

AntF32 · 10-02-2020, 12:21 PM

Literally just watching that - Don't see many clown shoes this side of the pond.

tdott · 10-02-2020, 12:43 PM

Odd reason to not shoot a video of it before.

NYBulldog · 10-02-2020, 03:15 PM

So weak.

Who is Hoovie and should I care?

jkoral · 10-08-2020, 07:01 PM

I've watched a number of his videos (although I'm not a subscriber, looks like he's over 1M now). Spotted the M Coupe in his garage a number of times, I was surprised he hadn't made a video yet.

He usually buys the cheapest version of a running unique/enthusiast car and takes it to Mr. Wizard to dump large sums to get it running well and (eventually) sells it. His videos are OK, I'm usually more interested in the video if I have interest in the car. He doesn't annoy me (too much).

Thanks

It's so funny how he always rags on old BMWs for their poor reliability (rightfully so), yet seems to own every old Bimmer in the book.

That's the magic of these cars. I wish they weren't such maintenance headaches.

Hoovie is weird.
Is that his "act"?

Exactly WTF is Hoovie? Lol.

Old BMWs aren't reliable. F him. I'll prove him wrong 6 ways to Sunday.

F32Fleet · 10-10-2020, 01:17 PM

Here's some of the work he had done. "Ninja" appears to be a great technician.

I have to get that 5' extension!

wdb · 10-11-2020, 12:44 PM

He tested a local (to him) guy's pair of clown shoes a couple of years ago. Didn't have a lot of nice things to say.

Love how the wizard rips him off, to the extent that he has made so much money off of him that he is going around buying a shit load of luxury items. Also its hilarious when the wizard admits on the videos that Hoovies cars are brining in the $$$$

Ninja, his prices are high too but he is also an amazing tech and super nice.

I haven't seen their published labir rates but from what I've heard via videos they seem reasonable compared to my area (Metro Atlanta).

stein_325i · 10-13-2020, 09:05 AM

I quite enjoy Hoovie, he's got his quirks like Doug Demuro but its fun to watch him buy cool yet POS junk cars

rather than copying every other YouTuber of buying a flashy new supercar or whatever.

MmmmmM2 · 10-13-2020, 12:25 PM

I remember these cars! Definitely a rare find!

What's so special about "Ninja"? He totally mishandled the driveshaft per BMW's repair instructions in that Hoovie clutch video. I've tried to find that extension and can't find it. Other than his extension, he didn't seem overly talented to me.

Ah really? I must have missed that. Both the ninja are making some dummies for every dollar they got and wizard loves telling his viewers how much he charges lol. Love it 🤣😂🤣😂

I barely have issues. Maybe not getting a model with major engine issues is a better way to buy a BMW lol.

You really think wizard rips him off? He just seems to charge the usual price of a indy.
