I bought a $50,000 electric BMW i3 for just $500 because the dealer said it wasn’t worth fixing.
The problem? A repair BMW claimed would take 13 hours and cost more than the car was worth.

Instead of dropping the drivetrain like the service manual says, I tried something else.

With a tight deadline, a risky shortcut, and a second “dead” BMW i3 as a backup plan, I had one goal:
Get both cars running, driving, and throwing zero warning lights, or lose a $5,000 bet.

This video takes you through:

Why BMW wrote this car off

The one sensor buried in the worst possible place

How a “parts car” turned out to be very alive

And why sometimes the fastest fix is the one you’re not supposed to do

No restorations.
No magic scan tools.
Just logic, pressure, and one very questionable drill decision.”
