Summary

TLDRThe video shows a used car dealer inspecting two BMW 5 series diesel sedans in the $10,000 price range to assess their condition before purchase. He test drives them and thoroughly checks areas like the engine bay and undercarriage. He points out worn parts needing replacement and fluids not maintained. Though no major issues are found, he cannot recommend either car due to lack of proper maintenance. But notes that if one just wants an affordable, problem-free used 5 series, these could be options with some maintenance investment.
