Listed with vague "engine problems," most buyers stayed far away from this R56 Turbo. But after spotting a few high-end performance parts in the auction photos, I knew I had to take the risk. It turns out this $3,000 auction car was hiding over $11,000 in modifications, including a massive front-mount intercooler, upgraded turbo components, and high-end coil over suspension. The best part? The "catastrophic" engine issue that scared everyone else off only took about $40 and a few minutes to fix. In this video, we’re tearing into the mods, totaling up the build, and seeing if this is the biggest auction deal OR flip of the year.

The WORST thing, would be you're the previous owner of one of these cars that had "problems for years" before you give it up as a trade-in. And you watch Sam fix the problem THAT YOU CREATED... in 30 minutes. 😆😂🤣
You bought the brakes and got a free car! 🚙 😂
That thing is too clean to not just put a little time into it and have fun with it. Damn bro my stomach sunk when he said part it out.
the spirit airline joke took me out.
Hey that’s my old car! Glad to see it go to a good home. ✌️
Cheap mini STILL working fair play give it some love IT'S A SURVIVOR
When the parts cost more than the car 😂
N14 engine - timing chain, hpfp, valve stem seals and thermostat housing is never more then 10k miles away 😂
Previous owner didn't take the inserts out of the OEM valve cover and put them in the little holes in the middle of the after market valve cover. You can tell by the side by side picture. OEM valve cover has the inserts, the after market one doesn't

As long as I’ve been watching Sam this is the first time in one episode he completed a project. BRAVO
I bought one 8 months ago for $500, fix the fender bender, did a full service on engine, trans and suspension, now is one of my daily drivers, very quick, fun to drive.
I vote keep it, remove and apply a two part urethane clear coat to the CF parts, attend to other issues and get the $ worth out of the dress up parts for awhile.
The girlfriend and wife comparison was amazing! Thank you
That plastic Valve cover takes RTV on certain places and is bolted on a specific order according to the manual. I did what you did and just slapped one in and a few miles down the road started seeping oil everywhere. Find out the specific torque and order and you should be good for several thousand miles.
Make it look better and sell it. Keep it together!
Ooo, you got some car with your brakes
14:39 that was one wild life lesson 😅
I think you got a fair deal on it. I bought the 2009 clubman base from iaa in Indianapolis. Winning bid was $525 and $1172 after fees. After parts $2100. Transmission pan is why it was there. Repo driver jammed his boom under the car knocking a hole in the pan. So $100 for a new pan and Transmission fluid the car ran and drove. The rest of the parts money was from fixing previous owner damage. And routine maintenance.
Just keep it and enjoy it!
