Man buys Temu upgraded BMW M240i and is stunned by how much he likes it

Would you buy a Temu BMW?

Given how affordable Temu merchandise can be, it’s not surprising that many of us may be a little skeptical of such a deal.

However, YouTuber Calvin Fehr saw some merit in the idea, especially since the car was built by another content creator.

So, the question is – can a BMW M240i modified with Temu parts even run?

Fehr shared the video of this epic purchase on his YouTube channel, Calvin’s Car Diary.

Of course, using Temu parts to rebuild cars isn’t new, like these guys who tried to convert a McLaren using the power of Temu, but it doesn’t always end well.

The BMW M2 itself has been modified by YouTuber Michael Terry, who runs the YouTube channel The OtherStuff.

Terry modified most of the car with parts sourced from Temu, with the notable exception of the engine.

This is a shame, given that it’s possible to build a running engine purely from Temu parts.

For example, he replaced the car’s rear lights for only £130 ($173), and the side mirrors for only £20 ($26) apiece.

In fact, he joked that the Temu BMW is ‘basically more Chinese than German’ at this point.

Terry also equipped the car’s interior with a dazzling starlight kit and ambient light strip, all from the Chinese online marketplace.

While this isn’t quite as fancy as the Rolls-Royce Phantom with a dragon-inspired starlight headliner, we are guessing that this is much cheaper.

But the highlight of the upgrade process was the the infotainment screen that was installed.

When Terry asked Fehr how much he thought the screen cost, the content creator was in a bit of a dilemma.

He eventually guessed £250 ($332), even though he claimed that he ‘cannot believe it’ if Terry got the screen for this amount.

And how much did it actually cost?

£130 ($172).

Fehr was bamboozled, and clearly impressed with how the upgrades were a great value for money.

After taking the Temu BMW for a quick test drive, the two eventually concluded on a sale price with a firm handshake: £12,000 ($19,940).

Does this tale have you convinced? Are you off to modify your own car with Temu parts?

Perhaps not, but it’s cool that it can be done.
