I'm curious about the E46 key battery change. Will you make video of it? Thank you. 🙂
The e83, another underrated bmw chassis. I’ve seen some sick e83 builds AND you can find them with a manual
I definitely liked to see your process of inspecting the car. For those who are pretty new to wrenching, it's good to know what to look for while doing some other job. For example, I brought it to a shop to get a belt replaced, though it is very doable by myself. Just so that they could see something else that would need work soon. As it turns out, 'they' didn't aim for preventive maintenance and it's better to look for yourself. Then again – you have to know what to look for.
Hope you get the E46 sold soon. 6 grand is a bargain for a car in such a good shape. Prices for these cars have gone up here a lot lately, regardless of the condition.
looking forward for this project!
Get after it
Alec I look forward to learning new things on the newer BMW models! I am stuck in the e46 mode Lol.
You should pick up an E85 Z4 from 2003-2005 after this video. Most are driven as summer only cars and are only RWD and come with the 3.0i M54. My 2003 6 speed 3.0i Z4 is a lot of fun to drive
Hey man! I just wanna say 1 excited for the new project, 2, not all of the bmw ps systems are atf, some use CHF 11s which is a greenish brown color. But you definitely have some smoked power steering fluid.
Nice video and glad you got a new project to share with us!
I recommend SEM 15013 Landau Black for repainting the steering wheel plastics
330Xi's actually zoom around very nicely. M54s with AWD handle excellently, but they absolutely suck to work on.
Awesome vid! Really looking forward to see this resurrection. Always learned a lot from your repairs and ideas. Thanks.
Def a nice next project. It’s got a host of maintenance needs but nothing serious or catastrophic, esp for a DIYer.
Sad to hear the 330i sale fell through. Hold out and I think you’ll get your money easily. A clean and sorted 330 is getting hard to find. Not only has it had a bunch of deferred maintenance done, but you’ve tackled a lot of the cosmetics as well.
Another great video dude, keep that content coming btw you can’t beat an M54B30
p.s. file maintainance. Create folder. It can really come back to bite you if these get thrown into same pile.
Like the process. Glad it's m54. 4 wheel is a bit of a bear to work on. Like the new project car. If it's not an E46 at least it's an m54. Let's goooo! Watch'n
Malheureusement il n’y a pas de sous titrage en français je ne vais donc pas pouvoir regarder
Love your Videos and looking forward to the new project
Ayyyy new project! Can’t wait to see the content on this baby
