GOING FOR BROKE: Restoring A BMW & Giving It Away

GOING FOR BROKE: Restoring A BMW & Giving It Away

Thanks for checking out my video. My name is Alec and welcome to Day Off DIY! Ive been working for months on this big reveal, and I can’t wait to share it with ya.

What do we get into? You’ll have to watch and see. During the video I will tell you exactly how you can win this beautiful BMW that I fixed up because…
In this video I buy a beat up BMW and restore it on a budget, just to give it to a viewer for free!
Yes, actually free, 0 dollars, zero purchase required, unlike other giveaways now a days.

I take a neglected and beat up 2006 BMW 325i with 126k miles, and fully restore it.
We restore the headlights, gut and detail the interior, extract the carpet and scrub all the plastics and leathers, we fix every oil leak including the oil filter housing, the oil pan gasket, we replace the engine mounts, control arms, the belt, tensioner, and idler pulley. We repaint the hood and polish all of the paint, with clay bar and wax. I flush every single fluid, we do a transmission service, a power steering flush with new reservoir, a brake fluid flush, an oil service with an engine flush, a drain and fill on the cooling system, and a drain and fill on the rear differential! I fixed everything I could find on this N52, and she is running amazing. I can’t wait to drive her cross country and give her to the lucky winner. I hope you enjoy this build! 🙂

These cars with the N52 engines are true gems. Can’t beat the craftsmanship and reliability. Not a fan when they went to 4 cylinder turbo.
