ITS HAPPENING AGAIN!
A new giveaway series has begun!
I was going to wait until we hit 100K subscribers to save up the funds for another one but then Gerardo came outta nowhere and offered me this incredible opportunity. If you didnt see the video last year, I restored a BMW and gave it away to a random subscriber for free. Well heres round 2, but even better! Were going to break this down into a bit by bit series and show you the entire process, so if you win the car, you got to see the transformation!
Its thanks to viewers like you and Gerardo that I get to do this, so thanks for watching and thanks for the support!
I hope you enjoy the series 🙂

That ML has arguably the most reliable and easiest to wrench on drivetrain in Benz history.
M113 V8 is the foundation for the M113k found in the legendary W211 E55 & all "55" badged cars of its day. An actual child (with instruction) could sort out an M113.
All those 5G gearboxs have conductor plate failure, electronically leak trans fluid into the connector for the valve body, or both. This is before these units needed to be programmed to the car & VIN matched. Drain fluid, drop pan, swap unit, fill, live life. Guaranteed what his issue is. Electrical connectors are cheap also & an easy swap. Those gearboxes can take 1000 NM (or thereabouts) of torque from factory.
My first car was a 2002 E46 325ci vert in steel blue. It had 170k miles. I loved it. A year ago, I found a 2006 E46 330ci ZSP sport pack with 140k miles in a super rare color, Sonoran Desert Metallic, with the natural brown interior. It needed a TON of work.
Oil pan gasket, radiator fan, spark plugs, DISA, control arm bushings, wheel bearings, endlinks, struts and shocks all around, even more. I never made any money, but it made me feel good.
Great content and love the series!
Seems like he flips them
Are the air flow meter, crankshaft sensor, and valve timing sensor stock or from a cheap online store? These cars have problems with the aforementioned replacement parts. Checking the oil pressure is essential. =) Edit: talking about 325CI. If you are looking for a fresh ECU remapping with pop and bangs, rpm increase, fire on the exhaust to cook some food, just say it.
Very excited to see another e46 project! ESP a giveaway and it’s stahlgrau same as my 330ci.
This thing is cleannn!
