BMW E46 How To Replace a Fender DIY

[@algorithmscollide8489]

Good information on the e46 your videos are a blessing.

[@robear0135]

You mentioned the alignment levelness? with the hood. However I can see you have missing the adjustable rubber bump stop for the hood on the cross member. If that was there that would bring the hood up slightly and be level.. Wouldn't it? Great video as always.

[@PlymitBoy]

I think you're right

[@davewells6325]

I also agree. Was the same on mine. Just gotta give it a little twiddle to adjust the height

[@charliehustle5312]

exactly what i was thinking.

[@jasonking8812]

50skid your missing the rubber bumper to bring the hood up on that side

[@MANNYBASSFISHING]

I'll had my 330xi for a couple of years abd you sir have saved me so much money..thanks happy new year..🙌

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

At least you tried Jason :) I'm not sure if it makes any difference to the hood alignment issue you're having but you're missing the rubber cushion just above the headlight. If you have the one for the other side maybe swap it and see if it makes a difference.

[@50sKid]

+Niamh Healy the hood is actually bent. I didn’t realize I didn’t get a good shot of it until I was editing

[@GeorgeAusters]

So why did you need to remove the bumper and headlight? lol

[@Dicer328]

Good video as always. Those lenses need to be wet sanded to 800, cleared, and then wet sanded all the way to 5000 grit. Will make the car look ten times better.

[@beyondrepair8949]

That was a good time to take the lenses to the workbech and buff them out.

[@50sKid]

Yeah it will get done

[@charliehustle5312]

just replace them with new ones. wish i could replace them as easily on my e90 as my e46.

I have a question I see a wire dangling in your video that I like to know what it goes connected to, the cut wire with now end connector i have come s off or its part in the chain of the the fog light and the horn wire (which are fine then I have that one one its dark green with black and light green with either white or light yellow but I need help trying to find what it goes to my car is a 2000 323i and the wire is on the front passenger side in your video I see the wire I am talking about at 5:15 ( i am assuming that wire has the fog light/horn/and my wire that is cut with no end connector ( I sent you email then realized you have to many to read and respond to , so you suggested to post question so all could learn

[@UK300Prodrive]

What ratchet gun you using mate ? Great video as always !

[@theaveryproject6834]

nice lol my fenders are the next parts to get stripped down and reprimed keep up the good work

[@jaredmiller8370]

Did you come across a 2 rectangular metal pieces with a "u" cut out when you removed your fender panel? I removed mine years ago and can't remember where it attaches.

[@rapidthunder5700]

I love your videos man! Quick question, Do you think I can fit a fender from a 325i sedan to a 330i sedan? both e46 I want to order some headlights but only the fenders to the 325i fit

[@baba3styler]

My E46 04 too have a bad alignment too where the fender will be higher than the hood in the middle section. Changed 3 different hoods and 1 fender, still the bad alignment stays the same xD

[@mike.135i]

what are you going to do once everything is fixed? Gonna start modding it?

[@50sKid]

sell it

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

Must be nice to work outside and not have your camera freeze up after 5 min lol

[@50sKid]

ha, well you have a space you can heat now ;-)

[@NathansBMWWorkshop]

No insulation or garage door yet, but the forecast has us in the 50's this week so hopefully I can finish it up this week

[@kurtlyons136]

Why don't the two of you start selling BMW service/repair franchises in all 50 states?

[@mcgyverb1664]

Good job mr 50s.

[@duncanmil1]

When it was new that would have worked.. but after as many years, well it's all hand made!!

[@dantheman1337]

God damn thats an easier way to take out the lights than from above. Wish i had known that.

[@davewells6325]

Bumper rubber missing pal

[@Goliath2012Thai]

Many thanks.

[@juanmachado4109]

Yo, you really should feather out that primer on the hood more. Your gonna see that repair after you paint. Especially with it being black

[@samrmikhaeel3396]

Good job

[@igororlov769]

Hi Kid, this is your furst video I don’t like to watch, looks like you watch some KZbin and try to make something, and go to replace or pull front right of the hood with hook and strap and pound those line, your can noticed close to the middle with something flat together with pulling and then patch it, that can be a nice next video!)

[@inktensive1584]
