16:57 *starts raining* continues working and even casually just lays on the ground to work underneath 🤣👏🏽 bravo sir, you’re a trooper

[@DalyDriverTV]

Always!

[@CarCustodian]

Working in the rain on your back, like a G!

[@Bryx]

How convenient for this to pop up for me. I just recently purchased my 1999 323i! Thank you for putting all the parts in the description as well.

[@DalyDriverTV]

Awesome, the algorithm working it's magic. Good luck on the work!

[@pixelll]

This is very impressive, you made this look like an absolute breeze to replace! Truly feels like a daunting task for my 323 but you have given me confidence!

[@DalyDriverTV]

Thanks, the magic of editing haha, felt like stuff kept breaking with the shroud then the engine mount and its sheared bolt.

Mercedes c230 1990-994 coolant tank 35$ new

[@mnb123240]

coolant tank mounted behind pass side shock tower on 92 and 94 325 ,behind drivers side headlight on 97 328

[@yes-gs2rd]

@@mnb123240 Don't use mishimoto, use csf or koyo or z3m radiators. You need to run a 4cyl temp switch and thermostat alongside an electric fan setup or use e36 euro diesel fan with e34 clutch if you want to run clutch fan. No fan is not enough cooling unless you only drive car from a to b or live in cold climate. It will overheat if you plan on driving hard or in hotter climate. You also definitely need to bleed the coolant system.

[@anaqi_hakimi]

Yo this is amazing

[@TheNikolius]

What a great name 👏😄🇬🇧

[@7beast298]

Best upgrade I did to my e36 was swapping to a 1997 528i aluminum thermostat housing which has a bleeder screw aswell.

[@DalyDriverTV]

ooh, that sounds good I would have thrown that in too had I known thanks for adding to the discussion!

[@7beast298]

@DalyDriverTV yes sir also on the upper radiator hose just use the 97 528i upper radiator hose

[@ARNYKATZ]

I'm surprised that you didn't install a Mishimoto radiator -- all aluminum and larger capacity.

[@DalyDriverTV]

I know, I like stocky stock on this build will probably try stock class autox, also the z3m rad was pretty cheap

[@marcokalion7293]

You have awesome patience man there is always some shit with this car ... love it but its a pain in the ass to diagnose... all the damn parts are just all jammed together.. lets not even talk about the interior !

[@DalyDriverTV]

Thanks man! Funny you say that I have a bunch of popular interior videos and am currently working on door cards. It's like plastic model building, crazy.

[@marcokalion7293]

@DalyDriverTV yes absolutely just like model plastic extra cheap ! Lol so fragile... I mean the cars are old so it is what it is.. I will be tuneing in great video!

[@ewdandan99]

I was looking into getting an E36 how doable do you think most of the mechanical work is for someone who doesnt know much about bmws?

[@DalyDriverTV]

I wasn't a BMW guy before I got this, my first car I learned a bunch on is a Jeep XJ which you can also see a lot of on this channel. I chose it based on check boxes of no turbos, no awd, manual, no convertible. I was also looking at a purple 95 Mustang coupe and a Celica GT-S. I'm really glad I landed with the red e36, the m52 has a timing chain so no timing belts, the worst part is the cooling system. The canister style pump design with an o-ring is actually really easy to service. it's super common worldwide, it's probably the most common pre e46 bmw that makes it easier too with more guides and cheaper parts.

[@Brayan-dn2zq]

Man i wish i had all that space and the money 😔

[@DalyDriverTV]

It's easy, just live with your parents into your 30s and spend zero money on anything else haha

[@Brayan-dn2zq]

@@DalyDriverTV I live with my parents just college is killing me 😔

[@yes-gs2rd]

The real achilles heel of the e36 is the subframe mounts and shock towers made out of paper mache.

[@DalyDriverTV]

I was so happy to peel back the trunk carpet on my 98 to see the giant reinforcement plates welded on from factory, front has em too

[@yes-gs2rd]

@@DalyDriverTV Not too sure about the reinforcement plates being anything from the factory as far as I'm aware but hey as long as it's reinforced that's great haha.

[@julianxxcheese]

All fun and games till you find out your heater matrix is leaking 😢

[@DalyDriverTV]

right, or the seals on the firewall outlet haha
