Cutting Springs, Rust & The Hard Truth of Owning an Old BMW | Battle of The 7s

[@rsjamie9423]

This is like two ends of the spectrum in modifications. I love Parm ❤

[@amithalai]

Love the energy and banter between Raj and Parm, but above all there’s mutual respect! Great video! 👍🏽

[@MrC280]

Parms pure joy when driving that boat out!! Unmatched, i love it! 😂

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

The best!

[@Samm44s]

Reckless behaviour from Parm, but we love it! intrigued to see how these both turn out. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Thanks for watching 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@darkbassi5911]

Gotta love Raj and Parm, great episode 😂

[@junaidshabudin6809]

Static E38 looking Gangster❤

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@faisaliqbal3181]

This rivalry is EPIC!!!

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

It certainly is !

[@algeniscorrea187]

I like this series alot. It's like how to modify a car the right way and the wrong way.

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Totally 😂😂

[@cduone]

I Love my 99 E38 Short Sport.

[@MrDreamscape2020]

While I understand both points of view, I am going with the Slam-God, Parm.

[@knn059]

I have a 2001 e38 those are normal mechanical issues to have with these cars. Couple more things you will run into pretty soon for sure, vacuum leaks, valve cover leaks, chain guides goin to @%&@ which will cost you a major coin, coolant reservoir blowong up, :-). Good luck.

[@mikewareham7240]

Nice work on the silver one, people need to realise static is a way of life! 😂

[@stevey-nwas1230]

Good. Thing about kos, staff at birds, They treat customers cars as their own and don't cut corners on any maintenance work required on it

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Great team at Birds BMW - highly recommended 🙌🏽

[@imSchwaggy]

I'm 100% about to get another e38 theyre one of the best looking cars ever made.

[@Ktg_sa]

Static fam is south Africa welcomes yall, be careful of the cut spring bounce😂❤

[@hsingh630]

Not sure about the method, but e38 definitely looks better lower. Some nice rims and it will be awesome.

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

For sure, the correct wheels can totally transform the look of any car

[@kevinadaway8257]

I learnt the hard way about costly bmw repairs when I had my e39 m5, was an awesome car tho, enjoyed owning it and still miss it

[@stevey-nwas1230]

Raj stance is going to look hooked up 👌👌👌👌👌 Parm stance looks fooked up.. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Haha … totally. Looks like Parm needs to reconsider the route he is taking with the silver E38 🤣

[@stevey-nwas1230]

@@CarAudioSecurityUK he needs to take that new route... Directly to kos at birds... These cars can't be worked or fixed by Bob in the shed mechanic.

[@Prodriver33]

One of my all time favourite!!! I absolutely LOVE the E38!! It’s so beautiful 😍!! I would never buy one lol. I just know its unreliability would break my heart. I can’t buy a car I can’t count on no matter how much I love it. I wish more people felt that way maybe we would have more reliable cars to choose from and I wouldn’t have to drive around in a Toyota tundra.

[@Lifebikescars]

This video was jokes 😂 proper old school G cutting the springs for the slam 💪🏾😂

[@danieldevlin8760]

I know parm is only messing with us, but it does look good. Sat on its arse 😂😂😂

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Hopefully Parm will see sense, because as it stands, it's definitely not driveable 😂

[@Davidson-007]

Wheel arches the side skirts are always the rust issue , especially the arches that are double skinned & can’t get any panel replacements for them anywhere

[@teamphashash]

😂😂😂😂In 2012 I bought a 1100 '79 mk1 golf 2door from NewCastle(KZN South Africa) . I couldn't even do a 3point turn, decided to get it back to OEM height. Jacked it up and the springs all fell to the ground. 1st time I had ever seen 3piece coil springs per wheel. 😂😂😂😂

[@watchman2263]

Luv the old stuff no doubt but our endless damp rainy weather has wrecked most of mine . Good luck hopefully not too much new metal needed.

[@essjay86]

Regarding the headlight issue on the silver car, I had the same problem with my E39. It was caused by a blocked sunroof drain hole, water draining down into the cabin and soaking the LKM/LCM (light control module). Mine was totally fried so had to get a spare off a breaker, which works but it needs coding to my car now as the milage doesnt match so have a tamper dot showing on dash. Worth looking into that!

[@baganrbagan]

Mans murdered that silver e38. He can’t drive anywhere that low .

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Back to the drawing board perhaps 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@amardaman3371]

Oh twaaadi!!! The silver 750 iL has been RUINED 😮

[@PlanetHumza]

Lol twaaaaaadi 😂

[@stevey-nwas1230]

So when Jay took out some of the fuses... Did it improve your mpg.. Lol

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Not sure … the dash display has so many pixels out 🤣🤣

[@warlubie]

Old cars …. can be saved easily but unfortunately most UK garages labour cost is beyond ridiculous bearing in mind normal job pays 15£ per hour

[@mralekos]

I don’t think so, garages have overheads which most people don’t realise. And skilled senior & master techs are paid significantly more than £15ph.

[@warlubie]

@ talking about ordinary person wages not the tech….I get the overhead but it’s still ridiculous compering…mobile mechanics don’t charge as much….garages being owned with no mortgage or rent don’t have to charge as much….it’s a debate with no ending but it’s a reality and my post was only an opinion

[@mralekos]

@@warlubie rent & rates for something around 5000sq ft is over £50,000 PA, then there’s electric, gas, water, equipment, compressors, ramps etc that come at a cost. Insurance for the property & vehicles. The overheads and investments into a business are huge. And while mobile mechanics are good and have a place in the world they cannot undertake certain jobs, not due to lack of skill or knowledge but the work flow. They can’t stay with the same car for 3/4/5 days. A workshop can and the workshop has the space to “park” a job while the daily routine works get done and whilst you wait for parts required which at times take 5-7 days to arrive. I hear your points though but it’s worth taking a look into the inner workings and operations of places like Birds, Munich legends etc who are of the most established BMW specialists should they ever have an open day. It’s an eye opener. Yes not all can afford their rates, but anyone considering owning a car that may at times need a specialist needs to consider that these will need a serious investment and preventative maintenance. Just replacing fuel and brake pipes on an e46 M3 or even a 330i (and they’ll all need them doing now if they haven’t been done) will swallow 8-10 hours labour. Full service history is nice, but maintenance/repair bills are nicer to see when buying a car.

[@SeamusMcFitz-jz9if]

Normally, we used to bend the top of the cut coil back down to make it flat. Otherwise it will be punching through your tophats and eventually, frame of the car.

[@orlando9812]

Ruined the e38 by lowering it.

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

You're on the same page as Raj - hopefully Parm will see sense

[@willjam465]

Yeah, that is just sad to see a classic like that so low. To each their own, but this not my taste.

[@stevebrayne2609]

Parm has fucked it. It looks like it’s got the 1000lb sisters in the car, driving to get gastric bands fitted.

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

This! Not a fan of low.

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

⁠@@CarAudioSecurityUKRaj is right! 👏

[@lowrideza]

Been Waiting For This One... Tnx CasTv

[@TVtwarn]

Boys . The silver car - y plate with an obl suffix - isn’t that a press car ?

[@tshepomolefe1690]

Slamming it - yes 😊 Cutting springs - no 😢

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Back to the drawing board for Parm …

[@RamblingClassics]

Parm should start a channel called Ruined Rides 🤣 I know which car I wouldn’t go near if I was looking to buy one 🤣 Enjoying videos though 👍

[@nomoretax]

I'll never ever buy a car thats been anywhere near these two.

[@Birmingham_racing]

I remember my friend cutting springs on his mk1 mx5 he couldn't get over half the speed humps

[@danykrmek]

Parm went a bit too crazy 😂

[@bobbymercer9789]

The silver one looks 👌lol

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Looks good... not sure how it drives though 😂

[@fozpringle1]

Bigger bill than i would have imagined

[@jockefaldt2307]

Have to take away the inner fenders and it will be scraping that bottom of the gearbox on the static.

[@Makelovenotwar6969]

Really enjoy watching your vids, I watch it with my 10 year old, as I also use to have a e38 and love telling him about it . Would love your vids a lot more , if u could ease up on the swearing , please

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Thanks for watching and we’ll ensure Parm kerbs the swearing 👍🏽

[@sats7819]

That bill is crazy

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Plenty more bills to come 😢

[@stevey-nwas1230]

Raj don't need a drum role... Need a Indian dool player lol

[@Mousiee7sg]

Why no one went performance struts/shocks and lowering springs.......air and cutting springs. Lol smh

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

The next episode will be interesting 😉

[@Pixelpeeps-69]

Is all this hassle worth the headache and probably the resale value won’t be worth it

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

It’ll be worth it in the end…

[@paulkamara281]

£3297.68😊.........thats fantastic considering main dealer and 25 years😊

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

There are no doubt a few more bills to come 😢

[@PixelVogue]

I'm sure Parm will get some coilovers on it...... lol

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Lets hope so...

[@Davidson-007]

The tool kits are always complete ; nobody touches them lol

[@ajch2933]

Should not cut springs just buy proper lowering spring they have gone cheap to save money

[@TheodoreCryus]

$75k biweekly changed my mindset and behavior, my goals, my family and l've to say this video has inspired me a lot!!!!❤️..

[@ThomasTyler-pz3sp]

I'm feeling really motivated. Could you share some details about the biweekly topic you brought up?

[@TheodoreCryus]

I raised 75k and Claudia Ann Brandon is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in dept then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Claudia A Brandon is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note!:: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!!

[@DonelisFerreira]

Wow 😱 I know her too Miss Claudia Ann Brandon is a remarkable individual whom has brought immense positivity and inspiration into my life.

[@AmirahFarah-k3z]

Can't imagine earning $85,000 biweekly, God bless Ms Claudia Ann Brandon, God bless America 🇺🇸 ❤️

[@Danaworley-o4u]

people are ignorant of profitablity in bitcoin investment and that has been the major issues limiting their investment

[@nikovanderauwera2854]

Cutting springs is dangerous! And its to low, car ruïned like this.

[@deancrisp3596]

1700 pound in labour that's disgusting

[@Prodriver33]

I’ve never met another mechanic that’s is more than lower middle class. Almost poor I would say they all qualify for. When I hear people complain about labour I wonder if they even begin to understand. They should be getting twice that! Stop facking complaining about labour!

[@ShalomBrother]

You should never cut your springs cos the more you chop out of them, the stiffer they become

[@Pixelpeeps-69]

Omg that’s well and truly ruined that silver bm 😮

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

🤣🤣

[@stevey-nwas1230]

I would not trust Parm to. Chop, cut my steak up.... Never mind the springs on a car

[@wgreen340]

Yes this is a mess BC coilovers wid proper heights is stance.

[@Revv_Elation]

I was considering purchasing a 750il, but after seeing repair bill, I'll pass.😂

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

And this is just the start!

[@Prodriver33]

Lowering that thing is so stupid, looks stupid, drives stupid. Stupid just stupid…..

[@MazzaLean-f9r]

Amazing cars ! But some of the cars that turn up to the show events , what planet these people come from

[@andrewellis5092]

Static is right, can’t drive anywhere!

[@goosegarage78]

Ruined the car by cutting springs. To lower properly need to heat and compress the springs and a full set of lower springs from eibach isnt expensive.

[@stonecold2176]

The lad said it well...Blasphemy!, you dont do that to an E38. Looks hideous. So sad. I hope he was only joking us by chopping the springs.

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

They have been chopped … another update out very soon

[@Birmingham_racing]

Even if you buy a Lexus from that generation you will get issues

[@khalidzraja1669]

Looks awful! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Liam-x7i]

Absolute shocking 😳 how could you let him chop it up? Disgusting

[@Thenameonthegraveisarchstanton]

Cutting springs, amateur hour. First n last thing I’ll watch of these clowns. Pathetic
