Deep Cleaning, Painting, And Replacing Things In My BMW E30 Engine Bay

Got 100k subscribers before I ever used warp stabilizer. Still didn’t use it right 😎😭

It's 2022 and you still have to nest stabilized clips to use warp stabilizer 😭

[@shanechopko5523]

Just popped this on after wrenching for 2 days straight. New master cylinder, rear calipers, a timing belt kit, water pump, all accessory belts, new power steering fluid, coolant, a fresh AC charge, and a general clean. I am really excited to start filming my car adventure, but the amount of effort in these shots are what make me appreciate your videos that much more.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Jeez dude that’s a massive overhaul! Car is probably living you😭. Thank you though!🖤

Your videos are truly something to be admired. A ton of detail and thought put into every shot you compose. Everything is so intentional and your attention to detail is really something to be admired whether cinematically or mechanically. I’m really excited to see you continue with the e30 project. Thanks for the content. PS you probably already know this but you don’t have a hose clamp on the intake boot directly after the AFM.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thank you so much Ben! I appreciate you taking the time to watch. Haha yeah the clamp didn’t show up before the video. It’s on there now 😊🙏

Heck yeah Jason! You got that, keep hustling. Much love 😭

[@dillanmistry]

I started my interest in detailing when I was detailing my dads e30, the engine bay had stuck in oil and all the things that are not easy to come off, I did it all by hand never used water, any stubborn dirt just used a polish to get then off and once you clean these engines you can’t stop the urge to just pop the hood and stare at it😂 next time I detail one I’ll use a jet washer since you had no issues here, I was too new to know what I was doing. Also cleaning the intake manifold makes the engine bay pop

[@ChromaticGarage]

That’s awesome man! It’s funny, so many friends have the exact same story of getting into detailing having started on a family/friends E30 as well. Love to hear it! And thank you 🖤

[@Bacon__SteezBurger]

13:30 damn, that “putting on new grip tape” technique is so perfect for that 😂 I never even thought about that haha Ive always gone straight to the razor blade trim. Man this e30 is GORGEOUS. Another drool worthy, extra envious pick up 😂🤣 I’m In love with that 2 tone 😍 I honestly can’t even remember if I’ve ever even seen that. So sick. Can’t wait to see where this project goes 😎🙌🏼 Stay awesome homie 🙏🏼

My man drops a midweek gem on us. Truth be told I’m really digging this car more than that red station wagon. I’m interested in seeing where you take it. What were you using in the IK to foam down the engine?

I’m curious is that the original color DiamontSchwarz Metallic? I have a 323i that’s the same color but has been faded heavily by sun after sitting outside for years. Might need a legit well done paint job to get it back to normal color again.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Most of the car is original, front end is not, I will have it resprayed once the engine is in and it’s driving

Can you share where you get your car parts as well like the hood insulation? I assume it's not the easiest to find 90's car parts.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Most parts come from FCP Euro. The hood insulation came from Delta Park Auto, however it’s a bmw part so you can order it almost anywhere

[@krutonsurfing]

Nice vid. What kind of paint did you use on the valve cover? And what grit sandpaper did you use. Looked great. Thanks.

Haha no no I’m not that guy. As long as water is making contact it should be fine haha
