Hey @DRIVETRIBE ..... What was that badass song at 17:16? Love to get my hands on that when I do my detailing on my car

how come the paint work wasn't done in hammonds shop?

Please don't manual swap it!

[@leeriddick7]

Mike when you going to address the Mad Ford controversy?

[@falcon_three_fifty]

Mike, the only thing you should change on the BMW is the radiator. An all-aluminum radiator would be the best option. I've talked with BMW technicians, and they've admitted the recycled-plastic end tanks of the factory radiator are the weakest part of ALL BMW's cooling systems. Also, I'm a tow truck driver in the San Franciso Bay Area in California, and the only reason I need to tow BMWs is for overheating. Well, okay, severe coalitions as well, but that's not the car's fault. Other than that, if you intend to change anything else, you should sell this estate to someone who won't ruin this car and will enjoy it as it is. To quote James, "SANTERD!" James is right. Vehicles of this caliber and higher should only be maintained, driven, and enjoyed as they were intended by the manufacturer. If you want a project car to modify like a tasteless, tacky American lacking reason, common sense, or mechanical sympathy, please buy a different vehicle to mutilate.

[@guy_fox_427]

Mike, You still want to change this fine example of German engineering? You want to modify a nearly factory condition, rare, desired, sought-after by those who can't afford it yet car and make changes to it like a board teenager that just got their license to drive? You can't take the hint can you. Did you not understand why commenters successfully stopped you from changing this car's color? If you want to be like Rob Dahm or some other You Tuber, do it to a car NO ONE will be bothered if it was given a new life. Like a car that has been wrecked or has no hope of being what it was when it was first sold. Take the hint, mate. You're not the right person for this car.

[@BeardedFrog]

PPF is beyond worth it. When I custom ordered my C7, I had it put on the day it came in. 32k miles later, and no scratches/dings etc. The peace of mind you get from being able to not worry about rock chips, or where you park it, or swirl marks from how you wash it, etc. 100% worth it. I'll never understand anyone who gets something really nice, or just something they deeply care about, that doesn't use PPF.

[@chillybrit2334]

Additional benefit is it protects you from Tigers and Aliens too! After all you've not been mauled by a tiger or abducted by an alien since. kzbin.info/www/bejne/roS5on9-nM1_ptk It's the gift that keeps on giving... well worth every penny!

[@Master1906]

I get that it looks nice but how can you not understand that some people don’t have the money for it? I love my car but I can just about afford to run it.

[@Horizon301.]

Because most people don’t have expensive cars worth protecting the paint of. At that point you are just saving the paint for the next owner.

[@Youcallthesebagels_]

Ppf is boring, what are you saving the paint for? Give the car some character.

[@BeardedFrog]

@@Master1906 I can definitely understand if you don't have the money for it, but I see people with Lambos, and Ferraris, etc that don't do it.

[@Dorkbike]

I have a heighten respect for the tech guys installing that PPF film. I just did a full wrap PPF kit job on a carbon bicycle frame and it was by far the most time consuming and stressful things I've done to maintain a bike. The heat healing properties are pretty cool and this is great technology for car enthusiasts alike.

[@camperhonsa8633]

Can’t wait for the manual swap! With it this will literally be the perfect car🔥 All the boot space, all the power, all the sound and all the character😍

[@Pats4lyfe]

[@thatsgottahurt]

Got that thing looking super fresh. That PPF and ceramic coating is insane.

[@randoir1863]

NGL , that scratching part was really hard to watch!!!!!! Happy to see such a great car get the tlc is deserves. Normally I'm not a BMW fan , but when someone finds a unique car and falls in love with it , you can't help but feel the same as they do . Cheers !!!!!!

Part of my job is applying Protection Pro film to mobile phones. Its incredibly satisfying, and mostly the same as the application of the PPF to this BMW, just at a much much smaller scale. Similar process, install gel goes on, then the film, then a squeegee to pull the gel out, and finally a heat gun to help with the edges of phones with curved screens. Yes, its an OCD sufferer's therapy. I don't have OCD of course. I have CDO, which is like OCD but the letters ARE IN THE CORRECT ORDER.

[@URHYNS]

I remember in the 1990's, we used to have a show in Australia called Beyond 2000 that would show what technologies and gadgets we might have in the future. Most of it was just fantasy, stabs in the dark but it was a cool show no less. I remember one of them being a self-healing paint or film that would rectify any scratches with a bit of heat. Well... here we are.

[@garagecedric]

I watched beyond 2000 on discovery as a kid, with Arthur C Clark, memories :)

[@andrewolson5471]

Ooh... Taking the wire brush to the hood made my stomach knot up, especially after seeing how fantastic she looked after the full detailing. I sure am glad that protection worked!!

[@UnzippedBanana]

Almost cried when Mike scratched the bonnet but now seeing ppf abilities, I really want to put ppf on my Saab ttid wagon as well. It's like magic

[@Yvolve]

I'm happy you're keeping it factory, since it's a 1 of 1 and quite an important car it turns out. Any other iteration of this model is just another BMW, but I think it is awesome to preserve the automotive history this car is part of. Watched the Hoonigans touring the Subaru Legacy collection the other day. So many great cars, that don't look too special but have a great story behind them. I my opinion, this BMW belongs in the BMW UK collection for what it is.

[@chillybrit2334]

7:50 "Always pull your squeegee, never push" 8:35 *Proceeds to push squeegee* I guess you have to advance to Jedi squeegee master before being allowed to do that :D Do as I say, not as I do for now! Hope this film doesn't yellow or end up flaky or generally go nasty after a few years of UV exposure then take the paint off with it. But then the current vehicle owner will have sold and moved on to the new shiny by the time that happens anyway and a new cottage industry will appear - "PPF Renovation Specialists". They'll also offer to do Titanium Ion Finish Coat which far exceeds the performance of the current measly ceramic crud. All work for the working person to do I suppose. :D

[@GappedGR86]

That M5 is looking mental. Top stuff.

[@rorybeanz]

Stunner - this makes me miss my E60 M5 so much.

[@Kalepsis]

I took my old V8 Vantage to a place to get a quote on what it would cost to get PPF and ceramic coating like this. The cost was $4,200. And that was a few years ago, so it's probably $5-6k now. Yeesh.

[@BCJDM]

Worth it imo, if you can afford it. Makes it super easy to keep clean

[@gavinwyllie7855]

I paid a bit less 11 months ago for my GT3, I paid £3000 11 months ago (no so called ceramic coating though) i had to have it resprayed due to chips etc. 11 months later, not a single mark on it. I use it for work 6 days a week and track it about once a month.
