ITS FINALLY SOLD!
The day has come folks, we finally unloaded the 2001 BMW 330i E46! What a couple months it has been getting this sorted out. First we were scammed, then blown off, so Daniel took care of the job himself. After months and months on this car we finally let her go to her new home at full asking price. I put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into this car to get it to where it is today. Ill have another video in the future showcasing the build list, cost on parts, and what it took to get the car to its current condition.
A BIG SHOUTOUT TO DANIEL FOR HIS SERVICE, AND FOR SUPPORTING THE CHANNEL AND BUYING MY BMW!

Hi everyone, I'm Daniel. I snatched an amazing car from an amazing man, Alec. A couple small unforeseen speed bumps along our journey but the blue beauty is safe in El Paso. Huge thanks to Alec and everyone for your support. This was my fifth BMW "flyout and drive back" adventure and I'd have to say definitely the most satisfying.

As someone who road trips on both my cars or motorcycle, can't state just how important it is to have water, a blanket, something to eat, etc in the vehicle, just in case. You can get a tiny little (military?) blanket that's about the size of a small notepad and that can work in a pinch. I typically keep a backpack in my car, a "go bag lite," that also has a light jacket, and a change of underwear and socks, a puzzle book and a flashlight in it. On the bike i'm wearing the astronaut suit already, so it's just a couple of granola bars in my pocket and a couple bottles of water in my panniers.

@@DayOffDIY Awesome! Golf with friends is a lot of fun too, but I agree it's hard to sink too much time. I've pretty much only ever stuck to playing RuneScape - perfect game to play if you only have X amount of time in a day. They re-released Old School RuneScape (based from 2007 onwards), and it's PUMPING at the moment, sits at around 100k + players a day! Not sure if it's your scene but worth a go if you're interested.

I might have to take a look! Love OSRS, I watch the occasional KZbin video on it. I used to sit on the piers at some island and pick up lobsters people would drop as they farm their fishing skills lol We should play online sometime! Time difference between us might be tough though

Fantastic job on bringing this modern classic back to its glory. Def a fair price for a well sorted clean 330i. FYI the Amazon a-premium window regulators are actually pretty good quality. A lot of people on the forums use them with good luck.

see thats the issues with thoses cars, they are amazing and defently be worth their weight in gold but its a suicide to fix them if you arent a mechanic because the amount of time they require is way to much for labor hourly rate
