I BOUGHT A DESTROYED BMW M3

I have always adored the #bmw #e92 #m3 but for some reason I have never owned one. Now it's time to change that with this #salvage 2013 model.
When I bought this car through the auctions at copart I originally thought I had ended up over paying for what is quite an old car with high mileage but this BMW had a few surprises for me when I had it delivered...

I am from South Africa and we absolutely love e92 M3’s!! Can’t wait to see the progress on this build…🇿🇦❤

[@duffydon1741]

Yeah sure, you guys like to hijack them!!

[@thaaqibjohnson8359]

Shame on you, it must be nice labelling us from your keyboard lol

[@diondeedrive]

🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@jasongrobbelaar2081]

I dare him come say that nonsense in SA, probably has never even been here. What a chop

[@duffydon1741]

Its no secret that SA is an extremely unsafe space full of xenophobia..

[@chiganuggoo9929]

No way you overpaid on that Chris. It's going to turn out to be a great buy. Superb colour, Comp pack, great spec, late model, minor damage - what's not to love. Don't sweat the mileage at all - these cars run as sweet as the day they left the factory as long as they're looked after. I've owned several of these cars, the 'latest' over ten years now and I'm on over 160,000 miles, had the conrod bearings changed couple years ago at 148k miles and the actuators a year before that - one went at 138k miles so I got both refurbed by Rebuild with lifetime warranty...absolute joy to drive, I can see me never selling it, so much fun and a real event every time you fire it up. So much bang for buck on them, yes they may be lacking in the low end torque range but once you wind that glorious S65 up, nothing beats it in that price range or anywhere near. I've had a Stage 2 tune, a GTS DCT flash and an Akrapovic Evo exhaust to mine and it transformed the car completely, although you can get the similar gains from a primary cat removal 'test pipes' set up. Looking forward to you getting this up and running and hearing your thoughts. Regarding the whine, the pulleys dry easily on these cars when laid up, a quick dash of WD40 cures it I've found (do them one by one to locate the culprit and stop the whine)...also tensioner pulley is prone to a 'rattle' when flooring it. Anyway. I've rambled on enough! Such awesome cars. Loving the channel!

Fellow M3 (E93) driver here. This was all so useful to read! On 71’000 miles. Was a little worried (the common adage “100’000 = death row” comes to mind). So reassuring, because I just don’t want the fun to end!!! I get it serviced proactively (ahead of computers scheduling), use the high grade oil top ups. Would you recommend I do anything else? Thanks again

[@paulyoungs7361]

I think you might be onto something here Chris. Repairing relatable / affordable cars vs Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche could well be a gap in the market 👍

[@WEFLIPANYCAR]

I would have used the cheapest oil available and make sure IT’s running as it should as well as getting the rod bearing’s checked / replaced and then put the better oil 🎉

[@JLI15]

Awesome purchase, big fan of the E92 M3. Can't wait to see the complete build and repair, all the best!

[@paulc8821]

Great video Chris, been waiting for you to get one of these since you asked for car suggestions and I mentioned one of these. Your response showed your love for one of these. Now you finally have one. One of my dream cars also 👍

[@adamwhitaker9579]

I rebuilt one of these in lockdown Chris, they’re epic cars, mine was damaged on the passenger side so luckily didn’t damage any coolers, hope you get it fixed without too many issues. These cars are very temperamental if the battery voltage drops too low so if you ever have any electrical niggles bang a new battery in it

[@TheRealDr.Mabuse]

I've rebuilt mine twice. For me it was worth it!

[@damo1979]

Price wise I think you've done well provided the costs to rebuild aren't too high. Definitely a good spec and being a CS and Individual always helps. I previously had the E93 version and absolutely loved it...miss it all the time but sold it as wasn't getting driven and was offered silly money. Have fun with it...that S65 is a beast! 😊

[@leemaryan4599]

Watching you and matt I fix my own car wasn't as bad as what you guys do but thanks to both its saved lot money

[@paulcushnie]

My mum has the e93 335i in with the individual paint choice too. Hers is black but with a blue sparkle but when you clean them and get it out in the sun the flake really pops you will really like yours once you have done your magic to it.

[@CuzzyWuzzy]

Brilliant vid, i love that BMW helped to confirm you made a good purchase. keep up the great work.

[@stevee8920]

You can’t beat an M3, the E92 is such a good model with its V8 engine and its playful rear end, I completely get why you went for it Chris. It will be good to see this finished and back on the road for some spirited drives 👍🇬🇧

[@BTheJourney66]

Love the E92 M3, looking forward to this series!

[@tyburcjusz]

My fav BMW as well 🎉 keep my fingers crossed, I admire the transition from detailing to rebuilding 💪keep up the good work and you'll soon catch up with MA level of subs. You deffo have my "vote" 🤘🤘

[@AlanWeston-R88]

Great watch can’t wait to see the progress on channel happy new year

[@leviranger-xc7qo]

Congratulations chris happy for you I owned one of these great cars for 3 years your going to absolutely love it miss mine has soon has I sold it got a F80 M3 now fast but not the same ❤

[@zedkay4057]

Modern classic! This is my era of cars ❤

[@StreetSoldierUK]

I like this format, especially where your boys come just to help out a bit

[@diogo1966]

Also main bearings are something to look out for, specially the one nearest to the timing chain

[@Madmo1012]

Love your videos chris you take on some mad crashed cars but i love watching the progress getting them back on the road. Keep up the good work mate and i cannot wait for the next update on the X3M

[@majorswitchdj1595]

Mate I love watching your work on all these car so much to the point t that I am Hoi g to go back to college to study how wire cars up I need thanks for the inspiration

[@richardlawrence865]

[@grantlingley1385]

Hey Chris, subscribed and loved the video! These V8 M3’s really are amazing! Looking forward to more content! Happy New Year!!!

[@samrackham4774]

That Rubin metallic is sick, love the car and loving the build hope for no hidden gremlins along the way 😎🤞

[@hands197]

❤Love the colour❤ Keep up the great videos Chris. Happy New Year!

[@andywhite1636]

Big fan had one few years ago epic cars great content as always 👌

[@yhshah21]

Lads those connections under the hood are to give car power so you can get the battery.. you should then always use a jump pack directly on the battery to get the best result.

[@WEFLIPANYCAR]

Great video as always mate keep up the good content ❤

[@chappy_na]

Good Luck Chris, can't wait for the X3 M....❤

[@breene782]

M539 has done loads to an e92 worth a watch looking forward to this build im not jealous 😢

[@PieroGirolamo]

Good job Chris, congratulazioni

[@aaronf4201]

Absolutely stunning car…not overpaid!!!! What a beauty

[@a.t.g000]

This is one of my favourite cars, I really hope you put a custom exhaust on this thing. That s65 sounds so good

[@MrAdamjedwards1512]

Great car Chris!! Keep up the good work🎉

[@dhmallet]

One of my all time favorite cars as well. Good luck!

[@jackbeddoes4416]

Love the content Chris, keep it coming 😊

[@jonathanjordan1180]

[@emirkan9338]

Damn chris is love you finally this is the project i was waiting for😊

[@bash7862]

Brilliant Car Chris. Will be awesome when finished One of the best colours available Best of luck Chris 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@Arman-tm1kz]

We are Ruby Black Metallic E92 twins. You got me real excited when you showed the color, goodluck on the rebuild

[@chrisrayen]

Lets goo Chris! I'm a sucker for BMW's so this vid is very interesting for me. Keep up the good work!

[@user-gb9by1dv8h]

Great car love the M3 something all you guys on you tube need to do is before you start working on the car take the battery of and charge it makes life alot easier keep up the good work

[@imranakhtar2727]

Its a wicked motor to work and own. Mileage aside its a good price for the spec. Keep up the good work big fan of M power cars myself.

[@Taylorjay99]

That colour is very similar to "Etna Black" that I had on my Alfa Romeo. That will be some absolutely stunning paint when the sun shines

[@tbtvuk]

Yesssssssssssss this is one I was waiting for...gotta be my favourite car

[@NorthWalesPiscator]

That’s going to be a awesome motor when your done. Chris check the alternator mate diodes could be knackered.

[@johnelbro127]

Great video, look forward to next one 👍👍👍👍

[@marcinwartecki7388]

I watched the whole episode, beautiful BMW as always. I hope you will be pleased with this car. I've always dreamed of something like this, unfortunately it's not within my budget. Greetings from Coventry

[@rjauto7215]

Really happy for you Chris the car is the nuts

[@mehmethussein5048]

Love the car I’ve got one as well so it’s nice to see what you guys are doing to the car. I wish i could get mine up to scratch. Keep up the good work good video as well. I’m going to bmw to see if they would give me a history on mine as well many thanks

[@user-dg3oy2cq6m]

Well done Chris another great video 👍

[@andypower31]

I’ve been following mat armstrong forever and love his content. Checked this lad out and he’s just as good, but this is like the notmal version. Like a bmw m3 is attainable for me. It’s a great watch ❤

[@W9LL95]

I have broke so many torx bits on that same arm. God bless halfords advanced warranty.

[@leehartley1667]

Nice car mate good to see you have some help 👍

[@three6trackdays75]

Well done mate, these are a dream car for me ! I will have one at some point, have to stick to my E36 at the moment which is still pretty good 😂

[@Mcpikie]

Love it Chris. If you call Rochdale BM and ask nicely, I'm sure they will provide you copies of the service history. Just tell them you are happy for them to block out previous owners details for GDPR 😂

[@tns_track8417]

I had a 2011 competition in Ruby Black what a car you just reminded me to look at some old pics of mine with the paint popping in the sunshine and it looks ace 😎I recommend once repaired do the rod bearings, an evolve engine and gearbox map, upgrade the brakes, maybe do the exhaust mod (although I never bothered as the car sounded epic) I replaced the grills with rare dark bronze ones off the M3 ltd. edition and then perfect car. Wondering why I sold mine now🤔😄 Good luck with build...

[@ifyouarefeelingsinister]

You’re 29! Tough paper round. Just playing, looking forward to this series

[@jusluvbass]

Love the e92’s 👌🏼 only ever seen one other BMW in Ruby Black, rare colour! Beauty!

[@geoffwatches]

Didn't know you had your own channel. Love your style mate, new sub!

[@Milkman69ner]

Love the videos Chris. Think you’re doing well with everything! So not to be negative but I do think you paid over the odds for the car. There are some non cat cars on auto trader at not much more cost at all so think you’ll struggle to not break the bank. Either way I’m hyped for the project!

[@JasonLloyd-zz9if]

Great vidio Chris ...just a note ..an extension on an impact gun acts as a torsion spring so you lose loads of UGA DUGA power

[@juniorbasenga6128]

Keep going bro. We’re with you all the way ! 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@briangschaefer7048]

Beautiful car. Definitely worth the money.

[@Hondalover12]

good luck bro❤

[@jamiepollard9735]

Chris! Great content mate, that's a great find. I can see it was sold on 14th May 2019 with 95k for £19,925. Interesting to compare to the price you paid, but that was pre crash & pre COVID.

[@ryansxperiance]

How were you able to find this out ?😅

[@jamiepollard9735]

@@ryansxperiance I use the app total car check, it's really good. It gives you tonnes of information on a car via the reg and it's free.

[@michaelcurrie58]

All about that e92 life. Let's go 💪

[@OwainPreece-ie6bb]

The start of another good series 👌

It’s about time Im from Romania and im struggling on finding one like it

Really enjoying the videos and this ticks the boxes. I thought I had subscribed but wasnt....... I have changed it now ;)

[@jamesh2515]

Thxs - good luck with the rebuild.. curious how you found out how many were made with Rubin - Black.. I have an Azurite Black one (E93) and have been trying to track down how many in that colour.

[@markvale83]

Love my E92 M3. I have a manual Melbourne Red one

Great great car to add for content 🔥 following will be huge. Looking forward 😁❤️

My 12 plate bmw x5 is individual in rubin shwach metallic. Lovly colour

In the states you can go walk the yard and start the vehicles and all that at Copart we do it all the time

[@lvpunisher888]

I was biding on this ruby black competition . Congrats with win

[@albanphillips4651]

Could you do a garage update please with everything you own and tell us what we can expect to see in the upcoming year?

[@kevinneary2283]

Great colour car maybe a good one .Competition pack is the way the car should always have been. I had 2 loved them to bits except putting fuel in was a drag even if you can afford it 😂

[@josephkelly4893]

Love the e92 M3. Have a 335 e92 myself, but the M3 will be in my garage one day. Peace

[@JoeT-92]

I used to work at the rochdale bmw 😅 I probably cleaned it when I came in haha

Love it Chris

Power steel pump is whining try topping up and bleeding. Quality car.

[@vincentwitjes5106]

my mates brother owns the same spec but its RHD its a nice car to have i think he only installed a different intake idk who made it buts its carbon

Owned 3 E9x M3s lovee themm

[@joshn5790]

Love watching ya mates rebuild your cars for you 😂

[@kieran2744]

Full eventuri, keep wheels and refurb in the M2CS gold, machine and coat jobs a good yin 👍🏼👌🏻

[@Livautowerx]

As soon as a wheel isn’t straight they class it as structural. Bonus when it’s a £15 track rod end

[@wrth]

being such a rare car I think it deserves an engine checkup with new aftermarket rod bearings so it lives for many more miles

[@seanpaul3050]

When you have a crash damaged car that may have lost oil and has probably been sitting for months. It's not a great idea to try and start it straight away. Replace any damaged oil feed parts first. Then PRIME the oil circuit with the fuel pump and ignition disabled. Get the oil moving throughout the whole system, camshafts, bearings etc. THEN start the engine.

[@tartanwallpaper]

This looks interesting! 🤔 How about converting it to a manual? 😁

[@talha9676]

That picture defo made me think its a Mat Armstrong video 😂😂😂 good copy lad, hope you smash it 👍

[@AutoBeta2T]

Wish I hadnt sold mine now. Definitely get an Eventuri plenum - 😍
