I bought and fixed the most neglected BMW E90 I’ve ever seen | PT1

I recently embarked on an exciting adventure when I decided to purchase and restore a neglected BMW E90 320i. It was an exhilarating experience right from the moment I laid my eyes on this diamond in the rough. The car had clearly seen better days, but I saw its true potential and couldn't resist the challenge of bringing it back to life.
The neglected state of the BMW E90 320i was evident in its exterior appearance. The once vibrant paint had faded, with scratches and dents marring its sleek lines. But beneath the surface, I knew there was a magnificent machine waiting to be revitalized.
With determination and a keen eye for detail, I set out on a mission to restore this BMW to its former glory. I began by carefully assessing the extent of the neglect and creating a comprehensive plan for the restoration process. It was crucial to address both the aesthetic and mechanical aspects of the vehicle.

Man you have so much knowledge on cars. What a super power. I think at your age I was throwing a yo-yo, so I can only imagine what you can achieve in future. Keep up the good work man! :)

[@EMSGARAGEE61]

Thank you my friend😊😊

If you know what you have, and you know what you are doing, mechanically the BMW is one of the easiest cars to maintain. Ya" it's a little bit sensitive but hay it's a really cool car to drive and worth the effort. No turbos of course. In any car with turbos chargers they are going to give you problems. ANY CAR. Happy driving..!

I have enjoyed (well mostly) my E90 323i for the past 7-8 yrs. Alas the paintwork on my car is no where as good as even on yours, asides the nasty scratch on your car. The clear coat on the roof has failed on mine, and both the bonnet and boot lid are also showing signs of fading. My car now has a bit over 230K kms on the clock. Early on this year the engine died and so at significant cost I had it replaced with a relatively low km 2nd hand engine. The thing is I have always been careful with its maintenance and so was somewhat surprised by the engine failure. Alas, the car now has cost me more than it’s worth and having the paintwork sorted out will only add to this. But, once I can afford it , I will get it done. I might as well and hang the cost and resale value.

He man i have a tip if you want: i see that your wipers are not going fully down in the 'black window zone'. They should 'park' lower then they do now. This is a very easy and cheap fix; just replace the wipers relay in the backside of the glove box. BMW made a updated version of this relay because this is a common issue. BMW can provide this new relais for around €16. Be sure to ask for the updated one. this makes the car look more modern as well. Hope this helps

[@EMSGARAGEE61]

Good thing to know, but i sold the car a while ago😃

You can buy bulbs with inbuilt resistors to trick the canbus thing.

Very well done! In my opinion, you should use security glasses every time you work on it 😉👏👏👏

You can Use a WD 40 for rest of glue of tint, and multi purpose cleaner after that and it will be like brand new :) Keep it posting videos you are doing very well :)

[@hizanawaz2706]

@ my issue is fixed…I used motor doctor no longer getting low oil pressure….not sure what is going on here… I replaced oil pump and then changed oil after 900 miles of driving but one thing I Noticed there seemed to have been a lot of oil consumption but I changed oil and oil filter with motor doctor can…I am no longer getting oil consumption the oil reading after 1500 miles of driving is still showing at maximum level… Could it be after oil pump change I need about 5.5 litres of oil instead of 4.25 recommended What do you think happened here??

[@bigdeal87]

is it better to let the wheels on that the axle will drop more because of the extra weight ?

[@EMSGARAGEE61]

Not sure if it makes a differnece, maybe take off wheels, less tension on hoses and stuff

[@kamikami8739]

So which bmw engine is worse. N46 or N43. Looking for one and not sure which to choose n46 or n43 E90

[@EMSGARAGEE61]

Don’t buy 2.0 litre petrol, buy a diesel, but if you have to, buy n46, a lot cheaper to fix if it breaks
