I need to see Alex standing next to Nick.😂

[@TheChugnut]

I always thought Taylor was massive (in height) and then saw him in real life next to Alex. Really put things in perspective.

He was, he was just out of frame 😂

Can vouch for Nick being your man when it comes to BMWs. He sourced plenty and gave some great advice on my old E46 clubsport

[@dutchcarguys]

Love the direction the V2 channel goes! Keep up the good work guys!

Is it me or dose the auto Alex v2 channel turning into Taylor’s channel

[@renas5371]

3250rpm at 70mph sounds about right for a 3.38 ratio. Shout out to Nick and Jay!! Top lads

[@gregmarking6716]

Too high for motorway cruising. If he fits the correct 2.93 diff to match the manual gearbox it will be around 2700rpm at 70mph.

[@renas5371]

@@gregmarking6716 if you’re doing a lot of motorway driving then I would agree it’s not a good option for a 5 speed, but a good upgrade otherwise as the car is a lot more lively when compared to a 2.93.

[@hardyschilling644]

A 3.38 ratio is pretty perfect - as long as one uses a BMW 6 speed gearbox 😜

[@TheGoodLeftUndone93]

This has to be the first video I've watched where Taylor hasnt said "joie de vivre". Lots of French laughing though!! 😂😂

[@robo1000]

I don’t even live on the same continent and I feel like I need to give Nick protection money

[@Nunyabusiness87]

Nick is a National treasure

[@MegaMadmax1000]

The front half of the driveshafts are all you need when doing a swap like this, if you put the front half of the manual driveshaft onto the original automatic rear half of the driveshaft it would have fitted without needing modification! All e36s and e46s are like this, for example small case rear ends have a longer driveshaft, so if you pull a manual conversion out of an e36 318 the driveshaft will be too long to fit into a e36 325, but if you put the manual front half of the shaft onto the auto rear half it will be the correct length as the rear half is a certain length to suit what rear end you have.

[@robs9833]

OH SHIT THE E46 DON NICK JUPP. big up Nick, I had a 330cd that had a blowing exhaust manifold. I didn't even know it was blowing, he asked me to rev it once and was like YAH EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED. Didn't even let me buy the wrong part I was going to buy off him. Such a g.

[@STANDUP47]

Idk about everyone else but I love that nick guy. He was hilarious

[@ericsimpson6425]

[@timdroningaround7790]

Nick Jupp, would’ve never kept any of my e46 on the road without him. Highly recommended

[@r35killa]

I see so many other comments like this, but I LOVE where this channel is going. Great for little side projects like this on more personal cars and smaller 1 car type adventures that don't fit on the main channel. Reviews/drives should definitely come to this channel like you mentioned at the end. Why not keep filming the normal content like this as it only adds value to the channel. Keep up the content on both channels!

[@DaBigDawg1978]

'Watered down the swarfiga' has to be one of the best lines on this channel ever.

[@matmanheaf]

Nick Jupp haha what a legend, I’ve bought so many parts from that guy

[@paulmcmillan5941]

Taylor has developed a new habit of wearing most of the car as he works. Alex destroys clutches and Taylor wears em! 😂

[@robjeffels]

Nick's the man, helped me out a few times, when I had my e46 330i a few years back.

[@ADM_K]

Can we all just taken a moment to appreciate how handsome Taylor looks today

[@iplaysdrums]

You misspelled “every day”

[@CooperTrooper27]

Love the Taylor content!

[@elighmathews]

I’ve had a few dealings with Nick and bought a few bits off him. I can fully vouch he knows exactly what he’s doing and the best place for Bimmer spares!

[@kjah06]

Interesting seeing Nick Jupp in a vid (the bmw parts guy who uses a hillariously horendous amount of parcel tape to wrap stuff 😂😂) If you know you know

[@schrodingerscat8621]

I’ve performed the same swap on a E46. Very straightforward, did my own wiring for the reverse light to the relay panel under the bonnet. Also did the coding to remove the TCM from the start up roster. Piece of cake. I also made an upgraded shifter linkage from the transmission to the shifter assembly.

[@DoppelgangerGamers]

Nick is the lord and saviour for all e46 owners

[@ErikB750]

7:41 IN The Bin - nice reference to the Mighty Car Mods channel. If they ever have the chance to team up … it’ll be hilarious

[@lewismitch15]

OMFG it's Nick Jupp!! I remember ordering parts from him and it took me about a week to get to the parts unwrapping it all as he wraps things up with whole rolls of brown tape 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheNorthernmunky]

I love how fabulously camp Taylor is 😂😂 also I remember Nick Jupp, he helped convert my small hole in to a bigger hole so I could fit a double din stereo in my E46! And get your minds out the gutter you lot.

[@bencarter7294]

We need more of Nick!!!

[@stefanbloodworth9613]

Nick Jupp is the man !! Great guy always very helpful

[@CMDRRustyDog]

Coding out the gear cog is easy. You need to remove a line from vehicle order in INPA. I know because my 330Ci Clubsport was converted to manual and I did it on that. I think it's #250 that has to be deleted. Great to see our E46 lifesaver, Nick Jupp there too. :) Also with my diff (which I think is from an auto) is doing 3,000rpm at 80mph.

[@at_e4647]

About time old Jupp got his face on KZbin, got to be the most well known geeza within the 46 community!

7:42 I love the mighty car mods reference.

[@david29262]

You can tell when a channel has the chance to do well, when you come to the comments and its just banter but nobody is rude just good old British banter

[@ghomerhust]

i love that the banter on the podcast is making it into regular shop shenanigans. DIFF RATIOS: the smaller number vs 1 means higher top speed, less acceleration. a 2.76 is much higher top speed than 3.73 but is way slower off the line. my stock O2A trans in my vr6 golf is 70mph at about 3k rpm on stock sized tires.

[@matthewavery850]

Yesss nick is an absolute legend! He helped make my e46 convertible a convertible again haha 👏👏
