My Abandoned E92 BMW M3 Came with Some Hidden "Modifications"

[@Perceni]

Saturday morning cartoons for adults. Saturday is a good day for content.

[@MrBgray30]

Valved systems are a "Once you have it, you never go back" scenario. So nice to have, even better as an old guy

[@mustafaalsadi1214]

this is amazing !!! you are saving this bmw !!! what a greet work you are doing !!!! thank you

[@matt13ross]

Thanks so much my man!

[@renas5371]

I have used those same connectors to tap into existing wiring before and found that they have cut the original wire in half which leaves it with less wire to pass the current through, not to mention that they don’t provide a good connection and depending on what the original wiring is powering I would be cautious as with less wire it will be prone to overheating and potentially cause a fire. I strongly recommend not using these crappy connectors for anyone else watching as they will likely destroy your wiring!

[@craigrobertson7938]

Building up to a lovely collection. Hope you can keep the turbos….

[@jeffhammond8969]

Nice work! I noticed you had tap splices for power - not really a good solution for pulling power. Better to fully splice, solder and heat shrink those connections

[@matt13ross]

I'm not a solder fan.

[@famus801]

The Shot at 13:15 is Sicck! I dont think ive ever seen the Camera Glide like that overtime!

[@matt13ross]

I use it pretty often!

[@smashmclovin]

That homelink “hack” is amazing. 😁now I want a valved exhaust.

[@craigmorgan4676]

Nothing wrong with that rusted out exhaust, sounds beautiful!👌🔥🔥👍💪💪

[@matt13ross]

It looked awful lol

[@DailyDrivenClasssics]

@craigmorgan4676It sounds good on video but in reality it definetely has drone and is probably obnoxiously loud and....

[@matt13ross]

Exactly!

[@xinx-fn8973]

I’m pretty sure manual E90/E92 M3s are worth more as a lot less manuals were made for the US market, 100% worth fixing, just keep an eye on those rod bearings you should be good to go

[@momocarrepair2259]

Don’t let us wait so much for you 😊

[@vizirdefreitasjoao9940]

Merci frérot, je kiffe tes vidéos depuis un petit moment. Merci pour ce contenu force à toi. Génial ce que tu fais.🎩🎩🇵🇹👍

[@dailydriven991]

I look forward to and watch these videos on my days off to get me motivated to go wrench. So I’m 10 min in and properly motivated to tackle a quick project that’s been on my workbench for a couple weeks. Once it’s done I’ll finish this episode with a beer. Keep em coming 🤘🏻.

[@matt13ross]

Nice, get to wrenching!

[@aaronf4201]

Amazing upgrade. Perfect 👌🏻

[@gomezchris276]

I am all in with this build

[@alexmair3613]

True story! I have an e39 540i 6 speed. Bought it with a 996 mezger CASE ONLY (got nearly 10k CDN ot 7500 USD from a respective company in Connecticut). Original intention was to own a 996 turbo one day but I'm now officially an OG bmw fan boy for life. Love the video of you rowing that e90 zf gearbox!

[@vistkri]

Great video! Keep it coming my man👌🏽

[@Jagman2919]

What a great feeling when you do an upgrade and it comes out better than you expected. Awesome vid.

[@matt13ross]

Thanks so much!

[@AndresGarcia-wj3dl]

1:24 they don't burble with a stock tune and straight pipes

[@00000005547]

My N55 did, turns out it had a couple sticky injectors

[@DaddyJoe_]

@@00000005547I got an f10 n55 and I’m tryna fix a boost leak after installing new charge and boost pipes. Mine burbles some only when I downshift sometimes tho is that normal? I’m completely stock other than the new pipes.

[@brandon-cy9of]

@@DaddyJoe_Yes that is normal. Backfire or burbles are fuel coming out the exhaust after combustion and being ignited.

[@DaddyJoe_]

@@brandon-cy9of yea I figured it was normal only started when I chopped my muffs and resonator off😂

[@ChillThrillsKill]

my 328i does, its just got muffler delete and thats it.

[@996Revival]

New one sounds nice!

[@yalkhazali71]

Nice 997 exhaust on the standing desk

[@matt13ross]

Yup!

[@DaleSteel]

It's a lovely colour

[@CannonCars]

Found you through tiktok, subscribed immediately!

[@matt13ross]

That's awesome thanks!

[@jeffreybell8301]

You are my favorite channel to watch. Love keeping up with your projects, especially the Porsche projects. I’ll watch whatever you are doing though!

[@matt13ross]

Thanks for the support!!

[@bradwilliams5770]

Clean install on the exhaust. My E92 M3 came with the 2.5 muffler mod, which made it almost as loud as straight pipes. I ended up finding a stock exhaust unaltered to install. The valves are cool, but I can't think of any situation where I'd open them? Don't wanna annoy my neighbors, or other people's neighbors for that matter. And most road courses I frequent have strict noise limits(which I find funny when manufacturers call their open exhaust valves "track mode")..... Either way, the homelink hack is also neat.

[@matt13ross]

Just when you want a little extra noise to show off haha

[@chrissixfix]

Nice job!!! It looks OE.

[@Tootie27]

Great Video!

[@1gbgastowers1]

You could wire wheel that rust off the diff and exhaust hanger areas then use a brush to refinish with a rust blocker paint to clean the underside up.

[@matt13ross]

Eventually yes

[@charha01]

Nice improvement! I'm sure the house you drove by several times with the old exhaust will also appreciate the upgrade. Haha

[@matt13ross]

I think so too lol

[@marcrains3832]

There goes the wash brush again LOL!

[@matt13ross]

It's soft!!!!!? Lol

[@Trickniner]

Fun project!

[@NottJustinn]

Came from tiktok you gained a new sub brother

[@matt13ross]

Glad to hear it, thank you!

[@darklegion7780]

An m3 in this condition needs motor out change all the bearings (those on the block also) as minimum

[@Bigtigerr4774]

I was just looking for this comment. Sreten, owner of M539 restorations, gave an amazing rundown as for why. Unless Matt wants to acquire a bluetooth crankshaft of his own

[@darklegion7780]

@@Bigtigerr4774 yep but i didn't hear this from sreten only i know a guy here in europe where i live who own this kind of m3. He told me the same thing. You need to change all bearings. He's a mechanic to.

[@josemanuelperezsalcedo6170]

“Bluetooth crankshaft” is may be the top of Sreten’s humor😂 Plus, his E91 rebuild could be top of Bmw restorations!

[@qx4n9e1xp]

Foreshadowing?

[@R03333]

Part of me wonders how many of these M3's would be better untouched, so many fail after they get rods changed. "If it ain't broke don't fix it"

[@BG-ri8ww]

Noted when you show the vacuum pipe run, you’d replaced the brake lines but missed the “center” tubes. Or am I wrong?🤐 You gotta do those, they’re a pain, you’ll skin knuckles and get covered in fluid, that’s why they burst, always neglected. They’re only a few bucks, but fantastic training tool for others if you film it well.

[@matt13ross]

I actually have them, but didn't get around to installing them yet. They do indeed look like a nightmare job lol.

[@lendersbagels01]

9:26 put some eye pro on mate

[@911marcus]

Sounds nice ❤

[@thewojtek]

People wire the exhaust switch to the “Power” button by the gearstick and have it as God intended. Also, aren’t you missing the DSC Off button there? Keep up, this one needs more TLC than any of your Porsches ;)

[@matt13ross]

That's an awesome idea!

[@josephgilliard2129]

I’m sure your neighbors will be happy that you’ve changed out that exhaust.

[@matt13ross]

I hope so lol

[@coolcolschannel8773]

You should wear eye protection under the car for debris ,only get one pair of eyes can't believe all your garage sponsors haven't thought of safety 😮

[@matt13ross]

I know I know. I hate wearing them lol

[@Rippers-TV]

Running back to get the camera lol

[@diegobonnares9442]

Heat shield and zip ties… 👀 Hope they last… The car is getting there mate! Nice job💪🏻

[@matt13ross]

I saw another install doing the same with good results.

[@wernerdanler2742]

I couldn't see them very well but the electrical connectors you used to hook that up looked kinda cheesy to me. You should get some good ones, solder, and shrink wrap them. The exhaust looks good. I've heard those hose connectors always break.

[@matt13ross]

I actually haven't had any issues with them.

[@NeeshraHermes]

i think it would be better idea if you fitted the whole system in the trunk on left side like it comes from factory on bmw cars. thats where the solenoid sits and a vaccum line comes from the fron of the car to there. it was great idea putting valve system because these M3 sound so good straight piped but too loud for all the time opened.

[@matt13ross]

That would work too. But this is how they designed the kit.

[@thetoughcookie3665]

Sounds good as closed. But as open it's as bad as it was with teenager yelling "no-one is home at here"

[@brahmz]

gotta paint those caliper clips my man!

[@matt13ross]

Nah I like the contrast.

[@Chattsteezy]

Been loving this series. What's the latest with the e36? Went AWOL for awhile lol

[@matt13ross]

It's just hanging out lol. I want a CF Roof and a respray for it

[@Harley_69]

Banger of a vid 👌

[@matt13ross]

Thank you!

[@Minto107]

I noticed you have pre LCI lights in your trunk. Outer lights are LCI but the inner ones aren’t

[@matt13ross]

I just noticed lol

[@catvisimo]

enjoy your stuff, keep it up and salutations from Romania

[@myyoutubename152]

Interesting seating position. Looks like you're leaning up from the seat to shift and steer.

[@matt13ross]

I wasn't concerned with adjusting the seat lol.

[@YusufEbr]

You mentioned lack of torque. Would you supercharge it?

[@YusufEbr]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2ibZ3uvm9KMqcUsi=FDklXgdtClWVv3Bo

[@matt13ross]

Maybe once it's finished

[@damiancosta2588]

I really.like the sound with the valves closed. Is that sacrilegious?

[@matt13ross]

Nothing wrong with that!

[@Berti_00]

How much trust do you have on those quick Jack's.. I'd be scared to lay there without some jack stands or something. Exhaust looms great bro

[@Chattsteezy]

He's been using them for the longest time. I came around when he was building his E36 and he had them back then. Seem to hold up well and he's still here so no real issues it looks like lol

[@matt13ross]

They have built in safeties that lock them in.

[@Darkeiser.7]

If your throttle body actuators have not been replaced you will need to replace them

[@Weidjeep]

The wheels ruin the car wtf was BMW thinking in 2008? Also the front end looks kinda feminine, but exclude the wheels and front end it def has potential to look mean. I'm sure you'll get it perfect just like all your other builds. The yellow Porsche I didnt like until you made it right so I expect the same results here. Thanks Matt great video.

[@qx4n9e1xp]

The car does look a bit feminine, but it's fine. BMWs have always made conservative, classy cars (up until the new m3s/4s) The rims are great too. This car is beautiful, and if it's not for you, there's always the FK8 Civic Type R for something a bit more MANLY! 😂👌

[@yobama8344]

hey Matt, which brand of rod bearings did you go with?

[@matt13ross]

From turner. Their whole kit. I forget which ones though.

[@CorbinWilliams]

Looks like the VIN tag has been painted over at 8:47 😮😒

[@robertbarba3948]

Oil temp at 210 before going above 3k rpm

[@sithlord13UK]

Scotch locks?please wire things properly dude. Enjoying your content thou !

[@topherblais13gaming]

should check crank bearing and rod bearing

[@matt13ross]

Already did in another video

[@russellcurtis2825]

Great content Matt just wondering how far are you going to go with this one. Russell 🇬🇧

[@matt13ross]

All the way!

[@1gbgastowers1]

Are you saying the V8 has no torque?

[@ROMAN-oy5ju]

Oh gosh I just broke that same coolant hose on mine

[@matt13ross]

Seems super brittle

[@wwgbert]

Alright Matt, here is your reminder, did you replace the battery in your truck? You're welcome. Haha.

[@matt13ross]

Hahah you'll see in an upcoming truck video (if you watch it)

[@kristoferbjarni2114]

The paint on the car looks like the ink in a ballpoint pen 😂

[@matt13ross]

Sure does lol

[@quickliqproductions]

You know, I really need to know the name of the instrumental started at 11:33

[@imSchwaggy]

Looks like an e90 exhaust. E92 exhaust tips are longer so u don't burn the bumper.

[@matt13ross]

These are adjustable

[@coolcolschannel8773]

Code out the annoying BMW chime😮

[@matt13ross]

Will do good point!

[@michaelvicario6566]

I just realized this car has outer LCI taillights and pre LCI inner taillights lol

[@matt13ross]

Same lol

[@Fitzsanchez]

Whatever happened to the e36 v8 you had

[@matt13ross]

Just hanging in storage

[@izuaff04]

Matt made it looked easy.😂

[@jdrifts5938]

I would get rid of that rust first of all man

[@matt13ross]

That's last on the list lol

[@PilotFarooq]

You should let the exhaust tips stick out a little more, they look too far inward from stock

[@matt13ross]

You think?

[@mattportnoyTLV]

Thankfully you don’t say “rebuiwdin’” like some of these British YT car channel weirdos.

[@nonameyoutuber-l2r]

Here for the glass cleaner rattle can

[@matt13ross]

Yesssss

[@KAS470]

What’s the turbo manifold and turbo for? Also the Porsche exhaust is obvious. Did you buy another car with an inline 6?

[@matt13ross]

The E30 sitting outside!

[@roberto-pz2hs]

👍

[@clubsport_rs5]

Please replace these wire clamps and make a proper connection… 🤭😉

[@Smoresbaby27]

Yo bro they sound like that from bmw factory

[@matt13ross]

Not that loud

[@alexwalsh31]

The Torque is high jn the rev range. Your not gonna feel it short sifting at 4500 to 5000 revs 😂😂😂😂

[@matt13ross]

Right. But the opposite of my LS1 form sure.

[@alexwalsh31]

@matt13ross yeah very different, that will have plenty of low down grunt, good for around town and roll racing ( a lovely deep burble V8 noise). But now imagine YOUR on track! like the ring in germany or limerock usa, you want those long gears, and you want your torque high up, so you charge to the corner like a charging rhino. Then you Donshift "VHOOOOOP"💥💥💥 Then escape the corner mega quick and light on your toes like a cheetah. 🐆 These cars are all about the track and building up the pace slow to keep the chassis stable, but once your upto pace, its Frightening, especially when those gears keep on going, all you want do is let off. A shit load of emotion! Hey from England btw, you need twisty roads for this car. A usa Grid system will not allow you feel the emotion of this car. I can see why you get a little frustrated. But take it to the canyons and step on it. Dont be a pussy a use loads of brakes lol. Sit high in the rev range and down shift to slow down. Your be hooked!!!!!!

[@matt13ross]

Def need some good Twisties for sure!!!

[@ls6097]

lol dude, why do you have a cap on your head while you are under the car??

[@matt13ross]

Because!!

[@keithvolner930]

Ey bro is the 996 still starting a little slow?

[@matt13ross]

Nah not really

[@marklengal9990]

I really like the exhaust, looks and sounds great. Is there an option to install a switch or is it Bluetooth only?

[@matt13ross]

You could custom wire a switch if you wanted to, I'm sure.

[@asherkimball8349]

I was not a believer in the valves but after hearing them…😌

[@matt13ross]

Awesome stuff!

[@kraignadjkovic5494]

Is the Easter Egg the ‘15 year old’ or the 911 exhaust?

[@matt13ross]

15 year old?

[@bedgegaming]

Everything perfect bar the cleaning made me cringe 😂 Dont use a brush on paint work 😢

[@matt13ross]

It's a microfiber brush

[@ebewarrior]

Get the underneath dry ice blasted

[@matt13ross]

Lotsssss to fix before that.

[@bp626]

I cannot wait until you change that atrocious paint job on the E92

[@matt13ross]

Same!

[@GrowMau5]

With the amount of time you spend working in the garage, can you imagine how amazing it would be to epoxy coat the floor. Ur floor yuck. Love the videos tho.

[@matt13ross]

Just wait 😊

[@Platinum.vr30]

Wear safety glasses

[@paddyfriend3999]

If I was your neighbour I would invoice you for some noise cancelling hearing protection LOL

[@matt13ross]

Yea I do feel bad lol

[@TheGeekGuy85]

Eye protection. /smh

[@5tevenH]

You could have just fitted the electronic box right next to the exhaust valve. You made that job about 90% harder

[@matt13ross]

That's what came in the kit.

[@lightning5273]

Bimmerworld straight pipe here, you have a ricer burble tune.

[@neildolin994]

Hey Matt, don't you value your eyes? How about some safety glasses bud?

[@neildolin994]

Rusty exhaust in your eyes is no bueno!

[@matt13ross]

Yea yea

[@DaleSteel]

Sat way too low too

[@matt13ross]

Yup!

[@DaleSteel]

@matt13ross I'm suprised it's not rubbin. Mine rubs on back just from tracking been out!

[@matt13ross]

It was when it had spacers on it

[@DaleSteel]

@matt13ross the EDC sits naturally lower than standard suspension. If you run 19 inch they can rub if tracking not right. I read that on a forum and thought it was nonsense. I assumed some bushes had gone. I jacked car up 2 days ago and saw a hole In arch liner. So yeah if track is out they can rub. I'm suprised you can alter tracking on rear.

[@codykerst]

It'll have better low end torque when you put the exhaust on it.

[@sutherlacd27]

Won't change anything. That new exhaust is going to have essentially the same flow velocity
