I'm living vicariously through you right now... I've always wanted to do this to my 135i 😎

[@Keepinitfinance]

Do it! It will make great content!

[@thingsforfree27]

Once I’m done financing the 1 series

[@salmak9148]

I would be terrified doing this on my own for the first time! Great job guys!

Props for going that route with the quarters, I couldn’t do what you did so I went the proper route of purchasing oem wheel wells and quarters. Ordered the parts in December 2021 thru my independent and two weeks later they arrived. If I could recommend one thing, when the car is painted remove the rear interior panels/access panels and the trunk side panels/sound isolation and spray 3M cavity wax to the back side of the arches. That will help with rust forming from the inside out. You took the steps of protecting the bare metal from the outside, a lot of people don’t think about protecting the inside. Nice work overall, I can’t wait to see the car fully painted. You got my subscription.

Love to hear the body shop's opinion of yalls work! Looks solid. I can't wait for the finished product

[@G30vang]

I’m glad you guys didn’t leave the rivets to be shown! Looks way better molded

[@Simon-Jin]

Great content as always! One small note on safety though... I took a class on welding in my university, and have learnt that doing MIG welding with the nozzle that far from the surface is not gonna get you enough gas coverage. That means your welds could potentially not penetrate enough into the body material (could cause failure down the road). Just pointing it out since the welds breaking in the future could cause you serious headache with rust. Otherwise, great stuff!

[@user-gl5ld9vm7i]

Love the 135i to M conversion! Great work.

[@damo1979]

Massive respect to you Jon for challenging yourself and taking on new skills! Loving this build and looking forward to seeing the next update 👍🏼

[@bradfoster8146]

Your material is top notch dude. I'm very impressed with how much of the work you're tackling yourself

[@tejbz999]

I'm so glad you went fibreglass route helps your subscribers in the long run learn from this kind of work

[@vadersf30]

What a great video. Amazing to see what two guys can do when they just put their heads down and take the time to learn. Looks insane. Cant wait to see it!

[@gewdies]

You make this look so easy, when the time comes definitely gonna comeback and watch this. This is gonna look so good🔥

[@jimmygarcia7146]

Damn bro major props for all the hard work your putting into this build… going to be beautiful!

[@leobats14]

Wow. Incredible work. I would be so terrified to take on this project. Respect is due.

[@nofront711]

Man I really love the content, the vibes, the quality. I hope you go through the roof in the future.

[@Unamatrix01]

Fantastic job with the installation of the rear fender flares and the fibre glass work. Now you will have gain ed experience for when you install the Pandem kit on the E30.🔥

[@andreagate542]

Always putting out great content and inspiring the masses!!! How much of that shelf on the flare will you cut back and how do you enter face the wheel liner with the flare?

[@homanmaster]

You and Chris killed it bro! Keep it up and the progress and the reward at the end will be worth it! Can’t wait to see the next step

[@christopherpereira8580]

The build is coming along great especially with no experience. Keep up the good work TW

[@CarsWithKeav]

Great work so far. Awesome learning new skills hands on.

Silver on black not my taste i perfert the black apex but it s not my car...by the great content

[@kylepalmer2360]

Thanks for motivating me again bro, I wanna do sumn to my f30 😌

[@christopherpereira8580]

Did you sell the M4 GTS or do you still have it?

[@Keepinitfinance]

Yes

[@Jerome-us7jx]

What happened to the E30 build?

[@ithinkweregoingtoneedabigg8525]

I’m so tempted to cut into my newest e92 m3. Bought it with bad paint, and plenty of miles so it’s a great car to do it to. Just SO SCARED! Hopefully this motivates me

[@JD2.0N54]

Nice.. I wanna do the same to my e92 335i with e92 M3 fender flares.

[@cockysoul]

Pushing it to the limits! What a beast!

Im the only one that was dying at the reflect on the paint how funny you guys looked like cartoon vibes lol (not hating tho) im a old subscriber 🤣🙏🏽

[@Ndivhuhokharivhe]

bro, can i ask, where did you ordered your flares from?

[@thegeneral8019]

You should protect all the glass from grind and weld sparks !

[@anrs3153]

Can someone help me find the rear arches he used please ! I’m trying to get genuine bumpers / front arch / skirts but they only sell the rear as a whole panel, need to know what he used to match the rear arches with oem skirts !

[@BuiltNotBought317]

Can I ask what three products you used there in particular? The black sealer for the cuts, the spray on the bare metal, and I assume the last is just automotive epoxy?

[@REFITSTUDIOS]

When cutting do you leave the oem bracket that bolts the bumper to fender alone? Or that would also need to be cut out for fitment and a new bracket would have to be made?

[@ThicWhips]

We left it alone, I’ve seen some people cut them but I don’t think it’s necessary. I MIGHT shave it just a hair for more clearance later. We’ll see once I throw wheels/tires on

[@soberdee693]

What gauge is that material when you're welding?

[@michealewk]

Why didn't you get someone to press you metal ones

[@ThicWhips]

You say that like it’s some easy effortless task 😂 Fiberglass flares are on hundreds of cars, works fine. Look at rwb porsche

[@michealewk]

True True but I'm near damed sure there's somewhere over here in Europe that does metal ones. One good thing they won't be bubbling in 6 months from rust lol

[@thegeneral8019]

Nice result but you would have been better to get a sheet metal fabricator to make you up a pair of steel flares using the fibreglass ones as templates.

[@ThicWhips]

At that rate I’d simply buy oem quarters

[@cg-st8jd]

✊🏼🔥💯

[@MEyraud]

All this welding job to fiber glass a plastic part :/

[@ThicWhips]

It’s fiberglass not plastic.
