I bought the cheapest F90 BMW M5 Competition i could find on the internet. The mechanic who sold it me said it wasn't worth repairing, but i thought id give it a go and repair some serious structural damage! After being successful i thought it might be easy from there, but i was wrong and now the expensive part starts!

It's so nice that step by step manufacturers are checking out your work and slowly they silently decide to support you. That is really really amazing.

[@Professor-Scientist]

Such recognition can be life-changing for many, as it can provide a platform for further growth, opportunities, and success. It can inspire others to continue working hard and pursuing their dreams, knowing that their efforts may also be recognized someday. This comment serves as a reminder that with dedication, perseverance, and skill, we can achieve great things.

Absolutely tops.

Labor time/costs aren’t included though so it’s not the full picture. Labor is probably as much as the parts, if not more. He’s about the same cost of a non crashed car which would be a money loser without YT.

Knowing you it won’t remain stock and I can’t wait to see the additions you end up adding. What a fantastic channel and I look forward to the next instalment of a day in the life of Mat Armstrong. You deserve all the recognition and subscriber levels you are achieving. So many other channels are trying to copy your model, but it’s your personality and tenaciousness that make you stand out above the rest. Keep up the great work 👍🇬🇧

I'm really really new to this car rebuild you tube lot and am absolutely loving it. What has hugely impressed me is how well the on paper competing tubers work together and help each other. Matt, Tavarish, Schme (not a rebuilder but) are great guys even Whistlin who Is batshit crazy was genuinely touched Schme visited on a USA tour. Tav allowing his fellow tubers to visit and make content on his infamous flood rebuild says it all. I'm rooting for all of them to succeed.

My 2021 GX 460 didn't retract side windows when locking the car. I found out that you can make it happen with a little device sold online that needs to be installed under the steering wheel. I'm no mechanic, buy thanks to you and your videos, showing that it's not rocket science disassembling and reassembling parts of a car interior, I got the courage to open up the bottom of the steering wheel, installed the device, closed it, and like a magic trick, it worked!!! My 2021 GX 2021 now folds/unfolds exterior side windows when locking/unlocking 😂😅.

Matt you are always smiling & laughing even when things ain’t totally going your way. I don’t watch any other car menders on KZbin just you & I’m so happy you’re making it. You was working every hour possible buying a place to rent it out twice if i remember rightly? Then Hanna crashes her car you go to mend it & documented it as well which brings you to where you are today well done you deserve it you truly do! I hope you get to where you want to be & I see no reason why that shouldn’t happen & with Hanna in tow. I also respect the way you’re always giving back that’s so refreshing & it humbles you it truly does. Some of us didn’t make the right choices ending up disabled & I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me, I’ve had a good life & seeing so many different sides to it especially from abled to disabled & let me tell you this from someone who’s always on a London bus with me freedom pass they just stopped as they want evidence I still need it, we’ll some things you don’t recover from sadly. The only thing I’m sad about is I lost my bestest friend in the world my pet Staffordshire bull terrier Tyson who died 16/10/22 after 14 years together. He either circled your feet which ever one you lifted he bit or he wanted a foot w@^k so I said “STAFF” stood for Staff That As Foot Fetish. Sorry for going on I’ve had the worst case of the runs & being disabled means you can’t run to the loo so I’ve messed up twice TMI!

[@madingman]

I was the one that came up with the idea for the pedestrian sensor by using a tube and two crash pressure sensors. The sensors are similar to the pressure sensors that are used in the door cavities. I worked with designing and manufacturing airbag systems for 30 years. The hood pops up to give a cushion to the person that lands on the hood as the hood deforms. There are two types of crash sensors (pressure and acceleration) that give input to the airbag module.

[@Swedish_John_Wick]

The hose is pretty smart. Instead of having 100 sensor on the front you use a hose and 2 sensors.
