Reviving a €800 90s BMW - Full Rebuild in 114 Minutes!

[@martinnybo-s6o]

Really enjoyed watching your great work. Very Nice job

[@TheE46Guy]

Thank you so much :)

[@cosminchiricuta4668]

Huge improvement on youre videos keep it up !!!

[@_Project46_]

These video's show the real pain about working on cars, it's amazing to see the progression in your work, this is real life stuff on a budget and thats what makes it so great keep it going👍(PS: next time make sure to use the correct g11 BMW dark blue coolant i've seen huge corrosion problems on these BMW engines that had the wrong coolant, it causes pitting on the aluminium sealing surfaces of the head causing all kind of leaks... Trust me it can be an expensive mistake)😉

[@Ridorian95]

Beeindruckend, wie dich nichts aus der Ruhe bringt. Dein Kanal verdient mehr auf Aufmerksamkeit, so viel Mühe, wie du da reinbutterst. Weiter so! 😊

[@Sifsarmonikas]

what a great job man, you're doing everything and you're learning along. hope you have a nice 2025, and success to you so you can build your dreams.

[@TheE46Guy]

Thank you so much :) Just trying to learn as much as possible...next up fixing an engine ^^. I also wish you great success & that you reach your dreams :) We gonna make it ;)

[@puttitat2851]

Keep them coming, the work, the spirit, the editing is all top notch. I really enjoy your content!

[@TheE46Guy]

Thanks man, you really made my day! ;) I simply enjoy creating these videos. Wish you all the best :)

[@KristiansVilcans]

I learned one thing while trying to paint panels. Dont just stick tape to car, fold it so there is no sharp cut line

[@janekblutke3718]

Keep it up! Videos looking great!! Continue, you will get famous

[@TheE46Guy]

Thank you so much :) Well, the next project might be a crazy one, if everything works out ;)

[@janekblutke3718]

@TheE46Guy i will look forward to that :) you live in germany right? where exactly? maybe we could meet sometime

[@osullid100]

Very enjoyable video, thank you very much! Expertly restored car, by far the e36 is my favourite 3 series. I hope you enjoy it.🎉

[@dirkstellmacher423]

Haftvermittler wäre die Lösung gewesen. Ein gutes Video mit einer Menge Herzblut. Kannst Stolz auf dich sein 😊.

[@TheE46Guy]

Vielen Dank für den Tipp Dirk :) Es macht auf jeden Fall sehr viel Spaß ;)

[@MarvQua]

Super video! So viel Arbeit für einen Vierzylinder ist schon wahnsinnig 😅 Und die ganze Arbeit an der Hinterachse und dann keine PU Lager genommen … aber so hat jeder seine Vorlieben. Solide Arbeit und top Unterhaltung 🤝🏼 … ein kleiner Tipp am Rande: wenn du etwas rechteckiges ausschneidest, lohnt es sich vorher die zukünftigen Ecken vorzubohren. Dann flext du in das Bohrloch und hast einen sauberen Radius ohne dass du zu weit schneiden musst.

[@hywibowo8618]

Keep it up mate, the rust not as bad as your e39 restoration , nice work, cheers from Indonesia

[@asana7958]

pleasure to watch this content

[@CSI_tuning_solutions]

Gute Arbeit!

[@TheE46Guy]

Danke dir :)

[@RATADATUAVELHA]

not bad man!

[@hectorfeliciano6570]

Looks good, keep it going , enjoying the videos

[@kellybrande1049]

Fantastic job. Great to hear you are in Austria. I got married in Austria to a girl from Perbersdorf near Amstetten. I have E46 325i I restored and love it. Keep working hard. You should be proud.

[@TheE46Guy]

Thanks for all the kind words, I appreciate that :) That's sounds awesome. I am really happy for you :) What did you do to your E46?

[@RandomTubePT]

Hi Bro. Great contend. Just a sugestion... When you remove a part give a clean and a spray paint, will look 1000 better at the end. Cheer Mate

[@TheE46Guy]

Hi bro :) Thanks for the advice. You are totally right. Well, I am going to do that from now on ;) Cheers

[@RandomTubePT]

@TheE46Guy That will be great i garantee. Lets go on that project. Cheers Mate 😉💯👍

[@CzowiekDemolka]

you bringing hope for my mazda 3 BK

[@vitorsantos-us1dx]

yeah ... my a4 b6 from 2001 aswell

[@TheE46Guy]

Yeah I guess thats the typical Mazda 3 frustration. The Mazda 3 I have repaired on this channel...was so rusty. But if I can do this, you can do it too. Just make sure to stay safe ;)

[@unclebenscaradventures]

Wie immer tolle arbeit die sehr gut ausgeführt wurde. Zeitwertgerechte reparatur sage ich immer dazu 👍😁 hättest aber lieber einen rostigen 328er laufen sollen anstatt ein 316er (kann jeder sagen was er will aber die sind zu untermotorisiert 😅) liebe Grüße aus Berlin. Falls du bock hast ich verkaufe immer nich ein 540i e39 unfassbar gute Ausstattung,mussen nur wagenheberaufnahmen gemacht werden. Fur 4000 Schillinge gehört er dir 😉🫡

[@TheE46Guy]

Danke dir :) Ja ein 328i wäre auf jeden Fall interessanter gewesen. Der 316i ist wirklich lahm...Leider kosten 328i hier in Österreich ziemlich viel. Tatsächlich bin ich an einem V8 BMW interessiert, allerdings da ich in Österreich wohne kostet es mehr als ich ausgeben möchte, um ein Deutsches Auto hier auf die Straße zu bringen. Trotzdem danke für das Angebot ;) Liebe Grüße aus Niederösterreich :)

[@Sage-vr1lx]

he wie cool hab den auch auf willhaben gehen gehabt aber hab mir einen anderen e36 geholt viel Erfolg dir bei deinem Projekt

[@TheE46Guy]

Haha lustig...Kurze Frage. Findest du den Preis halbwegs angemessen? Es gibt keinen gleichen E36 irgendwo...zumindest habe ich keinen gesehen. Viel Glück mit deinem Projekt ;)

[@JonnyHatSwag]

7:54 thats NOT bad, this is literally normal bmw e36 rust. It just rusts everywhere.

[@TheE46Guy]

Well...it was just suprising finding all this rust under there....

[@Dzenyiel]

Get a paint gun, cheap pay guns are good as well just clean them properly, try to paint hole panels with the gun and try blending it in, don’t make sharp lines do curve lines it’s going to be easier to sand it down and polishing it. If you have any questions about body work, and paint jobs hit me up, maybe i can help 😁 Keep up the good work man 👌

[@TheE46Guy]

Hey there, thanks for the tips, I really appreciate them. I do have a paint gun, but tbh I didn't know where to get the colors from.😂 Maybe I should take a look from where I can get them. Thanks for the kind offer, yeah I think I'll hit you up before I am painting the next car ;) Wish you a great start into 2025 :)

[@Dzenyiel]

@ If you are close to the Hungarian border you can come across and get the paint cheaper, in Austria it’s expensive. Wish you all the best for 2025 man, happy new year 🥳

[@asana7958]

had the similar issue with fiberglass bondo, learned it's not suitable for these kind of cosmetic jobs because its too durable and takes lot of time to sand and hard to mix right, personally recommend to use classic polyester type bondo, good luck

[@TheE46Guy]

Thanks, yeah next time I'll use the classic bondo, especially when sanding by hand. It took so much time with the fiberglass...

[@androot69]

That filler is good for structural repairs not body paint work. If I'm not mistaken there is a shrinkage factor to consider. Also too much filler is a no no in many books as it can crack.

[@lordmmx1303]

try using solder instead of bondo also... paint, watch chrisfix doing rust repair and blend in paint.

[@bobfrankish8883]

I've enjoyed the video, you've done a lot of work and learned a lot in the process. I'm dropping you an e-mail.

[@derbaumwollpfluker5204]

Genau so und nicht anders mach weiter so!!!

[@TheE46Guy]

Danke dir :) Diese Videos machen so viel mehr Spaß als kürzere Parts. Wünsche dir einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr ;)

[@derbaumwollpfluker5204]

@TheE46Guy Danke dir aufjedenfall auch mach weiter mit den BMWs

[@davion5502]

Moree e36 please

[@Kleiderauge]

Ich nutze zum Einpressen der Gummilagerungen " Silikonspray ". Flutscht easy rein und gibt dem Gummi auch noch etwas Pflege

[@TheE46Guy]

Ja, das geht auch gut :) Hatte gerade keines da, daher habe ich einfach Seife genommen ^^.

[@Kleiderauge]

@TheE46Guy aber aufpassen das es frei von Tenside ist. Das mögen weichmacher in Gummis nicht so

[@kahvinorja]

I wonder if the glass fibre putty just shrank over time and cracked open? Maybe there was too much? I hate to put too much glass fibre putty because it's so hard to sand and it never spreads evenly.. also the low temperature/high humidity might make it peel off and not stick properly. For a second time putting bondo on that wasn't so bad.. it takes time and many layers to get the body lines right.. blocking with control spray etc.. and remember eyes are deceiving, feel it with hand.

[@TheE46Guy]

Thanks for trying to figure the bondo issue out. Well...I want to get better at it, so I am keeping your tips in mind. I appreciate all the tips, thanks. Wish you a nice start into 2025 ;)

[@androot69]

Shit, my father had a track piece as an anvil when I was a kid. Well, he was a train driver so that explains it. What's your excuse😉

[@TheE46Guy]

It's a good anvil ^^ I got it from my dad, but he got it from a neighbor. To be honest I don't know how he got it ^^.

[@urmaritoryoutube8559]

👍😎💪

[@vitorsantos-us1dx]

Hey, Where did you find a spray paint can with the exact color of the car?

[@TheE46Guy]

Hey Vitor, I bought it on Amazon from a company called TRISTARcolor. Just searched for the color code and name. I had some great experience with them so far. (Used their products on all cars except of the Mazda)

[@Kink3chamilian]

I saw this thing on Kleinanzeigen like a day or two ago😂😂😂, I'm in the area if you need a hand I'm keen to help

[@TheE46Guy]

Yeah, I am trying to sell it. I have a new project in mind and it's currently for sale in Linz. Thanks for the offer :) I actually do have a question. Do you know somebody cheap, who can trailer cars around? Wish you a great start into 2025 ;)

[@Kink3chamilian]

@TheE46Guy i can ask a couple of my buddies, i have access to a car trailer but no Anhängerführerschein 🤣 I'll let my friends know about the e36 for sale, couple of them want to get into cars and thr limo is a pretty good starter car 🤣🤣 if you need anything my dude let me know and I hope you had a good new years !!

[@Schafer-nz6ss]

Probier mal zinnersatz Spachtel der ist 2k nicht hydroskop wie normaler Spachtel und schützt vor rost das nehmen viele Karosseriefirmen die nicht verzinnen.

[@dovydas3288]

I hope u get better budget and save classic more

[@LukasBerg-gr1kh]

Bist du Deutscher?

[@TheE46Guy]

Hi Lukas, ich bin aus Österreich ;)

[@LukasBerg-gr1kh]

@ mach mal bitte Videos auf deutsch

[@Tenkaichibudokai22]

*Very* naive.

[@Juntasification]

? Explain yourself.

[@Tenkaichibudokai22]

@Juntasification he asked how naive he was.

[@Juntasification]

@@Tenkaichibudokai22 Ou the "self imposed" 7 day deadline. Yes very naive. It's just Ytube drama. Like he cant afford to replace a 25€ sander, but buying boxes full of parts 😃

[@TheE46Guy]

Very naive indeed.

[@lordmmx1303]

soo much whining about little bit of rust. there was a guy who did complete rebuild of floor on Mini Cooper from scratch. That car was totally rusted and he did it without whining about it. also, cardboard is better for marking up the repair spots than paper... oh and when you replaced bushings on subframe, why didn't you fixed up the rust first and paint it?

[@abitapic]

Hey i see u trying on your videos, keep going, good content🙏🏽❤️‍🩹

[@rihardpaket325]
