In the KZbin flesh

[@aspero23]

The Internet has spoken

[@maximmisko8821]

Good to see you back. I think the people who watch your channel love the detailed technical side of things without all the influencer clickbait crap. This series seems to be exactly the type of content why I and many are subscribed and want to see! Looking forward to it, two episodes a week would be perfect, since one episode a week equals to something like 5 months total.

[@RobertMitchell]

Yes it’s going to take some time to get them all out isn’t it??!? I’ll see about how we can speed them up without flooding the market

[@kobbetop]

Exactly, I’m also tired of channels going the easy route, mimicking each others’ clickbait titles, thumbnails and then content. There’s the window of success in that for a while but it gets old real fast.

[@RobertMitchell]

@@kobbetop you nailed it man. It keeps me off here honestly

[@andreimadalinneagu]

@@RobertMitchellRobert, I speak for myself but I believe many people will mirror my perspective on things: please don’t stop being who you are, we love your honesty and the exact way you are, please don’t change anything. I’m happy with two episodes a month if that’s what your schedule will allow. I’d be happier with one or two each week if your time and energy will allow it. Your audience is here for you and the depth with how you explain things. Keep it up!

[@mituc]

Congrats on looking 15 years younger!

[@RobertMitchell]

Feeling it too!

[@AjCHX]

Nothing on KZbin excites me more than a Robert Mitchell video. Thank you so much, Robert. I'm not in a position to do what you're able to do, so to see you do it, allows me to experience the magic around cars, driving them, building them and having fun! 🙏

[@RobertMitchell]

Really honored to hear that!

[@AjCHX]

@@RobertMitchell With regard to the number of releases a week, I think one a week would be just right!

[@RobertMitchell]

@@AjCHX I think one is pretty realistic with the occasional 2

[@samslinger16]

I'd prefer 2 episodes a week but maybe it's because I'm impatient. Regardless happy to see you're still alive!

[@RobertMitchell]

A few have said this. Maybe we will mix it up

[@OliCM3]

An absolute dream build of mine. The drivetrain, colour, seats, even the wheels - I wouldn't change a thing. I especially like the clear glass windows and exceptionally well thought out and finished interior - something that really ticks my perfection box.

[@RobertMitchell]

Thank you, I’m glad you can appreciate what we are trying to do w it

[@robertstarczewski]

Hello Robert, im glad you’re back

Tier 1 media back at it again. Looking forward to seeing more of this amazing machine.

[@DCPEvo]

It’s funny. I was just thinking about Robert last week and did a quick YT search and nothing. Now this, can’t wait. Love the concept of emotion on modern classics vs insane speed.

[@chrisg4rr377]

I see Robert has had a lightweight mod carried out too. Excited for this build

[@bryanmauroner3347]

Robert as a E46 M3 owner here in California I’m glued to this like you know what 😆 I vote for a once a week video per my opinion 👊 Also can we have a true number transparency about how much it would cost at this time to build a spec M3? The Car is Engineering Perfection and I can’t wait to see the entire build series and for the first session on the ring 👍🇩🇪❤️

[@flzmotorsport13]

Absolutely sick build! I’m a crazy e46 m3 fan, spent hundreds of hours reaserching and building mine in the look for the perfect car! I’ll be at the ring with my M3 in about 2 weeks, I’d love to see this live 😍

[@Raaa504]

"OMG, Robert has become Max now! 😂

[@RobertMitchell]

Hahahaha

[@Enzenso]

Glad to see you back, sir! Love your no bullshit, well-structured and comprehensive approach! Looking forward to this series. Nothing speaks more about dedication of a build than a driver simultaneously getting fit. One episode per week sounds great. Let your family and you stay healthy and happy

[@RobertMitchell]

I didn’t do the carbon roof on the car so I figured I better lose some weight :-) glad to have you on the channel and anything you can think of don’t hesitate to let us know. We’d like to integrate it into the videos.

[@joe5boost]

Good to see your back as your videos are very interesting and you are so good at breaking things down , looking forward to hearing all about this and seeing more . Keep up the good work .

[@RobertMitchell]

Thank you so much Joe! Excited for the first episode with some building. It’s hard to keep the voice overs on the content as we’re trying not to do vlogs so it’s going to be a fun learning and experimental curve for me

[@donovan90]

Exited for the episodes to come! Sure sounds like fun to take the time and effort to make it perfect for what you want. Will you be running an aftermarket abs system in the car? And are you going into detail on how to get all the systems working together? Idea for the E36(or just my dream): go with a Ferrari 360 V8, just enough power, lighter engine, no weight over the front axle and a hell of a noise at 9000rpm. Would maybe also make for a different drive than the E46?

[@DennisfromMunich]

So awesome to see you back and hear all these updates and see the snippets of what’s to come. I’m super hyped. I’d say once a week is a great output of the videos. The E36 build next sounds amazing! 😮 And like Misha commented I would loooooove to see the trip across the street and do some flat floor and invisible aero trickery to optimize the car while maintaining those classy lines!

[@RobertMitchell]

I’m sure we will be doing something soon! Gotta get it running first

Great video, Robert! The car will be amazing once it's finished. Looking forward to your next upload.

[@RobertMitchell]

Thank you TrapB. It’s got a good feel in person

[@mixxeerr]

BUILD SUGGESTION!! BMW 1M with the S65 engine and manual transmission. Yes it’s been done before but not in your way of a track prepped bottoms up build. Imagine an E92 M3 but 300 pounds lighter. The balance of the car is amazing and the chassis is stiffer than E46 and older M’s.

[@undy]

Love it and can’t wait for the videos! Makes me want to take my own e46 to the carwash too 😅

[@sethwhiteley5595]

Met you a few years ago now, made it out to Apex for a Taxi Lap and had a nice talk with you. I run an E46 M3 "track" prepped car in the states and deeply appreciate the depth of information/content here.

[@MilesDeluxe]

Man i love your philosophy! I am really excited for the E46 videos and i'd love to see the E36 and especially the "Clubsport" approach. I have driven many very well built track cars that were just over the top. They were exciting to drive, but only when you drove them on 10/10s. The rest of the time they were just rough and exhausting. I love the idea of a great driving, but still civilized car. It having regular TÜV is even more impressive. Thats an "art" many lost over the time by chasing higher and higher (or in case of lap-times lower) numbers instead of enjoyment. The looks are an extension of this way of thinking. Everything seems to be too extreme and over the top nowadays, while details and quality are often overlooked. It is so refreshing to see someone go the extra mile in that department. Subtle modifications, but meaningfull and with a good focus on quality. I think the Singer comparison is a good one, since they started in a similar manner. I cant wait to see the whole series and would love to see two videos per week, but i know how much work goes into that if done correctly and dont want you to stress out like so many other channels. Maybe a set schedule isn't even needed. When it's fitting (two videos on one component for example) you can fire them in quick succession and take yout time for longer ones. I am just glad about every video you put out and i cen perfectly live with "it's done when it's done". Thank you and your team for taking us with you on this great project-jouneys!

[@RobertMitchell]

Miles. Everything you wrote is what we feel about cars today and the direction the market is headed both OEM and Aftermarket. I hope this meets the exact driving characteristics we are after both on and more importantly off the limit

[@Zimmernld]

Sounds like a series Matt from Obsessed Garage could've made. Nice

[@twanvorstenbosch]

het Robert good to see you back , good to see new video's. i really appreciate the amount of small details thats in this build , and i can guarantee you wont regret taking these extra steps. a couple of years ago me and my friend rebuild (completely dissasembled , and started from the ground up) his golf mk1 (the jägerneister golf) i guess you know that car , and till this day people are amazed about the small details that went into that build. and we are just a couple of guys rebuilding the car in a shed with limited amount of tools learning while we build , so i can only imagine the level of this e46 build 🤯👌🏻 i would say do 2 video's a week , otherwise it will be 2025 before we see the last episode of this build , but hey who am i haha its all up to you to decide. i cant wait to see the next video of this e46 journey. Big Love from the Netherlands ❤

I do know the car and it’s a lot of fun!!!! I think you’re right a 5 month release could take a bit too long
