I never thought about a BMW till your shows you make it so impressive and I think your an amazing mechanic able to realize your faults to recovery correctly!!!

[@DayOffDIY]

thanks gary that means a lot! glad you're enjoying the content

[@gustavopeiterbatschauer5835]

Looks amazing, I don't think I would be able to sell a car after so much has been done. What a progress from zero to hero

[@DayOffDIY]

Thanks Gustavo! Its a little bittersweet, but i know we have lots more badass projects on the horizon

[@chrisking6740]

Just wanted to take a sec to say thanks for putting this series together! That is one clean sedan you've brought back from the dead. Coming from the NE, that car is worth 6k all day long. I vote to scoop up a wagon next. Manual swap would make for some great videos! Cheers man

[@DayOffDIY]

Thanks Chris, makes me happy to hear that people are finding value in my content. Manual swap wagon would be EPIC! im lookin everyday for a new project

[@robbalinski1606]

It definitely came around. People don't realize just how much extra money you can make just by detailing a vehicle. I turned a $700 vehicle into a $5000 vehicle and made over 3k in profit.

[@DayOffDIY]

thanks! yeah its amazing what a polish and detail can do to a car

[@cod44449]

Nice! I flipped 6 of these type of 3 series already and pretty much doubled my profits. These are a fun buy and clean up nice. Even high mileage ones can go for alot.

[@DayOffDIY]

well done! its a great platform for flipping, im a big fan of the M54. Great engine!

[@anthonygillesse7242]

I really like your videos, most BMW KZbinrs just talk about the repairs and gloss over the issues. You go through thorough explanations of the repair that help greatly thanks. Owner of a 2007 e61 🇨🇦

[@DayOffDIY]

Thanks Anthony! I try to explain as much as possible, glad you appreciate it

[@hardyschilling644]

That thing turned out beautiful. Here's a suggestion for a "bonus episode": Go to your local wrecker and fetch a new emblem for the trunk, a new lower steering wheel cover, a C pillar cover and an ashtray cover for the passenger compartment. Plus some floor mats maybe. This would make a nice episode and would help sell the car for 500 bucks extra I think.

[@DayOffDIY]

I like it! I think i might just have to do this Hardy, i pondered on your comment last night and I think we need to get the C pillar done now... :)

[@MS-we4wi]

Good luck with the sale, and thank u for saving this e46🙌

[@DayOffDIY]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

[@DoktaMokta]

Hey i saw some staining on the rims. If u really want to u could use a clay bar for it. It makes it really easy to remove the staining 😁 also some light steel wool helps to polish the exhaust tips after the whool just take some metal polish and finish up looking fiiinneee

[@DayOffDIY]

I did not know that! It’s been bothering me, I think I’m going to give that a try! Thanks for the tip Dokta

[@martymeyer4125]

Thanks, great work. My 01 325i with 273,XXX miles appreciates it.

You and me both! Thanks Manu, I really wanna take her for a drive but im going to leave it detailed in the garage for now

Thanks Derek, appreciate it big time. She should be on the road for many more years to come. Cheers!

Nice touch up it would be, if you painted the calipers in silver, and polished the exhaust tips. Nice car i miss my old, hope you sell it fast.

Wish you were keeping this car instead of the facelift! Like I said before, spitting image of the 330i I just grabbed. Looking forward to watching your channel grow!

[@DayOffDIY]

part of me wants to keep it, but I need to free up the cash i got in it for the next one, i dont have much into the other E46 and ive been having too much fun driving the manual lol, shes so sporty!

[@Mikejones51046]

Awesome transformation of this car. Good luck selling the car. Anyone who sees these videos will def buy it because of all the service done on it. Much love from Fremont ca!

BTW I've been in the hospital so I had 2 DIY videos to watch. I've also been a a consumer of stoner products for over 20 years now. BTW DIY the next time use a clay bar on the windshield to remove all the contaminates.

Stoner glass cleaner is the best, I can use on tinted windows & it's completely safe. BTW as far as making leather look new again Clyde's Leather dye & conditioner are 2nd to none.

[@motorwolfe]

wow, the 330i is looking soooooo good! you've really turned it into a sweet ride. what an amazing transformation from when you got it!! I also love the Stoner Invisible Glass and the Griot's 3-in-1 leather (you should try some Griot's Leather Restorer for really old dry leather, it's terrific). the ceramic trim shine was very good. you might want to check out Lithium Trim Serum though - it's unbelievable for trim/plastic restoration, and even works great on headlights/taillights. lubricating the door & trunk frame seals with the silicone spray is an excellent tactic, I've always done this - rubber loves it and no more squeaks. BUT there is something better --- AT-205. yup, the polymerize stuff that helps restore rubber gaskets in your engine to stop oil leaks. I don't even use it for that (it reduces the oil's ability to protect metal surfaces and separates in the oil pan within a few minutes ,after shutoff, so no thanks). what it absolutely EXCELS at is restoring anything made of rubber - just dump it in a spray bottle and you can turn back the clock on suspension and subframe bushings, steering rack bushings, rubber hoses, vacuum lines, injector seals, door seals, sunroof seals, driveline flex discs, CV boots, etc. try doing your door seals with that, let it sit overnight, and the next day you'll be amazed at how much quieter the car drives with the softer, thicker seals. just keep it away from your interior leather or clear plastics, as it can mark them if not wiped up immediately.

[@DayOffDIY]

I just took a screenshot of your comment because its full of such good info! I gotta try that AT-205 stuff out! sounds too good to be true. Appreciate the info and feedback Wolfe, youve been a pleasure to have in the comments

[@motorwolfe]

@@DayOffDIY it is but a minor repayment compared to the pleasure I've had watching your videos sir! I'll be curious to see what you think of the AT-205. forgot to mention it's outstanding on the exterior window seals between the glass & door, which always take a real beating from UV & accumulated grime. ditto windshield seals. just can't stop geeking out over this stuff.

[@DayOffDIY]

@@motorwolfe Really appreciate it Wolfe! Hopefully people see your comments and can get turned onto this stuff too!
