Restoring A Barn Find BMW E30 In 10 Minutes!

[@thedarkknight1971]

EVERYTHING was going great.... Until you replaced those wheels... A GOOD wheel clean - bringing the wheels up to the same (if not very close to the finish of the new centres you bought) - would have served to make the whole project a damn fine job... Also, this video just made me miss my old E30 325i SE even more 😕

[@mileslampert1622]

yup, I seen him replace the bbs wheels. Those things have crazy value

[@Immashift]

Yeah I agree. The BBS wheels were fine, maybe needed some polishing. Also the bumper to Rustoleum gloss black was bad. I probably would have done matte and then matte clear. Gloss black from a can on plastic tends to look pretty bad.

[@citizenfour9622]

And old car is just an old car … until you refresh the paint and trim. Then people start to realize how beautiful these really are compared to “modern” cars. 😎

[@mikehunt5926]

on god bro, if car companies just remade old cars they’d be beautiful but it’d kinda ruin it

[@LucasCbassBR]

U could paint the carpet black like in other videos to give a more gorgeous finish to the interior and revest the steering wheel with some sort of alcantara-like fabric. It would totally changes the appearence of this car. And of course a set of sport lowered springs would be the last thing to perfection. Besides of that, amazing car, and amazing restoration! Keep it up! Love your videos

[@SmplBuilds]

Thanks man!

[@TuOsitoDemonio]

@@SmplBuilds Use SEM colorcoat they have aerosols, I sell it to dealers and bodyshops all the time! they use it for dashboards, carpets and even seat!

[@DKendrick1]

I’m shocked at the low cost of the paint job. Didn’t know it was that affordable

[@keithpearson5903]

[@Hellofadrive]

yeah i was like wtf i paid 7k for a paint job and it was not perfect XD

[@yesno7363]

@@Daniel-mw7pu for a paint job that’s not pricey and that’s just for sanding off the paint of the panels where the dents are to fix the dents and repainting those surfaces they can be a lot more depending where you go or if you do it yourself

[@rushnerd]

@@Daniel-mw7pu For the love of god Daniel, where are you getting full body paint jobs under $1K hahaha.

[@Mike_Costello]

They didn't even remove the door handles to paint it. You can see in the after-paint close up of the door handle where the masking tape has lifted the paint edge when they pulled it off. This was made for video not for quality. They didn't even shampoo the floor carpet, just covered it. And we didn't see anything of the underside or engine work. This isn't a restoration it's a make over on the surface only.

[@pablo.posadas]

Perfect Job!!! Everything great but those wheels!

Was expecting to see those BMW center caps put in😅

[@sharpz10]

Thought it was me 😂😂 Great resurrection but should’ve left stock wheels on or some BBS 🔥🔥

[@donthecon]

@@sharpz10 the stock mesh wheels are bbs. Same style came on the m edition miata. Crazy they took those off

[@mrlafayette1964]

You had me til then end but to each their own, always good to see old BMW's brought back.I had a '91 ,long gone . Good luck and long may she run.

[@SmplBuilds]

Thanks!

[@T12i99iN]

Man, for a budget restore that looks really good. People knock Maaco but you just have to find a good Maaco shop.

[@SmplBuilds]

Thanks! And yeah exactly. Wasn't the best but for the price i wasn't mad

[@dereckc9469]

columbus ave in Mt Vernon NY great maaco shop!

[@bryanaguirre8252]

I am literally watching all your videos as i possibly can, it's just so addictive, specially knowing that, small details can truly make a difference. I'm so confident that your channel will continue growing and hope you never change your approach towards your supporters. Keep inspiring people, just like me to do this kinda of things on their cars to rejuvenate them. Great job, keep it up!

[@ExabyteAU]

Facts I'm hooked on his videos

[@lukiekeyz]

Red looks absolutely gorgeous on these machines. Quite the find! And even with the OG wheels on there

[@urboibrawler_m5456]

[@CrowJam]

its quite inspiring how simple these are, but they change the look sooooo much

[@S3ni0rCit1z3n]

The wheels suit the car but the arch gap, it needs addressing :D I love the old BMs, don't get to see many on the roads now so it's nice to see one saved. Nice work !

[@maggie9348]

This is hillarious! I bought an e36 M3 from the same guy. I have pictures of this exact car inside of that garage. white trunk and all.

[@SmplBuilds]

I think we heard about the E36 from him 😂 small world.

[@franklinfocus]

The wheels really made it a different animal. Probably the best build on the channel

[@EnriqueLopez-hb5jn]

That E-30 looks sharp with the red paint ,and black interior

[@sebastiandiaz996]

Love to see some automotive content from my home state. You guys are so underrated.

[@revelationakagoldeneagle8045]

Nice Beemer! I bought a 1969 318i many years ago... It was the last year they the 2 liter 4 speed, if I remember correctly, mine had it anyway. It was a little hot rod... That is until I rolled it off a mountain side just minutes from my home while living in Haywood County NC... That's my story and I'm sticking to it 😃

[@1992Hendrik]

you mean 1989 ?

[@______304]

The farmer will be surprised😱

[@SmplBuilds]

Hahahah

[@senianns9522]

You blew it! Messed the project up completely when you swapped the wheels! Great job though! I had a BMW 323i many years ago! Dangerous model to drive when breaking as it tended to swing round! Engine weight pushed down on front and made the back end too light! A known fault with them. Greetings from Thailand.

[@ericgunnyporter8964]

Great video I have to do the same thing and I'm thinking I may paint the carpet black

[@infinitesolutions3048]

[@jacksonably8598]

Well done on the car, but one thing I would change about the video is the amount of edits you have, when you were talking about the after market parts it cuz off at the end and the music is cut too

[@williamhoitink3658]

Yeah his edits suck but great video

When he painted the bumpers black I died inside. The IS sport seats that came with the car are worth money even it’s the condition they were in aslong as the foam was still intact.
