It looks like I may be in the minority, but as someone who’s been here through the whole k swap build, I drastically prefer content that has you in it describing everything. I get that you probably need to squeeze more videos out of each project, but a voice narration would really help bring this more in line with your other videos. But either way, love the build, love the channel. Just wanted to give a pinch of feedback.

[@drewski5730]

Meh something different once in a while is a welcome change too.

[@homegolfaustralia1078]

I agree. One of the reasons I watch Stance works is because I enjoy how the information is delivered.

[@ioncannonmusic]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@drewski5730Sure, if rewatching all of this footage without narration works for a majority of the audience, I’m legitimately happy for Mike to be able to get more views per project. He works hard. Just not what I’d call “a welcome change,” as far as my own selfish wants are concerned.

[@ethanyotter7874]

The occasional montage is fun! Dig it, especially for someone who has spent many a hour in a E30 engine bay. Keep it up Mike!

[@jetink600]

I'm in the "occasional change is good" camp. With that being said I guess it just comes down to however he wants to do it

[@HaloGuy467]

Watching this with a nice breakfast is so relaxing! And the music is just the cherry on top

[@BShine-ei7hn]

I really enjoy your work! I am a new subscriber that found you after that old man who was shouting at the clouds because you built a 308 with a k series. You definitely don't look to be chasing algorithms to me! Awesome work!

[@SteveKemper]

i'd like to watch said old man's angry video for some chuckles. where can i find it?

[@BShine-ei7hn]

his channel is Casey Putsch or something like that. He actually isn't a bad guy and he is not old, he has just been doing a lot of rants lately and somehow this channel got in his cross hairs because he didn't like how they built their 308 vs the factory ferrari engine. It wasn't well received by most and a lot of people called him out for it. Just funny youtube drama.

[@chriscampbell885]

I like the format of this. Awesome car, and the synthwave background music just works.

[@charlesberry4958]

Fantastic build Mike!! Your friend would be proud!

[@leonblijenberg942]

Love the channel, no fancy stuff and stupid ads or give aways! Pure and Simple! Keep it up!

[@izzatsufian2796]

E30 is the BMW of the 80s and it's always the classic European cars

[@jdwxly]

Building an E30 has always been a dream of mine. Now I have a video checklist to follow! Great video and nice format, too.

[@tobiasripper4124]

you know a channel you follow is top tier when at the end of the video you go to give it a like, only to realize you've already done that without thinking the moment you hit play.

[@mat_v]

Should be punishable by law to show the entire build and end the video without letting the audience hear the engine reving or doing some pulls, nice work!

[@racerdaveracerdave]

Bravo. Looks amazing and I bet it rips. Quite a lot of effort and the result shows.

[@snljames]

nice video and editing! it was interesting to see in this format. music paired very well too.

[@bryanmauroner3347]

Dude love it 👌❤️ Every time I see your E30 content it transports me back to the 90’s when I was blasting around in my 318is with my Alpine tape deck blaring Daft Punk 😆 in NorCal. More BMW content in 2024 🤙

[@delahayenator]

Wow! Its stunning! Perfect, how an e30 should look. You probably werent after roi, but for sure this one's got that too 😁

[@Santi_Mancini]

Awesome machine dude, congrats! 👍🏻

[@Kr6zYb33]

Great video and ever better soundtrack!!

[@jimhiscott2918]

I comment a lot. Sorry. Wow, I sure do like those Euro bumpers far far better then the usdm! Remember the thin steel bumpers on the 69-72 Datsun 510's ( I owned them both) and my 260Z. They all had the cleanest bumpers ever.......PS. love this channel ❤👍

[@AB-C1]

Nice job. My only criticism esthetically is that white gear knob, makes it look cheap. Should have gone with an OEM style M-Sport gear knob keep it looking more original/classy inside.. nice build though.. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@trekelite3943]

loved this...should make one for every project

[@SteveKemper]

absolutely love all of your videos, mike. passion like yours is the one thing no one could copy & it really makes each of your projects fun to follow. i am curious, how much time does it take to source original parts like the donor cars/motor, steering rack, etc? my assumption is that you've built up a great network over the years, but any advice on finding good parts for the rest of us?

[@Poizdrc]

Ur unique voice inflections in ur narration make your videos different from so many. Athough i really appreciated this video for its style, i really missed the verbage if im being 💯. Love the content always Mike.

[@NaEveryday]

Ive never relaxed and enjoyed my coffee more then while watching this video

[@adamodare87]

Amazing build! Would have this over any modern performance car🙏🙏

[@michaelraabe3401]

Really enjoyed the un narrated, great music only, video. Nice change up. Merry Christmas Mike!

[@Jarot]

What a vibe this video is

[@TyinAlaska]

Hey bud, as usual, it's an incredible video. Could you add a light halo or outline around the font to give it contrast for readability next time? Thanks!

[@felixjayasuria8963]

You guys make it so simple and easy😅 !!

[@williamratliffe2606]

I love this video so much.

[@moonface978]

Getting the feels with the music 🕺🏼

[@PB200559]

Fantastic, work, project and car - dream machine. Only criticism I have with the production is that the final shots of the finished car get obscured by what's coming next

[@xayantriv627]

Fire

[@nicolelongneckergallery]

First, love the new format and editing. Next, what a great build. Finally, may I ask what was the street budget for this?

[@KTK_808]

Amazing work done on that classic e30!!! Everything is perfect for that car, except that weird looking white shift stick 😅

[@SomeDayPilot13]

Now I just need to find someone with the same work ethic and build quality to do my E30 Vert. It ain’t gunna be me. Been working on cars since I was 13… I suck at it. Love watching these and thinking, I need Mike to build mine.

[@514aam]

Loved the build! But I do have to disagree in some stuff, for a perfect daily I would go for diesel, automatic and probably a lot more interior mods, sound deadening (killmat), some good audio, basic 4 speaker set up with tweeters at the front, a good amp and DSP, some clear ceramic tint to prevent heat. But diesel is the main thing, with that chassis you could be looking at probably 50+ MPG, even more if you go for a 4cyl diesel, but NVH is better on a 6cyl.

[@thokozanekubeka1172]

After all that we didn't even hear how it sounds... Nice video

[@chuckcribbs3398]

Surprised you didn’t put a K20 in it. Less weight, more HP and as you know it revs to 8400 RPM. Leave it NA and you have basically an E30 M3 EVO.

[@fabriciocarneiro3978]

@stanceworks what wheel and tire specs are you running on this? It is just perfect!

[@syygnis]

What's the background music it's awesome. The car turned out so good!

[@Viralbutnotyet]

Id daily the shit out of that masterpiece, In fact Ive wanted an e30 for a very long time and sadly never pulled the trigger yet.

[@siemprebmw3284]

love it .......

[@juliendaoust6391]

This Channel and you are awesome thanks for the great content. Could be nice to see a Subaru built in the futur. Just saying… 😊

[@Nihil1st1347]

A good summary! To me the US impact bumpers look way better, fit to the box design of the E30.

[@stanceworks]

Craziest take I’ve ever heard!

[@hcolin4165]

KOO!!!!!

[@mohmmadajore3273]

I thing the mtich1 body kit will loock great on this car

[@aaronDjVu]

2024: year of the model a 🙏🏼

[@oruckaya2217]

S50 euro single throttle system is missing .. now it's around 240-250hp,but with single throttle 321hp

[@Michael45P]

make it a BMW 324K! you need a honda engine in this thing :)

[@socom1633]

Very cool project! Come help out with my 07 Z4 E85 project!

[@angrygardener2430]

Great video of a fun fantasy build. Realistically, only a content creator should drop so much time and money into a faded E30 or any other common, faded “classic” (voice of experience here)

[@petermartin9494]

I would rather have a 4 cylinder in it for lightness. How much does the car cost after all this work?

[@davesnothere8859]

e30 needed the plaid seats.

[@jonathanbrumfiel9909]

can i have that zinno donor shell plz? i love it.

[@madscientist6843]

Would have been nice to hear it....other then that, well done

[@MrDannyZ]

8.06 and 11.50 What is the song name?

[@JustAnotherAsianGuy2]

i like it ..... but i like a 4 door one ..... i like those years

[@Om.Bewsss]

more bmw please 🔥🔥🔥

[@user-lx9jm1wo3h]

Why not an S54 engine?

[@PappyBuilt]

#CommentForTheAlgorithm

[@rych7852]

Just an observation. KZbin has a habit of predicting videos over the end of the playing video. So we don't actually get to see the car properly at 15:15.

[@stiimpoo]

"economic daily driver *2.7l engine* "💀, yeah man for sure, still a beauty tho

[@carllindgren7130]

:)

[@rogeeeferrari]

That 308 would have been a great driver, much more style...

[@Luftwoller]

WHY NO 1ST START????? WHY NO RUNNING VIDEO?????

[@Kooldood.]

Dang this foo played us. No drive and sound of the car?

[@schildster]

This build makes me want to identify as a Beamer bro

[@thetumanshow]

Using white font was a careless oversight. Can’t read the details half the time . Simple fix in the future I’m sure.

[@AlexandrGest]

😂😂😂 2.7l -120ps. 1.8l-105ps

[@JoeGuttridge95]

Didn’t come too read 😟😞

[@martynrollinson]

I really don't these 'in 15 mins' style videos? not for me... I'd rather see some bonus content than edited stuff we've already seen?

[@stanceworks]

Appreciated. But it’s not for you then :) it’s for the people those long lengthy episodes aren’t for.

[@martynrollinson]

@@stanceworks appreciate that Mike, but this stuff should go out as well as...not instead of a weekly video?? Imho...

[@adamv242]

BMW used to produce such wonderful cars...

[@Robertgio]

Video is t!ts!!! Just wished the last 3 seconds of the video was audio of the exhaust during a pull off!
