The most important E30 there is... and we're bringing it back to life.

[@divingboardlord]

Man Cory's e30 looks so good, the meaty tires and half cage make it look like such a weapon.

[@AidanTemplin]

Agreed!!

[@nihilistcanada]

Well it is StanceWorks.😅

[@seafoodwhoppers]

real.

[@holzwurm_hd7029]

If you can find one of his Fingerprints, you could probably make a sick Livery out of it.

[@OddBawZ]

13:19 - I had no idea that that front lip was dubbed "Jimmy Hill". Caught me off guard! Cory and yourself getting me hyped up to get my first E30, man. You're both spreading the love!

[@lemmy9996]

For non-UK viewers maybe Mike should have told where that name comes from😃😃

[@WalterNismo.]

Hey oddbawz love ur vids, are you guys going to post anything on the S2000 build?

[@youtubeuseronalot6376]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Hill ......UK football legend huge character with a huge chin to match 👍

[@Mohammed_Ahmed99]

Mike all imma say is this is what Cory would've always wanted come the time when he had to let go of these beauties, as any good car owner does. Well done on completing this beast, I don't need to tell you to take care of it

[@Shiny_Dragonite]

I don't think you're being materialistic. There's something special about being able to drive the same car as someone you love, especially if they're no longer with us. I got my grandfather's old K2500 when he passed and I poured my heart and soul into that truck. Sometimes I'd catch myself running my hands across the steering wheel the same way he did. Cars are great for keeping a lot of those small moments in mind, the little things you miss about a person when they're gone that often don't get talked about. As much as I love the Ferrari videos, I get a bit emotional (in a good way) with these E30 videos. They take me back to when I still had that truck and wished I had the time and money at the same time to restore it. Thanks for sharing this journey, Mike.

[@RogueViirus12]

I'll always be a fan of meaty fitment on cars. The quality of shine and life that has been brought back into this car looks fantastic. I've done some basic correction to mine a little while ago but this is a whole other level. This car is definitely getting the attention it deserves and I'm happy you had such an enjoyable weekend with friends and family sharing it. I swear though, every episode/the longer I'm in the discord the more you push me into liking these things too...

[@BillRyan]

There is nothing like working on a car that has a personal story to it and Cory's car is certainly that for you. What a wonderful journey this car will be on going forward. Great work!! Can't wait to see the end result and that 2 minute Button Willow time fall in the future. As for your E30 - go for the S52 motor for sure!! What a cool motor. My Step Son's dream car is an E30 and this inspires me to find one and build it with him. Thanks as always Mike!!

[@ReinhartsGarage]

The level of quality and detail you continue to turn out with this channel is honestly amazing man. It truly is inspiring. Keep killing it.

[@whos-your-mate]

God damn, that is a good looking car! Right body, right engine, right wheels, right colour 👌

[@thegametinkerer]

I think it's awesome that you would restore your friend's car in his honor. To do something like that shows how much you truly loved him.

[@johnu808]

I couldn't stop smiling watching this! The story, filming, reveal of Cory's car detailed and sitting nice with it's meaty fitment and front lip. Love this stuff!

[@erniearambula3525]

The attention to detail on this E30 build is a testament to the bond or extension of it's owner is, a car isn't just a car it's a part of who we are as it's owner, job well done.

[@beratsbuilds]

Cory had the meaty fitment dialed! His car looks awesome after your loving touches and the cut&polish

[@nope.c]

Love hearing stories like these. So glad the car was saved. Specially because of the back story.. 👍

[@mr.schwarz1676]

Man, I miss Cory. What a great dude. We swapped parts back and forth the last few years before he passed away, I believe I still have the original seats from that car as well as the Fittipaldis he used to run before the BBSs. Damn, miss that dude.

[@dave83104]

Man, Cory’s car is beautiful! My dad had the exact same color e30. Started life as an automatic 89 325is… got a manual swap, h&r suspension, nice wheels, cooling system overhaul, nice aero lip (front, rear and sides) and valve adjustment. I’m sure the list is bigger but that car ran great and was super fun to drive. I wish I woulda got it from him, and still own it. Let’s bring some more e-30 content please! ✌️ 🍻

[@trevormerrill5885]

Damnit Mike, got me a little choked up. 🥹

[@veksar]

The best cars have a story and transcend being just nuts and bolts. They become a vehicle (no pun intended) for our personalities and attitude. Ride again E30!

[@shaneblacklord3313]

I am very sorry you lost your friend. I believe Cory is up there smileing at you at any rate, you should be commended for fixiong the car for his brothers. It will get to live on, and it is all your fault! Please kknow that I am very proud to to watch your channel knowing what a good, decent man you have shown yourself to be

[@benzina5917]

Awesome tribute to your friend :) Wonderful storytelling too!

[@skitownstreetcred]

Hey man, I haven't even watched it yet, but I inherited my best friend's Jeep Cherokee project. It he had swapped in a Kubota 4cyl Diesel. I've been working on it off and on, got it running and sorta driving, but man... It's been very hard. I wish I had a little help on this one. It's a little hard. Cheers to you. This, I'm sure will inspire me to get David Finney's Jeep finished!!!

[@nicochristo1001]

As a old school bmw guy growing up in germany my whole life, I fu**ing love the series and i can attest every word you say about old bmws. They have something special about them and they dont stop letting you feel it.

[@georgebaloian8272]

Best bummer I ever had! My 86 325e 5 speed! Never let me down! Love these things!

[@cencio_1976]

Cory is smiling from up there. Thank you for this tribute.

[@codymartinblack]

I have a f80 lookin’ @ gettin’ a e30 to daily but that’s super Dope you were able to restore your best friends ride… that’s what it’s all about, it’s the emotion connection to the vehicles we all love,cars have significant sentimental values the way they can bring us all us

[@Rawkstarr1985]

Nice gesture! im sure Cory's family is very appreciative.

[@mnnm4067]

Always liked the E30s and when I picked up one out of a field and brought it back to life after 12 years of sitting, I now know why it’s named “gods chariot” I love this car and as others have said it’s apart of the family. what a great tribute to your lost friend!

[@nellyracer22]

A big came on my face the moment it fired up, always a great feeling. Also not heard Jimmy Hills chin being referenced in long time 😂

[@cwbintn8949]

Your friend would be proud of what you did to restore his ride.

[@TheDangeruss77]

Mike's videos always work wonders at motivating me when I get discouraged with my E36 project. I think it's his enthusiasm and that he's always able to break big problems into doable steps.

[@buddbuilt]

Dude! Love and attention shown to Corey’s e30 is awesome. I’m sure he’s so proud your brought her back for his brothers to remember him by.

[@goorgert1364]

I love your journey. It has been quite a while since the last time any KZbin video had something really interesting to me. I've just turned 60 a short while ago and have a very similar racy '79 wreck I'm enjoying as a project. I get it totally. Thanks for the joy.

[@harveydolden8572]

Lets talk about that white e28 in the background... lovely car! What a cool build will be great once its all running correctly 👍

[@bryan_turner]

This build series hit hard for me. I'm doing a similar resurrection to a friend of mine who passed to his vr swapped mk2 gti.

[@wayland7150]

The old BMWs are wonderful to drive. I don't know if they are good to work on or own but the way they drive makes you feel good.

[@andrewg2322]

Dude i love my 87 325e as well been collecting parts to do my own m50 swap. Such a cool way to remember your homie

[@Andrew-on5do]

Hey man sorry you lost a good friend but great job restoring their car to remember them. Thanks for the content

[@timothywolleck7628]

I love how the passenger was ready to go with a fire extinguisher. Classic BMW accessory. 😂

[@mudauzwivhuya3201]

South African 🇿🇦 views will love this Gusheshe build 🙌

[@chunkdaddy4733]

Car guys cars are a fantastic embodiment of them. Glad you got this running and looking great, for you and Cory’s family.

[@Hosenhoffen]

You're 100% right. Something about the older BMW's are just special. I love my 86 E30.

[@omawin]

I'm sitting here watching this video and seeing the IA Sticker and showcase coin from Summer 21 and feeling even more connected to this car and this channel. I'm so glad you got your hands on it to get it back up on going. RIP and Power Cory.

[@stumonkey17]

Love all your work Mike but the personal part to this really shows. A perfect tribute to a clearly great friend.

[@itstanced]

I’m a VW/Audi guy but I’ve always liked E30s and Cory’s is exactly how I would want mine to like. Congrats to getting it back on the road!

[@botiduran344]

Any object with a history to tell behind is more than a simple thing: is memory and part of a human being and the people around. A KZbin channel with soul is something else too, and your channel have lots of soul and emotion. Really enjoyed these three episodes and make me remember friends and memories... Simply, thanks

[@dirty30love]

M20 all day on your other e30. Indestructible, easy to work on, lighter than a M5x/S5x, and adding a 4.10 LSD is a blast on the streets (even highway work isn't bad). If you NEED more power then turbo the damn thing given the compression is perfect for turbo application.

[@snedenwerks]

Absolutely love your story telling ability and videography. You are on another level. Thank you for this.

[@jimhiscott2918]

I feel so bad for Korys passing and it scares the hell out if me. I to am on my way out with terminal cancer. Send Cut Sent has been si good to me along with a ton of support from Dave Cordell of Hybrid Racing. I'm hoping my build comes to an end before I do. Praying 🙏

[@GrindhousePerformance]

Your face ripping it on the streets says everything. Excited to see it at Buttonwillow 👍

[@anvifire]

Cory always had an eye for design and stance. Thank you for making this video it was epic!

[@SMUDESS]

s52/s50 with s54 itbs is so good. s52 e30 used to be my dream build

[@iggymccarthy8285]

Cara with a story are worth keeping alive! Also I was hoping you would take the Quattro to the Overcrest Rally! Hope to see you and the car there!

[@seandebottis3276]

Good for the heart story sir. Keep on living that adventure

[@williamanderson298]

I have a 1 owner 325i m tech, F plate. Lache silver finished in black leather. Chick's love it even with high mileage. Bought from Bridgegate in Derby. ❤

[@rebeccajenson2164]

Looks amazing. His brothers must be so pleased

[@nathanhewitt3920]

Love the story and everything about it. Got real feels for a white e30 now thou 😎

[@drakkoLOC]

I've just stumbled upon your channel, as a diehard og BMW fanatic, i apreciate the stuff you do to these cars. Hearing the backstory of this e30 made me want to see more from you guys. You've just earned a sub!

[@ChrisJackson36]

Great story. For the car to swap, how about an m60/m62 hybrid with a 6speed. Not too many around but known doable and can make great east driving power that sounds amazing.

[@MrUltraworld]

I'm reminded of all the cool projects you have up your sleeve. Thank You!

[@fedge1719]

I'm prepared to cry any time a Cory episode comes up.

[@MelonTL_YH2]

Cars are an extension of ourselves. Cory's essence lives on in the e30

[@FormTrends]

Brilliant story man. I’ve watched all three episodes in quick succession. I’m sorry for your loss, but this is a fantastic tribute to your friend. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@timmason5230]

Thanks Mike, vale Cory!

[@F80_Roach]

I have NEVER seen a quart of oil handled with such care!

[@polloloci21]

As a fellow e30 owner- this brings me much joy

[@jdwxly]

I'm already dreaming of building an E30 at some point and this series is just fanning the flames :-) Don't be surprised if I come around discord asking questions!

[@ryan302turbo]

wow stunning, you can see how much this car means to you!

[@markfox6741]

Jimmy Hill chin spoiler! It's been a few years since I heard that phrase... 😂 I say go for the S52, by the way.

[@ericjohnson2335]

Nicely done Mike. Great production value and great story. Looking forward to seeing the other builds progress, and seeing your time in AU with the K244. Keep 'em coming.

[@Steven-xg6ve]

Keep these coming. Out of all your videos I connect and love this series the most. I feel the love in these. ❤

[@Maltechr]

Aaaah yes.. Been looking forward to this.. This is so special.. Thats a big heart you have there Mike.. Keep up the great work!

[@PEED535]

RIP Cory, Beemer brothers for life

[@ferkle1980]

When you just know it's going to be a bitter sweet episode before you get started watching. Props Mike.

[@mnetjes9520]

Love this episode ,my father has a white e30 316i in Holland🥰 With e36 M engine is my favorit car of all time.

[@thereallotharmatthae]

Amazing work and you’re a great friend my man.

[@loganwillemse2947]

Man. I had goose bumps this entire video. Truly inspirational. Corey’s legacy is an art piece and so humbling to see it carry on even better. This series is amazing, can’t wait to see more!

[@robbiemcelwee9139]

These types of builds are the best, doing it not only for your late friend but also his family, brings so much closure to you all! A big up to everyone involved!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@laysarlizard5058]

Thank you for such a inspirating and cool video Stance, i can speak for all of your viewers we really appreciate it and your content ingeneral. My condolences, i'm glad that you have the e30 as part of him.

[@HudsonWalker-l5u]

Heartfelt and amazing progress. Thanks for sharing this story with us.. Cory is smiling from up there. Thank you for this tribute..

[@lancelaprarie6128]

Super dope as always

[@rb26sr]

Truly a sentimental piece and of course it comes with your legendary follow through. Can't wait to see it on the track breaking the 2 minute mark!

[@geoffwatches]

Man I love your content. PLEASE POST MORE.

[@1234567890CAB]

It looks like the problem was the ECU/DME and the original wiring harness was fine. You should check how the VANOS was set up in that original wiring harness or maybe even try it with the new ECU.

[@christophercarrera7486]

I hope I never have to go through a process like this for any of my dear friends but I can truly feel that these episodes are really special and I know Corey couldn’t be happier watching you guys bring his babies back to life and better than ever. Truly beautiful and a part of the car community that I love almost more than anything else in this world

[@louiev1ll3]

Man the early model taillights with euro bumper is OD. Love this build!

[@magnetysizer3400]

What a long wait for this episode.

[@Watchmedome3017]

My little cousin passed away a few years back and i have his 1990 civic hatch we where swapping an H2B when he sadly passed away and it’s been in my garage ever since. I need to get in there and finish it up for him.

[@Mohammed_Ahmed99]

Do it, that's what you're cousin always wanted

[@filipshulikov143]

And I can’t even get a text back.. respect ❤️

[@tonigon5767]

The early BMWs had an indescribable allure. You are not alone in this sentiment.

[@JDXFAB]

You are a good friend 💪❤️ not many people left like that

[@MrPlum1282]

Props to you bro. Lovely gesture and epic results!

[@TAZSOB]

Great upload and what a way to remember your brother ❤

[@Calibrumm]

a white car with grey primer touch up spots just to stop rust speaks to my soul. I just wish my white car was an E30 and not a 07 Ford Focus hatch lmao.

[@hickmanmade]

Heartfelt and amazing progress. Thanks for sharing this story with us.

[@gerekappo]

Your work keeps amazing me. Thank you for sharing.

[@someguy4576]

S52 is the move, especially if the opportunity presents itself like that.

[@macaboo312]

The story is incredible, the storytelling even better… I’m invested. Can’t wait for more. #forcory

[@briffy385]

for your m5X engines you can order aluminum thermostat housings if you dont trust the plastic ones, did that on my e36 years ago. (cyl6 sells them in europe, and maybe have an alternative for US)

[@peterx213]

S52 swap for sure!! Love the story bro. Respect.

[@coryleeboxing3047]

Haha I’m Cory and my first car was a e30 loved it 18 years old 👋
