O, I remember this pretty nice 2006 WD episode (S4 E7/8)! 👍Edd did a great job when replaced rear drop links and front suspension control arms, middle and rear exhaust sections, Canada-spec alloy wheels with factory BBS and beige cloth interior swapped with cream leather interior from donor vehicle 🚘

[@Strike86]

For anybody wondering, the original 'Canadian' (as they call them) wheels that came with the red car are Centra Type 7 16" wheels. Centra was a German wheel company eventually bought out by Ronal. They made OE wheels for various manufacturers, notably the futuristic rims for the Mk1 Renault Espace. It looks like these wheels were offered as a genuine accessory (in Germany as well as apparently Canada) because they have a BMW format part number (KBA40529). They are actually quite sought after today for their retro style, particularly in VW enthusiast circles. 5-stud ones seem particularly rare. Until I started searching I had never seen another set of these on an E24 so thought some people might be interested to know. Ironically if Mike & Edd had kept these wheels, today they might be worth more than the standard wheels they replaced them with!

[@gulfstream7235]

Thanks for the info.

[@theodor12]

Wow, even the donor car would be worth like 6k today...

[@groermaik]

Edd is the real hard worker on WD. Bring him back.

[@houseofno]

Edd has stated in numerous interviews he has no intention of returning to WD. Ant is pretty good. Give him a chance. He's not Edd China, but he's every bit as watchable, educational, and entertaining as Edd.

[@Snarl616]

@@houseofno I agree. Ant did great episodes like the M3, the Cosworth, the 1973 Celica, the 996 and the Rabbit GTi. People must understand that Ant speaks more technical because he does more thorough restorations and improvements with cars that are more sophisticated. You can fix a Capri in your shed with simple tools, but not a 2004 M3.

[@houseofno]

@@Snarl616 Buy a service manual and the proper tools. Those will fix about ninety percent of maintenance issues out there.

[@channeltv6595]

Another top tip is to keep the screws in the homes they came out from once the door card is off

[@mikee6220]

We want Edd back!

[@houseofno]

Pre-82 E24 6 series were based on the E12 5 series (first generation 5 series). 1982 to 1989 cars were based on the E28 5 series (2nd generation 5 series). Measurements and wheelbase are pretty much identical in both cars, but things like mounting points and brackets may be different.

[@leenevin8451]

I’ve never seen a pre-82. I’m surprised to hear that tho

[@SA-zoom1]

One of the best cars they ever did and and an absolute bargain

[@BennysBenz]

Those Rims were awful I'm glad they changed them!

[@doncorleon9]

They was canadian style.

[@nach0vidal]

Mike: We sold it for Free Fousand Free Hundred and Firty Free pounds!

[@gazmini81]

i love these bmws

[@houseofno]

Interesting bit of trivia about the E24: Initially the E24 was based on the first generation 5-series, codenamed the E12, when it came out for the 1976 model year. However, for the 1982 model year, the 5-series transitioned to the second generation 5-series, the E28. The E24 followed similar transition, although not a total redesign like the 5-series. However, numerous electrical, mechanical, and body changes occured on the E24 6-series, so the earlier and later parts will not interchange without modification. Hopefully this will be helpful to someone. Cheers.

[@BillyTheSKID]

Same goes for e23?

[@houseofno]

@@BillyTheSKID E23 is a different vehicle. E24 is 1977 to 1989 first generation 6-series. E23 is 1977-1986 first generation 7-series. My statement does not apply to the E23.

[@mannyfreshmusic]

Great video. I’ve been debating about a 633 csi (1983) garage kept 🤔 thinking 💭 💭💭

[@rogue13131313]

Back when the show was worth watching

[@4bimmer_ee_bmw_tuning_parts]

350pounds for e24, it was a great time, now even scrapy one is 5k

[@kevinngomez5451]

The houndstooth he took out is rare(er) and better

[@desirespecht8327]

Excellent monsieur Edd 🥇

[@MrRedcelica]

2000 grand lol and 350 for a doner car thats crazy these are in the 20's and up in Australia!!

[@TheBeansta]

true but this was almost 20 years ago! theyre a similar price here in the uk now too

[@doubledragan]

Quality cars from Europe/USA are very overpriced in Australia!

[@paulmosimanegaperamatebele2142]

Do you still have the donor car if so how much you selling it

[@mykehyslop198]

0:23.Sorry Edd,there are no rear doors on that car.

[@dillanmistry]

Everything was a bargain

[@tomandrewgrayson6131]

The work i'm doing when i get a BMW e30

[@cameronwallis7024]

They could have put the old interior and wheels onto the donor car and sell it for £200, Ed’s time doesn’t seem to be factored into the profit at all.

[@brodielounder268]

Nah I don't think my time is worth anything

[@crvenilimun5036]

You payed this 2k....Now it costs 17k+

[@bazowen]

This car is now off the road such a shame 😢😥last taxed 2015 .. guess rob didn't care

[@neilwavg]

Grown men with a crush on Edd, embarrassing!

[@tranluong7488]

đúng rồi. điều đó biết lâu rồi. cái gì cũng có mức độ tuy không khác gì quy luật sinh tồn tự nhiên, nhưng ngày nay đã khác rất nhiều. ai không biết chăm lo làm quá mức thì bị lập lại quản trị.

[@schummiehugo]

try now a BMW 635 csi... not for 2000 hahahaha

[@lee2217]

A silver car painted red wtf

[@veenoable]

Years past buy, I still can't afford a BMW?

[@d31zzz_]

Even an e46?

[@fukkingusernames]

Top tip, get someone else to do it

[@nervo6321]

Those wheels are hideously ugly...

[@Ditypo]

was this filmed by a potato?

[@ItsTimePictures]

Likely an opinion.
