Today Jared tries to clean up the field of broken cars, by getting rid of one. He tears into the damage caused by the Long Beach Wall to the former Johnathan Hurst BMW E46. Why bother doing all this work when the car competed for 15 races after the accident? Because this is the Questionable Garage!

Donor cars can save you so much money! And you get to keep or sell all the stuff you didn't use for the build!

"... incredibly tight and they can store so much injury... energy." I think you had it right the first time. :)

"Why is there dog hair in my helmet??" Because you have 2 Great Pyrenees whose jobs it is to make SURE you have dog hair in all of your places and things, and to remind you that you have 2 Great Pyrenees to remind you of what their job REALLY is.

[@psychojc13]

Mountain dog shedding is the real deal, two and your life is covered in dog hair. Tumbleweeds are table stakes. But at least it cleans up easy and doesn't needle in and stick into surfaces like short dog hair. Just glad the black fur from my Berners doesn't stand out quite as much as Pyrenees white!

[@TheQuestionableGarage]

When I researched the breed everyone said they have two coat blowouts a year. What they don’t tell you is each one lasts 6 months each…

The late 80s computer music and the content was awesome, great work Jared 👍

[@TheQuestionableGarage]

Thanks a ton!

[@robertklasson5885]

Well I am about to Do restoration to my e46 -02 convertible so its great, keep up the awesome work

[@KingKeson]

What a sick project! I’ve been excited to see what you were going to do with this! I think the patch and repair is such a fun way to make this car yours and to earn your own battle scars. Best of luck in your sideways endeavors! Keep up the phenomenal work!

[@MarkVerstappen93]

Awesome project this is! I was already thinking of buying an e46 before seeing the first episode of this series, but that first episode confirmed me I needed to actually start looking for one. A few weeks ago I bought one! Its a pretty immaculate, for its age at least, black e46 Coupé. It pretty much only needs an exterior rear quarter window seal. Thanks for inspiring me Jared!

[@Kraxt0n]

e46 strut towers are prone for mushrooming which is what your "racecar" has already done. look at the M3 strut mounts (tops) and the drift build...notice the "shrooming" if your serious you should 100% add some reinforcement plates to those strut towers. a bad day when a strut pops thru the mount and bangs your carbon fiber hood...

[@bensabelhaus7288]

Looking at that design, I'm surprised the towers aren't just ripping themselves out by before they mushroom the tops. Yeesh. We used to reinforce them for impact landings causing them to blow upward / mushroom. What blows my mind is that good foot of just nothing between the towers and the firewall. So much flex for a car people scream so much about the handling. I imagine a cheap strut tower brace transforms those cars.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Great episode seeing all the struggles! Just some edu-mi-cation - rain and cold doesn't make you sick (unless its cold enough to give you frostbite) - being stuck inside with sick people makes you sick - getting cold and wet can lower your immune system so you are more susceptible to viruses - but really, just being stuck inside with other people is what makes you sick when the weather is bad.

[@nikitadmitrievich3034]

BMWs are so great, especially the old ones! It’s exiting to see you wrenching on these guys! Best of luck, Jared! I’m sure that the results will come out pleasurable 😊

[@goorgert1364]

Jared, when you drove Trihard, I suggested you take out the inner door panels to give you some maneuvering space. It makes me happy that this car will give you just that. We don't want this car to go into a wall once more just because of a lack of ergonomics. (Of course I care about your safety too, but the driver's cell will protect you.) 😁

I would be surprised if HALTECK didn’t respond to your emails. HALTECK are service driven. An Elite 550 ECU would be ideal for the 2.8 6 plus the ability to tune in real time 24 hours a day. As long as you can understand our accents.😎

[@mikebrach5412]

Jared, I see a pattern forming. You shoot videos with you doing stuff to a car, and then the next video the car is complete and you didn't shoot the full video. One of the things I like about vice grip garage, Derek shoots a complete video and finishes the project, and then publishes the video. The last one was an hour and 20 minutes, but it was complete, and I watched the whole thing and loved every minute of it. I wish you would please consider doing that on your show. p.s. I loved the Dodge hellcat tuning. That was good.

[@TheQuestionableGarage]

I do a mix, big single episodes, and multiple 30 minute builds covering each step of the process. It’s a mixture of wanting to be able to show more along the way, because a lot of the details get cut out of the process when they do single episode builds.

[@kerrylewis2581]

We have had too many rainy days here in New Hampshire lately, so I felt your pain pushing through the project.

[@krisgustoff]

This one looks like it may be a long haul. Hope you get the fun out of you are looking for! Also Honda Rousey is looking a little lonely in the back, she needs a date night.

Jared, The Donor Demo Man. Between the Honda Rousey, the 5 Chargers that ended as a Hellcat with Freddy and the Roadblock, and TriHard, of course you need a couple E46s to make a drift car. Cant wait to see it done as well as the others.

Really like the e46 coupé, but any version of it is approx 6500$ here in Denmark. You can get the 4 door all the way down to approx 1000$. And forget about getting a M3 version that is at least 28k dollars

[@backlineguy]

QUESTION please...Another great video, thanks...QUESTION: What are your thoughts on filling the new oil filter with new fresh oil before starting the vehicle at oil change time? ...and how would you fill the filter with oil on a 2010 Lexus RX350, since it uses a cannister-type filter?...Does - in your professional opinion - starting the vehicle without pre-filling the oil filter cause any damage or pre-mature wear on the engine?...would like to know your opinion. Thank you. Really enjoy your videos!

You mentioned Hercules tools. What size battery are you using. There are a couple big ones. I’m finding that small one insufficient to run the small impact I bought them with. They won’t run the angle grinder I bought at all. Just wondering how big is big enough. I bought the grinder to take to the junk yard…

[@TheQuestionableGarage]

I’ve got all but their super giant mega one, the smaller size I still get good life for the grinder, but the extreme duty batteries are where it is at.

[@joealex65]

Glad to see you working on this car again! But i have to ask, why was that Silver E46 M3 sacrificed for this? Looked like it was in decent condition 😅

[@kettudafoxyfox2351]

Idk about this. I know at least with fieros that 88 they changed the strut towers. Maybe the m3 had a different strut tower then the regular 3 series. And this was the only m3 that was cheap and worthy of doing this to. I’m not sure.

[@joealex65]

@@kettudafoxyfox2351 Nah, they are the same, the only main differences on the chassis for non M3 to M3 is the wider rear quarters, everything else is basically the same.

Put a Toyota 3RZ-FE with a turbo in the drift car, or 2UZ...

[@petetofani4896]

In a drift car, there is no such thing as too much power.

[@nukedathlonman]

This is not a no-no-no or I wouldn't do that (I'm actually not sure what way I'd go).... But I am wondering, might it have been easier to take the good undamaged body, strip off what won't be needed, then transfer the good drifty bits (roll cage, etc) from the damaged car over to it? Sorry, I don't remember all the dets of the damaged drift body.

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

Cutting the cage out to re-use it is probably mission impossible. The Drift car -prob- definitely has all the rear subframe reinforcement mods that all e46's (race car or not) eventually need too. This is easily the less labour intensive way of doing it, I reckon. That said.... I just wish an M3 chassis wasn't sacrificed, when a regular base e46 would have probably done. That said, while the e46 M3 is my dream car, this particular one is on the other side of the world to me anyway, so have at it Jared🤣 (Pls pack the m3 rear quarters in Tavarish's suitcase for when he next visits the U.K, I could do with them for my e46 ti compact project. Thanks lol )

[@nukedathlonman]

@@starfox_wr-45e93 I wasn't so much being worried about the Beamer being sacrificed (sorry BMW lovers, but I've just never been crazy about BMW's in general even though I know full well first hand that they are real drivers cars - I'm not sure why I'm not into them, I'm just not - hope it's all cool). Was only thinking given how straight it was it might have been slightly simpler in a few respects (need to re-watch the first episode this as I don't remember all the details of the mods just to the chassis -- and I aim to do that this weekend). I'm totally cool with the decision. I am looking forward to seeing Jared drifting the mad Beama around. ;-)

[@TheQuestionableGarage]

I really thought about trying to save the m3, but sadly it’s old owner attempted a repair to the floor pan with the best intentions but over cut so several the chassis was ruined.

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

@@TheQuestionableGarage No harm no foul. BMW really messed up with the floor pan of this chassis. It's a miracle there's any left with rear subframes attached. Most of them are scrap waiting to happen without intervention. Good on you Jared for trying to save one. You'll love it once it's done, they handle superbly. These were $5k cars for a long while, only now is it worth the money it cost do repair professionally, so I don't blame the previous owner for giving it a shot himself.

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

@@nukedathlonman Nah man, you like what you like. It's prob a good thing you aren't into them. Owning one is definitely "a questionable decision", and much heartache as the previous owner and now Jared found out. 🤣 I own 2 beemers of this vintage, pray for me. lol

[@c0rpse1]

cant wait to see more of this, so cool

[@mini4x]

IS that black car actually a 330, looks like a M54 and they didn't make a 328 with an M54, the E46 328 was very short lived (2 yesrs) and had a M52 which had the curvy intake runners not he boxy ones, and the 6 speed ZF would have been stock for 330Ci.

[@TheQuestionableGarage]

It was supposed to be just a transmission swap, it is certainly a 6 speed and the vin does decide to a 328, we will learn more when it comes apart

[@ShadowFox439]

wish it was done correctly to oem standards , cant really understand doing it "good enough" when you have everything to do it right , would have just been a longer video but more satisfying having it fixed the right way
