Join me and my dad on a WILD 12-hour road trip from Toronto to Quebec to pick up a NEW MYSTERY PROJECT CAR! But, things don't go according to plan... We battle BLACK ICE, a U-Haul reservation disaster, and some IMPROMPTU SUSPENSION WORK! And if that's not enough, my trusty ride (with less-than-stellar winter tires) decides to OVERHEAT on the way back! Watch to find out what happens and what the...
Moving a Container with Old BMWs

WARNING: This video contains excessive wheel spinning, mud flying everywhere, and two quirky idiots (me and my dad) trying to rotate a massive 40ft shipping container in a field! Armed with two trusty BMW X5s, some tow straps, and a whole lot of determination (and stupidity?), we embarked on a mission to spin this massive container around... because why not?! Things got real slippery, real mudd...

I just did one today. The rod was in tact so I replaced the entire valve body. Its perfect now.
Nice job giving it new life. Wish you told us the numbers break down :)
Been searching for good E53 content
We’ve got more coming!
I feel that! Falling paint rarely results in not a whole paint job 😂😮
Mannnn haha I wish we were more aware of what we were getting ourselves into 😂😂😂
You’re reunited with a wagon again. nice car man.
This one might be for my dad haha. But I’m surprised you remember that!! Thanks Dan!!
Salut 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Lets gooooo #frenchconnection
I can’t believe this actually worked haha!
nyaaahh eyyy😂 fire vid
The 4.8is alone would have definately pulled it, but with the wet ground there is no traction....I am surprised how you fit 18 inch style 74 wheels on that X5, theclearance must been like a 1mm.
Bun an E53, get a Honda like the wise men
lol so economical
Love to see it!
Bl9w it out with air.
Really nice video!❤
If there’s oil leaking, there’s oil in it lol. Keep that thing running. awesome video man
Thanks Dan!!
Great video brother!!
Nice work!
Good for you. Keeping it pure. Fix things right. Good job.
How about filling the fluid video
Thanks man for sharing this !
Having trouble with my sur suspension
Can you show in steps how to mesure heights and calibrate?
What program/tool you are using to calibrate?
I used INPA to set the ride height!
Great 👍🏼 job and explanations!
Love this video very informative 👏
I have a 6L45R transmission in a 2010 E90. My problem is it jerks from 2nd to 3rd gear. Other than that, it's normal to go down from 3 to 2. No fault code The oil is good and not lacking. Can you recommend me?
오일 관리 너무 심하게 안했네 ㅡㅡ;;;; 오일이 타 들어가서 엔진 내부 표면에 고착.....;;;;
Yes. The oil was not changed frequently enough and that’s why the inner surface looks burnt
Great sound! What's your exhaust setup?
lol honestly it’s completely straight piped. Stock headers and blown out cats and then 2 pipes all the way back. No res no muffler
Great video! I literally have a 94 530it that I'm working on restoring and I just found some crusty old 540i brake calipers for a little upgrade. So this is super helpful tutorial. Also nice touch getting rid of the casting lines. Very nice job!
Thanks Michael! I’m glad this was helpful! 530 touring sounds awesome! Pretty rare, is it manual too?
It will be a manual eventually (started collecting swap parts) . Apparently no manual tourings sold in the US, only Europe... You wouldn't happen to know if the 540 brake calipers fit on the 530 carries do you?
@MichaelTroyMooney ahhh ok ok! Nice! And they are the same. 530 and 540 share the same rotors and calipers
Oh awesome thanks so much!
69th view 👌🏾
Nice! Looking forward to more content!
Thanks Roy!

I did yes! I checked it religiously in vcds lol. You can see where it was at in my latest video ua-cam.com/video/cyq3d5c9Qkg/v-deo.htmlsi=2CvQJ8HcPwEb06t-

Hello, I just bought E34 and the secondary water pump is broken. Please explain how and which hose you connect to make bypass, if you please?
Does the ac still work??? Or am I loosing AC if I do that
The AC system itself will work but will be overpowered by the amount of heat radiating from the heater core itself. What you can do is also put a manual valve (home Depot) on the coolant line that flows into the heater core. That's what I did for a bit on my E23 lol
does this go for the e46 as well ??
Hey man great video. Do you know what the torque is for the e12 bolts when tightening them back up?
I have a X3csi that sat for 8mo. And was towed. Part of a move gone bad. 1st dash panel lights ALL on..Hard to start, tranny only engaged at 2,000rpms! Manually reset electronics and transmission a couple times. Brought new battery. $160 Walmart Engine ran smoothly but now NO gear shift. I saw a Latin mechanic YT Descride the same issue, but named part transmission range sensor .
Did not finish last post. His video was very good , yours was simple and excellent for aDiy.

have video of the aux fan setup?
You’re awesome dude the best master mechanic
Thanks for posting.
Your awesome dude a master mechanic
Excellent video, VERY well done!
I really hope my mechanic knows this. Because my car drove perfectly fine and I get home and tried to reverse and all it did was rev.
Same! Now I’m pissed!
What hid kit did yall get ?
right?
still need an answer 😭
I have a halogen version as well. Can i buy an hid assembly and install a hid conversion kit to make them work or theres no way that they will work. My assemblies are cracked so i was going to buy some new ones anyways but hid design looks way much better
Thanks for the video 👍
I have tried to change that and I was successful but it still would not going to reverse. The car reads that it's in reverse but it doesn't actually back up. My question is does the fluid have to be all the way topped off for it to actually going to reverse after I replaced it with the new part?
FIRE 🔥
SICK VIDEO BROTHER ! love the edits too !
EHH! Made a couple changes from the IG Version!
Very helpful video, thanks! I am having a problem after doing this on my 08 328xi. Got it all buttoned back up, put ~3 quarts in it, went to start it to put the rest in; and it wouldn't start. Acted like it was in a different gear other than park. Does the electronic shift selector/slider thingie need to be in a specific spot or something? I am pretty sure that I didn't mess with anything else under there... I'm nervous to put it back together again and have to rinse & repeat a 3rd time... so I am hoping for someone to help me with an "AH HA" moment! Thanks!
