I don’t know what it is about watching these videos of neglected bmws being restored back to life but I love ‘em
Me too, this has been a fun project for sure. Thanks for watching 🤝🏼
As a 135i owner, I'm so happy you're trying to save one and bring it back to life!
Of course! Before we know it, these cars are gonna be a rare sight on the road...
Loving the more comedic feel to these latest videos. They feel closer to being in the garage with friends fixing a car.
I'm glad to hear that, that's exactly what we're going for. Just some guys hanging out, having fun tinkering with cars, and sprinkling in some humor! It's been fun.
135i owner here, and I love that you're rescuing this car. They will be classics soon
Crazy to think that these cars are already 15 years old!
Feels good to finally hear that block shake after 8years stranded 😅 love from Botswana🇧🇼 Africa.
Poor girl was waking up from the ultimate hibernation. Thanks for following along from across the world!
I love seeing 135i's getting more recognition lately, such underrated and not very common, I love mine!
Agreed, they're such fun and nimble, yet potent cars. Cheers!
I really like where this is going so far. Congratulations on all large work paying off
Thanks Chris! She's gonna be ripping in no time...
use to own a 13' 135i..regret selling it back in 2021, this brings me joy seeing a 135i being restored!
I just love the whole process of super-sluething the problems of this car out.
It's definitely an adventure, that has real payoff in the end when you get things working, and could also help some of us at home with our own car projects.
For sure! It's been fun to tackle this one. I can only imagine what else we're going to find as we continue lol.
It’s always the best feeling when you bring a car back to life.
No kidding, we weren't sure what to expect and this thing just continues to impress us lol.
Your killing it my man the face when it turns over shows how happy this stuff makes you. Glad its all working out 😀
crazy how the simple things sometimes solve the issue, wish it was that easy all the time🤣
I know 😆 we were so excited, almost annoying how easy it was lol
Man I miss my 135i. This series is making me so happy! She finally runs.
Get another one! They're such great cars. Thanks for following along.
@@jake_spence i want another one! Probably not the N54 though lol mine gave me so many issues BUT WHEN IT RAN it was a blast.
Glad to see an enthusiast car saved instead of parted out. I’m trying to do the same with an Audi s4 right now. Great job guys.
Thanks man! The S4 is such a great car too, so much potential. Good luck saving her!
Sometimes it's the simplest of things! KISS is a principle to apply everywhere in life.
so happy you guys got it turned over. smile on your face was priceless. absolute best feeling in the world 😃
It was such a relief, I was defintely excited lol. Thanks for watching man!
Dudes I've been following from the start and it's so exciting that it's actually running and that it wasn't junk, looking forward to more content
Thanks Rory! This has been such a fun project, can't wait to see where it takes us. Thanks for following along.
Glad you're back on UA-cam, Jake. I've been catching up on your new videos, keep up the good work!
Feels so good to be back, and uploading consistently now. Thanks for coming back and watching Steve!
Every upgrade I have done to my 335i I have watched your videos to learn how do it. Thank you
That’s so awesome to hear, glad you’ve found the content helpful!
She lives! When knocking those wheels off thread a lug bolt in a few turns to catch it so it doesn’t fall off and damage your floor
Thats what we ended up doing on the rest. Too bad we didn’t do that on the first one 🤦🏻♂️ lol
Live and learn, now we’ve learned lol
Loving the project guys, It's just so relaxing sitting back and watching this piece of "Beauty" getting built back up!
Thanks man! It's been a fun project to dive into, that's for sure. Glad you're enjoying it!
So cool to see people taking chances on cars that everyone declined for different reasons. Happy to see it starting and "running"
Agreed, we couldn't let this one die... had to roll the dice! Thanks for watching.
Can't wait to see it driving down the road, I saved my e46 from going to the junkyard (previous owner blew the engine and was going to scrap it) and that first drive after all the hard work I put into it was nothing short of a magical experience🤟
I bet you can relate then! It's quite the feeling lol. Reviving something that would otherwise be left for dead. Crazy. Thanks for watching!
Love it when the simplest things fix it 😎 this is great watching!
So glad to see you guys got this car running!
We are too! Thanks for watching
Fun project you’re getting closer. It’s a great motor and a good handling vehicle. Hopefully you get it running soon on the road.
We're gonna have her driving in no time! Thanks for following along Steve.
Super cool to see the progress on the 135. I can't wait to see the first drive on the street!
I hope you're ready for the next video then 😀
I’m a dislexic 1M owner who couldn’t fix shit.
Love your perseverance in bringing this beemer back 2 life.
Great work.
So nice to See this car coming back to life
Agreed, she's being resurrected!
Wow guys, I didn't expect that. But I was expecting you to have enough gas in the car
🤣😂😂🙃. And I love trial-and-error videos, especially on n54s 😉. Have a great weekend. Dutch regards Nico.
We weren't expecting it either! Definitely something we'll never forget lol. Thanks for following along Nico!
I can't be the only one who noticed that the car is dirtier in the last clip compared with the rest of the video heheh. Good sign! Keep it up Jake, I love this series. Proud of being seeing you grow. Cheers from Portugal :)
Shhhh 😅 good eye...
Bro i’m so happy for you! Can’t wait to see what you do with it!!!
My dream car! I love build videos and this one is literally from the ground up, from starting it after flooding let alone sitting for years!! Keep em coming! Can't wait to see the mods starting
Thanks man! It's gonna be a wild project, I can guarentee you that... I hope you're ready for it lol
@Jake Spence I bet man! And I'm keen as!! Any hints?? Haha
idk what to comment besides love the videos as always! been following along for years now.
My guy, you’re a true OG. Thanks for following along all this time 💪🏼
Great video brother. Been following you for a LONG time. Glad to see you doing what you love. Always good to see homies succeed
You don’t know how much I appreciate that bro, thank you for sticking with the content! You an OG
Awesome Series! Excited to see where you will take this!
We're excited too! We've got some big plans for this car... buckle up 😎
Glad to see this 135i running again !
Me too! I almost couldnt' believe it lol.
hell yeah dude!! i’m hella happy for you guys i can’t wait for the build and i can’t believe it’s that low miles. an absolute beauty one of my dream cars, keep it up!
Thanks man! This is gonna be a build to remember, that's for sure 😎
Just stumbled on to this video and man the way it sounds when you give it a little gas i love it. Cant wait to see the next video and final project on how this car comes out
Thanks man! It's been such a fun project already, a rollercoaster of suprises lol. Thanks for following along...
Love this series, I’ve been invested since I saw the first one. Love the work!
Thanks for coming back and following along with the build! It's gonna be a wild one lol
Nice one dude! Glad to see its back alive
Stoked for you guys. Awesome to see this coming back to life
It's definitely cool to see it rising from the dead again, thanks for watching!
So much fun to watch! Keep it up guys.
Thanks Luis! It's been crazy fun to work on this thing and even edit the videos. Thanks for following along.
Always wanted to try my luck tackling a project like this. Good on you for the steady progress
Slowly but surely, we’re not gonna give up til she’s ripping on the streets.
Make sure you got a nice BMW repair fund😂 (I'm not a hater) just saying
Love these restorations. Keep it up
Love the content, love the series. I can’t get enough. Once I get my 135 someday, I’m definitely going to refer to your videos to make sure what I’m installing and how I’m installing it is correct. Keep it coming man. Much luv.
Thanks Eric, that means a lot! I hope you can get a 135 soon, they're such great cars. You will love it.
You don't see many of these especially in this condition in the UK so it's nice to see a full series on it getting brought back to life 👌🏼👏🏼
So stoked for this series bro!!
That’s awesome men! I can’t wait to see it rolling!!
Congrats, you got it running. I love watching people saving BMW'S. The e82's are my all-time favorite BMW'S. I am looking forward to your next videos. Keep up the good work 👏
Thanks Trey! This is my first time trying to save one from the dead, but it's been the most fun. Can't wait to keep going on it...
@Jake Spence that's what I do. I buy bmw's that have issues and fix them. The last one I got done with was an X5. At some point in time, I'll get done with the e38 750. Really, all i really wanted on that was the v12. Just keep on fixing bmw's, and they will start to be easy for you.
Man! I'm so happy for you! Makes me miss my manual 335i E92. Can't wait for changing that transfluid, bc there could be a lot of water in it and you don't want to trash the trans
Thanks man! Manual E92 335i is such a great car as well, you should get another one. Thanks for following along on this build man.
So satisfying watching it finally run
No kidding, we are so glad she's coming back to life!
Man im so excited that you got it running
Excited to watch this build thru!
You’re gonna love it, gonna be a wild ride!
I wish I were friends with you so I could work on a car haha. Always cool seeing cars go from not running to fixed
Haha, hopefully the videos make you feel like you're right there in the garage with us... that's the goal!
Cant get enough of these videos, great job!
Thanks Abdellah! Gonna upload the next one in a few days. Can't wait to keep going...
Make this 1 series a twin turbo monster.👌🏻🤔 already have the other one single turbo in the works 🤔😵👌🏻🤌🏻❤️
I like that idea, I definitely need a twin turbo beast. We’ll see!
Good luck on the build
It’s honestly how crazy easy it was to get this thing running after being flood damaged then neglected for a decade. Quite a testament to how well engineered these straight sixes are
No kidding! I wasn't sure what to expect after the VANOs solenoids were missing and the motor was exposed. But she seems healthy. Thanks for following along!
@@jake_spencewould be cool to see this thing fully restored! With a respray in a classic bmw color like silverstone metallic or Dakar yellow. Maybe interior too?
Such an underrated restore 🔥🔥
I like the way of troubleshooting, great car! Keep it up
i love this series brought BACK TO LIFE
These series are great, cant wait for the next!
Glad you’re loving it! I can already tell you the next video is gonna be a good one
Been loving this series! Another great video man, can’t wait for the next one
Glad to hear that Gels! It's been so much fun to dive back into things. You'll have to swing by sometime and check it out.
@@jake_spence would love to! Then head to roundabout for one!
@@akagels now we’re talkin!
I’m gonna follow this build, idk why I have the feeling it’ll be interesting and fun along with a lot of work but worth it! 🙏
