EVERYTHING was going great.... Until you replaced those wheels... A GOOD wheel clean - bringing the wheels up to the same (if not very close to the finish of the new centres you bought) - would have served to make the whole project a damn fine job... Also, this video just made me miss my old E30 325i SE even more 😕
Yeah I agree. The BBS wheels were fine, maybe needed some polishing. Also the bumper to Rustoleum gloss black was bad. I probably would have done matte and then matte clear. Gloss black from a can on plastic tends to look pretty bad.
U could paint the carpet black like in other videos to give a more gorgeous finish to the interior and revest the steering wheel with some sort of alcantara-like fabric. It would totally changes the appearence of this car. And of course a set of sport lowered springs would be the last thing to perfection. Besides of that, amazing car, and amazing restoration! Keep it up! Love your videos
And old car is just an old car … until you refresh the paint and trim. Then people start to realize how beautiful these really are compared to “modern” cars. 😎
@@Daniel-mw7pu for a paint job that’s not pricey and that’s just for sanding off the paint of the panels where the dents are to fix the dents and repainting those surfaces they can be a lot more depending where you go or if you do it yourself
They didn't even remove the door handles to paint it. You can see in the after-paint close up of the door handle where the masking tape has lifted the paint edge when they pulled it off. This was made for video not for quality. They didn't even shampoo the floor carpet, just covered it. And we didn't see anything of the underside or engine work. This isn't a restoration it's a make over on the surface only.
I am literally watching all your videos as i possibly can, it's just so addictive, specially knowing that, small details can truly make a difference. I'm so confident that your channel will continue growing and hope you never change your approach towards your supporters. Keep inspiring people, just like me to do this kinda of things on their cars to rejuvenate them. Great job, keep it up!
The wheels suit the car but the arch gap, it needs addressing :D I love the old BMs, don't get to see many on the roads now so it's nice to see one saved. Nice work !
Nice Beemer! I bought a 1969 318i many years ago... It was the last year they the 2 liter 4 speed, if I remember correctly, mine had it anyway. It was a little hot rod... That is until I rolled it off a mountain side just minutes from my home while living in Haywood County NC... That's my story and I'm sticking to it 😃
You blew it! Messed the project up completely when you swapped the wheels! Great job though! I had a BMW 323i many years ago! Dangerous model to drive when breaking as it tended to swing round! Engine weight pushed down on front and made the back end too light! A known fault with them. Greetings from Thailand.
Well done on the car, but one thing I would change about the video is the amount of edits you have, when you were talking about the after market parts it cuz off at the end and the music is cut too
Very clean resto! Really came together at the end! I have an e30 and have a similar spoiler - do you happen to know if its a legit e30 spoiler, or if it's a faux replica or from another BMW? Mine was installed by the previous owner, and it certainly doesnt fit right haha.
Nice job. Looking to restore my E30 325is 1989 5sp and I saw that you bought a cover for the cracked dashboard. Can you tell me where to buy one. Thanks !
Where did you find all These Cars like this or the Fiesta ST? Do you have a website for this or you looking on the streets? Nice Videos and greetings Form Germany.
Meeeeeeen! Absolutely beautiful E30. You make really good job! But please these wheels bfff, in my opinion try to fit them classic style. For me better. But it is your own car you can make the decision xd
Solid work, looks great. I’m debating on a E30 myself. Older couple in my town have a ‘88 bmw 325i they bought new from the dealer. 86k miles. Has been sitting in their garage 5+ years since the wife stopped driving. Auto trans, Pearl white, bone stock. They’re asking $3k. Would be my first bmw. Worth it?
Love your videos. I have a 1987 Toyota Tercel dx lol I can’t find any mods for it. Like body kits or coil overs. Any idea where I can find some parts. I would really appreciate your help
I just bought a 2007 vw jetta 2.5 and it needs some work for it to run, money is tight right now and I would appreciate you helping me out to be able to have my car on the road.since I just started school for my CDL and its a 40 minute drive from my house and its kinda hard to get there now I'm from CT BTW. Keep up the good work 👏
You reminded me of an old coworker I used to have when I worked at a Toyota Honda parts department. He had bought a Jetta around the same year as yours since he like that style and put some wheels and sound system in it. Eventually he ended getting rid of it because realize just how much more expensive replacement parts were for it compared to Honda and Toyota parts. I recommend you doing the same and getting a nice reliable Japanese car that is more affordable to maintain when you are on a tight budget.
@@evoman44 yeah I thought the same thing but I ended up buying all the parts and now I'm just trying to find a mechanic. Not worrying to much because I'm finishing school on March so after that hopefully I'll be able to afford the danm euro life ,but definitely I should of stayed on my category since it easier to work on toyota and honda I used to do a lot of the things myself but this euro thing is crazy lol🤦♂️yeah I had to pull more hrs at work but she's going to be in the road soon 🙃 so hopefully after I do the maintenance and hopefully nothing crazy happens
@@Badgersbuild I see. If you can't find a euro mechanic I would recommend searching UA-cam for maintenance videos for your cars generation. It's a good way to see if it's a job you would be able to do with the tools and area you got to work with.
I absolutely hate BMW but with that being said I hate even more seeing a car left to rot away and love seeing someone give them a second chance. Car turned out absolutely beautiful.

yup, I seen him replace the bbs wheels. Those things have crazy value

Perfect Job!!! Everything great but those wheels!
true

Was expecting to see those BMW center caps put in😅
Thought it was me 😂😂 Great resurrection but should’ve left stock wheels on or some BBS 🔥🔥
@@sharpz10 the stock mesh wheels are bbs. Same style came on the m edition miata. Crazy they took those off

@@SmplBuilds Use SEM colorcoat they have aerosols, I sell it to dealers and bodyshops all the time! they use it for dashboards, carpets and even seat!
And old car is just an old car … until you refresh the paint and trim. Then people start to realize how beautiful these really are compared to “modern” cars. 😎
on god bro, if car companies just remade old cars they’d be beautiful but it’d kinda ruin it
I’m shocked at the low cost of the paint job. Didn’t know it was that affordable
macco=junk
yeah i was like wtf i paid 7k for a paint job and it was not perfect XD
@@Daniel-mw7pu for a paint job that’s not pricey and that’s just for sanding off the paint of the panels where the dents are to fix the dents and repainting those surfaces they can be a lot more depending where you go or if you do it yourself
@@Daniel-mw7pu For the love of god Daniel, where are you getting full body paint jobs under $1K hahaha.

You had me til then end but to each their own, always good to see old BMW's brought back.I had a '91 ,long gone . Good luck and long may she run.
Thanks!
Man, for a budget restore that looks really good. People knock Maaco but you just have to find a good Maaco shop.
Thanks! And yeah exactly. Wasn't the best but for the price i wasn't mad
columbus ave in Mt Vernon NY great maaco shop!

Facts I'm hooked on his videos
Clean
Literally I only have two dream cars and this is one of them. I’m in love with the car😩
This is hillarious! I bought an e36 M3 from the same guy. I have pictures of this exact car inside of that garage. white trunk and all.
I think we heard about the E36 from him 😂 small world.
Red looks absolutely gorgeous on these machines. Quite the find! And even with the OG wheels on there
The wheels suit the car but the arch gap, it needs addressing :D I love the old BMs, don't get to see many on the roads now so it's nice to see one saved. Nice work !
Nice Beemer!

Yeah his edits suck but great video
its quite inspiring how simple these are, but they change the look sooooo much
Great video I have to do the same thing and I'm thinking I may paint the carpet black
Love to see some automotive content from my home state. You guys are so underrated.
The farmer will be surprised😱
Hahahah
Whomever owned this BMW before either hated cars or hated THIS car. 😞 Glad someone rescued it.
For sure haha. Thanks!
dayumm
The transformation is sickkk
I love it
The wheels really made it a different animal.
Probably the best build on the channel
BOOM!.....nailed it!
That E-30 looks sharp with the red paint ,and black interior
Atta boy, hella clean man. Now go get your money🤙🏻
Appreciate that man!
Nice restore what sport seats did you put in the car. A Do you still have the old seats I will buy them from you
i'd kill to have an e30 to work on, you turned this car from "oh look it's an e30" to the cleanest classic beamer in the city
exactly
Very clean resto! Really came together at the end!
I have an e30 and have a similar spoiler - do you happen to know if its a legit e30 spoiler, or if it's a faux replica or from another BMW? Mine was installed by the previous owner, and it certainly doesnt fit right haha.
Really great job
That was really cool
This is Gold in South Africa
2:43-2:45 😂😂😂
Necessary 🤣
So true 😂😂😂😂
One word: Bravo!
Everything but the wheels looks great!
Absolutely perfect. Love it
Loved their auto shifter knob from this period. Unc had a silver cabriolet version
So simple yet bad ass
Haha thanks bro 🙏🏼
I like how you wash through the radio lol
NICE JOB
Thanks!!
@@SmplBuilds NO WORRIES, CHEERS
You make this look easy bro.

I want to do this. Great video
Car looks great. Maybe 1 inch lower in the front and 1/2" lower in the back but looks amazing
REALLY NICE E30. GREETINGS FROM COLOMBIA
It def needs more low, with the wide weels looks like a SUV eheheh but great job saving it!
I agree. Thanks!
I love ur videos ,all r really affordable and outstanding with small budget
That dash cover tho🤯
The car looks really nice!!
this is amazing...think youve just made my decision for me if I should get this pretty beat up one or not.
Hey, what spray did you use to clean the interior plastics at about 4:00?
This was super dope
Super satisfying video, keep those transformation videos coming!!!!
Where did you find all These Cars like this or the Fiesta ST? Do you have a website for this or you looking on the streets? Nice Videos and greetings Form Germany.

Superb

holy shit id buy that in a heartbeat
This is the best paint job I've ever seen maaco do, they usually do very poorly
Night and day difference ! Great video bro
Thank you! 😁🙏🏼
I’m really curious how you went about putting those e92 seats in there. I have some as well and can’t figure out the best way to mount them.
What interior cleaner do you use, that center console looked great after
Love this car!!!
Love the E30!!
I got a quote to repair 3 stone chips for $4500 CAD. And here you got a whole care done for $1000 USD. Unreal...
Wow nice video
damn it. i need one of these hahah. nice vid man!
Haha thanks man!
Its awoesome buddy 👏👏
Thanks bro!! 😁
satisfying
7/10 resto job...love your work...take ur time..maybe spend that extra penny or two and it'll be perfect bro
Love your videos. I have a 1987 Toyota Tercel dx lol I can’t find any mods for it. Like body kits or coil overs. Any idea where I can find some parts. I would really appreciate your help
Nice video, but what was the point of getting new center caps on the stock wheels when you replaced the entire thing anyways
Thanks. And resale value of the old wheels. Plus i wanted to see what it would look like bc i love the look of those stock wheels lol
I frickin love it
Nice job!
I was going to pick my favorite part of that car...but I can't pick just 1!
She looks good she's just sitting a little bit too high coilover / Springs 😎
Really great job on this one….
He needs to work on his transitions they suck
This thing is sickkkkkkkkkkk

I absolutely hate BMW but with that being said I hate even more seeing a car left to rot away and love seeing someone give them a second chance. Car turned out absolutely beautiful.
Yes. Just yes.
Wait did I miss something, why did you get new center caps for the wheel just to put new ones on the car
🔥🔥🔥
Looked awesome, not sure about the gloss black bumpers and gold rims though…
This looks amazing dude!!!!!! The E30 is such a nice car and this restore was amazingly good. Very nice work!
Thank you!!
Oh i wanna see more of that Crosstrek.
Theres a vid on my channel
Can you do an example of a 06 Accord LX it’s my current whip tryna do a budget project .. would be appreciated!
Check out my giveaway build video. That cost me around $700 to do 👍🏻
Great video! Could you tell me where you got your dashboard cover? I’d like to swap my current felt cover for a nice plastic one like that.
Thanks!
I love E30s
Really nice job on a beautiful car!! But those rims...?
Damn I need to start building my car …
What kinda cleaning product did you use?
Awesome, only thing left is that it needs more low
I agree
You should have agitated the carpet then cleaned it while the seats were out, otherwise, amazing!
Thanks! I did actually. Just before putting the new seats in.
