I can't express enough, how enjoyable/interesting it is to be able to see the deliberation and collaboration involved with this project. I think most of the people watching this build are aware that there have been other S85 E46 M3's. Someone simply popping up out of the blue with a complete car and a five minute montage featuring seconds-long clips of the car coming together...that may be all some care about. But there are several of us out here that are as invested in the process as you guys are, at Driftworks. Being brought along on this journey is an incredible amount of service to your viewers. Mad props.
Ah lads, the grinding without the bumper covered killed me 😂 car looks mega, can’t wait to see this done. Also Jay looking like Willy Wonka in those throwback pics 😂
Nice Fab work Craig. Your solutions are always witty Phil. I can never see what it is you are building until I see the finished product. Keeping fingers crossed that this setup does bleed with minimal effort. BMW's are always difficult to bleed the cooling systems to begin with.
First rule: "Never paint a car before having finished it!". Yes we know, but it would be less fun at DW if they followed the rules! Nice to see some news from this V10 project, can't wait for the next episodes.
Craig goddamn it there’s something about watching someone who is brilliant at what they do and he’s on another level. It’s like he sees things in some schematic genius. Well done
Wow gosh man... This is so custom made... It's one of a kind..... Awesome stuff.. I'm so happy you did this the way you wanted it to be.. Avi in South Africa Durban
Love the radiator setup and the carbon bumper stiffner. Will the ecu provide PWM signal to the fans or will you run hi/low relay/s? And will they run in parallel with one another? Great work once again guys. Cant wait for this S85 to start up.
That E39 in the background... You know Craig, we'd like to know about that beauty as well as the VITEN ;) Fubar about that exhaust but hey, can't always have things go your way :D Hopefully, the new guys get it on quick!
Beautiful work with the radiators. Is there no need for rubber flaps on the shrouds to allow air to flow when the fans aren't running? Interested to know because I was planning to make my own shroud. Thanks
Ive done quite a bit of photogrammetry, because car bits are nice and shiny make sure you cover the surface in powder to make it matte like flour or baby powder. You can mix it with isopropyl alcohol at 60/40 so you can spray on. Then washes off with water. And I've used Agisoft photoscan and RealityCapture, RealityCapture had the best results and it was faster to process. The more pictures the better too, GL :)
Great video, liking the progress on this beast! I wouldnt worry about the bumper, I am sure you'll get some stone chips from all that track action it'll get :-)
love the vids! wonder when it's done how long it will take Phil to get carried away with it again and decides to redo stuff like building the engine haha... love this channel!!!
Great work as always, just a thought though. Would you not be better off linking the rads from bottom to top? So the hot water is forced to go through the rad rather than just along the bottom of it? The connection of the drivers side rad almost looks as if it will make the radiator redundant. 👍🏻
Phil" we're pushing it around to Dyno Torque.." Jay " and making it Craig's problem". Can't stop LMFAO. Well done, lads. Well done.( Sorry Craig). Cheers
Won`t the side radiator rear AN-16 connector run too close to the wheel on lock by the time you`ve fitted the elbow ? Worth moving it to the end tank instead ? DId I miss why the new company needs to rescan the engine bay ?
It's been tested with the fitting on the rads and has great clearance. The rescan is required to be absolutely sure about the design, as there were a few errors in the scan data and the space is so tight, it could be a really expensive mistake.
Just wondering if u can point me in the right direction - On my 2001 E46 330ci zhp My alternator fuse bolt won't detach from my Altenator, it just turns but the bolt won't come lose.???? Pls help if u have any possible solutions.. Thanks phil
It has a few questionable parts to the scan that could potentially result a very costly mistake in fabrication, so we're kind of starting from scratch with it.
it will if its left on to long, it will sweat and cause micro blistering, but for 20 mins of working in the area it would be fine, I do not doubt that you probably already knew this, just had to stick my oar in lol.
The car was already dusty so we just kept blowing dust off and it’s fine , I’ve had tape stick to paint as well . I have seen some thick cling film type stuff but cat find where to buy it ? I have the thin stuff but it’s not great ,
@@craigtaylor5075 Just trying to be helpful and cut down the cleaning up time, I am a great fan of your work and would never dream of being critical, keep up the great work that you do, if I was could have worked at your place when I was a young mechanic (now a Detailer) I am sure I would have learned a lot more than what I did.
...if you really run out of space for the 10 into 1; fit the radiator to the roofrack. Is radiant heat likely to warrant shielding for the aux belt and its pulley's? Anyway; top stuff. Carry on.
Not for a while, the car is on hold while I finish some of my other cars. When I bought it back it was under condition that it doesn't get in the way of any of my existing projects, so it's more long term.
damn, Craig's son has the same hair as Jay back in 2010 @8:21 what about that poor boy is bound to be bald in 10 years time if the trend keep on going 😂😂
It was nice of William Shakespeare to give you a hand back in 2010.

Hi I’m Drift from Philworks
🤘
Guys, this rebuild is literally the ONLY reason why i have subscribed to your channel. Please, i wanna see the BMW. 😥
There's nothing to see. The build is on hold as per the rules when I bought it back 👍
I thought Jay was Craigs lad in that old picture !
Haha, you're the second person to say that 😄
Who else wishes they had a craig next door you could just go to an ask "can you just" 🤣
This and project binky are my 2 most anticipated builds on UA-cam
👍 Both have taken 'just slightly' longer than expected 😆
@@driftworks 😂😂 true but both well worth the wait, just can't wait to hear this thing on full chat with that 10-1 exhaust. Love the channel.
Ah lads, the grinding without the bumper covered killed me 😂 car looks mega, can’t wait to see this done. Also Jay looking like Willy Wonka in those throwback pics 😂
" Nevermind the paint". Been there- done that, Phil. Feel for ya.
My favourite channel on UA-cam.
👍Thanks man.
@@driftworks massive fan mate, love all the content 👍🏻
I'm looking forward to seeing this finished, but I think I'm looking forward to *hearing* it finished even more lol
And me 🤘

Love vids about wadiators and bwackets
The rear looks absolutely amazing from the side
Cheers. Yeah it's going to be a real looker.
Wow gosh man... This is so custom made... It's one of a kind..... Awesome stuff.. I'm so happy you did this the way you wanted it to be.. Avi in South Africa Durban
A welcome return👍
👍
So much bespoke work, the shakedown is gonna be lots of fun
👍
So it turns out from the flashback 2010 footage that Jay is actually Nates dad not Craig
😂
Can’t wait to hear the 10-1
Nor me. It'll be a while, but worth the wait.
Thanks driftworks!
No problem! 👍
@Driftworks making Mondays better since.... 😂 Great vid, cheers guys
Thanks Tom 👍
9:42 - exactly what I thought...and at 10:00 also....
Great stuff. Nice to see the V10 again.
If Driftworks was a beer..... you guys are another level 💪🏻
Those radiators look great in that engine bay.
Cheers
Loveing the BMW chaps keep up the sound work
Cheers. Will do 👍

Cheers. The Pectel does yes. I'm not sure how we're going to do it yet.
Very neat, nice work, thanks.
Really enjoying watching the progress on this build.
👍
That E39 in the background... You know Craig, we'd like to know about that beauty as well as the VITEN ;)
Fubar about that exhaust but hey, can't always have things go your way :D Hopefully, the new guys get it on quick!
I'm waiting for Craig to snap after the next person says bwakets. Who will it be 🤣
He's used to it with us. The problem is that doing these videos people watching think they're his mate & say it to him 😄
I hope the 10-1 header doesn't lose too much power. Looking forward to seeing it :) 👍
About time for the E46 M3 video!!
we need an update please :)
There's no progress, so it wouldn't be a very exciting episode. The project is on hold for a while.
Do you have any more information on the bumper mount? I’ve never seen one so elegant.
Fascinating stuff! Keep it coming please :)
Thanks, will do!
What a project lads really want to see this progress
👍
Beautiful work with the radiators. Is there no need for rubber flaps on the shrouds to allow air to flow when the fans aren't running? Interested to know because I was planning to make my own shroud. Thanks
Cheers. It will definitely require some further ducting. We need to do it once the rest of the engine/exhaust work is complete.
I think drift works or dyno torque could put out a video of a rusty gate and I would enjoy it.
Maybe one day it'll come to that 😄
sick car!
Thanks!

Thanks Ben. Celeritech actually send out a full scanning kit to do that bit & it looks like it includes matting stuff 👍
Great video, liking the progress on this beast! I wouldnt worry about the bumper, I am sure you'll get some stone chips from all that track action it'll get :-)
Indeed 😎
Man cant wait to see this build finished, and on tracks...
👍I'm not saying it wont see a track, but that's not what it's built for. It's just nice a road car.
love the vids! wonder when it's done how long it will take Phil to get carried away with it again and decides to redo stuff like building the engine haha... love this channel!!!
Surely a standard bumper would have been a better option than the MattyEV one in terms of airflow given the size of the holes on each side, no?
Yep, but it should still work for my use. We'll have to see.
Love that beem dude can’t wait for the first run 🤘🏻👌🏻
Who is the big wig there behind Craig at 21:24? never seen him before in your videos lol
Craig is the big wig. He's the owner of DynoTorque next door to Driftworks 👍
Great work as always, just a thought though. Would you not be better off linking the rads from bottom to top? So the hot water is forced to go through the rad rather than just along the bottom of it? The connection of the drivers side rad almost looks as if it will make the radiator redundant. 👍🏻
They are all dual pass radiators so this setup is most efficient.
Phil" we're pushing it around to Dyno Torque.." Jay " and making it Craig's problem". Can't stop LMFAO. Well done, lads. Well done.( Sorry Craig). Cheers
I love this car, truly the craziest e46 out there! A question though, if you were to do it again, again, again would you go for an s65?
No, the S65 is a great engine, but V8's aren't unique. A high revving proper V10 engine is the next level.
@@driftworks fair play good sir, thank you for the response and also all of the epic content 👊
Craigs lad needs a video on the drift trike build !!
It’s running !! And works well ,great fun 😁
Those photos from the original build are incredible.. I forgot Jay had hair 🤣🤣🤣
😄
And about bloody time too! 😆
I assume the oil filler is that high due to the oem engine cover? Time for a shiny short billet one?
Yeah, it has to be relocated for the manifold design so it'll be kinked out of the way somewhere.
Was that a red 6R4 on the ramp to the left ? Very much looked like one.
It's Craigs Pajero Evolution project.
Won`t the side radiator rear AN-16 connector run too close to the wheel on lock by the time you`ve fitted the elbow ? Worth moving it to the end tank instead ?
DId I miss why the new company needs to rescan the engine bay ?
It's been tested with the fitting on the rads and has great clearance. The rescan is required to be absolutely sure about the design, as there were a few errors in the scan data and the space is so tight, it could be a really expensive mistake.
yaaay more vids! Love the builds :)

What happened to the 3D scan you had done ages ago?
It has a few questionable parts to the scan that could potentially result a very costly mistake in fabrication, so we're kind of starting from scratch with it.
Will there be an arch liner to stop grime blocking up the side rads/fans ? Or is it a summer ting only ?
There will likely be something, maybe just mesh as it needs the exit airflow for the rad to work.
Wrap some clingfilm over the bumper to stop it getting marked while working on the front end, but do not leave it on indefinatly.
The last car I covered in film I had to repaint !!! Not always the answer , it got damp and Distroyed the paint !!

Jay had more hair the last go round than Craig's kid has now 😬
Oh how 10 years can fly by
Did you test fit headlight AND headlight mounting bracket? Side radiator looks bit too high to clear all that..
Yeah, i mentioned in the video. We had to remove the headlight washer, but they never worked anyway.
Curious, what was the weight distribution the 1st time you completed the swap ?
I can't remember exactly, but it was pretty decent as the car still had full interior.
Phil, re your V10 exhaust, I saw this and thought of you! Check out " That V12 Miata Bruh" on you-tube for his 12-into-1 at the front system! :P
What's the story with the E39 M5 in the background?
It's an LS swapped car that Craigs doing some work on.
...if you really run out of space for the 10 into 1; fit the radiator to the roofrack. Is radiant heat likely to warrant shielding for the aux belt and its pulley's? Anyway; top stuff. Carry on.
So are the 3 rads going to be in parallel or series?
The 3 rads are actually 4. Two for each side of the engine, both double pass and both run in linked as shown in the vid.
Whaaat, you mean all this time after scan the exhaust still hasn't been started on?! Damn
It had, 80% of the work including metalwork was done. It didn't work out unfortunately.
Great vids
👍
why the trigger wheel on the water pump? i'm always looking at it..
It was there to run original crank sensor on the old set up
It was so the ABS still worked or something.
Is there a performance benefit to the 10-1 other than just looking balla?
No, I could lose power 😄
@@driftworks haha, well TVR managed to do weird 8-1 collectors at one point. It be reyt.
Hey!!! I wait for this episod 1 year❤️ e46🖤🖤🖤
BBS E88’s would look sooo good on this build.
I love 88's, but there is no better wheel for this car than the ACS Type 2s that are on it IMO.
Part 41...I think lol. Probably feels more like 141 to poor old Jay. No wonder he's lost his hair 😂
What happened to the existing scan and collector design?
It didn't work out unfortunately.
When is the next vid?
Not for a while, the car is on hold while I finish some of my other cars. When I bought it back it was under condition that it doesn't get in the way of any of my existing projects, so it's more long term.
@@driftworks cmon give us somethings to look forward to, see it back on the road in 2023?
It would be interesting to see how accurate the iPhone lidar scanner is
"Yes that is Jay" 😂
Jay!!! With HAIR!!!!
Dopest build on UA-cam. I don't care much for the Lamborghini. I wanna see more of this
Thanks. I do care quite a lot for the Lamborghini so you'll have to be patient haha 👍

For a second I thought you were going to use the lift fork on it @3:08
I was about to curse here on the comments ahaha
I move my cars with a forklift quite regularly, this one very regularly as it's a pain in the butt when they don't run.
Bugatti is like “ do you even radiator bro “
I’d be so paranoid I would’ve covered the entire car in painters tape to prevent nicks.
Seems like space would be better if the side rad outlets were on the front rather than the rear.
Maybe, but the space we have is fine. It all worked out nicely.
I take it this project has been sold 🤪
On hold while we finish the Murcielago (as per the rules when I decided to buy it back)
Making Monday bearable
Jay looked like an older Craig Jr.
I like it 😁😁😁
Next episode: ViTen get´s a full respray
The best.
damn, Craig's son has the same hair as Jay back in 2010 @8:21 what about that
poor boy is bound to be bald in 10 years time if the trend keep on going 😂😂
so younger Jay looked like Craig's son? :P
Haha, yep.
" Just RUIN it. Starkey". 😆😆😆
Hope you're going to PPF the hell out of the whole car once it is done! lol
I may do the front bumper and leading edge of the rear arches.
" Can you just". 😂😂😂
Bro what about a car meet with your M3 (when it's done complete) 👍
Jay looked like Craigs son in that pic !!! Hehe
Haha 4 people have said that now.
