Hey. After you swapped injectors and fired it up and revved it, you can see sparking beside your intake pipe/ throttle body on the right. Might be plug wire/ loose/cut harness connection which could have rubbed on something. I dunno but double check your footage. In between 10:02 - 10:06 you'll see it! Hope that helps
Yo seeing Jimmy, Cleetus, Adam, David, and Taylor today and all the other cool car youtubers at the LZ meet just joking around and having a great time, was totally worth going. These guys are a cemented part of the car community who wil inspire people for years to come. Thank you
@@alexstromberg7696 Yeah it doesn't matter, Jimmy only did the M52->S52 swap because he has too much free time and money. I have an M badge on my 328i because it's more or less an M3.
Everybody in the comment section that's saying "take it to big boost shop" obviously don't watch this channel, Jimmy is the guy that they call when people's cars mess up
Thanks for throwing me on the video my guy. (Yours truly, JOEY PUGS!! I pumped your gas in New Jersey).Lol Stoked to make it into the final edit. Thanks so much man. Anything for the "CONTONT"
Walter Sobchak well said. Let me put it in car guy. “ WHAT!!?? NOT THE E30,anything but the mf E30... and B Hall ain’t in attendance. Thumbs down! ”, Am I correct?
I had a bmw just like that. 87 325 etta. Old lady owned, 92k miles, garage kept. Literally same color, interior, and had the same front valence. Except mine was a coupe. It was fun while I had it
IM SO IN LOVE WITH THE E30. Its my favorite car in all of UA-cam. It's dope af. The stance is on point, sounds great, and I'm sure it's a blast to drive!
I am quite positive you have a faulty or failing timing belt or timing belt tensioner. It only messes up when you are at high RPM when it start slapping causing the Missfire.
Several people have said it, and I'm gonna say it too, but there's an arc under the intake. Around 10 minutes in, when you're revving it look down at about 4, o'clock from your right hand and you can see it
Jimmy it’s running smooth at idle. Your misfire sounds like it’s at high rpm. Run down the harness to see if you have resistance on that harness compared to the other cylinders. Also spray the manifold inlet back there to see if the gasket is leaking on that cylinder. Also GRAB BIGBOOST AND DRAG HIM TO YOUR S52 for 5 minutes. You got this it sounds like something stupid!
No way, i also have a 4 door sedan e30 and had the exact same engine problems last week! Tested everything, then eventueally we also came down to the compression test to find out 1 cilinder was dead..... Had do tow it home 4 hours from the nurburgring to home, sad times
You ever check your MAF. Cause for whatever reason BMW tend to do random misfire for no reason. I have rktune on my E36 and whenever the cars cold and you burble tune or back fire it tends to idle rough for a bit then it goes back to normal.

Good eye!
I seen it as well. Hopefully jiimmy sees this post or caught that while editing.
That's an amazing spot! Little things like that are horrible to diagnose.
Eric Jelier yooooo thank you!!
Eric Jelier I was gonna sayyy lmaoo
Dude the E30 is so good. Can't wait to see it!
Why does every Jimmy O road trip vlog have mid 2000's skate vid vibes?
Because of the Torrington Time Warp
haha agreed. but its really cool! I miss it!
Professor Oaks just has that OG vibe🦾🔰
@@potatomonkey99 I had to google that thought it was a skate movie. Lmao youre all crazy
i love the road trip vibes!
So weird seeing jimmy with glasses
They look sick. He rocks them
Gucci jimmy
You’ll figure it out. And if not your right next door to the BMW Experts of PSI.
I'm here for you young grasshopper
When jip said “LISTEN I HAD TO WORK AND I HAD TO POOP!” I felt that.
"that's not safe" - drives down the highway with his legs over his shoulders!

"Thatdudeinblue breaks my s52 swapped E30 at adam LZ's shop"
its an S52 mate
@@gopensgo1996 thanks
sleepyyy p 😂 your gd right!
@@gopensgo1996 the S52 is more or less a m52 so doesn't matter.

Jip is my favourite character
Least you didn't say rjay
Watching in 2024 just cause I love reruns
Love it when you go visit Empire LZ
maybe check all harness connectors? vibrations from the trip on the trailer do freaky stuff with cars sometimes
Essentially he dildoed his harness
Pete Zatyme 😂
You can definitely see some serious arcing under the intake at full rev. Gotta be a wire or exposed connection for sure!
i love the road trip vibes. wish you all the best for your e30. have fun in sunny florida - enjoy the beach, enjoy the sun!
You tube algorithm sucks, this channel should've been at least at 500k subs a long time ago.
Francois Franceschini he'll definitely get there 👍

dungmaker superb
Because that squid in blue is in the video
DSM Keoni Fair enough 🤔🤣
I really hope you get it fixed!
Great video Jimmy and crew

At least you're at a place that has a Big Boost mechanic... Just be careful or you'll be Turbo'd
Good luck homie you got this
Its cus your named the red hatch the (cherry hatch) and not Jimmy's red rocket
Lmfao
I peeped 93.7 on the radio solid moves .....I’m from buffalo ny and that’s our station lol
Keep your head up brother
Best of luck fixing it
Jimbo's making a movie, Hell Yeah. 👍🔥🔥
Be careful and have fun
That sparking underneath the intake ! :O
Adam, inspiring everyone with the stache.. 👌
I did the same thing after my gf left me in 2016 lol grow a mustache and buy a bunch of project cars
Good luck Jimmy! Would be awesome to see David review the e30 if you get it hitting
Wild. I go to the sheetz where y’all met Aidan all the time lol 🤘🏼
You will figure out Jimmy👍
I knew Mike and Jimmy knew each other, but never Mike turn up in one of Jimmy's video. I missed this one.
Mike Devine is my favorite narc.
damn bro lol
Good luck jimbo
Hope you get it fixed. That blows
Turn the tow haul button off when over 30-40 MPH. Causes more pressure build up in the trans. Would suck to blow it up on the drive down or back.
Nice edit jimbo 🔥😘
That dude in blue looks like a 2017 grillo
love the music
Check the wiring going to the coil and injector. Maybe youre missing a ground or theres a break in a wire
hey the American Dream! I'm building that!

Oddly satisfying road trip video...I think it was the background music
Injecter driver chip in the ecu could be bad or a wiring issue check that your pins in the connectors are making contact and not loose
10:08 when you rev it you can see a spark like a bad ground under the intake by the throttle body.
I pass that rest stop on the jersey turnpike every day 😂😂
Love you jimmy. 🙃
my bimmer blew up, cylinder 2. it had good static compression but running compression was only 20psi
surprised that you didn't blame the accidental limiter bounce when you took it off the trailer lol.
Maybe it’s the harness? I’d follow the wires back for everything that leads to cyl. #6

This vid is wholesome as fuck
A/f ratio, Connecticut is higher in elevation then fl. Lower state cars usually make more power cuz denser air
No way, i also have a 4 door sedan e30 and had the exact same engine problems last week!
Tested everything, then eventueally we also came down to the compression test to find out 1 cilinder was dead.....
Had do tow it home 4 hours from the nurburgring to home, sad times
i feel you man my compression tester and i have a terrible relationship. it’s 0-40.
Sending good Bavarian anti-misfire vibes
keep chasing the spark down the line....
you Need the original intake bridge from the m3, the 3.0l have 286hp and 3.2l 321hp from the e36 M3 from Germany!!!!
10:26 yeah!! It dose!! 😭😭😭
the music made a normal road trip seem like a sentimental event
Maybe some water (from the trip) in the spark plug chamber..
Love me some Mpars on e36!!
1:47 jeez that guy in the bmw was on your ass
Get a volt meter and test your injector wires for resistance (ohms)
I believe in you!
Have y’all been to the distillery in your area yet👀
Cylinder 6 always the first to go
10:06 arcing next to your hand
Don't try to act like you were the one who spotted it when it was already commented an hour before you.
Definitely did see it what do o have to prove to you i even waited till i finished the video to make sure he didnt notice it before i commented🤣🤣🤷
Maybe elevation differences is playing a part on the tune? You check your grounds? Just kidding much love, you will get it figured out!
BROOOOO clean ya got dang windows. They looking like jip had an incident in there.
I want to see Jip and Shullman adventures together.
Your crazy , for that drive
Check coil pack harness the male and female connector come apart all the time
Cylinder six coil pack ground? Injector ground? What does the comp. say the duty cycle is on the injectors? Does it vary by injector?
+Jimmy Oakes have you checked the ground on the engine? or chassi?
Yo bearded Mike looks like Berkey from old Haggard days

What part of VA? I live in Chesapeake. Actually like not even 5 min drive from Mike Vargas shop
I mean... idk how far away they are, but why not get a hold of your buddie Jack at HPlogic. Throw her on the dyno and just see what's going on
Just sleep on it bro I’ll come to u in the morning
Jimmy with metal glass frames is such a weird thing to see
Check the TPS!
For sure bent valve. Happens all the time even with compression looking as it does.
Race car life bummer 💪
*builds a nice reliable car
Jimmy- hold my beer
Loose grounds from it bouncing on the trailer and when you rev it the ground shakes
Could it be the tune not playing nice in the warmer temps?
Pretty that Burt Reynolds himself came on the road trip with ya! @mikedivine
The tuck is slow but taking 18 hour trips in one go is so much better. Just bang it out and get it over with.
Jip at 3:40 had me dead
I had a similar issue and my haltech ended up being messed up
Have a civic build off with rudnick!!
12:13 You didn't say you changed the HT Leads
We're in Georgia guys. Next clip driving into South Carolina. 🤣🤣🤣 "that's not the sign I'm lookin for." 🤣🤣
