You saying that this Bilstein (i believe its B14) is harsh. I just bought Bilstein B16 for my E46 330Ci but havent install it on car yet. I believe all coilovers gonna be harsh as they stiffer than regular suspension, just some are less or more harsh. I thought if you want something more on "plush" side then you go for company like Bilstein, am i gone wrong with that choice? You had some coilovers in your life like Eibach (that also was E46), BC Raicing and probably much more. How you compare that to Bilstein? Im really curious now.
@@przemysawwalenciak348from what I've seen in the automotive circles , eibachs are suited for street cars.
I have a e46 detachable tow bar for sale
Is there a part 4?
James is a legend and all round top bloke. Way back in 2006 I crashed my E36 328i Sport on some ice in the car park at work in Swindon. James worked at BMW back in those days and despite barely knowing me sorted the parts to fix it, drove to Swindon after work and helped (well, didn’t 99% of it!) to get the car back on the road. He then came back again a week later to help me fix the bumper up a bit better! One of my biggest regrets about no longer owning a BMW is I can’t take my car to him. Although I have tried to convince him to get into Porsches 😄
A good mechanic is like a unicorn. After years I found a good one. I went in because my oil light was on and he looked, filled me back up and didn't charge me a penny. But he doesn't want to put a v10 in a z4, so these people I think will be my best bet.
Maybe you need a BMW
Seems the UK is blessed with a lot of cheap BMWs. In the America, BMW means "Bring more wallet." because parts are outrageous. And we also don't seem to have miles of BMW junkyards like the UK seems to have, hence there are no sub-$1,000 BMWs, in the USA, that run. A used Porsche in the USA seems like the way to go for a fun European sports car. Yeah, parts are expensive. But, I know a few guys who daily drive 996s and 997s and all they ever do is put gas in it and change the oil. Everyone I know with a BMW loves the car, but hates the repair bills.
@@minxlabradae46 isn't that expensive to fix I'm in North America too and never had problems finding anything I needed for mine and mine is a zhp. So don't share some of the same parts as a regular e46. You are right that we don't have the junkyards full of them like in Europe but we do have some. I agree that the newer cars are more expensive for parts but if you can do your own work it isn't that bad. I have a f30, e60, e70, g80 as well. So I'm speaking from experience..... my experience.
@@minxlabradaparts are cheaper here because theres a whole boy racer culture surrounding these type of performance bmw so a lot of m sport cars are crashed and sold for parts
Where is the rest of the build series? This is just getting good!!!!!
I’m impressed with the price of the strengthening plates he’s selling.
Absolutely, handmade parts by experts for $500 dollars is a great deal. Sure you can have someone mock them up at the local machine shop for less but they don't have any idea where to begin. Always consult the guys with experience.
Again I don't know how many gullioble people there are out there but a plate costs peanuts the guy is cashing in big time
@@benpenguin7382r&d mate
@@robfodder5575 The plates are unnecessary in the first place, if a vehicle needs strengthening in order to do a successful engine swap you buy a sheet and weld it up accordingly. The price of the kits they are selling is reasonable I agree but you’ll still be paying for something that isn’t really needed. I’ve done several m swaps without needing plates. I’ve also done e36 m3 with rb25det and still never needed plates only necessary mounting brackets etc… and as for you saying an m car isn’t for me… erm the car he’s working on isn’t an m car 😂 the only thing that is “m” is the engine which isn’t even in the car yet
Free shipping anywhere in the world almost sounds like a scam
Well... I now have to go and check the underside of my E46 again thanks to renewed paranoia after seeing barney on the lift there. It's a 2000 318i with about 150 000km. It's very clean and original and I'm trying real hard to keep it in top shape. It still has the original factory fitted boot lid gas struts and they still work. Even the factory cassette player still works. And yes, I actually have some cassettes...
Been looking forward to more videos on this series can’t wait for this to be finished
i love swap builds like this. my daily is a swap of this sort, a standard 2.0 mk3 golf 5 door, i fully swapped to vr6, including all wiring, interior, lighting, full front and rear chassis (has 5 lug hubs and huge brakes). it was a model that was never available in the US, basically a Golf GLX (since it's not a GTI)
You could do it yourself in a day and actually experience it first hand. UA-cam annoys me becuse the creators make out it's "such a big job" when in reality it's about 3 hours work to swap an engine and all the other stuff especcilay in this video is pointless rubbish just to create another video and make them out to be really good. When really all you need is 2 cars or 1 good one and an engine and that's it! none of this other crap. Just drop the engine and send it. Calls himself a car guy and then fannys about 😆
@@ghomerhust But it's still a golf
@@benpenguin7382 3 hours to change a tyre never mind an engine man 😂
@@benpenguin7382 how many engines have you swapped in 3 hours mate?
Redish are the best in the business, was worried for a second it would be a bodge but this is going to be a keeper. Also keep the colour!!! I ❤
Brilliant, the guys at Redish are the best and I admire their work! A collaboration made in heaven
We finally have progress can't wait to see the next episode 👍👍
James is brilliant, back a few years now built my E36 328. Genuinely someone that knows his stuff!
At this rate, Car Vertical should just sponsor a full show series with Alex, Rory and Taylor.
Nice to see someone fix a car the right way here on yt.
I wondered why the name was so familar, Redish Motorsport, have their own youtube channel of the work they do, it's quite a sight to see the end results of their customers cars looking so clean on the underside.
Those guys work is amazing
Watch these guy's on UA-cam and I only ever see hands pointing out rust on beemers and the good work they do,good to finally put a face to the voice
Finally, a face to the voice 😂 been watching these chaps for a while the work is the best in the business
I'd love a full feature length video of M3 Touring journey when it's finished!!
This company is the bollocks of modernish car restoration, a big 👍 from me.
Fantastic, i so needed an Auto Alex update on a Friday. Thank you@!! Sets up the weekend proper
Love the build , I have a 330d that needs love and attention and these episodes give me SUCH BRILLIANT IDEAS. Keep at it Alex, you are educating the world!
Amazing build Alex, great to see you promoting the community of highly skilled experts too…an e46 m3 touring in technoviolet with oem+ upgrades sir?!…you’ll be as happy as a dog with two d**ks when this is finished! ❤️
There's just something so satisfying about listening to a guy that knows his stuff and does top quality work on a car, proper job through and through, this is going to be epic when it's complete 🤟
Bunch of legends. Love this kind of dedicated detailed work!
Great episode! James really knows his stuff and is a natural infront of the camera. Explained everything so well!
I use Redish for my f82 and they're a bunch of legends. The highest quality work. If you have an m car and are in the SW you should be using them. This should be a great build.
Good to see you back on 4 wheels
I was ready🍹But an entire episode without a "happy days"... I need to invent a new Friday night drinking game😂 Can't wait to see the finished Barney!!!
5:03. Drink!
@@paultravers3709 well spotted!! thank you😂
YES!!!! FINALLY!!! IVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE THIS CRAZY THING TAKE SHAPE!! Love you Alex and will always dream of visiting the UK, Europe in whole, Australia later, even Japan.
That guy looks like he knows his stuff, looks like the M3 is in safe hands ! Cheers
This is awesome! Redish fella is amazing, his knowldge is mind-expanding! keep it going ALEX!
So correct me if I'm wrong but the wheels probably need to go... before they are just laying around I would be very happy to stick them on my 330d Special Edition Sport here in Germany 😂
Jokes aside... I can't wait to see the finished project and will follow the process!
So glad to see this project again, I can't wait for the M3 Touring to be complete.
ok i now can put a face to the voice on the videos ive been watching and drooling all these years. top noch guys
Great video. I’m looking forward to seeing the the old beast back on the road. Cheers for the fun video.
Excited for part 4!
Im getting really good at skipping car vertical plugs at this point. I know just the right number of double taps on the screen to skip the whole thing as quickly as possible! 👍
It’s the automotive version of Rick-rolling
The quality of work Redish do is insane
I've been watching Redish motorsport for years on YT, these guys are the best!
Perfect timing! Was just wondering about getting an update to this
Anxiously awaiting the next update. I'm putting a zhp motor in my wagon in a few weeks. Loving all the knowledge being shared here!
I love James in this video, great lad! Greetings from an long time fan from The Netherlands!
Have a great weekend all!🎉
Awesome, gona have to have a e46 M3 Touring face off with Calvins car diary when they're done! That would be a good watch.
Can't wait to see it finished after a proper job. Is going to be amazing in that purple color with the M3 looks
Is there any video with this car finished published yet?
Yeeees that's the detail we wanted to see! lovely
James provides the most detail about your car you can ever imagine, highly recommend!
love to hear an update on this!! cheers adam
Great project, great people, great video. Thanks, Alex.
Love watching dudes like this work who just know everything
This man is doing the lords work. You have gained a sub
Love this project ! I need to do this to my touring as well ! Great content ..
Thanks for not slapping an advert on the end of the car vertical bit 😊
Awesome build things are just getting better
That's sick. Been subbed to them for a long time now.
The segment in the "Boot" just needed an "Im soo scared right now quote"and it would have been a great Blair Witch Project reference. You should call this the Barney Switch Project!
Love how Knowledgeable and Humorous James is!
Deeply satisfying, watching that metal work happen.
As a mechanic I love seeing the timlapses of the work done. Unfortunately, not a lot of shows allow that to be shown 💯💯💯 defo makes people understand the hard work that goes into it
British engineering excellence, Jameses depth of knowledge is fantastic as is his sense of humour 👍🏻🏴
Need another part upload!!
Finally! I can't wait to see more eps (please don't make us wait months)!
Very nice video! Awesome shop at Redish!
good video, editor must have been pissed when he heard your audio!
This is gonna be a gorgeous car when it's completed
This is turning out to be an awesome project, gotta get myself an e46!
@Redish motorsport know there stuff, watched so many vids and they are fire with bmw
Straight on it, made my night
Too work, nice to see it being done proper 👌.
I subscribed immediately!! I didn’t know you had your own channel!!!
Cant wait to see the final results of this build
Super video. However that CSL is absolutely stunning.
We had a black z4 m coupe for a while, it was fun while it worked XD the previous owner had the engine fail on him (due to poor maintenance and lack of knowledge of what such a car requires as attention...) and had the crankshaft "replaced" cheaply meaning that the shop just tried to rebalance it XD after doing a full rebuild we swapped it for a 1100whp Audi S2 which we broke 5 gearboxes with before selling it. Currently working on an E34 M5 which is receiving a m30b35 engine with a turbo pushing about 650hp at low boost, then a e21 with a m50b25 turbo engine around 700hp and a e30 m3 which has been kept N/A for the time being at around 400hp but might end up swapping to a s38b38 depending on how the other projects go :D
What a stunning colour. Barney is going to be well sorted and gorgeous after this.
What a legend, he could pin point the date range by a wear spot, the man knows his cars, dammm
British engineering fixing all the German BMW engineers problems at its finest 🇬🇧
Yep, they should contact BMW in Munich with their findings..
Those guys at Redish had the right energy around them: “(…) caravan at the back: are you imagining it?”. “Yeah let’s do it” 😂
Great series and looing forward to when you can drive Barney again on the channel.
James seems like a real nice guy!
I bought an M Sport gear knob off James in 2008. Nice chap.
Is there any more on this build?
I really like this Beemer shop, guys seem to really know their shit and are fun to talk to.
That M3 csl is absolutely beautiful
Alex has my sense of humour, I love it 🤣🤣
This guy rocks, and just bloody loves RACPs.
On the one hand i cant wait to see how it looks and moves. On the other hand as a big M tech 2 46 fan im gonna miss this look
I live in Bristol and have just found the people to make my z4 e85 a v10, just got to save more.
How does Alex always manage to reduce any guest to a fit of childish giggling? Love it.
Facelift headlights with CSL bumper and M3 bonnet would be epic.
Awesome build, Alex,
Cannot wait to see the end result
When’s part 4 coming out??
Wow, never this is going to be a great E46 transformation. The car that BMW should have put in production back in the day.
“How much do you charge for this excellent work?” ….. “what fingering holes” 😂😂
Love the 155 t-shirt!
Focus on this, Alex! We wanna see this!! :D
Stunning Z3! 🥵
Allan partridge style, best choice imoa
Another great video!
More Redish content, please!
Wish we had such knowledgeable blokes like James here that dont charge like a wounded bull, Would be much easier fixing everything on my e46.
Congratulations Alex on the Mercedes GLC commercial. 👌🏻👍🏻
