The best automotive content on UA-cam right now. Thanks Larry and team.
Awesome E30 M3 build!
Thanks for the vid guys! ✌️
Amazing build well done.
What front seats are those they look so cool.
Wow. Stunning car.
I need to know where to get those vin stickers when I glass out paint my e30. Those badges are insane too
Absolutely beautiful. Can someone tell me where to get these remade stickers? I’m mid restoration and I wanna grab these
Pukar Designs but he's backed up and not sure if accepting orders at the moment.
what’s the outro song fellas? all love
Please don't do PPF on it. It will ruin the beautiful sharp edges and add unnecessary weight. I will never ever PPF mine. Just ceramic coat it.
Interesting how there’s an obsession with originality down to the most minute detail, while at the same time other areas are significantly upgraded or modified. In any case, I love that the owner built the exact car he wanted. Stunning!
That was my thought as well. Insanely well done, but the seats stand out like a sore thumb.
This kind of confused me too, and also how the valuation was derived considering this, and that maybe valuations are not affected by changing away from original condition/style etc
Its a perfect condition but but but ! Upgrading parts threw away all pristine Concourse restoration level about this beauty . Ask any specialist in restoration industry they ll say the same thing .
He couldn’t help himself with his JDM experience. For instance, I couldn’t help myself on the suspension as well. To me, the suspension and an extremely high quality short shift kit along with brakes is the utmost importance for driver satisfaction.
@@kirkschmidt2912 They probably evaluated high so they can charge him more monthly. Like when I was buying a tv, the more it costs the more the protection plan costs.
The fact that the owner knows who to call to find all reproduction parts is the big mind-blower here.
E30 Garage in Norway will give you a complete replacement body shell and outer panels, but for a lot of this stuff, I'm pressing my temples going, "HOW!?" "WHO!?" "dude~!" ...
I had a ton of fun sourcing all the various bits and pieces! Treasure hunting online and networking with other enthusiasts across the pond! Thank you for the kind words
Hi from Ireland. Beautiful restoration job. Can I ask for details of the product you used to restore the black plastics.
@@chrisdunbar7624 I imagine the treasure hunt was a journey, but there's a few thousand people out there wonder if you kept notes in a forum or somewhere documented who makes everything.
It's not as simple as 'Google'.
@@chrisdunbar7624i also would love to know more about the resurfacing of plastics if possible please!
@@chrisdunbar7624I’m deciding between coilovers currently for my E30, what made you go for the V3 over other options??
One of the greatest bmw's ever made. Still looks incredible.
This that 30 pages long on the message board type build. Love it.
WTF is that noise!!!! LOL
If that was built by a resto-mod company, that would be north of £400k these days.
If you would have to pay the hourly rates of an official shop for all the work he put into this, i´m pretty sure the same would apply to this gem. 😅👌
SO I’m still out of words on the appraisal of the car 228,000. but the amount of detail & work that has gone in to it you can almost say it’s priceless.
"without ppf yet" lol as he giggles already knowing something is gonna happen right before he does ppf..
Use to work at a high end detailing shop and I can't count how many times people literally drove from the dealer to us and had rock chips already (or from transport) and they have no idea..
🤪 murphy's law will come into play.. We both know this
My man is OCD like me. I restored my '04 Golf R32 like this. Most people have no clue how much work it takes to do work like this. They only see the finished product. It took me 5 years to restore my R32.
Dang what a gem and build.. he really put the time into it. Great to learn all the science behind things.
It's not really 20 year old wire loom, more 35/40 year old, it's a 1988 car....
238k dollars.... that car just might " accidentally " catch on fire one day😆
22:56 'do it yourself then' best come back. legend.
I cant thank you enough for being so enthusiastic about old school cars and being on youtube..
Beautiful build. Love the interior. Anyone else remember back when you could pick one of these up for about $10k? Crazy what the market has become for them.
Inflation is real
I remember seeing one of these sitting on craigslist for like a year for like 15k
@@stetsongray5355 crazy to reflect on, isn’t it?
Blame EAG for the price inflation. They went out and brought all the cleanest bmw especially M3'’s of every generation.
@@2turbo4u they definitely recognized an opportunity and seized it to great success.
Yup, I agree, it's perfectly done....if there isn't high quality audiophile upgrades already done (he didn't mention and you didn't ask) that's the only thing I'd change....full Brax audio hidden behind the stock panels (you know, to keep it German) and a nice flush mounted Brax sub.... can't have a perfect car without perfect audio 😅👌
my first car was an 84 bmw 318i and of course it was a rust bucket but i love to see people that have the means to save the older bimmers.
Pretty sure tommyfyeah would appreciate this.
The BMW E30 M3...GOD's "Perfect" creation...🙌🏾 Lord ABOVE this is beyond beautiful! 🤩
“Over restored” is essentially suffer from success 😂❤
Awesome build. Thanks for continuing to deliver great content Larry.
Dope I'm working on a 2000 540I with BBS Rims Still HUSTLING to get it Running BMW is Different
feel dumb. sold my for $16,500 10 years ago with 100,000 original miles pristine condition
* *hands it down to a new generation* *
New generation: 40k swift springs and 18° camber , underside scraping on ground .
Yeah....i pretty much wouldn´t sell this to anyone except maybe BMW itself.
Makes me want OCD so bad! Very Impressive
Wow nice 👍
What is that noise when he’s coming to a stop?
Coins dropping from your pockets
A fart 💨
Seriously, I was thinking the same thing! It's hilarious though 😂
@@gmbb315 Hahahahahaha 😂😂😂
@@lorencecheung I literally tried to research it before I posted this comment as I couldn’t work out what it was, wtf is that noise! 🤣
Such a clean build though regardless
Had a buddy with one of these. Same color and alllllll, just as clean.
Damm if it wasn't amazing! But I still remember when he totaled it one rainy night
$230k for a semi-restomod? It's not factory. I think it's a bit high.
E30 M3's are great for collecting, but garbage for driving vs a 325i
What a piece of art! Great video Larry!
Awesome job! Seeing this makes me sad to think what BMW has become nowadays.
Beautiful. You were at the E30 Picnic?
Good job Chris. Really beautiful restoration. Love it ❤
The first time I saw those seats were in a 80s M6 in period when it was new
Did he document the restoration or is there a way to follow him/the car on socials?
Any pointers on where I can get a carbon airbox like that?
Absolutely stunning and incredible attention to detail. Love the custom touches too.
Who makes the stickers damn it man
Dream car! This is the content we WANT & NEED!
one of the best cars, one of the best builds, seamed like a good bloke too. respect
My Lord….this thing is clean AF!
quarter mil, lol
The owner of this is without a doubt a genius and an artist. Great feature again by Larry!
Shout-out to Sean E! 🐦
E30 M3 all day every day!!
Time capsule!
The Car Makes That Wineing Sound Every 4 Min Why You Drive
I ALSO WANNA KNOW WHAT WAS THAT SOUND?
Excellent video! Such an amazing build! I'm working up to create content this good! Thanks for being a motivator! ❤🙏
How can that be concourse it's the furthest from OEM you can possibly get. Looks great but he made a f****** mistake not restoring it to its original state. It would have been worth twice as much
Very beautifully done, bravo👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. So I ran a couple of this when they were still relatively new, a Ceccoto model and an evolution for close to 25 years. So I know what to look for, this one here is not original, I’d say perhaps 60% close. He has mixed a lot of non OEM, Sport Evolution model parts in a mish marsh to come up to a stunning looking car but by no means not 💯 % OEM. The headlights lights and wheels jump out instantly to start with, the carbon box is another, the rubber in the engine bay also was unique to the sport evolution for aero dynamics, I could go on and on. The above is a small list of noticeable non OEM to standard car. Wish the wheels were the genuine article. Aside from that great effort and stunning looking car. Well done indeed👌🏿
While i´m not quite this particular about every clip and bolt, this OEM+ is the way to go for me as well with my E36´s,
increasing driveability and performance where possible, but without compromising the original looks.
You won´t find a piece on my car that you couldn´t option from factory back in the days, but at the same time pretty much everything underneath it is completely new and brought up to date,
for example completely new Bilstein suspension, strut bearings, stronger wishbones, anti-roll bar, etc...
Same goes for interior, lookswise i got a completely original looking Blaupunkt radio, but inside it has a USB-port, Aux-in, bluetooth and even digital radio DAB+,
but i had to figure out how to run it over the factory antenna, since i obviously didn´t want an additional one that wasn´t in there when it rolled out of the factory. 😅👌
Anyways, this is pretty much the absolute perfect E30 restauration, completely jaw dropping! And without a doubt to me the value of it will only increase from here.
The more parts will become inevitable just unavailable , the more it´s value is gonna increase, inevitable.
It´s probably already almost impossible to recreate this build to this extend, so i REALLY would hesitate to ever sell this gem of a car! 👍
Where were the decals sourced?
Ive seen many M3s in my lifetime and in my years in the business but this is the best looking E30 M3 ive ever seen. Id love to have this one just as it is. I regret not buying one 20yrs ago. I have an 04 and yes its faster & all that but driving the E30 M3 is a completely different experience.
Great car! Love the seats!
What a Beautiful Car!!!! Always liked those growing up as kid! I was and still am more of a JDM fan but the BMW’s, Mercedes and Porsche’s have definitely grown on me over the years!!! But who can’t look at a M Series Or Porsche of any year and not say they don’t like it and would be proud to drive it and own one! If they’re honest about!!!
It’s perfect except for roundel emblems. Not a big fan of those, I prefer the originals. Insane level restoration though.
That's an amazing build and the fact that he did a lot of very particular restoration of finishes himself is truly impressive.
That is completely crazy build , wow what an effort. Looks great 👌
Amazing 🤩
You sir have an absolutely amazing M3. Truly a dream car for me too. If your wife says its okay to do another restoration, that's even better. Thank you for sharing it!
Exquisite. Your curating mind is one of a kind as well as your master piece E30 M3.
In 10/15 years “ you’ll own nothing and be happy”
Larry, you should’ve let him take over your YT…he can talk about this car without you asking him questions.
Greetings, thank you for caring and respecting the Engineering of one of the Best M3. Just wondering☀️🌿
Very nice attention to detail. I'm over here with my 95 M3 track car crying in zip ties...
$87000
Badgies look absolutely crap. Put the original ones on
Unbelievable build. Congratulations Chris. WOW! 🔥
Who in the UK supplied the enamelled Motorsport roundels for the hood and trunk?
Awesome build . It's always the lil things that brings it home.
This is pretty good. There's one in Hong Kong that is equally good, if not better.
An absolute dream. Perfection. Great to see he is driving it. Awe inspiring.
I want to restore my 89 325is but at the moment I don’t have the founds to do it 😔
I think this is the most beautiful car I've ever seen!
It’s 2023
How do we not have paint that doesn’t scratch yet?
The paintwork is stunning. Beautiful car.
What's that moaning sound when he's in first gear?
Factory Fresh
Simply gorgeous.
@23:43 because the entire car is held together by glue 😂😂 #canconfirm
That edit was crazy on the "would you sell it"?😂😂😮😮
That's pretty unbelievable, gorgeous
Beautiful build. Congrats to a stunning E30 M3
MORE BMW GEMS IN THE PNW LARRY THIS CONTENT IS AMAZING!
