Ahhhh I’ve been keeping my out for this one... Make sure to hit me up before you sell it! Can’t wait!
Fast becoming an icon,,,,,,,best act when opportunity presents itself.
Watching cars being given a deep clean and polish is always very satisfiying
omg those us bumpers are so grim
He called them ‘Euro Spec’ I think! They’re definitely US Federal bumpers it’s the ‘Euro Spec’ ones he’s looking for!
@@markbennett6658 Yep.
those are a US thing for sure. we do not have them horrendous things over here in europe. make me shudder just to look at. most european cars had them in america but not over here. the caddy had similar big ugly bumpers to if i remeber correctly. i've seen us imports of VW bugs with them to first thing us brits do is rip the monstrosities off
Yes that was the law from I think 1974 on. Cars had to absorb I think 5 mph in the front with no damage and 2 and 1/2 mph in the rear. When the law first came out it ruined the appearances of cars like the Camaro. In time they made it where bumpers could be incorporated into the body of the car which is what we have now. Around this same time pollution controls were required which cut back on the efficiency and performance of motors. We went from having great looking fast cars in the late 1960s to ugly inefficient crap in the 70s. And then along came Toyota.
@@robertwoodpa6463 LOL. Yea that pretty much sums the whole thing up.
I'd really suggest claying the paint before cutting if you do something like this again. It'll take the dirt out of the paint and this will enable the polisher to do a much better and easier job.
I hate typing this, because everyone has an opinion on detailing and all of them are different. That said, I'd use a paint cleaner, THEN clay, so as not to go through 3 claybars. I might even take the time to use a glaze after the polish, just to condition the paint a bit more before waxing.
That said, the finished product still looks 100% better. Very satisfying video.
@@gamby16a Good idea, makes sense to use the iron and tar remover first, especially if the lacquer layer is still thick enough.
I'd also suggest trying a clay mitt or towel instead of a bar, along with a lot of soapy water. Way faster than a clay bar.
Cannot believe someone put an M badge on the old girl. Who did Fred think he was fooling? That needs to come off, lol
Agreed, he should pull it off.
E21 owners around the world agree with you.
those horrendous US spec bumpers can join the M badge in the bin to
Your love and energy for these legends is extremely motivating. Stay safe and take care, Michael😎👍. Cheers from Germany.
Day and Night Looking Good coming together real nice
Such a difference, just shows what a bit of elbow grease can do and serves as a reminder for me to clean my car too.
Man those bumpers you got in the US were 🤮 handy for holdin a beer though! 🤣
WOW she looks a million times better, Absolutely outstanding work.
Price just went up by $500 after cleaning up car.
I love these old BMWs from when I was young. Also shows that BMW was once able to make something reliable.
I have never seen a better detail.... Night and day difference.
Oh you need to get a stencil made and put your mark on the inside of the Hood . Let people know your work
That BMW is not scrap... modern cars are scrap !
Yes so glad you've uploaded this ❤️
As I remembered, you had BMW E21 in the last videos.
Looks great now... but: washing down all that from your enginebay down to the ground cant be good for the environment. Even a few drops of mineraloil will spoil thousands of liters drinkwater.
You need a sealed ground and a oil-separator.
i like how the paint has faded on the hood, it looks like lightning, i would leave it like that.
Nice work, man.
Glad these e21s are being loved again!
Do a video on restoring those wheels, man. Those things would look awesome polished and clear coated.
It's really great that the aggressive cleaners and the remains of the operating fluids from the engine compartment get into the environment. Here in Germany you would pay a fine of thousands of euros for it.
Please please please get those horrible federal bumpers off and get the normal "rest of the world" spec bumpers on. The US spec ones are horrendous!!
Your effort added a ton of value to that car without spending much money to accomplish it. A great :budget build”.
no scrapyard in Ontario has anything close to as cool of a car as this or most of the other ones you've rescued, sigh
In the UK here those shark nose BMWs are going up in value. Nice work cleaning it up. I think it deserves a couple of new BMW badges though?
Looks great! I drove a blue 1976 2002 for many years, still miss that car. You should splurge and buy a couple of new rondel emblems for the car, you’ll be surprised how much that will dress her up.
At the end of the day it turned out really nice and it’s not a museum piece but you could’ve helped yourself by claying before compound. the best thing commercially available for moldings etc is cerakote and I believe Walmart is carrying it now.
Cerakote is amazing. Used it on my 16 year old merc and it restored all the black trim. Put it on 3 months ago and still looks fresh.
Be sure to blow out the two rain drainage holes at the top corners of the sunroof.
Great work :) please just take that M badge away and everybody will be happy again :D
Looks so good. That car needs a euro bumper conversion asap.
Everyone is doing that. There's soon gonna be time people will be looking for these thick bumpers and converting back to them. Like them or not, they are the original that sold with the car.
@@uzivatel56, it's all about looks and the US bumpers don't look good at all.
What a satisfying video to watch. You did a great job on one of my favorite BMW models. They were new when I was in high school...hehehe
That thing looks Super Clean!
Great video 💖
Amazing results, but you did it all "wrong". . . THE EXPERTS:
1. Never wash or polish outdoors, and *especially* not in direct sunlight.
2. Always remove engine electrical parts or cover them with plastic.
3. Never spray the engine bay with a strong stream of water.
4. Only use a neutral ph-balanced car shampoo, not household dish washing liquid like "Dawn"
5. Only use high-quality auto chemicals and 300-GPM micro-fiber towels labeled “Professional”

1. Just get 'er done!
I love this channel!
😄😄😄
Glad you’re enjoying! 😁
That’s not a detail that’s just and wash and polish
Nice car , but ugly bumper , good job 👍
You did a really nice job on that old Beemer. If it were mine, I would have to do a respray. Glad to hear that you are getting rid of those UGLY bumpers.
Love the vids y did u not remove the wipers to paint them probably a good reason just curious
Glad you’re enjoying! I did not as they need replacing anyways, as soon as I install new one it would’ve scraped the paint off where these are located. I opted instead to leave them installed. It also gives me something to handle for moving the arms up and down while the paint is wet.
This reminds me of the red one Hoovie had. The Car Ninja said these are great cars.
They are great. This is an E21, the Hoovie's one was an E30. This BMW is more interesting for me
Used to own one not too long dependable
They are great cars. Had one that i traded a motorcycle for, had probably 250,000 miles, and was rusty as hell, but the ac blew ice cold, and the radio worked haha.
@@lakeshorerides Aren’t you special!
@@rk22cc what is your issue?
Help me out with a gas gauge not working
Great video!!
Great job ! You really gave that car a second chance at life.
I think you did an incredible job. Now, about those BMW badges, trim molding piece, fogs and interior...
I broke a sweat just watching all that hard work, lol! You've really made that car stand out - I don't think people would know she was headed for scrap after you did the cut on the paint. I'm not an astronomer, but the fade on the hood's paint looks like a #nebula - don't paint over that! Overall, it's a great job.
Hey Michael - that trick with the Dawn in the hose nozzle works pretty well! I’d suggest splurging on a quick-disconnect so that it is easier to replenish the soap solution on the fly.
Now peel the fake M badge off LOL
OMG the american government made this beautiful BMW so ugly! I'm from Holland, U probably think Holland??? Yes it's Amsterdam.....😜🤣. The european car is so much nicer!
Please change that bumper...I am from Germany and, I don`t fly to the US and put a Pinocchio nose on Britney Spears.....🤕🤕🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮 Other wise I like your videos and I was going to give you a like but all that chemicals you use are just draining into the ground.It has to go somewhere ..I love the music a lot..♪♫♫♫♪♪♫♪
There not euro spec there GOOFY US SPEC 😂😂😂😂 alot of cars from Europe sold in the US around the 70s and 80s required a GOOFY US spec bumper that sticks out 10 miles 😂😅😂
28:12 Those aren't "euro-spec Bumpers" Those are the stupid "5 MPH bumpers" North America legislated they had to put onto cars from Europe to meet their standards of bumpers. What ever that was. LOL. To be big and ugly I guess. LOL. So they are North American (Canada had them too). Awesome job on the paint!! Love it! Thank you.
Great video. Enjoyed watching you bring the car back to life. I had that car (mine was a 1978 BMW 320i, 2L 4 cylinder with a 4 speed in Alpina Blue with Blue cloth Interior. Had AC and Blauplunk Radio/cassette). Are you going to sell it when you are done?
Absolutely beautiful save! The vintage patina is so cool…congratulations!
Incredible find ! You did an awesome job on it. Only to think they were to scap it !!😳 Duh.
And I'm really not in the BMW crowdIs it a keeper or you'll sell it ? Collectors or enthousiasts gladly pay a primium for original paint. $$$$ !
Nice video, I think the bumpers on the car are American spec, here in the UK the bumpers did not have the crash requirements that were needed in the USA. My 1979 320 6cylinder definitely had much small bumpers.
It's a wash+, not detail. I am happy that you are happy about the result. That's most important thing about it all. But at some certain points my heart sunk.
Proper detail (paint): water, snow foam, water, show foam and microfiber towel, water, drying, (clay if needed-here 100%), polish or cutting, coating.
Wheels and interior with no comment.
"Euro style" Bumpers? It's you over your side of the pond that put huge bumpers on otherwise pretty cars and spoil them...How very dare you, sir! Oh, is that an XJ lurking in the background?
Me and my dad just bought your tractor and tractor bucket off of you and my dads name is Shawn if that tells you anything
Yeah man! I hope y’all enjoy it! Cya Wednesday 🤘🏻
Thank you man god bless
Eurospec bumpers? They are the ugly U.S 5MPH law bumpers, nothing to do with EURO!!!!!!
Amazing stuff. Definitely makes me happy to see people doing things like this without 500k+ worth of shop.
Break My Wallet Corporation is the Italians a run for their money, The day of indestructible German cars is past. The day of
dissolvable German cars is here” just add stupid people who buy them”!
I owned one of the these. Wonderful cars that sadly get overlooked by BMW enthusiasts. Just an FYI, there's two ways to do the bumper tuck. The easy way is to drill holes into and compress the bumper shocks then trim the rubber side bellows. But the preferred way is to replace with the Euro bumpers, which have be special ordered. Maximiian Imports sells these but as these cars have been out of production for four decades, these aren't cheap or easy to find. You might also try fitting late e30 bumpers. They fit but aren't correct for the car. Thanks for rescuing this classic!
After watching this I’m kicking myself for ever junking my first car - 1980 BMW 528i. Love this body style.
if you can find a set (they're not too expensive compared to e30 and e28 bumpers), you could order a set of European e21 bumpers. they're way slimmer and make the car look much more aggressive. the us market diving boards are really hard to look at in comparison ahah, I tore my bumpers off my e28 right as I got them.
That paint came out amazingly well. I remember when I used to have the energy and ambition to detail my car. Now I just let the rain take care of it lol. Haven't waxed a car in 20 years.
Very nice! Personally, I would leave de bumpers alone, but I'll try to purchase the the faded badges and missing trim. Just an opinion. The car looks very good.
That looks like new paint 👏👏👏😀 Get some bumper from Europe those yank spec bumper look soo rubbish just how they ruined mg's with theor massive usa spec rubber bumpers
these are the underloved model in the BMW enthusiast world. definitely have it's share of followers but pales in cult status compared to the previous 2002 and the next e30. these with Euro bumpers on them look really really good along with a 15" Alpina wheel. funny that BMW sold these like hotcakes when they came out and made them a ton of profits. front suspension isn't the best for track use but they do ride nice! well done!
Paint the hood and find the side molding. It distracts from an otherwise great looking car. People will have no clue how many miles it has on it you fix these simple cosmetics. Do this before going to all the trouble of changing the bumpers. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO tired of the lazy option of the "patina look".
Quality content, great stuff.
Musical taste is highly subjective, but I have a request. Please retire the fiddle music. The repetitive melody and the super boring bass line turn me off completely.
Wow !, man, that thing turned out beautiful, I hope nobody ever resprays it, it wears its age and its history in style. My only criticism, from a U.K. guy who remembers them as they were supposed to look, it needs to lose that silly rear number plate thing and the U.S spec front bumper. Great work again dude, another stunning success and great to watch you polish a profit into that rare old beast. Keep on doin what you do fella.
Love this vid. I also love the Eurospec bumper. In the 1990s our Audi 5000 got hit in the rear by a F150. Ya no damage to us at all. F150 messed up.
It's amazing how from hard work little bit of money that you can turn something around. A few years back I bought a Ford expedition that ran fantastic. When I read the ad and saw the mileage and the money I figured something wasn't right. Had pictures of the outside which the paint was in bad shape from never being waxed or clean. That didn't bother me so I set up to go see it. When the person opened the doors for me the inside was a disaster. There was buttons broken switches snapped off and the guy let his kids play in the car as it was a toy or something. Even after seeing all of that I decided to go ahead and buy it but I even offered him less money than he was asking. At first he said no and then his wife said do you have the money on you and can you take the car with you. So once I came home was it I went around and made a list of what was broken and needed fixing.
As the parts were coming in I started cleaning everything. After just fixing all the cosmetic things I was having neighbors stopping by asking me if it was still for sale. Like you're BMW they wrote on the windows for sale and I hadn't done anything with the glass to that point. I had neighbors offering me twice the amount that I had spent and I still hadn't even finished making every part shine. After seeing that it just blows me away how people leave money by simply being too lazy just to clean something.
I love what you have done so far with this car. It just shows some hard work really does pay off.
Look forward to watching the next video.
Amazing results. It is like a different car. It would have been criminal if it had been scrapped. The icing on the cake would be to do something about those US spec bumpers.
The guy who bought my house in Golden, Colorado has three of these junker BMWs parked out front for years. I guess he was gonna get enough parts out of each one to get a functioning vehicle, but they never ever moved. Apparently his neighbors made him build a high fence in his back yard to contain them. I see on google maps that all three are still inside the fence, lol.
Great 320i, I would repaint the hood, the car is really worth it and get that missing trim piece on the passenger side. Great job! And yes, the bumpers are a disgrace :-).
Your ad for omaze was your best production yet. Absolutely faultless just like the BMW detail., Getting better all the time more ads more cash more cars.
you mean ugly US spec bumpers. they are awful. needs euro spec instead. but its so satisfying seeing this paint coming to life once again. great video and cant wait to see more of this. i had a 320 from ´81 once. it was rusted through . i wished i saved it , but it went to scrapyard.
I love these old cars. I prefer the original paint, maybe not perfect but original. I guess I would only paint the roof and the front. Now you have a lot of work to rebuild all the rubber parts, because after 40 years, each and every part of the chassis is dead.
11:32 - anyone else could hear the car go "Aaaaaah, thanks man!" 🤣?! Great job!
These bumpers are not Euro specs, actually they are US specs. In Europe they are much smaller and let the car look goofier... I would let them and don't do the tuck
Wow bro you brought that Little Beemer back to life.... I looks beautiful.... leave the euro bumpers, leave it original
Nice job, I would just flip it as is... Unless you want to use it as a daily... Euro bumpers and try to find something to match that missing molding on the passenger side and you're good to go
I've owned several 320s. Loved them. I'd be happy to bid on one of these, if you ever sell. Auction for charity?
I thought you would have used a clay bar to get some of the trash out of the clear before buffing. They have light to heavy duty options and I'm sure the heavy duty would be much less abrasive than the finest of wet sands.
*Love the vids and the Porsche is freaking sweet!
Nice save. While the E21 is generally unloved, they are good little cars and will go almost forever with a little bit of maintenance. In todays insane used car market, I bet you could get good money for that car.
Looks great! Now you just have to buy some new Bimmer badges and get rid of that horrible fake M badge!
I like these detail videos but I'd rather see revivals. How about some boat stuff? As a boat mechanic you must flip some boats in the spring and summer, no?
Goofy Euro spec bumpers? We just had chrome bumpers with no plastics in Europe. Those are US bumpers.
I enjoy watching love them little BMW my first car was just like it but mine was a gold color and it was a 1983
Have you ever tried black shoe polish on your window rubbers, just with a bit of rag, & interior trim shine on outside plastic bits such as the grill bars, you don't even need to polish the plastic.
Ahhh, the US bumper from hell. I love the patina! I wonder if the former yuppie recognizes his car?
Looks a lot better however not the way or products I would have used looks a lot better and will ya buff the one thing that is worth it and buff the windows lol and FYI a foam cannon I’d 15 bucks on that jungle website
Well worth rescuing, promising potential. Appears to run well, too. Great to get rid of those hideous US bumpers!
Might I suggest a 2 Gallon Sprayer from ur Favourite store which you can fill will the Purple Power so that ur fingers dont tired with all that squirting
Those BMW are so pretty looking. Specially without the bench seat american bumpers.
You're lucky to have classics like this not rust away like they do here in the UK. Good to see it back in action even if it has a whole load of miles on it. Oh, and please remove the M badge!
paint looks great, i live in europe, and we dont think those american bumpers look great...but you dont want to make it too expensive so it will be interesting what you will decide...
Just found your channel and I'm so pleased! It's just great - I'm adding you to my Notifications, Liking and Subscribing immediately.
How come in America so much cars are left to rot somewhere instead of selling it right away when it's not going to be used anymore? Good job anyway to bring it back to life :)
PS those are 'goofy spec' US bumpers. The Euro ones were closer to the body and didn't have the huge rubber insert. Those Fed Regs made many great looking cars just look ... 🤢
Love your Videos always Good Time nothing like saving car's from the crusher giving them new life
