    The dream sequence got me. If you guys think something will be funny, don't hesitate to put it in a video. Your senses of humour are always spot on. And I liked being walked through the troubleshooting. It helps develop my own critical thinking skills, as opposed to being told what the answer is.

    • @_Keir

      Yeah, I really like the humor they've been adding to the videos lately. Shows another side of their personalities.

      It's pretty entertaining.😊 Not just a build series which you slap on parts which most automotive youtubers are doing. Camera rolls and editing magic are fun but you personal humor is funny.

    Sorry guys, I'm really enjoying watching you work through the problems! A project car is literally nothing but challenges and hassles and it's been super interesting seeing how you approach fixing them. I hope you have plenty of car trouble in the future!

      Same but also sad to see the cars finished. This series has gotten me through this whole covid thing. Really appreciate this channel, it got pretty hard for my family and my partner and I bonded over this and have started a project car of our own because of this. She was not! A car person before pandemic and this series’s! Good job you created another car girl SA!

  • @andysgaragetherapy
    @andysgaragetherapy 3 роки тому +28

    I really enjoy seeing the troubleshooting aspect of building this (or any) car, as it’s a very realistic part of the process. Hoping this solves any of the last minor issues so you can enjoy it now for various purposes! Also, the daydream sequence was hilarious! These elements are great additions to your fantastic videos!

    When I had my fuel gauge issue on my touring i used the secret menu in the gauge cluster which came in real handy because it shows fuel on either sides of the tank

  • @kennethporter992
    @kennethporter992 3 роки тому +12

    More of this! There's too much stuff on UA-cam making people think all you have to do is drop a new engine into another chassis without problems. This is real life & makes me not feel like an idiot when I encounter all this crap

    Idk about everyone here but I love it when they go into detail on doing stuff. Gives me confidence that sometimes they don’t even know how to do it but they still tackle it. Love the videos and keep it going.

  • @LafemmebearMusic

    I really appreciate the real time diagnosis, and the explanations that accompany them. Big fan of you guys. BIG fan of the M5 wagon. Was always the wish to perform this with my 2000 540iT- one of THE best cars I ever owned. Bought at 107K miles, sold it in very nice running condition to another enthusiast (who is doing the swap) at 245K miles. All of my 3 kids learned how to drive in it, and they took their driving test in it. Always keeping my eyes open for a nice E39 V8 wagon. My problem is too many vehicles....

    i liked the video, it's a realistic view on what car gremlins are like and how to search for solutions, this is basicly what mechanics do every day at their job.So great to see, not that great that the bmw had some issues, but thats to be expected with a swapped older car thats just been done.Love the fact you guys are doing a road trip, i always enjoy the gears and gasoline road trips, so for me it would be a joy to watch.👍

    Perfect video dude. I for one am very interested exactly in the trials and tribulations of the process. I end up in similar situations and plan similar jobs to some of what ye are doing on all of the cars. Ye have great attention to detail in explaining problems, solutions and tools/products. I know there is some sponsorship but it is all very relevant so I don't care or feel like it's hindering the content. Great job again, keep it up. 👍
