Love the shout out to Rob and Chris from Salvage Rebuilds UK, Great pair of hard working lads. I think you're chanel is awesome too 👍🙏
yep i was thinking the same they repaired a very nice m4!!
Also a very small world the automotive YT one. Rob from Salvage Rebuilds UK is mates with Scott Chivers (Ratarossa) who brought the Ferrari wing/fender over to Florida for his friend Samcrac who took that up to his chum VTuned who’s still repairing the Ferrari - full circle!😂
The check engine light on a McLaren is just another form of ambient lighting
Having been a dealer and gone to many auctions, it really got old how much corruption existed at places like Copart and Manheim. Shady dealers that would sabotage vehicles, mess with them, unplug sensors, cut wires to try and get them for less. Or the auctioneers who would fake ¨bids¨ to run the prices up. It really got old and make it difficult to get clean cars or make a profit. Plus all the ridiculous fees that were associated with the auctions, it became a rat race.
The shadiness is out of control.
Buyer's premium, sellers premium, holding charge, movement charge, paperwork filing fees, stocking fee, loading fee and the one you don't know about until you see the bill seems to be another 50% on top of your bid.
I'm pretty sure that the ECUs of that car would have IMMO data as well, so them working in the car kinda tells me that the 'nice guy' who gave you a 'good price' was the guy who stole them. 😅
precisely
Tuned ecu might have immo deleted but why seller didnt tell that but claimed to be the owner?
Indeed it was he made himself a quick buck
What is up with Sam’s 599? That is my FAV Ferrari and I can’t wait to see it back on the road! Great work on your videos.
Try replacing the key fob battery with a 2032 Duracell or varta battery
Love the shout out to Chris and Rob from Salvage Rebuilds UK
Sweet! Music to the ears!
You did it!
Put the key on the column and foot on the break, hold the start button for 5 seconds, release it then start the car the key should relearn for the locks
You have been on fire 🔥 with the work lately and getting a lot done. Don’t forget to take some time off with your lady and enjoy life. ❤❤❤ Great video as always.
Great video,glad to see you figured out the electrical problem,I’m sure that was a relief.just don’t get ahead of yourself or get in a rush,gotta wait for parts anyway.just keep doing what your doing 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Shout out to Rob and Chris of Salvage Rebuilds UK. They are great guys, I watch their videos all the time.
Nice contrasting interior colours, the red really is BRIGHT.
Kudos to salvage rebuilds uk for helping ya out. I have followed them and yourself for a long time now. Both great channels. What you can do with a bent car is amazing. Really enjoying the bmw videos. Uk sub right here mate 👊
I watched the start up three times... Ben was so happy it made me happy!
Nice work
So cool to finally hear it start up!
You're right to not leave a battery charger unattended. I was tired one evening and left one going. Had a hell of a fire at 3am. Cost me a fortune.
Chris and rob and salvage rebuilds uk are great guys and very knowledgable
They had to learn hiw to charge these batterys the hard way with help from 1 of their good friends
Hi Ben, you need to code the battery in the car, i had the same problem.
Was thinking this same thing. Hopefully he sees this!
Came here to say this! Once the battery goes dead once the ECU thinks it's still dead until you "reset" it and tell it the battery is good to go again. Not sure why the McLaren battery worked... Maybe it's the opposite, where the car is looking for a certain voltage (from the ECU telling it) but because the battery is a bit lower now it doesn't match and the ECU is mad? Who knows... SO much tech and programming on modern cars!
That ecu thing sounds real sketchy. If it was stolen, how fortunate that the guy just _happened_ to have the original one for that car. hmmm.
yeah def more to the story.
exactly xD
I think the original owner is still up to dodgy dealings & trying to recover as much money as possible. Says he only took the tuner off, yet the aftermarket intake pipe was loose & damaged
Parts stolen at Copart? I’m shocked, shocked, shocked! You see all the time where easy to steal but expensive parts are missing off cars. ECUs, Body computers, badges, etc just disappear like magic.
Thanks for sharing. No one else knew that.
A video I didn’t know i needed 😊
The safety switch of battery can be bypassed by installed a jumper. i did couple M4 before like such situation.
great to see the car started, now the fun starts.
Nice work, Ben. Cool to see future projects loading. No doubt keeps you fresh not being stuck on one car all the time.
Love this series Ben, been hitting that notification bell lately as I really dig these BMW videos (loved the M2 too, for obvious reasons)
Weird, this is not your first BMW you have worked on. You know they are very particular vehicles. OEM parts and batteries. Solid vehicles, fun to drive. Not like you to complain some much. Have a better day Ben, your positivity is infectious, never change that.
Shout out for salvage rebuilds UK ❤
Crazy the ECU got stolen, but I always wondered how much shit people steal from wreckyards
too much
Yea the Co Part Staff !!!
Shit for the ecu being 600 yea I see why
I think it is often the staff. They had to come and collect a car from me once and give me a full refund because their staff had stolen parts worth more than the value of the car
@@jacko791Shesh.. glad u caught it loo
The interior of the BMW is just so cool looking. And now it starts!
Salvage Rebuilds know there stuff top lads in the uk fixing car to perfection
Stay positive Ben. If the mcClaren didn't beat you this simple BMW certainly won't. Keep your head up.
Hearing that motor starts was like music to my ears. Nice one Ben.🙌🏾🇿🇦
The beat is insanely great
Get this man a flashlight..headlamp or something...Using the phone light is crazy..
Bet it was a guy from the yard...pretty tempting side hustle..
It would be an employee for sure, they don't just let people walk round the yard to steal stuff. I don't understand why people steal from where they work, if you are caught you will be fired, then the only job you will get after that is on the garbage trucks if your lucky.
Don’t know why you havnt reached a million subs , hopefully soon
Dear Ben,
It’s very understandable that the BMW M4 is kind of a pain in the ass regarding to rebuild this car because you meet problems after problems. At the other hand it’s really clever you got the engine running. Adding how far you already have reached the level of rebuilding and knowing your skills to fix almost any damaged car I’m positive you’ll succeed with this one as well. Nice new projects are on the way. I look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands
Ben 4 the Win. VTuned is the best channel on YT!
I had the exact same issue with my x5 fob. BMW uses a specific brand of battery in their fobs. A tech told me that one of the terminals is slightly wider than most batteries on the market. Can't remember what brand it was! Think it was German maybe Varta
😂
❤❤❤❤dang! I can feel that excitement through the video when it started up!! 💪
Love your work
Great stuff, Veniamin! Fantastic that car starts. That BMW charger is just a relabelled Ctek charger.
Great content and love watching the progress
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Good job 👏 atleast it runs keep your fingers 🤞
Good investigating Ben. Glad to see you were able to get this thing going. It will give you a boost on the repairs now.
Right on Ben I am looking forward to seeing the M4 back on the road!
Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work!
Of course you got it running! Never a doubt!
Parts go missing the minute insurance companies total it!
I love like watching on UA-cam channel
Youll need something like ista to reset the battery counter or whatever its called within the ecu. Its the same battery but if you charge it, its like a new battery. The previous gen was like that. Worth a shot.
So glad it started man
LET'S GO VTUNED
Nice video.
Outstanding
i know what will make you feel better now that it runs, take out all the air bags and such for replacement, god that looks good.
So happy for you. Awesome you got it started. Can't wait to see it all buttoned up.
I’m happy to see the M4 running, that’s a relief😅
I had confidence you would get it together and running. Congrats on this phase, it’s awesome to watch. Keep grinding it out, you will have a pimped out Bimmer in no time..
You are absolutely killing it lately Ben! Keep it up!
Nah he is, seein ups and downs from yt’ers tht I follow always makes me feel good for em
Thanks for sharing your content Ben you definitely making progress on the awesome BMW.
you need to change the battery in the remote
the guy who sold you ECUs is the one who stole them, why would he have two of them, especially from your car?
Yeahh good question that needs an answer
Obviously
I was thinking the same thing 🤔 bro
Thanks for taking us along for the ride! We are always learning something new.
Great job man enjoy the channel everything's going good that's good Keep On Keepin On bud
V Tune....ur the man!!! Great workmanship!
Always a pleasure watching your videos. Great content
Good luck for you 👍☮️
Vtuned is the best. You need to show us some video of your wife. I bet that she is soooo proud of you and your accomplishments.
The day that vTuned adds recommended videos to the end of the video, will be the day i'll eat my hat!
Loving the progress on the M4. You made this repair look so easy as always!
So happy you got the BMW to run. Great content, let see how the frame pulls.👍🏼
Another awesome build ben. I always look forward to the next episode
great stuff dude thanks
Hi Ben, so happy you got the Beemer running! That battery is a weird deal. Once again maybe some of the faithful who follow you might have an idea. I know how it is with the little things. They pile up and feel like one big one. Hang in there though because if anybody can figure these problems out, it’s you! Take care and see you when the next episode drops.
Dude you manage to scare me every time I start your videos bu yelling in to the mic 🤣🤣🤣 keep up the great work
You are amazing man
Salvage Rebuilds UK, brilliant channel, great guys worth checking out! 🇬🇧
Just keep on pushing brother. These German cars are aways fun to deal with!! But when you hear back order, that kind of make you say ,"slow down & come back to it."
Keep up the good work 🤛😊
The shear joy on start up …..priceless
Salvage rebuilds UK is a great channel and they recently did one of these BMW’s, and put it in a giveaway lottery. Glad they were able to advise you about the battery.
Hi vtuned very nice good job on Bwm m4 couple manual new or used ECU fixing up get start will I love like support and number one ☝️vtuned old ford ranger yellow give father work new parts
Bro your local BMW dealer must love you
Rob and Chris at Salvage Rebuilds UK are top guys, and a great youtube channel.
Keep up the work man don't let it get ya down brother it's gonna be ok, your gonna be goonzquad rich soon, I promise.
Congratulations!!!
How to say you bought stolen items off someone you know is a thief without admitting you bought stolen goods. Bravo bravo
It is so sad that thieves are so compiscuous.
I was hoping you could start the car, because word is that if the module's don't match it won't run.
Leaving the key in the car at Copart killed the key battery. New battery will sort that. Beautiful car, congrats!
about that key..could be that hood and trunk is open??
Rock and roll on the bmw you got this fronts looks amazing just keep the vtune professionalism, remember your the master rebuilder👍👍👍
Had this with a Porsche cayenne hybrid I rebuilt damaged and the lithium battery was dead after accident stripped it down and it had a bms (battery management system) inside like the box on your bmw battery had to buy a tool to plug into the bms and reset it before it would switch the battery on bmw might have same set up worth a look as I was quoted nearly £2,500 pounds in uk for new battery after reset battery was good as new . Keep up the good work 👍
拍得好好，繼續努力💪
Congratulations with fired up it
The engine sounds perfect! Glad it was just the battery. It could have way more expensive!
HI BEN GREAT WORK ON GETTING THE BMW TO START UP. GLAD THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER ON FIXING THE BMW. TAKE CARE. 👍
