Our V8 BMW E30 is BACK with MORE POWER
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2021
- A little while back we bought an 1989 BMW E30 Coupe, probably paid too much because everything was broken. We decided to engine swap it with an LS3, TR6060 and Skyline R200 rear diff. It's an AWESOME car to drive as is, but with a little more power it should be EPIC.

While we work out what's up with Supergramps, we have some fresh euro nugget episodes for you...
Stoked to give this car the time and attention it deserves, its a great looking thing with a very capable engine. There will be 2 or 3 more videos coming out on repairing and modifying this then we'll be hitting you with some fresh junk. Thanks for watching!
Thank you guys all the way from the USA, MCM is the best show ever
You're just scared to build the best GEMINI on the planet.. I bet your practicing on this shitbox to then not stuff up the LS Gemini....
@@patrickpatrick5078 And Canada 🤘😁🤘
Can't wait to see this beast doing some doughnuts.... let's see it it do a figure of 8 😜😜😜🙃🙃🙃
2 or 3 videos?? Sweet, cant wait for episode 17 on this build :')
Tony seems like such a genuinely nice dude. There's clearly a lot of expertise kicking around in his head. Hopefully you guys have him on some more during this build!
I will forever remember the wooden dowel trick
He is a legend, I wish I knew someone like him, I guess I have to meet more car people lol
He seems like such a nice guy, could imagine him to be a fantastic mentor!
he is awesome and a very nice person to be around
Tony's got that proper craftsman air about him, you just know from looking at the guy that he knows his shit. I used to work with someone like that and they're honestly worth their weight in gold, because not only do they know their shit, they know it so well they can teach it to others effortlessly.
Shay from Hassarati repairs is a legend! He fixed my beemer and gave me a loan car free of charge when I asked where the closest train station was
He seems like a genuine top bloke - and with all the skills.
I like his Cadillac
And he drives a maaad caddie.
Old school knowledge pouring out of that gentleman. Respect!
"purity and brand faithfulness is a big deal...so I put a LS V8 in it" 😂😂😂
To some, but not to us in this case...
Purity......is IN THE BIN!
Can you get another BMW and do it right L6 is the only way
@@mightycarmods these LS blocks are getting harder and harder to get used in the states, especially because the truck blocks are 600hp reliable engines with some mods and will go for thousands of Ks. GM overbuilt these things, and will never top them.
@@mightycarmods also, if you want an LS truck block, I have on sitting the garage as a spare for my cargo van, you buy it for a reasonable price and pay the shipping, and you can have a gently used LMF code iron block from a cargo van with a fixed cam, 5.3l v8.
If Moog is looking for something to race his six-cylinder 240 against, we also have a six-cylinder 240...
That would be awesome!!! Please MCM say yes!!!!
I say do it!
This Needs To Happen.
Is that you Scotty ?
Do it for slips otherwise your comment is in the bin!!!!
Only working on engines since 1989. Love the modesty.
I caught that too. Legend.

Welcome to torque
You can tell that Moog was pumped for this build from the music xD
Seriously reminded me of the forza Motorsport 4 garage music
Completly ripped off one of Mau5traps artists for the tune at 9:50, Kindrid feat. Eva Grace - Falling Down.
@@MASSIVEsock They're not even remotely similar except tempo...
@Kyle Yes Kindred added vocals to this track after warping himself back in time and sent me, the saviour for mau5trap to the future to post this on some random mcm video, for cringe cucks to say it isn't remotely similar. 8/10 would do again
@@MASSIVEsock that's not what he's saying... he's saying they probably both used the same sample
Screw work! I need my dose of MCM who cares if it's 00:19am in the UK, MCM is life! ❤️
1:25AM in Norway... Agreed, I can nap tomorrow.
Weak. thats not late anyway
Ffs gonna be so tired in morn 😴😪
Same..
I'm with you man
I wish my dad was still alive to see this, he was locally famous for his engine work, especially with the Chevy/GM V8. He had a lot of old school tricks that I wish I could have learned.

Mechanical Stig, Turbo Yoda and now… Fixing Good 🤣
Woohoo
Loved the "Fixing Good" comment 😂
Right off to bed 00:45 here in the UK
Dad jokes at their finest :D
I am so glad you all are revisiting this build I was disappointed that it had to be rushed to fit the sponsor spot. I knew I could count on you guys to finish this cool build.
Same... I was so angry after that cod video but now I'm happy and can't wait for more
Daamn Tony the Tank Engine knows his stuff!
also, i might add, i loved hearing Tony speak. listening to folks who are experts in their craft is so amazing and satisfying
i love that older body style bmw it just looks nicer than current day models.
Thats pretty much the case for every manufacturer these days, which kind of sucks...
@@interessiertesalzgurke404 Eh the C8 looks better than the C4 and C5 which were around when this car was out. But yeah as a rule old cars usually look better, I think my 68 camaro looks sweet compared to modern day camaros.
@@interessiertesalzgurke404 Ya I think its kind of a size thing current models of most cars are huge compared to older models
Older mustangs look better to me
Man I'm upset yall just ended it and left me hanging on for more lol
More coming soon
That mic drop at the end was epic, tho.
Shout out to Tony for still having that enthusiasm and energy for what he does as he was explaining that wooden dowel trick.
15:00 Marty give a sad story how LS engines have become rarer in Aus.
Whilst Europeans have never seen one.
Ahhh! Classic MCM is back on the menu! Disrespected nose is... good in small quantities...
I love how in Australia you talk about rust like its an unusual growth. In England, we are surprised when there is any car left
Love Tony! Such a knowledgeable guy and seems to love sharing his tips and tricks. One of the good old boys!
Yellow starion spotted at the body shop:)
Love this e30. Honestly I had forgotten about this car! Maybe cause it's so stealth
Is that what the Mad Max Interceptor is based on? 😮😮
@@jefftoonstra5087 *Cries in Australian*
@@jefftoonstra5087 No Jeff.. But it is what Jackie Chan drives in Cannonball Run iirc. ;)
@@vanderspaced 🙄
I can’t wait to see this and the 240 run around the track!
I really enjoy being along for the ride. As "In The Bin" has joined the legendary ranks with "First Step, Jack Up Your Car" Also very much enjoy learning from you guys as you're learning yourselves. I doubt I'll ever have an LS... but it's still GREAT to watch!!
The most entertaining car I've ever own was a 550i, but hated the engine problems it was known for. I've always thought an LS swapped BMW would be the holy grail of a daily driver! I'm glad to see this one get some more attention.
16 min into this I am frothing to see you guys re use the head gaskets and bolts and more
This comment will be under appreciated. I would love it if you could do the who’s who of car tubers tour and show them how to be sloppy lol.
I felt hurt for you when the bolts went...*in the bin!
“Don’t look at your cam bearings, because then they will be bad.”
Is it frothing from excitement or anger? I guess excitement because of the channel name. Not a native speaker and also new to cars, hence the question
@@dimitrijekrstic7567 he mad mad
Tony seems like such a nice guy! Would love to see him on the show more often, he seems to have a tonne of knowledge floating about in that head of his!
I enjoyed this film, the E30 BMW is timeless, so is the LS line of engines. Hate all you want on GM products, but the LS series of engines is one of the best bang for the buck, reliable, big power potential engines known. The E30 speaks for itself. How BMW went from the E30 to the garbage they sell now is beyond me 🙄 Would love to see more on this particular build. Just amazing, and is something most people can do themselves. Kits are sold all over the world to do this to an E30. Keep up the good work guys👍😎
Man, seeing so many older legends in recent YT videos across-the-board and I think a dedicated series to each, would be an absolute killer thing to have happen!
That look on Moog's face at 15:47 "was just telling everyone how organize we are" LOL
Love this episode. Good music to accompany the motor.
Been watching you two guy’s for a decade at least and you two haven’t changed a bit and that’s what I like keep up the great content fellas.✌🏼
Got some of your merch for my birthday, I love to support you guys and your fantastic content
I already knew where it was going as soon as Marty said “Throwing out the rubbish” 🤣🤣
They should have throw the entire engine, then.
@@p.informatico1320 do explain how an LS is rubbish?
@@p.informatico1320 Yeah an Ls3 is "Rubbish" get outta here with that purity bs lol 😆 the LS platform is one of the greatest to ever be made, don't be salty just because they didn't put an unreliable N54 in there.
@@jase_llan LS is fine for a american car, but a e30 makes more sense with a bmw v12 under the hood.
@@BigfootUnibrowMan unreliable? There are 7 series which made more than 500k kilometers with that engine. It just need to be maintained properly.
Moog’s music is one of my favorite parts of these videos I have most on my playlist lol
So happy to see this car again! I love the e30. You guys make, without a doubt, some of the best car content in the world right now and it's all for free! Crazy. The Miss Daisy build was the first episode of Mighty Car Mods I ever watched and I haven't missed a video since. So I understand the importance of sponsored builds to keep the lights on and keep giving us all of this stuff absolutely for free. That being said I was really disappointed to see the state of the comment section on this car’s last video. I understand why some people got upset about the surprise but it really made me sad to see some of the comments that were left on that video. Honestly thought this community wasn’t like that.
I'm sorry to even bring all that bullshit up again but I love you guys and I can't wait to see more of the e30. Keep it up👍
Good on you, that you're putting it in the hours in this. It was a great build. Also, pretty much going to be one of the last great times to have fun with a car like this whilst it's cheap-ish. I think that because of BMW's current senile design, these older units might appreciate in price. I'm certainly not giving up mine after seeing the last ... thing, that came out of the factory.
Moogs excitement has returned after dealing with the civic haha
put some itb's on the ls3. haven't seen that on youtube yet and it would be siiiick. Glad to see the e30 back!
Great work guys, thanks for getting us through lock down.
It's nice to see you both smiling and having fun after Civic purgatory! IN THE BIN!! btw my ''69 Camaro has an old school small block stroker of 6.3 liters! Hard to beat the instantaneous response of a large high compression NA V8.
"This is new metal"
*korn intensifies*
My thoughts exactly. I even planned on making a similar comment.
If a guy in a 1950s Caddie Eldorado rolls in about rust repair, you trust that man. :P
That isn’t how to do it properly. That’s the rough as Fuck Sydney Smash process.
This is actually such an awesome mini series you've started. Nice work guys.
Holy crap Moog. That track at 19:45. That's some brilliant use of subtle delay on that bass to build rhythm. So deceptive simple, yet effective. Excellent noise mate!
Love it. Just saw you legends in South Hurstville, thanks heaps for the wrist strap ❤️
You're welcome bro! you'll know when that video comes out... when it does, don't forget to comment! :P
Of course! Cheers for everything you guys do 👌🏼
Bribing them to keep quiet I see.
I am always refreshing youtube to try to catch your uploads guys! I love this channel!
@@MillarMusicTV i already have :) just cant wait for the vids 🤓
Always love the tracks on your videos. Amazing compilations.
This is a proper hot rod beemer! Love it!!
Guys I love it. Born and raised in Detroit live in Nashville now. Love the LS, but I have gotten in to the jdm world because of y’all. Thank you for the wonderful content keep it coming please!!!!!!!! Also I have been looking for a e30 mid 80’s bmw but damn they are high here
It’s 6:29 pm CST and I got a meeting at 6:30
Mcm uploaded so my meeting can wait
I like a humble legend like Tony.
Got my MCM order today in the mail!! "First step, jack up your car" and "In the bin" tshirts looks AWSOME! and ofc the chopster looks nice with it's fresh chopped sticker in the rear!
Glad to see you have the voiceover and background music back!! Love it!!
10:04 a Citroën GS in the back, must be quite rare in Australia
Rare as f@ck i recon!!
NEW MUSIC? Thanks Moog can’t wait ❤️
Kindrid feat. Eva Grace - Falling Down, Yeah that's the track.
@@MASSIVEsock the music that starts @6:44 ? I Shazam’ed it and couldn’t find any results. Can’t find the song you mentioned, on Spotify actually though!
@@finnice It was sarcasm for the ripped synths lmao, google the track
@@MASSIVEsock lol it’s not even the same beat go listen 😂
@@finnice Yes I'll go listen to the track I posted myself.
I'm beyond excited for this. This car has a special meaning to me!
So cool to see the engine apart like that, and that master dude? So awesome.
What a great build. This is why i dont muck around with little motors. They can be fun and all but just look at the smile on marty's face when he puts his foot down 😁. And thats with a stock motor that is turnkey reliable. You could beat on that car all day and not worry about hurting it to much. Just gotta keep it out of the bin and wheels down on the black stuff.
I wish I could like this a million times
Love the number plate!!
Man to be able to sit down with Tony and just listen to some stories, I bet that dude has some interesting and informative things to tell.
The production quality in these episodes are top tier. Thanks for the dope content.
Love the breaking bad references lol
"Why have all of those shit-boxes when you can just have an LS?"
Amen Brother
Fantastic episode, looking forward to the LS and RB match up.
I absolutely LOVE BMW's, have been that way since I was a small kid. Thankfully I have owned two. But my favorite remains my 1994 318iS two door coupe with a manual transmission. That was an amazing car. I am also a huge Chevy guy, having had 79 pickup with a 4 barrel 454, a two Z-24's and Silverado Z71. So when I saw you were swapping an LS3, my initial reaction was...ok..but do it right. It looks like (should I have been surprised??? Nah!) you are! Can't wait to see the next steps! Oh and never lose the "in the Bin
Glad to see this back without the lame COD sponsored mods 🙌🏽
Judging by the colour of that engine oil it was due for a change lol.
Man must be nice having it all out on the stand like that. My cam swap I did it with my buddy in his garage still in the car over 8 hours. These guys went all out sheeesh!
Pen magnets through the pushrod holes is another way to hold the lifters up. Some folks do the roulette method, but I'm not a gambling man. Also you can use the long water pump bolts on the cam to help with removal. Awesome content as always!
Spewing I sold my e30 just before you guys put the 1st vid out.
I missed out on the MCM tax... Everyone thinks they are worth 3 times as much now
Not only MCM, there’s some other UA-camrs that are/have done E30s recently. And some of these are also LS swaps. I just hope E36s remain under the radar until I can find a decent one.
Pretty sure it was the Chris Harris tax long before MCM got their mits on one 😅
Besides them already going up there's a million of these reasons. To ad to the list Tyler the creator, Frank ocean and Jack boys hype them up
While the Mira is still my favorite car they've worked on e30's just have such swagger man
Especially a murdered out one
When I rebuilt the A series in my mini I made a few different tools to help with that.
Also made a cam pulley locking tool for a 1.4 twincam Rover K series.
I gotta say I'm not usually a fan of LS swap fan, and would of said "you need a BMW engine in a BMW", but it's actually been an awesome build, and it's nice to see more episodes on the E30! Looking forward to the results from the cam and everything else!
13:14 "Does car car need 1,000HP?" Yes, yes it does.
Well, it doesn't not need it....
Finally, I can like this project. No Greed of Duty mentions!
I liked the car, the LS wasn't the most interesting but it was still cool. My biggest qualm was just how dumb the COD stuff was. Now we get to see it without it.
i was learning! you ended the video when i wanted to learn some more! great vid as always, i missed the midnight nugget that is the E30
Another awesome episode guys, loving the variety.
Is this song not available to the public yet? It's a Jam!
Album in description!
Are we going to ignore the fact that Hassarati has an Eleanor sitting in his shop?. Thanks Moog and Marty for the great episode as always.
More interested in his Cadillac
10 hours, 160k views.
What a testament to how far you guys have come from simple mods in Cheryl's driveway.
Love it! So relaxing to watch you guys. You help me with my night shift.
The most desirable car for me I've seen in this video is that Citroen GS! Am I strange?
If you are so am I.
7:24 i am mekanikc
So excited you guys are working on an LS again. Can’t wait to see (and hear) what cam you put in it!
wow this car. through november I had a bad case of covid (low oxy blood number, couldnt sleep, all the sympthoms). This build and videos of it helped me forget in what kind of shit I was. Hope you give it the attention it deserves.
“Shaft to a lever arrangement”
- German economy must have been pretty dope at the time.
Copied the idea from the Volvo 140 from the 70s.
I'm glad "In the Bin" is still hanging around.
Dude I'm loving that you're bringing back old builds again.
So glad to see you’ve come back to this classic old bimmer. The beauty of modified cars.... they’re never completely finished.
your E30 is O.K. but its nowhere near as cool and pure as my itb orbital rotary k series electric steam hybrid swapped E30
I just cammed my ls3 in my w202 Mercedes. Went with the tsp stage 3 n/a cam. It’s pretty fun now. Did it in the car with the heads on and also didn’t use the wood dowels because I like to party lol
Good luck with this.
Thanks lads! This project was the reason I decided to actively look for an LS for my own BMW, an E36. It was always the end-goal of my Bimmer to put an LS in it, and when I watched this project I realised the money I had saved up to paint the car would be enough to get an LS1 where I live... I also realised I should either find an LS1 now, or they'll become too expensive to ever do it. I found a motor at the start of the year, snapped the same oil pump bolt as you, Moog, but am currently waiting for motormounts to arrive in the mail from the United States of Awesome! :D
(And I'm sure people here in the comments will think "oh how boring another LS E36"... Here in the Netherlands, I believe there's not a single *street legal* E36 with an LS. And I want one ;) )
Glad to see ya back working on the LS3 motor.
This and the super turbo are my favorite cars you have made. They all have been amazing but this is where its at!
Can't wait to see the progress of blackchops!! I don't remember if it is the first bmw on your channel but i am so happy to see you guys working on one!!
I just received my shirts from you guys, sooo good. Awesome and ill probably wear them out faster than normal. Cheers mates, lots of love from Woodland CA.
Its actually pretty interesting to see you guys out of your elements with the LS a little bit. Makes for good entertainment!
