- Replacing these fires me up! I show you how to avoid the dirt life as I go about making this car as perfect as can be. That includes polishing underneath the trim where you'll never see, but it makes all the difference to me knowing it's clean.

Stay tuned for more crazy!
30 min vid on door sills and seals lol this is why Matt's channel is the best!
Came here to say that also
Fyi. You have to stick around for about 20mins before 'Uncle Matty' finally shows up and drops some nuggets.
Mom, I can't come downstairs for dinner, Matt just posted a 30 minute video about installing door sills on his M3.
Lol when you were talking about cleaning and polishing under the sill plate, I feel the exact same way. I don't even have ocd, but I'm working on restoring a first gen Miata in my small garage, and doing that type of thing and having that type of mindset is actually one of the easiest ways to make progress without even having to spend a dime. Ive taken every body panel off, the entire interior out, and even taken the engine/drivetrain out just to super clean anything and everything. Makes the whole car feel 10x better.
Matt's attention to the little details is what makes the channel so friggin Great
Could be better… like why wouldn’t he blow off the dirt first then spray and wipe off?
We are witnessing the birth of the soon to be cleanest E36 on earth guys
100%
This vid cracked me up more than it should have lol. zooming in on matts belly 😂. No more Zebra cakes. Great job Matty.
The way you talk while detailing reminds me of Bob Ross and it is quite literally perfection!
Try shadow black nitrile gloves . The best I have found . Not to thick not to thin. Had to share with you . Car is looking clean !
The Gloveworks HD 7 mil green Nitrile gloves are also great.
8 mils too for rougher jobs.
Honestly, all of this “crazy” that Matt is about drove my attention to detail way up. Even at my job, I now have a way higher standard! Thanks!!
Nice attention to detail. I wish I had new sill covers on mine.
Taking an E36 M3 that was already one of the nicest anyone would ever see and making it better than new. Makes me want to do the same for an E24 M6, but I know I'm way better off (financially) just keeping my 'driver' quality 635CSI and having my fun with it without it costing much of anything. My car's 'good for a 35 year old car' but this E36 is going to be absolutely stunning - it already was.
If this car ever gets sold, the buyer better be an extreme BMW enthusiast, they'll be getting the best E36 M3 that ever existed.
These door jams make me so happy!
Another fantastic video Matt can’t wait to see more work done on your car and garage . I don’t know which CZcams channel I look more forward to everyday, new episodes on your channel or Harry’s Garage . 😊
Got a flat on my Tesla and thanks to Matty, I have to now De-Nibb the tires because my detailing OCD agreed with Matt’s detailing OCD that Nibbs on new tires must go away!
I just ordered fronts for my Euro ‘96 sedan. Only place I could find a pair was EBay and they were 240$ with freight. Now I’m not sure if they are NOS or not 🤔. Can’t wait to do all this but I’m not sure I won’t just hand polish this area, not gonna lie…To buy all these tools and polishes is a huge rabbit hole of needs 😆
You are so luck on that rubber door seal. Be careful getting in and out because it's a known quick wear point. To replace, it's $500 a side. Going through that now
"there is one perfect" perfect quote Matt
(Lowering my head in shame)...yes, your door sills look better than my car does. 😂
Man soo clean! But I can't get over how clean the rubber weather seals are. It's crazy that I'm about to drop 500 for each door to get my 98 M weather seals factory.
Simply PERFECT 🙂👍
I'm a huge e36 fan boy. Great work
The Bob Ross of the automotive sector 👌
"Dirt Life" Actualy LOLed
Beautiful Dude! Nice Mat finish
Matt, I think this means you need to gut the interior and redo it all
If you go through your entire build without having to buy a boat load of clips...I'm going to be one jealous E36 M3 owner, lol. 😂
I’m here for the polishing under the door jam. That’s where it’s at. Just got my car back from the dealership after a recal and my paint got absolutely trashed 🥴😥😥😭 they completely destroyed it with the Mats on my fenders They already knew not to wash it but they absolutely destroyed my paint 😭😢😢
Have you ever used festool power tools. Seem to get a lot of praise.
Two thumbs up!! Love it Matt!
this video remind be of the bug episode in breaking bad , and here i am watching the whole video at 3 am just like how i watched the episode
Can you do the window trim that goes around the side of the car
Cool ! looking sharp
I could be wrong but weren't the sill plates a dealer installed option? I'm thinking back then there were different width options. Even though I have more info in the palm of my hand than used in the Space Shuttle, I'm still asking reminiscent questions.
The door sills are very resilient but the rubber on the left and right sides tears off. Look at any E36 M3 for sale - the rubber edges will be missing. One thing sucks about the sills they've been shipping for about the past 5 years. The sticker overlay is not as good as the original part. On the original parts the overlay is more even and not wavy like the newest parts. Not huge but noticeable. I'm expecting the M3 sills to be NLA soon so last time I bought them (for my sedan no less) I bought two sets to have an extra.
Do they sell just the seals or do I need to sink $400 into a new set of sills?
@@MrPizzaman09 the ‘seal’ is a more rubbery part that is part of the sill. It’s all one piece… just the seal area is not plastic but rubber but bonded to the plastic as one piece. So you need to buy the whole sill
What do you do with the near perfect condition original parts you remove?
The OG way, polish something you are never gonna see lmao
Yeah, I watched and I like.
Nice detailing, but should have bought new clips to the sills...
What did you use as a rust hole filler?
I’m curious what’s going on around that shifter, it looks like a hot tub for Ken and Barbie 🤓
That's sound deadening for gearbox sits around the shifter on e36 it's just removed, and not fitted back yet.
Nice door seals
He said worn ? Bro lemme buy those pls haha. Im serious
I do not think that NASA has equipment that clean. :-) I feel like I am unworthy of my E36 ///M now...
Sooooooo', when are you gonna' order that twin screw supercharger . . . that's what REAL e36 guy's want to know . . . we need a response too
Matt cut your fingernails, they are driving me crazy hahaha
My perfectionist tendencies have faded to just wanting things to be good. It’s a much better place to be.
You should swap the steering wheel to eu one, this one looks awfull
He mentioned in one of his vlogs he doesn’t like the euro wheels - wants to keep US OEM. I agree though, I’m an OEM+ guy but had no problem whatsoever replacing the stock 4-spoke with euro wheel w/ airbag. The last time I refreshed the interior I had that German eBay guy tainik redo my arm rest and bought euro wheel and bought new OEM shift knob and boots. Looks fantastic and oem
Good content but why am I looking at your back the whole video?
You must be blind, the b camera angle shows everything you want to see for a freaking door sill install
@@Deagles456 look at M539 Restorations videos. This is how he should record. Might be just me...?
Did I just spend 26 minutes of my life watching someone detail a door jam?
The new floor mats suck. Not only are they the wrong, they have a stupid M in some random font - not M3 - and the quality is sub par.
Only real men have museum-quality door sills.
But you do look at them every time you use the car.
Can I have the old door sills, I want to decorate my room walls 😅
I was going to ask the same thing 😞
@@lexonwilliams5825 I'll give you the other pair 😂
Спасибо, блеванул...пол часа ни о чем.
