I bought a 2016 BMW M4 F82 which had been in a serious accident, causing some pretty bad damage. Ive bought a BMW M3 front end which supposedly is the same as M4 but later found there was a few differences. It seems the newer the cars the more complicated it becomes to rebuild them. I decide to tackle the full dashboard in this video!

Those bolts left are called spares 🤣 I normally have 10 bolts left out of an 11 bolt job 😬
Its also why one of your mates has 5x 13mm spanners
😂
Less weight, better performance win win

Lol
big ups to who ever left that comment for helping matt fill the oil.!!!!
tbh this is a normal process for BMW, Mercedes and Audi cars from 2015 and on, Mercedes even from 2006 and on. Still, noone knows everything so yea, props to whoever told him :)
I’m sure the DSG oil change process is pretty similar when it comes to temperature and running through the gears only thing is it’s simpler to fill with most filters and caps under the battery’s.
BMW REP: “I give you, the BMW M3.5” 😂👍. Love it bro keep it up
My guy took out the whole dashboard whilst I’m here struggling to replace a headlight 😂
Same lol
These cars can be a royal pain, but once you've restored it there will be nothing but smiles ahead! Would love to work some magic on this for you too!
Bugger me Kyle I was just watching this video and thought of you! Work some magic!
How you thought to change the headlight switch to fix the problem, I don't know 🤯 I would be ripped the dash out again to see if I hadn't plugged anything in. Fair play! Saved yourself alot of time. Wish I had your energy and enthusiasm 😂
Exactly what i was thinking, i would have had the dash back on and off 3 times before throwing it at bmw and getting charged 2 grand to sort it lol
Yeah a little googling I daresay. Great work Mat, its going to be awesome 👍
On most common cars, the lights, wipers and even some power window functions (auto closing at rain by ex) are set up by the same ecu, so it narrows the diagnostic field, then you just have to think what part have you changed that’s on the electronic scheme of the faulty system!
Also is the reason auto closing windows might have let you down on a rainy day once, with no apparent reasons. Needs the light switch on auto for it to work on most cars. Which doesn’t make sense but it’s on the same module
And worse case scenario, if you know nothing about this, just try and error from the easiest to the hardest, don’t forget to light up a candle for hopes to find with the firsts easy tricks lol 😂
This is one of the best channels I have seen for bringing cars back to life. You have a gift for editing and a knack for commentary. Your positivity, energy, and quirky humor brings everything you need to make someone smile.
Fair play to you Matt, that dashboard removal looked like something out of a horror movie but then to see you manage it by yourself in only half a day was incredible and so satisfying to watch! Great content 👍
This man uploaded on eid🙏 eid Mubarak everyone and to every who don’t celebrate eid hope everyone had a blessed day nonetheless 🙌
For the airbag light it needs to be plugged into ISTA (bmw software) for all errors to be removed from the car and the airbags reset.
Omg Mat fair play to you taking that job on replacing the whole dash!!! It’s definitely starting to take shape now the M4... I think for defo it would look sick in a satin wrap totally stealth out...
Man, I’m pumped on how this M4’s gonna turn out! This is gonna be a beast like the Golf R! 🔥
Been watching since the TT days, can say easily one of the best channels on the tube right now! Keep it up 👏
Its been great watching how far you've come on, because I know early on you would not have attempted something that big. Fair play to you lad. Keep it up!! Hard work Beats talent 💪
Don't worry about those restraint lights we can help with those too and any coding you need!
I was going to tag Defined Coding 😌
@@Holdeenio We appreciate you!
One of the best yet, love the technical description and the nounce to change the light switch!
This is the most enjoyable build I have seen on youtube, the unpainted wings look sick!
Love it bro I think you’ve just created the world’s first M43 🤣 and definitely go satin black. Great video as always. And I think the seatbelt’s still work because they probably wasn’t wearing them at the time of the crash.
Great vid pal, well done on the tricky dashboard replacement. 👍👍👍
Great video, blimey taking that dash out and changing it 😬 good job Mat 👏
Wow! That dash replacement just looked terrifying! Brilliant job!
So at least one of the left-over bolts was to stop the wipers from swinging around :P
Love the vids matt! Maybe a simple mod to keep in mind is carbon tinting the shifter and the surrounding plastics
Amazing content, such hard work going into the repairs of the cars you've bought! Well done keep up the amazing work, stay positive! I cannot wait to see this completely finished, the golf is sick! I love the maserati and the twin turbo lambo build will be class!! HUGE RESPECT!!
Just found this guy a couple of weeks ago through Tavarish. His positive nature is simply infectious. Been watching everyday just to get caught up with where he started and where he is now.
I think this is my favourite video so far! Very informative and entertaining!!! I take my hat off to you Matt, you make me want to challenge myself with a project! Keep up the great work mate, you deserve all the good things coming your way.
Mat, Phenomenal progress! Loving your positivity and tenacity that drives this build.
Love everything about this channel and your job as well, but the main thing I admire is that you give us a lot of progress in one video!!
Some channels just make us watch a whole episode to change an exhaust tip only!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Full respect to you Mat as you will take on any job especially that dashboard.
You love to see that notification for another 🔥🔥🔥 Mat Armstrong video!!
Loving the m4 rebuild mat 👌
Looking good mate and getting lucky with the items your changing !
Will need the pre tensioners changing for the belts as they fire before even the airbags go off or the belts do as a pre Safety feature . So worth replacing them:
Matt you seriously are the man that can, I’d have shat myself after taking that dash out, fantastic video again mate👏👏👏
Hahaha watching these “older” builds after finding your new content.
I am very happy to see you no longer are in the double digits in the interior/dashboard screw game lol
The enthusiasm you show is infectious. Keep it up 👍👍👍👍
Very impressive Mat! That dash out and in is a big, scary job! And when you get round to your wrap, the Gold version of the Golf R Green would look the business!
What a daunting job that dash must have been, great vid Matt 👍🏼 keep her lit
I Felt exhausted just watching you replace the dashboard 😬 - Even with a nice Cuppa Tea.. Fair play. Great work!
Good job Matt, I love how the car turned out🔥🔥... it has been a long journey hopefully on the next video you'll be able to get everything working
The pre tensioners are in the seat belt buckles so worth checking them 🤙🏻
The satin black is a winner for me. This re build and repair is looking epic. Keep up the great work dude. 👍
Mat is such an underrated CZcams.. love the vibes love the videos keep up the hard work...
I have been wanting to upgrade the infotainment system of my BMW, but super scared of removing the center. This gives me some confidence I could do it.
Seat belt tensioner in the belt plugs needs replaced mate that’s why airbag light on.
Great video, actual fixes which I prefer to *some* of the mods.
We need this channel to hit 1M by 2022!! Love Love Love ❤️
I can appreciate how hard it is to keep organised and also edit and make filming cohesive with the skits and commentary. Fair play man. I aspire to be the competent with CZcams one day.
I click "like" before I even watch the video
Mat deserves more subs this content is fire as always🔥🔥🔥
Dude the unpainted wings look so cool. I wish I could have a whole car that looks like that
How can you not enjoy any episode. This is a human dynamo at work who exudes enthusiasm and joy. That 1mil subscribers target is real
Yessssssssss.... that's how it should be. 2 videos a week woop woop, was buzzing when I saw the notification drop 😎. Coming along nicely now mate. Keep it up 😁
Some serious positive ENERGY here!! Love it!
It’s a beautiful car mate, loving this and the golf rebuilds. Props to you because that’s a serious bit of kit you nearly have back on the road👍, really informative and interesting videos thanks, itll be awesome once all the coding and painting and a bit of tuning has been done. Find a 5f cupra 290 next please🙏.
Great work. You did well to keep going with the dash. Keep it up.
I don't know how you thought that little switch thing would turn the wipers off and get the high beam working.... but you were bloody right! I love your channel.
You've come so far and learnt so much you are making this look easy 👍
What i like about you is that you are not lazy ... and your videos are full of information
Incredible job I’d have bailed on that dash , needed clean pants just watching you do it ! well done man bloody marvellous job it really coming together now , I’m enjoying this bmw build very much wish there was more if I’m honest need your own tv show 👍
Can’t wait to see this finished, think you should go a bit crazy and wrap it chrome or gold 🤟🤟
The joy of seeing these vids man 😫🔥 and seeing the progress so glad I found your channel a while back
The editing on this video was excellent Matt, love your channel and keep up the good work, won't be long before you hit a million subscribers!...👍🏻😎👍🏻
omg such an epic effort. No idea how you keep track of all the connections for the dash!
I cannot get over how much I love this guy ;) . No homo. His channel is too sick
Hey Matt you might have to replace the airbag module to get rid of that light or sometimes they can be sent in to be reset..great job on the dash I flip cars and I recently came across a low priced car with the airbags blown and I passed on it because I wasnt brave enough to tackle the dash replacement lol
Super work matt. I'm a master technician and the way you crack on without anything phasing you. You could teach some of the lads in my workshop a thing or to. Big thumbs up.
Can't believe changing the switch fixed it - that's insane!!!! Good on you Mat!
I think the airbag light will be because you started the car while the airbag was blown. Even though anew one now fitted the light stays on, think you need to plug it in and clear the fault then when start it again should stay off.
Matt, you're an absolute hero. What a transformation on the M4 already! It's a smashing car. Much more stylish than the 140i.
Living this one!
The airbag
estraint system light will need to be turned off with software/code reader 👍
Don’t worry about the bolts mate - you don’t go into battle without losing a few men!
Major props on this project!
Mate I work for a company called airbagteam we could’ve repaired your original dashboard to keep the same spec, re-leathered it and it would’ve looked new from factory. We can also sort your belts out!
best car vids on youtube currently - love this guy and his awesome content, keep up the good work
Mat.. love tonight’s upload.. the beeeemer is looking sick already
What an epic video Mat, so much content and so much progress in one video. Really enjoying the M4 Build
Great info didn't know these different parts fit,keep up the great work 😁
The restraint lights are due to modules on side of the seat where the belt buckle clips into, seat belts be fine
Man I was so stoked when the wipers and indicators started working again!
fantastic job and good progress👍
Couldn’t believe changing the light switch resolved the issue with the wipers and the other things. Freakin’ lucky:) awesome work 👍🏻
Great vid, rare to see a YT'er actually admitting when things don't go their way. Let's see where those 'extra' bolts end up!
I’m confused is it cheap or expensive?! 😂
Tough job. Well done bro. Satin black over gloss
Respect 🙏. Its probably put together better than BMW would've done, mine frequently would come back from the main stealer with bolts/plugs missing 🤨
I was actually holding my breath with the dash fit, nice one dude.
Love seeing this M4 being done up can’t wait for the finished product, love the content Mat
Absolute beast! Wow your patience is mad bro 😍 Keep on with your work 👊🏼
Not sure if this helps but I had the restraint light on my bmw when I swapped seats to leather. The leather seats were from a crashed 140i. I had to swap the belt buckles from the leather seats to the ones from my original then do a reset with the obd adapter.
Sweet content mate , I reckon this m4 is going look insanely gorgeous
A monster is being born right here, impossible to be as hot as Matts Lambo though
I would guess at the seat belt clasps for the airbag light. They snap tight after an accident and shorten in length so need replacing.
Satin black would look nice. Gutted about the leather dash as that looked lovely. Too job!
It was good to see the Nice Blue Q5 Daily at the start of the video 🤣🤣👊🏻😉👌🏻 Amazing progress with the M4 Matt as always!👊🏻👌🏻👍🏻
Your gonna have to change the seatbelts Matt to get rid of the airbag light, even if they work, they would have been activated with the front airbags going off, take it from me who have had to change 5 sets from cars with dashboard airbags triggered.
Matt, I’ve been watching your videos for just under a year now, and you are a massive inspiration to never give up when going gets tough, keep up the great work and content 👌 Top bloke, Top Channel 🙏🏼🔥💯👌
Coming on well that matt.. I get so inspired by you to better myself thanks for being such a inspiration bro ❤️
I appreciate that!
Been waiting for this episode for so long and it didn't disappoint!!!
Top man, your enthusiasm is unsurpassed Mat👍.
Brave challenge, top job well done👍. Love great results😎
Great work Matt 👍👍👍
