I have always adored the #bmw #e92 #m3 but for some reason I have never owned one. Now it's time to change that with this #salvage 2013 model.
When I bought this car through the auctions at copart I originally thought I had ended up over paying for what is quite an old car with high mileage but this BMW had a few surprises for me when I had it delivered...

I am from South Africa and we absolutely love e92 M3’s!! Can’t wait to see the progress on this build…🇿🇦❤
Yeah sure, you guys like to hijack them!!
Shame on you, it must be nice labelling us from your keyboard lol
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I dare him come say that nonsense in SA, probably has never even been here. What a chop
Its no secret that SA is an extremely unsafe space full of xenophobia..
No way you overpaid on that Chris. It's going to turn out to be a great buy. Superb colour, Comp pack, great spec, late model, minor damage - what's not to love. Don't sweat the mileage at all - these cars run as sweet as the day they left the factory as long as they're looked after. I've owned several of these cars, the 'latest' over ten years now and I'm on over 160,000 miles, had the conrod bearings changed couple years ago at 148k miles and the actuators a year before that - one went at 138k miles so I got both refurbed by Rebuild with lifetime warranty...absolute joy to drive, I can see me never selling it, so much fun and a real event every time you fire it up. So much bang for buck on them, yes they may be lacking in the low end torque range but once you wind that glorious S65 up, nothing beats it in that price range or anywhere near. I've had a Stage 2 tune, a GTS DCT flash and an Akrapovic Evo exhaust to mine and it transformed the car completely, although you can get the similar gains from a primary cat removal 'test pipes' set up. Looking forward to you getting this up and running and hearing your thoughts. Regarding the whine, the pulleys dry easily on these cars when laid up, a quick dash of WD40 cures it I've found (do them one by one to locate the culprit and stop the whine)...also tensioner pulley is prone to a 'rattle' when flooring it. Anyway. I've rambled on enough! Such awesome cars. Loving the channel!
Fellow M3 (E93) driver here. This was all so useful to read!
On 71’000 miles. Was a little worried (the common adage “100’000 = death row” comes to mind). So reassuring, because I just don’t want the fun to end!!!
I get it serviced proactively (ahead of computers scheduling), use the high grade oil top ups. Would you recommend I do anything else? Thanks again
I think you might be onto something here Chris. Repairing relatable / affordable cars vs Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche could well be a gap in the market 👍
I would have used the cheapest oil available and make sure IT’s running as it should as well as getting the rod bearing’s checked / replaced and then put the better oil 🎉
I rebuilt one of these in lockdown Chris, they’re epic cars, mine was damaged on the passenger side so luckily didn’t damage any coolers, hope you get it fixed without too many issues. These cars are very temperamental if the battery voltage drops too low so if you ever have any electrical niggles bang a new battery in it
I've rebuilt mine twice. For me it was worth it!
Awesome purchase, big fan of the E92 M3. Can't wait to see the complete build and repair, all the best!
Great video as always mate keep up the good content ❤
❤Love the colour❤ Keep up the great videos Chris. Happy New Year!
My fav BMW as well 🎉 keep my fingers crossed, I admire the transition from detailing to rebuilding 💪keep up the good work and you'll soon catch up with MA level of subs. You deffo have my "vote" 🤘🤘
Love the E92 M3, looking forward to this series!
Great watch can’t wait to see the progress on channel happy new year
Hey Chris, subscribed and loved the video! These V8 M3’s really are amazing! Looking forward to more content! Happy New Year!!!
Good job Chris, congratulazioni
Love your videos chris you take on some mad crashed cars but i love watching the progress getting them back on the road. Keep up the good work mate and i cannot wait for the next update on the X3M
Brilliant vid, i love that BMW helped to confirm you made a good purchase. keep up the great work.
Great video Chris, been waiting for you to get one of these since you asked for car suggestions and I mentioned one of these. Your response showed your love for one of these. Now you finally have one. One of my dream cars also 👍
Also main bearings are something to look out for, specially the one nearest to the timing chain
Price wise I think you've done well provided the costs to rebuild aren't too high. Definitely a good spec and being a CS and Individual always helps. I previously had the E93 version and absolutely loved it...miss it all the time but sold it as wasn't getting driven and was offered silly money. Have fun with it...that S65 is a beast! 😊
Your doing a great job buddy, keep it up 👍👍
Good Luck Chris, can't wait for the X3 M....❤
Congratulations chris happy for you I owned one of these great cars for 3 years your going to absolutely love it miss mine has soon has I sold it got a F80 M3 now fast but not the same ❤
This is one of my favourite cars, I really hope you put a custom exhaust on this thing. That s65 sounds so good
Watching you and matt I fix my own car wasn't as bad as what you guys do but thanks to both its saved lot money
Awesome ! Hope you dont get the parts mixed up with the X5 parts - BMW bits everywhere 😊
Great car Chris!! Keep up the good work🎉
Love the content Chris, keep it coming 😊
Lets goo Chris! I'm a sucker for BMW's so this vid is very interesting for me. Keep up the good work!
I like this format, especially where your boys come just to help out a bit
My mum has the e93 335i in with the individual paint choice too. Hers is black but with a blue sparkle but when you clean them and get it out in the sun the flake really pops you will really like yours once you have done your magic to it.
Lads those connections under the hood are to give car power so you can get the battery.. you should then always use a jump pack directly on the battery to get the best result.
Brilliant Car Chris.
Will be awesome when finished
One of the best colours available
Best of luck Chris
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
That Rubin metallic is sick, love the car and loving the build hope for no hidden gremlins along the way 😎🤞
Mate I love watching your work on all these car so much to the point t that I am Hoi g to go back to college to study how wire cars up I need thanks for the inspiration
Big fan had one few years ago epic cars great content as always 👌
Great car love the M3 something all you guys on you tube need to do is before you start working on the car take the battery of and charge it makes life alot easier keep up the good work
You can’t beat an M3, the E92 is such a good model with its V8 engine and its playful rear end, I completely get why you went for it Chris. It will be good to see this finished and back on the road for some spirited drives 👍🇬🇧
Damn chris is love you finally this is the project i was waiting for😊
Great video, look forward to next one 👍👍👍👍
Well done Chris another great video 👍
One of my all time favorite cars as well. Good luck!
Love the videos Chris. Think you’re doing well with everything! So not to be negative but I do think you paid over the odds for the car. There are some non cat cars on auto trader at not much more cost at all so think you’ll struggle to not break the bank. Either way I’m hyped for the project!
We are Ruby Black Metallic E92 twins.
You got me real excited when you showed the color, goodluck on the rebuild
Didn't know you had your own channel. Love your style mate, new sub!
Its a wicked motor to work and own. Mileage aside its a good price for the spec. Keep up the good work big fan of M power cars myself.
Modern classic! This is my era of cars ❤
M539 has done loads to an e92 worth a watch looking forward to this build im not jealous 😢
Happy New year Chris 🍺👌🏻🏴
Well done mate, these are a dream car for me ! I will have one at some point, have to stick to my E36 at the moment which is still pretty good 😂
When you have a crash damaged car that may have lost oil and has probably been sitting for months. It's not a great idea to try and start it straight away. Replace any damaged oil feed parts first. Then PRIME the oil circuit with the fuel pump and ignition disabled. Get the oil moving throughout the whole system, camshafts, bearings etc. THEN start the engine.
I watched the whole episode, beautiful BMW as always. I hope you will be pleased with this car. I've always dreamed of something like this, unfortunately it's not within my budget. Greetings from Coventry
Love it Chris. If you call Rochdale BM and ask nicely, I'm sure they will provide you copies of the service history. Just tell them you are happy for them to block out previous owners details for GDPR 😂
I had a 2011 competition in Ruby Black what a car you just reminded me to look at some old pics of mine with the paint popping in the sunshine and it looks ace 😎I recommend once repaired do the rod bearings, an evolve engine and gearbox map, upgrade the brakes, maybe do the exhaust mod (although I never bothered as the car sounded epic) I replaced the grills with rare dark bronze ones off the M3 ltd. edition and then perfect car. Wondering why I sold mine now🤔😄 Good luck with build...
Nice car mate good to see you have some help 👍
That colour is very similar to "Etna Black" that I had on my Alfa Romeo. That will be some absolutely stunning paint when the sun shines
Yesssssssssssss this is one I was waiting for...gotta be my favourite car
That’s going to be a awesome motor when your done. Chris check the alternator mate diodes could be knackered.
Absolutely stunning car…not overpaid!!!! What a beauty
Really happy for you Chris the car is the nuts
Love the car I’ve got one as well so it’s nice to see what you guys are doing to the car. I wish i could get mine up to scratch. Keep up the good work good video as well. I’m going to bmw to see if they would give me a history on mine as well many thanks
Great vidio Chris ...just a note ..an extension on an impact gun acts as a torsion spring so you lose loads of UGA DUGA power
My dads got an E92 M3 and it’s a manual coupe they sound stunning he’s got a 2 pipe mod and when it redlines at 8500 rpm my word 😩
Edit: Rather then pressing the sport button when she’s running and driving fine press the m button on the steering wheel it makes the car behave completely different like it’s just had 7 lines of coke 😂 but you can change the m settings in the i drive
The dct are the best ones to have.
@@DaleSteel All depends on what you like but that engine with a manual suits it so well
Your dad is cool
happy new years Chris
I’ve been following mat armstrong forever and love his content. Checked this lad out and he’s just as good, but this is like the notmal version. Like a bmw m3 is attainable for me. It’s a great watch ❤
Keep going bro. We’re with you all the way ! 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Chris! Great content mate, that's a great find. I can see it was sold on 14th May 2019 with 95k for £19,925. Interesting to compare to the price you paid, but that was pre crash & pre COVID.
How were you able to find this out ?😅
@@ryansxperiance I use the app total car check, it's really good. It gives you tonnes of information on a car via the reg and it's free.
Love the e92’s 👌🏼 only ever seen one other BMW in Ruby Black, rare colour! Beauty!
You are starting to love bmws 😂😂💪great video, great car!
I am!
M539 Restaurations has overhauled the engine on one of these in case you need tips. This will be an amazing built when it’s done. Best of luck Chris!🎉👌🙏
M539 is one of my favourite channels for detailed work
@M539Restoration is probably the best CZcams channel. I hope many content creators can follow Sreten’s example. 😄
Frr
Comminnng uppp😅😅😅
You’re 29! Tough paper round. Just playing, looking forward to this series
That colour is beaut! Also love the e92
Thxs - good luck with the rebuild.. curious how you found out how many were made with Rubin - Black.. I have an Azurite Black one (E93) and have been trying to track down how many in that colour.
good luck bro❤
Good luck on the Beamer Chris 🙏👍
Great video! Noise sounds like a PAS pump?
E30 will always be the best. I'll never stop regretting that I didn't buy one in my early twenties for £8k
The start of another good series 👌
I have broke so many torx bits on that same arm. God bless halfords advanced warranty.
Beautiful car. Definitely worth the money.
being such a rare car I think it deserves an engine checkup with new aftermarket rod bearings so it lives for many more miles
The colour… never seen it. Looks bangin
This looks interesting! 🤔 How about converting it to a manual? 😁
Great great car to add for content 🔥 following will be huge. Looking forward 😁❤️
Really enjoying the videos and this ticks the boxes. I thought I had subscribed but wasnt....... I have changed it now ;)
Great colour car maybe a good one .Competition pack is the way the car should always have been.
I had 2 loved them to bits except putting fuel in was a drag even if you can afford it 😂
Love the e92 M3. Have a 335 e92 myself, but the M3 will be in my garage one day. Peace
Owned one of these (and wrote it off.. ) best car I’ve had - don’t ruin it with too many mods! Keep it simple :)
All about that e92 life. Let's go 💪
I was biding on this ruby black competition . Congrats with win
I used to work at the rochdale bmw 😅 I probably cleaned it when I came in haha
Hey Chris. Good content. Glad to see you in your friend Matt’s as well lately. So it turns out you probably didn’t overpay. Well, then please don’t click bait your thumbnails like that. The better story is that it’s a rare find, don’t you think? Thanks
Love it Chris
Power steel pump is whining try topping up and bleeding. Quality car.
These lads in the video might be good help on your other BMW also. Big up the team feeling Chris 💪👌
nice bro bro i literally just bought a e90 330d today!
Could you do a garage update please with everything you own and tell us what we can expect to see in the upcoming year?
Bmw don't start straight away if battery is fully flat.
You need to wait about 10 min with jump pack or jump lead cable then it will start.
Otherwise no start whatsoever you do.
Put jump lead and wait 10 minutes next time then try.
Top tips for you.
Ce n’est pas un concours juste des passionnés de voiture magnifique m3 👍
Love my E92 M3. I have a manual Melbourne Red one
As soon as a wheel isn’t straight they class it as structural. Bonus when it’s a £15 track rod end
my mates brother owns the same spec but its RHD its a nice car to have i think he only installed a different intake idk who made it buts its carbon
