Alex: That engine sounds a bit ropy!
BMW specialist: That is the best engine I’ve ever tested!
LOL
They Joy's of a BMW engine!
goes to show I guess
Was he not juat winding ethan up
big shout out to bruno man, the fact that he's willing to give a lot of time for us viewers.... man what a great lad
Getting plenty of free advertising
@@karlmiller3623 if you know bruno you know he doesnt need advertising lol
@Big Dongle yes
it is a commercial for his shop, obviously he is giving a lot of time for us.
@@joaoserra8273 So that’s why I’d never heard of him before CT then …
Bruno is a rare find and adds alot of entertainment value. Good episode!
He's excellent
Hey, thanks a lot!
É tuga só podia
@@pavao.mp4 Nice one man! 👍
🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
Can we big up Bruno, my man been offsetting his actual business for CH so I hope man getting paid enough to work with them.
thank you, I love working with CT guys as what you see on camera is what they genuinely are.
@@BDSMotorsport man being a mechanic myself, I genuinely wanna congratulate you on your willingness and patience for showing and explaining to ethan about the logistics of repair. I do the same with customers of mine, and know from experience that the more you help someone understand about it, the easier and more maintained their cars are next time they need something sorted and they respect the value of looking after their cars more. Maximum respect to you Bruno. Also, well done Ethan on the jobs you’ve done on the car, it’s pleasing to see your genuine pleasure and pride when you’ve done your own repair or just something you haven’t done before. Keep it up mate
Ethan just casually resting his new alloy wheel in a hedge 😂
Ethan's moving up in the world -- from changing a tyre to doing a stage 2 map on a Z3! The next video should be "Non-Car Guy Builds Car"!
Yeah that should be next
Car build project, yes defo
Banger into the bizz build 👍😁
Non car guy becomes car guy
At this point I’m pretty sure he was acting all along lol
if Alex wont turbo his miata then we have to get Ethan to turbo his z3 first
“15 minus 5” “imperial” had me fucking rolling 😂😂
This is so sick! The owner of more than tyres is my dad so seeing this is so cool ❤️
Bruno seems to be getting more comfortable with the camera. that CUT! was hilarious. and I thought Ethan was going to hug him when the rocker cover was brought out. Alex would have...
09:05 It’s at this point Ethan realises he is a fully qualified mechanic.
Bruno is excellent entertainment. He is like the Inspector Clouseau of the mechanics. Well maybe a cross between Inspector Clouseau & Papa Lazarou.
Ethan's his wife now.
The theory that Ethan is actually the most car guy out of all of them and for years he's been faking and now is slowing becoming what he has always been is interesting and I like to believe it.
Been looking forward to a project Z3 update for ages, great job. Love the show! 👌
I love these Ethan centric videos. He’s friggin hilarious 😂
"The Milkman strikes again!"- that should become a slogan of every Ethan's appearance!)))
I can see that as the next merch t-shirt.
Few days ago, I done my first ever car mod - It was literally changing the hubcaps.
*I can honestly say it was one of the most happiest days of my life*
Is fitting a hubcap really a mod???
@@andrewmelia2008 fair enough it’s only a 5 second job, but it’s a start🤷🏽
Keep working on cars and them happy days wont be so happy.😂😂
@@bennyplayz3126 very true🤣most of the time it’s modifications that are fun, and repair jobs make you want to sell your car🤣
You just took a step down a slippery slope
I love Ethan‘s excitement for everything that’s new to him, it’s like watching a child opening that one big toy under the Christmas tree and seeing the excitement in their face 😂
Bruno representing the good Portuguese lads
BDS knows so much about the M4X motors it’s astounding
You mean Ethan
@@Zzzlol94 yeah but i'm sure ethan shares a few tips with the boys here n there. Be a real shame to hoard all that knowledge wisdom and experience all to himself
BDS are the experts!
In my opinion it's still not worth tuning one of these. I'd much rather stick an M50 i6 in there. Better sound and more potential
@@GECKOZFTW as a broke ass, I prefer this i4
Bruno is a legend. Prove me wrong.
"You were right once again, it's a 12-2" 🤣🤣🤣
Bruno genuinely wanting him to learn is honestly so refreshing to see.
"I moved the limiter, 6900 is a good number"!
...hits it on the first pull :-D
these engines used to be used with a mod tuning chip that unlocked the limiter to 7200rpm making them sound real nice and making a bit more power
Bruno has the patience of a saint and the comic timing of Ricky Gervase………top chap!
The ratchet part was actually mind blowing
I know what a spoon
Ethan buying the wheels, good work boys he's broken his cherry 🍒🤣
You can tell right away that if it wasn’t for Ethan, Bruno would trash the engine beyond repair. Glad to see Ethan helping the inexperienced!
I really love Ethan's dedication to this car, he has improved so much!! Nice job mate👌🏻
Looking forward to the “Bruno & Ethan Show” coming soon!
actually love these types of vids with the knowledge bruno provides really is interesting and would be a great person to learn off of
Finally another z3 video, m44 ftw
I love where this is going but I think the absolute pinnacle of Ethan's journey would be to enter him in some racing event in his Z3, with Alex mentoring him along the way, Jack providing the funny banter and camera shit.
Love how much Bruno is coming out of his shell on camera! Awesome episode lads had me cracking up!
It's so good to see Ethan taking the time to teach Bruno
I just love how Bruno looks completely uninterested in life, but my god he's brilliant 🤣
Still waiting for the day where he just chins Ethan 🤣
Another superb episode from a fantastic series! Loving it keep up all the hard work YOU’RE doing Ethan!
So pleased you’ve continued with this
The personal chemistry between Ethan and Bruno is pure comedy gold - extremely entertaining to watch!
He is doing such a great job! I love how he plays his role and really sticks to it to a point where you barely notice it, when he actually forces it.
Great video!
I love Bruno’s comment re: just looking at peak number gains. It’s all about the gains on the curve, and also percentage of gains (this was nearly a 10% power gain), and relative to power-to-weight as well.
It's finally back!
And I'm really proud of Ethan. He's come a long way since he started.
Great video team! Given a bit more tweaking and performance upgrading hopefully we may see Z3 VS Phil on track at some point? Keep up the exceptional work!
Love the video and the awesome update on the Z3 project! What watch is Ethan wearing, looks great!
Bruno is becoming a fast favourite of mine hope he is in a lot more videos :) he’s a great guy
Guys these episode with you all in are just top tier and I’m so here for them. I love it. Yous are amazing
Always great! Congrats on the new mods!
This series is one of the very best in the automotive youtube. 😎 The Z3 is a solid and easy to work on first project car, so a great choice from the advisors 👌🏻
Bruno seems to be a really nice lad, would be nice to see him again on the channel. And well done Ethan for the wrenching 💪
It’s a privilege to know Bruno for so long, and to see what he built out of scratch only with solid hard work. Um abraço!!!
Reminds me of my early days. I was so proud when I replaced the washer fluid pump on my old Volvo.. 😄
Bruno is such a nice guy and great mechanic keep up these vids 👍🏾
Brunos smile at the end!! Top bloke
I think you guys need to buy Bruno some new lighting for the workshop!
Excellent video, really enjoying watching Ethan learn all these things.
Way too funny! Love that episode, can't wait to see the next bits!
Great video, I looked at the 1.9 Z3 for the channel, ended up with a 2.5 Z4. Been fixing bits on it ever since! 😂
Ooooh yes, been waiting for the next part soo long
Bruno is fantastic, knows his stuff, relaxed and naturally funny. Loved this vid.
Oh shit I just now realised I saw bruno first in LLF video with his 116i lol
this is the best series on CZcams ever, never let it end!!!
Love Ethan and how far he has come
9:50 he was so proud of that joke, more bruno pls
I need more of this! I wish i could do what Ethan's doing now!
Really enjoyed the videos in this series, Bruno is an excellent on screen presence. So, when is the Ethan taking the Z3 on track?
Just another superb episode. Keep the z3 saga coming!
This was excellent thank you. Amusing indeed. Be well and stay safe.
Excellent, Bruno learnt a lot from you today!
He even installed an aftermarket cat!
😂
and shortly after, it was removed - de-catted..
@@waynedl99 Damn cat thieves!
that torque bump at 4k rpm is gonna feel lovely, nicely done. Would like to see the differences between the stock and custom plenums
You guys really really need to keep doing this series🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
more project car builds please lads, great episode, Bruno is a legend.
Excellent video what a great guy, good work lads :D
Very nice! Cooperation with Bruno is great
Wait! The tuner - is that the guy with the 240 hp n/a 116i?
"I think it's time we get to bed, it's crazy late"
Me watching at 2am: 😲
Ethan looks so genuinely pleased when he says "I've taken engine apart". Keep it up boys
This series is just perfect.
bruno is comedy gold, hes on my level. my type of guy. And clearly on your level too. love seeing the videos guys. youre getting close to clarkson may and hammond in terms of famousnesesessss but much better content than they make.
clarckson hammond and may are insanely funny and have good commentary, however, the entire grand tour is overscripted filled with way too many cliches. was much better in slightly more relaxed environment.
The fine camber and combustion pug in the shot to! WIN 🏆
Been a fan of the Z3 since Need For Speed High Stakes. I like that Ethan got to change the wheels to these ones. This Z3 has a modest tune and a modest look to it so far. I like it.
Definitely time for a 944 vs z3 challenge video
14:33 Camber and Combustion's 306 gti-6 casually making a cameo 👀
Good spot Sir those guys are brilliant!
@@asimmalik6378 they really are, one of my favourite CZcams channels!
Good spot. I really enjoy their videos. I need to make some track day friends!
@@stuarthumphrey6158 so do I, bet its great fun doing track days with a group of mates!
Wheels and tyres are probably my favorite mods. You can improve the looks and add some performance by doing so 👍🏾
I love how ethan takes of a bolt and gets excited xD very entertaining
Can't wait to see more on this project
Bruno is the man and well done Ethan for getting stuck in.
love the 306 in the background, rareish colour as well
Wanna see it going sideways on every track it attends to? Camber and Combustion channel!!! :)
@@jdmfreak22 spot on... and now it has some bds magic under the bonnet as well
@@BDSMotorsport hell yeah!
My favourite line from Ethan: That's the "Main engine pipe". 😄😄😄 "Sir, I'm afraid it's bad news. Your main engine pipe has gone".
legit - genuine proud of ethan
Ethan’s willingness to share his vast knowledge is inspiring.
Ah yes its always a great day when Ethan works on a engine👹
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this, not only Ethan’s project but also the Z3! I’m aiming to buy fairly soon my grandad’s Z3, it’s near enough the same but it red and it’s nice to see another Z3 project on youtube!
Those Z3s have gone up in value like crazy. When Ethan bought his I checked the prices and they were around the 2000 Euro mark, the cheapest one I can find now is over 5000 and a decent one is 7000+.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodogot mine for 2k a couple of months ago, black with less than 40k miles. Should hopefully be worth a lot more soon!
@@thegreatcactus4922 Pretty sure it already is worth atleast 8k with that low mileage.
@Big Dongle Ok, show me a link for somebody selling one for €600.
Ethan is so lucky to be able to teach Bruno! I hope I can take my Ti to BDS shop someday!
Love this series
I'm so fricking proud, he's coming along nicely
Love the BMW series on carthrottle, Ethan makes it even better
ethan and bruno are the best combo i never knew i needed
I love how Ethan is getting more involved!
I love these Non-Car Guy videos!
I like Bruno. Good addition to the series
Great Job Ethan looks great 👍🏻
