  • In this video I got over how to flip cars and my experience buying and selling cars for living. I got this beautiful BMW M3 aka e36 M3 and we turned it into a profit. Many people wonder is flipping cars is worth it. Well as a side hustle and even full time hustle flipping cars has made me a bunch of money!

    • @corail53
      @corail53 Před rokem +4

      What value did he bring to the previous owner or the next? He is flipping cars - he has to put in the work and $$$ on top of purchase price and hope someone else buys it later for an inflated price. If you don't know how to work on cars then you will be paying a premium for a mechanic to fix issues and with the german cars they will ream you. Depending on where you are if you sell more than 5 cars per year you will have to register as a business which is also an added cost. You also don't want to use bondo on rims - that is a cheap and dirty fix.

      @@corail53 I suppose previous owner was happy to finally sell the car. And I'm pretty sure the next owner was happy to buy the car in good condition. If that's not value to you, most probably you haven't seen examples of how other car flippers operate.

You actually fix the issues and make it worth while for the new owner. You're great.

    Super fun and detailed watch, and I just learned more about these glove boxes! The only thing I'd say to do differently is replacing all old tint, regardless of delamination or physical defect - you can still see the color difference from the drivers door with fresh tint to the rear quarters with blueish tint. Tint usually has a 5-10 yr lifespan and the dyes will fade and change color, and clarity will get worse, rendering "matching" not so possible. The other cheap option would just be complete removal, but Florida and UV rays on your nice interior and skin... yeah I prefer tint, even if light. Glad I found this, rad work!

      Don’t forget to account for registration sales tax and titling the car. Laws vary state to state, but where I live you have 14 days to do so otherwise you get fined. When you register the car you have to pay sales tax so for this vehicle that would be an extra $1250 where I live. Plus registration fees, for this vehicle probably another $150.
      Then you can only do I think four per year without having a dealers license.
      Fun side hustle, but difficult to make a living at.

    Great video. I don’t repair cars but I love the way you break down a big hard task into individual steps and knock them off one at a time. I would keep that car too.

    Nothing but respect to the dedication for these videos. It just made my day to see the notification as I believe it did for most of us. As someone who is looking into mechanical engineering this gives input and education about cars. Thanks for all the work man!

    In a lot of these older BMWs, especially the E36 vintage, as seen here, parts of the interior pieces and upholstery were actually held together by glue, which, naturally, deteriorates. In a state like FL where the climate accelerates the contraction and expansion factor, I'm sure it is even more so prevalent on these older examples.

    I gotta say I admire the extra you put in to these flip because most flippers would do the bare minimum yet you brought it back pretty much certified used. 😮

    I’ve got an e36 with all the common problems they get. It’s becoming a bit overwhelming and I couldn’t seem to find any videos that detailed the fixes I would need to undertake. This video though, was the best 3 series content I’ve come across since buying the car. It is perfect. Great detail and explaining. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

    a few things

    2 - You are very skill at fixing things
    3 - lastly , I almost knew that you were keeping that bmw. I sold mine last year and I ve been having so many regrets about it , there is something about a BMW that attracts people , specially the old generation
    best of luck , new subscriber!

    I really liked this one as there was a lot of stuff you couldn’t do and hired people but still had room for profit. Makes it seem more achievable for someone like myself who is trying to learn!

    • @jchavalon
      @jchavalon Před 2 lety

      I flip cars too and now I do this instead. After trial and error I have my go-to shops that are inexpensive and leave profit still. It’s sometimes better to pay for skill.

    Great work and content, enjoy all your work. I owned a 97 M3 myself, not surprised you wanted to keep it.
    Had the issue with the glove box. Word of advice, swap out the zip tie you used and make the fastener part connect on the back side (inside the dash) so it’s not exposed in the glove box. You will eventually cut/scratch your hand on the exposed part where you cut it, reaching into the glove box. Use a black one and you’ll never even notice it’s there!
    Enjoy the M3!

      Yup, these cars are full of dumb, yet easy to fix problems. I’ll eventually sell one of mine, but not anytime soon.

  • @IzziedeD
    @IzziedeD Před 2 lety +19

    Nice make-over! Most of those issues are pretty common on E36, just make sure to keep an eye on the cooling system, since there are a few common weak points (plastic radiator ends, plastic t-stat housing, plastic water pump impeller, brittle expansion tank). Fortunately, E36 is designed with service in mind and are very easy to work on and maintain.

    • @TheChill001
      @TheChill001 Před rokem

      the E36 and in lesser form the E46 are probably the easiest to fix due to the lack of overly complicated electronics. Well...as long as you choose the cheap, unwanted US spec version.

    • @IzziedeD
      @IzziedeD Před rokem +1

      @@TheChill001 Electronics are one thing. I actually find OBD2 stuff easier to work on because scan tools allow you to glimpse into what the computers are seeing and diagnose issues that way. That said, the OBD1 can have a lot more issues going on and still operate as a functioning automobile. I was more or less referring to the physical layout of things however. Most of the suspension became way more complicated in the F series and up, and the engine bays are just layers upon layers of plastic pieces that have to be removed with surgical precision in exactly the right order or its gonna cost you a few hundred for new plastic bits. E series chassis, was not only designed for factory assembly, but my impression is it was also designed for modular and piece by piece servicing. Every nut and bolt is placed in a way where it can be accessed with basic hand tools, and nearly any part can be removed without disassembly of 1/3 of the vehicle.

    When I saw you having those small tints removed I knew you were gonna keep that somehow. And you did ! These motors were one of a kind and boy that interior looks so sexy in that white/ish color. Love it.

      I'm 22 and have flipped 5 GM trucks and vans this year. My advice is to buy cheap GM cars/trucks and learn how to work on various models with different issues. Two years ago I was afraid to jack up a car- now I'm rebuilding a 5.3 LS engine in my driveway. Take your time, save your money, learn how to diagnose! NEVER THROW RANDOM PARTS AT CARS!!
