- Join us as we take a ride in a 500 horsepower turbocharged E36, specifically an S52 powered M3 model, generously being given away by Jordan from RK Tunes. In this video, we showcase just how great this car is as it shreds on the road.
Not only do we get to experience the power of the E36, but we also take some time to talk shop and share our thoughts on E36s in general. We've been friends for over 10 years, so we have a lot to say about these cars.

E36 is the best 90's car, the best 2000's car, the best 2010's car, the best 2020's car, the best 3000's car, the bes..
@Itsblack that wouldn't happen to be your favorite BMW now would it. Lol
Love the Vids
Black🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️My Dad brags about your e36 project build actually inspired our build of my E36 back in South Africa thanks man just wondering can vvt turbo run on a E36 328i smoothly?
This vid has a TON of good info for Beemer Bois. I'm not one, but I was quite appreciative of the candid and fluent info. Super nice build. Kudos. Done right.
i love how much info it has but damn its hard for me to sit through a 50 minute video with bad audio and understand everything haha.
This type of video is what I love
Great video, you guys should Def do more videos together, good to listen to hardcore E36/46 BMW content 👍🏽
E36 3/4/5 turbo ftw - good stuff here, I could listen to you two guys talk about this car for hours 😎
when these two get together, best believe we listenin! 👌
Don’t drag everyone else in youre boring life
"Cars and Coffee" with a pro driver! Nice! Jordan is cool too...✌️ great conversation👍
I seen you grin when he said " the bigger you go the deeper you get"
That e36 needs a nice set of oem wheels
I love this style of video. Keep it up Chelsea
The tool jordan said are used to turn the spark plug socket is actually a wheel used to center your wheel since they don't have studs. The little bar will help you center them perfect when sticking it threw the lug hole.
That’s what I thought, I think it’s dual purpose
@@chelseadenofa who?
@@chelseadenofa it is dual purpose!
I came to the comments to say this 😂
you guys got me pumped to get my supercharged e36 m3 on e85 running
Jordan is the man! Great chat!
Actual dream build
Great motor. I had a Standard E36 1.8 in white Great handling car cool video 👊🙏
More on direct injection, BTR (GM LS and LT stuff) said they lost 65hp on a going from direct injection to port and 35hp on 50/50 port and di. This was an NA application but it's still interesting to hear.
I have one and love mine, I keep it in pristine condition. 98' M3 coupe, bottom mount turbo.
This is terrible timing. Been staring at an E36 for sale all evening contemplating giving the guy a call and now this pops into my feed.
Get it make sure it’s straight tho
E36 vert or?
the tool is also for pushing out the front fog lights with
Sick video🤘🤘
6:42 Im a bimmer guy, I've thought this since the F82 was announced. The quarter panels on the F/G82 are so huge, it just makes the car look longer and narrower, in turn making it look not as good as the M3s, 100% agree.
Sick video, love it! Gotta ask.. why you say drilled not slotted? because drilled crack bad under high heat.
I meant slotted not drilled. Not sure what I said tho lol
I love my E34 but E36 is right there with it for me too
There a company in Australia making them manifold for s54 log cast twin scroll it's a sick setup
Yes big and deep. Thats nice👌😌🤙
i'm 5'10 and with the stock steering wheel position in an e36, just for me to be able to push the clutch in fully, i cant reach the wheel. if i move the seat up enough for me to reach the wheel optimally, my knees are right up against the steering column and stocks. definitely need a spacer or something because that is not optimal at all lol.
Yo yo that little metal thing in the tool box in the boot actually fit in the wheel hubs to line up the holes on the wheels 😂 recently found that out. It can also be used to turn the spark plug socket.
has anyone dealt with e46 m52tub28 limp mode ? got throttle body codes replaced with new oem throttle body still nothing 😪
where i can find the front lip?
I still love the 2700rpm spool on a ct26 7m. Who cares if it struggles to make 300hp
THATS MY BOI, I love it too. Best feeling.
Can you boost a stock motor in a 328i or m3 e36?
Actually it’s a dowel for puttin in your wheels a little easier.. the grey end fits in you hub where a lug nut would go
Does Jordan do any mini Cooper tunes?
The M3/4/5 is the best M3, no question
I have it and love it
When the sound stopped sync with the video I just pretended it was a podcast.
Great content but I can't watch unsynchronized
CZcams is blowing it
After watching this it's really REALLY making me want to get another E46 328i 5spd 4dr. I loved that car it drove so damn good. I've been debating either another one or a GS300. I've had a is300 n built a friends sc300 so I have experience with but damn the m52 w/s52 cams m50 intake turbo like 500whp would be such a good setup while everything is still on the cheaper side. A gs would be more expensive to setup altho a na-t...dammit see this is my dilemma which one another e46 or a gs300
e46 has the aluminum block motor that is not nearly as reliable.
@@chelseadenofastill could take boost just refresh cooling
Hell ya, DTM look!
There actually is a cast twin scroll bottom mount by a shop called kangaroo team
Wait what foot plastic E36 thing? I haven't had this happen in my Turbo E36? I'm so lost lol. Now just get Jordan to send me back my old OBD2 harness from like 4 years ago.
I have a 92 325i m50 non vanos is it worth swapping to a m52 328i before i turbo the m50? Ive always heard the cast iron block of the non vanos m50 is better but listening to you all i wanna do a 328 m52 with s52 cams ? Any info would be great! Thanks!
In the US we have iron block 328 motors. Those are better for boost response and powerband than the m50
why decided to spray on the engine bay including screws?
The pre lci e46 sedan looks like an updated e36 and still looks very aggressive if properly built ( not the ones with m3 bumpers). The lci ones looks okay and i'd choose an e36 over it.
What size exhaust housing y'all calling big?
1.0 and larger
I daily a 328i with s52 cams and am m50 manifold 😏
Could I also have a dct in the m52 on top of this build?
I have a automatic 328i
Love the GOAT!
Sedans for life… so useful compared to two doors.
And more rigid, and when it comes to e36, the sedan weighs the exact same as the coupe.
I always wanted an e36, used to be able to get them for $1000 all day in NZ. I tried to buy one but for some reason I ended up with my W202 C280 Sportline M104 2.8 dohc straight 6
you disappointed us all
You played yourself pal. E36 over everything. I remember my first e36 for 1200
Foaming oven cleaner is good on wheels and dirty engine bays too. Especially on raw cast aluminum but neutralize it after so it doesn't turn white.
Don't use it on paint, it is caustic. I learned that lesson the hard way it burned through my clear coat
@@nzuncovered1845 never ever had a problem on painted surfaces.
@@ianm432 It might depend on the oven cleaner you use, the stuff here in New Zealand must strong because it oxidised my clear coat on my rear bumper trim I was cleaning moss off my new car
Steed speed makes a twin scroll bottom mount log. Seems legit has a video install on a m52 in a e46. 7200 is "suposed" to be the worst harmonics on the s52 fwiw.
bmw are confort, sport, look elegant, looks young, fast, good handling, relative easy to work,
What's his youtube?

re: Seat chat, I like e90 seats. I have them in two of my e30s - they're easy to adapt and control, comfy as hell, don't look out of place, and are CHEAP. I have a set I got for $35. $35!!!!
I bought a 93 325is 5spd with 150k about 5 years ago for $750 and drove it home because the previous owners dad laid under it with those jacks and it fell on him and killed him. I had one twist on the car I had before it when I was changing a tire in Mcd's parking lot but I had stuck a wheel under it so it didn't go very far. NEVER get under them with those jacks. I feel the E36 4door looks better than the coupe but on the e46 the coupe looks better. The 4 door e46's look dookie Im stripping one now for parts for my 2 coupes. The e36 interiors are just trash but they do drive better than the e46 i think. I love my e46 m3 seats also the e36 seats just broke me on long drives I always modified e46 seats and put them in e36's.
😊 This is why I have 5 of them. Lol!
I haven't seen phone footage that bad since 2012
Love the video but I wish Chelsea didn’t interrupt Jordan as much, kinda bugged me throughout the whole video ngl
By the sounds of the video, the car is not running an ATI crank damper. Why wouldn't you on an S52 at this power?
It's needed more on M54b30s - the iron block of the S52 makes it less prone to harmonic failures unless you exceed ~7300rpm. An S52 will rev to $7k all day every day until you blow the HG between cyl 5 & 6 XD
@@Mr2sauceNever heard of it not being needed on iron block's. Literally the first time i've heard someone say that.
The ATI damper was originally developed specifically for the alloy block M54b30s for Spec e46 as far as I know. M54s got a rep for harmonic failures for regularly exceeding 6500rpm, where as the iron block motors never had that issue until the low 7s @@placeholdername3206
Wait, did Chelsea move to florida?
A while ago
@@seanharrison6162 what about his drift school!?
37:00 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
M50 vs m52 and vanos vs non and why??
I had a Uber driver pick me up and he said he had 320,000 miles on the original spark plugs 2016 Tacoma
The E36 to be honest is an 80s car it was designed in 80s but in Productions the 90s
92-99 production… e30 is an 80’s car
@@chelseadenofa E36 with developing in the late 80s the like 88
@@knockout4291 why do you think it take 4yrs to design a car
Awesome video, but the desync really ruined it
Yea YT messed it all up. Trying to fix again now
I do NOT want a RK tune on my phone 🤣🤣
E36 = DTM vibes
i like , she like . i feel like , people like , i think like and like like and like........... LMAO
43:10 , its not "NFL". It is NAL, aka North American Lighting.
So when you where over seas with Aaron and field way later in that video you and Aaron you said you made 3cents that season.i always thought there was some profit.maybe got hit the podium to sea a check? I'm nosey how you get paid.other then being in a intense car professional your mad low key and I envy that litte real shit
All I want to say is I love e36s I had one and someone hit me at a red light that’s how I lost mine. Now I have been trying to buy another one since 2020 it is 2023 why are people asking 7-8k for an e36 that leaks everywhere, is missing it door cards, has a welded diff, chassis mounted shifter, is stripped of its interior, doesn’t run cause of something someone is to lazy to fix, or plain is pretty much a shell. I got 10k for a e36 that has everything still on it and hasn’t been turned into a drift car. I’m not complaining I’m just saying that through my adventures of looking for another e36 I don’t understand why I have to pay all my money for a project I can fix an e36. My original one was 1500 and I rebuilt the car nut and bolt, subframe,engine suspension. I fixed and replaced everything. But why are people asking so much for projects.
Everyone wants e36 now (me too lol). Maybe can find a clean 325i for 10k if you don’t mind high miles.
Honestly seeing the rear end of the new models with the huge grill. The new grill looks pretty nice and I think it will age well but the tail end is just like, what is going on there? Too much going on in my opinion. The E30-92 are all really classy, well-designed cars.
I agree with you about older model 3 series, but I feel the opposite about new m3s, the I like the rear and dislike the front.
@@holeefuk3162 those are beautiful too honestly. I do prefer the 3.0 NA inline 6 over the turbocharged 4 cylinder even if the latter produces more power.
About minute 17 it started to unsync , I'm 25 minutes in now
It seems to be a CZcams problem, maybe check back in a couple hours

so the bigger you go the deeper you get.
Noted.
No. Mustangs are the best cars because we live in America and mustangs are fuckin AMERICAN BAAABY!!! My 78mm single 2v 98 gt on 11 psi makes 600 wheel on pump e85. It has stock cams with a simple knockdown job on the heads and trick flow springs and retainers. I do have weisco forged pistons and some really good steel rods because rotational mass isn't as big of a deal with boosted sohc v8s as long as the harmonics aren't wonky. I do run a balancer though. Just a stock crank that was blueprinted. I have almost 18,000 miles on the build and other than a power steering pump and alternator ive had ZERO issues. I took it easy at first but im really, REALLY hard on the car now and it just takes it. I did do a lightweight flywheel, monster twin, tko 6060, summit 31 spline axles WITH FUCKING C CLIPS!!! I do not trust that whole eliminator nonsense with a drift car in particular. I have a watts link on the back with adjustable control arms and fortune auto coilovers all the way around. I like the way the car feels on track way more without a front sway bar and 800lb springs. On the street i put the bar back on with 500lb springs. Not as much angle but way more cross pressure on that outside rear wheel at full lock. It just creates a better all around car because itll slip AND stick right? I do have bbk subframe connectors and anti squat bracketry which makes a HUGE difference as long as you know how to set things up. All in ive spent $6790 INCLUDING the car. I do all the work myself and my grandpa is a master engine machinist so that helps. In 3rd i dont even have to clutch in. I just give it a blip and a flick, boom, were drifting. I do clutch in when im in 4th tho which in 4th gear isnt a problem at all. I wouldn't recommend a lightweight flywheel if ur a clutch activated driver. Buy yourself a genuine fmc flywheel and have it balanced and surfaced by a good shop and DEFINITELY get rid of the stock t45 for a t5 transmission. The t45s are complete garbage. The shift forks let go so easily for 3rd and 4th its honestly kinda dumb. Keep fresh plug wires on her and delete 4 of the 6 catalytic converters and i promise you, these cars will crawl inside your soul and youll absolutely fall head over heels in love. I love my car so much my girl gets jealous of her. She says i look at my cars ass more than her these days. Im like "BABE!!! YOU SEE THAT FUGGIN FITMENT!!! FLUSH AS FUCK!!!"
bro wrote all this out when NOBODY asked💀💀💀💀
Someone trade me their e36 for my 89 e30 coupe
No way. Most JDM cars from the 90's are the greatest cars.
What in the hell phone is Jordan using? That was the worst phone video I’ve ever seen.
Is it like an iPhone one?
E46 is better
Yeah but E46 330ci came out in 98 sooo🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
