  • We are installing reinforcements and bracing on our copart auction 1995 BMW E36 M3 S50 5 Speed manual build. ECS Tuning and Turner Motorsport have quite a few products available for the E36 chassis both M and non-M cars and this video goes over some tips and installation of the front strut bar, rear carbon fiber strut brace, X-Brace Chassis reinforcement, and the skid plate engine splash shield. I also go over how to use a Rivet Nut tool (even how to make your own rivnut tool). Links to all of the parts and tools are down below. The installation guides mentioned in the video along with applicable torque specs can be found on the links of each item under the installation tab. Thanks for watching!

    Nice mods guys. I had a front strut bar on the e36, and it was definitely an improvement. But mine was a vert...Thanks for sharing, Dutch regards Nico.

    Great video. Been watching alot of your e46 videos as that's what I have as well. Very helpful. Any tricks to remove the rear brake lines? Thanks keep up the great videos

    • @ShopLifeTV
      @ShopLifeTV  Před rokem +3

      Thanks! I’ve got a DIY video for stainless brake line install on the e46 that goes over this

      @ShopLifeTV I've watched it numerous times and still having an issue. I think it's just a build up of rust living in Canada. Your videos are great and very helpful

    Hey man, I was watching your e46 epoxy video and I was hoping to get an update on how it held up?

  • @TH3TIMP5
    @TH3TIMP5 Před 7 měsíci

    Not sure how I feel about using threaded inserts for stuff that’s going to get a lot of force through it. Surely they would become loose after a while. How are they holding up?

    Bro i need help , the front end of a e46 facelift station wagon is same as the sedan one ? And the front right rail of the frame is the same of all e46 versions?

    Hey Jason! And CZcams!, my e46 330 keep pulling its self into grooves in the roads, even some potholes will pull really hard on my steering wheel and the wheel is also offset to the right a bit, cant really figure out what could cause this, anyone have any experience with this maybe the e46 Lord himself? Love to hear what u guys think❤

    Do you have a shop? I need my rear main seal changed and the only place that will do it is the dealer and they charge over 4000…

    Anyone try the Turner E36 X-Brace on an S54 swapped car?

    Where have you been?? What is your suggestion when you should replace shocks on BMW'S. And what types for the car?

    • @ShopLifeTV
      @ShopLifeTV  Před rokem +2

      Working on big projects the past few months which we are still filming for. Shocks and struts are usually at the end of the life span around 60k miles depending on driving conditions and any mods. Bilstein is always a good brand when staying with stock suspension

      Thank you kindly. Looking forward to more of your videos. Go Bimers 🤓

    @ShopLifeTV Are BMW's more reliable as in longevity than a Toyota or Lexas? What is your opinion?
    Maybe you already have done a video on this but if not, Consumer Reports lists Toyota, Lexus, and BMW as the top most reliable cars today. I can't believe that BMW is one of the top? What is your opinion since you know them inside out?
    BTW, I'm an Uber driver and since hearing this, I am pondering the idea of buying a BMW hybrid which I will expect to get atleast 300k miles.

    You said a 1995 car is older than you. I hate you so much right now (j/k)
