Wow this is the type of quality I hope to be able to put into my E46, people will never realize the amount of effort, planning and time it takes to do something like this
What kind of paint are you painting on the underside of the car?
Thank you. Thats kind of you. Theres definitely is a lot of planning and work involved, so i appreciate the recognition. I use hammerite paint on the underside. There are probably better alternatives out there, but this has worked for me so far.
Stock rims were better
This must be the cleanest E46 I've ever seen. Nice work, man!
From start to finish, it's just a masterpiece. Enjoy every second of it while driving. You did what many men want but don't have chance to make it real... You deserve all the compliments bro, keep going 👍
That warms my heart that. Massive compliments. btw I bought the house because of the accompanying garage lol
Wow, what a video.
I was in awe watching that.
I've got a 2006 E46 CD and I'd love to be able to do that kind of restoration to it.
Restoring the calipers with replacement kit and painting, instead of replacing them was class also.
Congratulations sir.
🎉😮😊🎉
Thank you sir
Man I enjoy every minute of that video... Your attention to detail is mind-blowing 🤯 I wish I had a garage like you... Or even just a lift... I definitely would spend all of my time in there... please don't stop making videos man... 10⭐ 10👍🏾
Thank you. Im humbled. Having a lift definitely makes a big difference. Can only recommend.
Nice to see a Follow Dane doing restaurations on CZcams too! Excited to see what yout going to work on next
Too few of us here😊
Nice compilation. Great to see it from start to finish. You really see how far you've come with the car. Still jealous of your garage and lift 😂❤
Im jealous of your 318🤣
Its also starting to look really good. Well done.
Tim your attention to detail is second to none. You Sir have created a masterpiece. I really enjoy watching your videos. I have learned so much.
Thank you. Im happy to share it with you and other likeminded people:)
Bravo 👏, thanks for taking me through your entire restoration journey, you did what everybody who loves/owns an e46 dreams of, you took no shortcuts. As bmw enthusiast who's also restoring my own e46 your videos have been motivation to me. Thank you again. BMW E46 FTW!!!
Thank you. It motivates me when i get messages like this. I have a lift though which makes everything so much easier than what 9/10 of others are doing out there but thank you. What e46 did you go with?
@@OEMplusRESTO I had to say something your videos where awesome. One day I'll have a lift like yours I just have to convince my wife lol. I went with a 2005 e46 330xi, I needed an AWD car for the winter when it snows, I love it. I also own a 2020 rwd m340i but it isn't the best on those snowie icy days.
@@marveliosguevara9988 that 340 must rip compared to an e46😮 onæy tried the 330i and evem that one was pretty nippy!! I was in luck with the lift. Previois owner of the house installed it😅
Very committed work. I like it a lot. The end-result is speaking for itself!
This is perfect. Gonna do the same with mine
Dont forget rearsubframe reinforcment plates, they had cracks in the car and didnt reinforce i cant understand why not..
@@sub7up. that's on the list too. Even for the shocks upfront as well
I don't think this car is going to be ragged. That weld will be stronger than a factory released car. He drilled then filled.
Great popup, also currently doing a E46 330 @ sub7up
Making a trackcar 👍💨
This is beautiful artwork. Amazing !
Hey dude just want to say been watching your videos for a few months now and you’re really doing a fantastic service for the e46 community here man! You seem like a sound geezer, but just wanna thank you for everything you’ve shown you’re really helping everyone who’s picking these cars up in this decade and obviously they all need a bit of work. It’s a daunting task if you’re new to working on cars but you’ve really elucidated a lot of the work and it’s mega mega helpful! Appreciate your time and knowledge bud, thanks again for all your hard work and your willingness to assist and help the community. Not a lot of humble guys out here working on motors.
Maximum respect ❤
Right back at you dude😎. I like Sharing with you guys so im just happy pepple want to watch the videos, and like you, also reach out. If people find my videos helpful for their next e46 project, my goal has been achieved. A Big thank you for the kind words😊
You should place there drilled brake rotors, looks much better. I got some in my 330Ci'04. Nethertheless nice clean resto. How I like, stock+, nice job
Looking forward to this one 😁
Great effort and a great video!
this channel is so underrated the the work you put on
Thank you so much
TUV technician will love this car ! Awesome work, my dream 330 ci !
Good job my friend. Incredible work and a lot of time and effort!!
oh man this is so beautiful to watch, so wonderfully restored. I hope one day I can get the space to even do it half as clean as you have
Thank you for the kind words. If you have the time you can do it too:)
Your a pro Tim! Enjoyed your video!
virkelig flot arbejde Tim💪. dine videoer får mig til at savne min gamle e46 323ci🥲
Tak Tony. De er også dejlige biler de ci’er
Massive job done

Thank you. I appreciate the support sir/Victor. Much appreciated.
super underrated video
Fantastisk arbejde Tim! Dejlig at se en god video efter en hård men vellykket EL eksamen!
Håber det gik godt💪 og tak for støtten:-)
You made a marvelous job
Thats what i'm tryna to do on mine that is in much worse condition than yours
Thank you. Im sure it will be done one day or another💪
Autor did perfectly, awesome work
Good job!🎉
Car is having the time of its life 😂
Give it a nice paint polish and you are done 💯
Thank you. I will do it in a video or two. Working on a lowering spring video right now. After thag though, why not:)
He is an artist!!
Awesome work! 👌
Thank you. Much appreciated:-)
Great content and thanks for sharing the knowledge. New subscriber from 🇲🇽👍and owner of 325Ci (06) and 330Ci (03). Lots of work and money, but great cars! 😎👌
Thank you for subbing. In glad youre here being that if you own 2 of these machines you clearly know your way around a bmw💪
I like how real this guy is, no BS. Subsribed and thank you!
Please complete average acceleration from 50-110 as I believe you gained HP just by the way you treat her.
Thank you. I try my best to not fluff around. I get a bit of discounts on parts from the local parts pusher, but no sponsors or gifts💪
That was amazing what a talented and hard working guy you are. I have a 2003 E39 530i Msport which definitely needs the same treatment although I think I might now just paint the break callipers which is probably the limit of mine mechanical skills but your still a great inspiration and that underside paint colour is cool . Keep the videos coming I just subscribed for more inspiration ....👍
Thank you. Ive had a regular 530ia and its the car ive enjoyed the most i terms of just daily driving and useability. Would love to restore on this channel honeslt
How stock is it?? The msport stock ate very capable imo. What a lovely car
Amazing job i wish to make my e46 like this ❤
I just saw that my comment didnt post on the video! :D
Great video! I really liked the little "timelapse" of all the previous videos leading up to this now perfect car :)
I would be scared to even park the car outside now with all the salt in the winter times here in germany :D
Also if you ever want to use my mike sanders kit for a future video you can hit me up and ill send it to you !
Thank for the offer. Is ot a kit to blowrust prevention inside small areas a bruah cant get to?
@@OEMplusRESTO Yea and also the mike sanders fat itself :)
Its used for places like the rear fenders to let the fat creep into the deep spots and prevent water from getting there :D
Every summer it becomes loose again and creeps further so its a do once forever thing
Fin bil og bra arbeid!!
Sooooooooo clean!!!!!!! Can u do my e46 next lol
it's amazing)
Great Video, inspired me to do the same
Thank you. That means alot to me💪
I wanna do this level of restoration to my 330ci however step 1 is to have a ramp and the tools 😢 as someone who is self taught and in a family that doesnt already have tools, having to buy the tools along the way is a bummer. Hoping to do my manual swap this summer and aspire to complete my build to this standard :)
Tools and equipment are the biggest costs. And time. The car is cheap in comparison:) i hope you one day will find all of the above. In the meantime, park it in a garage or a carport, amd keep up om the oilchanges. Thank you for the nice words
great vid. did you have to pick the creepiest music ever for the background noise?
Didnt find it creepy myself 😅
Great video, how long did it take you to make all this? And where did you manage to find a gear shifter repair kit.
About a year id say. I bought everything for the shifter individually. Part mumbers in the description
Άψογος!❤️
Thanks🙏
Which paint did u use for the wheel arches? Looking for that OEM colour
Hammerite. But i dont know the color code as i got the wrong one. Too yellow. Then mixed it with black for a more olive green like color
@@OEMplusRESTO ah too bad but thanks!
This is amazing! How much would you charge to do mine?!
Thank you. Sorry i only have time for my own car
goddamn that became like it was just out of factory
To be honest u should've kept the csl trunk and wheels it looked good
I appreciate the honesty. Thank you. These wheels in black doesnt do it justice. I did score an oe color version of it lately which will be going on them in a video or two
Hvad er det for en lak du bruger til undervognen?
Hammerite på pensel.
What's your take on powdercoating the suspension parts instead of hammerite? Or maybe both would be good (powder + hammerite) ?
Powdercoat will always beat regular hammerite or any other paint. I hope i havent made an impresseion it wont. For me its a matter of getting stuff dione at my own pace without involving anyone else in it. Being i mainly drive n good weather hammerite will get me s long way but powdercoat would get me a mot further honestly, im a broke boy lol. Evwry dollar saved i can use on other mods that matter more
@@OEMplusRESTO But sometimes powder does chip of or something, so maybe hammerite over powder would be a good sandwich? I'm kind of delaying my rear suspension tear down/upgrade to be honest... Some parts are still missing. But hats off to you, your videos make me want to progress with my journey :)
@samisvideo if i were to do it over and not worry about cost or time id “just” powdercoat the front and rear subrframe. Everthing else paint is fine. Tbh paint is fine if you only tale the car out on good days too.
@@OEMplusRESTO I really like that you're active in the comments section. Thumbs up! Looking forward to future videos.
@samisvideo bro im here for the comments/engagement/community. I only started sharing because i want to reach out. Happy to connect. I can chat cars all day long if you will💪
hvis du nogensinde får lyst til at sælge den er jeg meget interesseret.
Den kommer nok til salg om er par måneder. Og mange tak for kommentarerne
Next up. Help me with the e46 330i I just bought from you : ))
Ingen problem, du skriver bare:)
what to do when there is nothing to restore OEM+? Luckly BMWs of this age break down all the time.
Theres always something 🤣 But im kindda looking into getting am e36. But i will try and make a poll for us so we can vote on what people would like to see. E30, e36, e38 e39 or maybe another e46! The model is not super important to me as i will end up selling it either way to fund the next project lol
how much did you invest in restoration not counting hours ?
I dont know. Not sure i want to either😅
@@OEMplusRESTO great youtuber
I buy the next month an e46 330i cope how much does it cost to restaurate the car like this? Can someone help me 😃
Good choice in car:)
Cool video but disturbing music.
Yeah there is room for improvement it seems.
wish i had the tools time and skills to do this and save my e46
Skills you do. If i can do ir you can too. Its a question of time and place kike you mentioned💪
100 bucks and you do the same in my e46
Hey bro can you do my e46
I dont have the time lol
Hey bro how much did spend on this restoration if you don’t mind sharing
Cleaning and painting old parts like wishbones and so on is just nonsense and waste of time and energy. From my own experience: if something like the engine mount piece is rusty, you wont overcome the rust with paiting....just put on grease/wax and it will stay brown and ugly but it wont rust further or very slow
