- What do you guys think of the new look? I've been going back and forth with the direction to go on seats - and this is where I landed. Stoked on the outcome!

this car is honestly the exact definition of a teenagers car, and i love it. he straight up throws subs in and pimped out the engine bay, threw some engine mods in it, sick ah shifter and now a whole interior install. gotta love it.
thats because its his first car he modded back in the day when he was a teenager
@@PockoRC wow how did you figure that out?
Engine mods? It has a built engine swap and aspiration change? The only thing is that its still a bmw engine
you tripping lmao ain’t no teenager building this car. it’s a completely built car top to bottom
A stockish e46 325i is a teenagers car not this one bud lmao 😂
Love the M4 interior flex. Love having matt around keeping standards high. Alot of knowledge there.
You want to flex, use a CSL interior.
*M3
@@warummussmeinnameangegeben6502I’ve got that interior in my M4 CS… as standard
@@OwenK66 Glad you discovered you didn't bought a 420d
@@22Epic to be fair I was terrified it was, I’m glad you understand my relief. I also get my last comment sounded like I was trying to brag, that wasn’t my aim. More that it’s not M3 seats and they only have the M stripes on the headdress on the CS and above.
Having uncle Matt around is fantastic! Him and Mike have a lot to teach so seeing him tap in was pretty cool.
Can’t wait to see you teach him how to drift!
Guys boring as hell his voice is annoying to
Matt is a big baby, complaining about everything. Bet he complains to his wife after getting laid.
Am I the only one that could listen to Matt talk all day? The way he explains things and how calm he talks is so relaxing.
Bro not only that, but He also put a little easter egg in there for us at “26:04”
He said “igen” instead of yeah, yes.
I’m Hungarian, I think I heard it right, even the subtitle translated correctly.
Does anyone knows is He Hungarian?
Imagine seeing this car on the street with an interior that costs more than the car without knowing what it’s really packing…
that's what I was thinking the whole time lmao have to respect it tho he's gonna spend all his time inside the car might as well deck it out
This is one of the coolest builds on CZcams right now, the perfect match of sentimentality and a showcase for how far Adam, his team and the channel have come
One of the Coolest builds 😂have you seen the
DDE twin turbo f12 build?
builds dont always gotta be big power screamer cars, this is is a build, and people have tastes. @@Magpies_corey
Sounds boring. M3 convert and f8x interior swap on his first car? Now that is cool.@@Magpies_corey
You know Adam’s mindset of what “affordable priced” has changed when he says those carbon Recaros are actually affordable 🤣🤣. I love his attention to detail and how he doesn’t skimp. It makes it fun for us because we get to see the best available for builds. Something most of us will never get to experience ourselves. But.. it would’ve been dope to have E3 Customs do something sick with the interior as well.
Honestly for carbon buckets the podiums are a steal, oem carbon buckets from Porsche or McLaren are well over 10k and the podiums aren't far off in quality
@@Frank_Serota I get it, but these are made by Recaro. When you get something from OEM manufacturers, you pay the tax
I had no idea I’d be spending 20 minutes watching a seat detail but I’m here for it.
I love that Adam is doing the "Mike" thing, too. 😂 Thanks, Mike. You're doing great, Mike.
Please tell Matt he needs to become compound manager, in maintaining the compound, dude is a legend this duo needs to stick together forever loll
Hell no
Compound manager LOL. CEO of a fast growing business.
@@hallurs yeah I’m well aware lmao I’ve ordered from his site a few times.
It's my back-up plan. Head of LZ Maintenance.
Poking fun at Mike with Mike is top notch.
Damn don’t we all wish we could do this to our first car?
I saw the length of this video and was expecting to skip through this but I cant believe I watched the whole video without any skipping. This was so damn interesting and satisfying I have no clue why.
Adam! Loving the 00's bimmer content. As a connoisseur myself, I'd recommend checking out the GROM bluetooth adapter for the factory head unit. Handsfree calls, bluetooth audio, integration with the OEM system, I think that it would be a great addition to this build.
BlueBus is good too
I know Matt was like, “YES!” to the seat leather cleaning. 😌
This video feels like a vibe of watching Bob Ross. I'm here for it 🏞
Loving the first car build! I remember seeing you hype this thing up back in the day
I love matt and how he loves explaining why and how he does the things he does, being autistic in that way is a real value 😁.
40min seat install. The OGxLZ collab is real and I love it.
Thanks for the inspiration Adam. Finally got my 98’ 328i boosted thanks to simple videos like this
I could sit and listen to matty talk all day his knowledge and experience in cleaning is brilliant
Loved the leather tricks...never would've thought about using a slightly acidic cleaner to refresh the leather. Thanks for the tips
Wow, you're killing it Adam and Mike. Love the E46 content
The seatbelt modifcation is probably alright, but considering all the variables when designing a seat buckle i would not take the chance. The material may be different, which in turn when removing material will lead to it failing. Be aware of this if you are planning to modify safety equipment.
It’s so satisfying taking pieces from a newer or different car and making it look and look as good as factory or better!!! Great Job!!!! Looks like a 2023 model car inside!!!
I love this series!
My first car is a 03 325 too, this motivates me to work on it 😁
41:41 Have a look at bluebus, a really neat device for bmw’s this age. Plugs into the cd changer harness and enables Bluetooth on factory radios with title support and so on - also you can enable comfort blinkers, automatic door luck ups when moving off etc with it, all within the radio settings! All these small things makes a big difference.. Have one in my e46 and loving every bit of it!
Really enjoy you wrenching on pretty much anything, compound upgrades are great as well.
Little front seat removal pro tip from a previous interior guy. Unbolt the seat then scoot it all the way back, lay it back like your going to unplug the electronics then stuff your hand into the seat where the bottom meets the back rest and other hand in front then just tilt it sideways where your seat brackets and cushion is facing towards the door and pull it out facing that same way. This will almost gurantee you don’t take a chunk out of the steering wheel or any panels with the seat brackets and is a super easy way to take out and install front seats
I'm stoked for this bmw project. I did a rear folded seat conversion in my e39. It's not terribly difficult, you have to drill out the rivets in the back plate and then it should come out. The hardest part will be the brackets. You may want to source those from the f80 if you don't have them
Man I had a e46 325i as my first car and I totalled it recently and seeing you build your first car makes me miss my first car
Matt so chilled and humble peace ✌️
Uncle Matt sure knows how to explain things
Love seeing people talk about PH. Its such an underestimated aspect of cleaning and dealing with textiles.
I legit sprained my back getting the seats out of my 03 330i when i had it. Swapped 390 sport seats into it. Great upgrade .
Finally someone did it!
Can you do an update on the rear seat installation? I have an e46 wagon I want to do a retrofit to with this seat combo. That way I can call up my buddy at “Straight Six Auto Parts” and place an order!
So dope watching this because I have the same year and color. Definitely requires lots of love but such a fun car to drive.
Bro my e39 headliner drives me nuts, I'm glad to see how yours came out ❤
Digging the OG LZ rebuild/restoration
The other thing that could be done for the seatbelts… is the entire seatbelt assembly could be removed. Just removing the b pillar interior plastics would allow access to
GREAT IDEA! I thought I wanted to keep my 335i seats in my e90 but I mmiiiggghhhhtttt have to do that too. Good stuff Adam.
You should do a video of the 335i it has been a while i love that car a lot and it just sounds so good with the exhaust and the pops it makes
Hell yea love the older style videos
Hi adam big fan from south Africa
Same same
Stoked seeing Matty on your channel
Shaving down the sides of the seatbelt buckles to fit was the cherry on top for sure!
I am very much of a detailer geek! Love the leather seat video learned so much!
I have the same thing with my E60! Black Alcantara everything. It was a fun job but man do I love a full full black interior in the BMW.
Uncle matty is the best not even jokin love seeing you guys collab his obsessions make him who he is he don't care who you are he wouldn't ever steer you wrong
Try some punctuation. It shows where one thought ends and another begins.
If you're keeping the stock headunit, you could go the BlueBus route
More with the E46 please! Love the seat swap, I'd like to do that with my E46 M3
Incredible segment with mat
Learned a lot and can apply this to my older AUUDI leather seats, when its warmer here in new york.
I love that E46 , its getting so cool , keep the good work :)
This build is fantastic
Nice job on the refresh
Matt to the rescue with those seats!
They turned out great!
This is my favorite project of yours. Cant wait to see where it goes next. Do a leather dashboard!
Been here since the box days I remember the roof rack.. u came a long way
I did coupe seats my E90.. you the only person other than me I’ve seen do it.. I still have the sides of the backseat exposed 😅.. but the backseat extra comfortable and feels like bucket seats 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
They Look great!
i love it, been watching the series for a min, just wish your were more interactive with ur fans fr. love the vids, been here since 2016
Been a while since I clicked on a notification so quick
Here from Griot’s garage channel I really enjoy watching a father show his son how to detail car’s
Being a shoe cobbler/ leather craftsman, Matt has me nerding out with this video!!
I think it’s funny out of all of his cars this is the one I get most excited about
Maybe I don't recall seeing you wear them before, but the clear Vice's look 🔥🔥🔥
Love those protective glasses. They are boss!
matt is so smart the man spits straight knowledge..
The E-series BMW's had the option to have the M Performance Recaro seats installed (Retrimed Recaro CS's). Those were the OG OEM baller mod back then for the E chasis,
Looks really clean
Damn, it's nice to see I am not the only maniac wanting a mod like this. I might be doing it this year if all goes well so it is nice to see it can be done without an enormous headache. I was also thinking about the backseats and I believe I will just end up reupholstering it instead of going through the process of making the new ones fit
Did you do this mod yet?
Keep killing the game lzmfg crew!
P.s. can't wait for my order so me and my son can match❤
@32:00 another option is using a Sedan seat frame as that has a spot for the belt to be bolted to on the seat underneath that removable cover. I swapped M2 Competition seats into my F31.
Wow awesome job! The E46 is the last proper 3 series bmw. Really love that car
Who remembers Tommy chop shop and his bmw part outs !!
This car is sick I love the subs!! 😍
Bricked up watching that seat transformation. 🧱
Looks amazing
Love that we got the same car❤
getting this masterclass for free is insane
YES ADAM GO IN ON THIS!!!!
Very cheap and good working bluetooth adapters on amazon for the stock radio. just threw one in my e46 m3 putting it more back to stock inside.
I’m so hyped please keep my r34 clean
I'm here for all the e46 content ❤
What a beautiful car and job on it.
Hopefully this one’s my chance. Been participating since the first giveaway with 717 and almost all the old giveaways with inshanedesigns. Love the videos and yall motivate plenty of people. Keep up the good work fellas
Matt should have the Leather Fresh Colour Lock leather cleaning, dye and repair product with him. If you have a classic Porsche that’s who they go to. The mild and strong leather cleaners are the best on the market. With their foaming pump bottles, you pump the foam on the brush, never directly apply cleaner to the leather itself it is to wet and can discolor it.
A cashmere comb will remove the pills on the alcantera. ✌️
Matt finally trying the “idiot line” haha good stuff
Sweet! Look OEM +++ ( I have an old BMW E46 330CI, and it need some new seat love and some BBS 18" wheels )
Damn that looks good!
Take the backseats to a upholstery person have them take apart the stock seats and put on the new seats, upholstery on the old seats, including those little side pieces. It’s worth a try.
This video is so satisfying.
Matt's home garage is frikkin amazing. Now I loath my own.
For the back seats u should get the m sport seats which are alcantara and canvas, i think they would look good in that
For anyone looking for a more economical swap - Z4M seats are straight swap into the e46 and do well on the sedan as they are fixed back
the 3.5mm jack audio mod go crazzyyy
The seat moving forward to back. Stops half way in all f and maybe even g series cars! If you hold move forward lol enough it will stop and you have to repress it forward to get it going all the way forward ! My f30 does this as well. Form factory
Love this video
should deff look into f30/f80 rear seats
