I love the part in the video where the Bimmer said "It's Bimmin' time", and Bimmered all over the place. Hater's garage, truly a master in film direction.
Just found you. Definitely subscribing. Love your videos. Converting an I-X to rear wheel drive... I hate you for this, but I definitely would have done the same thing. Don't know how many times I've gone to BMW for parts and done something f****** nuts because I didn't want to buy the correct fix. As bonus points, make sure you go to a BMW dealership, request a quote on the parts to fix it and then when it's too expensive, tell them exactly what you're going to do and watch their face as you walk out the door. Lol
Gonna make money on this build by selling all the IX parts lol. Really the purists should be happy because now there are more parts out there for them to nab.
using the ends of those axles basically looks like the factory honda stubs in the back of my accord so theoretically that should be solid for years to come
Dude you literally had the same idea I had for my 325ix around the same time. Nobody has ever done this conversion because they think it’s too hard but it’s almost pretty straightforward, bmw left all the provisions needed to make these cars rwd. I hope you swapped the viscous diff for a welded one too. I was wondering how I was gonna remove the fwd axles, I was thinking of finding a hub and bearing with the same geometry and pressing it into the knuckle to keep everything simple but your method of cutting cheap axles might work too
Also I was wondering why your driveshaft came up short compared to mine, I just realized you bought an auto driveshaft, I used my spare driveshaft from my nice build that was 24v swapped, since the original ones diameter is too small, basically I’m using spare parts to make this a RWD deathkart lol
Yeah the conversion isn't too bad, just a lot of welding. Important, load bearing welding. I've cut more of the cheap axle ends off since this video, they're basically just bolts now. I actually just welded the diff today, as well as shortened the steering knuckles for more angle. That video will be up some time next month
kind of genius actually. might make more reselling those stupid front shafts than the car is worth with all the rusty mess everywhere lol, and a lot more fun to be had with it too. and while i'm not necessarily up to date on any series that might have been made with this beamer, i am *very* intrigued by what i can only assume is a supercharger whine and a seemingly not-stock exhaust...
I did think about that, I also considered putting bird shot in it. After some research, I saw some people saying it doesn't work that well, so I didn't try it.
I did a RWD conversion on a 996 and bascially had to do the same things with the front wheel bearings. I used a lathe to chop the cups off but you did it the way I wanted to but my stupid work won't let me.
@@HatersGarage right on bro. I removed the engine and trans. Planning to put in my m20 IS built engine to see if it fits along with the getrag 260 Trans
@@HatersGarage Yeah, we do some things better, but our particular selection of motorsports is missing some of the best entries. At least NASCAR has some badass modern designs now, though.
@@Drunken_Hamster NASCAR is alright, I just wish they would implement a classic series and run 70s 80s 90s cars etc. But they won't because "iT's uNsAfE"
@@HatersGarage I'm 90% certain they can run a modern cage an hans device and whatnot in an otherwise oldschool setup car. The fuckin dirt cars running in the grassroots scene do, NASCAR has no excuse.
@@HatersGaragewith the death of the sedan nascar is about to lose the last connection it has to “real cars” Edit: you should trick out an AMC Eagle and use it for what it should have been doing all along: rallying. They are technically AWD with a RWD mode so you can go straight from rally to burnouts. Upgrades for them are dirt cheap because 90% of the upgrades are just XJ Cherokee parts (4.0, AX15, NP231/242, XJ D44, rear leaf springs are interchangeable) or upgrades FOR XJ’s, like big brake kits. Hell you can put a 6spd from a TJ in there if you want. Worst part about them is the weak rear axle and expensive lower ball joints. I think you could make a very fun car for around $2000
Hey man, I’ve got a 325ix that needs refreshed axles. I figure its easier to refresh some that are already out, put those in, then sell whatever comes out of my car. Where are you in VA?
That's a broad subject I can't really explain without a 20 paragraph essay. If you are serious about learning I would get a force feedback wheel and play some sim games like BeamNG and Assetto Corsa.

boys say "i want a drift car" and spend 15k financing a used g37. Men get a rare awd car from the 80s then cut up the driveshaft to make it rwd

I love your ability to take duct tape and gum and make basically the coolest shit ive ever seen.
Modify what you have with what you have is my thought process
I also use the excuse of, "It's got the bolts! Come on, it's like they're encouraging me to fix their mistake."
For real though, why would they put those bolt holes there if they weren't meant for me?
Sending this to all my bmw friends. Watch in horror as your beloved awd system is chucked into the trash!!!!
truly a cinematographic masterpiece. you’re my papa now
I like your funny words magic man.
Nice edit! Mine was not only converted to rwd but also M57 diesel swapped by a prevous owner a few years back. Made it a lot more affordable.
Just found your channel, pure comedy gold. Subbed
It's really good I love it
I've only seen the title and I want to poke my eyes out. Keep it up, my guy!
god i love ur channel. quick, concise, and straight to the point funny ass videos. keep it up big man

I like the common theme with your licensplates...;.
The urge to LS swap and RWD my IX grows. If only it wasn't in need of serious body work to load bearing parts. :(
Comment for the algo, good stuff. I’m tempted to do that method for the u joints on mine
It's not too hard after you figure out how to get the first one out

It definitely made sense to remove the front wheel drive and sell it. Also that whine you heard was just my transmission with the solid mount, lol
5:54 I like it already
Omg bro the cops in va are so ruthless
You can ghetto balance a driveshaft by filling it with a little bit of oil.
I did think about that, I also considered putting bird shot in it. After some research, I saw some people saying it doesn't work that well, so I didn't try it.
love your stands man. bricks
Brick strong. Brick mighty.
Okay, this channel is epic :DD not afraid of the cop's at all xDD Insta sub. Keep going dude ;D
Go to any tracks and spend the couple Hundo on a track day my guyy
I did a RWD conversion on a 996 and bascially had to do the same things with the front wheel bearings. I used a lathe to chop the cups off but you did it the way I wanted to but my stupid work won't let me.
Yeah it took me a while but I eventually cut through the cups with the angle grinder so they're more compact now
That unbalanced drift shaft is going to ruin everything it's attached too
I'm gonna get it balanced.
awesome, but imo needs passenger side pipes
Nice bro! I have an e30 325ix that I want to convert to RWD as well. What did you do about the front diff and oil pan since the axles go through it
I just left it, it doesn't leak when you take the axles out
@@HatersGarage right on bro. I removed the engine and trans. Planning to put in my m20 IS built engine to see if it fits along with the getrag 260 Trans
@NickDompierre I think using a getrag 260 from a manual car will work, you may even be able to use a regular rwd driveshaft with it. ((maybe))
@@HatersGarageI’ll keep ya posted
With that much droop it could be a rally car!
It would be an excellent rally car, too bad it's not a popular sport in the US.

Bro go to Florida, Virginia is cop hell
a much smarter solution would be to replace the entire car with a 325i. all these alterations are sacrilege.❤
Only reason I didn't do that is I would lose money, I have too much into this car.
Yeah i ferl you non info for that, and I'm building rwd into AWD and had the same problem had to messure all by myself!!
that was pretty cool
That’s factory🤟🏻🔥
The "Cut it" clip is underrated
also what fucking sockets did you use in the vice grip holy shit
Cheapo harbor freight sockets
swag asf videos man, keep it up
It has viscous coupling AWD, maybe not much value lost.
I had the opportunity to buy one of these bad boys during the summer... but not the money. Ugh, so sad.

This is actually really cool. I have always been interested in how drifting works. How do you drift? (not in general but how you personally do it.) :D

What part of Virginia do you live in? I also live in Virginia.
Did you swap in a rwd pan and sump? Or left the iX setup with the axle holes open?
Left the holes open, not much reason to swap pans apart from looks.
@@HatersGarage Good to know. I’ve got a 325i trans and driveshaft. Debating whether or not to throw them in the iX.
@obscurexss good if you want to drift it, just keep in mind the ix shock towers are different so you can't have as much caster. It will never turn as well as a normal e30
Little more complicated than making a manual Subaru rwd
Did you get the driveshaft balanced yet?
Not yet, I'm going to have it balanced before some drift events this summer.
Nooooooooooo! 😭
What if try to mix put X pipe with H pipe at the end or next H pipe with x pipe at the end 😂
Was this one tire fire? Curious what the rear diff is like in these
Pretty much, yeah. I have to really force it to go sideways, I'm just going to weld it.
Love the content ✊🏻😂 🇦🇺
The only thing not rare on this car, is all the filler and the paint coming off 😂
Weight reduction bro, racecar.

Damn that was awful man. That car is a lot more interesting as awd
