Oh man, this was a blast to watch. It’s been a background car ever since I subscribed but somehow this car had always been the main image of your channel to me. I am beyond excited to see this thing running again. And even if it’s missing some cosmetics, it’s still so beautiful
Thank you so much! As this channel ages, I do believe most long-term fans will come to see and recognize this car as "my baby." It's the one that isn't going anywhere, and that I'll always be striving to improve.
@@stanceworks Take good care of that car turn out looking really awesome, watching your work on cars from Europe.. keep posting good content anyone likes what you done so far ! ;0)
@@stanceworks You're right on that one, this is your highschool sweetheart, the one to take to prom so to speak! Can't wait to see whats next for her when you want to improve it even more than it already is!
Thank you for continuing to make content that you want to make. I came here to hear what YOU have to say, not to watch what the viewers want to see. For me, the moment most CZcams channels lose me is when they stop doing what they set out to do and start doing what gets them views. Keep it up, Mike.
This E36 made me buy my first E36 back in 2012 as a HS self-graduating present, though it was a 318is, it was even grey too! Thanks Mike for your continuous work & keeping this hell of a Machine alive for the next generation to enjoy & be inspired to buy an E36!
As an Italian car fan (I own a Maserati and 2 Alfas) I don't understand why people don't enjoy the BMW episodes as much as the Ferrari ones. They're as entertaining and educational as each other... Mike, the BMW looks absolutely amazing! Love it.
There is nothing better to any petrol head than the first drive after days months or years of working on a car And that grin on your face says it all. Keep up the great content 👏
If you ever feel pressured or dejected due to your progress on the Ferrari. just remember project binky! 7 or 8 yerar build that has kept viewers glued to every stage of the build! It is always better to do it well than to do it fast :) I for one am here for the long haul and im relly liking these interludes where we get to see your othe amazing projects! Keep it up man, we appreciate your face!
Mike, 3k’s + and you went through the barrier! HOW COOL IS THAT!? I’m so stoked to see this Beemer coming to life… now the Model A and the 308K and the world is yours! Thanks for such an awesome content, keep rocking!
I'm really not a fan of BMWs at all BUT it's been so enjoyable watching you put together your "old" car and seeing how stoked you are on getting ever close to this milestone from todays episode. Keep it up!
This might be controversial but I (as an e36 owner) love watching these almost more than the Ferrari build - both are jaw dropping and hands down the best build series on youtube
Wow, the new trim really does transform the look, excited to see it with new skirts and lip. Hope you can get the interior back soon too, this is looking killer!
I remember my first drive when i upgraded to KW V3's and got the posche calipers up front. And again recently when I got my car back from my friend's workshop after he'd completed the engine rebuild and mapping session Car is so nice to drive, and that sence of satisfaction every time you completed that major overhaul. Congrats on the first drive, hopefully it'll help you finish out the car out. Looks absolutely epic.
E36 looks fantastic, Mike. Don't worry about the M badges, most markets outside the US have M Sport models where the badges are present on certain specifications of BMW with a host of M Sport parts.
Just pulled the cover off my 36 after watching this video, I drove it once with the Zero Clerance StanceWorks shocks before parking it. looks like I'll be using these videos as a guide! More 36 videos please!
Mike - First off i wanna give you the biggest round of applause sir because you just cease to amaze - and i'm sure i can speak for all of us in the comments when i say "Us" . I discovered your car at just 15yrs old & I am now 27 (time flies doesn't it). I remember seeing your car on polished AMG Split 5 spoke wheels and I INSTANTLY fell in love at how perfect the car was then. I was young but attention to detail was always my thing. I always looked at the things most people overlook. I say all of this to say, you inspired me to go out an purchase my first e36 (328i 5spd) at just 16 - going into Junior year i was one of the only kids with a manual car let alone a BMW and that spoke volumes to those around me but it was because of you that i then fell in love with this car and here we are pretty much 12 years later and i've had 5 BMW's total - two of them being M3's - One a boston green coupe and the latest was a Dakar II M3/4/5 it was a rare spec i found out in my research before purchasing. Unfortunately, as i said "was" the Dakar sedan was totaled by an opposing driver who didn't know how to merge (deep sigh). I could go on for days about how i'm just totally obsessed with this chassis lol but all in all - your e36 platform - this series - has once again inspired me to get back into an e36 chassis. After my accident i settled for a w205 which is a great car honestly - but just watching and listening to that s54 and hearing your genuine excitement just to whip the car around the block a few times - I caught myself tearing up because I once knew that feeling and for a long time i've lied to myself that i wouldn't get another BMW, but that experience. The excitement, the feel of pure rawness that car delivers is just unmatched (and that's my opinion don't kill me lol). & I MUST experience that Feeling again. I hope you see this comment and if you do - Mike I wanna thank you for the motivation, the inspiration and knowledge that you provide to us all in this broken yet unified community of E36 enthusiasts lol. Please please keep the content coming for as long as you can - Hopefully one day i'll get to meet you in person and give you your flowers the appropriate way. & i know i don't have to say it lol but - The car will be perfect once complete. I'm excited to see it all buttoned up. Keep Motivating and Inspiring Brother 🙏🏽
@@stanceworks I know most people aren't gonna read it but ehh idc lol as long as you might - just shows how deeply invested in this chassis, i am. & i had to give proper thanks to You for that man.
I started watching your channel when you were working on the Ferrari, but when I seen the e36 I got more excited then watching the Ferrari content! I also own a e36 and bought a rusty m3 and parted it out and kept all the drivetrain. Love the e36 content please keep it up! Yours is awesome

Hi Mike, congrats on getting the build to this point! One tip: coat those brake caliper pins with some anti-seize. My ISF came stock with the same Brembo calipers, and all pins were stuck solid when I bought mine. It's almost impossible to press them out without damaging the paint, don't ask me how I know :(
I remember downloading a picture of this when it was on AMG 3 piece wheels, that was many years ago and long before I ever owned one, I'm now on my 4th e36 and still own 2 with my saloon undergoing a 4.4 v8 swap.
I'm not a BMW 3 series guy (like me a 2002 though) but will comment and like on this video anyway because I really appreciate your channel and support your excitement. Keep up the good work
I love how this car unintentionally became a brilliant investment! This is worth stupid money now--especially with your provenance. Looks stunning. Thrilled to see it back on the road.
No, this car is not worth stupid money. All original cars always bring more money from collectors. A modified car is never, ever, worth more. An original E36 M3 is more valuable.
This car along with Seandub’s and Bastien’s cars is what solidified my love of e36s, way back in the early days of the Stanceworks forum. It’s great to see it rolling the streets again. Man I miss my coupe.
Congratulations. I've got a small boat that I haven't had in the water for a couple of years, and I'm thinking that the feeling will be similar when I get her back out again. I'm glad you're not just staying with the Ferrari build. Thanks for the videos!
Fantastic to see this on the road !! My personal choice of splitter would be the AC Schnitzer carbon splitter. Yeah, It’s long out of production but well worth searching out. I had one on my old 36, it looked pukka 👌
I started watching the channel for the Ferrari build, but I have to say : you seem to enjoy working on the BMW more, and it's nice to see ! Keep on doing what you like, it's the best content, no matter the car, or no matter the project even
I've got to say, the big builds like the Ferrari and the Model A are inspiring, but watching this build come alive is MOTIVATING. Watching this gets me pumped to go work on my own project that's been in progress for a few years. Thanks for the content and keep doing what you're passionate about!
Ahhhh yesssss! When I saw this pop up I was so hyped, jumped in the car to go straight home and watch this PEARL of a car drive again. You make some clean and cool builds, and I like the: Frick the haters attitude, you build the cars the way you want! and that is mad respect! (Also; if they "hating" on you, you are doing something right)
The car that made me start my E36 journey (I'm on my 3rd one now), that not only started (in my opinion) Stanceworks but the entire stance scene world wide. I can't believe I'm seeing this car back on the road. Mike please put the M3 lip spoiler on the front bumper to complete the M3 look. You inspire people like me. Keep it up.
I'm sorta disappointed he went out with no seatbelts, but I'm really upset he convinced someone else to do that just so he could film. They're both really lucky nobody crashed into them, that's how people get sent to the hospital.
Just so you know, you can remove that window trim pretty easily with a piece of wood and a hammer. Though getting it back on without damaging it can be pretty difficult.
This car was so special to me as a young adult. I'm so stoked that it's coming back together. You influenced me to get an e30. Keep it up. I will never forget the AWOL video on this car
Not sure if you are aware, but BMW made door trim that is the exactly the same as what came on the M3, but without the M3 or ///M badges. Just plain black trim with no badges, but wide. That's the best route to go on a non-M car, IMO. You have an S54 under the hood of this car, so I'll let it slide this time. 😉
Having just gotten rid of my Dakar '95 last year, this part of your channel brings me a particular, nostalgic type of build. Not to mention your warm California beauty shots! I can tell how excited it makes you, and that gets me equally as pumped. Congrats!!
Hey Mike, congratulations on getting your baby back on the road. It made me smile and think back to my own E36. It was the first BMW I bought new back in 1994. It was a sedan with a four pot engine but I still put the full M-kit and M3 wheels on it and it looked amazing. Traded it in for a new E46 in 1999 and I still regret it to this day. Such a beautiful design. Together with the 308, you have two of the most beautiful cars ever made in your garage!
wow this is insane! i just watch your 1st video from 2010 AWOL i got it on my pc and then i decide to search if you finally make a video again about this car and i bump to this WTF! i am so happy! :) youR m3 was the 1st one that i see with s54 swap ! and velocity stacks ... amazing! i was 19 back then ...now 31..crazy how the time goes
Looking really good. The M badge thing doesn't bother me that much, but maybe having some custom Stance Works badges to replace them would be a nice little touch and will save you from the typical comments.
Watching you make great strides with your e36 brought tears to my eyes made me genuinely happy and gave me hope. I can only wish to accomplish the things you have
Dude that smile on your face on your first road test makes it all worth it dude! I’ve been in that position and it’s an amazing feeling! Can’t wait to see it in person!
Was never really into BMWs myself, but your enthusiasm and drive for this build makes me come back to watch more! Keep up the great work on all your projects!
Looking good! That M3 trim really sets it off. I am glad you are keeping in factory black. I have never cared for when painted body color; just love the contrast that I find fitting for the body style. Coming together nicely!
Those rolling shots though, damn. Car looks amazing and its not even done yet! e36 episodes are the highlight of my week. Thanks for taking us along on for the ride.
Quick change pads are definitely a headache reducer. I remember this car from ~15 years ago or so. I definitely like it's current setup. Looks great. Not sacrilegious if it's got an S motor.
Great vid! BMW is great. The Ferarri is incredible. The Ford is just sick! I look forward to all your videos every week. Build a Hyundai Pony. It would be F-ing great! And I would watch! Cheers!
Hell yes, two of the best things BMW made from this era: The e36 and the s54. That exhaust is definitely killer, it's hard to get the s54 sounding "right" imo.
At this point the car is better than any M3, so it's certainly worthy of the ///M badges. Plus it does have a bona fide ///M motor, arguably more so than the S52.
i feel this as i am personally about to tear my e46 330ci down for a bit (daily driver) to pull the AUTO ZF out and throw in a 220 getrag (700 for a whole 325i YES ALL DAY) while i do rear subframe bushings, inforcing, bushings all around really plus a few other small things like CCV delete or new CCV unsure, and muffler delete. Lets not forget a new cooling overhual as its 128000 miles now, owned since 119k and only did plugs, coils (not needed) filter, control arms and disa gasket. got the car for nothing, but shell be tip top in due time. hoping its not down 10 years tho....hoping for two weeks tops...
It's fantastic to see this car back on the ground, I've followed the build of this car since the early StanceWorks days. The content is great keep it up man 😊

Looking at the connectors on the fuel pump is the story of my life. Glad it was a simple fix for you.
This was the first S54 swapped E36 that I knew about. I definitely miss seeing this on those AMG wheels! So happy to see you've kept this.
Mike, 3k’s + and you went through the barrier! HOW COOL IS THAT!? I’m so stoked to see this Beemer coming to life… now the Model A and the 308K and the world is yours! Thanks for such an awesome content, keep rocking!
Best thing about the BMW episode's is the fact its control arms are ok 🤣. Seriously, though. It's great to see it running! It looks so cool.

Wow, the new trim really does transform the look, excited to see it with new skirts and lip. Hope you can get the interior back soon too, this is looking killer!
this build looks so clean, definitely the best oem+ E36 i've seen 💥
Nothing better than installing new trim! Very stoked to see this running man. Your face in the intro says it all ❤
Not sure what’s more beautiful the car or the videography. Unbelievable.

can't hide the joy in your eyes, man. in the end, that's really why we do this. kudos!
I like your clear and informative voiceover! I know nothing about BMW's, especially the E36, so I learned a bit and had fun watching!
I'm happy to see this video! I'm making a 318is (93) in exactly the same color, here in Brazil, with S54. Thanks for sharing!!
You weren’t lying it definitely is one of the best sounding s54 exhaust, and definitely one of the best looking e36s
E36 looks fantastic, Mike. Don't worry about the M badges, most markets outside the US have M Sport models where the badges are present on certain specifications of BMW with a host of M Sport parts.
If people don’t like this build then they don’t know what stance works is all about. So good to see the original internet legend back driving
Just pulled the cover off my 36 after watching this video, I drove it once with the Zero Clerance StanceWorks shocks before parking it. looks like I'll be using these videos as a guide! More 36 videos please!
I'm extremely stoked for you dude. I know how much this car means for you and it's so great to see it outside and running!
seeing this car together again brings back good memories of the ole SW forum days
Oh hell yeah I’m so excited. Can’t wait to see this Sunday Steel/E36 Day. See you there!

Just so you know, you can remove that window trim pretty easily with a piece of wood and a hammer. Though getting it back on without damaging it can be pretty difficult.
The yellow calipers was absolutely the best color choice!

Finally Finished.

Then things to thinker again.
Then building again 😂

Great vid! BMW is great. The Ferarri is incredible. The Ford is just sick! I look forward to all your videos every week. Build a Hyundai Pony. It would be F-ing great! And I would watch! Cheers!
Hell yes, two of the best things BMW made from this era: The e36 and the s54. That exhaust is definitely killer, it's hard to get the s54 sounding "right" imo.
YEAH BUDDY! Super dope, Mike! Long live the E36!
At this point the car is better than any M3, so it's certainly worthy of the ///M badges. Plus it does have a bona fide ///M motor, arguably more so than the S52.
happy to watch all your wrenching
Quality production, good chassis's, half decent taste 🤣
Love the look of the E36 👍🏻🇺🇸🇩🇰🏁🤘🏻
It’s one of my favorite looking cars, period.
Always been an inspiration since the bf.c days
Just drooping by to say I really enjoy this channel. Keep it up!
i feel this as i am personally about to tear my e46 330ci down for a bit (daily driver) to pull the AUTO ZF out and throw in a 220 getrag (700 for a whole 325i YES ALL DAY) while i do
rear subframe bushings, inforcing, bushings all around really plus a few other small things like CCV delete or new CCV unsure, and muffler delete. Lets not forget a new cooling overhual as its
128000 miles now, owned since 119k and only did plugs, coils (not needed) filter, control arms and disa gasket. got the car for nothing, but shell be tip top in due time. hoping its not down 10 years tho....hoping for two weeks tops...
Super cool restomod project man. Had a 325E as a kid and loved it. Totally get projects that HAVE to get done. Awesome work man
It's fantastic to see this car back on the ground, I've followed the build of this car since the early StanceWorks days. The content is great keep it up man 😊
Been following this build since the beginning, love seeing it on the road again. Sounds soooo good! 😍
