Originally a channel to feature DJ mixes for TrinJam International, but also included a host of my other interests. In reality it featured a lot of DIY for home, cars, gadgets, speaker building, electronics, stereo installations, self help, travel videos, family videos and other interests too many to list.

My first M3 was an E36... off the showroom floor in 1988 Würzburg Germany.... drunk guy hit us at a red light...totalled it with just 1205 kms on it...😢
Original metal fenders from Turner and aftermarket metal quarters from e30 Garage, got them from a n fb marketplace seller, original m3 front rear bumpers from an m3 recycler in NJ, skirts from an m3 replica builder in NY (fb mkt), c pillar from Netherlands, trunk from fb mkt
So you’re saying you used a coat hanger and finagled up under the hood from the corner of the headlight? I don’t remember seeing any loose cables under the hood that could belong to the hood release however..just perplexed how I’m going to blindly find it by swiping a coat hanger 🤔
The sink was sourced separately and is not a Saniflo product. I believe I found it on ebay. The toilet is available on the Saniflo site or Lowes/Home Depot stores.
After doing this I decided that I would update my cables and added a homemade emergency pull cable attached to the lock itself so now all I have to do is pop the grill off and pull the cable I made and BAM! it opens.

Definitely so by today’s price standards…building a coupe right now in all metal and original bumpers as well and things are even more scarce and sky high
I would suggest using a thinner rod, I bought the one size down from 3/16 which I believe was 1/8. Thicker rods will have trouble dipping into the latch box. There should also be a slight bend near the end to help get into the latch area. Only took me a few minutes. I then unscrewed the latch assembly from the frame by taking out the 2 torx bolts and was able to bring it above the latch box to work on. For mine, the black cable housing had slipped off the latch although the ball end of the cable was correctly attached. The black cable housing had a notch to hold it onto the latch, but it looked like it could easily slip off the notch again so I zip tied it to the latch. Sprayed it with WD40, tested it and reinstalled and works fine now.
Hi, great video! If i connect the sink to the sanicompact, how much water is needed from the sink to activate the pump/macerator? (I only ask as i would like to connect my condensing boiler to the sink pipe (on the way to the macerator) and it would dribble a very small amount of water when on.
Not sure but I can run the sink indefinitely and the toilet autoflushes when a certain amount of water is let in. I wouldn’t worry about the connection you’re referring to, should be fine
That's completely all wrong... Remove drivers side corner light...reach up and you will feel the cable...push down on the hood at the same time pull the cord lightly...I've done it multiple times
That works for the driver side latch, not the passenger side if it’s also stuck. I think the video clearly illustrates that. Glad yours worked out, this is a reference for multiple scenarios that may not reflect your situation.
looks great. I got a 2004 c4s (also came from BMW haha)... but I want to put this wing on my cab as well. Does it work if you have the soft top going up and down? or only when you have the hard top on?
You saved our life today! This worked. Take the bezel off from around drivers side headlight. Then stick said wire thing in the space. If you put a phone on windshield pointing down, it helps light it up. Then yank on that sucker! Thank you so much for the video!
I had to drill/cut some plastic away near where you were counting down the ribs....finally got it open. Serviced the car...and the latch stuck again! I put a ton of WD40 and lithium grease on it.... maybe it'll jostle loose again? If not..
Check where the cable meets the latch, it may be slipping out. You may have to use a zip tie to secure it in place so it doesn’t slip out of the housing. I did that for mine.
Thank You So Very Much. I guess I'm not the only one with a stuck hood on my '08 X5 and a BMW mechanic telling me I have to leave the car with him and he'll let me know when he can get to it.
Hi Jorge, the actual hood release is probably stuck because the cable rusts after time so squeezing doesn’t make the last latch move back enough to escape the clasp, facing the car, stand on the right side near the fender with a 12-14 inch screwdriver 🪛, lift the fender so you can see that lever and slide the screwdriver against it and leverage towards the firewall/windshield direction while holding the he hood up until it slips free, you then need to replace the hood release cable, clasp and wire.
Always gets clogged, and from time to time I have a really bad septic smell. Not sure if it's coming from the sink that's hooked up to the toilet or the tiny cheater vent that's built into the toilet. So my kids use it as an emergency toilet. I just see it as a huge waste of money.
Might be your installation. For my experience I have had mine since the date of this video and I have not experienced any of the above. I'm not a plumber or diy'er in this area so it's worth mentioning I had a plumber do my install.
@@trinjaminternational I also had a licensed plumber come out for the installation since our codes require one with the license to do the work. But for me this toilet has been a huge headache. So I'll probably end up getting rid of the toilet in the near future. Mostly for how loud it is, and the clogging. And if you use the sink to wash your hands for example. The toilet will have to flush at least two times.
Thanks a lot. It works for me too....BMW dealership at @#$&+ they told me that the latches were bad and charging me almost 900 for replacement. I ordered the parts and found out that they, at the dealership, Left the cable for the right latch disconnected. Waooooo..
It's a terrible design and then they charge you for it, a really poor way to treat customers imo. Also the cables slip out sometimes, so a tie strap to secure it is extra peace of mind. Glad it worked for you.
