This couldn't have a better timing! Two weeks ago I found the dyno video of the 308. 122 episodes later, I watched it again after watching the entire playlist. I'm looking forward to seeing today's video as well, but I wanted to take the time to thank you for the craziest, most entertaining, car content on youtube. Cheers.

@stanceworks Год назад

Thanks for coming along for the ride!

@poormrk4kid Год назад

“Preventing perfection from becoming the enemy of good enough.” Thank you for your words and for sharing Cory’s story.

@BrainsofFrank Год назад

For a tribute build to your friend this is worthwhile just sending it. Stay strong Mike

@btober15 Год назад

this e30 build will really bring in a special crowd. yes your other builds are amazing and will keep me coming back 10/10 times but there is something that almost everyone can relate to on this build. thank you and look forward to more on this

@Whacintosh Год назад

I’ve never really been a BMW guy but this is such a beautiful car with “minimal” work. I would drive this every day lol.

@GNARBOSS Год назад

This is a really nice contrast to the ferrari build! The Ferrari build is infinitely inspiring, but this build has a nice level of tangibility where the average person can see this and go "Oh I can actually get that done on my driveway!" and end up with an awesome car. Your content is great as always!

@nicolelongneckergallery Год назад

So cool you are doing this in remembrance of your friend. I lost my racing buddy a few years back, it's tough. But its been said, life is but a gift on loan. It's up to us to live it to the fullest while you have it.

@Sven_R. Год назад

The car is perfect as is- love the attitude you got with this special car, equally good as the perfectionism of the other builds

@aarondennis4561 Год назад

As a fellow perfectionist I understand how hard it is to just say “eh, good enough”. I’m certain your friend would be honored that you are fighting the urge to make it perfect because it’s what he would do. Cool build Mike!

@Mavo1989 Год назад

I love when you installed the headlight - you got the plug stuck now need to pull it off again @4:32 - oh how fun cars are

@mattspangler170 Год назад

Mike, this build is so meaningful and just pure. You’re right, there is something different about perfectly imperfect.

@mauricio4767 Год назад

E30 fever never goes away

@BillRyan Год назад

I had a brown E30 back in the day and I loved that car so much. I love seeing you bring this to life and what a great way to honor your friend Cory. Great job!!!

@wow35master Год назад

this is your work jokes and sarcasm! welcome back .. is this videos we love with personality !

@TheRealTomLauda Год назад

i love the 308 build, it is really inspiring. But this one... this one i can relate to ! This build really gives me the push to do one of my own, something i know i can do, skills or money wise. Best automotive channel, period.

@thelifeofguyon Год назад

8:00 - I got in big trouble the other week impacting my steering shaft nut like this on my '72 F-250. Turns out those only want something like 40 ft lbs of torque! Great episode, Mike.

@stanceworks Год назад

Dude it’s fine

@mariosnikolaou5212 Год назад

The car looks absolutly perfect.

@humanbraininrobotbod Год назад

I love the simplicity. Sometimes I get vanilla ice cream and it's fine - I don't need to get chocolate fudge chuck mocha with artisan chocolate syrup and chocolate sprinkles every time. My neighbor has an E30 rotting in his shed, I keep bugging him about buying it but he just can't get off of the idea that it's worth everything he's ever spent on it (like 10 years ago.)

@axeledwards4162 Год назад

By far my favorite youtube channel, thank you for sharing Corey's story and bringing us another phenomenal in-depth build.

@samkunugi5319 Год назад

A clean E30 just looks so good

@Boz196 Год назад

Just bought my first bmw 2 weeks ago. I got an e39 535i with 140,000km on it in the beautiful oriental blue colour. I’m hoping to buy an e30 as well in the near future because I’m absolutely in love with pre 2000’s bmws.

@kdevitt Год назад

Great update - I had one of the earliest build E30's - was a Jan 83 one - and the smilies were one of the first things I changed. They're a very sensible upgrade.

@violinmiata Год назад

This tribute build is what making a car is about. There will always be something faster and flashier. This is to drive and have fun, that’s what it should be. Driving and having fun

@williamaguiar14 Год назад

Love the simple videos like this

@andrevidal5762 Год назад

it is beyond me how this channel doesn't have more views and followers!!!

@MayurPatelZA Год назад

5 min in and I know that my attitude to cars lines up 100% with your friends. A few other similarities make me sentimental here. I had a little brother who is late now and this is a car he would drive.

@Darkeiser.7 Год назад

Not sure if anyone has said it yet, but. You're a great story teller. 👏

@stanceworks Год назад

Thanks a ton!

@stuartstephens Год назад

As the owner of a white e30 that's daily driven, I approve. 🙂 The euro-sized version of these cars was such a clean, crisp design.

@willrummell3670 Год назад

Wow, seeing how simple and clean that Deutsche Connector install was sent me down an entire rabbit hole of those. Would love to see more clean electronic installs like this!

@Billyspacerocket Год назад

❤️ E30 content & everything you do = Thanks !!!

@847tjames Год назад

I'm from the uk and i had 2 e30s about 15 years ago and i miss them so much! These cars have so much soul and there something so unique about driving them

@johnnysisomphone6416 Год назад

So cool seeing you all on RU-vid!

@thecoreelementsmoto Год назад

I really admire your approach to building. Keep it up!

@13THPR0PH37 Год назад

We need that "dudeitsfine" key chain! 😂😂😂 Beautiful build. Love em!

@jdwxly Год назад

Loving the E30 content! This car is on my wish list to build someday.

@tollefreyerson6710 Год назад

Great video!!

@irancartaxo8353 Год назад

Nice project. The car is becaming beautifull and I personaly love this aproach logic of "the best cannot prevent the good and usable" cause I use my dream car even to go buy bread.

@ThomasCWiley Год назад

I used to have a 87 325e coupe as well, and I love this series so much.

@GTIRacer2002 Год назад

That Dude its fine keychain is so fitting.

@DannysGarage Год назад

I dig this quicker build series, it's a nice change from the massive builds I normally see from you. Feels more down to earth because anybody here could go out and buy an E30 and slap some cool parts on it.

@mariospantouvanos4645 Год назад

Love the steering wheel! I have the similar one with a red center pad and a Benetton formula 1 horn button on my M42 swapped 85 318i. Now I'm contemplating removing the center pad

@peterwhitehead2453 Год назад

Yup, patina! Love it. I have the same approach with my E36 project. It should look and drive great - that’s authentic!

@ahriley91 Год назад

Looking forward to seeing this in June. If you need a place to wrench in Tacoma, my garage is open.

@azpaquin Год назад

I love the vibe and spirit behind this build. Cory would approve!

@Kr8zyVids Год назад

Looks great sir!! Pretty perfect for a daily in SoCal. Nothing worse than having it 100% perfect and get a ding or smudge and be upset about it. This thing is living it’s best life!! Keep up the great work

@ruialbertosoares72 Год назад

Awesome! We've got 2 E30 in my family, 87 325i and 90 316i both 2door. Always changing something, now we're swaping the 316 to 30i ....

@badledgend1172 Год назад

Wow, you weren't kidding about the difference. What a change to the front with just those couple little changes! Such a glow up, I can't wait to see this finished so you can enjoy it more! Cheers bud - Kavida

The E30 platform will go down in history as the best mass produced cars ever made.

@1TX0UTLAW Год назад

Love it!

@wojciechstomski3760 Год назад

Love this mini series on the e30 and I loved all videos, the Ferrari and the e36. The e30 and e36 are my dream cars and I love how both are turning out. Keep up the good work! 👍🏼

@jpait Год назад

We are of the same mind! I replaced my diving boards and plugged the shock mount holes in the back. I used a grinder to cut off that mounting bracket on the rear side fenders. I also plugged all the small trim holes behind the bumper. Wish I could show you some pictures. I just hated those holes back there!

@alansmith7121 Год назад

Thank you for the content sir!

@WildDigger Год назад

Looks great! I have always liked the look of the e30.

@timmason5230 Год назад

@romchompa6858 Год назад

Looks Good!

@shaefferryan Год назад

Love it man!

@autopassion27 Год назад

This E30 looks great with the euro conversion and new mods! 😉

@Big.O. Год назад

I’m 50 but when I was 16 I worked my ass off and purchased my first car, a manual 318i because the 325i insurance was to expensive. Loved that car but totaled it 10 months later being stupid. Love the series. You’re doing everything I wanted to do to that car.

@abcsteve Год назад

I love it! 🎉

@NathanielSalzman Год назад

Loving this series. I have an '89 325ix sedan in Alpine White.These are special cars, maybe especially when they're a little rough around the edges.

@dudley7540 Год назад

My ex-GF had an 89 325ix and I wish she had kept it. Great car.

@fireblade30000 Год назад

Looking good. Rectangular fog/driving lamps under the front bumper make a helluva difference too if you fancy it.

@Aube Год назад

These needs to be longer! 45min of this is needed...

@benzina5917 Год назад

The day after watching this video I was at a track day at Monza in Italy and parked next to an E30 in the parking lot. I could not help but take in all of the details of the grille and bumpers I learned about in this video :)

@alexalexandre1574 Год назад

Love it! 😍

@seandebottis3276 Год назад

Great video and ideology, being obsessive kills the fun, life is a balance and this car represents that

@koolkid368 Год назад

Hey I've got a very imperfect e30. Had it for 8 years and will never let it go!

@lmcoolk12 Год назад

I just got a magnaflow exhaust for my e30 and the tips fit nicely in the back

@ForestCinema Год назад

YES. YES. I’ve had an e46 ZHP, a V-8 540i, multiple e46 wagons… and now I have an ‘86 ETA. Redid all the suspension and bushings, put it on some Koni Yellows and IEM springs…. There’s nothing like a happy e30. NOTHING. It might be faster, it might have more power… doesn’t matter. The e30 is GOAT.

@lucasgusi Год назад

02:35 outrageous 😱… this is the way!

@ironmonkey1512 Год назад

love the Cory paint match comments

@_vi0_ Год назад

To be very honest this is perfect. A car is more than a project, more than a tool and more than fun. You have to drive and have fun through and through to enjoy it rather than sit around for a long term watching your vision come to life. Working on my motorcycle is the same. I'm held up on some parts that i'm planning to get and change a couple of things but that doesn't stop me from carving mountainpasses and having fun on the street. Loved this episode and loved what you did to the car. Its perfect :)

@RogueViirus12 Год назад

Looking better every episode! Honestly I'd just cut the lower bumper trim tabs off, add some touch up paint to prevent rust, and send it. That whole lower area is rough as is without some serious smoothing so it wouldn't be noticable anyway unless you fix all that texture. Basic white plugs under the rear bumper for the holes and you're good to go.

@stanceworks Год назад

That’s what I’m thinking too 😎

@J_Bwn Год назад

It’s perfect 🤙

@ninogrunon Год назад

For a solution for your lower valence I’d recommend using expanding foam and mold a piece to your liking and make it out of duraflex/fiberglass

@PRESSBURG420 Год назад

Obdivujem vas projekt super👍👍👍👍👀

@whosyourmate8292 Год назад

It looks like an e30 belonging to a young car enthusiast, perfect 👌 Love this project 👍

@teamphashash Год назад

Been waiting for this. ❤ Its beautiful! Regrets for selling my Henna Red early E30.

@DieselMoose Год назад

Deutsche connectors are the bomb! I work on Peterbilt trucks and whenever I have to replace a harness, I always salvage the Deutsche connectors off of the old harness for my own collection.

@lakalister Год назад

That steering wheel looks right at home!

@resveldt1967 Год назад

I love e30 , had four off them. A kidney from a diesel or m3 have a bigger gap, and let more air into the engine bay, for future tuning. Keep up the good work!

@bridges5659 Год назад

Great man! I have a 1990 E30, 316i, stock. I will try to get hold of those type of headlights. Just need to do a minor repair on the rear plastic bumper. If you install a customized set of mudflaps with logos , it will give it a much better look. Thank you for the presentation.

@Bonkerzqtxo Год назад

i rarely like and sub when someone asks me to but this is great man

@gamby16a Год назад

Looks like a tidy, classic, timeless E30. The exterior facelift is absolutely an improvement. A muffler with a 90's oval/rectangle tip would be pretty dope, if they exist anymore.

@Sacalisious Год назад

Love the way your taking this build but part of me wants to see you go all out on it. Maybe, a second one done all up! Huh???

@StanleyKubick1 Год назад

your car, your call!

@GerritTjaardAMarinus Год назад

Coool !

@geoffreyadams6236 Год назад

Great to see you build a car with a good bud in mind! Us mere mortals would call this a "daily driver".

@LoupozE30 Год назад

Love E30s. You should get a tech1 kit for it 🔥

@Mr16bit Год назад

I've seen a few cool e30s in my area lately (brisbane, Australia). Seen a slightly stanced white one, a nice 325is and an absolutely mint silver m3.

@touchedouche8806 11 месяцев назад

I am certainly in love with my ES. Not an i nor an m, but wouldnt change anything.

@joeleonard9965 Год назад

About to undergo some pretty expensive rust repair with my 318is so it will last for many years to come. It will stil be a year or two until it is perfect, but I've still loved every day of ownership since buying it.

@jimbauer9736 Год назад

damn. Cavallino 3 is dope. Always liked it, never knew the name.

@daytch9485 Год назад

I've got an 89' and a 91' and the bumpers are painted body color with black molding. They aren't tucked in for the shark nose look but aren't exactly diving boards of the E21

@pelepele6691 8 месяцев назад

When I was 20, I had an 18-year-old E30 318is coupe with M Technic2. It was my first car of my own and I loved it. The funny thing is that it cost me $800 back then and I sold it for twice as much. At the time I thought it was a good deal, now I'm crying about what an idiot I was 😢

@mynameis63 Год назад

I absolutely love my 86 325 es. Lightly modified engine..header..intake Conti tuner chip....upgraded suspension, steering and brakes. I also love my resto modded 79 Regal...600 crank horsepower 6.1 litre LS..modern tranny and engine management...all the steering, suspension and brake upgrades...etc. That said..I often choose the E30 to drive.
