Getting Ready to Flip my $500 BMW E46 330i - Engine Mounts & Control Arm Bushings 

kind of surprised by how many BMW people don't know about FCP! It's the only way I would own a European vehicle, honestly!

I am a huge fan of FCP Euro. Great selection of parts at very good prices plus of course the DYI videos and lifetime warranty.

I'm glad you commented on the glass cleaner on the bushings I would have grabbed a can of WD.

I want to write a comment to tell you that it’s an amazing vidéo, very clear, well made Thank you very much

I watched the whole series within 2 days. Obviously, the first couple of videos where ok'ish, but you improved more and more. I especially enjoyed the explanation of the different parts you replaced, which makes you unique. I own 2 BMW 330ix Touring, a 5 speed auto and a 6 speed manual, and in my opinion, the E46 is almost the perfect car. Looks very good, inside and outside, drives very well, is safe (4 star Euro ncap rating) and it's modern enough to drive it daily, yet the car doesn't have does annoying driving assistance crap which robes you from driving pleasure. You Sir show us, how to keep our Baby's safe and sound on the road by doing some work on our own. For that, you definitely have earned my subscription. We'll done and keep up the cool videos. Regards from Switzerland

Dude your vids are amazing! The fact u share the prices and stuff its great! U explain everything very clearly. Already one of my favo car youtubers 😁 keep it up bro!

These are the jobs you want to do. So much better feeling car after these.

using the car thats on jack stands as leverage with your feet to pry those bushings off scared me 😂having access to a lift would be amazing

Great video! After your explanation I understand why I had that weird wheel movement when I was breaking. Thank you, keep up!

Very enjoyable to watch! Always love the results and the difference when test driving it after I'm done 😄

Shoutout to FCP Euro. Nothing but good experiences with them. I replaced the old/worn engine mounts, trans mounts, and driveshaft coupler in my E36. The difference is night and day.

Another great video from DIY. Who buys that ride is going to have extremely good transportation to say the least.

Good progress on this one! I still like the E46 for how it handles, with bad CABs that is most probably a lot less? Must be so good to feel that it's back!

Great informative E46 video. Definitely rewarding replacing those lollipop bushings. When I did the engine mounts I raised the engine looking back the way you used is the correct method and way less aggravating also! This is going to make someone a great daily driver ! Definitely appreciate the great content! Looking forward to more . That rear differential bushing is a slight pain , i didn’t do the front 2 small differential bushings I’m curious if those are a pain also ?

U should get into detailing some as well like polishing the headlights it increases value of a car by a significant amount

Great work again! The way you explain shows you really do not need a lift after all. I would love to buy that car but considering the distance to Sweden its not really the best of ideas. We need a pretty long bridge to start with.

Hulk off the control arm bushing! No dish soap? Dang! lol. Nice job. Everything came off pretty easily otherwise. Nice to car ride with your cute puppy girl for tacos.

Loving every vid! Don’t stop!

Enjoying this flip. Would love to find a cheap one like that to flip. That engine brace is choice. But if you’re really on a budget, a floor jack and plank of wood under the oil pan works well. Mine were both split in 2 on my 330ci - had zero issues other than at autocross I lost ac cuz it pulled the harness out of compressor. Found when I was doing my catless headers.

Brothaa FCP all the way!! They have a dope floor display if you ever hit the East coast/CT definitely check it out. I did my 10 piece front suspension but skipped right over the mounts, I’m shot for that 😂😭 Good stuff though my man, definitely made way quicker work then me hahaha. Hope those tacos hit!!

Celebratory Tacos! Nice job Alec!

Would love to purchase it

That is unless you live in the salt belt and the pinch weld has evaporated.

Another great video

Is supporting the engine with the frame then dropping the subframe preferable to lifting the engine with the support mount without having to drop the subframe?

15:17 dish soup works to lmao

hey great videos! enjoying it a lot, and i was just wondering what kind of handheld flashlight do you use ?

Alec, the steering angle sensor is on the bottom of the steering shaft in the car. Are you sure you weren't talking about the headlight vertical aim control sensor when you said it needed disconnected on the drinkers side of the car?

hoping you can help me out, i have a 2001 325ci e46 and im dealing w a no crank no start brand new battery already tested the started and it’s good and also replaced the ignition switch also switch f105 and nothing

Link the hood lock!

Have u serviced the transmission that will be a help

Did not realize you were in NorCal. Whereabouts?

🎥🔥

gm, do you have a favorite model out of the e46 and e36 generations? Would be for a drift/track build.

Why sell the car when you did all that work to it you should enjoy it.

Men you need a car lift 😉
