Brilliant, thank you for the advice, always dubious about lifting the car other than on jacking points. I feel more confident now 👍

@MTechGuy 2 года назад

Awesome, we’ve all been there before 👍

@bastv2417 4 года назад

This is strangely satisfying to watch, especially when you lowered the car onto the axle stands haha!

@MTechGuy 4 года назад

Haha, glad you enjoyed it!

Perfect 👌 be careful of the cracks in between the cobblestone 🤠

@MTechGuy 2 года назад

They’re not real cobblestone, it’s printed concrete!

It's all about the 330Ci Coupe! Mine's Mystic Blue and have had it for a few years now. Absolutely fantastic car. Even took it to the Nurburgring a couple of years ago and the only fault I had was the rear ABS/speed sensor, which I put down to crap from Brunchen corner carpark after it pissed it down something rotten.

@MTechGuy 3 года назад

They are great cars for sure, I daily drove this one for 9 years. The Nurburgring must have been a great experience in the 330ci

@imminicheddars 3 года назад

@@MTechGuy Yeah it was brilliant. I have my lap videos on my channel somewhere, and it was my first time there. I didn’t go mad as I knew my limitations and I needed the car to stay in one piece! Hugely recommended for any petrol head. I went Thurs - Sun and met some E46 guys at the hotel who were ‘ring regulars so they ended up being my tour guide!

@bigash_n54 3 года назад

totally agree, i have had a e90 for a few years and just got a e46 325 as a project car, absolutely love it more than my e90, going for a 330 engine swap next year but got a long list of maintenance first 😄.

I'd recommend some jack pads, save your plastic jack point housing.

class video, but what does that front chassis brace look like just so i can picture it a bit better, scared of going through the car with a jack haha

@MTechGuy 3 года назад

Box section running longitudinal, the plastic overlaps it slightly on the inner edge

@Rekt-M8-v4 3 года назад

Hi I have a e36 and I have that u brace near the differential too just like the one you used to jack up the rear. (I believe that’s the subframe right?) but can I use that u brace to jack up my e36 as well?

@MTechGuy 3 года назад

Yes, same. Make sure to use a piece of wood or something to avoid damaging it

@jjjjjjjjjjj99999 3 года назад

what percent tint do you have? looks perfect

@MTechGuy 3 года назад

0% tint! It’s as it left the factory

@jjjjjjjjjjj99999 3 года назад

@@MTechGuy damn, must be the lighting and camera. Or the previous owner. By factory they don't have tint (so I'm told). Check if on the inside there is a film or a separate layer near the top of the window.

@MTechGuy 3 года назад

It’s factory, they come with a slight green tint. There is no addition tint added to this car

@jjjjjjjjjjj99999 3 года назад

@@MTechGuy ok you're definitely right since my car has the same and I had to remove it. Guy at the tint shop kept telling me that wasnt factory, trying to charge double to remove it. So I removed it myself.

@2Skills4u Год назад

Are there any other spots to put the stands on though but? What gives me the fear on these cars is you can't see the actual metal you're putting the stands under, in the UK for all you know it could be rusted out lol

@MTechGuy Год назад

They are the strongest spots. If you’re worried about rust, get a garage to inspect the car first on a hoist, to confirm if it’s safe

@darkoz1692 2 года назад

Why not use the front and rear jacking points, no need for two jacks.

@MTechGuy 2 года назад

No.1 Car was too low to get the jack under the front of the car. No.2 If you jack at the front centre point it crushes the aluminium stiffener plate

@arnolduk123 2 года назад

Big safety fail in this video is using jacks and axels stands on unlevel and cobbled surface. Everything else seems good advice but I wouldn't risk working underneath that car, could easily knock one of those stands moving around. Read safety points on how NOT to use axel stands, this video ignores several of them.

@MTechGuy 2 года назад

The driveway isn’t cobble stones, it’s “printed” concrete. If it wasn’t safe I wouldn’t choose to get underneath the car myself

@arnolduk123 2 года назад

@@MTechGuy Still not a safe surface to support a 1.5 tonne car on 4 axel stands. At 1:27 I can see a 1 inch deep gap inbetween each brick. Manufacturers state in safety instructions not to use 4 stands to support the full load of a vehicle. I just read the safety instructions so that's fine if you feel safe under that setup. Besides, you are using Halfords cheapo range of axel stands.

@MTechGuy 2 года назад

@@arnolduk123 Thanks for the input, I’ve had these “cheapo” stands in service for approx. 20 years using this practice 🙃

@arnolduk123 2 года назад

@@MTechGuy LOL..I'm not saying they are useless, just saying if you're going to support the car fully off ground with stands, I'd go for much stronger expensive stands. And those cobbles look scary with axel stands balanced on them.
