I BOUGHT A CHEAP BMW 320D FOR £275 

Thanks allen, this bmw will be in a video again soon, still have it. Currently at the paint shop at the back of the line

Thanks bob, we are working on it currently and have sorted the brakes out, so should be landing that video in the coming weeks when we get it fixed up

Many thanks torque steer, yes will be working on it this week after being bogged down in the workshop on other jobs so all being well we can turn it around for sale

I like the bit about triggers broom 😂

Can't be an old diesel 👍👍👍

Thanks

Not long now I have started filming part 2 👌

Many thanks, started the channel few weeks back and its been a fantastic response from people. thanks for the comment and I will be dropping new videos every week so watch out for them

@@carukchannel im just watching your 2nd video. Wish i could buy cars at these prices.

I am too as I do similier 👍👍👍

Thanks chris, all being well it should be put right, just waiting to get it in the workshop and fix her up, part 2 will be coming out in new year no doubt.

@@carukchannel good luck with the channel👍🏻

Thanks

Hope so too, we are stripping it down this week to have a look at the brakes, been meaning to get to it for few weeks now but other vehicles have jumped the line. Will be releasing a part 2 on this video when we get it sorted (all being well) thanks for watching

These rust badly on the arches full stop, regardless of mileage.

E36 are a nite mare for rust such a shame tho

Take your word for it Celt 😁I just cant work out how anyone can make that many meatballs for £1

HEY, i buy those £1 meatballs as well............my dog loves them🤣😆😄

@@curtisj2165 🤣🤣

Put some jalapeños on and you're good

Thanks mark, Glad your enjoying the content, I will keep the videos coming 👍👍

Agree not like all theses exotic cars most of us can't afford 👍👍👍

yes it is, should be getting it finished and filming a part 2 on this one. thanks for watching nik

I am working on the part 2 to this, still hanging around this one to get fixed

Yes I am confident we will 👍

thanks will look into thay 😁

Yep, this got me with my old bmw a few years back, i thought it wasn’t working, but once I put the slider to 3 blue dots, it was ice cold 😁

Hi mek, yes all being well we should be able to get this sorted in the new year, been trying to get it in the workshop but been mad busy. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks Flip it up, Will keep the videos coming

The e46’s actually don’t have a plastic cover in the corners of the scuttle panel, there is a weather seal which seals it to the bonnet instead. I thought it was missing when I first looked under the bonnet of one.

well spotted admiral, Yes to be fair I had just moved it round the back of the unit to get away from the noise of the workshop, time I had set up the camera it may of got a little to temp. Rookie vlog error 😁

@@carukchannel 🤣🤣you been caught 👍👍👍

🤣

It hardly matters what model it is for 275 quid

Some of the later BMW's did suffer with timing chain issues, so your not wrong I guess. This engine is no where near as quick or efficient as the more modern engines but was a decent reliable engine, thanks for watching

The cabriolet was a lovely looking car, very sort after still, thanks for watching Glitch and the comment 👍

So what .. That is going to cost rather more to buy then £275 that this cost .. This was quite a bargain ..

@@kittyhawk9707 Agreed. But that's not what I'm saying lol

e46 is a smashing car, hopefully we can turn ours around. thanks for watching peter and the comment 👍

thanks edgel, thanks for watching and have great Christmas

Mostly money down seats, we used to get a lot of ex police cars, they always had drugs stashed down the back of the seats which was worrying

This diesel engine ran upto 2007 and was very reliable in the BMW's

Thanks

thanks steve glad to join that esteemed list

I love all them wish I had the confidence like you guys 😉

Good reason for that, its at my paint shop. 😁I will sort a update on it in the next few weeks, very first video I did

This is what's happened to this one mark, all being well we should turn it around and it can go again and give a new owner some reliable motoring. Thanks for watching 👍

@@carukchannel I new that would be the problem bud 👍

Funny you should mention this, video coming up in a few weeks time on this

Just finishing it off been round the back for a while but we are filming a part 2 for it

How you getting on with part 2?

@@CandyRaveParty Slowly brakes are done, trying to get it filmed next week but other things keep coming ahead. Will get this sorted one day soon

Not a great setup, its also common on Merc's. its much easier to just run a rear calliper with a internal ratchet handbrake on the caliper, little bit over kill bmw handbrakes

Leave car in gear. I’ve been doing that for years.

Yes realised after its not meant to have one, so used to seeing everything covered up on modern BMW's. Thanks for watching Roy 👍

@@carukchannel I love these e46s, I have a petrol one that looks the same as this. They rust for fun though 😟

thanks for watching

Its due to make a appearance soon trev

@@carukchannel Looking forward to seeing your next videos Lee. I love this channel. I just find the older cars much more interesting than the newer stuff.

It would to be fair, the trader I bought it from dropped off the service history for it after filming and its FSH, so really want to get this sorted in the new year, will be doing a part 2 on this one

@@carukchannel yep with the FSH worth a few £ , look forward to watching part 2 👍

Yes it shows it age to the rear, They drive very well for a 25 year old design it has to be said, many thanks for the comment and watching

I thought the back end was falling off, 🤣

Agree, part 2 will land soon once we get it through the workshop, thanks for watching 👍👍

In my opinion yes others will disagree am sure, thanks for watching

We have had a development on the service history side on this car, all will be revealed when we release part 2

@@carukchannel don’t underestimate the dES! They don’t have the font fogs or climate (manual air on was standard!) - or controls on that M Sport steering wheel. The ES also has the M Sport suspension (slightly lowered) vs the SE. Finally, that 2.0 diesel is strong (mine did 50mpg even if I drove it like I stole it and had 150BHP). Being post facelift there’s no swirl-flap ingestion concern. Oh, those 16” standard ES alloys are also better than lager alloys (my first had upgraded 17” alloys from the dealer) … E46’s on 17” and above alloys tend to “tramline”. For people like me in the know at the time these really are superb. You buy a BMW if you enjoy driving, right? Stuff the climate, that firmer and lower suspension off the top model is great through bends. If I had the money I’d be trying to buy this off you and whack my UK03BMW plates on her. Oh, finally, 2003 launch cars came with 3yrs free servicing from new. This had increased to 5yrs when I bought my 05 plate second ES - so worth checking those early years!!

You buy on condition with a car like this, not service history so much.

We are willing to strip it down first and see what it needs, to fair since filming this video its been laid up waiting to be sorted. I am going to get on it next week and look to get a part 2 our before Xmas. hopefully it can be turned around. Thanks for watching and comment

Its at my workshop, waiting to get the brakes sorted and get a fresh mot, will be doing a part 2 on it in the new year when complete

Hi kieren, I have not been able to get it in the workshop since filming to fix up, other vehicles have jumped the line but its going in to be fixed this week, all being well I might be able to turn it around before xmas. I will let you know when I look to put it up for sale as not sure how far we will go with it yet and we need to do a part 2.

Prices the other day in the auction it would not surprise me 😁

No, we both work in the motor trade and sell vehicles if that counts, Check out my other auction content, also cover workshop content so we do have some differences 😁 Thanks for watching by the way David 👍

Looks like it, need get it back in workshop and sorted soon, been left since the video for other vehicles which is a shame

@@carukchannel loving your videos you doing realy well and channel is growing amazing unlike mine but keep them videos going I've binge all you're s👍👍👍

Great video this is what exactly happened to our e46, we also cut the plate to avoid changing the bearing. some great garage content on your channel and a new sub from us. I hope you don't mind but I have commented directly on your video and added a link to this video.

Very cheap car, and determined to turn it around into profit in part 2 all being well. thanks for watching Garry 👍

i know i was expecting full tank, set of mats and sevice plan 😁

still waiting back on my bid for London bridge bobby

never made a part 2 but I will do, it was laid up for over a year at the body shop and when it retunes in the next few weeks I will do a special episode on it 👍

Ah thanks for the reply...i look forward to it..ploughing through the vids today..really good content pal...👍

No, they are halogen, no Washers fitted to be xenon my mistake well spotted, rookie vlog error 👍

cheshire paul

@@carukchannel a little far but I am interested

Some of the cars I mot everyday, the state of them I ask that very question phil.

Hi dan thanks for watching, I have been buying and selling vehicles for 17 years and have sold literally thousands of cheap used cars, I decided to film my purchases and expand the content from there, of course I am aware other channels in the motor trade film there work and I also enjoy there content and sub so naturally learn from them on how to present clear content and then try to put my mark on it. The difference I want to bring is being more workshop hands on, and more in-depth about buying and selling process, attending the auctions and dealers.

Sounds great subbed and loving it 👍👍👍

Hi max, part 2 on this will be landing in the new year, I did not manage to get it into the workshop due to the garage being so busy, I run a garage also bud and its just manic currently thanks to the covid mot extensions changing the whole mot dates meaning other things had to take priority so the bmw fell to the back of the line. It will be fixed and covered 👍👍

oo such profound wisdom .

It is cheap hopefully we can get it sorted, should have a part 2 on this one soon

Fair enough

Bit harsh 😬

it was coming from the back veritas but your spot on that the do suffer with front suspension arm bush failure, i will be stripping it down in the new year and doing a part 2 on it. thanks for watching

@@carukchannel Rear control arm bushes?

@@veritasaequitas9875 agree to as they are common on them especially if people are putting lots of weight in the back as it a touring 👍👍👍

full tank, set of mats 😁

@@carukchannel tidy that bro, fair shout 😁
