Replacing The Hood Insulation On The E36 M3 

Matt, not wanting to be an a-hole but ,the camera auto focus is driving me nuts!

Man, you gotta be a real nerd to actually watch this video. I'm glad I'm not alone.

Hey! The reason the hoodpad looks pretty good is because I Dryce cleaned it!

You didn't do a full paint correction underneath the under-hood insulation? Slacker.

The word of the day is "Janky."

Camera work on this one is quite strong. Especially that focus.

I understand the OCD but damn the liner your replaces looks more then fine 😂😂

Cant belive you didnt clean under it before installing the new one. I thought for sure you would have! HA

Convert the engine to euro spec E36 M3.

Who else was screaming at Matt to look at the camera screen?! Haha!

I feel like were back to a GH5 with that focus pull. Back to Canon F Sony.

took it off and threw it into a dumpster years ago, it doesn't do anything besides make you hear your sweet intake noise less

That old hood liner looks better than my '02 E46 headliner. I'm trying to crutch re-glue it ... yeah, I know.

This has to be the only hood liner replacement on YT. Dad seems awesome. Hi Dad!

Focus, camera! FOCUS!!!

I need help I have an e36. I screwed myself messing with a bad mechanic🤦🏾‍♂️

Glad you recorded this. Mine is pretty gunked up with oil and dirt and I'm contemplating replacing it. Or at least taking it off and cleaning it. But maybe I should just take it to the car wash for a power wash. (98 cosmos black sedan)

With time they get Dirty and 'Janky' looking. People are compelled to hose em' down. Only so many times of turning them into a wet sock and it ends up sagging and looking like crap.

I spy a set of ltw’s! Are you going to get a set of Bosch or Zkw eurospec headlights?

LoL I'm going through the evaluation and (possible) purchase process on this for my E32 and the part and the shipping are both about 200 bucks. Nope. It sags in the middle and I'm going to see about doing a fiberglass and epoxy backing on the center section to hold it up firmer and away from the nice engine cover. One suggestion here Matt-Please show the fittings/screws or rivets or whatever they are, close up, so we can see just exactly what we're dealing with ;) Love your videos and the details you cover. It is absolutely amazing to me how this is a video that's never been done before! Having thought about this all again..I'm not sure I won't just spend the 425$ on a nice fresh new clean one from ECS..For the E32 it will really complete the engine bay.

On the availability of parts, I believe bmw waits until theres a certain number of orders (a few hundred I believe) and then makes the part again. Thats why some parts stay on backorder forever.

Is there a cover for e36 which prevents dust accumulation in engine bay? A lot of dust is coming inside and new insulation will be ruined very fast.

Sony cameras for the win... Love the channel Matt

I don't know why the autofocus was struggling so badly and hunting continuously... There is plenty of contrast in the shot for the autofocus to grab onto...

Could be like harley parts, as the models get older they start making only the parts that still sell. The rest goes out of production.

Couldn’t watch all of this. That focusing drove me nuts. Def a no next time hahaha

I thought I was the only one replacing the hood insulation when it starts to get slightly worn. It’s about a $225 part at wholesale. Most people just take them off and don’t replace.

Are you also gonna make a video on the headliner? Greetings from Belgium

my e36 didn’t come with hood insulation. is it a needed thing?

Man I can't watch this without Ad each 2 min as I skip along.

HOW CAN YOY MAKE A 17 MINUTE VIDEO ABOUT THIS

what screws are used to put this in place please

thats a really pretty purple.

Matt, use the manual focus

Ok Matt I challenge you to meet me on level 5 by buying new seat belt latch assemblies front & rear for $800 just because red button is slightly faded ;) we’ll start w/ that and then I’ll hit you up w/ other crazy ocd bs.

And here I thought I was doing a good job refurbishing my E36 M3 over the past year, but clearly I still have a lot of work to do with Matt setting the benchmark.

First video of OG i had to stop halfway through because it's burning my god dam eyes

Could be like harley parts, as the models get older they start making only the parts that still sell. The rest goes out of production.

That insulation was my first weight reduction on my E36’s. 😂

As much as I wanted to like that underwood light the milwaukee makes more sense

I've never seen hood blanket change out. Cool. Looks great.

Brake discs don’t warp 👌🏻

The "purple punch" is looking nice Matt!

Camera had a mind of its own
