Looks amazing, I don't think I would be able to sell a car after so much has been done. What a progress from zero to hero

[chrisking]

Just wanted to take a sec to say thanks for putting this series together! That is one clean sedan you've brought back from the dead. Coming from the NE, that car is worth 6k all day long. I vote to scoop up a wagon next. Manual swap would make for some great videos! Cheers man

I never thought about a BMW till your shows you make it so impressive and I think your an amazing mechanic able to realize your faults to recovery correctly!!!

[anthonygillesse]

I really like your videos, most BMW Youtubers just talk about the repairs and gloss over the issues. You go through thorough explanations of the repair that help greatly thanks. Owner of a 2007 e61 🇨🇦

Alec!! That’s amazing !! Thank you for getting one back out on the road and not to the junk yard. Wish I had the room for this car as it would have been coming to get the car. Big thumbs up !!

This is a really meticulous rebirth of this car. Engine . Trans. It's all buttoned tight and ready for flight! Congrats on a a spectacular job. It was such fun to watch and I learned so much. loved all the small tips you gave out. They are invaluable little nuggets of knowledge!

Nice to see companies hopping on board with the channel

WOW! This thing just looks great for its age! More you do the more I think maybe I’ll sell 1 of my e46s and get this one . Lol I’ve Always wanted the 330i . Can’t afford M3 this is next best thing.I love my 325 just want that extra power ..Also all the love and care went into this restoration. Someone is gonna get a great solid car that will last a very long time ! You have went over the top Alec.

Awesome transformation of this car. Good luck selling the car. Anyone who sees these videos will def buy it because of all the service done on it. Much love from Fremont ca!

[hardyschilling]

That thing turned out beautiful. Here's a suggestion for a "bonus episode":

Go to your local wrecker and fetch a new emblem for the trunk, a new lower steering wheel cover, a C pillar cover and an ashtray cover for the passenger compartment. Plus some floor mats maybe.

This would make a nice episode and would help sell the car for 500 bucks extra I think.

Thanks for the video! Gunna check it out after work with my dinner

[motorwolfe]

wow, the 330i is looking good! you've really turned it into a sweet ride. what an amazing transformation from when you got it!!
I also love the Stoner Invisible Glass and the Griot's 3-in-1 leather (you should try some Griot's Leather Restorer for really old dry leather, it's terrific).
the ceramic trim shine was very good. you might want to check out Lithium Trim Serum though - it's unbelievable for trim/plastic restoration, and even works great on headlights/taillights.
lubricating the door & trunk frame seals with the silicone spray is an excellent tactic, I've always done this - rubber loves it and no more squeaks.
BUT
there is something better --- AT-205. yup, the polymerize stuff that helps restore rubber gaskets in your engine to stop oil leaks. I don't even use it for that (it reduces the oil's ability to protect metal surfaces and separates in the oil pan within a few minutes, after shutoff, so no thanks). what it absolutely EXCELS at is restoring anything made of rubber - just dump it in a spray bottle and you can turn back the clock on suspension and subframe bushings, steering rack bushings, rubber hoses, vacuum lines, injector seals, door seals, sunroof seals, driveline flex discs, CV boots, etc. try doing your door seals with that, let it sit overnight, and the next day you'll be amazed at how much quieter the car drives with the softer, thicker seals. just keep it away from your interior leather or clear plastics, as it can mark them if not wiped up immediately.

Hey i saw some staining on the rims. If u really want to u could use a clay bar for it. It makes it really easy to remove the staining 😁 also some light steel wool helps to polish the exhaust tips after the whool just take some metal polish and finish up looking fiiinneee

[MS-wewi]

Good luck with the sale, and thank u for saving this e46🙌

Nice! I flipped 6 of these type of 3 series already and pretty much doubled my profits. These are a fun buy and clean up nice. Even high mileage ones can go for alot.

[Boasandpythons]
