This week, we're trying to revive Edwin's half finished project car E36 that he bought for way too much money a few weeks ago. Will we get the car running and on the road with a fresh MOT, or will someone else's project car prove an impossible task to fix?
Huge shout out to BC Racing for getting the coilovers to us so fast! If you want a set, head here 👉 www.bc-racing.co.uk
Massive thank you to Smart Rimz Oxford for their help refurbishing the E36s wheels! 👉

I’m loving the new direction the channel has taken since I lost track of it a few years ago. Every video I watched the past couple months has been top notch, very enjoyable to watch!

@aye3678 5 місяців тому

Absolutely agree with everything you've said. I'm thoroughly enjoying the videos these lads have been pumping out lately!

@kiantomlin1492 5 місяців тому

I was just about to say how good the content's been lately. Would also like to see the E36 when it's finished 🙏

@miniaturefun-guy 5 місяців тому

Agreed. Fast becoming one of my favourite motoring channels.

Once Car Throttle lost Alex, they decided to get their head out of their arse and give the hosts a decent budget to work with, this is something Alex touched on in a podcast appearance, one of the reasons he left, it’s good to see this channel pumping out good content once again

This is looking good boys, this E36 is going to look great again! I also have a sedan from '98, it's a 318i Edition with lots of options like climate control, cruise control, park distance control. Lovely car, exept the head gasket... that sadly blew out a few days ago. It's leaking coolant at the exhaust side of the engine. So we have some work to do. :) Good luck on your E36 project guys!

Some years ago now, my ex used to have a white E36 318is manual sedan. It was a really cool car to drive. I must admit while my E90 323i (sadly auto) is perfectly nice, I am really coming to appreciate how both the E36 and E46 series BMWs look so good and in many ways havn’t dated.

@poepflater 5 місяців тому

I've started working on my project beetle, parked it about 10 years ago, paint looks a bit rough in spots even though it has never seen a day's rain. Suspect the old guy that did most of the bodywork didn't clean spots well enough before painting. Hardest part is finding all the bots and bobs that I still need to put back, luckily it is only a few interior items, and windows that needs to go in. We even redid the cylinder heads, then I drove it about 200m home and parked it. Going to sell it,m but already have all the parts, so moight as well complete the work and get as much as I can for the car. Luckily done in a 1pack paint so pretty easy to paint again, Its like 30 GBP for 5 liters. At least for our MOT, you just take a place in the que, no appointments.

@volkstechniks 5 місяців тому

The vehicle is a non ABS car, however, as explained, the cluster was swapped with the engine, resulting in an abs light. The rear drive shaft for the upgraded rear axle also came from a car with ABS, however the vehicle itself still has no abs and needs no abs warning light.
