I struggle alot with my mental health , but I so look forward to your videos Mat they bring a bit of sunshine to a dark day, well done again your smashing it as usual mate .
WARNING: NEVER EVER go under a car even for a quick look if you're just using a trolley jack. Matt had an axle stand but it was in the middle of the car. I've seen a professional garage jack just give way without warning. As extra safety place blocks of wood under the tyres (or shove a wheel underneath. You can also use the car side jack as well. Stay safe!
Indeed. It's no surprise though. The whole ethos of what this guy is doing is on the fringes of what is ethical and can only contribute towards other people taking great risks by encouraging them to put vehicles back on the road that should be scrapped and taken out of the loop completely.

You had the right idea bridging fuse, but it needed to be a better connection, like a bolted earth strap or something. The cranking current will be causing a big voltage drop across your jump lead.

It's amazing how I'm on the edge of my seat while you explain what's going on with the car. 90 percent of the other car channels are so boring after 5 minutes but I can't get enough of your videos. Keep smashing it! (or should I say, other people keep smashing it, so Mat has something to fix)
Matt literally reminds me of my dad when he finds yellow stickered reduced item’s when out shopping! 😂😂😂 .. All jokes aside, it’s a combo of the content itself, Matts Hype & The cars he decides too rebuild! …All I’m saying is… NOT BAD FOR A LAD THAT STARTED OFF RIDING BMX! ✌️🫶
Matt you don’t get enough credit for how crazy hard you work this is insane. The fact you have multiple huge projects on at the same time you still take on more and manage to upload long in-depth videos with updates on each car every couple days is literally insane! Even the amount of work and detail you put into the cars is insane. Keep it up man
Mate, you have come soooooo far. As an ex electronic engineer I love you faiult finding temchnique. Split have and work backwards. You’ve nailed it! Process gets you there. No one out there doing what you do. I get up every day hoping there’s a Mat Armstrong video to watch. Keep up the amazing posts mate 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥃
@@DSCMBOBULTD gt86 is outside my unit. I use it as my drift car but had no reason to film on it atm. The e24 build will carry on once the Murcie has an engine in. There’s no rush on that build as it has to be in the ramp a long time to do the rust
Yay! The good old half split technique! Another old git here who learnt that as an M&E apprentice back in 1990. This channel is awesome for any of us practical have a go heroes, I’m desperate to get my hands on a wrecked car but I’m lacking a garage 😢 Recently did a ton of repairs on my sons first car learning from RUclips (same way I learnt to plaster when I did up our house) That’s how I stumbled across this channel, it’s amazing. I love the way Mat doesn’t hide his mistakes, we all cock things up from time to time but that’s how you learn!
He could get the car inside the shop super easy on 4 dollie-jacks all by himself no need for electric power.. But it seems like overly complications are longer and the struggle apparently is more fun to watch..
@@MatArmstrongbmx Looking at rebuilding cars for myself any thought why some cars sit at auction with tiny bits of bumper damage and have been written off?
Never seen anyone so determined and so undeterred by the seemingly impossible. This was something addictively impressive. You have a rare, self-taught talent. Best of luck with this project!
Matt Armstrong has nailed this RUclips. Been following for a long time now and the content is one that you don't want to forward or skip at any time. It's is so engaging it's unreal!! Keep it up and keep the re-builds going Matt!
Me as a BMW head for over 15jears, it makes me really happy to see you struggling with the handbrake so much. I thought I was insane when working on anything with mine 😅
Well done Mat, you have one of the actual most quality channels with these rebuilds. So many channels have misinformation and don't take due care with their repairs. Keep em coming man!
Riveting! Happened upon your M5 rebuild video while scanning for something interesting to watch. I've never, not ever, been interested in car repair but I couldn't stop watching. Your enthusiasm and personality is a great part of the attraction. Thank You for the show! Now I'm watching your first visit to America and the purple Porsche. 💜
Brilliant jobs with your videos, Mat, you're one of the very few channels I get notifications from. Always super entertaining and good to watch someone so positive do what they love! Cheers from Brazil!
This never stops lmaooo 😂😂😂 You’re so great Mat, look how far you’ve come from ! You have now 2 units, multiple dream cars to fix, tons of self-acquired knowledge, and a community that is growing faster than ever ! Keep going, you are doing incredible videos 😍😍 Cheers from south of france ❤
When a BMW gets into an accident the battery terminal fuse gets disconnected to avoid any fires or sparks going to the engine bay that’s why it won’t crank. I worked at a dealership and there was a guy who crashed the car inside the dealership, airbags were deployed and BMW Techs had to disconnect battery terminal fuse because it was in limp mode.
Awesome car, can’t wait to see the build on this one, the engine on that comes out complete with the transmission, subframe, struts etc on a huge platform, looking forward to seeing the progress on it.
Aside from loving your videos I just came here to tell you how to get any car in the garage without putting it in neutral. They sell individual wheel dollies. There’s pretty many different types some don’t even require being jacked up if you do a search but the basic idea is 4 little castor wheels under each tire and pull/push the car inside the heater garage. Happy building brother!
Never done anything this big, but there is a great deal of satisfaction when you have to work out a car "problem" bit by bit, and use some of that science you thought you would never need. I'm hooked.
to get positive cable working in boot you need to remove cable with fuse and smack with hammer on that fuse to get good connection ,until it gets changed in future or connect in front with booster to start, because in front power get directly for engine to start and jumper cables should be thicker because not enough power gets thru small cables and you cant start car
Love the channel Mat.Glued to the Murcielago rebuild Cant wait to see that one finished. If you need any parts and I'm sure you will for the M5 I can get you the absolutely best prices for you. I'm the parts manager at Sytner BMW Maidenhead and I'm always willing to do a deal. Just let me know.👍👍
Matt, Your videos are super, one of the best if not the best. Think long term, don’t over work, your output is so high but make sure you are not hammering yourself. Also, your road trips are also class and allow you to get a bit of a break.
Mat your videos are so addictive, makes me want to do repairs, I work on my x5 as much I can, m5 comp what a car indeed mat, can't wait for the next part on this beast of a car, Merry Christmas to you both
Hi Matt, there is usually a manual pull cord fitted under the rear bench cushion to release the boot. On other M5 models, I’d imagine the F90 is the same
Haha, being a bmw owner I found myself screaming at my screen for you to press the brake pedal while releasing the hand break... Great channel, very entertaining.
@@evanstewartryker3505 When you crash a BMW, there is a fuse that blows at the battery.. You need to change or bypass it to start the engine again...I was screaming in the beginning when he wanted to start it to CHECK THE FUSE :))))
@@AMdrew also I'm not sure about newer models like this, but where the external trunk latch is there is usually a keyhole beside the license plate light to unlock the trunk with no power.
Nice challenge. The two thoughts I had: if you remove the oilcoolers I suppose you need less oil. (unless the gauge has the same volume as the original two oil coolers). Second: I guess it is safer to use a fuse if some kind of fuse has blown up....
Love your video matt , the skyline 24hr repair first caught my attention and also after watching your inspiring journey becoming a youtuber , I'm now hooked , keep it going !
3.4 million views in 3 weeks, that's amazing! So good to see. It's weird, I get excited thinking about the finished cars, and they're not even mine. Love the channel, it's just so good. Absolutely smashing it! Even my 6 week old baby was interested in watching one of the Murcielago videos I had on this morning 😅
You and Hannah really make the best videos Mat. You seem like such a nice and cheerful guy, and you and Hannah are so good together. Keep up the good/hardwork 👍😀
Mate, I had the same issue when we bought a m5, the best way to start it to have the battery charged up or one jump starter at the battery and one jump starter at the front and that will give enough power to start the engine every time, this basically means your airbag fuse has gone off near the battery
Yo dude. I felt the heart in the mouth moment with when that engine did not crank. Amazing content dude. And its really so good to see you take the plunge yet again on a destroyed car. Totally believe you get this one back on the road ❤
After a long day, this is what I want to watch. every time I watch your videos I get motivated to work on my Ford Fiesta ... thanks for your content Mat Armstrong❤
Unbelievably valuable lessons to be learned from your mindset here, not even kidding! -I looked at that car thinking "yeah that's totaled, no chance in hell this is going fixed, professionals in a shop would just laugh at anyone bringing that in and fixing it would exceed the cost of a new one, so sad, was a beautiful car" -Meanwhile this guy: "Ye I can fix her in my garage with about 10k lol" With a mindset like that you are destined to achieve incredible things. You're doing the impossible while others just doubt. Take notes, everyone!
ill be honest, im keen to see this one go through, get fixed and hopefully end up being raffled off. Of the cars Mat has done and worked on, this is one id def be interested in trying to win and own! (with the exception of the Vantage that is) shall be watching this one closely!!
great challenging project. We had a fearless guy in the german community who changed to another Audi RS7 engine what had an overheated zylinder, What a messy work but xxxxxx clicks and all petrolheads wanted to see if he can make it. keep my fingers crossed for your project and think about to use another spare doner chassis instead of the repair. cheers from Germany - rock on, Matt
Mat, loving your work. You put my small-scale car projects into perspective and give me the confidence to smash through unexpected problems. This video made me laugh out loud so many times.
another AMAZING video Mat - can't wait to see this unfold. In terms of moving the car around if the gearbox is locked - get a set of wheel dollies - they make this a breeze! Also - please use axle stands as well as a jack! Don't want any accidents!!
6:24 Before crawling under a car, secure it from dropping if the jack fails... ALWAYS!!! ust get some cheap wood... or capable jackstands... crazy! At least the weels werent off... 😵
I can't wait to see you dealing with the amount of electronic issues you'll have to fix, as BMW owner I can guarantee you that these babies give you a hard time to repair. But at the end, it will be worth it because nothing compares to drive a BMW. Keep it up with the hard work man!!
man!! i don'nt know nothing about how to fix car but when I saw you are rebuilding a damaged M5comp I could'nt resist myself to watch it , super stokted for the next vid , I know you can fix this car too , your are invincible , good luck buddy
Ohh bro you dont know how much i was disapointed when some ideas dont work and car cant start but for that at the end i was 10x more happier when it start. I wish you luck with car and i waiting for moree videos 💪💪😁
I repaired a S African X6 that rolled with the same motor. Loads of water pipes and auxiliary pumps running in the front. Nevermind the intercoolers and intakes. Enjoy. You have your work cut out for your there bud! Neutral lever on the gearbox by the way.
This video is a great example of how you can take a risk and turn it into something beautiful. Plus with the 10% off at Car Vertical, it's worth checking out to make sure you don't have any hidden problems with your car that you didn't know about!
@@domgoff999 He must be insane to pay 32.5 for a total junk. That junk is not even worth 5k. The amount of work and parts to fix it is more than a new one.
@@sonofman9404 insane or genius? He has a very successful YT channel to pay for it. Most people will think how on earth can you fix that and will watch every part increasing YT revenue for the next crazy project. I agree though 32.5 is far too much for the state it’s in.
@@sonofman9404 did you see the abandoned Murcielago? Such a state inside and out, engine was out and was rebuilt by someone clearly without a clue requiring a rebuild from scratch - £100k, that was also way too much.
I have a BMW M6 competition and you found a beautiful BMW M5 Mat, congratulations! You can restore it. I restored a 2002 Jaguar XJR and gave her a 2nd life by replacing a lot of parts :)
Mat, how on earth do you find the time to produce/edit and film these videos AND fixing god knows how many cars at the same time? They are so brilliant, this is easily my favourite YT channel. Keep it up! (PS. Real shame about the Rolls, that would have been epic)
Little tip with the cable tie use 2 one fold in half to make a loop feed the other through it and pull down it’ll make it 10x easier to thread a cable tie
That sure is a challenge Matt. I'm sure I could see the stress in the button pushing lol. Still think you got this but that strut tower don't look ideal. Still you'd have the perfect engine and drive train for a crazy build!
I will forever be indebted to you Mrs sandra you’ve changed my whole life I’ll continue to preach about your name for the world to hear you’ve saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment thanks so much Mrs. sandra
@@magaritalott4139 I invest with Mrs sandra too, she charges a 20% commission on profit made after every trading session which is fair compared to the effort she put in to make huge profits.That woman has been a blessing to me and my family.
I'm hooked on these videos man I can't believe you have the patience to actually fix these cars I'd go postal and set it on fire within the first 2 hrs
Thank you Marie, I’m forever grateful to you ma May the good lord bless you Since I started trading forex with your company things have turned around positively for me
Thank you ma you’re a blessing to this generation, all thanks to you I’ve been able to archive a lot within the past few years, I’m proud to call my self successful
Ma men were you a teacher once in your lifetime? You narrate your stories so flawlessly like you've done this a lifetime bruv! 😝. And That makes me the newest subscriber to the channel, and definitely gets a hit on the like button!
Mat ALWAYS use axle stand whenever ur getting under any vehicle, never trust a jack. I've had failures happen to myself and I only work on my own cars (family cars also)
Bro was up just bumped into this video and i got to stay i felt how you started up and grow you motivated me because me has just turning 20 a month now and not working love this video had to subscribe ❤
next time, for a tight spot like that transmission lever, get a tiny fish hook (blunt the point so u dont get hurt) and have a fishline attached to it. have the hook rest on the hole. and use a hot needle to make a hole in the zip tie or tie it to it and then pull it thru with the hook. if that makes sense lol
Hannah is a real gem! I bet she brings more to team than these videos let on. Love the co tent buddy! It’s somehow really diverse even though it’s the same sort of thing each time. Very entertaining!
this challenge is about to be mega 👀 😮
No way it’s RUclips

And how he puts loads of content in one video instead of chopping into tiny more videos or dragging things for views. He's the best.

Body shop managers in the comments 🤣😂
Unbelievably valuable lessons to be learned from your mindset here, not even kidding!
-I looked at that car thinking "yeah that's totaled, no chance in hell this is going fixed, professionals in a shop would just laugh at anyone bringing that in and fixing it would exceed the cost of a new one, so sad, was a beautiful car"
-Meanwhile this guy: "Ye I can fix her in my garage with about 10k lol"
With a mindset like that you are destined to achieve incredible things. You're doing the impossible while others just doubt. Take notes, everyone!
Front end knock. Understatement of the year. Love this guys bravery to take on the worst stuff.
heee
sory
Getting bigger and better gonna love this build! So far Range Rover was most interesting for me
I’ve seriously been binge watching your channel for 2 days now and I’m obsessed and not ashamed to admit that
You are amazing mate. Keep up the good work. Love watching you at work. You are an inspiration. 🎉❤
ill be honest, im keen to see this one go through, get fixed and hopefully end up being raffled off. Of the cars Mat has done and worked on, this is one id def be interested in trying to win and own! (with the exception of the Vantage that is)
shall be watching this one closely!!
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ No
great challenging project. We had a fearless guy in the german community who changed to another Audi RS7 engine what had an overheated zylinder, What a messy work but xxxxxx clicks and all petrolheads wanted to see if he can make it. keep my fingers crossed for your project and think about to use another spare doner chassis instead of the repair. cheers from Germany - rock on, Matt
Mat, loving your work. You put my small-scale car projects into perspective and give me the confidence to smash through unexpected problems. This video made me laugh out loud so many times.
Hey mat love your vids, this build is going to be so good, good luck!
You have a likeable personality with a brilliant sincere smile and your Mrs' gentle persona is ever so complimenting. Don't lose that!
A “front end knock” is a SERIOUS understatement 🤣🤣
another AMAZING video Mat - can't wait to see this unfold. In terms of moving the car around if the gearbox is locked - get a set of wheel dollies - they make this a breeze! Also - please use axle stands as well as a jack! Don't want any accidents!!
6:24 Before crawling under a car, secure it from dropping if the jack fails... ALWAYS!!! ust get some cheap wood... or capable jackstands... crazy! At least the weels werent off... 😵
I can't wait to see you dealing with the amount of electronic issues you'll have to fix, as BMW owner I can guarantee you that these babies give you a hard time to repair. But at the end, it will be worth it because nothing compares to drive a BMW. Keep it up with the hard work man!!
I love how you describe what I would consider a nasty front end smash, it as having a front end knock, lol. You're definitely a braver man than I. 😁
man!! i don'nt know nothing about how to fix car but when I saw you are rebuilding a damaged M5comp I could'nt resist myself to watch it , super stokted for the next vid , I know you can fix this car too , your are invincible , good luck buddy
Depending on the alloy, the strut tower may be weldable in place. Worth asking an ally expert before pulling it off.
Bro this is gonna be a sick build
Ohh bro you dont know how much i was disapointed when some ideas dont work and car cant start but for that at the end i was 10x more happier when it start. I wish you luck with car and i waiting for moree videos 💪💪😁
This is gonna be a epic video and this is something Mat always does and its amazing 🔥🔥🐐🐐🐐
Absolute legend mate, that is gonna be a weapon when it’s finished, the only rebuild channel worth watching on RUclips 🔥
I repaired a S African X6 that rolled with the same motor. Loads of water pipes and auxiliary pumps running in the front. Nevermind the intercoolers and intakes. Enjoy. You have your work cut out for your there bud! Neutral lever on the gearbox by the way.
This video is a great example of how you can take a risk and turn it into something beautiful. Plus with the 10% off at Car Vertical, it's worth checking out to make sure you don't have any hidden problems with your car that you didn't know about!
I love how nothing fazes you and you never give up. I'm also very surprised how expensive these wrecks cost.
How much was it?
@@sonofman9404 £32,500
@@domgoff999 He must be insane to pay 32.5 for a total junk. That junk is not even worth 5k. The amount of work and parts to fix it is more than a new one.
@@sonofman9404 insane or genius? He has a very successful YT channel to pay for it. Most people will think how on earth can you fix that and will watch every part increasing YT revenue for the next crazy project. I agree though 32.5 is far too much for the state it’s in.
@@sonofman9404 did you see the abandoned Murcielago? Such a state inside and out, engine was out and was rebuilt by someone clearly without a clue requiring a rebuild from scratch - £100k, that was also way too much.
I have a BMW M6 competition and you found a beautiful BMW M5 Mat, congratulations! You can restore it. I restored a 2002 Jaguar XJR and gave her a 2nd life by replacing a lot of parts :)
Mat, how on earth do you find the time to produce/edit and film these videos AND fixing god knows how many cars at the same time? They are so brilliant, this is easily my favourite YT channel. Keep it up! (PS. Real shame about the Rolls, that would have been epic)
Love from south africa

Little tip with the cable tie use 2 one fold in half to make a loop feed the other through it and pull down it’ll make it 10x easier to thread a cable tie
That sure is a challenge Matt. I'm sure I could see the stress in the button pushing lol. Still think you got this but that strut tower don't look ideal. Still you'd have the perfect engine and drive train for a crazy build!
I will forever be indebted to you Mrs sandra you’ve changed my whole life I’ll continue to preach about your name for the world to hear you’ve saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment thanks so much Mrs. sandra
I’m surprised you know her too. I’ve been making a lot of profits investing with her for a few months now.
@@eddie2555 Mrs sandra changed my life because of the huge profits I got from investing with her.
@@magaritalott4139 I invest with Mrs sandra too, she charges a 20% commission on profit made after every trading session which is fair compared to the effort she put in to make huge profits.That woman has been a blessing to me and my family.
@@stephenhall.h3144 I’m new at this, how can I reach your broker?

I'm hooked on these videos man I can't believe you have the patience to actually fix these cars I'd go postal and set it on fire within the first 2 hrs
Thank you Marie, I’m forever grateful to you ma
May the good lord bless you
Since I started trading forex with your company things have turned around positively for me
I’m lucky and grateful to have met marie ❤❤❤ God bless you marie
Thank you ma you’re a blessing to this generation, all thanks to you I’ve been able to archive a lot within the past few years, I’m proud to call my self successful
It would be nice to have $2,000 stimulus check for l people with social security disabilities so we can invest as well 😔
People prefer to spend money on liabilities,Rather than investing in assets and be very profitable.
You're so correct! Save, invest and spend for necessities and a few luxuries relatives to on's total assets ratio.
Start something on line don't ask for a freebie
Mat, loving your work.
To release an electronic e brake u push the putting. TO engage you pull. Both while holding brake pedal
Much Love ❤ from Uganda 🇺🇬 Africa | U inspire me mat
Ma men were you a teacher once in your lifetime? You narrate your stories so flawlessly like you've done this a lifetime bruv!
😝. And That makes me the newest subscriber to the channel, and definitely gets a hit on the like button!
Mat ALWAYS use axle stand whenever ur getting under any vehicle, never trust a jack. I've had failures happen to myself and I only work on my own cars (family cars also)
Bro was up just bumped into this video and i got to stay i felt how you started up and grow you motivated me because me has just turning 20 a month now and not working love this video had to subscribe ❤
next time, for a tight spot like that transmission lever, get a tiny fish hook (blunt the point so u dont get hurt) and have a fishline attached to it. have the hook rest on the hole. and use a hot needle to make a hole in the zip tie or tie it to it and then pull it thru with the hook. if that makes sense lol
Hannah is a real gem! I bet she brings more to team than these videos let on. Love the co tent buddy! It’s somehow really diverse even though it’s the same sort of thing each time. Very entertaining!
