Saving cheap vehicles from getting scrapped is my favorite, I’ve got a couple more lined up. Then it’s back to finishing some projects I started over a year ago lol
Thanks, I ended up grinding down the threaded part and used a nylon nut instead of the two locking nuts they used and it worked perfectly. It was like $1025 with fees. I go to tow yard auctions and people don’t like foreign stuff here so it goes cheap. I love it though lol
I have bought an abandoned 530i manual with everything original except head unit. it has been sitting for 4 years and I got her running with throttle body cleaner and turns out only fuel pump and battery were bad thankfully. costed me 2800$ canadian dollars. Very nice car but I still have it sitting waiting to restore it when I have the time as it is a rust free car which is very rare in canada. Keep up the work I know how hard it is finding a good deal.
That’s awesome man I love the m54b30! I would love to turbo one on the channel. They are absolutely fantastic engines. Hope your restoration goes well! Thanks for watching!
@@AgatasKatkus It is a bit hard restoring a car in highschool as I have to work on my studies and do my job so I barely have enough time to hang around and fix it all in one day. Your welcome cant wait for more 540i videos!
@MathewShaboot Yeah that's for sure when I had my 280z in high school I spent every free second and free dollar working on that car! It's a good time and it will make you appreciate it more. Just don't cheap out or half ass jobs. You will regret it later. I can attest with personal experience!
E39 is my love and I love modifying to the point it grates purists but the semi clears works better than the smoked tails in my humble opinion but great work 💪🏽
I love e39s and honestly the only reason I put those on was because they were on sale for like $50. I prefer the oem lights for sure I just couldn’t find any locally and online they were going for hundreds.
Tbh I’ve had a couple in my lifetime but usually that means I sell them immediately because I can make a really good profit with little work😮💨 this one I sold to my friend for $500 more than I had into it so I was loosing big time on labor lol
4.4 and 6 speed! the dream! wow no messing around, you ripped that subframe right out! The Precious must be Cleeaaaan! so shiny in the end! I have a E61 6speed N52 car, its so good and always vexing me with issues at the same time! 130i M 6 speed cars with low K's are not too expensive imported from Japan, on my wish list for 2025 yessss. Great video! Interesting it came with KW's!
Dude so jealous of the e61 with an n54 and 6 speed. I think there was less than 500 ever imported here. I would have to build my own to have one lol. I think I will do an m54 car eventually on this channel. I have a lot of experience working on them
@@AgatasKatkus Its a whole lot of car, with just enough engine! by the time X-drive\sunroof\air suspension is through with it, 4100lbs of comfort! My N52 has the magnesium valve cover weirdness, currently leaking oil on the manifold (aluminum valve cover bolts, arghhh), it would be rad to see a M54 car, I bet in reality they're almost the same power. I think they sold 1 or 2 a year here in Canada with the manual, makes sense given its intended purpose and 6-speed auto option, gosh its a nice manual trans though, it had a ton of mileage and lots of problems when I bought it, road tripped it 3600km home and fixed it all! (just 35 wires going to the hatch etc etc) The Desire for a RWD 4.4 or later E60 4.8 car is high, mmmm 6 speed, nice job man! I like your outside lift!
@@Kingsoupturbo you need to modify it! I’ve helped many e90,e92, and e60s make 400+ hp with mods. That’s the best part about those engines. I did an m52 valve cover not that long ago actually lol. I’m tired of the outside lift I used to have an indoor shop and I am trying to get another one
@@AgatasKatkus I hear you on the indoor shop! I don't have a real garage right now either, trying to sell the house in spring to move to a rural property with a real shop! I've been thinking Milv's\header\tune for the N52 (for a while now), it could really use it! the Trans is the lighter duty 6 speed so a 4.8 swap or N54 is kind of out of the question!(No wonder in Europe they all have the 3.0 Diesel, many Torques to pull around the big wagon) Its a pretty great car as it is, just not Extra zippy! All sorts of things can break when pulling the valve cover to do the gasket apparently, so waiting for warmer weather to dive into it! (was -17c yesterday, BAH!) Look forward to more BMW content on your channel!
@ that’s awesome man one day I will do something similar. I love living in the city but building a workshop here is almost near impossible. I’ve been looking into doing a Chevy/cadillac LTG swap. Look into them. They are like $1000-1500 with 10-40k miles. Small package and with an intake and tune make 350hp and get 35mpg. I’m not sure yet what I want to swap it into but I will eventually
Yeah just wait I think at the beginning of next year the e46 flat bed truck will be started👀 yeah it was lol. I had a Skyrim noise in there too lol. I’m surprised no one has found the Easter egg at the end of the video I planted lol
@AgatasKatkus like 9.5 out of ten times when you buy a e39 where I live they are totally rusted out in the lift points, my last 540ia was rusted out and I paid 1000 for that🤣
@@AgatasKatkus must be nice, decent price of stuff too it seems, a car like yours in the video here is like 5500 dollars minimum, all the 540i manuals have been beaten to shit as winterbeaters here😅🤣
@ I will say finding a good manual 540i is still hard here. They sell for around the same price here. I had about 2500-3000 by the end of the project. So it was still worth all the work
That’s the real deal, thousand buck Beemer rescued in a ten minute video! You the man.. 👌🇬🇧

New video yes. Also you got a rare bmw since at 1:31 theres no check engine light lol
Exited for this one.
Would you believe me if I told you that it came on later!🫠👀👀 Gotta love BMW's🤘🤘
@@AgatasKatkus Hey if the engine lights on the engine is working lol. Cant wait for the next one.
@@daimienplays I assure you there are more BMWs with check engine lights on than there are without them lol. Still love them though
It's always nice to see another video from you. Keep going bro!
Glad you appreciate them! Imma keep em coming! Would love to do it full time and spend more time on production
cool another great project, Love my
bmw did not give me a major problem
320i. thsnks for being nice to me
bimmer:)
Thank you! An e21 is a great car!
And the award for the shinyest subframe goes to...
Anyway nice job, how did you fix the coilover? The time lapse was not showing anything.. 1000 bucks including fees?
Finally something for all that work😮💨

Wow that's a bargain
Yeah at first I thought I was getting a steal because they had no photos of the back of the car😂
Yesss
🤘🤘🤘

Let’s goooo!!!!!!
Yerrrrrrrr!
yheaa new video keep going brother
Appreciate you watching! Glad you’re here🤘
1000 bucks and oyu can actually lift it with the car lift, not that common around here🤣
Wait what do you mean about the car lift I’m confused on that?
@AgatasKatkus like 9.5 out of ten times when you buy a e39 where I live they are totally rusted out in the lift points, my last 540ia was rusted out and I paid 1000 for that🤣

Maybe contact Sreten from M539 resotrations about your issues with bmw? He’s expert at this.
I wish! Sreten is the man, I’m not big enough to collab with such a legend😮💨
@ dont think so, just contact him, worst you can get is a „no” haha
@@fokuscs yeah your right🤘
200 $ for this Shitbox !
Once upon a time I could get these for like $500😭 those days are gone now
