Nothing wrong with keeping one of your finished products! Well… unless you keep them all then lol. Something you can take out on the weekends and enjoy while slowly watching it appreciate in value. Love the videos and tips you give to those of us just starting out.
Yay, excited to see another one! You're the best flipper on RUclips, hands down. Others on here I notice just detail the car and do a few cosmetic fixes and then screw the buyer over by doing no mechanical work... You actually fix the issues and make it worth while for the new owner. You're great.
That’s how you gain reputation in this business if you sell junk ppl word gets around to not buy your cars if you sell good quality cars like buddy does ppl word goes around that you don’t sell junk and if you see a listing from you you can expect a good quality car some of the ppl that buy his cars aren’t first time buyers either some ppl are buying their second or third car from him
@@danthecarman3424 the only thing that I can guarantee is that mechanical problems are fixed, anything else I don't think that canned sprays replaces pro painting
Someone told me when I first started messing with cars it is so addicting it would get in my blood and there would be no turning back. They were right. I flipped my first car in 2017 and made $3000 profit. It was like winning a scratch off ticket and I enjoyed restoring it before selling it so I've been flipping and rebuilding cars ever since. Your videos are awesome keep them coming!
The planet needs more guys like this. Simply awesome! Bringing value - to himself, to the previous owner, to the next owner for sure, and to us by explaining everything in detail and by showing how it's done! Respect sir!
What value did he bring to the previous owner or the next? He is flipping cars - he has to put in the work and $$$ on top of purchase price and hope someone else buys it later for an inflated price. If you don't know how to work on cars then you will be paying a premium for a mechanic to fix issues and with the german cars they will ream you. Depending on where you are if you sell more than 5 cars per year you will have to register as a business which is also an added cost. You also don't want to use bondo on rims - that is a cheap and dirty fix.
@@corail53 I suppose previous owner was happy to finally sell the car. And I'm pretty sure the next owner was happy to buy the car in good condition. If that's not value to you, most probably you haven't seen examples of how other car flippers operate.
@@alexanderchurikov7026I agree! Far too many people just looking to lowball the first owner and do nothing except take better pictures and hide problem areas before overcharging the next guy 😢. This guy is the real deal, actually put time, love, and care into fixing up the vehicle for the next owner. Even getting a battery and tint with a warranty.
it's actually so smart to hold onto it. The E36 is finally getting the recognition it deserves and you chose a flawless time to buy it and refurbish it. Enjoy the profits my friend.
They made a metric ton of these - they won't be going up much in value unless they are super clean and low milage. They only became popular again because the drifters have been buying them up because they are cheap and easy to work on - they are already suffering from the drift tax.
This is so sick. Love how not a single questions was left unanswered. All the complicated terminology and acronyms were explained. How the special and often a little mysterious or not often spoken of repair process were done and how to do them. Such a cool guy! Subbed and liked.
Buddy, as far as this line of business is concerned you are by far the best flipper I have seen on RUclips, I've noticed the passion you have for perfection when it comes to your work and I guess anyone doing business with you is safe. Thanks, your content is so incredible.
I love your flips that involve a lot of mechanical trouble shooting and repairs but this really shows me what body work I can try myself and what's best left to the pros. Helpful as always
I respect this guy, He's an awesome entrepreneur. Making money off of flipping cars while also making quality content! Encouraging others to do so as well. 👍 Keep up the grind buddy!
Bro you honestly deserve at least a million subscribers. You do an amazing job on these cars & you can tell these videos are really well thought out along with really good video quality. I love the vids man! Much love💪🏼
i normally don't like to buy cars from flippers, because a lot of them only polish what you can see, but don't work on some actually detail that you can't inspect. but you are the one that i wouldn't hesitate to buy car from. your work is flawless! thanks for sharing such high quality video!
i don’t blame you for keeping it man, that thing is a beauty! always appreciate these videos as i’m so interested in flipping cars, well done on this, this was an amazing deal!!
These videos are seriously addictive. I appreciate how you don’t skip over anything in the car and work to make it as perfect as possible. I’d feel very comfortable buying a used car off you
From a car guy in the automobile industry for 25 years these videos are THE MOST VALUABLE Car Flip content for guys wanting a side hustle or full time car flipping. Keep up the good work Buddy, we see you! 🔥🔥🔥
This series finally made me realized what I want to do after high school (I finish in 9 weeks). Never had any idea what I wanted to do for a living, and now I think I have an answer to that question.
u need capitol but check my earliest videos i scored an e46 bmw i bought for 300 flipped into 3500 did that many times now have 40k saved, goodluck all in 3 years
Don’t forget to account for registration sales tax and titling the car. Laws vary state to state, but where I live you have 14 days to do so otherwise you get fined. When you register the car you have to pay sales tax so for this vehicle that would be an extra $1250 where I live. Plus registration fees, for this vehicle probably another $150. Then you can only do I think four per year without having a dealers license. Fun side hustle, but difficult to make a living at.
Thank you so much for these videos. Using them as references, I have started flipping cars myself. After a couple of losses I’m starting to make money, largely because of your business model and the attention to detail you bring to every car. Thank you for these videos, you’re doing all of us a huge favor.
Just wanted to say thank you man. I came across your videos and decided to try my first flip after selling one of my cars. I turned 2k into 3.5k. Thank you
A marvel, the process, the care of every detail, the video, the edition, absolutely everything is great, I love watching this type of videos and I hope one day to use them in the future with cars that I want to buy.
Love how you take very deep attention to details and making the car look brand new! Definitely the best car flipper in youtube thanks for posting content I always look forward to your flip videos!
In a lot of these older BMWs, especially the E36 vintage, as seen here, parts of the interior pieces and upholstery were actually held together by glue, which, naturally, deteriorates. In a state like FL where the climate accelerates the contraction and expansion factor, I'm sure it is even more so prevalent on these older examples.
Love these videos. I am in Tampa and aspiring to do what you do pretty soon. Just taking it slow, learning how to work on cars and all that. You, Chrisfix, and the rest of the car community have really helped and have me watching car videos all day long. My stepdad is a mechanic and I never could get into working on cars when I was younger, but now in my thirties I am hooked. Keep up the great videos.
Bro, you really deserve more recognition and subs to your channel. This is, by far, the most educative, detailed and entertaining series I've watched, regarding flipping cars. The attention to little things and the structure you keep is inmaculate. When I discovered your channel, I watch all the videos for this series you had up in less than a day. I can't wait for more. Congrats on your new beemer. You might want to try to mod it... Just saying.
Absolutely hooked on your videos Buddy! My friend and I are thinking of flipping cars over the next few summers to help pay for college. My dad is a former air force mechanic and knows everything there is to know about cars, so we figure if we pool our resources we can make a huge profit and put a large dent in our college tuition. Thanks for sparking a new interest!
Found Autotempest a few years ago on another channel and it's great. This video interested me a lot because I had a 95 M3 that I loved and sold with 200,000 miles on it. Great car and a blast to drive....mine had the five-speed. Thanks for this. Ken in Titusville.
a few things 1 - amazing how you get to the point on what products to use and how to do it , no bs , love it/ 2 - You are very skill at fixing things 3 - lastly , I almost knew that you were keeping that bmw. I sold mine last year and I ve been having so many regrets about it , there is something about a BMW that attracts people , specially the old generation best of luck , new subscriber!
So glad you kept it! I was looking at it unfixed and I was like I would just keep it. love these videos as I will soon have to do these flips myself once my mother gives the car to my younger brother.
I found my new binge channel. I absolutely love your editing style and story telling. I am very picky about those and i hate what i see on youtube, but you are breath of fresh air. Very awesome content, thank you very much for good work.
I love your videos man, your easily the best car restoration channel on RUclips, IMO. You’ve given me confidence and inspiration to restore a Volvo S60 R. When I’m done I’ll comment on another video to let you know how it went!
Nothing but respect to the dedication for these videos. It just made my day to see the notification as I believe it did for most of us. As someone who is looking into mechanical engineering this gives input and education about cars. Thanks for all the work man!
I’ve got an e36 with all the common problems they get. It’s becoming a bit overwhelming and I couldn’t seem to find any videos that detailed the fixes I would need to undertake. This video though, was the best 3 series content I’ve come across since buying the car. It is perfect. Great detail and explaining. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
Great work and content, enjoy all your work. I owned a 97 M3 myself, not surprised you wanted to keep it. Had the issue with the glove box. Word of advice, swap out the zip tie you used and make the fastener part connect on the back side (inside the dash) so it’s not exposed in the glove box. You will eventually cut/scratch your hand on the exposed part where you cut it, reaching into the glove box. Use a black one and you’ll never even notice it’s there! Enjoy the M3!
I rarely comment on videos, but I really love these flip videos. Not something I'll ever do myself but I just love seeing mechanical work. PS I really hope in the future you and ChrisFix can do a video together.
Nice make-over! Most of those issues are pretty common on E36, just make sure to keep an eye on the cooling system, since there are a few common weak points (plastic radiator ends, plastic t-stat housing, plastic water pump impeller, brittle expansion tank). Fortunately, E36 is designed with service in mind and are very easy to work on and maintain.
the E36 and in lesser form the E46 are probably the easiest to fix due to the lack of overly complicated electronics. Well...as long as you choose the cheap, unwanted US spec version.
@@TheChill001 Electronics are one thing. I actually find OBD2 stuff easier to work on because scan tools allow you to glimpse into what the computers are seeing and diagnose issues that way. That said, the OBD1 can have a lot more issues going on and still operate as a functioning automobile. I was more or less referring to the physical layout of things however. Most of the suspension became way more complicated in the F series and up, and the engine bays are just layers upon layers of plastic pieces that have to be removed with surgical precision in exactly the right order or its gonna cost you a few hundred for new plastic bits. E series chassis, was not only designed for factory assembly, but my impression is it was also designed for modular and piece by piece servicing. Every nut and bolt is placed in a way where it can be accessed with basic hand tools, and nearly any part can be removed without disassembly of 1/3 of the vehicle.
Super fun and detailed watch, and I just learned more about these glove boxes! The only thing I'd say to do differently is replacing all old tint, regardless of delamination or physical defect - you can still see the color difference from the drivers door with fresh tint to the rear quarters with blueish tint. Tint usually has a 5-10 yr lifespan and the dyes will fade and change color, and clarity will get worse, rendering "matching" not so possible. The other cheap option would just be complete removal, but Florida and UV rays on your nice interior and skin... yeah I prefer tint, even if light. Glad I found this, rad work!
I absolutely love these videos. Straight to the point, super informative, well edited and an absolute joy to watch. Thanks for all the info you've provided for free, you deserve at least a million more subs if you ask me! Also I guess I'm that lone idiot who still looks for used cars on his computer lol
i know nothing about repairing or flipping cars so i watched this to get the idea of how much money circulates from it, this video explained everything i was curious about! top of the line content
Hey Buddy I love these videos and how thorough and honest you are about the car flipping process. But you’ve never spoken about the DMV process regarding transfer of title and taxes/fees paid for buying these cars. This is a very important of this process isn’t it? I’d love to hear your advice on this as well
That was my same question. It probably varies state to state, but in Washington state you have 15 days to register the car or you start getting fined. At which point you have to pay sales tax on it, which if your intent is to turn around and flip it, you just lost 10% of the profits right there. In other words registering this BMW would cost $1250 in Washington state, before you could sell it.
I tried this buddy and I totally got screwed spent $6,000 on a GMC Sierra 4 wheel drive thought I could flip it come to find out the guy I bought it from filled the entire frame up with fillafoam cans that foam stuff that hardens pretty quickly and then he painted it or Rusty color so when I checked the frame it looked absolutely fine until I started getting some work done to it and then I found out I got screwed I lost thousands of dollars so so pissed off.
I did I did a thorough inspection on it three times the guy was really smart at what he did he filled the entire frame up with fillafoam and then painted it like a rusty color the mechanical shop that told me this said this guy took a lot of time and energy and money to make it look perfect so he could get rid of it they almost didn't see it themselves and these are professionals
And I don't buy my vehicles at a s*** box dealer I buy them private sale this other vehicle I bought I bought it in a state that had no lemon law and I had no idea the state didn't have that so from now on I will not be buying any vehicles from that state be buying my vehicles from Massachusetts from now on where there's a 30-day lemon law if I would have bought that vehicle there I could have sued that son of a b****
Great video! Do you have to pay sales tax on your purchase? (In Michigan I would have to pay 6%). Would you rec having a hoist to lift the car for brake, exhaust or any other under the car work ?
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever hoping to retire next year... Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.
@Amy Campbell little, not at all. After carefully watching my portfolio's performance, which has generated a staggering $473k in only the last two quarters, I now understand how experienced traders can generate such high returns from a market that to novices appears to provide little opportunity for profit. I have to admit that this was my most boldest decision/choice in recent times.
@@loretagurakuqi6950 In fact, I've been researching advisors lately because the market news I've been seeing hasn't been that positive. Who is directing you, exactly?
@@Trentkozman PATRICIA V VESELY is the advisor I'm in touch with. She works for Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated. and was recently featured on CNBC Television. §tocks, Forex,crypto... Etc..

This guy has me hooked. His video so well made and I understand it takes a while to record, to fix, to find a car and all the above. Great job and hope you have more and more subs and views.
I grew up in the car business. As my dad used to say "this ain't a museum". With the right buyer, I think you could bring rain with that BMW. I would love to see an update when you finally do sell it.
You did an awesome job man! BMW makes one of the coolest cars out there in my opinion, the BMW '90 designs looks timeless! Anyways, keep on going, loved the video!
Love it that you kept it!!!!!!!! WHO WOULDN’T? And yes, I subscribed. But only because you’re so honest & thorough. 👍 Keep the videos coming. They’re a joy to watch & learn from.

I rarely comment on videos, but I really love these flip videos. Not something I'll ever do myself but I just love seeing mechanical work.
PS I really hope in the future you and ChrisFix can do a video together.
@That V8 Life ChrisFix is amazing and the best automotive youtuber on the platform. stfu
Hey man, you are the one to take advice from! Btw. I am amazed how fast you can talk without any verbal slippery.
Nice make-over! Most of those issues are pretty common on E36, just make sure to keep an eye on the cooling system, since there are a few common weak points (plastic radiator ends, plastic t-stat housing, plastic water pump impeller, brittle expansion tank). Fortunately, E36 is designed with service in mind and are very easy to work on and maintain.
Where's car auctions?
the E36 and in lesser form the E46 are probably the easiest to fix due to the lack of overly complicated electronics. Well...as long as you choose the cheap, unwanted US spec version.
@@TheChill001 Electronics are one thing. I actually find OBD2 stuff easier to work on because scan tools allow you to glimpse into what the computers are seeing and diagnose issues that way. That said, the OBD1 can have a lot more issues going on and still operate as a functioning automobile. I was more or less referring to the physical layout of things however. Most of the suspension became way more complicated in the F series and up, and the engine bays are just layers upon layers of plastic pieces that have to be removed with surgical precision in exactly the right order or its gonna cost you a few hundred for new plastic bits. E series chassis, was not only designed for factory assembly, but my impression is it was also designed for modular and piece by piece servicing. Every nut and bolt is placed in a way where it can be accessed with basic hand tools, and nearly any part can be removed without disassembly of 1/3 of the vehicle.
I love this series, your tips are awesome!
Super fun and detailed watch, and I just learned more about these glove boxes! The only thing I'd say to do differently is replacing all old tint, regardless of delamination or physical defect - you can still see the color difference from the drivers door with fresh tint to the rear quarters with blueish tint. Tint usually has a 5-10 yr lifespan and the dyes will fade and change color, and clarity will get worse, rendering "matching" not so possible. The other cheap option would just be complete removal, but Florida and UV rays on your nice interior and skin... yeah I prefer tint, even if light. Glad I found this, rad work!
Great restoration effort. I can see why you decided to keep the car. A salute.
Missed the flipping series keep it up 🔥💯
I absolutely love these videos. Straight to the point, super informative, well edited and an absolute joy to watch. Thanks for all the info you've provided for free, you deserve at least a million more subs if you ask me! Also I guess I'm that lone idiot who still looks for used cars on his computer lol
These videos are addicting 😁
Keep going Buddy! Great example for your generation of how a hard working, young entreprenuer guy is doing awesome.
Do u not include the price of transferring title or did u not have to do tht cause if u transferred title at 12,500 it would cost like 750
Love your videos and motivation!!
I’m trying to do that for living too!!
I’m at my 6th car right now 🙏
i know nothing about repairing or flipping cars so i watched this to get the idea of how much money circulates from it, this video explained everything i was curious about! top of the line content
Hey Buddy I love these videos and how thorough and honest you are about the car flipping process. But you’ve never spoken about the DMV process regarding transfer of title and taxes/fees paid for buying these cars. This is a very important of this process isn’t it? I’d love to hear your advice on this as well
That was my same question. It probably varies state to state, but in Washington state you have 15 days to register the car or you start getting fined. At which point you have to pay sales tax on it, which if your intent is to turn around and flip it, you just lost 10% of the profits right there. In other words registering this BMW would cost $1250 in Washington state, before you could sell it.
There’s a limit on how many cars you can buy and sell without being a dealer as well. In Washington state I think it’s maybe four or five a year.
The person who saw the listing and later searching for it .. 👁👄👁
I tried this buddy and I totally got screwed spent $6,000 on a GMC Sierra 4 wheel drive thought I could flip it come to find out the guy I bought it from filled the entire frame up with fillafoam cans that foam stuff that hardens pretty quickly and then he painted it or Rusty color so when I checked the frame it looked absolutely fine until I started getting some work done to it and then I found out I got screwed I lost thousands of dollars so so pissed off.
lmao
Well it’s clearly your fault though, should’ve properly inspect it first
That’s the business. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose. Don’t play the game if you can’t afford it. Just buy a car at a dealer
I did I did a thorough inspection on it three times the guy was really smart at what he did he filled the entire frame up with fillafoam and then painted it like a rusty color the mechanical shop that told me this said this guy took a lot of time and energy and money to make it look perfect so he could get rid of it they almost didn't see it themselves and these are professionals
And I don't buy my vehicles at a s*** box dealer I buy them private sale this other vehicle I bought I bought it in a state that had no lemon law and I had no idea the state didn't have that so from now on I will not be buying any vehicles from that state be buying my vehicles from Massachusetts from now on where there's a 30-day lemon law if I would have bought that vehicle there I could have sued that son of a b****
M3 are just every car enthusiast weak spot, nice video😊
Great video! Do you have to pay sales tax on your purchase? (In Michigan I would have to pay 6%). Would you rec having a hoist to lift the car for brake, exhaust or any other under the car work ?
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever hoping to retire next year... Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.
@Amy Campbell little, not at all. After carefully watching my portfolio's performance, which has generated a staggering $473k in only the last two quarters, I now understand how experienced traders can generate such high returns from a market that to novices appears to provide little opportunity for profit. I have to admit that this was my most boldest decision/choice in recent times.
@@loretagurakuqi6950 In fact, I've been researching advisors lately because the market news I've been seeing hasn't been that positive. Who is directing you, exactly?
@@Trentkozman PATRICIA V VESELY is the advisor I'm in touch with. She works for Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated. and was recently featured on CNBC Television. §tocks, Forex,crypto... Etc.. My outcome is a result of her technique working for me. She offers points of entrance and exit for the securities I prioritize.
is no one gonna mention that he washed the paintwork with a broom ?
I seen them do that at auto dealerships.
He's going to sell it. He probably doesn't care.
Nope he's keeping it🤦🏿♂️. Okay okay okay.... no one is perfect. He's knows more than me, so I'm not judging.
It’s not a broom
It’s a soft bristle to cover large amounts of space on a car so you don’t waste time painfully doing it by hand
Also when you push a button it releases more shampoo and soap.
When the broom like thing it's correct used and not abused and clean it doesn't do scratches and sh*t like that
you nailed it right, from start to finish with all valuable tips, without make it long, just the useful points, right in the middle ...Thanks a lot man keep going you're the best really.
I knew who was finna keep it. Such a beautiful car
So happy for you to kept it, a really wise decision that i would also do, also amazed with your attetion to detail and dedication, congrats man!

I understand why you kept it, this piece of machinery is the epitope of beauty
Not to mention the great job you've done on it

Can't blame you for keeping that car. You did a great job on restoring it and making it look real good.

Loved the ending! The entire video I kept thinking that why don't you keep such a beautiful car to yourself !!
I am so glad that you kept it! What an amazing car and a good owner to have it! Good for you man!
Bro, I love watching your videos!
Flipping old cars has always been my dream. Thanks for making these videos 👍
I grew up in the car business. As my dad used to say "this ain't a museum". With the right buyer, I think you could bring rain with that BMW. I would love to see an update when you finally do sell it.
I have a 99 m3. I paid the same as you 12.5. I just picked up the hard top for it. They truly are fun cars to drive.
Love the editing style man. you put a lot of effort into the quality of work. both video and elbow grease. We all thank you for being alive.
You did an awesome job man!
BMW makes one of the coolest cars out there in my opinion, the BMW '90 designs looks timeless!
Anyways, keep on going, loved the video!
love this creator so humble and thoughtful, keep going my GUY!
