One thing is clear…you are pushing to become a full time RUclipsr. Good for you! This is the way. No matter how often this has been done already, there is millions of us who want to see this over and over again on as many cars as possible…why? Cause we never will do it ourselves but dream of doing it, so you keep our dreams alive 😅🎉
The VIN Numbers are stamped into the back sides of those engines on the head as well as a couple other places, you should check and see if they match up or if buddy did the classic New York bait and switch on ya. Either way I look forward to seeing more videos on this thing!
bro he blew up the engine so he didn’t have warranty for the engine to get it repaired so he didn’t an insurance scam and rammed it with another car before insurance picked up the car he took all the goodies out lmao
hole in the block? dude definitely swapped out the engine and trans before giving it to the insurance. Explains why the trans shifter is not connected and most of the front end is missing.
I really like your new project as well as the work you have done so far. I started watching your channel in the early 996 days. You put a lot of effort into the filming and editing, no swelled head, and I hope you become as big as Mat and Tavarish. The multiple Matts was a hoot.
Probably one of the biggest reasons I found this channel is Porsche and BMW and now seeing one of these M3s I almost bought when I got my 991.2 911 very much looking forward to the build on this great choice.
I had a techno g80 xdrive comp in the garage for a few days for work and I turned everything off exactly once and said "Yup, now I know why so many of these are on copart". It's so much more car than anyone needs. Excellent daily.
Just 2 more m3s and the collection is complete! You and Chris Sullivan I think are the best up and coming automotive youtubers. You deserve so many more followers. They’re coming soon!
Always funny to see how much of a difference a little battery can make on newer cars. Will be interesting to follow this rebuild! I'm rooting for you, you can do this!
Commenting because I enjoy your content - and so you can do it full time! You have life by the horns, you should enjoy it (and make great videos for the rest of us)!!
Looks like it’ll be an awesome build and can’t wait to see the progress! If you go full time with doing RUclips it’ll be nice to hopefully get more frequent videos. Keep up the great work
Nice looking car.. can’t wait to see this build progress. Keep it up, I like how you just give stuff a go and make mistakes.. but ultimately learn from them. You and Matt Armstrong are my favourite car channels. I hope you get to do it full time soon. 👍
Looks like it had a single turbo to get the milage hit the options button then at the top you can use the mpg page, set it to factory and it should display the milage without the stalk, also since it's tuned make 100% sure not to use the remote software upgrade as that will relock the ECU, good luck with the build!
This will be a next level build for your channel and I am stoked to see your G80 M3 come back to life! Just let me know if you need someone to babysit your 997 so you can have more room in the garage. Hey, just trying to help! 😀
Love the car!!! Not sure why you need it but, you have my full support! 😂😂😂 been a long time since I commented but I finally have the LS mockup in the e36...trying to decide if I'm going to use the Corvette ECU and wiring since it came with the motor...keep up the awesome work!!!!
The white e30 gotta go... I love E30s as an owner myself but the white e30 is redundant with the M3 being around. Lots of projects and I think the driveway space is more beneficial. Rather see that time and effort in other projects. Super excited for this build!!
Matt, with all of your projects and vehicles, you really need to upgrade your garage square footage. More room would be a game changer! Keep up the great work.
Nice project and looking forward to seeing how you go.... Nothing special but just put the N52 back into my BMW 323i... Not the only BMW I have, she is just my day-to-day runner, and the first BMW I ever brought to fix. As she is a 2008 and not had a big rework in a few years I thought I may as well do the works and get her nice for a few more. Anway I would like a G80 but I have two others that I need to finish first and the wife's SLK 320 Merc needs some attention again.
Damn what an epic spec. G80’s are such badass cars. I think they’re better with the auto though and I’m definitely a “save the manuals” type of person. Good thing though is that the manual g80 is pretty effort-less to drive, which is desirable for a daily. Sad the yellow Porsche left but this is a nice yellow car replacement!
Man I love what you're doing, just digging deeper and deeper holes for yourself 🤣🤣 Keep up the good work bro, you inspire me to have a garage of my own in the future. Maybe not quite so many cars in mine...
When you said you gotta move a few cars to make space it reminded me of a movie made in Australia called The Castle where they gotta move 4 cars to get to one car haha, whole scene about it
LOVE your Content, LOVE BMW‘s and you are such a refreshing guy Matt!! Hope you can do that in Fulltime soon i‘m pumped for more Videos! Greets from Munich ✌🏻
Goodness, great spec but man, the engine missing the accessories would have scared me away. props to you for willing to do the job that many of us wont! Looking forward to watching this series.
Kind of the same thing I did. I owned many BMW models until I got into Mercedes then Audi cars. Have owned a Alfa Romeo 164LS. Fiat Spider 124 and an MGB-GT, but ultimately always like German cars better. Have repaired an older 911 and Boxster before but have yet to own one. Still trying to sort out my friends 94 Porsche 968 (with supercharger) engine noise.
Matt you should invest in the go Jack's dollies. Will make moving the cars around a helll of a lot easier. The bigger the caster the better it will roll.
No no, my man, WE are the ones who want to have you doing this full time please and thank you! BTW, I'm afraid the engine is not original with the car. Fishy move was done there with the previous owner. That people should be accountable for this scams.
This video is 🔥. Love the quality…the framing of the shots, the editing….🤘🏽 now finish these projects! Also, got a peep of those ugly ass truck wheels again 😂.
matt there will be a pyro fuse on the battery terminal it will have to be replaced before you can start it obviously with a new motor cheers from down under

"selling cars cause i dont have enough place" buys an new car instantly
To be fair, I got rid of two to get one new one.
"selling cars cause i dont have enough place, for another one"**
Perfectly fair and makes sense to me :D
@@matt13rossThat’s what she said
Start building a extra garage in front of your current
enough space for more cars***
One thing is clear…you are pushing to become a full time RUclipsr. Good for you! This is the way.

Thanks so much! It’s my dream to do this everyday! With a bigger garage of course lol
The VIN Numbers are stamped into the back sides of those engines on the head as well as a couple other places, you should check and see if they match up or if buddy did the classic New York bait and switch on ya. Either way I look forward to seeing more videos on this thing!
I will never buy a car from New York its just so full of scammers and trashed cars.
I have heard of a guy that threw a 350z motor in a GTR before the insurance company took the car and yes it was in NY.
bro he blew up the engine so he didn’t have warranty for the engine to get it repaired so he didn’t an insurance scam and rammed it with another car before insurance picked up the car he took all the goodies out lmao
100%
Ding ding ding 😂
hole in the block? dude definitely swapped out the engine and trans before giving it to the insurance. Explains why the trans shifter is not connected and most of the front end is missing.
I didn't think about that until a few of you commented. Good point!
yeah and the original owner probably stopped replying because he thought matt was a fed
your are tripping
@@matt13ross probably exactly what happened, the engine was swapped before it went to auction.. that's a nice problem to fix.
@@matt13rossbmw should be able to tell u if this engine came with this car.
I really like your new project as well as the work you have done so far. I started watching your channel in the early 996 days. You put a lot of effort into the filming and editing, no swelled head, and I hope you become as big as Mat and Tavarish. The multiple Matts was a hoot.
I hope I get 1/4 there lol. Thank you!
What a car! Look forward to seeing it being built up again - best of luck.
Probably one of the biggest reasons I found this channel is Porsche and BMW and now seeing one of these M3s I almost bought when I got my 991.2 911 very much looking forward to the build on this great choice.
Love the M3! Can’t wait to see more episodes restoring it. It’s going to be a great series!!
I had a techno g80 xdrive comp in the garage for a few days for work and I turned everything off exactly once and said "Yup, now I know why so many of these are on copart". It's so much more car than anyone needs. Excellent daily.
Just 2 more m3s and the collection is complete! You and Chris Sullivan I think are the best up and coming automotive youtubers. You deserve so many more followers. They’re coming soon!
I agree, Chris Sullivan's channel is the American Muscle version of Matt Ross, just Matt builds the European Cars.
Thanks so much! I want some corvettes added to my collection eventually.
In my opinion, I believe they replaced the engine and transmission because leaving the car without the battery could indicate that’s what happened.
Awesome project! Loving the efforts to grow the channel. All the best with the build and enjoy🎉
Always funny to see how much of a difference a little battery can make on newer cars. Will be interesting to follow this rebuild! I'm rooting for you, you can do this!
You made so much progress!!! This is gonna be an awesome build!!!!!!!!!!
love new car man, good luck and have fun restoring it!
WOW! Absolutely gorgeous! Can’t wait to see you tune this BEAST!
Never buy a car from NY .. they took that car’s engine and replaced with a blown one , you bought a Salvage Lemon salvage theft lemon 😅
yup.
Makes for good RUclips content
Maaaaaan. Sooo hyped for this project!
Keep it up boss. Excited to see what happens when you go full time🎉
Great project man !!!!!!! I´m looking forward to see it running already !!!!!
Good luck with the new project, I can't wait to see what how it turns out.
I love these types of videos Matt. Any rebuilds/copart etc. let’s f’n goooo
Excited to see this project!
A new project!!! Woohoo!!! Looks like a fun one Matt!!!
This car is sick! Cant wait to see how it goes for you!
love the videos, seeing the 997 was sick. excited to see the g80 come to life.
Commenting because I enjoy your content - and so you can do it full time! You have life by the horns, you should enjoy it (and make great videos for the rest of us)!!
Looks like it’ll be an awesome build and can’t wait to see the progress!
If you go full time with doing RUclips it’ll be nice to hopefully get more frequent videos.
Keep up the great work
That's the plan!
You are a legend for taking on a project of this caliber. Also, bringing us along for the ride is pretty sweet.
Thanks! I'm pretty excited about it.
Awesome project! Will be following along
Nice looking car.. can’t wait to see this build progress. Keep it up, I like how you just give stuff a go and make mistakes.. but ultimately learn from them. You and Matt Armstrong are my favourite car channels. I hope you get to do it full time soon. 👍
I’m messing up all the time and constantly learning!
I'm stoked. Next to the 997, this is going to be my favorite build.
Looks like it had a single turbo to get the milage hit the options button then at the top you can use the mpg page, set it to factory and it should display the milage without the stalk, also since it's tuned make 100% sure not to use the remote software upgrade as that will relock the ECU, good luck with the build!
Can't wait to see what you do with it!
Nice one matt! Can't wait to see the progress 😁
Excited to follow the new build.
Excited for a full BMW build! This is gonna be a great purchase, I can feel it!
This channel is AWESOME
Nice! Excited for this build. Give that auto delivery guy a fat tip. 👍🏼
props if you get this all back together bro, someone made sure this thing was totaled to the point of no return.
Absolutely pumped for this build, love the Beamer content
good luck with the new project!
That’s an incredible car matt ! Bet you can’t wait 😊 awesome interior
Really looking forward to this build. Really hope you get to go full time buddy 👍
This will be a next level build for your channel and I am stoked to see your G80 M3 come back to life! Just let me know if you need someone to babysit your 997 so you can have more room in the garage. Hey, just trying to help! 😀
Ahahaha
Definitely noticed a improvement on the editing, good stuff my guy
hello Matt Ross good video keep up the good work i am ekcited to see the project
Love the car!!! Not sure why you need it but, you have my full support! 😂😂😂 been a long time since I commented but I finally have the LS mockup in the e36...trying to decide if I'm going to use the Corvette ECU and wiring since it came with the motor...keep up the awesome work!!!!
Thank you! And I think Holly Terminator is the way to go!!
The white e30 gotta go... I love E30s as an owner myself but the white e30 is redundant with the M3 being around. Lots of projects and I think the driveway space is more beneficial. Rather see that time and effort in other projects.
Super excited for this build!!

Happy new year Matt 😊 what a great new project for early 2025 👍
Well my friend …. I’m proud of you. 👍. Great job and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing the progress on your new project.
Matt, with all of your projects and vehicles, you really need to upgrade your garage square footage. More room would be a game changer! Keep up the great work.

Congratz👍😎Love the color combo on the G80👍😎
Such an awesome spec on this G80, too bad it was crashed..Good luck with it, let’s go💪🏻💪🏻
YESSSSS YESSSSS YESSSSSSSSS BROTHERRRR THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT! LOVE IT ❤
Good luck on the build and I hope you can do RUclips full time very soon!
This is going to be a great build!
You’re doin great man

You definitely have your hands full but it’s a beauty. Looking forward to seeing it fixed to its completion. 😊
Love all of the Bimmer content.
Yass! Loving this already!
Also, random question - Matt, are you prior service? If so, what branch, MOS/AFSC, etc?
Nope no prior service
@matt13ross well sir, I love your channel, been following for a while now. No gimmicks, no fluff, just good solid gear head dedication. 😁
Thank you!
I hope you can soon do this stuff full-time, would be awsome man.
Man I love what you're doing, just digging deeper and deeper holes for yourself 🤣🤣
Keep up the good work bro, you inspire me to have a garage of my own in the future. Maybe not quite so many cars in mine...
I’m in a huge BMW hole for sure lol.
Let’s gooo. Ready for 40min- 1 hour vids on this for sure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh boy I’m not there yet lol
When you said you gotta move a few cars to make space it reminded me of a movie made in Australia called The Castle where they gotta move 4 cars to get to one car haha, whole scene about it
Good luck with this one. BMW is where it’s at bruh!
dude, that interior is so sweeeet
Awesome, matches my e36 m3! My favorite color they have ever done.
Looking forward to the build,
LOVE your Content, LOVE BMW‘s and you are such a refreshing guy Matt!! Hope you can do that in Fulltime soon i‘m pumped for more Videos!
Greets from Munich ✌🏻
Thanks so much!
B58 bottomend + S58 head = happiness!
Do it! B58 can handle a little bit more punishment!
To get to the mileage you need a working stalk with a BC button or you can find it in iDrive under trip settings.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I burst out laughing when you connected the battery and that little explosion was so unexpected! Great 👍🏿 content keep it up! Much love man!
Glad you liked it!!!
Goodness, great spec but man, the engine missing the accessories would have scared me away. props to you for willing to do the job that many of us wont! Looking forward to watching this series.
Planning on getting a complete engine
Matt...does anyone at work watch these videos?...looking forward to the new build, keep up the great work.
Hopefully they do!
Looking forward to this going back together

Matt you should invest in the go Jack's dollies. Will make moving the cars around a helll of a lot easier. The bigger the caster the better it will roll.
was gonna say this or even upgrade to the new Daytona dollies with the new wheels
@Neildm22 they would be a cheaper option for sure to keep the budget for the car on track. As long as the casters are a good size, they will work.
Matt Ross i love your New Yellow BMW M3 G80 4 Doors Car need do mods to it man I am your Big Fan of you Bros
Nice choice. Looks like you'll be working on this one for a while.
Keep up the good work
No no, my man, WE are the ones who want to have you doing this full time please and thank you! BTW, I'm afraid the engine is not original with the car. Fishy move was done there with the previous owner. That people should be accountable for this scams.
i followed you on 2 of my accounts. I love youtube channels like yours. Looking forward to seeing this G80 driving!
I appreciate the support, and I'm looking forward to building this one up!
This video is 🔥. Love the quality…the framing of the shots, the editing….🤘🏽 now finish these projects! Also, got a peep of those ugly ass truck wheels again 😂.
Thanks so much (minus truck wheels lol)
Liking the content bro
You got this man
Bmw for the win, love it
