Fair to say Taylor has taken to this RUclips lark quite well. Sure I remember him saying, before he met Alex in one of the early videos, he'd never been on camera. Seems very natural
That is a gorgeous colour, and the grey interior does off-set it nicely (Like Taylor, I don't normally like grey interiors). And that engine bay is immaculate. You can tell this car has been the previous owners absolute pride and joy.
8:31 What I really love about Taylor is he knows what he's talking about, comparing that shifter to a bolt action rifle perfectly sums it up. That's like how Clarkson describing things on a car, very well said!
To be fair, that’s how every person that fits a short-shift to any car describes the action of the gear level. Even if they’ve never seen a rifle in their life.
Once again Taylor has shown us his potential in this, as a relative newbie to the cartube scene he's FKIN ace in front of the camera! No gimmicks, or shouting, just a genuinely nice bloke who's passionate about what he loves, bravo Taylor
i cant wait to see this build ! ive always wanted to V8 swap an E46 touring, and im the same as you Taylor ive always got back into the 46 model, ive just brought my first 46 convertible and im in love once again !!
Honestly Taylor, your such an incredibly natural person on camera, add to this being so incredibly knowledgeable on cars, let alone BMW's topped up by your passion, you are a legend. How great it has been that Alex stumbled across you. You all are my Top Gear now, I don't think I could complement you more than that.
Love a Taylor episide. Alex, Rory, Taylor and Jooosshhhieeee, are the perfect car show hosts. Alex being ’The old one', Rory the mis-guided young guy, Taylor the funny knowlegelable guy, and Jooossshhiiee being the hardcore spanners guy. Briliant. Thanks for making such great content guys, thoroughly enjoy every episode and appreciate all the hard work you all put in to the Auto Alex brand. Legends 😎.
Got to meet Taylor yesterday at Drivetribe with my son. What a top fella he is 😍 the Autoalex team are amazing and I'm not sure where I'd be without your videos and podcast. You guys can just make my day every time I watch or listen to you all. Thank you so much.
Huggins Racing sell a set of 3D printed plugs for the roof rail trims. Fit pretty nice. I'm just in the process of properly gluing them in and will repaint them. Probably the easiest solution out there.
It’s so nice to see you doing individual content along side the main channel, you are great in front of the camera and so entertaining! Amazing Taylor!
Taylor's like a seasoned RUclips veteran now really enjoy watching his enthusiasm and love and knowledge of cars (mainly bmw) for him loving the V2 Taylor channel
Nice ride and good that you'll keep it. I was a bit sad that the Alpina went away cause that looked like the ultimate E46 but I'm glad it went to someone that will cheerish it and drive it. Plus I'm glad that the one your friend had its in your hands now, that you'd like to keep it.
OH MY Taylor! I love it! ❤❤❤ I can’t wait to see it after you finish it. Please please please share the video! You guys are the best online! Thanks to you, my bucket list move is to the UK because of you guys!!!!
Another great video from Taylor. He has became a great presentor and this is his channel. 😊 Out of the trio he is most loved by my three daughters. They cant wait to watch anything new from him. Hello from slovenia 🇸🇮
It’s really interesting to see this E46. I have actually only ever driven two E46s, and the one I drove last week was my BMW mechanics E46 touring, albeit totally standard and with a 6cyl (not even sure which engine it was). He lent it to me while my E90 323i was having a service. As much as I like my E90, I must admit i could happily enjoy a E46 touring but especially a manual one. Alas out here in Oz they are pretty uncommon as most E46s came as autos and by now most E46s have pretty high Kms on them. Personally, I don’t like V8s whereas the sound and feel of the BMW 6cyl is so good. So if your car was mine, all I would be doing is improving the exhaust and induction sound of the car.
Would love to have a V8 soundtrack to that thing but there is no way your putting in a 440ish lbs engine to replace a 270ish lbs one without badly affecting the handling. I think thats before accessories, clutch flywheel and gearbox too, all of which will be heavier. You could push the engine way back to keep the balance roughly the same but you'd have to cut it up some and it will always ride like you have a pretty chunky buddy sat beside you Lighter option needed if you want to keep it handling anything like it does now
I'm thinking the same. The extra weight and the shifted weightdistribution will have a negative impact on the handling and feel of the car. Not sure the V8- soundtrack is worth it... Why not just re- map it to make it more responsive and put on a really nice exhaust?
@5:24 to 5:38. amazing bit of cinematography. The production value of the four channels under Alex's umbrella is going from strength to strength. But where has the van challenge gone?!!
@@BigGibril all the gear and top dead centre are both backed (in some sense) by alex. Basically all the best of carthrottle spread over four channels with the addition of Taylor, Rory, Will and jooshy (and others).
I will give Taylor credit that I do love his videos on his cars, especially being so honest in his previous ownership with cars, of course his experience doing up cars too. I am super excited to see how this V8 Project goes. :D
There should be side channels like this for each one for personal projects and the main channel be for the collaboration of all for challenges and road trips. Each one has been an awesome influence in the auto world. Looking forward to every adventure they have.
I see what you mean about returning to an E46 constantly and wanting one as your forever car, in my case it's the E36 though, out of all the cars Ive had over the 10 years or so that Ive been driving, the E36 is what I keep coming back to. They never fail to make me happy when I drive them. I had an E46 once, it was a great car but the electronic throttle lag was enough to turn me off of them, blipping the throttle on a downshift in an E36 is just so much snappier and more responsive because the throttle is a mechanical cable.
Slept in my e39 at Donington Park recently, proper airbed and blacked out the windows with reflective sheets cut to size - unbelievably quiet and comfortable!
N62 with e53 wiringloom/ecu Ews combo and e65/e60 sump, and you have 80hp more then m62 and if the engine is out it's easy to sort the n62 weak points, so new valvestem seals and rest of the seals and you have a fast car
I've said before and I'll say it again, I love how this channel is basically Wheeler Dealers while the main channel is a bit more Top Gear. It's a perfect mix.
The Racing Dynamics wheels are amazing. Taylor, you are such a true petrol head. How you talk about and treat your cars, is great. I had to get used to you in the first episode you appeared in, but I think you should get your own channel ;)
Had my e91 touring stage 2 for 2yrs now and only had a rear wheel speed sensor to replace! And I drive it hard... way way better than my previous AMG that cost thousands just to keep it running!!!!
My 330d Touring is currently getting its subframe reinforced. Also I did a roof rail delete, there’s a 3D printed kit that you can get from America that fills the gaps left when taking the rails off.
I’m with you. Something about the e46. I’ve had 4 e46s…been in an e92 330d for nearly a year. Whilst I do like the car a lot, it’s missing something that my previous e46s had
On your own Taylor I adore you. You clearly know your shit. Alex ruins and cuts off what you're going to do or say. Yet you're on his V2 Channel. Break out, so you're own...
Mmm, lovely colour!! Not sure about the wheels but that V8 will make it a right goer!!!! Try a Torsen style diff in the 188K housing and probably be cheaper than an M3 and be nicer.
lol i'm currently putting a M62B44 Non TU engine in a Z4. I'm almost at a point where I can do my first start following the oil pump mod so fingers crossed. Assuming you're going to buy the conversion kit from Adamat? It's quite a straight forward swap, especially for someone of your mechanical ability. I'm sure you dont need it but drop me a message if you've got any questions. Looking forward to this one. 👍
I wouldnt change the exterior personally, it just looks really good as is a not massive aero not bone stock. A nice inbetween and very clean. Even the chrome kidney grills suit it somehow
Taylor, I'd say do your research regarding the M62, I planned on doing a similar swap on my e36 and remember changing plans because I would have had to add a bunch of bump steer to it since the steering rack would have had to be relocated. It has however been a while since I read that, but I bet you know someone who might have a v8 e36/e46 (are quite similar anyways) to test drive before actually going through with this plan Either way, wish you the best with that car, sure seems like a keeper!
No it doesn't. Don't share misinformation. My mate built a rhd e36 with a m62, all he did was modify the exhaust manifolds and make a custom steering joint and fabricate his own engine mounts, it runs a zf 5 speed from a 328 with an adapter plate, the rack hasn't been moved and it handles amazing as both a fast road car and his drift car for track days. I suggest you find someone who has done it properly and replicate that.
The kidney grilles 🤣 Love it. My E46 Touring is the reason I got into cars in the first place. So easy to work on, so many resources online for info and parts, great to drive and super practical too. Looking forward to seeing a V8 lump go in!
Taylor.... The purple tag rack is not the quickest rack available and its also prone to wear and subsequently spewing its oil out. The best rack to get is the Z3 rack (Silver tag), IIRC it's even a quicker ratio than the E46 M3 setup equates too. Its a seriously nice rack and I recommend the upgrade while your at it! Its a bolt on fit minus the dust boot. :P
Another great vid thanks Taylor and that's a cracking looking car. Love the colour, although I an with you, never liked grey leather, tan colour for me all day long!
Taylor honestly needs to start his own channel. Rory could help with the editing and such but he really needs to start his own channel now. Auto alex should be for pod casts etc or minor updates that aren't worthy of the main channel. Common Taylor, let's make it happen!
Bmw streering racks I believe this correct been awhile since looked as I changed my yellow tag rack to purple tag on a e46 330d and improved drive fair bit. 1. Yellow tag rack slowest (3 turns lock to lock) normally on base models. 2. Purple tag rack medium ( 2.5 turns lock to lock) normally on m sports 3. Green tag rack (believe 2 turns lock to lock) fitted to M powered
You got to love a touring, I have 2 e46 tourings both 328i, one manual and one automatic, one black and one what they call ocean green(rare colour also) love the channel.
You need to change this channel name from v2 to Taylor Made Cars and also love how taylor does these reviews sounds like a good old Fifth gear review and I love it, keep it up mate always excellent
I would love a v3 channel that's just a daily vlog of what's happening with stuff. These 2 channels have so many moving parts and ongoing cars it would be a good way to keep aware of it all.
Re the noise, take the side cubby access panel thing off inside the boot on the exhaust side and leave it off. (I think it’s where the jack lives?) This lets raspy exhaust noises into the cabin.
I still recall my E46 coupe fondly; such a great all-rounder, it did everything really well. Not sure if putting a V8 in it would upset the delicate balance, but then I had an M52 rather than that car’s 4-cyl.

Taylor’s channel now
Alex is smart...
Don't mind that one bit to be honest😂
Fair to say Taylor has taken to this RUclips lark quite well. Sure I remember him saying, before he met Alex in one of the early videos, he'd never been on camera. Seems very natural
As it should be
And we love it 😻
Petition to re-name this channel to Taylor’s Tat and make a separate AA Podcast channel
Taylor Tat 👌
Why. Its all good the way it is.
If Taylor broke away from annoying 40 year old teenager he'd take all the viewers
He used to have his own channel called Taylor Made Cars, seems to have disappeared, or got renamed to this one?
AutoTaylor
What a genuinely refreshing episode. No screaming and shouting, no crap, just a man and his passion. Nice one Taylor.
Whoever is behind the camera is absolutely loving trolling Taylor with that roof dent 😂
I do hope its gonna get fixed.. or any other dents or scratches :( cuz the car otherwise looks hella fine. Fingers crossed
Flying beer bottle that missed the window. Because everyone knows BMW means Break My Windows.
At 6:57 "You're never straight in a V8" Rolling on the floor !!🤣🤣🤣
Glad to see you doing well on the Taylor mk2 channel
Definitely should be 'mk2' not 'v2' !
Do you think Taylor put the the money in ?
Leave the 318i badge on the back. Confuse the feck out of boy racers😂😂😂

No pissing about, just pure car content. It's good to see.
Stealth V8! Leave as is whack the V8 in it and keep it as a show sleeper
I love a sleeper estate, quality
@@chrishoward1983able this is what I’m saying! Sleeping estate that’s just modified enough to peak interest and respect but also slaps!
Yeah definitely agree, the 318 badges and the stock exhaust make it so much cooler

Taylor has such an amazing personality
He acting little bit gay
@dennisgypsy3096 you're not going to believe this...
Bro who told you that he is? I'm seeing people commenting that a lot
Bullshit
Yes he has charisma but in a genuine way

Why the "Joooosshhhieeee"
I think you should put the roof rails back on it! It's such a beautiful car and with rails and a V8, one hell of a sleeper.
Good plan. And possibly easier to find
Love an E46 touring, my 330i touring manual is on 248k miles now, 12 years of ownership and i still love it.
Alex and Taylor are naturals infront of the camera and have great chemistry when they are together. Csnt think of a better combo.

Hello from slovenia 🇸🇮
I could watch you all day you have this calming voice.
The main channel is good for dumb entertaining content. But I love watching Taylor on the V2 channel. So pleasant and informational.

Sorry but i prefer Taylor over Alex, Taylor is such a relaxing person and his voice is calming to listen to.
Alex is always 110% energy. Isnt bad or anything and quite nice too, but the relaxing vibe of Taylor is really nice as well
only like taylor when he is alone otherwise he gets annoying
@@saltylelele But Alex edits his voice overs with way too much bass.
Lol climb out the cotton wool you tit about such a calming voice 😂😂😂
You don't have to pick.
words can't say much I love Taylor, so glad he is taking over the auto alex V2 channel😊
I have an E46 318 with a 540i V8 in it. If you need any specs dimensions, etc. Just let me know, happy to help! Based in Lincolnshire.
Would love to have a V8 soundtrack to that thing but there is no way your putting in a 440ish lbs engine to replace a 270ish lbs one without badly affecting the handling.

Why not just re- map it to make it more responsive and put on a really nice exhaust?
It's a road car that's never going to get pushed to limit so all that's irrelevant.
“You’re never straight, in a V8”. So right, both literally and metaphorically, Taylor!
I love the out and proud attitude of this channel. Happy pride month.

I’d love to see an homage to the old BMW nomenclature and see someone do up a 344 badge for the boot lid. Great video Taylor!
I really enjoy your videos Taylor, you're so easy to watch, its like I'm in the car with you.
Slept in my e39 at Donington Park recently, proper airbed and blacked out the windows with reflective sheets cut to size - unbelievably quiet and comfortable!
Classy car. Wheelbase and underpinnings are the same as the sedan and coupe. Perfect blend of performance and practicality.
N62 with e53 wiringloom/ecu Ews combo and e65/e60 sump, and you have 80hp more then m62 and if the engine is out it's easy to sort the n62 weak points, so new valvestem seals and rest of the seals and you have a fast car
I've said before and I'll say it again, I love how this channel is basically Wheeler Dealers while the main channel is a bit more Top Gear. It's a perfect mix.
The Racing Dynamics wheels are amazing. Taylor, you are such a true petrol head. How you talk about and treat your cars, is great. I had to get used to you in the first episode you appeared in, but I think you should get your own channel ;)
Had my e91 touring stage 2 for 2yrs now and only had a rear wheel speed sensor to replace! And I drive it hard... way way better than my previous AMG that cost thousands just to keep it running!!!!
My 330d Touring is currently getting its subframe reinforced. Also I did a roof rail delete, there’s a 3D printed kit that you can get from America that fills the gaps left when taking the rails off.
Fantastic content, great car. The E46 Made me actually like german cars, owning one myself. I don't regret it one bit ❤
WOW! I'm in love with this touring, I've got the same AC Schnitzer bits on my 328i coupe, can't wait to see whats the plan for the future :)

Fantastic looking car - I love a 3 series touring (own a ratty old E91 Touring myself) and this E46 is class. Should be awesome with the coming V8!
Definitely keep it how it is, nice sleeper. Just take any imperfections out like dents scraches. Give a nice polish 🫶
I wouldnt change the exterior personally, it just looks really good as is a not massive aero not bone stock. A nice inbetween and very clean. Even the chrome kidney grills suit it somehow

They are brilliant, loved my topaz blue 2.5 se , mv2s , fond memories ❤❤❤
About the exhaust. FSW Tuning in Austria has REMUS-Sebring make them a very nice very affordable stainless exhaust for 2.8L and 323 engines.
Taylor.... The purple tag rack is not the quickest rack available and its also prone to wear and subsequently spewing its oil out.

It looks beautiful I hope everything works out! 💪🏻
I have an e46 328i touring with an original Manual. That does have rust… This one looks lovely!
Taylor i agree about changing the drip rail ut i wouldn't put carbon ones on 7nless you intend to add more carbon than just that
Very nice. Keep it standard looking but defo update brakes, shocks and anti roll bars. Probably need an X5 rear axle?
Another great vid thanks Taylor and that's a cracking looking car. Love the colour, although I an with you, never liked grey leather, tan colour for me all day long!

Taylor is the best of the 3. Amazing personality.
Bmw streering racks I believe this correct been awhile since looked as I changed my yellow tag rack to purple tag on a e46 330d and improved drive fair bit.
1. Yellow tag rack slowest (3 turns lock to lock) normally on base models.
2. Purple tag rack medium ( 2.5 turns lock to lock) normally on m sports
3. Green tag rack (believe 2 turns lock to lock) fitted to M powered
Keep the look as is, just looks so clean with the AC Schnitzer bodykit and those rims
I love the styling on this one, so period correct it looks like it's straight out of a magazine accesories advert
So much cool stuff from the auto alex fleet lately, love it!!
You got to love a touring, I have 2 e46 tourings both 328i, one manual and one automatic, one black and one what they call ocean green(rare colour also) love the channel.
I love E46, I went back to it aswell, I did notice some projectors in yours but no headlight washers, might as well complete the retrofit
You need to change this channel name from v2 to Taylor Made Cars and also love how taylor does these reviews sounds like a good old Fifth gear review and I love it, keep it up mate always excellent
Love the look of this car and what being planned for it and i love ya t-shirt too lol
I would love a v3 channel that's just a daily vlog of what's happening with stuff. These 2 channels have so many moving parts and ongoing cars it would be a good way to keep aware of it all.
Re the noise, take the side cubby access panel thing off inside the boot on the exhaust side and leave it off.

I still recall my E46 coupe fondly; such a great all-rounder, it did everything really well. Not sure if putting a V8 in it would upset the delicate balance, but then I had an M52 rather than that car’s 4-cyl.
Great video Taylor, thanks for sharing
Not normally a big fan of red cars, but this looks really smart. Keep the aesthetics as is and just add the performance mods 👍
I always know this touring e46 for following old owner on Instagram and love all step this pass to!
I'm glad Taylor stayed as the new owner!
Love it to bits! Your a lucky man tak care of yourself and the bmw 😊
That’s a very very smart looking car Taylor and with the V8 installed and a stainless exhaust it’ll sound as good as it looks 🏴👍🏻
Strengthen over rear axle (floor pan area) e63 amg. Discs etc 😊
Taylor I would keep its styling as it is, but definitely go with the m62, I had a Ferngreen 328ci manual and I loved it
I’m sure the wheels are rare, valuable, sought after, lightweight, etc, but for me they look Halfords.
Plot twist… Taylor also owns the plane in the background? 🙃
Yeah, who cars about the Beemer, show us the plane, Taylor! 😀
Future resto
