Today's BMW models will not last as many years as 2002. I owned 316 in 1995. At present 318 E 46. It's great that you have launched such a beautiful classic with your soul. Greetings from Poland. You are awesome :)
When I see those round tailights, I woukd normally associate it with a 67 or 69 model 2002, the 73 till76 or 77 model had the square tailights, it looks good, nice to see annother classic on the road again.
Ahh, the good old days, when you could work on a BMW without first removing a bunch of extra stuff, using a basic set of hand tools from the hardware store.
This is why some older cars need premium fuel. They form excessive amounts of carbon and start dieseling. Heard carbon buildup was such a big issue back it the 70s and 80s for BMW, they made a special sand blasting tool to blast crushed walnut through the head to avoid a teardown. Whatever crushed walnut left in the cylinder would be harmlessly burned up after starting. That's what I was told by a man that serviced them about 40 years ago.
Actually, pouring water down the intake was the service secret sauce. Advanced users would route a window washer line into the intake, hit the freeway, and apply water/alochol mixture 50/50.
@giberish9 The walnut blasting fact is definitely true, i've heard the same thing. Funny enough this is an even bigger problem on the newer direct-inject turbocharged engines, even when run strictly on premium gas/pretrol. The n54 motors are getting to the mileage where they have enough build up in the intake valves/ports to cause a performance issue, in which the cars no longer have 'the same pep'. Many owners of turbo e90 are having their intake valves/ports cleaned this way. Its also only a temporary fix, as the problem is inherent in the design. Some are reporting this problem at 100,000 miles or even less!
Also, at 9:30; it's called "dieseling" your engine is experiencing too much heat... Causing your gasoline engine to run (in reverse rotation) off of compression from the fumes leftover in the combustion chamber. No spark needed to run on compression, just like a diesel engine.
This car is remarkably clean for a car that stood for 16 years. I am starting to think this video is bullshit or it is a huge thumbs up for BMW build quality!!! Now is the time to shoe horn an E46 M3 engine under the hood and do a brake and suspension swop ...
I had a BMW 2002 in the late 1980`s as a winter car, to protect my 1976 Celica from ice and snow. This car was good fun, although no comfort,rel. high fuel consumption and loud....3000rpm@ 100km/h.......
I put a five speed into mine and it gets 30 mpg at 70 mph on premium gasoline. Will do a hundred in 3rd and the engine is modified with a reground cam shaft.
I had that same year 2002 in the same Malaga red paint. Was rolled by a drug dealer and got it at auction for $900 in 1983. Had a Weber and that same air cleaner. Fun cars but don't miss it one bit.
Wow. I heard those cars had major issues with carbon buildup on the valves, but never knew it could diesel that bad because of it. Still impressive. Trying to remember if the carbon issue was worse on the 2002TII
Yea that was a shock for us as well haha. Now that we are further in the project I think this was because of the carburetor that kept supplying the fuel. Btw you have a sweet Z. I just actually watched your video on repairing the dash. I think we will need to do that eventually as well. We have a few cracks in it.
Engine looks fairly "fresh", or at least the head. I would do a compression check on this, could be that it has higher compression internals and a stock cam. All this and low octane (old?) gas will make it diesel. Normal m10 will push 140-180psi.
They less the better. There is a lot of damage you can do to an engine due to uncontrolled combustion, very much like the run-on dieseling after they turned it off.
when starting a car that hasn't been running in years spray oil in the cylinder , were the plug was ,let sit over night. also draine fuel tank ,new gas
Nate Delage Lol thanks man! It was a lot of fun! It could be two things. Either it was way too hot and causing the gas to combust by itself when the pistons go up. Or the timing is off and it's causing fuel to keep coming in at the wrong time. Something we definitely need to fix. 😂
The engine kept on running after you turn it of because it didn't run for long time. Thru the years dirt and carbon accumulated in the combustion chamber and this starts glowing and ignites the fuel mixture. I have worked a lot with old 02 bmw and had it happen to me too a few times. Nothing to worry about, this usually go's away after a long and sporty drive. Or you could lift the head and clean it. What I did notice is that under the head cover the engine looked really clean a good sign that the engine is really fresh. You have a really nice car here for restoration. And please don't do anything stupid with it like big fenders and spoilers. These cars look best all original with European bumpers and lowered 1 inch. And that type of engine is one of the most reliable engines of BMW it is so strong that BMW used this engine in there F1 cars in the 80's and squeezing 1500hp out of it. Good luck with the 2002!
Shafen Tahsin We bled them and that didn't do all that much. We ended up spraying penetrating fluid on the disks as we drove slowly and it freed them up. If you changed the calipers and lines, maybe it's an issue with the master cylinder? I plan to rebuild them or maybe get e21 calipers.
Do yours seize up after a bit of driving? Good way to check if the master cylinder needs work if they're sticking on once hot is to throw a bottle/bucket of cold water on the master cylinder and see if they un-stick. Worked well on my M535.
Best and safest to change wheel calipers, wheel cylinders and master cylinder at the same time when things are sticking. I did it all and it was the master cylinder. Make sure none of the steel lines have any kinks and that rubber types of lines have not swelled internally sealing of transfer of fluid. I've seen it all. Also make sure E-brake is releasing. I don't apply E-brake when vehicles are stored. They seem to always melt to the drum over extended periods of time. Bought my 1970 and power breaks did not work. Had the booster rebuilt and they still didn't work. One way valve in vacuum booster line had been reversed! Also open choke and butterfly valves all the way when spraying starter fluid into the engine before starting.
Wow, awesome video! Are you planning to make more videos about it? Loved the forest shots! Was that all shot in Oregon? I'd love to go for a drive there!
PNW Project Yes, all the shots were done across Oregon. It was an ongoing project, we took our time in traveling in need-be. As for forests, that's all 5-15min from my house; gorgeous scenery here! If you're ever in the area, we should definitely meet up and cruise!
if you try started the car with the first battery it would burn all the cables ,i had one stoped around twenty years ,and it started in the second turn of the engine

Thanks bro! Appreciate the support! Lots more to come on this project :)
i have 318i e46 too, very clumsy performance but m43tu very good durable engine and cheap to maintain.. greetings from indonesia
thats a valuable car and highly collectable. it was and is classic!
Is water blue also or was it the sky ?
probably the best BMW motor (M10). ... 470,000km and I'm still traveling!
I think we only have 50k on our motor
Incredibly clean engine inside!
too clean, made me think it's fake and that it has already been started before the video was made.
We think it was rebuilt before the guy put it in storage. or it actualy has 50k miles on it
God I want one of these! The coolest classic car to own by far!
Great job! Malaga is the best color for our cars. Awesome seeing other people making 2002 content. Hit me up if you ever want to go efi or turbo!
God those 2002's are such beautiful cars, at least in my opinion, i would so love to own one.
This is like watching a re-run of Dan Akroyd and Steve Martin's Wild and Crazy Guys! Loved it You guys a re crazy...without trying
I Love this video. I'm about to start my golf 2 first time in 7 years
When I see those round tailights, I woukd normally associate it with a 67 or 69 model 2002, the 73 till76 or 77 model had the square tailights, it looks good, nice to see annother classic on the road again.
Ahh, the good old days, when you could work on a BMW without first removing a bunch of extra stuff, using a basic set of hand tools from the hardware store.
jd rancho and not needing a levels of electronic to do something xd
Haha tell me about it I’m a tech for them! It’s crazy!!
My e36 is a 95, I just did a manual swap with hand tools from Harbor Freight

NOT quite right, we have to make sure it does not get into the cylinder by making sure the valves are closed.
Muy bueno
This old car has mind and feelings and lives by itself ;)
Great vid!
Nice way of handling a start up after so many years. Thanks!
Greetings from Belgium!
When the engine didnt stop, why dont u put it in gear and release the clutch?
because most of Americans just know automatic gear...lol.
It’s to easy
@@bombelo40390 yip!
In most people's minds they would expect the car to take off
or you could just disconnect the battery you fucktards
Awesome guys
Also, at 9:30; it's called "dieseling" your engine is experiencing too much heat... Causing your gasoline engine to run (in reverse rotation) off of compression from the fumes leftover in the combustion chamber. No spark needed to run on compression, just like a diesel engine.
Nice rescue, may it see many years more of the open road
IDubzz lost brother?
jannplanken omg you right
My 2002 sat for 2 years and I had to do a water pump, and the carburetor needed to be rebuilt. You should do a valve adjustment.
That’s so funny when you said drive fast with that extra clip
BMW 2002 is a very good car
ohh, the car of my dreams 2002 .... nice video, grettings from Sud Americas , Chile . villa alemana city
Great video guys
Well done !! Guys !!
looks like a fun project
my fav bmw EVER
You guys are awesome!
This car is remarkably clean for a car that stood for 16 years. I am starting to think this video is bullshit or it is a huge thumbs up for BMW build quality!!! Now is the time to shoe horn an E46 M3 engine under the hood and do a brake and suspension swop ...
it was in storage for 16 years, and it only has 50k miles on it. basicly a barn find haha
Thanxx...for restauration
Dreamcar...
...called..Porschekiller
From Germany...Berlin
Curious horizontal spark plugs...
Hey Brah!
You still have the car I would to buy it from you brah!
Awesome video! Earned yourself a new subscriber 😀
Mr. Hoonigan Thanks for subbing brother!

well done boys
Que tal muchachos de donde son?
Sounds great
if you don't have love for a 2002, it's like telling Suge Knight you hate Death Row!
Wow. I heard those cars had major issues with carbon buildup on the valves, but never knew it could diesel that bad because of it. Still impressive. Trying to remember if the carbon issue was worse on the 2002TII
idubbbz loves cars, amazing
Ай Женя! крута в тебе тачка! 😎
Eh you should take 4 th Gear and Car engine is off, from this you can build insane retro bmw 🤩
Lowkey this channel gonna blow up someday soon
Yea 3.3k subs lol and Kim not one of em.
Any updates on the 2002? I'm working on my 72' TII RIGHT NOW!!
Okus Sidenote That's awesome! Lots of updates! Coming soon! Subscribe! :)
subscribed! The more detail the better! I know there are lots of 2 owners that would love to see some in-depth how to videos!!
pretty cool guys.
Да он гонит!Она пару месяцев стояла всего а не 16 лет☝️
haha we found this car at a storage unit. The guy had it in his garage for 16 years
Aye these guys are in washington nice!
It sounded like you had a major vacuum leak - probably crankcase ventilation...
Looks like it had a rebuilt motor before it was put away
yea we did not expect the head to look so good when we took off the cover
Nice Car
Thannks!
"Drive fast!" 8:34. Don't push the brake in a curve, but pull down the gas pedal to produce oversteering in the middle of the curve!
great work
Sweet vid, can't believe it kept running lmao
Yea that was a shock for us as well haha. Now that we are further in the project I think this was because of the carburetor that kept supplying the fuel. Btw you have a sweet Z. I just actually watched your video on repairing the dash. I think we will need to do that eventually as well. We have a few cracks in it.
Love the intro :)
Thanks bro!
had 1 same colour same year later rear lights single webber I must have been mad to sell it!
dident know idubbbz worked on cars
lol. destilled water? do you have mud as tapwater?
distilled water has no lime ... so you will not have deposits in the cooling system
Sounds like the timing is off,
hmm the valves that is rocker arms they would be lubed in 15 sec the normal way
Carbs nice and rich over run ahahah I thought it was rich when it was idling first start up
Nice and funny video
good stuff!

8.28 maybe you can unlock the handbrake or pull off the wheel and give the hammer whack on the drums not the disc that's seems not so good to hit
Verie good cars 👍👌✌💕
Plz take care this car
Good job :)
How much did you pay for it ?
you rock man
M10 😍😍😍😍👍👍👍
Hahaha, the super timid approach to spraying fluid in the carb at 5:55....
They less the better. There is a lot of damage you can do to an engine due to uncontrolled combustion, very much like the run-on dieseling after they turned it off.
Were is the p?
Where y’all at in Washington
Tacoma Area
when starting a car that hasn't been running in years spray oil in the cylinder , were the plug was ,let sit over night. also draine fuel tank ,new gas
Marvel Mystery oil is good for cylinders. I'd also look into the tank after emptying to check condition of metal innards.
73's car showing technical problems... Well thats innovation that long ago
C1N3M4T1x the days you could work on a BMW without taking half the engine apart :D
Where in Washington are you guys based out of?
We're from Tacoma area :0
@@pnwproject4653 I'm in lake Stevens..
It seems like it has a broken motor mount, engine shouldn’t have that much movement lol
2002s have a ton of movement when they crank and are trying to fire. More than I've ever seen. It's actually kinda scary if you're not expecting it.
Greg Anderson ......this is true. I used to own a 1975 and thought the same thing at first.
crazy babys
Nice job
Value of this car is bigger than a new series 5.
Gonna need rod bearings after that diesel moment
Awesome video guys. I was dying when you couldn't turn the engine off!! What was happening?
Nate Delage Lol thanks man! It was a lot of fun! It could be two things. Either it was way too hot and causing the gas to combust by itself when the pistons go up. Or the timing is off and it's causing fuel to keep coming in at the wrong time. Something we definitely need to fix. 😂

you are right, the M10 is very strong, my mate has a Turbo E30 with an M10, 300hp on stock engine no problems
2002 one of my fav models !
I just got an '02 and my brakes keep seizing too! How did you fix yours? I changed calipers, lines and pads no luck.

That's awesome man! We're from Seattle! What's the story on your 2002? :)

if you try started the car with the first battery it would burn all the cables ,i had one stoped around twenty years ,and it started in the second turn of the engine
😎 Cool
restore it. 2002s are rare asf
yup, we are back at it
Guys u do not know how to drive manual gearbox car, is it? :)
Los pistones están llenos de carbonilla por eso el motor no se apaga
Is this the guessing game?
Wow a cool car i like the old bmw... need more oktane the the car engine stops by turn off...
Dieter Müller We changed the gas, and got new jets and that fixed the problem!
I'm interested buying your bmw if you are going selling it thanks
i hav one too da cool little rockets
😳 where is the 1st start mate ?
Ezz Roberto we started and drove it about half way through man!!
Idubz?
