Ive been putting off this exact job on my E46 you've inspired me to go ahead & tackle it
You got this
You got this
START POSTING REELS OF YOUR E30 get more reach you’re amazing man you deserve more subs improve your reach by hashtags and post a reel a day you’ll get hella subs trust ❤
my boy wolfin, hype to see the progress on the car cant wait for more drift content my guy🤙🏼
Love watching all the details man. The fails n trouble spots. All that stuff is the best part.
2:45 before you go freaking out and changing stuff remember your gonna be putting stuff in the back. Load the car up with weight and then check if it’s still to high.
This is his drifter so his not gonna have loads of stuff in the back.. I would do as he says, getting 2 inch shorter springs
Great work my man. I was hesitant to diy my own brake lines and it turned out a lot easier than I thought it would be! Just gotta jump into it and do it to figure it out, now brake repairs will seem like a piece of cake (although annoying af). Good tip with mocking up the line on the car before cutting, I copied my broken line in copper and it turned out my bends were off enough for the fittings to not align and not clip into mounting brackets, lots of twisting and bending fixed it but was a real pain in the ass. Also like you said, don't forget the fitting before flaring, learned that the hard way.
Loved the video bro, always love seeing how in detail you go in the vids and your content is the best. Always love seeing your videos
you need 4 brake lines because you have 4 channel abs on the e46 , the e30 has 3 channel abs . reason why it only uses one line to the rear
went through this pain on my civic when i twisted a brake line but as you say the hardest part of it was just getting started
Great vids man, should have done the brake lines when your rear axle was off, luckily i did mine when i manual swapped--xdrive deleted mine. I did new lines from the rear door because they also rot on top of the fuel tank. But as always, great video quality and content, keep up the good work!
Edit: watched some more of the video, the lines were dead like i imagined :D
E46 is sending 2 lines to back to control the stability control and shit on each wheel from the ABS pump, thats why there's 2 lines.
so glad i did all of the lines and hoses in my e36
bro i had to redo my whole brake system in my m50 swapped e30 and that shit was a nightmare that took me over 2 months, this just shows my being a youtube mechanic vs your shit hahaha
Just got a 2002 325xi 5 speed and needs new lines. Glad to see it’s not impossible 😅
Same here, gotta do the rear lines on my e39, tryna avoid running over fuel tank as brackets rusty af
Bro those NiCopp lines are a breeze once you get the old rusty shit off, and once you find a decent bubble flare tool. If I see any corrosion now I just replace the whole line. Great job and good find on the bumper 😎
Hi ImJoel.
Brilliant video.
The inspection shop told me last week that my rear lines are crusty and need to be replaced.
They also told me they would have to remove the tank, the prop shaft and the exhaust to get to them.
(And bill me for that of course)
You have just demonstrated that's bogus.
I don't have a lift so I might let a shop do the job anyway but at least I now know that it is possible to do it without dropping the tank.
Then again I might have a go myself.
Just needs a little ingenuity. It's a shame how some mechanics can't think outside the box like you just did.
Can't thank you enough.
It has been a few months now. Is it still good?
The best way to do this is to buy the line already bent and ready for install. It's a bit more money but worth it as doing all those flairs and then bends is INSANE!! LOL. Great video as always Joel!!
Does that mean you have to remove the fuel tank though?
Hay Jole, first thing 1st this is not just for you this is for everyone that works on their cars. When you run out of air in a canned that has aerosol you can use a valve stem that's been cut on the end to refill that can with air compressed air to be pacific. Second don't feel bad about driving a car with bad brakes I drove a car my wagon F 2 thousand3E 46 500 miles with a leaking brake caliber talk about stress. lol. We gotta do we gotta do.
I’m not seeing your upload notification no more you should mention about that still 10/10 video
Ayyy new video!!
This was the perfect chance to install an inline hydro if you ever though about adding a long boy in da whip.
Nice job man
finally the e46 is back
What you’re talking about in the beginning is the motion ratio of your spring but I think you have it backwards. The further inward it is from the wheel, the MORE effective it is. For example let’s say you had a true coil over strut setup with 10k springs. If you now move you spring back to the bucket, you would only need around a 6k spring for the same effectiveness. This is because the spot on the arm where the spring sits (the “bucket”) is about 60% of the way to the wheel. Chelsea Denofa has a really good video on spring rates if you want to look into it more.
Great video
Your beard changing in the video was great. 😂
Lets see you drift the wagon some more
Nice drift wagon!!
You can refill aerosol cans with a conpressor
Bro is lucky with that pre face lift wagon
Hey Joel I’m curious what lower arms are you running in the rear, I’m looking for a decent set
The problem is the maxpeedorods rear shock absorber is too short and you have to over compress/preload the spring to get the bolt in
watch denofas video on how to setup rear shock/spring. i used to think that too, it will help you understand whats goin on back there
its not the springs bro trus, put 25mm spacers in front they are GAMECHANGER.
You should start a series on turbocharging the e46
No he shouldnt ? He should drift the drift car it doesnt need a turbo
Where did you get the bubble flare tool kit? And the roll of copper brake line?
would it be easier if you replicate the length and bends of the line before install?
16 k is very stiff. I’ve never seen anyone go over 12k on a rear unless it’s a rear engine.
A shorter 10-12k would probably be better.
If you are ever in this position you can crimp off the rears so the fronts keep working. I dummied mine in copper and then used it as a guide to bend up a SS line.
Great video, thanks man!! Going to be doing this to mine too 27:02
run meaty tires. Works good on my turbocharged e46 wagon, should fill that gap
My man Omar got that shit on tho
so sick but where's the e34?
that sc clean
Kind of in a pickle right now, need to do this but on the front kind of ASAP. Does anyone know where I can get these fittings from? Or are they universal?
which scrapyard has the e46 wagon? I could use a tailgate…
Wya man miss you pause
Whats the tool u use to blend the pipe called
damn bruh i was gonna ask what happened to the wagon !
Yoooo why is the wagon at 91 degrees 😂
Bro get m3 bumpers to the wagon plsssss
Let’s Goooo
Ouhh i see someone is watching m539 restorations too🙂
Bro, you need a S54 swap that wagon!
Some rear adjustable lower control arms will definitely help with the camber there are eBay ones going for around 100 bucks which are way better than the stock ones because the stocks are built like shi and bend easily. Love the video btw keep it up!
Did you watch the video ? Can clearly see he has maxspeedingrod rear camber arms lol
@@Skrillhex I did not notice mb mb
U sold the E34?????
I’d say lift up the front to even out the rear
🤮
9:54 💀
DOT 3????
You know the brake lines are marked on the ABS unit
bro I need to find a junk yard with bmws in it idc if I have to make a day trip floods has NOTHING
Florida*
