I already held my breath for 10 while the guys were bidding 1600 on the Uno... Who wants to bet that the buyer decided to cancel his bid and abandon his ebay account?
Challenge: Everybody has 4h to buy a car for less than 1k. If they still have some money left, they can modify the car with the rest of the money. After this they drive to Germany to go on a lap on the Nurburgring. Who ever drives the fastest lap wins. Of course you can also choose a different track and country but I think the Nurburgring would be cool since the first part of the challenge is to get to the track and the second one is to do a fast lap.
1. It’s illegal to time a car around the Nurburgring in touristenfahrten. 2. The track won’t open until around March next year. They won’t do this, especially not at the Nurburgring.
@@danielpark5575 Like I said: They can also choose a different track. :) I think it would be quite difficult to drive to germany and do a lap on the Nürburgring during corona in winter XD
That 'weird' place of rust below the window is very likely because either somebody tried to steal it or locked the keys in the car...during the 'fishing' they damaged the paint under the seal.
@@hhn2002 I guess that galvanization only lasts so long. Anywhere where water can accumulate can be a breeding ground for rust. I guess that after 14/15 years all bets are off. It's such a small area on the Boy's car that some rust proofing would look better than the real thing. I love these videos and can't wait for the next.
@@z-trip5457 madness. They are great little cars but way gone are the days of £1500 rust free turbo mk1's. That was a great time in life. 10k is insanity
Nah, it's different for the Uno. They are now so rare that they've started to appreciate and nice ones will only be worth more and more now, regardless of what happens with prices generally.
Now we need all 3 on separate laptops bidding on cars individually so there’s competition to get the best bang for your buck. They might even be out bidding eachother which would be hilarious 🤣
A challenge I would LOVE to see is a blindfolded car guessing game. It would be hilarious to see Ethan trying to guess a car only by hearing the exhaust note, the sound of the doors closing or being a passenger in a test drive. Love the channel, greetings from Spain!
Always love the content Something to note, Alex the car "expert" has bought some utter lemons. Then on a random ebay purchase turns out best car purchase yet
I have a challenge idea... All of you buy a car, not for yourselves, but for each other. So for example Jack gets Ethan, Ethan gets Alex and Alex gets Jack. Limo, three wheeler, 1950s Morris 8 etc etc. You can be evil, be nice or be very creative, but the cars have to be accepted by its new owner and used as their next daily driver until its next mot. You must not tell each other who you've got or what car you've purchased and all three cars need to be revealed together. Do your worst gentlemen.
What a car for the money 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Here’s an idea for a challenge, How about a uk road trip each in a budget car trying to have breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper in each of the UK’s capital cities in a 24hr period. To make the best chance of it working I’d imagine you would have to either start it or end it here in Northern Ireland. If starting here it would need to be eat early, onto the boat then Edinburgh, Cardiff & finish in London that night. That would be fun to watch 😀
My 1998 corsa had 42k when I got it 2 years ago. I paid £400 with 12 months MOT. It now has 83k on the clocks and averaged 20k miles per year in the last 2 years I've owned it. Weapon.
Too many times has eBay rejected my higher bid at the last second and cost me some great cars. Or you could look at it having saved me a lot of money and a lot of rust repair.
One challenge I keep thinking would be good for you guys, is to buy a car in the UK then drive it all the way to Malta or Cyprus (where they drive right hand drive cars) and try and sell it on for a profit. European road trip and cheep car challenge in one! Google seems to think that tax and import duty would be lots, but I'm to lazy to read the regs
Watching this video makes me instantly regret selling my rust free clean E36 316i coupe, wasn't fast by any means but dam one car that actually helped me get through hardtimes before covid. I only hope that Jack buys this and runs it as a daily awesome car!! Great episode guys keep up the good work.
That's the best E36 interior I've seen in a long while! Even the fabric on the door cards has held up. An interesting route to go would be swapping in the M42/44 twincam 16v engine (can be had for as little as £150), and you could even get Bruno at BDS to tune it up for you afterwards! Please don't do the M50/52 conversion that has been done to death on these cars.
4-banger S42-replica sleeper would be really cool to be honest. But then this is such a low mileage car, it might just be worth preserving as it is, since E36 prices are shooting up.
£6000 each (or pick a number for your production values.) to buy a van and DIY convert it into a camper that adheers to the DVLA camper conversion rules to get the classification changed (but you don't have to actually get it changed that is probably a pita and would delay the production massivly). Budget includes the van, the conversion materials and any tools/fixings. Then each of you have to spend 3 nights in it and each is documented by a 3rd party and judged.
A small engined e36 usually is poorly equipped. That has climate control, sun roof, centre arm rest, a sunroof and a leather wheel. That’s quite optioned out for a 4 pot 90s bmw. Rear arches normally go, like you said, the head liner usually sags and it’s all good. To get rid of that rust, just go to a breakers and buy another door in the same colour, job done, maybe a front wing where it’s been dinged. You will then have a very clean low mileages e36. Being a 4 pot, it will never be worth as much as a straight 6, but I’m sure there is some profit there.
I once did the ending soonest eBay thing and bought a mk2 Toyota MR2 for £420 (80k miles, FSH, 12 months MOT). The seller was not pleased - he'd had a clutch fitted 2 months earlier that had cost £450!
This should become a project for the “ultimate daily”: interior work, manual transmission and lsd, suspension work, wheels and tires… the engine needs to stay, as that’s reliable and economic and it’s what you would expect from a grocery getter e36.
Man , all I do the last couple of days is watching all the car buying challenges that you have done, they are so addictive. Could you do one that you buy an everyday car for the average driver, emphasizing fuel economy, low tax, reliability but also being a car that you would want and like to drive
That was a pretty exciting episode… watched it 13 days ago. You 3 make a great trio and put out entertaining videos. Quit making us wait so long for another good video ha ha ha
Get Bruno on board for experience and to help Manual swap Engine tune or engine swap LSD Roll Cage Suspension Enter Ethan, Jack and Alex into an entry level drift day
If anything, just manual swap it (personal preference) and leave the rest of it alone. It's in such good condition that it would be a waste to track it, there are loads of track ready E36's already roaming around. Just drive it and enjoy it for what it is.
Great buy for great price 1500 quid for car that is classic and has lowest mileage 49k that's a gem, if some work carried out and detailed and fixed the rust spots this car be relisted for at least £2.5k to 3k and I bet it would sell.
Making me miss having an E36 now....I had 325tds wagon, with 206k miles, absolutely loved it! Sold that for an E38 728i, couldn't get on with it, sold it and bought my E46 325ci which I'm loving rn, still want a E36 back
Alex Should buy the 316iA saloon and Ethan should buy a 318TDS Touring. then make a E36 parade comparo/mini road trip together with Jack's 328 that no one has seen. Great episode guys!
Old Car Roulette - All have £1500 to buy the oldest car possible with a 100+ day MOT. Put the keys in a bag. Pull out a set of keys. Drive from Brands Hatch to Shelsley Walsh (oldest motorsport venue in the world, using original course) using no motorways or dual carriageway (if possible)
Welcome to Essex chaps. If you continued a bit further on Lmbourne end, you'd get to a pretty cool B road with national speed limit. Also, hilarious how you managed not to show Miller and Carter logo, they used to do pretty good steaks...
I'd love to see something cheap swapped continuously to get something better. I nabbed a £1400 Lexus GS300 which was dirt cheap for a mk3, swapped it for a c220, now swapped it for an E92 320d msport, which is worth over double that maybe even triple. I'd say its going pretty well, but you guys with the three of you and your contacts could start with a right banger and trade up to something pretty awesome. Its something that can bubble away in the background for rainy day content!
I used to buy all my cars like this 'back in the day'. Ended up with some right gems for no money but that was when things like e34 and e32 could be bought for 500 quid! That is a good user that one. Very strong car.
Oh my goodness - an E36 316i Auto... That sure takes me back. I worked at a BMW dealership when the E30 was replaced by the E36 - what a huge leap forward that car was in terms of space, comfort and driveability. Actually, the 1.6i engine, in my experience, was also the much smoother and more 'zingy' option compared to the (vastly more popular) 1.8i - and, if you used the auto shifter a bit like a sequential gearbox, you could better keep the engine in the power band for much swifter progress.
Hate to break it to ya but the dot next to the mileage is a 'tamper' dot, this has potentially been clocked. Get it on INPA or ISTA D and check what mileage is in the other modules.
Another enjoyable vid gents. Here’s an idea for a challenge - each of your has a budget of say £1500 to spend on a car at an auction. You then have to carry out a series of tests (0-60 time, braking distance, lap of a track etc.). You then have to sell your cars for the same money or more. The person which the most points wins. P.S. If Ethan got jitters bidding on a car from eBay, it would be interesting to see how he copes with an auction in person!
Challenge idea - £2,500 each to buy and modify - 1/4 mile time - lap time (track of your choice) - cheeky mpg run - points lost for breakdowns etc - sell at the end lose points for lost money. Gain for profit
As much as I dislike BMW's, I see nothing appealing about them. However, I cannot deny that is a mentally clean car for an eBay impulse bid! Cracking motor for the money.
first 3m. guys whilst you’re sitting there deciding if you should press submit, 1/2 people have already put bids in. the current bid is not a live feed
Hey Ethan! It was nice to see you out in the wild today with your family, I was the guy who said “Alright Ethan? Didn’t expect to see you” just after getting out my van, I know you don’t know me but I’m so used to seeing you on RUclips it’s hard not to react like bumping into an old friend 😂 I wasn’t going to say anything but you clocked me clocking you so I felt it would be weirder if I didn’t say anything but I didn’t want to intrude whilst you were with your family! If any of you (let’s be honest it’ll be Jack or Alex 😉) ever put the wrong fuel in a car or need a car’s tank draining for whatever reason call me, I work for fuel fixer our number is available on google and I’d be happy to make a video showing how it’s done with you. Though if you’re (as in Alex or Jack) going to do it though do it in Cumbria as that’s where I’m usually based, I’m just covering this area whilst the guy who covers this area is off. Can’t wait for the podcast to come back! Take care from Adam the fuel fixer :)
Can we just make 5 seconds of silence for the person who bid over £1600 on that old fiat uno 😔
They had auto-bid on so they must have wanted it quite bad!
Probably forgot to set an amount limit. No Uno is worth that much, not even one with 500 miles on the clock.
I'm thinking maybe a sentimental buy?
I already held my breath for 10 while the guys were bidding 1600 on the Uno... Who wants to bet that the buyer decided to cancel his bid and abandon his ebay account?
... the last time i drove uno it went on fire , but i also think 1600 is way too much

Yes! Listen to this man car throttle!!!

A smart car. It's Mercedes so it's luxury 🤣
Apart from being a lowly 1.6, it's a really nice car, and far better condition than the price would suggest.

- sell at the end lose points for lost money. Gain for profit
I hope they noticed the cords showing badly on the near side rear tyre before driving off. U could see this when they looked under the car
As much as I dislike BMW's, I see nothing appealing about them. However, I cannot deny that is a mentally clean car for an eBay impulse bid! Cracking motor for the money.
Hm, the photos on the ad were the same as the place that they reviewed the car. I hope that is not staged... big fan of the channel!!!!
I mean who would take a picture of their car in the place the car is?
What are you smoking?
first 3m. guys whilst you’re sitting there deciding if you should press submit, 1/2 people have already put bids in. the current bid is not a live feed
Hey Ethan! It was nice to see you out in the wild today with your family, I was the guy who said “Alright Ethan? Didn’t expect to see you” just after getting out my van, I know you don’t know me but I’m so used to seeing you on RUclips it’s hard not to react like bumping into an old friend 😂 I wasn’t going to say anything but you clocked me clocking you so I felt it would be weirder if I didn’t say anything but I didn’t want to intrude whilst you were with your family! If any of you (let’s be honest it’ll be Jack or Alex 😉) ever put the wrong fuel in a car or need a car’s tank draining for whatever reason call me, I work for fuel fixer our number is available on google and I’d be happy to make a video showing how it’s done with you.
Though if you’re (as in Alex or Jack) going to do it though do it in Cumbria as that’s where I’m usually based, I’m just covering this area whilst the guy who covers this area is off.
Can’t wait for the podcast to come back! Take care from Adam the fuel fixer :)
This should become a project car. Modernize it. Full m tech kit, new wheels, manual swap with a 6 cylinder. Great bones to start with.
I *LOVED* my E36 320i - it was my first BMW. It was flawlessly reliable too
Absolutely stunning car for the money! Maybe take it in for a full inspection? Upgrades are always nice, even for a daily!
Man I felt like I was there with you boy's!! The ups and downs and almost getting a Fiat for more than the E36!!! 👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
smells like a felching competition was the 2nd part 😂😂😂😂
That’s a right find! Carnt wait to
See what’s planned for it,
Jacks saying “smells like someone has been done up the rear end “ 🤣
