“Hi is that BMW? I need to order some parts”
“Which parts do you need?”
“All of them” 😂
🤣🤣
Love having Chris involved at the end of the video doing the sums too better then shouting across the room 😂
Has No one spotted the mileage discrepancy from 15,877 then down to 15,378, its there in Blue and white for all to see!!!
Hi Guys. I noticed when you did the walk around that you will probably need an new air filter. Just wanted to let you know in case you missed it!
It was running when it crashed, more like it had just taken flight and came down with a bump! With the driver walking away from that it shows how far the safety of cars has come on!
The only thing running was the driver😂
@@tonyknight3690 🤣🤣
@@tonyknight3690 hahah
Bet his pants were a bit messy
@@hfraat25 but where was the bigger skid marks, the road or his under crackers 😂😂😂
For a laugh, I'd like to see Chris go out and buy something like that to see Rob's reaction.
The car was in a shocking state almost urecognisable from some angles! I guess its a testament to the construction of BMW's that the owner walked away from this one particularly the speed he was doing! Seems his wallet was more injured though, looks like he paid 26k for it the end of last year, nine months later its worth 2k!! The body is only fit for the crusher although plenty of parts. Would be great to see you guys do a re-shell but imagine the man hours that would take would tie you both up for ages.
The mileage was higher on 09/21 than 12/21 on the carvertical check.
I was actually waiting for Chris to either lose it big time , or roll around on the floor laughing . Have to say even though that car is proper toast , still well worth watching . Once again great video guys well done ....
Most of that will buff out 🤣 Robs line that done, ‘ I noticed it had one good wing mirror on it’ 🤣🤣🤣 brilliant guys, good money to be made on the parts or selling it on 👍🏻
Best response from Chris 👉 I mean it's the worst car that someone has turned up expecting me to repair 🔧 absolutely brilliant 😂😂😂 love this channel - keep up the good work Chris & Rob 👍👍👍
A friend of my parents ordered a brand new Peugeot 405 Mi16x4 back in 1990 and spec'd every single optional extra on it. First drive and it was hit by a BMW and rolled. Because the car was so new they re-shelled it and it was nothing but trouble from then on in. I think everyone regretted the re-shelling, I think you will dodge a bullet by not going down that route! Much as it would be fun to watch!
80mph in to what a planet 🌎.. that was travelling well in access of I would say at least 120mph .. but .. what ever the speed that car was doing saved the guys life that day .. testament to the build quality.. every safety device worked perfectly.. and he walked away .. shows how far safety technology has advanced over the years
He wouldn't have been able to survive the g force on his body at 120mph.
Take in attention crash tests are done at +- 35mph and the damage is massive as the new cars are made to dissipate the energy of the impact around the shell protecting the occupants, now having that in mind imagine if that impact in what looks like an not deformable barrier at 120mph, the steering wheel will be in the boot and the driver will be mash peas
I think it's a sensible buy. The engine & gearbox - if undamaged - should be worth £2K and lots of other specialist parts. Is it worthwhile pulling the front out just so you can see if the engine runs?
How could the engine be undamaged!?
@@johnbrees22 engine will be fine
@@johnbrees22 If the sump is undamaged and it still has plenty of oil, then the video seemed to suggest that only peripherals were damaged: radiator, fan, alternator, maybe power steering. None of these would stop the engine safely turning over.
Definite breaker, don't waste your time and the effort. And this is why you're doing so well, your honesty and transparency on so many things like the Cat B. 100% its a breaker and no one with half a brain and decency would waste their time repairing that.
Walking out of that just shows how good cars are designed and a lot of the safety stuff that complicates them is worth every penny !!
Guys I would love to see you transform it to its former glory it would be a great series of videos, com on we know you got the skills and the shell price is very reasonable, give it a go we would love to see it 👍
100% CAT B Breaker that should never be put back on the road it's as Rob would say Toast and it had a mileage dip of a few hundred Miles.
Great car for spares, so good buy Rob, I like the way Chris is so laid back and cool about everything, i see a profit coming anyway, funny video
did you notice the mileage go down from 15877 to 15378 ? on your vehicle check, a few teeny tiny scuffs im sure give it a wash and 10 minutes of attention and it will be cruising again 😁
I noticed that straight off
A blast of Jennychem snow foam and it'll be good as new.
‘It was driving alright when it crashed’ has to be the most optimistic statement ever.
Good insight into the proper salvage aspect of your business. You make the content interesting, relatable and funny too. Top work as usual gents.
That's a breaker Rob. It should never go back on the road again. Do the right thing and break it for parts.
Chris, 'it's the worst one somebody's brought me to repair ' Oh how I laughed. OK re-shell would have been the only option but so much time to repair I didn't see much left and that goes for the car as well 😂. Thanks for sharing another day in the life of SRUK Rob and Chris.👍👍👍
I was laughing my head off at this 😂
We Buy Any Car would buy it too
I’m so glad you chaps bought that, I dread to think if somebody else bought that to repair and did a shoddy repair on it. Excellent video again chaps❤️
I can see by his face Chris wants to keep this one lol 😂 😂😂🤷🏻♀️
One of the most interesting videos you’ve done. A proper insight to salvage and repair. Excellent
Rob, can you call the guy you bought it off, and ask him if he can ask the bloke who crashed it; if he wouldn't mind picking my lottery numbers this week.. One lucky guy.
Hi lads. I'm BMW ATA senior panel beater I've worked for BMW for last 18 years. I re shelled a E46 m3 years ago and they was a ser charge on shell from BMW so the shell was about same money as the m2401 shell but the sir charge was about £1500 I'm sure the shell with chassis number stamped from BMW was only about £2600. If you did go down that route I'd phone back and ask about that because I didn't hear him say anything about that. I'm unfortunately off work this week on holiday or I'd have asked are parts department about it..😉 your right though rest of bits would probably still kill it. 😉
Watch the end bud 👌👍
Cracking videos guys, loved the ending with the 2 of you sat chatting to camera. As you said, the parts on it are worth more than you paid for it. Great content as ever.
I love the variety of things that Rob brings back and the different ways of getting around the problems.
Even Arthur Tussik would flinch at that one.
Driver was very lucky, during my career I did accident reconstruction after serious or fatal collisions and that driver was blessed. Let us know what you get for it, when I saw it on the truck I was shocked.
Now this is ambitious!! Love the channel, & looking forward to this 1
Great to see Chris on vid, getting more ok with the fame lol. Love the channel guys, with this car, I hope you do all right on it, good luck.
Great video Rob and Chris. A re-shell is the way to go, this one is probably twisted.
Isn't that like 3 BMW's in a row that haven't passed the Rob/Chris test now? This one, that knackered 325 and....?
Hi Rob & Chris, i’ve been watching your videos for over a year and i’ve got to say that by moving the BMW240i on to pastures new is probably one of the best decisions that you have made. It would be a lot of work for you both & it would tie you up for several weeks.
You have got an excellent channel & you are both so friendly & honest in what you do.
Keep up the good work. 👍
I love your content but this car should never be allowed back on the road.
Mat Armstrong would attempt a rebuild on that car. 😂
No chance
Amazing content guys. The BMW m240i is one worst damaged I’ve ever seen. The car has took one hard impact. How did person driving this car survive he’s very lucky he survived in this car. This is going to require lots of parts such as the car shell. Also lots of time and money spent on this rebuild. I believe in you guys if you were to fix this car it would come out like a brand new car like it come out a BMW main dealer. I think you should do what you think is right.
See you on Wednesday.
Great video, gents. The chemistry between the two of you is a joy to watch.
Rob and Chris , you both really made me laugh on this one. Your sense of humour and good nature banter really is special. I agree repair would take up far too much time. I would say the gearbox and engine alone will make you a profit so a good buy.
Hi guys and welcome back to part 545 of the m240 repair...its 2024 and we need to get this off to paint 😆 🤣
Doing a reshell series would have been great but totally understand your concerns about how much time it would take. It would've been parts, parts and more parts to be found. Then it would've joined the paint queue! No doubt an easy flip to your contacts for a nice little earner for pair of you.
Good shout guys, I would have loved to have seen a re-shell, but with the reality of the time frame your call makes perfect sense. Onwards and upwards.
Looking down the passenger side the top hinge on the door are 8 inches out would have loved to see Chris and Rob work their magic on the jig with that one. Credit to BMW someone is still walking/alive after that wallop. Thanks Gentlemen.
Seeing a re-shell would be interesting, but maybe not this one.
At the end of the day you need to get things out the door in reasonably timely manner and if you can make a decent profit from selling it on for parts, that's what makes most sense.
If Trigger can do it with his Broom I am sure Chris could get this back on the road.
Hello Rob and Chris.
Great video and some very funny comments from you both. Nothing fazes Chris.
I’m sure you will make a profit.
Thank you for taking the time to upload another video.
Ged
Love Rob's reply to Chris enquiring about the engine and gearbox - "it was driving ok when it crashed" 🤣
Piece of cake for Arthur Tussik.
Me personally would call 📞 that guy up who breaks BMWs up and sells parts because still a few good parts on the M240i but we'll done for giving it a bash CHRIS AND ROB 🙏🏻😁
Wow that made me chuckle, especially turning the truck round lol - what a lucky guy walking away from that, be good to see it repaired but as you say not only the money involved but also the time it will take - time for it to go to heaven me thinks
This is going to be the best video of all time if you repair this,it looks an impossible job but you guys always amaze me.
2:38 Why does the Mileage come DOWN between 15,877 to 15,378 between September and December 2021 ??????
I think Davanti tyres is very telling of the previous owner, apart from the massive crash obviously. Be worth a lot in parts that I'm sure. A bit of a shame as it's unrecorded, but clearly not worth your guys time to fix that. Well I'd say it's unfixable!
Davanti "ditch finders" looks like they found a brick wall 😂
100% it’s the first thing I look at buying a car. If people don’t invest in a safety feature like tyres, you can be assured they haven’t invested in the things you can’t see 👍🏼
Great video (as usual) , slightly off beat, which somehow makes it even better! Great content! Thanks!
I agree with selling it to the specialist breakers. Make a nice tidy little profit for you both for picking it up and a little leg work. Keep the great content coming guys. Loved the competition by the way, well done to the winners 👍🏼
as Chris should say " its been a BMW M 240I for far to long " great video boys .....
A new body from bmw would be amazing content
It now has a nice patina. Anyway, your reasoning was something useful to many repairers in business. Thank you.
Thank God for that. I could see this one lasting longer than Last of the summer wine. Good luck lads
It was driving alright when it crashed! 😆 🤣 😂
If you chuck some change in the car then Chris overlooks the damage. Too busy with the adventure of chasing money 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇬🇧👍👌🇺🇸🇬🇧👍👌🤣🇺🇸🇬🇧👍
Who ever was driving that car must be counting their lucky stars they are not brown bread,excellent content Rob and Chris,keep up the good work,look forward to more fantastic car capers👍👍👍
when i was a trainee mechanic around 2000/2001 i went on many breakdown/recoveries as bad as that. often wondered how possible it is to repair, i mean its mostly bolt on parts plus whatever frame treatment it needs assuming engine etc is fine. i know insurance people write em off straight away especially older cars lately. years ago id love to get 2 damaged cars and make 1 run to sell on but i never did it and now im in care work instead of mechanics lol (bit of a profession jump)
This will never see the road again. But the reg and vin numbers will
great video, that is a wreck, the engine was fine until it crashed comment cracked me up, brilliant
“I think it’s the worst car someone’s turned up expecting me to repair”. This got to be one of the funniest things Chris has ever said on camera! I have watched all of your videos and I can honestly say, none have ever made me have such a sharp intake of breath, as this one did seeing that damage!
Chris knows most of that will buff up! Chris is just too cool to get stressed! Looking forward to seeing this one develop!
I was really hoping that after the estimates of body shell etc, that you would of given it a go because it's the reason why we all watch your channel.
The government wouldn't allow that on the road again, regardless of how much you repaired it.
@@SubjectiveFunny the government wouldn’t have a say in it it’s unrecorded
We don’t buy cars for content and we wouldn’t earn out of this
You could always convert it into a trailer tent!🤣🤣👍.
Many years ago, when I was a junior doctor I worked in A&E. I always asked what cars people were driving when they had a bad smash and walked away (particularly when people in the other car were seriously injured or killed). More often than not, BMWs which is one of the reason I have had so many of them.
Would have been interesting watching you swap everything onto a new body shell, but I’m sure you made the right decision moving it on.
" Yeah, it was running....Till it crashed"......Cracked me up did that!...😄😄😄😄
It'd have been good to see you go through the process of re-shelling this car, but that's the thing with you guys being so busy and successful, how do you commit to the amount of time needed to fix it. Out of interest, if you legally completely re-shell a car, what happens regarding the chassis number?.
Matt Armstrong be all over that lol
?
Amazing the driver walked away. A testament to modern car design that it can protect the occupant with the forces involved at 80mph. 🙏
Great content again. ❤️
I loved Chris’s reaction. I actually did laugh out loud. Top video guys. It just shows how far we have come with car safety if they walked away from that one. Would like to know what they hit to see the state of that. Keep them coming.
Hi Rob why did you say there was no problem with the mileage when it goes from 15877 to 15378 a year later that is backwards in anybodies book.
I noticed that as well, I'm just watching it now
That's the 500 miles it bounced straight backwards after it hit whatever it hit
It’s got a good wing mirror …😂😂😂
Had no idea cars had wings or is it a plane.
I had a head-on accident quite a few years ago - which, like this car, resulted in EVERY SINGLE PANEL of my car twisted/damaged - the combined impact speed was 130mph. I too walked away from the accident (albeit severely bruised...) - the car was checked over by a specialist working on behalf of the local constabulary, and was told if the impact was an INCH in any direction, I wouldn't be here today.
You didn't use the horn?
Hilarious video guys had me in stitches eating me toast this morning. Loved the idea of a reshell but the time it would take would be insane. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you know what I think you should get a shell and do it very good content and would be good to see it in stages being done good little profit as well 😁
Guys love the channel but this ones toast🚗🚗🔧🔧
All very relaxed as usual guys, I thought Chris might take up the challenge but no, keep smiling, love your work from down under!
£4000 engine with ECU and keys, gearbox £750, rear subframe and diff £650.....that'll break very quickly to 5-6k. Then send the V5 to DVLA as scrap with a covering letter. Even if you sell to a breaker, I would still write to DVLA saying the car is damaged beyond repair. At £2500, you did very nicely. Good effort!
Rob, not being funny, I wouldn’t have even touched that. My insurance company classed my previous car as a Cat B and it wasn’t half as damaged at that after my accident on June
It has a wet Nürburgring kinda vibe to it...
Without track insurance. I'd say it had more like a drink drive vibe to it.
Just catching up on the vids guys after my 3 weeks in Turkey, WOW what a smack that has had, such a shame but a great video to explain the ins and outs of your business and how different things work out for you without really doing any work,
Keep it up brilliant!
Love you guys such a positive outlook no matter what.. love your channel..best wishes
“ ladies and gentlemen welcome to our new panel show - find the the straight panel on the car”
Boot, found it. 💪
Just curious what the damage was like on the express train that hit that motor 😁😁😁
To those saying "why did you buy that?" ....The path to profit in the motor trade follows many different directions. The best at it make money when they seemingly have no right to or where others faced with the same scenario couldn't. Rob and Chris are masters at this game, just look on and quietly learn from them.
Really interesting to hear the process for what to do next.. cheers love the channel boys
There is a fella on RUclips Arthur tussik have a look he could straighten out Elton john 😀
Arthur is good, very good but to be honest he does repair some stuff that just should not be allowed back on the road.
@@ianmaciver4004 I wonder how they drive after be interested to know 🤔
Makes you wonder why they didn’t put a claim in, even though an accident like that would be enough to put you off driving forever surely not easy having a 20k+ loss on top but most important and invaluable thing is that they came out alive. Great video as always 👍
Drug driving
Drink driving
3rd party insurance
Or flying round a track
I know some travellers that have bought their kids performance cars, Audi RS3 for example, 18 year old driver third party only insurance. TBF the ones I've known haven't actually binned the cars but that's more luck than judgement!
T
@@petersylvester2905 crazy, at that age it’s often cheaper to get comprehensive cover anyway, if it was insured at all that is.
@@Joshyg02 I guess there insurance companies don't want the risk of covering a high performance car, they'll have paid loads just for the third party cover but they've got loads of money so they aren't bothered!
Hi Rob and Chris, great video, still a profit so all good. Lucky guy to walk away from it, but doe's show the strength of a modem car eh.. Chris's face and the banter was brilliant, Alex.
Love the optimism from you two in this video, think it’s time you had a film crew/editors it’s all about levels and you guys are a cut above anyone else out there, loved wheeler dealers but you both are in my book the true wheeler dealers
