PURCHASED THE CHEAPEST CLEAN TITLE E92 M3! FULLY RESTORED!

howy guys welcome back to NY Garage in today's video we have a clean title e92 M3 that we are rebuilding this bad boy actually rebuilt a while back from my boy Nick and we actually uploaded on our second Channel but honestly we decided to want to re-upload it on this channel just because a lot of you guys didn't get to see it and that car really deserves some attention it was the cheapest M3 we've ever purchased as a whole group he actually drove it from LA to here with the whole rear end smashed in I don't dude he did something I would never do but all power to him we got the car here we ended up fully sorting it out for him so not only did have the cheapest e92 M3 but it's also a really sick spec so I hope you guys enjoy this video let's just get right into [Music] it so guys we are here with an e92 M3 and this one is just such an interesting e92 M3 MBE because uh I talked to my boy asked if it's okay to be transparent because I like to be as transparent as possible on my videos uh but this is what this is right here is not a salvage title it's a clean title e92 M3 that my boy Nick picked up for you want to tell him $7500 but wait you can't film it yet it looks like a hoopy crap wait to break the bumper basically one of the Splitters fell off earlier you guys saw it in the last video kind of like a little sneak peek of it yeah basically the reason why I was 7500 bucks is uh because of this like the damage uh it's it's not terrible it's not terrible but it's definitely there and I definitely think we can get this thing fixed and up and running this bad boy has 200,000 mil it's a clean tile California car his entire life and it was maintained uh by an an older guy right he owned it for 10 years you put 150,000 mil on it and he literally has a title it says 47,000 Mi on it right now it's like 204 right 204,000 mil on it so I just want to show show you guys how much a 204,000 mi e92 M3 has aged because this thing needs a lot of work and in the next probably like week or two I'm going to make uh one video behind the scenes on this car fully restoring it uh because again this car definitely deserves to be restored this is Nick's first M3 he's definitely going to be enjoying it and honestly there's some things about it that make this thing pretty unique which I'm pretty excited to show you guys this particular car was very well taken care of I am happy to say that we have actual paperwork on this car that the throttle actuators have been replaced and actually not only replaced but upgraded um so they're pretty much almost Lifetime and then also the rod bearings on this car has been done just recently as well again with paperwork and everything and I think you have like a folder this thick right oh yeah here's the actual proof of the the raw brings these the original RW brings which actually were not in bad shape this car was warmed up uh pretty well his entire life and again he had a folder this thick of documents for this car which is really crazy the previous owner basically got rened by a car that didn't have insurance or the person didn't have insurance they were only able to pay up half of the damages on this car so he took half the money and uh he decided to I guess buy another car and this one was just kind of sitting actually he drove it to you to pick you up at the airport so he drove it to him to pick him up from the airport nickl literally flew out from Denver to the airport um the LA airport bought the car he was picked up in this car and then I drove it all the way to here 6 and a half hours later and uh long story short again the the the previous owner got half the money you couldn't really fix the car he couldn't total out through insurance so he basically just had a rended car he just wanted it gone he just wanted it gone and when Nick actually saw this car I was like bro if you don't get it I'll have to get it because this is an absolute killer deal um again for an e92 M3 and again let me show you guys the options this thing has does need a lot of love does need a lot of work but I think once we're through with it it's going to be a beautiful Silverstone e92 M3 I mean just check that bad boy out so guys to show you the first couple of things this car does have the shadow line package which is again really nice for the for the price we got this car for it's not a base Bas Bas model we have the shadow line mirrors the shadow line trim unfortunately there are little things like this that's around you know the entire car with issues uh we got a carbon fiber roof which you didn't even know until you actually came to pick up the car right so that was kind of cool now unfortunately um there is a patch right over here that the previous owner tried to repair on it but just ended up making it worse so we're probably going to go ahead and get this thing restored in the front windshield is an oem BMW windshield right over here now coming around to the driver's seat um there is a lot of wear so we are going to be on the lookout for two front e92 black seats over here as well there is a couple scratches this door car definitely needs to be replaced um not really looking too to too good again the interior definitely shows its age for 200,000 Mi but what's kind of crazy is the steering wheel though is absolutely Mint Condition the leather is perfect a good cleanup is going to make that thing look absolutely beautiful um the trim though unfortunately does have some wear on there just so you guys believe me uh check out the mileage on this thing 204,000 Mi not kilometers guys miles that is kind of crazy now this car does come with heat of Si which is super nice Nick the literally the the day he got it from LA before he actually drove back here within like the hour that he had it he installed a cic unit because why not right I want my bluetooth media he installed the cic um you didn't upgrade the controller yet because you do have to replace the trim so you didn't have that but I believe if you actually press this right now this is an 08 car with a 2011 navigation AC works everything works right here as you guys can see this button out of place we're probably going to pop out this trim and get that button fixed right over here you guys can also see that this dashboard is actually extended leather black which is kind of crazy and this dashboard is extended leather black which I'm going to be honest with you guys I have never seen an extended leather Dash or extended leather interior in Black I've never seen it before so it's kind of cool to see right here this car does come with the EDC package but it is busted the car is running very stiff right now um looking at the doors individual sound system which is super cool to have again for a budget car um so that's super nice headliner does need a lot of love let me go ahead and show you guys the headliner it literally looks like a wave so we're definitely going to have to swipe out all that stuff this car because it's a carbon rof it's going to be kind of hard to find a black headliner but once we do we'll swap that out we also need some sun visors swap those out as well and yeah just throughout the entire car it just honestly just really needs a really good cleaning and then we're going to start swapping some things out and just getting some new parts restoring this car because this is an e92 M3 and uh V8 are becoming extinct we got to save them all let's go ahead start restoring this bad boy the first thing this thing needs um is just a really good [Music] detail [Music] [Music] n [Music] so months have gone by and since then you've been back in Denver yes the car has been sent off to the shop it's been dialed in I have a little bit of Clips here and there that we're going to throw in probably like right now for you guys I've actually taken the car to the paint shop take it to the frame shop take it to the body shop all that good stuff it's all been sorted for the most part but we have all the stuff that Nick decided to go above and beyond on in terms of getting this 200,000 mil is exactly 200,000 or how much miles on it 203,000 20 3,000 M e92 M3 clean title back on the road and he's going to he plans on ripping this thing like crazy so he decided to Lally order every single thing you can possibly find on FCP or on a bunch of other websites for this M3 and we're going to do it all in this video for you guys so this car is going to get a full rebuild refresh all in this one video so if you guys are excited for that make sure to smash that like button and stay [Music] tuned [Music] and [Music] so moments later guys we have the rear bumper finally on the car we went ahead also drilled out the holes for the PDC sensors we actually had the shop draw the holes I went ahead added OEM brackets OEM sensors all that's hooked up now so all that's looking really good considering the fact that this thing was rear ended the gaps are looking super good everything's paint matched and everything's just honestly looking pretty phenomenal now at this point we at that point where we do have to also this is a new trunk because the other trunk was damaged um this wiring is probably going to get done tomorrow same video but tomorrow for you guys I mean for us and uh right now we're actually planning on working on the suspension just because you have the the rear end of the car up off the ground this thing needs a whole new refresh just because that's 200,000 miles typically if I pull the Norway I'm probably just going to leave that but we're pulling the Nick way today so it wasn't that much he spent a little bit of a fortune but we're going to go ahead and refresh all the suspension so this car is going to drive as if it did off the showroom floor hopefully theoretically that' be pretty [Music] sick all right guys so hours later it is literally night time I think it's like 900 p.m. right now um we finally finished both sides of just the rear suspension because honestly it was such a pain in the butt let me show you guys what we end up replacing um so this upper control arm right over here let me get a flashlight going for you guys so that upper one's been replaced as you guys can see that one's been replaced as well and then that one right there has been replaced and we also added some nice Bill steam shocks so yeah bada bang bada bang everything's looking really good suspension wise both of the rears are finally done it was honestly a pain in the butt tomorrow I guess we actually you hop on those I didn't realize how long that will take us but let me see what time it is it's only 8:30 right now kind of [Music] crazy [Music] the life of S65 bro breaking Parts left and right breaking my wallet breaking my wallet for [Music] real so this is the next day Nick went ahead and actually removed a bunch of stuff on the top of this motor he's pretty much trying to get these valve covers both removed has is actually trying to remove everything um this little van is it not a Vanos the the what's it called the um PCV valve PCV valve uh went ahead and just literally snapped off so that could have snapped off at any moment so luckily we went ahead and sourced one of those locally as well so be replacing that and we take off the valve covers replacing all the seals and Gasket fuel injectors um I'm going to be doing some things inside the motor as well to protect it and preserve it so again a lot of things going to be going on underneath here we'll just kind of get all the surface level things out of the way so we can show you guys what we're exactly doing to revive this Beast all right guys so right over here as Nick's actually you know working on the top end of the engine he showed you guys what he was working on uh I went ahead actually start the front and suspension of this car this thing really needed a fresh new tuneup all the bushings are pretty much ripped so we have a brand new builting shock in here um we have brand new control arms OE control arms we have the front control arm replac the rear control arm replaced we have the uh sway bar in link and then we also have the tie rod so all that's been refreshed all that's been new um this this rotor maybe should be replaced as well but it's good for now uh let's just go ahead and stop on the wheel and then we are good to [Music] go [Music] so Guys hours later it is literally 8:30 right now I don't if you guys can see my phone 8:30 p.m. and that is the time that we're actually starting to work on his e92 M3 this thing took an absolute big fart on us not to mention like the just everything kind of went wrong today but end of the day we got everything we need to get this thing back on the road and we are in such a Time scrunch we have to get this thing fully assembled in the next 6 or seven hours because Nick's going to be taking this thing basically 20 hours to Denver Straight driving which is going to be absolutely insane so we're we're definitely going to be testing our mechanical skills right here and uh this full build um and seeing if it honestly it'll make it with no hiccups that is honestly something we're both hoping on the fact that the coolant dumped and now it's not dumping anymore is a little strange um the fact that the starter was working yesterday and is not working today is a little strange and the fact that the thrott actuate is was working last week and all a sudden doesn't want to work anymore is a little strange so hopefully hopefully once we get everything sorted right now this car will be 100% ready Nick did actually go ahead and knock out all the other maintenance on the car so for the most part honestly once we actually do these throttle actuators and everything else he actually has the rod bearings from the previous owners they were definitely replac this thing should pretty much be bulletproof so fingers crossed after getting these next couple of hours into the car this thing will be ready for the drive but I guess only time will tell so we'll keep you guys posted but without further Ado let's go ahead and rip this engine bay apart one more time and get these throttle actuators installed and not to mention the starter because because that's what honestly left us stranded so yeah while Nick's actually working on this stuff right over here the throttle actuator starter and a brand new actually thermostat as well I'm going to be working on fully assembling this trunk fully assembling all this stuff and working on all the gaps and just getting this thing fully situated so he can put his luggage in here and take this thing back so let's get into time-lapse mode and just start knocking things [Music] [Music] out guys check this out this thing is flaming hot this has been a rebuilt so clearly the actually the previous owner did oh my God bro the pipeing hot what do you think I'm dealing with bro they are so hot so this definitely was rebuilt if I shake it I don't know if you guys can hear just a bunch of things moving inside of it and I'm pretty dang sure this isn't supposed to just fall out of there um I've never yeah that that that's a nogo so whoever that rebuilt these oh my God bro than just keep falling out of it who rebuilt these is there name on it rebuilded I have the receipt if you want to put them on blast but that I'm not really trying to put anyone on blast just kind of crazy they rebuild them I mean they did offer a lifetime warranty but since they're in La we just a such a shame any who thank the Lord that was our Smoking Gun super happy about that the next Smoking Gun was uh what was the other Smoking Gun oh we got the 2023 that looks gorgeous the next thing was it turns out oh my God bro look at that puddle oh my God so it turns out you replace the thermostat so when you're exhausted and been working for 12 or 15 however long we worked yesterday and you're too lazy to properly clean the the thermostat housing flange you get a puddle of coolant in the valley and basically what happened is all that coolant went back to the starter which is literally the starter sits right there I don't if you can see it that is the starter sitting right back there and basically after installing the thermostat we flooded our starter and that's the reason why everything started kind of failing at the same time our coolant leak our starter and who knows honestly even possibly our throttle actuators possibly possibly but to be honest this looks like this disintegrated from the inside this is not I mean it's not even wet actually no this was sitting kind of high they're on STS yeah I know they're on studs this isn't even wet so separate separate failure but again just kind of crazy I don't even how do that I've never actually had a thought I actually looks like this that is crazy anyo good news is we figured it out so without further Ado let's go ahead swap out both actuators replace this thermostat and get to that starter so hours later guys Nick is still working on getting those things out and uh I'm actually starting on the roof we pretty much got the trunk pretty much fully lined up I swapped out the lock on there got the BMW logo on there if I go and open the trunk as well we actually put in all the liners I did throw in the extra uh carpet right over here but as you guys can see all this is fitting perfectly for a car this for a car that got rended honestly everything sat absolutely perfectly super happy to see all that went ahead and slapped in some extra things in here that he's going to be swapping out once he actually gets back again we are in a super big rush and then the number one priority obviously is getting this thing driving but honestly while he's doing that because honestly it's a oneman job you don't want two people in the engine bay one man is good enough for the engine bay I'm going to go ahead and do what I do best which is wrapping roofs this thing has a super bad uh carbon pretty much like peel to it right here it looks like he actually tried repairing this area but instead made it a whole lot worse so what we're going to go ahead and do is sand down the areas that are super rough and go ahead and just wrap this complete roof in gloss black now obviously eventually Nick is probably going to go ahead and get this thing refinished in carbon fiber but in the meantime uh wrapping it black because it looks a whole lot better than this this just looks terrible and we don't have time right now uh to get that thing repaired properly guys it is 12:25 right now I really don't know what we're still doing here we really need to make sure this thing gets on the road Nick actually got the new starter installed he got the throttle actuators installed and the new thermostat installed so pretty much it's just reassembly time and I went ahead and also finished the roof on this car as well I think it came out super super nice so we got the gloss black roof the unfortunate thing is that this little section part of the clear coat of the carbon fiber roof is really showing through it but honestly if you stand like from right here you can't really tell anything's going on with the roof maybe the camera can pick it up cuz it's better quality than my eyes my eyes are kind of blurry you know what I'm saying for the most part this thing is looking so much better super happy at how it came out especially from the driver's perspective this thing looks super sick at this point the trunk is fully assembled which is the place of impact so technically the repairs of this car is 100% pretty much done we do need to reconnect pdcs other than that um yeah the roof is done uh what else the interior is pretty much good to go we just need a headliner not a big deal and like I said hopefully in a little bit here all of this will be reassembled so a couple more hours later we have the plum and everything else fully assembled I mean not really fully assembled we left a couple things off we want to go ahead and give the car its first startup before tightening up everything else and seeing if these Thro actuators actually work if we have a half check engine or everything is gravy in the Navy so that being said guys hopefully it's starts up which means our starter would be good if it does and like I said if the check engine light is gone that's a great thing and that means our throttle actuators are working and if we don't see any coolant leaks which means we did our thermostat properly and we did actually notice that there was an O-ring that was cracked that's probably the lead cause for the coolant leak this is nerve-wracking it is finally the moment to see if all of our work at this night was worth it all right guys Moment of Truth hit and Nick [Music] yes okay startup looking so far so good we still have a half check engine but that could be because oh the belts are a little [Music] wet is the RP oh but the RPMs at 6,000 which means that both of them are working I think you just need to go ahead and clear the codes we might be good earlier this car would not be able to pass 4,000 RPMs that's because one of the thuto actuators was bad so that's kind of a hint of finding out if a thought actuator is bad um at least one of them if basically your car won't even pass 4,000 RPM so yeah so far it Unleashed full RPMs which is kind of good we still have a chicken engine could be because we have to clear the codes but so far so good looking pretty promising so just like that guys this thing finally doesn't have a check engine light no lights on the dash starts up no problems super happy my man can finally go home he had his entire trip kind of planned for tomorrow and so many things got in front of our way but thankfully we still knocked it out it is 2:00 a.m. I'm super stoked to drive back home right now I'll try to have him send us some pictures once he actually gets back to Denver but again super happy how everything actually went down but without further Ado I think it's going to have to conclude the video again if I have some extra footage or photos I'll throw it in [Music] here and here's the best part of this un2 M3 no lights no airs no nothing just crossed the 206,000 Mi and it's still going strong so even the trunk it's unlocked all the carpeting is clean and then fits as OEM nothing's cracked everything's good to go so got the original license plates and then the original rockberry ings back here so all right guys and that is the end of the video so I hope you guys enjoyed I wasn't in the video too too much but nor Nick knocked out that e92 M3 it is looking really sick now he ended up fixing it here in Sacramento and drove it all the way back to Colorado all in the matter of like a day and a half so he went pretty crazy uh at the end of the trip he actually hit some hail so the M3 ended up getting hail damage right after we rebuilt it so that kind of sucks but he is still rocking it over there he is fully enjoying that car he did a lot of Maintenance as you guys saw spent a lot of money but now is currently enjoying a clean title e92 M3 that we all rebuilt so that is very very exciting so if you guys like these type of videos let us know down below make sure to comment as well uh if you guys want to see more builds like this and if so let us know what car we should do next with all that being said though guys make sure to check us out on Instagram naughty Auto Parts on Instagram make sure to check out my Instagram no's Instagram and I
