that looks unreal, well done mate

Can't wait for the interior. This thing is so clean it's absurd.

I just came to say this as we wait for the Ferrari reveal. I want to know when we see what’s next for this interior and all the other projects.

Probably my favorite modification I made to my e30 when I built it was re pinning all of the lock cylinders to the new ignition barrel I had to buy, e30’s usually have different door and ignition keys but all of mine are keyed to one. No one will ever notice it but it gives me such satisfaction every time I drive the car.

This was such an excellent series - the cleanliness puts my car to shame lmao. Really excited to see the interior!

Heck yeah Mike! Thanks for the continued support and shout outs 🙏 always glad to be a part of your builds.

LOVE your reasoning to keep the non-M mirrors. I do the same on my cars. I love the square mirrors. It's a great little cue to people who know the cars too, to know it's not a real M car. Ambers look incredible against your paint color too, good choice.

@@stanceworks the other side benefit is that the viewable area of the M3 mirrors is SMALL 😅. It becomes even more apparent during a track day where everything is faster than you 🤣

Am I the only one who is more interested in the E36 than the ferrari? Also I found this channel because of the E36

This has been a great build!

I really like the look of the rear louvre. I hope you get around to installing it. It would look great with lux pkg front bumper insert!

The E36 turned out really good. Hope to see more of the Kerrari soon.

Car looks fantastic and the front splitter is my favorite detail. As for the mirrors I agree that the M3 mirrors do not look right to the boxy shape of the car. One thing I always notice when I see an E36 are the little rows of bumps on the inside side. Those are there to remove wind noise and I always thought them to be a cool detail. Lastly the locks should always be assembled with plenty of powdered graphite to keep them working smooth for a long time. Any kind of liquid lubricant will only dirty up your key/pocket and will attract dust. A small tube of powdered graphite is available at Lowes or Home Depot where they sell keys. Thanks also for the shout out. It means a lot and it is great to be even a tiny part of the channel.

I love that this car was my wallpaper years ago and it’s still around and being loved. Kudos Mike! 🤘🏻

Wow, that beast looks magnificent! I wasn't sure about the amber tails, but seeing them, I agree with your call! Great taste and excellent work. Cant wait to see what the new project is!

Congrats. The attention to the details is what I enjoyed. Car looks fantastic!

Clearly the “driver mod” you reviled at the end is the best change since the build started all those years ago 😝 . may we all be peaceful happy kind and full of joy.

Your E36 looks killer. It must feel great to get it out on the road after sooo many years and to see it refreshed to such a high level. Congrats!

Love the LPL reference. I've rekeyed more than one lock cylinder in a vintage car, great job figuring it out! Fwiw, if you don't have the correct tumblers for the keys as you did, you can just delete a tumbler. You can also modify individual tumblers using a file in some cases.

Cars like this are the reason that E36 prices are where they are - because we want one!

Awesome to see the work done to this car finally paying off. Awesome job Mike

It looks amazing!I love the color!Cant wait to see the interior work!

Fantastic job, especially tackling the re-keying of the locks!

Absolutely sick videos as always, liked your rollers in the sunset, and also spied you using your new tech in the garage to film a moving time lapse, and the dismantling of the key lock barrel was ballsy!!

After building an e46 Xi sedan 15 years ago and then attempting to restore and build an OEM+ e39 m54 wagon, I swore off BMWs and German cars and stick the Hondas I know and love. Cooling system and various sensors got the best of me on both those cars. Your incredible e36 build has got me in wanting another BMW!!! I really love how e36, e46, and e39 generations drove; one of my faves next to an S2000. As soon as I hit the "Comment" button, probably going to Google e46 M3 or e39 wagon. Maybe this time around I'll see what it takes to build a turbo K24 swap or a Tesla EV swap. BMW driving experience + Honda reliability and ease of maintenance; best of both worlds.

I absolutely LOVE this build bro, So glad this build means so much to you, it really shows with how clean it is…Can’t wait for the rest as I part my E36 together❤️😎🤙

Very nicely done Mike. I've enjoyed watching all of your builds since you started on the Tube.

This is everything i expected and more, cant wait to see the interior! Props to you my man!

Wow, sick build. I totally have enjoyed the process of many of your builds. Love this one! I need to look at a set of the M3 mirrors, never noticed that they were not the same!

OMG that green on the euro M3 is amazing!!! And your build makes one wonder if they're going to modify an E36, a non-M3 might be the best starting point - so well done!

The amber tail looks so much better! Glad you put them on! Always nice to see updates about your E36!

for a while, I beleived that I was the only one hating e36 and e34 M3/5 mirrors! The original tail lights

1000% agree with you on all the decisions made in this video. And love that you still have the Tennessee plate on that car.

I have always loved the look of e36's but this is making me want one so much more!!

Wow its pretty crazy to finally see this thing in action. Been following you for a long time Mike!

Love what you did with the locks. I was saying it to myself when you mentioned it. Was like hella yeah, I played with locks as a way to understand being atm tech support back in the day. 🤘🔥😎🔥🤘

This is by far my favorite build of yours thus far. Quality build

Absolute treat! Can't wait for the final episode.

epic work Mike! The E36 is forever one of the most special cars on this channel. Can't wait to learn about the interior.

Remote entry would be killer..... old school chirp alarm. That interior should be tight. I'm loving the slick top! Congrats so far......

Love your content ... don't care what car it is, don't care what the "extent" of content it is. Just an amazing channel that I refresh my KZread to see if there's a new vid. Much Love and Keep Motoring!

Really clean example, fantastic work 👏

Man those slow rollers and sunset photography was the best I've seen on this channel and downright stunning. Great work the car looks incredible!

This is the first video I’ve seen from you. Just got my first job offer out of college and can’t wait to buy my e36. Subscribed, good luck on 100k

200% agree on the m3 mirrors. same feeling on the e39 M mirrors

Congrats! Fantastic work! Funny opinion about the M mirrors, as it’s one of the things I love about my M3. I tell people all the time that the main reason I bought it was the color (Techno Violet, the mirrors and the Vader seats. Enjoy that beauty!

Congrats on 100K Mike, best auto youtube channel hands down !!!

One of the best M3 I've seen 👏 👌. Love the restoration

Thank you so much for sharing, this video brought back a lot of good memories 🙏😁👍

man, the e36 is in amazing shape!! Love the project and the enjoyment in your voice says it all.

Great work, great episode well done. Mike can't wait to see the next project

Nice job on the door lock cylinders. Way to make it work!

coming together very nicely. Enjoying this e36 content!

Dude I’m so stoked for you!

Looks absolutely incredible, you did an amazing job bringing it back. Also, 100% agree on your stance against M3 mirrors on the E36. I actually didn't know that they're lopsided.

Simple and classy build Mike 👌🏻

Excellent job! I've been itching to see this finished for so long, just sitting on the hoist patiently waiting for its turn, now it's done! I think the LED rear lights look great, but you'd have to match it with clear corners on the front as well, losing the amber colour in my eyes modernises the look of the older BMW'S in a great yet subtle way.

The E36 looks amazing. I see that you are in the south land and I hope to see you out on the road to congratulate you on all the great work you put in the E36, the 308 and all the cars that you rebuild.

Thanks Mike!

You make a solid point about the OEM side mirrors. The shape is odd with a boxy design language of the E36, but I personally still think they look cool. Especially with that cool blue tinted glass they came with. Love your car Mike! Congrats!!

Completely agree with you regarding the mirrors, Hartge>everything else. Excellent steering wheel choice too 👌🏻

this video was a banger. real dope to see the e36 in a finished form. cant wait to see this thing roaming the roads of socal!

I want my E36 M3 to look like this, this is soooo clean. I absolutely love the wheels

I've been waiting awhile for you to finish the e36. You did a good job 👏 👍 I dig it. I'd add the louvers 😉🤙

Super clean dude, and nice shout out for LPL - there is a surprising amount of crossover between car guys and LPL and vice versa.

Awesome vid. I’m sure it must be amazing to have it finally on the road. Well done

Looks sick I like it, and you make a good point about the M3 Mirrors. I am in the throws of my own E36 resto project. Searching for years to find an Alpine white coupe, since I was finally able to afford one. The one I found needs a lot of work but this one will never leave my possession. I have let far too many of them go in the past and I regret it.

Absolutely stunning in every way. This channel is so good, such high quality, and visually gorgeous with the video footage.

Great non “M” mirror choice… always felt that way about the e36 m3 mirrors as well.. really loving this build I look forward to every episode can’t wait to do the same to my e36 sedan!

This is the car that made me fall in love with BMWs. I remember seeing a photo of one in a tire ad while I was flipping through a magazine before a marketing class in college. It made such an impression that I remember that moment ~25 years later. Mike, you’re an artist.

Congratulations on the build, and on hitting 100K subs! It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy! 🎉🎉🎉

I've always liked the e36 chassis and this build has convinced me I need to buy one!

Thank you! Finally someone to understand that the M3 mirrors don't follow the boxy lines of the E36... So many people told me to put M3 mirrors on my car and I'm glad someone else shares my opinion. Awesome looking car, so much attention to details... Great job!

Looks fantastic great job

100k congratulations dude you deserve it !

Looks great Mike Enjoy!!!!!!

congrats on 100K, honestly still think this channel is very underrated.

It looks great, the interior will match perfectly with it!

Congrats on the milestones man

Absoloutely incredible 🙌🏼

Such a clean build man🔥

Freakin awesome, Mike. NGL, this has made me interested in the e36 platform; ever thought about doing like a wiki type video? All the different models, motors, transmissions, how much they all cost, stuff like that. Would be cool (though labor intensive I’m sure) for the unwashed like myself. Obvs all this stuff is on the Google; there’s just something different about hearing it from an enthusiast

Well I will vouch that the E36 platforms was one of the best to ever hit the road. The class of vehicle, for what it is, is unparalleled by anything out there on the road now. They are the smoothest best driving vehicle I have ever owned. They can also be the worst vehicle to own at times. Let me explain. E36's have these nasty little gremlins some times that make you just want to rip our your hair and dump salt on your head. As terrible as that sounds, I would never have it any other way. Once you finally drag that gremlin out and beat the shit out of it you experience probably one of the best feelings of accomplishments on the planet. Each E36 truly has a personality of its own and out of the 7 I have owned since 2008 I have never met 2 E36's that had the same personality. They are quirky cars but fun as hell and will always turn heads. Bottom line you take care of the car, it will take care of you. Don't let maintenance problems go unaddressed. What I tell those that have owned these and told me they are horrid is exactly this. "Well if you had just fixed it properly instead of fly by nighting shit on this vehicle platform it wouldn't have been a pain in the ass or nearly as expensive." I could go on for days about the E36. Buy one. You wont regret it. However I'd do it soon cause the prices on these are skyrocketing.
