BMW E36 Purple Tag Swap DIY
Join me swapping a purple tag E46 steering rack into my E36 Coupe. It's a simple job to complete and results in a massive drivability improvement! In this video I go step by step through the process of removing the old steering rack and installing the new upgraded purple tag system.

Will this ever end. Probably not, my lease doesn't run out for another 3 years so get used to a new engine swap monthly. Follow me in this video removing the engine from our freshly registered budget coupe, and re-homing it in an E36 Compact! Making way for the new M50, why not give the old m42 a second lease on life in this sweet little red clown car? Follow us on instagram! lows...

With the bodywork finished on the e30, it's finally time to start wrapping! This part I finally get to see the colour I chose and we wrap the sides of my e30. A couple more days and we should have it all complete! Music: Artist: FREDDY KONFEDDY soundcloud.com/freddykonfeddy/hop-out

Getting the bodywork finished on the e30. Using body filler for the first time was a bit of a challenge but I'm pleasantly surprised by how good the final result is. All makes a difference when it comes to the finished product! Music: Artist: Soultapes soundcloud.com/soul_tapes/sold_tapes-001 Artist uglyyyy soundcloud.com/kaynives/neonreflection

Main sanding done on my BMW E30. Hope this is helpful and gives you a little more insight into doing the job yourself. Starting with 180 grit sandpaper I've removed the peeling clear coat to prepare for wrapping my car. I also take off the rear bumper to get everything nice and clean!

Showing the trim removal process on my BMW E30. Hope this is helpful and gives you a little more insight into doing the job yourself. Should save you a bit of time & money by disassembling yourself before taking it to a paint / wrap shop.

BMW E30 Tunnel Run 4K
มุมมอง 6014 ปีที่แล้ว
First day allowed out of our 5km in Melbourne Australia we went on a little trip to shoot my E30 in the Mulla Mulla tunnel. The drive up there was too much fun after being unable to drive for so long. It made for some perfect rollers with a bit of time-lapse that I shot on the way there and back.

Shot within Melbourne's lockdown, took my 1990 E30 for a brief run up the Dandenong ranges to grab some lunch. Shot these rollers on the way and mounted angles on the way back down. The drive up was gorgeous and I can't wait to take some proper trips around Melbourne when restrictions ease.
From an older biker………don’t worry about it. Put it down to experience AND thank your Guardian Angel that you are not in an electric wheelchair with one of those little joysticks, dribbling out of the corner of your mouth , your face contorted….you get the picture. We’ve all done it. But , the important thing is to analyse exactly what happened so it never happens again. What did you think to the Delkevic exhaust btw ?
100% very thankful that things went the way that they did at slow speed. Exhaust was great! Installation was not easy, and no instructions provided, but value for money was great. Had a really great tone to it.
Where'd you get the wrap? I'm trying to wrap my e28 tooooo!
Hey mate, this is an Avery Dennison wrap. Needs to be supplied via wrap shop or other distributor!
@ Thank you!!
For sale?
I plan on doing this with a m54 from a e46 I just can’t seem to understand the whole wiring and ecu aspect😭
Not only did I learn about cars, I learnt about girlfriends. One happy customer. Thanks James!
don't even know about cars and can't stop watching this guy - keep it up Lowsimmer
who's here in 2024?
thank god you listed all the bolt sizes i can never figure them out :(
loved this, so satisfying to watch
Great video James. Thanks for taking the time to explain the process and putting the spanner/socket sizes on the screen was helpful! 👏
This was great, those wheels fit great, and the new voice over guy is great! cant wait to get him to voice over my videos too!
Love a quick rack swap, very informative thanks James 😘
Holy cow! Thanks james im gonna do this to my sick project now! Keep it up ya mad dawg
When you giving me a steer cuzzy
Z3 racks are even shorter at 2.7 lock to lock. much harder to find in good condition know though. purple tag best of availability and ratio. keen to see her roll again.
I actually didn't know that! 2.7 is nuts
Andy gibing out all the secrets
Can you redo this video but in my e30 and just gift me the rack? Thanks in advance
I’ll gift you the rack if you gift me the three piece work wheels 🛞
Yeah agreed
Wow very informative, thanks James! Planning to do this same swap on my 1995 Hellrot 316i cumslut when i have to take the motor out, will definitely be returning to make sure i do it right!
P.s. you are very handsome with a soothing voice <3
Nice
What a great video! Can't wait to put this exact same purple tag in my car when you are arent watching
Ill defs be using this as a cheat code for when I do it to my 36 when the engines out!
Good idea bro
Holy moly those VWs in the background get me rock solid
You get my rock solid
You rock my solid until i VWs in the background
Good thing you’re solid, those VW’s certainly aren’t 🔧
Bloody oath 💦
Nice color! How did you remove those vents @0:27?
Thankyou! Trying to remember, I believe you can push it downward to pop the top section out, and then slide them upwards and out. Definitely remember them being a bit fiddly.
@@lowsimmergarage Great, thanks bro
Just came across this. Perfection on that wrap. What would you estimate your total cost?
Thanks mate! I paid around $1000 for wrap material, and $400 on all tools, sandpaper, filler, primers for paint
I am looking forward to the bmw ASMR video! Keep posting videos 👌
Man that guy really got a sick old Mercedes for that crusty old compact!
This sounds suspiciously like someone that lost out on an immaculate compact 🤨
Kudos! keep it going. Gonna subscribe, and give a like. Gotta keep up w. my own project as well, in week or 2 I'm introducing my e36 individual to the channel, so be sure to sheck that out! Like, subscribe and keep watching how i save this old guy from the dumpster :)
hey Dude it looks nice!! can u tell me the name of the wheels? Greatings from Germany
Thankyou man! Of course, they’re three piece Work wheels - Workmeister M13P (These ones have been re-lipped to get a perfect offset)
I didn't know you cam do this . I wouldve boight my modified car baxk in thw days and use it as a donar car when i buy the same car
Super clean 318is, can't wait to see the m50 in that unit.
Thankyou man, me too 🙌
Just curious if you know a part number or what those grommets are called that are used to hold the paint matched part of the rain gutter on behind the rear window? I’m dealing with those currently and all of mine are already broken
Yeah man, part number is 51131870459 for the grommets and 51131904479 for the gasket!
I like this kinda content.E30 looks great Subscribed all the way from Pretoria, South Africa.
Thanks for the support!
This is a great video. Can't wait to swap an m42 into my compact and use this as a guide!
hell yeh! keen for part 2 now!
HULA GARAGE TINGS
Good for you guys! Well done!
Thank you!
The fact that the insurance company classified that damage as a right off is borderline criminal. It is literrally aesthetic damage to the front end. Glad you got it back for her 👏
Thankyou man. Cost me $80 in parts to repair all damage, crazy that it was written off!
You can use second hand parts to repair, the insurance can't, they have to use new parts and they pay for labour too. They'll have got the money for the salvage, so add that up, and it's a write off.
Ouch! How much damage did they do with that forklift? I did the same with my wife's E36 318i m42 5 years ago. We still have now and will keep it forever. Well done!
Funny you say that! I didn’t show in the video but the wheels we had on it at the time are completely bucked on the inside 😂 Very glad we swapped them out before it left for the auction.
@@lowsimmergarage We did the same, we took of our alloys and put the standard wheels back on before the insurance came to collect the car. When we bought it back we were able to reunite them with the repaired car.
awesome work dude! I love the color of the car! Is that a factory color?? I’ve never seen it before
Thankyou man! Yes it’s AtlantisBlau, usually an E30 colour but as this is a very early e36 I’d say it just crossed over?
Wow that hellrot compact in the background is super neat. Some lucky guy must own that weapon!
cant wait to see your projects coming along😄💯
The everyday person can never understand what 'that car'/my car' can really mean to a Car Person. It becomes part of you. Even more if you've put your own sweat and emotional energy into working on or restoring it. My E46 coupe meant the world to me. I rebuilt then restored it from the ground up. It was the car I learnt to spanner on. Started a lifelong obsession with cars and Beemers in particular. I was genuinely depressed when it was hit and destroyed by a bloke in a stolen car. "The thing was 20 years old. What's the big deal? You'll get an insurance pay out" the copper said to me. He didn't get it. I just wanted MY car and the great memories! You've got a good one there mate and she's got a beaut of a chariot too! Well done! Would love to see some more work on it. PS isn't OrientBlau such a beautiful Beemer colour!
Thankyou man, awesome to hear your story too! That’s actually exactly what was said about this e36 “wow don’t worry you’ll get a good payout”. But that’s not what matters hey. Means a lot more than that 🤞 (Ps. AtlantisBlau 207, super similar colour)!
Wow, I've not seen a genuine reaction like that from someone in a long time! I'm glad your girl is happy, nice one for doing it for her. :)
just to clarify how much just a " piece of metal" as they call it means to someone.. not everyone understands us
Agreed 👏
<3 <3 <3 Really cool stuff
So cut ❤
This is the sweetest thing 🥺
👏👏👏
What a journey! We love a fast turn around and now she’s back on track to being a fun build! 🎉
Looks really smart. Makes me want to wrap mine. How do you maintain it?
Thankyou man! I use an Autoglym car wash (one of the few I’ve found that specifically states it’s safe on vinyl) and a Bowdens own hydrophobic protectant
what dash mat do you have?
Not sure sorry mate, came with the car
