Nice to have a shop built car to drive. I know you guys are bimmer world but it would be nice to know the options for building the car to class and where you can add or save in the build. The little tip on the sleeving the brake line was nice.
While the parts were all sourced from BimmerWorld (of course) this car was built/assembled/etc by Phil and Carrie at their own home garage - not at the BimmerWorld shop. That was actually part of the entire reason for the build series, to show that a normal person, with normal tools, and yes with a garage but not a full team of people at their disposal can still certainly refresh an E36 and prep for a track day and eventually...racing. This was by no means a "no budget" build. It was just going through the car and taking care of all the known failure points and catching up on maintenance before having an issue at the track. You can certainly do little by little and fix and upgrade as time/money allows, but this was still a very VERY affordable way of making a fairly bulletproof car for Carrie to get comfortable with and not struggling through a weekend fixing the car instead of driving it. If you have any specific questions regarding a build of your own we'd be more than happy to talk you through any of the areas where you can best prioritize your money and labor to do the same.
about 5 minutes in - you talk about not running the anti-rattle clip is running the brass guide pin bushings. i have to admit, that's the first i've heard (having run brass for many years) and don't recall seeing it in the notes with the brass kit. that'd be a welcome addition if its not already there. are there any other consequences to not running the rattle clip with this setup? for cars that are street driven as well as track - is it still recommended to remove the clip? happy to chat offline if you'd prefer! thank you for producing these series - even having been around e36s for a long time, driving, instructing, etc. i still picked up new info....
@@TaylorGoesFast yup, understood - just saying it was the first time i've run across that note and it wasn't in previous instructions with the kit. just found it interesting. thought i would comment if it wasn't noted someplace or with the kit now that would be appreciated. sounds like it is noted so great!
That's awesome, congrats Carrie! But I suppose Phil gets to take a little credit...
I'm liking the build videos!
great content! looking forward to the w2w racing!
Welcome to SE36 Carrie!

That note is pretty prominently displayed on the listing for the brass caliper bushings.

How many years? ;) That was a test Phil and you passed
