One thing is clear…you are pushing to become a full time TH-camr. Good for you! This is the way. No matter how often this has been done already, there is millions of us who want to see this over and over again on as many cars as possible…why? Cause we never will do it ourselves but dream of doing it, so you keep our dreams alive 😅🎉
The VIN Numbers are stamped into the back sides of those engines on the head as well as a couple other places, you should check and see if they match up or if buddy did the classic New York bait and switch on ya. Either way I look forward to seeing more videos on this thing!
I really like your new project as well as the work you have done so far. I started watching your channel in the early 996 days. You put a lot of effort into the filming and editing, no swelled head, and I hope you become as big as Mat and Tavarish. The multiple Matts was a hoot.
Probably one of the biggest reasons I found this channel is Porsche and BMW and now seeing one of these M3s I almost bought when I got my 991.2 911 very much looking forward to the build on this great choice.
I had a techno g80 xdrive comp in the garage for a few days for work and I turned everything off exactly once and said "Yup, now I know why so many of these are on copart". It's so much more car than anyone needs. Excellent daily.
hole in the block? dude definitely swapped out the engine and trans before giving it to the insurance. Explains why the trans shifter is not connected and most of the front end is missing.
bro he blew up the engine so he didn’t have warranty for the engine to get it repaired so he didn’t an insurance scam and rammed it with another car before insurance picked up the car he took all the goodies out lmao
If that's true, why remove the battery, remove the gills and wing but also take the transmission and break the stalk that shows mileage? Story doesn't check out...
@ the car was raped in the scrap yard most likely for whatever could be taken. A Li Ion battery is super expensive. They are trying their best to cover their tracks. Why do you think the owner just stopped replaying once Matt reached out? Cause he knows it’s a scam and doesn’t want to be implicated .
@@chrisbmw30 You think I don’t know this? What if the original owner was the person who stripped the car before signing the insurance papers? I’d say that’s way more likely.
Just 2 more m3s and the collection is complete! You and Chris Sullivan I think are the best up and coming automotive youtubers. You deserve so many more followers. They’re coming soon!
Hello from Ireland again, Matt. God, I do hope the engine is okay, I think it did get a Bang because the Steering airbag needs replacing. Good job getting it off that trailer, buddy. I can't wait for this build. 🙏🙏🥰👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
at first seeing this yellow g80, i was wtf. but then after just a moment it kinda hit me. its a really nice yellow and with the white interior it looks badass. and for sure not like the most of em out there looking all black, dark grey etc. this stands out.
Good Luck Matt, as always look forward to watching this build. Not a massive fan of the grille on this as it was i liked the previous model more but can't wait to see it done. 👍🏻👍🏻
I normally love BMW cars but never liked the front end redesign of the M3. Still a great car though and I’m sure Matt will have this thing up and running in no time
Always funny to see how much of a difference a little battery can make on newer cars. Will be interesting to follow this rebuild! I'm rooting for you, you can do this!
Looks like it’ll be an awesome build and can’t wait to see the progress! If you go full time with doing TH-cam it’ll be nice to hopefully get more frequent videos. Keep up the great work
Nice looking car.. can’t wait to see this build progress. Keep it up, I like how you just give stuff a go and make mistakes.. but ultimately learn from them. You and Matt Armstrong are my favourite car channels. I hope you get to do it full time soon. 👍
Commenting because I enjoy your content - and so you can do it full time! You have life by the horns, you should enjoy it (and make great videos for the rest of us)!!
Love the car!!! Not sure why you need it but, you have my full support! 😂😂😂 been a long time since I commented but I finally have the LS mockup in the e36...trying to decide if I'm going to use the Corvette ECU and wiring since it came with the motor...keep up the awesome work!!!!
This will be a next level build for your channel and I am stoked to see your G80 M3 come back to life! Just let me know if you need someone to babysit your 997 so you can have more room in the garage. Hey, just trying to help! 😀
you either need: - a flat concrete driveway with those tiny wheels on the carts - a set of larger wheels on the carts that can manage your bumpy driveway.
The white e30 gotta go... I love E30s as an owner myself but the white e30 is redundant with the M3 being around. Lots of projects and I think the driveway space is more beneficial. Rather see that time and effort in other projects. Super excited for this build!!
matt there will be a pyro fuse on the battery terminal it will have to be replaced before you can start it obviously with a new motor cheers from down under
Looks like it had a single turbo to get the milage hit the options button then at the top you can use the mpg page, set it to factory and it should display the milage without the stalk, also since it's tuned make 100% sure not to use the remote software upgrade as that will relock the ECU, good luck with the build!

Thanks so much! It’s my dream to do this everyday! With a bigger garage of course lol
@davorlalic4632 on the bright side, the new one is missing most of the front, so it will take up less space
"selling cars cause i dont have enough place" buys an new car instantly
To be fair, I got rid of two to get one new one.
"selling cars cause i dont have enough place, for another one"**
Perfectly fair and makes sense to me :D
@@matt13rossThat’s what she said
Start building a extra garage in front of your current
enough space for more cars***

I will never buy a car from New York its just so full of scammers and trashed cars.
I have heard of a guy that threw a 350z motor in a GTR before the insurance company took the car and yes it was in NY.
@@dirty2jz283 Ding ding ding... we have a scammer! Everything is textbook scam right down to the broken mileage stalk button...

I hope I get 1/4 there lol. Thank you!

What a car! Look forward to seeing it being built up again - best of luck.

I didn't think about that until a few of you commented. Good point!
yeah and the original owner probably stopped replying because he thought matt was a fed
your are tripping
@@matt13ross probably exactly what happened, the engine was swapped before it went to auction.. that's a nice problem to fix.
@@matt13rossbmw should be able to tell u if this engine came with this car.
delivery driver had patience and wicked attitude, need more like that
Poor guy had no idea what he was getting into lol
bro he blew up the engine so he didn’t have warranty for the engine to get it repaired so he didn’t an insurance scam and rammed it with another car before insurance picked up the car he took all the goodies out lmao
100%

I agree, Chris Sullivan's channel is the American Muscle version of Matt Ross, just Matt builds the European Cars.
Thanks so much! I want some corvettes added to my collection eventually.
Blew the engine, removed the mods, faked a crash, claimed insurance

Amazing choice !!!
I really like the spec
But I must say you are a very brave man to take such project ….
Can’t wait to see this build 👍
rt of your special approach is sharing the ups and downs in a real life environment.
Been following for years! Excited for this one!!!
In my opinion, I believe they replaced the engine and transmission because leaving the car without the battery could indicate that’s what happened.
Great looking spec. Looking forward to this build
Good Luck Matt, as always look forward to watching this build. Not a massive fan of the grille on this as it was i liked the previous model more but can't wait to see it done. 👍🏻👍🏻
Love the M3! Can’t wait to see more episodes restoring it. It’s going to be a great series!!
WOW! Absolutely gorgeous! Can’t wait to see you tune this BEAST!
Love the videos Matt! I just finished watching the entire 997 build series! keep up the good work!
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it!
Great project man !!!!!!! I´m looking forward to see it running already !!!!!
I normally love BMW cars but never liked the front end redesign of the M3. Still a great car though and I’m sure Matt will have this thing up and running in no time
Awesome project! Loving the efforts to grow the channel. All the best with the build and enjoy🎉
Love the new project Matt, and if I could like twice I would. Keep up the good work mate.
Always funny to see how much of a difference a little battery can make on newer cars. Will be interesting to follow this rebuild! I'm rooting for you, you can do this!
It will be great to watch your progress on this latest project!
love the videos, seeing the 997 was sick. excited to see the g80 come to life.
You inspire me to give rebuilds a shot at a home garage.....keep hustling!
Love the project so far🙏🏻
Nice Car! Excited to see the new project!

Keep up the great work
That's the plan!
Awesome project! Will be following along
Nice looking car.. can’t wait to see this build progress. Keep it up, I like how you just give stuff a go and make mistakes.. but ultimately learn from them. You and Matt Armstrong are my favourite car channels. I hope you get to do it full time soon. 👍
I’m messing up all the time and constantly learning!
Happy new year Matt 😊 what a great new project for early 2025 👍
Cool project!
Absolutely pumped for this build, love the Beamer content

Nice one matt! Can't wait to see the progress 😁
You are a legend for taking on a project of this caliber. Also, bringing us along for the ride is pretty sweet.
Thanks! I'm pretty excited about it.
loved the video man keep it up !
Excited to see this project!
Nice find
Enjoying the content
One of the better Automotive TH-cam channels. Enjoy all of your videos!
Appreciate that! I'm glad you like the content.
Never buy a car from NY .. they took that car’s engine and replaced with a blown one , you bought a Salvage Lemon salvage theft lemon 😅
yup.
Makes for good TH-cam content
@@matt13ross LS swap it
@ get me the serial number from the engine. I’ll let you know if it’s the original or not.
Will be checking it out soon
This will be a next level build for your channel and I am stoked to see your G80 M3 come back to life! Just let me know if you need someone to babysit your 997 so you can have more room in the garage. Hey, just trying to help! 😀
Ahahaha
Exactly what I’m trying to do, just started with my first car on Copart! F80 M3 is the goal!
Good luck with the new project, I can't wait to see what how it turns out.
you either need:
- a flat concrete driveway with those tiny wheels on the carts
- a set of larger wheels on the carts that can manage your bumpy driveway.
Great project
Dakar yellow 💛 👌🏻
Brotha you are gonna be big one day :D Great stuff
Nice! Excited for this build. Give that auto delivery guy a fat tip. 👍🏼
Nice buy Matt you've got your hands cut out with this build but I'm sure you'll sort it out 👍
Keep it up boss. Excited to see what happens when you go full time🎉
Love the new project ❤
Love your videos
Nice! Another project
Just found your channel yesterday great content and loving that you keep it real👌
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it!
look forward to this build,,, 🙂
this will be a great build series
Subscribed! Found your channel last week, been following your builds. I love E30s!
Thanks!!
good luck with the new project!
The white e30 gotta go... I love E30s as an owner myself but the white e30 is redundant with the M3 being around. Lots of projects and I think the driveway space is more beneficial. Rather see that time and effort in other projects.
Super excited for this build!!
Super excited to see this build I’m glad I’m here at the beginning! Been following you forever, Keep it up hope this can be your full time job!
I really appreciate you sticking with me!
Excited to follow the new build.
hello Matt Ross good video keep up the good work i am ekcited to see the project
I'm stoked. Next to the 997, this is going to be my favorite build.
This project I am excited to see!!
This car is sick! Cant wait to see how it goes for you!
matt there will be a pyro fuse on the battery terminal it will have to be replaced before you can start it obviously with a new motor cheers from down under
Good luck on the build and I hope you can do TH-cam full time very soon!
Looks like it had a single turbo to get the milage hit the options button then at the top you can use the mpg page, set it to factory and it should display the milage without the stalk, also since it's tuned make 100% sure not to use the remote software upgrade as that will relock the ECU, good luck with the build!
Good luck 👍🏽
