Hi mate iv been an avid follower of your channel since the start. You was my inspiration to make my channel. Was wondering if you have any advice on how to grow my car related channel. And ask maybe if you would mind adding my channel to your subscription list?. Long shot but worth a try lol
I helped a friend buy a new car last week and deliberately used a competitor to do the checks for this exact reason, too much advertising turns me away! Have used Car Vertical with the Autoalex code previously though so it still sort of works...
Auto Alex has become my favorite car related youtube channel. And yes can confirm as Merican that seeing you on the correct side with the steering wheel put me at ease.
Oddly you also want the headlight switch. This has mileage coded into it and I think you might get the tamper light show on the dash if you plug a different one in. Why it has mileage coded into it I don't know! You want the washer bottle and any mounts too. I also have an E46 M3 touring and love it!! PS Wiring loom is very straight forward to modify, from memory you pretty much just need to add the wires for rear doors. You should cutout and keep the boot floor as this is M3 specific due to the exhaust. It comes out pretty easily but tbh you would do well to just cut the rear of the car off and poke it someone in the garage as that will have rear wings parts and boot floor for you to use. Interior mirror is also M3 specific and I think the ABS unit (despite looking the same) is also different and should be kept. There were two versions installed in the E46, the red M3 one is the later type (not sure on your touring) but if they are different you might need to keep wiring + sensors (yaw etc) from the M3. Suspension, brakes, subframes (basically everything mechanical) bolts right in.
@@drewdavis239 I believe its an MSS54. My donor car was a 2004 M3 and has the ecu and full wiring loom from that. It has the later ABS/TC with the M button enabled - which I think was a CSL thing. Mine is an SMG car with an Evolve map on it.
From what I hear this operation of making an m3 touring, which has been done before, is not actually that hard, but finding the exact little pieces you need can be a NIGHTMARE. Also the programming will be very annoying, flashing the body control module to be a touring but the ECU to an m3, with some custom hex code to make them talk to eachother
Taylor has such great taste in cars, everytime I see his garage my jaw drops, especially when I see the classic BMWs, and great to see what shape he keeps them in!
Man, if only you knew how much I need some of this sweet content. If it was 40min, I would watch it all the way through and feel like I just watched a 10min vid. This one alone felt like a YT short video, didn't notice how quickly the 15mins went by
Love all the video but it's nice to see the engine work mechanical side of things. Hope we see more of that detail going forward. Comedy, fun and interesting and you're on a winner!
Mighty car mods defined a generation. Taylor mentioning them allows the culture to continue. Alex bringing us himself, is the reason we are here. The circle is complete for my old arse.
As a serial BMW E30 and E46 owner I'm loving your content and presentation. One small thing, having spent my life welding and fabricating, Taylor, please wear goggles when grinding. It's all to easy to damage your eyes.
"Hit it over a table leg and you get more wallop" lmfao 🤣 Great video Kev, from a recent subscriber of similar vintage... I remember a few of the 80's/90's rc's, had a V2 Grasshopper back in the day. You've got me hooked again and got a banggood special HBX16889a pro to get me back into it... great little truck, tough as anything. I'll stop waffling now 😂
Love it, true dream car build, I have never really liked BMWs, as an avid Volvo pre 2004 and general brick car fan, this is the kinda BMW I would like indeed
That 528 that Taylor has is identical to the one my uncle had back in the early to mid eighties His 528 was a 4 speed manual and is the car that switched my uncle from being a Ford man to always having bmw afterwards.
@12:12 😂😂 good old days! Mate just wait until you reach your 50s, and one random morning you will realise that magically one problem is solved forever 😂😂😂
Good video I enjoyed that. Alex is that friend that offers to help you buy a car......but you would prefer your pet dog to help you out instead!! Well done boys
Hey Taylor good job mate! I was thinking that you lost quite some weight and you confirmed it at the end of the episode! Keep it up you are looking great!
Ask Taylor if he'd buy a Mercedes ml320 v6.....or at the moment v5 but totally worth the journey. You could use it as a random car to do up or just destroy in some way! Love yours vids bro had to join up more support more videos looking forward to more builds
A known foible of E46 M3’s is cracking the boot floor. Are you looking into reinforcing the boot floor and subframe mounts before you give the Touring the full beans?

500k subs 🎉 congrats! Fabiaaa 😄🤞🤟👍
Are you welding the kit on? I’m building an m3 touring but I bought a fibreglass kit
Car vertical are literally becoming the Raid Shadow Legends of any automotive video.
I helped a friend buy a new car last week and deliberately used a competitor to do the checks for this exact reason, too much advertising turns me away! Have used Car Vertical with the Autoalex code previously though so it still sort of works...
It's either them or Carly, lmao.
I'd still take it over raid, atleast both this and the shit Carly thing (which I have sadly) are relevant to the content
i’d rather see car vertical than raid shadow legends 😂
Car Vertical is actually a useful tool. Any mobile game is not useful or practical in any sense!
Still think taylor is the best thing to happen to TH-cam this year!
100%...love watching the two of them together, such a brilliant chemistry between the two of them and its really genuine.
Couldn’t agree more
he's the fresh air of banter and newer generation we needed
Definitely Taylor is the magic ingredient in your videos 😀
Best thing that happend to youtube is that Alex left car throttle and made his own channel.
Auto Alex has become my favorite car related youtube channel. And yes can confirm as Merican that seeing you on the correct side with the steering wheel put me at ease.
For me it's him and DannyDC2, who i discovered when he was a guest on the carthrottle podcast
I don't know how he put out 1 good vid in last 3 months
@@manilove2pwn go away then loool
An M3 touring in that colour has to be one of the coolest builds happening on TH-cam currently, surely
2nd behind the P1 being rebuilt
Unless it's done properly its not worth it ie swap all the arches bumpers subframe exhaust etc
@@lukecowell7516 what would make it not worth it? Seems youre poking holes in something perfectly fine for no reason.
@@samoc235 the P1 second to this* 😂
Mat Armstrongs GT3 is also one of the coolest being rebuilt
12:12 the Morning Wood bit absolutely had me in stitches 😂
I loved the shoutout to MCM - you're a man of class, Taylor!
Love the content, but I'd love to see longer episodes and some more footage of the cars actually being worked on.
Love Bruno’s commentary on the engine, hope to see more of him
500k subscribers getting so close. Congratulations Alex & co liked and shared to help this video.
That's it

i still remember back when you had the lemon e36 m3, i remember how badly you wanted an e36 m3 touring back then, i guess some dreams do come true
Colin 😃
I passed my driving test yesterday boisss, keep up the amazing work Alex and the team
Congrats bro 👌

you taylor and bruno are so bloody great together..deffo more of this please
I hope it will look just as great as the original BMW E46 M3 Touring concept car!
Love it ❤ i wouldn't get rid of the shell till you've finished you may need more parts
Love all the video but it's nice to see the engine work mechanical side of things. Hope we see more of that detail going forward. Comedy, fun and interesting and you're on a winner!
Congratulations on 500k subs ❤❤
I think I would thoroughly enjoy working with Taylor. He seems to face the same hardships as I do and his coping mechanisms are extremely similar too.
Bruno is the absolute man for bmw engines
Mighty car mods defined a generation. Taylor mentioning them allows the culture to continue. Alex bringing us himself, is the reason we are here. The circle is complete for my old arse.
Your M3 Touring needs Alpha-N with CSL-style carbon intake-box. Nothing beats that induction noise 🔊
Nice project progress Alex - half a million subs, too !!!!!!!
As a serial BMW E30 and E46 owner I'm loving your content and presentation.
One small thing, having spent my life welding and fabricating, Taylor, please wear goggles when grinding. It's all to easy to damage your eyes.
another m3 gone..let's hope the touring will be finished and made as good as possible
keep up the good work
These bmw episodes need to be longer
You do it, you do a better impression of Peter! Why, because I have a gut?😭😭😭
Love this kind of content well done boys
You gotta cut the rear quarter panels off and weld onto the touring. Not an M3 without the wide arches
Auto Alex has quickly become my favourite channel.
i like turtles
Good for you
I like trains
I've got a turtles head poking out.
I like you
I'm happy for you
Those classics are real beauties.
Funny, good music, interesting content! Congrat guys!
"Hit it over a table leg and you get more wallop" lmfao 🤣 Great video Kev, from a recent subscriber of similar vintage... I remember a few of the 80's/90's rc's, had a V2 Grasshopper back in the day.

When I see a new upload for this channel I literally poo my pants with the anticipation😮
Really makes my day❤
Loving the beamer build 👌
Alex must be so much fun to work with 😂
Yeah.. FUN.... ......
Why not put the engine on the trailer? Amazing video guys!
Rain, parts falling off, having to secure it more rigidly, ease of height when removing it from the back of the car :)
Lots of cool cars in this vid, but it's that Pug at 6:40 that got me excited
Little shout out to Mighty Car Mods!
Nicely done!
Love you guys never stop watching this Can't wait next one coming 😊
Love it, true dream car build, I have never really liked BMWs, as an avid Volvo pre 2004 and general brick car fan, this is the kinda BMW I would like indeed
Looking forward to the next episode🙌🏽
Taylor always has so many tasty motors for sale
Wow that m3 touring will just blast besides all bmws existing
Cheered me up as usual, thanks guys
4:30 reminds me off giving my little brother a unplugged controller.
Bruno looks so different and his face.
He got quite slim.
I'm over here boosting the "just as good" M54 in my 330ci 😅
Mr Bruno sounds like an F1 driver. Great man!
Louis: “Bruno my tires are gone!”
@@AaronShenghao :D
Really enjoying this episode. Looking forward to the end result...
BDS Motorsport.........
What a name. 😂😂
is bruno portuguese? I am a Portuguese subscriber! continue with these top videos
500k is in sight. So wish I could be the 500,000th, but I can’t unsubscribe for a single second to make that happen, no way Sir!!!
That 528 that Taylor has is identical to the one my uncle had back in the early to mid eighties
His 528 was a 4 speed manual and is the car that switched my uncle from being a Ford man to always having bmw afterwards.
You and Taylor exude pure ADHD energy when with each other and I am all for it.
Amazing gents ! This is a great build !
Don't diet Taylor, you don't need to
@12:12 😂😂 good old days! Mate just wait until you reach your 50s, and one random morning you will realise that magically one problem is solved forever 😂😂😂
What about the arch liners to fit the wider M3 wings?
Rounding off every bolt is peak motor mechanics
Best build on the whole internet….I’ve checked
He's not kidding when he says those seats are heavy. Did my back in. Hurt for a long time.
Just love ur vids Guys, always hilarious, u must have such fun
Time to collaborate with Calvin for the M3 touring content. 👍
What a well ‘rounded’ video 😉 great stuff lads 😊
Good video I enjoyed that. Alex is that friend that offers to help you buy a car......but you would prefer your pet dog to help you out instead!! Well done boys
I think you should do the job properly and cut and graft the rear flared arches onto the wagon
That feeling when Alex posts a new video 🤩
Hey Taylor good job mate! I was thinking that you lost quite some weight and you confirmed it at the end of the episode! Keep it up you are looking great!
That MG is gorgeous!!
Good to see Bruno again 👍
Look at all those coppery rod bearings. What a marvellous sight to behold.
Bruno must be working hard... the mans half the size
That E46 is a lovely colour
Ask Taylor if he'd buy a Mercedes ml320 v6.....or at the moment v5 but totally worth the journey. You could use it as a random car to do up or just destroy in some way! Love yours vids bro had to join up more support more videos looking forward to more builds
I have never seen one of those Bearings with that much bronze color, that came from a still driving M3. :D WOW
When is part 3
Please buy a cheap shell for the touring and leave Barney as it is!! That manual 330i is too nice to destroy
A known foible of E46 M3’s is cracking the boot floor. Are you looking into reinforcing the boot floor and subframe mounts before you give the Touring the full beans?
What about the rear wheel arches?
Nearly half a million subs! Go on ppl!
The MightyCarMods shoutout
499k subs nearly at 500k Alex 🎉
You need to use an impact gun on the wing screws. Yes sounds OTT, but they must be shocked off. Can still cut a slot and chisel them until they're loose
Bruno! Bruno! Bruno!
Nearly 500k, Congratulations in advance
Since you took off the fenders, won't you be needing the inner wheel arch linings as well ?
4:24 homie love
Hope you do the rear bumper and arches too. Would look weird just the fronts only 🤦♂️. Looking forward for next episode
This is gunna be nuts
My favorite TH-cam Chanel 👌
Loving Taylor’s safety squints 😂
How much safety? _All_ the safety! 😉
@@danielseelye6005 going to do some sketchy shit, do dah, do dah, hope I get away with it, do da do dah day 😆
Half a million soldiers!!!! Let's go
13:38 you've given away BMW secret in causing all e46 rust-seed. Non-galvanised brackets.
I think Bruno was impressed with that engine ..
