      So let me get this right. You’ve got it had a loan car deal from BMW GB, you are working on a BMW and you are not using OEM parts. I suspect had you asked them BMW would have helped with the supply of genuine parts. They did for the wheeler dealers 635 back in the day!

    Alex please don’t promote Yorkshire Car Restorations. I’ve seen a few other comments here saying the same, but they’ve screwed me and dozens of other people over. Steve had my car for A YEAR for restorations, sent it for an MOT and it failed on rust he was meant to repair. He then *allegedly* caused £1400 worth of damage when he welded through my wiring loom, which was rectified when I took it elsewhere having had enough of a year’s worth of deception. I’ve got hundreds of messages with Steve detailing all the failings.

    That is exactly why I haven't purchased a very tempting E30 325is. The guy is selling it here in Paraguay for the equivalent of 4000 pounds and he's got nearly twice that into it. Parts are super hard to come by here, and really expensive. Few people know how to work on them and they're rusting out. I'd LOVE to own one but I know it'll just become a black hole for money. If you're not a content creator with a following big enough to get stuff for free, you'll go bankrupt, never get it working properly and never see your money again.

    I love how chilled Taylor is in these episodes. Taylor is very much like a father in this, let me set the scene and explain.
    Taylor arrives to the garage on a sunny Sunday morning while the family are still asleep. It's been a 90 hour week at graft and he finally has a minute to himself. Birds tweet, hot tea in hand he opens the garage door to be greeted by the headlights of his BMW.
    He quietly opens the bonnet, examines, fettles and tinkers enjoying the nirvana of tinkering in solitude which so rarely he finds himself in.
    Enter Alex:
    "Hi Dad!!!! What's this do?! *Coolant all over the floor* here's your 10mm!! *Tool box hits the deck*.
    Taylor: FML.....

      @@ScottM5 sent mine to them in May 2022, didn’t get it back until June 2023. Steve sent my car for an MOT after I’d already spent £2k with him and it failed on RUST, as well a dozen other things that he should’ve done before sending it. Then one day he said it wouldn’t start. He kept telling me it’d be done ‘next week’ until I’d had enough and took it elsewhere. Steve, according to the actually competent garage I took it to, had WELDED THROUGH THE WIRING LOOM and I forked out £1400 to fix the damage he did, that he denies. He also damaged the car whilst moving units, said he’d fix it, didn’t. I’m so disappointed Alex is collaborating with them, he’s only gonna send more victims their way. If you don’t believe me look at the cars in the background of their videos now, and the ones a year ago. They’re the same!

    Taylor attacking the e30 with the screw driver while Alex is on the phone was quite possibly the funniest thing I've watched on TH-cam 😂 that grin says it all 😂😂

    Spot on again lads. Nothing more entertaining than a load of British mates dicking around with cars. Comedy gold.

    Great video!
    I thought that when doing compression tests it will be higher when all other spark plugs are in as it is forced out the single plug space. I also thought it was all about them being consistent across the cylinders.

    Alex was so shocked with his air filter that he turned into Matt from P1

    If you want something even more obscure and hard to work with get a lupo 3L! It has many unique parts including the transmission!

    I think I might go as far as to say, this might be my favorite episode.

    That’s m20 and the valve ticking is because it needs valve adjustment. Basic m20 maintenance in every 15-20k miles. And probably that silver in oil is from rods bearings (still easy fix when crankshaft and rods haven’t got damaged. Been there, done that, but i had to do full rebulid because i had to drive with rod knock 200 miles to home. I also have 5 e34 525i with m20b25. And finding a good condition m20b25 885 cilinderhead is not an easy task on those days.
