voice over works really well man...weird to hear for the first time but you made it feel like you were saying what was in your head at the time! good work dude
Voice over bits are great, no woffle and better sound quality! :) I definitely recommend applying plusgas or similar in advance of brake line or rusty nut and bolt work... give yourself at least half a chance!
Hey Danny.👋 Always nice to get a DDC2 notification. Starting at the end and working back (going straight for the respect 😆), my guess is £21 plus tax for the brake pipe. Good to see you workin' on the M3, man. I say nevermind the purists. Resale value should only be of concern to those who plan on selling, right?,😉 So, do as you please. That 18" square stance looks perfect, btw!👌 There seem to be mixed reviews on the voiceover, but I actually liked it. I could still hear the background shop noises just fine, which kept it from being too clinical. If it makes it easier that way without "making a dog's dinner" of your high-dollar camera, then by all means, do it. Believe it or not, until today, I had never heard that phrase.😶 Great video mate... very much anticipating part 2! Cheers.
I’ve just been doing the exact same thing to my m3... fitting new brakes and I ran into the same issue with the pipe nut not coming undone! I found that a good set of mole grips and lots of heat worked a treat!!
Well worth cutting a little flap into the boot trim, and getting those BC extended adjuster leads for the rear dampers. Otherwise you'll be in the same boat if you wanna adjust them again!
Grab yourself a pair of knipex alligator adjustable grips, will break away those fittings no problem. Car looks proper on the square set up, good efforts.
I agree with you on the whole 'future classic' thing, I'd much rather enjoy a car with it improved than have it standard, even if you are losing a bit of money in the long run, the fun you get out more than makes up for it
You should be able to use the original drop link, you can usually adjust the droplink plate higher by spinning it around the shock body until it's at the desired height. Unless you're coilovers don't allow this adjustment?
Funny fact, I live about 3 miles away from the hel performance hq. My mate works there, chances are he made these very brake lines! Bloody good lines! I run them on a my cars! And My van! Haha
I’ve got an H n R set up on mine I’ve still got the Oem kit and to be honest I will change it back one day because as a daily it’s not as comfortable as I would like. Cosmetic it looks good it’s lower than a badgers tadger 🤙 and really handles well. But every pot hole bangs that hard my ancestors can feel it I’m sure.
Love watching this progress! The thing with the background voice is very nice, but I would mix it a bit with the noise that actually happened, good work
The 18s look sick dude, perfect stance! (Cant believe you found some and at that price) ive been looking for ages! Good tyre choice too, i mentioned vredesteins as cheap sliders that i run ;P but for fast road these will be better i reckon! Hope you get the brakes sorted (and drop links), looking forward to the next vid! Although, the final drive is still the one im waiting for ;) and interested in your thoughts on the modded exhaust once youve got it on! Keep it up mate!
Good vid Danny, I've just fitted those coilovers on my e46 m3 and there good, also got ad08rs on front and they're spot on, ready for ring in a weeks time :)
Love the square look but not convinced running so much -ve on the front is a good idea just to get them to fit. V similar car to yours, thinking about staggered Apex to use as every day wheels. Keep the 19s fresh for 2040 when we can sell these cars for 40k
Maybe this is really obvious but a spray bottle with some diesel in it is good for eating into stuck thread. Spray it, let it soak in then probably set fire to it when you still need to use a shiteload of heat to get the fucking thing off. Enjoying your vids of late
Good to see another great video dan nice one! ay I'm putting that g7 to good use ive finally started vlogging, just watching you helped me kickstart my love for youtube, thanks buddy
Meant to be buying an ek9 tomorrow but now want to go and buy an m3 again, none for sale for reasonable money in estoril though 😪 looking forward to your views on the modifications after test drive 👍
Man already looks so much better with the square setup at that height! I dont know much about brake hardlines but coming from bmw I am going to guess that it was like 30 pounds plus tax, which for me is quite expensive. Dealer prices are weird sometimes with bmw, sometimes you expect a part to be expensive when in the end its not that expensive, and sometimes you assume something will be cheap but it ends up costing an arm and a leg haha. For example I just ordered from the dealer every single part for the pcv system and intake system like gaskets, pipes, orings, tubes, everything for my e36(even bolts and clamps) and I paid 70€ when I was expecting like more than 200€, it was a 22 item order from bmw which was less than 100€, my mind was blown...
Love the m3 instalments Dan...having done the rear shocks on my e91 & 2 completely agree, removing and reinstalling the trim takes the most time ( no one ever shows you the way to remove the clips.....until you break one!). Square stance, nice subtle drop with soft progressive springs, spaced and 18’s 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼...just need the oem gloss black kidney grills to finish it off! 😉 Can’t wait for part 2! (This weekend will give you every opportunity with the shitty weather in store)
DannyDC2 it was tongue in cheek as i recall your disgust for replacements but......without the silly m-colours I think they’re a tasteful addition (gloss not Matt) and personally I think the standard chrome look is a big of a clanger for the front end. I haven’t suggested changing indicators 😁
12 £
You win! th-cam.com/video/1Bix44C1EzY/w-d-xo.html
Thanks mate ! Takes a lot of geeking to follow you ;)
I just realised I posted it on twitter the other day... I hope you didn't cheat 😛
Nah. I'm just a french who studied the cost of a brake pipe directly from BMW and converted from € to £. You know, normal stuff.
voice over works danny mate, nice motor pal
95% of people who will complain about modifying the m3 don’t own one and have never sat in one true fact look it up
The GoPro and voiceover methods are perfect. I'm glad to see you back at it Danny!
Love your attitude. You’re absolutely right. Enjoy the car, make it yours, get to know it. It’s about the experience not the profit!
Good to see you back in the barn working on projects!
Danny, this video style with the voiceover and GoPro stuff is really watchable, great work.
Looks so much better on those wheels. The voice overs were great too.
You can always reverse the mods and install original parts when you want to sell it.
Voice over works great, nice and detailed with a Danny touch 👌
voice over works really well man...weird to hear for the first time but you made it feel like you were saying what was in your head at the time! good work dude
Love watching a fellow Yorkshireman!

Missed those dulcet northern tones.
POV cam is sick danny well done
looking forward to part 2!
The overdubbing works for me Danny, good idea.
Good work. Good tools are half the work for the brake line nipples. Good luck with the rest of the car.
Nice to see you back Danny 👌💪
I hope the Boxster calipers work well. the Effective Piston Area is smaller than the stock E46 M3 calipers.
Good work on the mods mind you :).
By the way, the additional commentary worked really well in my opinion👍
So excited for this series
Brazzers can wait. I gotta see this!
im jolly ruddy excited

Precisely Mick! Resale value shouldn't be too much of a concern if you want to modify a car. Glad that I'm adding to your phrase book! Cheers 👍
and he's finally back :)
The voice over idea works fine mate, another interesting watch.
The gopro worked great. I hope, we don't have to wait that much 'till the next episode ;)
Nice m3 m8 , look forward to seeing it on the track , great channel m8 👌
79th
Voiceover was the best thing ever. Cheers
I loved the voice over idea and I'd say the brake pipe was about 45 quid.
Thanks... It was £12 btw!
Looks really good on the 18’s good choice.
Class... respect for doing it all yourself!!! 👌🏻👊🏻
I’ve just been doing the exact same thing to my m3... fitting new brakes and I ran into the same issue with the pipe nut not coming undone! I found that a good set of mole grips and lots of heat worked a treat!!
Great video danny, been waiting for this since you got the car last year can't wait to see more
Great video Danny. Liking the voiceovers.
Can't wait for more M3 content.
Well worth cutting a little flap into the boot trim, and getting those BC extended adjuster leads for the rear dampers. Otherwise you'll be in the same boat if you wanna adjust them again!
Voice over spot on
Voice over works well mate, good luck with the rest of the upgrades!
Thanks 🍻
guess who's back, back again
Nice man. Finally it's coming together. You look cheerful working on the m3. 👍🏼
Love the wheels bro!!! Yea I din really like the first set
Grab yourself a pair of knipex alligator adjustable grips, will break away those fittings no problem.
Car looks proper on the square set up, good efforts.
Voice overs for the Win🤙🏾
My guess £78.51 all in for a short one. Enjoyed the video, wheels are ace.
I love all the music in the background
Gotta be up at 6 but a dannydc2 m3 video before bed won't hurt!
Voice over is great!!!
Sweet BMW...luv ur dc2...one of my fav😁
I agree with you on the whole 'future classic' thing, I'd much rather enjoy a car with it improved than have it standard, even if you are losing a bit of money in the long run, the fun you get out more than makes up for it
I'd rather enjoy things whilst they can be enjoyed. 👍
Sits so well now. Love it
Looks mint
Voice over is and new style is better all round
great vid mate do fancy a e46 m3 while they at still affordable , looks really smart on the 18"s and the spaceing and stance looks just right
You should be able to use the original drop link, you can usually adjust the droplink plate higher by spinning it around the shock body until it's at the desired height. Unless you're coilovers don't allow this adjustment?
FINALLY
Finally a Cool Car Video :)
Funny fact, I live about 3 miles away from the hel performance hq. My mate works there, chances are he made these very brake lines! Bloody good lines! I run them on a my cars! And My van! Haha
Square set up looks much better. Enjoyed the short voice over sections :-)
Oh & £38...
Looks perfect
I’ve got an H n R set up on mine I’ve still got the Oem kit and to be honest I will change it back one day because as a daily it’s not as comfortable as I would like. Cosmetic it looks good it’s lower than a badgers tadger 🤙 and really handles well. But every pot hole bangs that hard my ancestors can feel it I’m sure.
J B avoid pot holes !!
Jimmy's on White and all the time I made going round corners on rails is lost when I have to stop and caterpillar over speed humps 😁🤦♂️
Looks so good
Love watching this progress!
The thing with the background voice is very nice, but I would mix it a bit with the noise that actually happened, good work
Keke36 Racing did do that, where I could 👍
SO MUCH BETTERRRR!!!!!! :D
The 18s look sick dude, perfect stance! (Cant believe you found some and at that price) ive been looking for ages! Good tyre choice too, i mentioned vredesteins as cheap sliders that i run ;P but for fast road these will be better i reckon!

Quality vid 👍🏻 ordered some bits from micks garage spot service👌🏻
Car is looking class Danny! I’m hoping to go down the same route with the square 18s and coil overs 👍🏻
Good vid Danny, I've just fitted those coilovers on my e46 m3 and there good, also got ad08rs on front and they're spot on, ready for ring in a weeks time :)
Enjoy 👍
£100? Great video again dan looks so much more aggressive already 👍🏻
I once removed a rear m3 spring on my drive with only one side jacked up and the ARB still connected. Fucker ended up on the next street.
Definatley copying the gopro on a light idea for my car vids. good man
Love the square look but not convinced running so much -ve on the front is a good idea just to get them to fit. V similar car to yours, thinking about staggered Apex to use as every day wheels. Keep the 19s fresh for 2040 when we can sell these cars for 40k
It's not just to get them to fit, it's a good setting for the track too. 3 degrees is pretty normal in 'ring cars.
Wheels look good , go pro thing worked if a little jerky (camera action)
Brake pipe £92 quid at a guess .
Maybe this is really obvious but a spray bottle with some diesel in it is good for eating into stuck thread. Spray it, let it soak in then probably set fire to it when you still need to use a shiteload of heat to get the fucking thing off. Enjoying your vids of late
Good to see another great video dan nice one! ay I'm putting that g7 to good use ive finally started vlogging, just watching you helped me kickstart my love for youtube, thanks buddy
e46s look so good on spaced out 18s
6:50 the voiceover is clearer than the echoey barn. lets you concentrate too
So glad you're back :)
Ty men
Brilliant video mate and really informative :)
Meant to be buying an ek9 tomorrow but now want to go and buy an m3 again, none for sale for reasonable money in estoril though 😪 looking forward to your views on the modifications after test drive 👍
Cars looking Epic
It looks good so far mate
Great parts choice
Looks well 👍
Great vid Dan
loved it Dan, keep it up.
another great video dan. going fred dibnah with the voice over. love it
GoPro and voiceover idea worked I like it. Maybe some subtle music would be nice too? Great video again dan keep them coming 👍🏼
I did try some music, but copyright issues as well as the fact that I had music blasting in the background anyway made it difficult. 👍
That looks the nuts. Also £72.50.
nice brakes what about a nice supercharger kit next ?
Man already looks so much better with the square setup at that height!
I dont know much about brake hardlines but coming from bmw I am going to guess that it was like 30 pounds plus tax, which for me is quite expensive.

It's nice that they didn't charge overly for the pipe, it was a pleasant surprise.
Looks a lot better on smaller wheels.
Thursday upload yea buddy!👌👌 £79.65🤔
Nice ending 😂 I reckon £22 for the pipe. I do like the oem rims, cars looking good maaaan 👌🏻
Voiceover works great danny, nice work. Bummer about the brake lines, but that's life with cars eh?
Such is life! Should be fixed this weekend. 😀
Nice one mate !
I find brake pipe spanners are pretty bad for flexing anyway. I use a crow's foot wrench on tight stuff.
Love the m3 instalments Dan...having done the rear shocks on my e91 & 2 completely agree, removing and reinstalling the trim takes the most time ( no one ever shows you the way to remove the clips.....until you break one!). Square stance, nice subtle drop with soft progressive springs, spaced and 18’s 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼...just need the oem gloss black kidney grills to finish it off! 😉

Cheers Will. I hope you're joking about the grills 😝
DannyDC2 it was tongue in cheek as i recall your disgust for replacements but......without the silly m-colours I think they’re a tasteful addition (gloss not Matt) and personally I think the standard chrome look is a big of a clanger for the front end.
I haven’t suggested changing indicators 😁
Hahah fair one mate. I had black grilles on my first E46 (Estoril saloon), but those days are in the past now. 😅
Good vid! It's all reversible mods, so no probs returning it to oem and it still be worth ££ in a few years.
Looking Sick man 🤙🏼
Decent work on the m3
