Love your attention to detail and how you’re so meticulous, eg, removal of bumpers, door protective strips, door weather rubber strips, roof frame, emblems, etc. Practically any concealed parts, nooks & crannies are brushed, washed, and cleaned. Nothing escapes your eyes. Wow!
I saved this video after I watched it several times. I have a 2000 E46 328 Ci that I'm restomoding, and I found this video both informative and really therapeutic and relaxing. I love doing this to my own cars. It's nothing for me to spend 2 hours or more detailing my cars and my wife's cars. Keep up the great work, guys. 👍🏾
I always wonder how the previous owner could show such little love to such an iconic vehicle. Really great to see you guys slowly bringing the vehicle back to life.
I am a current owner of one and can honestly say I have badly neglected mine. Due to long work hours and studying late nights and weekends. After seeing this video it made me teary eyed but it gives me hope that detailing experts like them exist. When I get through this I am calling them up!
@@edwinargueta7616 I have an F82 M4 and it's my first vehicle that I've really taken care of. But I understand you well. Before that I had an M2 and it ended up being in pretty bad shape because I had little time and a lot of work.
Excellent video. Question, everybody wets sands by hand. You did it with a machine, which is what I want to do. Can you elaborate more, for those of us that want to use a machine? how many rpm's, what type of machine/tool etc. Thanks.
Another great video guys! Just wondering who edit the video? Really did great a job! Love the ASMR ,music so relaxing and slow motion over all very satisfying 😊
We have a couple different people working on it. Several recently have been done by me (Evan). I used to do all of them back when I started working with a couple years ago, and since we’ve had several team members work on them. This one was done by me ;)
Loving this video, too!! Whoever picks the music for your videos deserves some kind of TH-cam Grammy!! This lo-fi jazz tracks are on point! What's the whole story on this BMW? I know you mentioned it was found in the desert, but is it the cheapest E46 M3 found in the desert in Cali and is this the first wash in TENNNNNN YEARS? 🤣😂
Tell Jakub that a couple times about the music please! LOL Jakub is always on the hunt, and he's been in a bit of a e46 M3 kick lately. While searching, he found a few good options. This one came up on the radar, and as you might guess, the ones that look the most beat up tend to be the most affordable! And he knows what he's doing to make it perfect again. The white wasn't the most popular car, and you can still find these cars for a pretty darn good price. Excited to see it all come together
Awesome. I am preparing my carbon black M3 to be resprayed to steel grey You could help me greatly by answering the following question: What parts do you recommend to order for this project? I mean stuff that will most likely break during disassembly or things that are not obvious? Thank you in advance!
Avid watcher. Can you fix clear coat issues? One of the cars has red paint and the clear is peeling. We tried to fix ourselves but after a short period reoccurs.
Amazing work as always guys. This car dit not need simply detailing, but complete restoration as you had mentioned. I think it's the first time I see a white M3 E46. Definitely not flattering the car, terrible choice from the owner in my opinion.
My brother had an E46 m3 silver with red interior, but he sold it in 2020 and bought a 2018 m4 , and now he regret selling it and wants to sell the m4 to buy 2 more e46 m3 in white just like this one
If he ever decides to sell it after this, I would imagine yes. Jakub's got a knack for finding these gems and finding them new life. He got it for a heck of a steal because the condition, and these cars are likely the next on the list for becoming a modern classic
Magnifique travail sur cette voiture extrêmement mal entretenue ...........................j'aurais des doutes sur la mécanique vu l'état général ce qui ne remet pas en cause votre travail
Victor says to me all the time how many people are scared to sand the paint. He says if you know what you're doing, its the best way to get the results you want. I trust him.. but it still makes me nervous on occasion lol
Omg! What a task! As always the level of your attention to detail is just impressive. Can’t wait to see the final results. You guys are the best….
Thanks Oliver! We’re stoked on this one!
@@IAMDetailing what does something like this cost (ballpark) and what is the timeframe ?
I would be interested to know how much such a job costs.
Waiting for part 3

I keep coming back to check for part 3 or the finished product.... its like I cannot get closure from a breakup :( but great video guys!
Even a car can say "aaahhh" after a nice shower! Enjoying my coffee and your video Jake & Co. Evan, nice work as always.
Thanks Peter!!
Such a dream job
You guys are THE detailers.
Victor does a killer job as always.
Regards from Sweden
Thanks Jonathan! I'll make sure to pass that along ;)
Victor's face! Ha He is a trooper, looks like it is going to turn out factory fresh!
That part cracked me up 🤣
I always wonder how the previous owner could show such little love to such an iconic vehicle. Really great to see you guys slowly bringing the vehicle back to life.

Mandarin peel! That was a good one! 😆
Beautiful work as always. Victor, please make a video showing us cleaning
the interior of your Mercedes. Pleez!
I’ll make sure we get that done!!
Mind blown 🤯
Excellent work! 😎🔨👊🏻
Thanks Joe!! Have a great weekend!
@@IAMDetailing right back at you all. 🤘🏻
Wow... Take my money! I need this level of detail on my M3.
Bring it on in!
Best m3 best restoration! 🔥
Holy crap dude. You guys deserve much more credit than you get. New sub!
We're working on it ;) Thanks for the support!!
I wish I knew a place near me that did this level of detailing. I need something like this
Where are you located?
@@IAMDetailing in the suburbs of Detroit Michigan
Great work guys!! Really impressive ! Thank you for sharing 👌
Thanks for watching!
Man, my dream car. You guys should do a full csl conversion to it. If not at least do a carbon roof.
Lovin the suggestions 🫡

I didn't know you guys talked in your videos. Why don't you do this more often? And where is part 3?
Working on it ;) this next step is a big one
Avid watcher. Can you fix clear coat issues? One of the cars has red paint and the clear is peeling. We tried to fix ourselves but after a short period reoccurs.
Excellent work as always!!! If it’s not to much to ask. Where do you buy the kovax dry sandpaper?
We have a detailing and autobody supply shop in Costa Mesa, CA in town that we purchase them from
If bumpers are removed to clean behind them why not take the wheels of to clean them too?
Lol too true.
Super Video Thank you 😚🤟👍👌
I can only imagine what you charged for this! I have the same car and you guys do take it to another level!
Отличная работа. Как всегда вы супер .
Are we going to get a part 3?
What app shows factory paint depth? Want it also.
What pad did you used for windows?
Any estimate on how much a job like this would cost?
After all that work, is it still getting a full repaint?
Define *full* LOL
Amazing.
Where is 3 video??
Which app did you use für the car paint ?
What was the total cost of full restoration?
wait for a long time :D
Glad you waited!!
How much did this cost? Trying to guage?
its a shame to see a beautiful car get wasted...but it sure did turn into a jewel. videos are so relaxing to watch.
We should be doing an update of this soon!
Where is part 1?
Hello,
There is a link in the description below.
@@lollypop9580 thanks man! I couldn’t find it.
Stoked you’re checking out Part 1!
@@IAMDetailing want to see part 3. Thank you.
When is the E46 coming back from the paint shop? Don't leave us hanging... 🙂
What App is this where you document the paint thickness?
It's the NexPTG app that comes with the device
Why isn't there part 3? ☹️
How much does it cost for a job like this?
This is fucking amazing!
🙌🏽
I thought the front bumper bar was carbon on m3
Where is part 1? Can't find it 🤔
Right in the description my friend
😍
Take my money!!
❤
LETS WETSAND RIGHT OVER THE PERFECTLY FINE CONDITION TAILLIGHTS!
Amazing work as always guys. This car dit not need simply detailing, but complete restoration as you had mentioned. I think it's the first time I see a white M3 E46. Definitely not flattering the car, terrible choice from the owner in my opinion.
Probably the first one Ive ever seen thats ACTUALLY an M3 in the wild. Excited to see what it will look like when we’re done!
@@IAMDetailing We are looking forward to the final part!
My brother had an E46 m3 silver with red interior, but he sold it in 2020 and bought a 2018 m4 , and now he regret selling it and wants to sell the m4 to buy 2 more e46 m3 in white just like this one
PT. 3
?
Will you ever get a ROI for this restoration? This is not a CSL.
If he ever decides to sell it after this, I would imagine yes. Jakub's got a knack for finding these gems and finding them new life. He got it for a heck of a steal because the condition, and these cars are likely the next on the list for becoming a modern classic

Very nice job!.......but you gotta wear a mask bro if you wanna keep those lungs. Lol. Safety first.
➕
The car was very tatty (word used here in 🇬🇧)… but very nice work to make it spot on 😎👍
Thanks much Steve!
👌👌👍😉🙏
🇧🇷
Personally not a big fan of white m3’s never the less cool resto
Maybe we’ll change your mind ;)
Whoever painted that bmw needs to find another job. Painting cars isn’t for them
I cringe every time they sand the paint
Victor says to me all the time how many people are scared to sand the paint. He says if you know what you're doing, its the best way to get the results you want. I trust him.. but it still makes me nervous on occasion lol
@@IAMDetailing I know that its the best way but its going to thin out for sure.
also wir in deutschland, waschen autos immer von oben nach unten. In den USA macht man sich doppelt arbeit und fängt von unten an. Wie dumm
Where is the part 1 ?
