Thanks for watching, please bare with me regarding camera shake in this video. I have upgraded my camera and still figuring out the best settings but should be better next time 😊 Don’t forget to grab yourself a obdeleven device using the link in the description! Thanks for your continued support ❤️
Well that escalated quickly! Went from last week saying you all in 100% building the channel to this week taking on a real hefty project! Either way we are with you every step of the way. Good luck Chris 🎉
Not long ago Chris you were working on an Audi tt fire damaged, now you are working on an x3m, I hope you are super proud of your self because I surely am. you inspire me to become better and one day repair cars like this.
wow cannot fault your video mate! apart from letting the ac gas out into athmosphere lol!! and man you can talk!! Full of info, great editing and kept me engrosed til the end! I hope you can get this sorted id expect youll be replacing the leg and strut to the bulkhead on this one!! Enjoy!!
Looks like a Mat Armstrong video!! Loved it for that reason and also a great project to start. Hopefully I can do one one day! Great quality video and looking foward to the journey. Keep doing videos like this💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 and your do so well!
Watched your F-Type videos after owning an F-Type R myself and was interested in the differences between R and SVR. Then saw you showing up on MA's videos which was fun to see. You've levelled up and deserve a sub all day, can't wait to see more on this, good luck!
Come On! Engine sounds sweet! The front end did its job, absorbed as much of the impact as it could and sent the rest around the car, and prevented the engine from being pushed back and the energy going through the occupants, but if the front passenger wasn’t wearing a seatbelt in that they would definitely have injuries.
Chris I was not expecting this as the next project. I'm super excited to see what you have in store for the X3M as it's such an underated / undocumented vehicle for mods etc. I have a modded 2021 X3M so would be great to run them when your finished or happy to pick up if you want to see / experience in person.
When there was so little oil my head was saying well there’s no metal bits on the sump plug, but my heart was heavy saying yeah but the engine is fucked. I was pleasantly surprised and over the moon that it ran. Great video and can’t wait for the next one! 😊
I thought the same. It is very difficult not to come off annoying but he nailed it. For instance I like mat Armstrongs projects but find him insufferable.
Ballsy choice Chris considering the amount of structural damage.But i applaud your choice.Looks like it will be a good looking car once it’s done.Like you probably did under your breath,i gave it a little “yes” 👍🏻👊🏻 when it started and didn’t sound rough,knocking etc.Looks like the rear passengers hit the front seats and buckled them upon impact as others have said.Looking forward to the next update on the re-build.
Brave man, and best of luck with this very challenging project Was so stressful watching you checking if the engine was bad or not you got lucky with that one
Hats off to you mate for taking on this project. Its certainly a big one, but i wish you the best of luck and i hope you get it finished without to many problems.
I had a van go into my old Peugeot while I was at a standstill, hit me at 40mph and I'm a bigger lad - the impact of the seat belt throwing me back into the seat was enough to bend them. So I'm guessing it's either hit something at speed or the driver was a bigger person like myself haha (Hoping they weren't too badly hurt) Looking forward to see you work through this though!
Great project, and i'm sure you will make it into a lovely motor, just hope the Bradford curse doesn't come back to bite you. I've seen first hand how those type of cars are driven round there.
Really enjoying the channel came from mats channel but tbh I prefer yours you seem more down to earth and I think the fame had gone to his head slightly... Keep smashing it
engine sounded good and normal, no apparent leaks, would not run it for more than a few seconds without coolant, somewhat clean environment so not a big deal for a short test to try without air filters. these engines have 2 layers of air filters as well but you only replace one of them for maintenance......19k was expensive in my opinion considering how much work needs to be done. frame, sub frame, seats, windshield, the cracked air filter housing can be fixed no need to replace for that one small crack .......easily sealable,......good luck
Engine looks ok as low oil don't worry all time because oil was lost because of oil cooler. When you drains oil out check if there is no metal piece in oil drain then you are good to go ahead and know no damage caused to Engine.
Hwsit Chris... I was stressed with you when I saw the little oil that came out but luckily the engine sounded ohk.... Just remember starting an engine n leaving it to run are 2 different tings... Get All the coolers n stuff u need throw some water in n leave that engine to idle just to be really sure ABT everything -wise... Good luck buddy much respect..
Awesome next project Chris. Not sure what you were expecting from the oil with it missing an oil cooler already. Would make sense for it to be empty. Also, can you plastic weld that air box?
I think they had passengers in the back that also didn't have seatbelts, they hit the back of the seats and twisted them....passenger side definitely looks like a knee went into the back of the seat 🤷♂️
Strange reason for me subscribing to your channel was the face you put on the oil container, I love a good sense of humour and that face and sounds had me rolling 🤣
good luck mate i always watched you from day 1 with the other ones and mat amstrong but hey what is that i got a golf r estate 7.5 and never thought of modifying it i been 34 years without a point on my licence and two weeks after i bought the golf the letter comes through the door saying i was speeding lol damn golf lol
Lovely car that, can imagine them seats are gonna be expensive, taking it rear passengers never had a seat belt on either.🤷🏻♂️ great video looking forward to this one.👍
New camera agreed but also utilise a tripod as it’s difficult to study the damage footage when you are here there everywhere, great vid subject looking forward to more updates

Your car was crashed in Leeds there’s videos of it online somewhere
@@Griffsconstructionheavy
Owned my Sophisto Grey X3MC over 2 years mate. Love it, mine has black with tan trim 😍
@@Griffsconstruction i checked this one 😅 very similar but not it. That one has a pan roof
I was about say "great video shame about the camera shake" :)
You said you were putting 100% effort into the channel and it’s showing! I wasn’t expecting this! This is going to be awesome!
Love it mate!
This man deserves an F91W. Come on Casio!! 🤗
Mad seeing you here
Brave! That looked a right mess. Was genuinely happy that the engine ran.
Looking forward to the rebuild.
Im gonna be quite honest. Chris is a very underrated creator. Get this man to 100k ASAP
Agree 100%

Absolutely thrilled with this one Chris. I’m a massive fan of this platform. Can’t wait to see how you get on. Fair play lad!

I love reading the comments and people giving advice to help the build. Absolutely beautiful community sprit.🎉
What a car, its personally my dream car I absolutely love the BMW X3 M Comp! This is going to be an epic build, I have full faith in you Chris 😎
Brave man, good luck on this one. Will enjoy watching your turn around this car 👏
When there was so little oil my head was saying well there’s no metal bits on the sump plug, but my heart was heavy saying yeah but the engine is fucked. I was pleasantly surprised and over the moon that it ran. Great video and can’t wait for the next one! 😊
Good luck on this one Chris. A brave man, but great to see it start and sound reasonably good. Can’t wait to see this build progress.
Nice car, I reckon the damage to the seats is from rear passengers having no belts on and hitting them
I think you are right! You can see a knee mark on the back of the passenger one 😅
I was about to say the same 👍
Completely agree👍🇬🇧
Or the previous owner tried to remove them to sell them on?
thought it was kinda obvious aswell
Tbh I miss the Mat & Chris combo, hope u guys will show up in each others vids 😊 great buy and hopefully not a massive overspend 😅
Impressed with your 'face to camera' skills. Makes watching enjoyable. Keep it up Chris
I thought the same. It is very difficult not to come off annoying but he nailed it. For instance I like mat Armstrongs projects but find him insufferable.
Wow when you said you were going full time you certainly dived straight in with a great project and build. Amazing work Chris
Ballsy choice Chris considering the amount of structural damage.But i applaud your choice.Looks like it will be a good looking car once it’s done.Like you probably did under your breath,i gave it a little “yes” 👍🏻👊🏻 when it started and didn’t sound rough,knocking etc.Looks like the rear passengers hit the front seats and buckled them upon impact as others have said.Looking forward to the next update on the re-build.
Legend, can't wait to see how the rebuild goes, nice one Chris
Brave man, and best of luck with this very challenging project
Was so stressful watching you checking if the engine was bad or not you got lucky with that one
This is a huge project! That is real nasty damage and I’m a little surprised you’d start this big. Good luck!
Looking forward to this one Chris. It's a mission, there's no doubt, but fortune favours the brave, eh.
Hats off to you mate for taking on this project. Its certainly a big one, but i wish you the best of luck and i hope you get it finished without to many problems.
So glad it started Chris, good content as always, big project hope it is worthwhile
Going to be an epic build! Love the commitment for this one. Can't wait to see the end result👍
I reckon that airbox is saveable. Look into plastic welding it, not too difficult man. Good luck with it all!
This exactly, up with you sir!
Smashing it, good to see you really taking this to another level I’m sure it will turn out to be a good Project Car 💪🏽
Great project Chris! You are really pushing yourself. Looking forward to being on this journey with you. So pleased the engine sounded okay 😅
Brave! I have an X3M and it’s great but I’m glad it’s you fixing this not me! More please - always enjoy your content.

Looking forward to see you work through this though!

80k subs but getting constantly more views then that ur smashing it mate great video
Nothing but love and support for this channel
Great choice of project! Glad it’s not another VAG group of JLR. You’ve got to get it tuned by Tom Wrigley or even RWD only
Hi, Chris Fix. I'm a huge fan ! ! ! keep up the great job ! ! !
That was VERY entertaining! Great job. I will be posting a few X3M videos too very soon. Keep them coming.
This could be huge for your channel, people love SUVs
Going to be an incredible build. Needs a wide arch kit and heavy remap
Well done Chris taking the Leap,Looking forward to some amazing Content.
The Cat B theory explains so much about this car 😂 excited for this one, keep up the good work!
Good luck Chris! Can't wait for the final result.
Looked like my a-class when i bought it. Have faith brother it all worked out for me and I've never done that car before.
This is going to be epic Chris. Best of luck with this one.
I was nervous for ya on that start up! Fingers crossed for an easy ride on this one 👏
Fantastic video Cris ! cant wait to see more !
YES a bmw on the channel love to see it keep it up Chris
Great project, and i'm sure you will make it into a lovely motor, just hope the Bradford curse doesn't come back to bite you. I've seen first hand how those type of cars are driven round there.
Nice one Chris enjoyed watching this and look forward to seeing the progress
Really enjoying the channel came from mats channel but tbh I prefer yours you seem more down to earth and I think the fame had gone to his head slightly... Keep smashing it
Nice choice, I'll be very excited for the next videos! 🎉 Good luck in this project.
Can’t wait for this series. It’s going to be epic. This is a beautiful car
Awesome Chris! Keep going! Should be aweome!
Epic video Chris!! Keep it up mate, you’re top on camera.
The upgrade in the quality of your videos are nuts man! Love the new whip
engine sounded good and normal, no apparent leaks, would not run it for more than a few seconds without coolant, somewhat clean environment so not a big deal for a short test to try without air filters. these engines have 2 layers of air filters as well but you only replace one of them for maintenance......19k was expensive in my opinion considering how much work needs to be done. frame, sub frame, seats, windshield, the cracked air filter housing can be fixed no need to replace for that one small crack .......easily sealable,......good luck
MAssive respect on this one mate it’s a big job but have faith in this come on mate you can do this
Good luck mate look forward to the build🤞👍
I’m excited I’ve been waiting 🤩🤩 this one is special and different 🎉 one love all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
excited for this journey!!
I have a 2020 X4M Competition and let me just say it’s an absolute monster! I can’t wait to see what you’re going to do with this x3m!
Nice to see you getting a bit of luck with the engine. All the very best for the build. They just keep getting bigger and bigger #CatB 😂
Always get a smile when you get a new project car. Looking forward to the uocoming videos on this 😮
Liking the first one of the new built. Will be watching and following with keen interest.
Engine looks ok as low oil don't worry all time because oil was lost because of oil cooler.
When you drains oil out check if there is no metal piece in oil drain then you are good to go ahead and know no damage caused to Engine.
I know you going to bring this bmw x3 back to life / looking forward to seeing next videos
Looking forward to this build. Good luck bro
Well done Chris mate my brother from Leicester Wish u all the best pal
Go on Chris good luck mate
Good first video and hope your luck holds out, great video though. Your work ethic will work through this one. Please do not nock all Brummies! 👍👍👍👍👍
Gotta say man
that music during the engine turn over was mega moody
I loved it
Hwsit Chris... I was stressed with you when I saw the little oil that came out but luckily the engine sounded ohk.... Just remember starting an engine n leaving it to run are 2 different tings... Get All the coolers n stuff u need throw some water in n leave that engine to idle just to be really sure ABT everything -wise... Good luck buddy much respect..
Awesome next project Chris. Not sure what you were expecting from the oil with it missing an oil cooler already. Would make sense for it to be empty.
Also, can you plastic weld that air box?
The seats are comfort seats. When the have a crash they move so you don’t get hurt. The have small motors and electronics inside.
I think they had passengers in the back that also didn't have seatbelts, they hit the back of the seats and twisted them....passenger side definitely looks like a knee went into the back of the seat 🤷♂️
You need a camera stabiliser and a wider angle lens… the jerky, back and forth and tight angle makes watching hard 👍
Like the buying from Bradford or Birmingham steer clear theory
Good luck Chris 👍🏻
Go see Powder coating Shropshire for the wheels, they can do 2 tone powder coat so no worrying about the diamond face corroding
Strange reason for me subscribing to your channel was the face you put on the oil container, I love a good sense of humour and that face and sounds had me rolling 🤣
Looks like a huge challenge! looking forward to seing mere!:)
good luck mate i always watched you from day 1 with the other ones and mat amstrong but hey what is that i got a golf r estate 7.5 and never thought of modifying it i been 34 years without a point on my licence and two weeks after i bought the golf the letter comes through the door saying i was speeding lol damn golf lol
And this when your channel will get to 500k subscribers🎉🎉good luck mate
Keep at it mate loving the content
Lovely car that, can imagine them seats are gonna be expensive, taking it rear passengers never had a seat belt on either.🤷🏻♂️ great video looking forward to this one.👍
New camera agreed but also utilise a tripod as it’s difficult to study the damage footage when you are here there everywhere, great vid subject looking forward to more updates
Bradford and Birmingham 😂😂😂 . Lovely car, can’t wait to see what you do to it…
Yeah and he's from Leicester 😂
Given a like just for the crying oil bottle - made me chuckle on a damp Wed afternoon
That's a step up on this channel, great choice as it will be a new challenge. Good luck from Sunny South Africa.
I'm looking forward to see where this goes!
