Honestly, I felt every inch of his pain. When I heard that sound, my heart went into my stomach. I don't know everything about cars but even I knew that sound meant something catastrophic happenrd
That was the sound my engine in my 3KGT made right before my engine seized after having done a full engine swap. I literally felt that in my soul. I feel for ya Jobie!

The fact that i just watched the whole ad read for the first time in my 20 year youtube watching career really shows just how good this content is. So glad to see you guys doing the content you want to do.
I'd bet dollars on the belt being the incorrect size and not charging the alternator and once the battery depleted itself the car turned off. Spinning a rod bearing typically doesn't make the motor turn off suddenly like that. Paired with the slow cranking after i feel pretty confident in my guess. But if a rod bearing did spin and i'm just a dumb asshole, damn that sucks.
I felt every bit of that last 30sec. That look on the face I know all too well. "Did I try fix a potential problem and accidentally make an even bigger one. FML". You'll get this fixed up, we are here cheering you on!
it happened to me to with a BMW 330i, I was trying to solve a ignition problem and I fried my ECU going from a car that sometimes didn't wanted to start to a car that was not able to start at all 😅. the best part it was when I discovered that the real problem it was from the ignition key relay, a 20€ and 5min fix. The moment was horrible, but at the end I learned a lot from that error.
I love the second the motorcycle showed up we're here watching going ITS JERRY! Lol. Time to throw some chaos into the mix. We were getting too relaxed watching Jobe do his thing.
Love seeing the real side of hobby mechanics. Broken bolts, sudden disaster after hours of work. Cars are pain. But aint nothing to it but to do it and get back at it. Godspeed boys
When it first started up, it sounded a bit "clattery" but then sounded OK. The noise at the end sounded more like serpentine belt squeal, hopefully not rod bearings, didn't hear any knock. What a cliffhanger, excited for part 2
He takes the keys out the ignition and it automatically dims down then shuts off after about 20 seconds. It's LED so it probably doesn't work with a dimming function so it flickers.
When I worked at a full service car wash all through the early 2000’s I saw these ALOT and always lusted after them. Amazing work to get this one restored and ready to be enjoyed.
That last 30 seconds is the most bmw moment ever, have a 328i e90 and after months of work trying to get it reliable the water pump went out and after working on that for 3 days I filled it up with coolant and went a hose popped off multiple times and when I thought it was good I was getting air in the tires and just saw a puddle of coolant pouring out ofc
As a fellow BMW guy - I felt that. I have a 1991 850, I refreshed the motor (gaskets and all), fuel system etc... Only to find out that once I did that - the motor in the car was actually on its last legs when I got the car and by making stuff how its supposed to be - it showed signs of a bad block. Did a compression test and there it was.... So part 2 was to source a good engine (it was way cheaper to buy vs rebuild) - so I did a M70B53 (hybrid build) - did everything again on the new motor. Swapped over all the "new" accessories. Cars been solid since.
I used to own a MK6 GTI which had a known timing chain tensioner failure. Before Volkswagen put out a recall I attempted the repair myself. I bought a $250 kit with the updated parts, this was the most in depth job I attempted at the time and I put 8 hours of labor taking my sweet time as to not mess up. Well somewhere along the way the chain skipped a tooth and when i finally finished at 2am and cranked the engine. Pistons met valves and I lost all compression. If I had a camera on myself I would imagine I would have had the same expression as Jobe did. That moment sucks but thank you for showing mistakes happen. You could have easily scrapped the footage. The reality is these things happen, buts important to take a moment of reflection and then pick up the wrench and get back at it. And hey, at least its more content 😆
I would be happy if the car upgrad videos were in multiple parts - the editing is amazing, and I like seeing it done in one video but id also want to see the work
God they snuck the ending in the intro and my heart STILL absolute shattered into a million pieces in that last 30 seconds. It's like the BMW introduced itself and said, "Don't worry guys, I'll give you plenty of content!"
Or maybe these actors are baiting you into watching another shitty vid. Cuz honestly i see nothing cool about this vid. Nothing explained in it. No mods added.
The last 30 seconds man... That's was my worst fear this past summer. I rented a lift to do a bunch of work on my 5th gen Camaro. Was upgrading the oil pump, deleting my factory oil cooler, upgrading my aftermarket oil cooler, adding racing oil pan baffles and cut a section of the subframe to make it removable to make it easier to work on in the future. My first time tackling something this involved. I thought it was going to be a 8-10 hour job... 24 working hours later, I was running out of lift time. I rushed to get everything back together and because the engine had nearly every single oil passage drained, I was going to pull the fuel pump fuse to prime oil system with the starter. Guess what I forgot to do in the rush? The car started right up and I had rod knock for 0.25 of a second, but disappeared. I still shut it down and my heart sank... The lead mechanic was in the shop and heard it too. He said that was pretty normal in this situation and to start it back up to see if it came back. Started it up, and it sounded great. The 30 minute drive home was the most anxiety I had experienced, listening for ANY weird noise. Luckily what happened to Jobe did not happen to me. She has been running great since! Sorry your luck was not on your side man!
Hey, pardon the advice, you may already know this, but if you are ever doing that again: if you floor the pedal during startup (holding both the brake and accelerator to the floor), the engine will crank but it doesn’t start. Works on all my modern GM and Ford vehicles and even an LS3 crate motor. Allows you to prime the oiling system without having to unplug the ECU or a fuse. I’m glad your car is okay!
My daughter made a comment that was the first Time she’s seen me watch a full ad on any video. I was captivated by the aliens and their use of 303 products for their spaceship!
The joy of a small victory like extracting a difficult to reach broken bolt to the heartbreak of an unidentified noise after an engine repair.....Welcome to the world of wrenching on cars boys and girls. I've been at it for 55+ years and the enthusiasm hasn't dimmed......Good Stuff guys!
What great timing! I just did a bunch of work on my mk6 gti! New turbo, timing chains, fuel injectors carbon cleaning and new engine mounts. That was last weekend engine wise and the week before did new headliner wingback seats and a couple other interior bits. Love cars and this was fun to do!
No hyperbole-I think that might be the best TH-cam ad I’ve ever seen. That was amazing. I am disappointed that we didn’t get the “shirts off” part of the Shirts Off Car Wash but still. I’m not docking any points.
Thank you for your life decisions and making this channel. As someone with their dream car and rebuilding it in their driveway, I couldnt care less about High-Low. I need to know technical, diagnostics, and field knowledge. Appreciate you.
Oh my, the satisfying torque wrench beep knowing that a job is done is brilliant by the way…please keep these in every time you complete anything that requires a torque…even if it’s a post production thing to be implemented that would be amazing
Oh man that's brutal. I heard it knocking at 18:05 when he started it up. But the failure during the test drive was heart breaking. Looking forward to you getting things fixed up in part 2.
That sounded more like it was the exhaust vibration, and not knocking, otherwise zach would have noticed it there and turned the engine off. unless it was planned and he is going to swap the engine anyways xD
@@firedude1Productionssame, and by the look on his face when he fist started it up I thought he had heard it too. I was surprised when he went through with the ride.
@@TimeeJustin Agreed. Having removed the oil filter housing, they should've pulled the fuel relay and primed it before starting. If they missed lubing any of the bearings, that combination would surely cause damage.
E46 m3 is my favorite bmw and easily the best daily that combines comfort with looks and performance. Thank you for this video i need more with this car and the s14
Dude those last 30 seconds broke my soul. Poor Jobe man. First time I ever seen him that hurt We gotta see them get that car right. It's gonna live damnit lol
Dude, my heart literally stopped when I heard that noise. I finished watching it like 5 minutes ago and my stomach still hasn’t returned to its home. I hope it’s a super simple fix. Absolute dream car so I feel emotionally invested.
Literally just picked up an e46, the 325xi was my dream daily and now I got it. The next goal is an m3 or a 330ci, whichever comes first. Awesome to see yall doing it at the same time lol
Except the motor shut itself off and locked up while driving. The noise may have been the belts, but that rotating assembly is cooked in that car. It could barely crank when he tried the starter.
@@maasman240 If the engine had locked up with the wheels and gearbox in gear, wouldn't it have made the engine explode? Or would the car have had the rear wheels locked? If he spoons a bearing, the melted connecting rod shouldn't break and implode the engine from inside, making a lot of noise?
@guilhermebjr a spun crank bearing won't really detonate a motor entirely, it will just put a tremendous amount of drag on the engine, so if he pressed the clutch pedal to change gears or coast it would have stopped immediately. He probably heard and felt it totally stop and just kept the clutch in until it rolled to a stop is my guess but not sure
@@guilhermebjr if the motor was revving at all and it seized up due to the crank getting way too tight, all the accessories would also continue to spin for a moment until the drag of the belt stopped them, this might be the squealing noise as well
That stabilizer is doing God’s work. Cameraman’s hands look like they just chugged six espressos, but the footage is smoother than a politician dodging questions.
Loving the content. I love to see builds in the garage, watching other people rebuilding cars in those industrial shops is not related to me. This is content to my heart! And production level something like mtv
I've been paying for premium since it was TH-cam Red. This ad made me really consider cancelling and getting a good ad block that actually blocks all ads.
I loved my e46 M3. My favorite project was the valve adjustment since that isn’t a common project for a modern-ish car. Built my own valve adjustment tool from an old tooth brush, heating and bending the head, and gluing a rare earth magnet. Would have loved to see you do that in a future episode and you might as well toss a vanos repair in there too.
I’ve been watching Alemio Network since the beginning of the presale, and it’s looking more solid every day. Might be one of the better DeFi plays this year.
Zach, don’t forget the rear subframe mount reinforcements. The sheet metal of the body is cracked on almost every E46 at those mounts. Turner has a weld-in kit that works well. Keep up the good fight.
Replacing the rod bearings in my Integrale tomorrow...when I spun one it did not sound like that. So not worried too much, prob just that serpentine belt... Still, brain going nuts at this point...
I've had a similar experience where my car died on the road after a long fix/ improvement, heartbreaking. Can't wait to see what's next! what a cliff hanger. best ad too, here for it, BigTime.
As a fellow E46 M3 owner myself this is my fear. I hope it’s just the wrong serp belt as you weren’t in high rpm range and no knocking noise prior to the “failure”. Can’t wait for the next episode. This is the series I’ve been waiting for!
First, where the hell is Jere on this!? You help him in his builds! Also, legit looked like you wanted to cry (and could have with no judgement). If my mans is acting, give him an award! Jobey, saw ya in Tuscon down at the finish line since that is where I could park with trackside parking. I wanted to say I recently go into a BMW (back into Euro), an Estoril Blue M235i with red interior. I am super stoked about this car, where I haven't been in a long time (went BRZ>STI>M235i in 6 years). I was heavily modifying my BRZ until I was hearing valve issues/possible rod knock. I started with a MKIV Jetta (sold to my lil brother and he still has it, but it doesn't run) and learned everything about working on cars with that Jetta. I love that ECS is where you came from! Loved you on Donut, the three Js Jere, Jobe and of course James. You and Jere's personalities are ver personable and approachable. As if you were a car centric homie. Being a DIY'er where I can be, seeing bimmer content is very encouraging and exciting! Except the end....
been a big fan since i first saw y’all on donut way back when, and i appreciate the creativity and meta-ness of the ad spot, but 4 min is wild even in a 30 min video

I thought the same things. Didn’t sound like bearings in the block of any kind.
I agree, very much the sound of a belt rather than anything coming from the depths of an engine block.
Especially with needing a custom belt size
That's literally the sound my car makes every time I cold started it. Only lasts for a second. It's the serpentine belt.
But when he tried to start it, it didn’t sound like the engine wanted to turn

Longest 9:24 ad ever😂😂
I've been paying for premium since it was TH-cam Red. This ad made me really consider cancelling and getting a good ad block that actually blocks all ads.
@@burgerbait sponsorblock is your friend here ;)
Bigtime does ads right. They seem sincere, they back products they believe in and their skits are amazing
Love me some bimmer content
The ending is SO real, cars are pain (as much joy as they bring us) they're non-stop heartaches
when it says Pt 1 you know it's gonna be good
I watched every second of your sponsor ad.

I loved my e46 M3. My favorite project was the valve adjustment since that isn’t a common project for a modern-ish car. Built my own valve adjustment tool from an old tooth brush, heating and bending the head, and gluing a rare earth magnet. Would have loved to see you do that in a future episode and you might as well toss a vanos repair in there too.
I use 303 for my convertible top. Cleaner and rain repellent works great!
You must have installed them wrong spinning a rod bearing doesn’t just happen out of nowhere especially without a knock first
But why?
I’ve been watching Alemio Network since the beginning of the presale, and it’s looking more solid every day. Might be one of the better DeFi plays this year.
303 protectant has been saving my melting dash in my is250 for years!! Great stuff
That sponsor segment us the first one ive actually watched all the way through without skiping good engagement
Vanguard tier bonuses look incredible! Alemio is rewarding its loyal presale participants and early adopters well!
5:46 BigTime is so good I watched the entire ad without skipping
Zach, don’t forget the rear subframe mount reinforcements. The sheet metal of the body is cracked on almost every E46 at those mounts. Turner has a weld-in kit that works well. Keep up the good fight.
I'm pretty stoked 303 was your ad! been using them forever too and I'm glad they're becoming more popular!
It hits me now and then how happy I am to see you guys back in the OG garage
Replacing the rod bearings in my Integrale tomorrow...when I spun one it did not sound like that. So not worried too much, prob just that serpentine belt... Still, brain going nuts at this point...
Finally the E46 M3 video GOATED!!
😵💫😵💫crazyyyyy seeing my model (not a M3 but E46 chassis ) on this channel makes meeee happpy
man, the highs and lows of this episode..
definitely the best ad I've ever seen. can't wait to see the rebuild
This is content I want from you guys. You make working on cars a learning and entertaining!
I've had a similar experience where my car died on the road after a long fix/ improvement, heartbreaking. Can't wait to see what's next! what a cliff hanger. best ad too, here for it, BigTime.
9:10 - “Wanna thank thweee oh three” 😂😂😂 Jeremiah speaks as coherently as I do sometimes
First time I've seen an ad without skipping.... love your channel and content guys
As a fellow E46 M3 owner myself this is my fear. I hope it’s just the wrong serp belt as you weren’t in high rpm range and no knocking noise prior to the “failure”. Can’t wait for the next episode. This is the series I’ve been waiting for!
I was impressed with the cleanliness of the car in the opening shot, made for a great ad!
absolutely MEMORIZED by here gorgeous locks 😂 oh Jobey...
I hate to say buy the commercial 303 baby. Made me buy some. Love the riff. Can you guys do like a bill and ted pretending to be car guys
Bro. This content is genuinely amazing. Please keep it coming. Also best of luck with the beemer, hopes and prayers up 🙏
I feel you man ❤️, keep working We all love to watch you
BigTime does, "We have CSL at home" and I'm here for it. M3s are just fun cars.
I was as happy for you when you got that broken bolt out as if I did it. That is the power of friendship, it seems.
I have to admit you cats are definitely creative with your ads I think yours are the only ones I don’t ff.
Finally, I've had my eye on this m3 since the start of BT!
This is a YT storytelling masterpiece. I’ve never enjoyed watching an ad more.
this is the kind of content that got me into cars and absolutely love about you guys. lfg
First, where the hell is Jere on this!? You help him in his builds! Also, legit looked like you wanted to cry (and could have with no judgement). If my mans is acting, give him an award!
Jobey, saw ya in Tuscon down at the finish line since that is where I could park with trackside parking. I wanted to say I recently go into a BMW (back into Euro), an Estoril Blue M235i with red interior. I am super stoked about this car, where I haven't been in a long time (went BRZ>STI>M235i in 6 years). I was heavily modifying my BRZ until I was hearing valve issues/possible rod knock. I started with a MKIV Jetta (sold to my lil brother and he still has it, but it doesn't run) and learned everything about working on cars with that Jetta. I love that ECS is where you came from! Loved you on Donut, the three Js Jere, Jobe and of course James. You and Jere's personalities are ver personable and approachable. As if you were a car centric homie. Being a DIY'er where I can be, seeing bimmer content is very encouraging and exciting! Except the end....
been a big fan since i first saw y’all on donut way back when, and i appreciate the creativity and meta-ness of the ad spot, but 4 min is wild even in a 30 min video
i take back what i said after finishing the video. that was potentially very expensive. use all the ad space you feel like
