I think you should live in the house you own! Put money up and invest! One day you will be rich and not have to worry anymore. Don't keep buying more, one day it may not be the bomb like it is today and you'll be happy you saved!
How do you know I haven't been saving? I have a house and a shop worth $120K paid off. All my credit cards are paid off. If things ever aren't "the bomb" I have a dealership, house, land, shop, tools, and cars all paid for in cash. I'm doing very very well.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds Don’t worry about these haters. You’re job is to entertain us office job commuter types in the evenings……please keep entertaining us!
Actually a lot of people prefer to have a manual top with those cars because the automatic convertible tops can become very problematic on German cars! I believe it was optional on that generation. A & M is a manual tip tronco mode. If you put it in M you can shift it manually with gears 1-3. A is for automatic
The tires you got are good. OHTSU tires are not Chinese tires made out of discarded plastic bottles. They are the low line tires made by the giant Japanese tire company Sumitomo group (that makes Falken), and is sold through discount vendors like Walmart.
OHTSU are actually great tires. Had a set of them in the past. I paid 300 for the set brand new and thought if they lasted me a month I got my money's worth. They went way beyond a month lol
E36 with the 1.8 in it is INSANELY reliable. Sucks its an auto but it's in such good condition it deserves a good clean and paint. They are excellent first cars!
I have owned my 95 BMW 318ti (hatchback) for 5 years and that little 1.8/.9 four cyl. has never let me down. Mines at 225k. Also for the radio make sure the amp wire is connected (white wire) or the stereo will have no sound.
The white pieces in the glovebox are for the window regulator/slide rails they break and fail if they get old,easy thing to change ,the black thing is the upper radiotor holder. Totally love the oldschool sound of that Bmw siren 😆👌🏽
The BMW 318 CI is a good deal the body and the interior looks in great shape. $860.00 is a great deal. You are still on a roll. I have always enjoyed the older vehicles Randy you are doing what is right for you a house is a priority congrats. 😀🔥🇨🇦
Btw Randy, if you have any specific BMW questions here’s a couple of very good resources for you. The first one is Erjon Karaj, who I’m sure you know from Hoovie’s garage as Jonny the car ninja of German Motorworks. He actually just recently started his own TH-cam channel and it’s called Car Ninja in case you didn’t already know that. Another good BMW resource is Sreten and he also has a TH-cam channel called M539 restorations which you may have also seen or heard of. He’s actually Serbian but he currently lives in Frankfurt Germany and he is an absolute riot to watch every time. He has a wide variety fleet of BMWs that he has resurrected and it’s getting bigger and bigger each time, and he knows a lot an those cars as well. So definitely reach out to them if you have any BMW or Mini Cooper related questions. I think there were a couple Rolls-Royce and Land Rovers that were also BMW products. I forget which ones specifically but they can probably tell you that as well if you’re ever in the market for any one of those. Hope that helps!
Randy, I saw your other video first and I've commented there. I've had my own E36 318i nearly 3 years and I've built up quite a bit of E36 content on my own channel. The only work I had to do on the cooling system was to replace the thermostat. These cars are generally reliable and easy to work on unlike newer BMWs.
That one looks like one worth keeping a bit and having some fun with. You get a lot of nice convertible weather in OK... You had your fun with the old Plymouth; I am sure more fun old cars will come along. That's the joy of what you do, you get to enjoy lots of different cars if only for a little while.
Man Randy, She’s A Clean Little Bimmer For The Money, An E36, 318ci Automatic.. Makes Me Think About Monkey Wrench Mikes ‘87 E30, He’s Reconditioning And Getting It Road Worthy Again..
Not gonna lie, the deals you are getting on these cars is making me want to move to the US. I wish you could find rust free cheap cars like the ones you do here in Germany.
That is an amazing looking BMW! It even has the manuals which is pretty hard to find as well. Seriously going to miss seeing that Plymouth. Not many left like that one and they are becoming rare. Also the manual top on the BMW is much more better then a power one. Great video as always Randy.
I had a 99 3-series sedan custom ordered NEW back in the days. Totally trimmed out, manual, RWD, adaptive headlights even back than. Car made it to the states and then the dealer came back demanding my Audi as a trade, PLUS 5K not disclosed when I put down my deposit. Upside, they loaned me another sedan for a month 'just because' and I sure *enjoyed* that during a MN winter.. HECK of a fun platform. I'd keep it around if it weren't for Winter coming soon.
Those engines are Bulletproof ,318 (M44) ,I've owned one for 18yrs now, with 380000km on it ,never had any problems with it. Mine is a 318is (M44). Regards from South Africa
Financially the new house should be your focus,mine has been paid off for 8 years now.I can’t tell you how much a relief it is not to have payments on your house.Congrats on your house,and I’m a Mopar guy.
I have spent 40 odd years trash talking BMW's, but just bought a 94 325ci for a little fun car to keep at the cabin in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Most fun driving car I've had in years. Perfect for taking in the aspen before I left it behind for the winter and came back to Texas. Easy to work on, I put an all aluminum radiator in mine as the cooling system is their Achilles heel. Paid $3,000 more. Well done, sir. It looks like it has had repair to the front end. Night side views look as if the wheel liners are missing and the area around the wheels are illuminated. Could explain the air not working if the evaporator was damaged and not fixed, as well as the radiator being worked on. Enjoy it. I am thinking about getting another one. Have to sell the 05 VW Phaeton 4 seater first.
Let me know how you make out on the windshield. Mine is not cracked, but pitted after 185,000 miles. Around $500 to replace, and I am worried about the surround rubber molding leaking afterwards if not also replaced. The plan was to get an inexpensive toy.
I agree with your decision on getting rid of some toys to make life easier with new home purchase Might be a good time also the way prices are still up you possibly stand to make a good profit. Good luck with all of it my friend.
sure you should especially where you live. But it needs a full service , detail under the hoood, inside, outside a buff and a wax, put a windshield in it , fix the stereo and go. I just bought a 2004 325 ci convert. same color combination and it needed a cooling fan, radiator. tranny cooler , fan shroud and two tires . Ive done the detail and the service , put 5k miles on it an d have $1200 in it done. Interior is perfect, top works fine . Drive it Randy!
Great convertible, I own one as well... That thing at around 17:57 is a clip for securing the radator with. The dimmer for your interior lights is on the left of the steering wheel, underneath the instrument cluster.
I've had a couple BMW's for my personal use, as soon as you showed the car my first though "Every piece of the cooling system is made of plastic.." I had to change out every single piece of the cooling system on both of mine, fix one thing another thing breaks the next week.
I have one as well. With 375k on it. They are bullet prof if you upgrade your cooling system. That was a steal at under a grand. Also the manual top is more desirable.
If I had the BMW I'd be thinking of places I had to go just so I could drive it. Heck, I'd load up the dog and take him around so he could share the excitement. The Plymouth had to be sacrificed for the better good. House, home and shop take priority. Another great video.
Cooling systems are a major weekspot on these!!! The AC not working could a r134a leak. Did air come out? If not worst case it could be a FSU (blower moter resistor type thing) The hood struts are easy enough to replace
man. a 3 series that runs...decent shape with good operational soft top for under a grand. I think those are some of the last years the bimmer still made vehicles of this quality.
Randy, you are the channel, not the cars. Its reality TV. If it were about the cars Doug DeMuro would be the only car guy on TH-cam. I am also self employed, and a few years ago when I bought the house I'd been renting for five years from the landlord, I had to go through hell. People have no idea how hard it is for the self employed to get a mortgage. They don't know that we pay 150% the taxes of everyone else, while only our net income is considered income by the bank. They don't understand that even if we've never paid a bill late, it's hard to get our credit score over 600. The Hellcat and the bike may not have been the best choices, but they were your choices and this is your channel. You do you brother, I'll keep watching.
I owned several E36 convertibles to include a 1995 318i convertible. You really want the manual top lol. The 5 speed manual was a sweet ride. Never had too many issues out of the 318/316 engines personally. Great buy! P.S: the part you found in the glovebox is a radiator clamp. They get brittle and break.
Well done on the new property, I know the costs of building are astronomical and if people understood what you need to outlay they would be happy for you to sell the stock you have. I will always be a loyal subscriber and I’m sure we all know you will buy another classic once your finances are better . Something old school Japanese would be awesome to see. Love your work and keep on doing what you do.
great buy Randy, this bmw looks slick, i wouldn't be surprised if Jessica would decide to keep it for herself. btw, that click under the peddle is the kick-down switch. drops a couple of gears and revs the engine up. as a fellow house owner i fully understand where you're coming from in terms of selling your beloved toys to cover your costs, and that ok. its also a very responsible decision. keep your head high and plan for the future. god bless.
Amazing this is actually a good bmw the 318 are better then the 325 engine reliability wise that's a very good buy randy don't worry about what people talk about hope you always have success with all your cars I know E36s go for a lot money these days
The white plastic thing in the glove box is a body side molding retaining clip. The anti theft code is for the factory radio which is long gone. Don’t forget about the A/C.
Keep the little Beemer around and give it a windshield, fix the leak, polish up the lights and back window if you can. It'd be nice to see you give these old cars more hands on love like you used to.
i absolutely love e36's above all else... my first car was a 99 e36 m3 convertible, same color, and was also automatic. regardless, was a wonderful car and was running solid when i sold it at 190k miles
Well I can say I enjoyed the content today it brings me back to the day that I wish I could have afford car like Beamer myself as a teen. So I would keep it for a while just to Cruise just like you said. Stay classy Randy!
I think that you're doing just the right thing. It's better not to get attached to cars. I would think that is especially important since they are part of how you make your living. There will always be another one around the corner - like the Beemer youi just picked up.
Per BMW repair shop system issues (regular): rough idle caused by dirty idle controller, bad cam cover gasket causes oil to leak down and smoke. Radiator leaks. Hey each owner drives harder. If it's a 4cyl and being driven hard like it was a high speed sports car... But in general rates... Well sorta well.
Sad to see Christy go. Life will change your priorities. Your home comes first over toys. Seems the Lord is blessing you in your in your business. Praise God ✝️✝️✝️
In the e36 on the autos on the a and m switch, a means automatic so it shifts like a regular auto. M means manual and that's where you use 3 2 1 down from drive. Then you manually shift it but it actually acts as a manual, so if you left it in 2 on accident it will actually start in 2nd.
Over here in the UK the Ci is what we in the industry would call a "hairdresser special" lol Saying that, the 4 pot is desirable because they tend not to blow the head gaskets like the 6 pots and perform well enough for size, trouble with the six pot is when the HG goes its eye wateringly expensive but most able mechanics can tackle the 4 pot with less issue. The only Beemer I would own these days is the 750iL, the big daddy V12 that if you bolted on some bespoke Alpina parts gives you a 200mph monster and the good thing with the V12 is the parts are sourced from the six cylinder 525e engine which is cheap as chips if you blow a rod. I would def recommend a remap and limiter delete, maybe some bigger 'jectors and some cold inductionery to give it more freedom to rev and power. The A and M is auto mode and manual mode for those times when towing a trailer or caravan and you want to engine brake down a steep hill.
Graet little car Randy .... The white clip in the bag is for the window regulator and hold the window to it .... Thy break all the time and the windows drop !!
Great car, I've always thought of owning one as a second driver. You can pay for it with savings in gas mileage over driving the pickup around town or on a trip.
I had a 1996 BMW Z3 with 1.9L 4-cylinder, 5 speed manual. Manual top. Great little car, lots of fun, nice cruiser but no power, only 135 hp. Oil leaks did it in, leaked from every gasket around the engine, oil pan, valve covers, front & rear seals, even the manual transmission leaked. Too expensive to fix every oil leak.
I like cars like these, with high miles it could either be two things someone drove the piss out of it or someone actually enjoyed the car and did the maintenance to keep it on the road, looking at the interior looks like someone took care of it.
Nice BMW, fix the windshield, and the driver's seat and call it a day :) I would hold on to this one and tootle around town in it, with gas going up it would be better driving that than the truck, and more fun :)
The house you bought seems pretty reasonable and I'm sure as your channel grows you'll pay it off fast you seem to be on a roll getting things paid for congrats on the new place you'll make some great content and great videos I'm sure! Watching you get those lucky deals are cool take them while you can and enjoy what you do!
The old school 318's are actually one of the more reliable BMW engines from that era. Not as sexy or as powerful as the 6's of course, but no VANOS to cause grief....
I think the best thing about the BMW over the Hellcat is that if something happens to it then oh well. You have less then $1000 in it right now so if a tree falls on it when it is parked with nobody inside it, no great loss. If the Hellcat gets damaged then there will be a lot of issues. It should have a power top but it probably does not work. For under $1000 it is a good deal. It would have probably fetched more from auction at the end of spring or early summer (prime convertible weather) then it would now.
Crushed to hear you are selling the Plymouth but I understand. If I had the cash I’d more than Willing give you the 15k for her. 57-58 Plymouth is definitely a dream car of mine. Looking forward to more great content :)
It is super cool to watch how enthusiastic you get over the cars you bring on the channel... you sound like a child in a candy store lol... love that.. keep the BMW for the meantime, Such a classy cute little car 👏👏👏👊👐🚗💙
Randy you really scored on the BMW.i have actually begun to understand that you either have or the good cars have an eye for you.😁😁😁🤘🤘.Yo balling bro.💪
Wow randy .. I thought you never get rid of the 57 plymouth . But I understand why family is important to us all. The BMW wow like I said I need the winning lotto #s.. that's your what 5 car or so you bought from Copart nothing hardly work with it.. nice !! Great videos love it .. thank you
Those wheels are factory Alpina lookalikes, that is a nice option. You also have the DOHC 1.8 engine which is rare, they are excellent much better than the SOHC engine.
My 1999 M3 Convertible, which is also an E36, had a totally automatic top. I guess they got a lot of complaints and made it standard in later years (at least in the US).

Do u own about any car aduction in toronto... am going to live over there and ill soon need a good car to buy
Actually a lot of people prefer to have a manual top with those cars because the automatic convertible tops can become very problematic on German cars! I believe it was optional on that generation. A & M is a manual tip tronco mode. If you put it in M you can shift it manually with gears 1-3. A is for automatic
yeah you can get over $1000 for that manual top conversion setup
The tires you got are good. OHTSU tires are not Chinese tires made out of discarded plastic bottles. They are the low line tires made by the giant Japanese tire company Sumitomo group (that makes Falken), and is sold through discount vendors like Walmart.
just dont drive over 55, even know where they are made, they are cheapies.
OHTSU are actually great tires. Had a set of them in the past. I paid 300 for the set brand new and thought if they lasted me a month I got my money's worth. They went way beyond a month lol
Wow Randy! I couldn't even tell you were filming on your iPhone until I saw in the rear view mirror. Just shows how incredible the new cameras are.
E36 with the 1.8 in it is INSANELY reliable. Sucks its an auto but it's in such good condition it deserves a good clean and paint. They are excellent first cars!
I have owned my 95 BMW 318ti (hatchback) for 5 years and that little 1.8/.9 four cyl. has never let me down. Mines at 225k. Also for the radio make sure the amp wire is connected (white wire) or the stereo will have no sound.
The manual top is what you want. The power tops are almost all broken and a nightmare to repair!
That’s absolutely true!
100%
AMEN
The white pieces in the glovebox are for the window regulator/slide rails they break and fail if they get old,easy thing to change ,the black thing is the upper radiotor holder.

The BMW is a keeper. I would love one like it .
I had a VW Golf MK4 convertible with a manual roof. It wasn't tucked away when it was folded down but it was a lot quicker and easier to operate.

Super deal on the Bimmer. Not the Mascot to the channel Randy, good by old Plymouth going to miss you. 😎👍🇨🇦
11:25 that smile tells everything
Those tires are a popular cheap model. For a rwd car like this I'd recomend something else like even a cheap set of Falkens from Discount tire
In the e36 on the autos on the a and m switch, a means automatic so it shifts like a regular auto. M means manual and that's where you use 3 2 1 down from drive. Then you manually shift it but it actually acts as a manual, so if you left it in 2 on accident it will actually start in 2nd.
Over here in the UK the Ci is what we in the industry would call a "hairdresser special" lol Saying that, the 4 pot is desirable because they tend not to blow the head gaskets like the 6 pots and perform well enough for size, trouble with the six pot is when the HG goes its eye wateringly expensive but most able mechanics can tackle the 4 pot with less issue. The only Beemer I would own these days is the 750iL, the big daddy V12 that if you bolted on some bespoke Alpina parts gives you a 200mph monster and the good thing with the V12 is the parts are sourced from the six cylinder 525e engine which is cheap as chips if you blow a rod. I would def recommend a remap and limiter delete, maybe some bigger 'jectors and some cold inductionery to give it more freedom to rev and power. The A and M is auto mode and manual mode for those times when towing a trailer or caravan and you want to engine brake down a steep hill.
PRO TIP: *Carefully* look at that ink stain on the rubber in the owners manual case. There often writing of an old insurance card or registration
Randy look at it this way,cars and bikes come and go but a family is for life. 😊
You did good with this purchase. I think they are going up in price
I get rid of the hell cat and bike, that should cover your expenses, keep the Plymouth , you never find another one like that
Graet little car Randy .... The white clip in the bag is for the window regulator and hold the window to it .... Thy break all the time and the windows drop !!
Try wiping the headlight covers with off bug repellant, makes them look new.
Great car, I've always thought of owning one as a second driver. You can pay for it with savings in gas mileage over driving the pickup around town or on a trip.
Keep it man I recently bought one for $1000 with 100,000 on the dot was a steal deal no issues
I had a 1996 BMW Z3 with 1.9L 4-cylinder, 5 speed manual. Manual top. Great little car, lots of fun, nice cruiser but no power, only 135 hp.
Oil leaks did it in, leaked from every gasket around the engine, oil pan, valve covers, front & rear seals, even the manual transmission leaked.
Too expensive to fix every oil leak.
I like cars like these, with high miles it could either be two things someone drove the piss out of it or someone actually enjoyed the car and did the maintenance to keep it on the road, looking at the interior looks like someone took care of it.
This car brings back memories! It was my first “nice” car. I had a ‘97 328is coupe. I really loved it when it wasn’t in the shop! Lol!
Randy, that BMW is a great looking car. good luck with it !!
Nice BMW, fix the windshield, and the driver's seat and call it a day :) I would hold on to this one and tootle around town in it, with gas going up it would be better driving that than the truck, and more fun :)
Nice win Randy👍👍
Man that BMW looks great randy great video by the way just like I said before screw them haters u always put out great content no matter what
@17:54 Top Radiator Mount
@18:25 Window Regulator Clip
The house you bought seems pretty reasonable and I'm sure as your channel grows you'll pay it off fast you seem to be on a roll getting things paid for congrats on the new place you'll make some great content and great videos I'm sure! Watching you get those lucky deals are cool take them while you can and enjoy what you do!
I think you should keep it for a while. It seems one owner car and he or she was a proud of it. Despite I don't like BMW's but this one is nice.
Nice grab, Randy! If those E36 convertible door panels are nice, I'll bet you they're worth nearly what you paid for that entire car!
I think you should hold on to the BMW for awhile. Fix the radiator, replace battery, update speakers, make it look good, and drive and enjoy it.
Excellent deal on that BMW. You stole that car. It's nice. I can see you driving and enjoying it Randy. 👍👍
I think if you continue to hold the top button down (
One that dropped all windows) the top will go down automatically
I want a fun convertible for next summer and can’t believe you pulled off another score like this. You’re having tremendous luck lately
i have always loved the 90's and early 2000's bmw's, they are iconic! would love to find myself a 2002 M3 one day
The old school 318's are actually one of the more reliable BMW engines from that era. Not as sexy or as powerful as the 6's of course, but no VANOS to cause grief....
I think the best thing about the BMW over the Hellcat is that if something happens to it then oh well. You have less then $1000 in it right now so if a tree falls on it when it is parked with nobody inside it, no great loss. If the Hellcat gets damaged then there will be a lot of issues. It should have a power top but it probably does not work. For under $1000 it is a good deal. It would have probably fetched more from auction at the end of spring or early summer (prime convertible weather) then it would now.
Crushed to hear you are selling the Plymouth but I understand. If I had the cash I’d more than Willing give you the 15k for her. 57-58 Plymouth is definitely a dream car of mine. Looking forward to more great content :)
Love watching the different types of vehicles or trucks, motorcycle, motorhome, boats
Idk randy this is the first time a bmw does you so well, you may want to consider keeping her for a bit and enjoying the little thing !
It is super cool to watch how enthusiastic you get over the cars you bring on the channel... you sound like a child in a candy store lol... love that.. keep the BMW for the meantime, Such a classy cute little car 👏👏👏👊👐🚗💙
Seems like you scored on this bmw. Looks like a good little car.
E36 BMW is a great car! I've had my 93 325is for over 20 years. The only problem with a 318 and an auto trans is it's slow AF
I like the 1990s BMW body styles. Just would prefer the hard top but this is still a beautiful car.
Nice car Randy Good luck with it hopefully it doesn't need much one of the nicer B M W you picked up in awhile
Hold it Randy ✌️ it's in great shape and it was supercheap
Radio may need a security code reset. Dead battery causes that. I have a 1995 318 ti Sport with 256,000 miles. Runs like a top.
Randy you really scored on the BMW.i have actually begun to understand that you either have or the good cars have an eye for you.😁😁😁🤘🤘.Yo balling bro.💪
Wow randy .. I thought you never get rid of the 57 plymouth . But I understand why family is important to us all. The BMW wow like I said I need the winning lotto #s.. that's your what 5 car or so you bought from Copart nothing hardly work with it.. nice !! Great videos love it .. thank you
Those wheels are factory Alpina lookalikes, that is a nice option. You also have the DOHC 1.8 engine which is rare, they are excellent much better than the SOHC engine.
Randy, The A is for automatic and M is for manual.
My 1999 M3 Convertible, which is also an E36, had a totally automatic top. I guess they got a lot of complaints and made it standard in later years (at least in the US).
