Not a BMW fan. But you are winning me over on the i8 Rich. Very very cool indeed.
car looks cool,but personaly i would avoid 3cylinder engine
WEEEEZARD. Hello. Selling my e46 today . Be proud of me lol
You’re winning me with the assistant
I learned so much about this car over the past 18 months and am still learning more. I'm not a BMW fanboy, but it sure makes for great content.
How about i.8 Would that be triggering enough for Rich?
I freaking love this dudes slick humor. That line about people that don't own either the SRT or Track hawk getting mad had me dead.
Same lmao he just spits random stuff and snowflakes get mad😂
Yeah man he's good! That part was awesome!
Kkkkk he's right though
Look I don't know this "assistant" of his and maybe she knows all about cars and helps rebuild the cars or whatever he does. But my theory is she is here because she is an attractive woman and oh a middle aged black man? Yeah he wants a hot white assistant. Hahah. The fact that she is attractive made her the top tier pick for the job but I guarantee there are better assistants. I see dude is just going for looks hahaha
Bruuhhh!!! 😂😂😂
“All the people who own neither vehicle where so mad”😂😂
This shit had me dying
🤣😂🤣 the shade
This killed me 😂 love the comedy/humor.
*were
Where
Trust me Uncle Rich. I know alllll about that guy who lives in his parents basement, and drives a Civic Si. The same guy also knows how to run a professional repair shop better than me.
Bet he don’t have a dime piece of an assistant... Who’s for sure got meaty equipment under the hood!! Love that meaty equipment under the hood..
🤣🤣🤣 Ok Wizard are you finished fixing Tylor Broken hoopties yet
Love your channel wizard
🤣
@@shortvidz9576 The wizard is the smartest TH-camr around. He gets triple income. His shop income, his youtube chanel income and hoovies chanel income. He's jet set.
_"The two jeeps look nothing alike so I can understand why all the people that own neither vehicle were so mad"_ :D Classic mate, absolute classic.
@LJTherimin exactly
"They look nothing alike, so I can understand why people who dont own either got mad"
Off to a good start.
Rich I got a call from Atlanta PD they said they impounded my RS7 and want $3,000 to get it out??? Who's going to pay for this?
Sell some chickens. It will be fine Sam!
just steal it back gta style
Thots?
@@FireFlyDark lmao
Sam aren’t you selling Men’s underwear now? I saw your last video modeling in them for your ad. Can’t you sell a few pairs to cover the bill?
Gets steering wheel with shift lights, lets the car shift on its own...
Sam be hating hard.
I bet he's never been sued by a pizza company tho
but he:
>gets a wrecked car
>fixes it
>drives and enjoys it
bonus points: doesn’t try to sell you underwear or rebranded $5 shitty chinese headphones
Rich should send Sam that engine speaker sound thing so Sam can pretend he’s driving his Ferrari in the garage. 🤣😂😅🤣
🤣 The perfect accessory for a car that's only perfect at doing one thing, flexing 😂
This man has the kind of deadpan sarcasm that even surprises me. A deadpan sarcastic guy from the UK.
Rich is going to be living in that RV with Leenda if he isn’t careful.
Facts on ma facts!
$20 says his wife already knows Rich is playing hide the salami with Leenda
Gosh, that would be such a terrible experience.
Oh yeah Boi,.. what's Uncle Rich is thinking by putting a matching simplistic roof rack on top of an i8 that can cause major problems. 😩😷
VANLIFE with Leenda. I'd watch that.
All the people who own neither vehicle had me dying
i laughed out loud at that remark.
Rich: heres my assistant Linda
[Everyone liked that]
Exactly
hmmm thats sus
She so sexy
lmfao
@@niggy. yea thats real SUS
1:08 " so I understand why people who own NEITHER vehicle were so mad"
Best line ever 😂
I had to rewind it to make sure I heard that correctly 😂😂
OOHNNN GOD
Yeo he’s funny asl.
If you want it to go faster, you just need bigger speakers for the exhaust sound.
😂😂 Underrated comment
The lighted steering wheel added 20hp ...
And he "forgot" the roof racks were there?
Who else would put roof racks on a car like that?
Nobody, that's who.
We all love to see what this guy is going to do next.
Or a couple of M stickers
"I can understand why all the people that own neither vehicle were so mad." -Rich
Straight facts 😂😂
I can't believe how young Doug DeMuro looks in that clip.
My thoughts exactly.
Must’ve been when he was 6’5”
@@zeroturn7091 Yeah these days he can't remember if he's 6'3" or 6'4". Man he's getting old :'(
“So I can understand why all the people that own neither vehicle was so mad.” LMAOO😂😂😂 caught me off guard man.
21:05 "Useless cupholder for your drugs, marijuana or whatever.."
😂😂😂
You put your weed in there 😊
Rich, Ive gotta say. The results are stunning on your resto-mod wife.
ded
Yooo you had me dying
Rich gotta sell that quick because he knows what happens to a black man in an i8
@@gwraffe6812 bruh
=r=
"I can understand why people that own neither vehicle would be so mad" rich doesn't get enough credit for his writing.
That's why we're all here :D
Well the people who said: a supercar with a Inline 3 isn't a supercar.
They must be feeling dumb after Koenigsegg released the Gemera with a Inline 3 with 600hp and another 1100 hp of electric power.
Doesn't make the i8 a supercar
I personally don’t think that the bmw i8 is a supercar not because of the size of its engine, but because the stats of the car are not good enough for me to consider it a supercar. My dad’s Porsche has better stats, and it’s not considered a supercar as far as I know.
@@gunky2442 what year is it from
Frederic A. Truslow It’s a 2019 Porsche 718 Boxster. Top speed 170 mph
@@gunky2442 You're right that it's not a supercar but it's better value than all of Porsche's other cars
"The two vehicles look NOTHING alike so I can understand why all the people that own neither vehicle were mad" that line killed me.
Doug Demuro "rising star" LMFAO
Hey Rich! Sorry if you've already answered this, but where can I find that steering wheel? I have an i8 as well and would love to replace my stock wheel. Thanks!
Looks like it's a steering wheel from a BMW M2 Competition model with a custom finish (compared to the OEM "carbon weave")
Damn, you guys are really rich 😭
Small world... Lol
Bro check “OHC”
It's a great looking car but i was told it takes 3 parking spots to open both doors :P
upon my investigation of Leenda's instagram i have come to the conclusion that Rich's marriage must be built ford tough....cause goddamn....
Underrated comment
What is her insta
Nv i found it
I simped a little but aaa not impressed
I thought it was some next door girl shit. This is straight up instathots time to intern at uncle rich's garage
Rich talking about style and Design of the i8.
Hops in the car with His crocs on.
11/10 in the Doug Score.
😂😭🏆
9:38 - SHE IS.... SUPER ATTRACTIVE...
I swear Daddy Rich going through the longest slow-motion pre-midlife crisis
I hope that Doug guy throws you a shout out for mentioning his name, I think it's amazing how you helped out a small channel like his.
Looool
😂"small"
😂😂😂 not mentioning a small Guy like this
"so I can understand why all the people who own neither vehicle are mad."
Lmaooo I laughed really hard when he said that lolzzz
Coming Soon: Rich Rebuilds his life after new assistant leads to catastrophic marriage failure...
Lmao very true, asking for trouble 😂
Yea I like her...she seems spicy if you know what I mean.
💀
Afaik he already mentioned he is divorced
@@thetechfromheaven not surprised!
Not an i8 fan, but the rims make the look, whoever hates on them rims... idk why..
THANK YOU
Yeah the Rims are HOT!
Yo what kind of rims can I put on an astrovan to make it look baller?
They looked better before they went black around the rim. Now some times when you look it looks like it has massive tire walls.
Come on, uncle. Just answer the question every single one of your male subs wants to know: What’s your “assistants” onlyfans? 😂
Yup
When Rich doesn't think his content is clickbait enough......he brings Leenda on board and does an I8 photo shoot......🤣
😥😂😂😂
Her foundation color is "Photoshop Smudge."
NOW i understand why you got an assistant.
yup to rake in the views
She is BIG change to the channel. ASS-logically.
I'm not gonna lie I immediately clicked because of her. Not a car guy but I like rich
"i understand why people who own neither vehicle would be mad" BRUTAL
Scotty what is the best supercar to buy:
1994 Toyota Celica
The gt 40 is a good shout tho. Not the one he has but pretty lit tho.
Yes
Rich's wife approves of the assistant
If they were still married....
maybe because his wife also has an 'assistant'
@@Philippe275 Pool guy.
@@BigPaul00001 #facts
@@thatsreality5184 People keep saying they're divorced, I haven seen anything in his social medial posts to suggest it. I mean this is Rich we're talking about, I feel like he'd make some joke about it on top of the jail thing if it were a thing worth mentioning.
Funny how people think 0 to 60 in 4 seconds is slow when you know most of them don't have a car that goes that fast.
Fr people don’t realize how quick that is
"Nobody wants a cobbled together i8..." "I'm thinking an engine swap!" Excellent.
😂
yeah. disappointing
busa swap incoming
Pablo De Laforé r/ihadastroke
5.0 coyote would look be awesome in I8
“Look at me having the right tools” No Sir. The correct tool is a BUTTER KNIFE. 🍴
He's been watching my channel too much 🤣
Whoever is helping you with cutting and mastering your videos - that person is gold.
When's the 2021 Assistant Special calendar coming out?
I never heard that “the i8 rear looks like it’s giving birth to a 911” but now I can never unsee it. Thanks a lot.
😂
That was a Doug DeMuro-ism
15:46 "They actually write the code..."
TUNER: Opens excel spreadsheet
Everyone in the comments simping for your assistant, and I can’t blame them.
She has an only fans
big thirst
Revolvin Goatt a bit too harsh.
OBK Buddy of mine is asking for a link or name. You got that for me?
AMR15H go on her ig there is a link there
His assistant is cute but some of yall act like you've NEVER seen a woman before.
well i mean she has an onlyfans sooo..
Some of them probably haven’t!😂
Most havent seem much of anything, they live life vicariously through you tube
Every thot got OnlyFans now.
Face it. Some of the guys in this comment section have never seen a woman naked before......at least in real life.
Dude I love this guy. So far this build is going exactly how I would have done it. Love to see someone else who shares the same passion about cars as I do! 👍
Plot twist....RPM shifter lights are actually sound activated with the speakers.
and adds 15 hp
The chat is like a new mexico gas station, a lotta thirsty customers in line lol
Yeah she's thicc and whatnot, but the way she held that wheel made my uncomfy.
I’ve never thought the I8 looked good, but those wheels really fit it’s character!
yo rich - when you pulled out the trim tool i literally gasped while on a work call. look at you moving up and using the right tools. America is proud rich!
I for one missed the iconic butter knife
How to solve:
Step 1: get rid of the speakers
Step 2: get actual exhaust for turbo car
Step 3: yes fix the darn RV and give it rims
He can give the speakers to Sam so Sam can pretend his cars run. Perfect👍
@@WatchRichRebuildsChannel sam will also need subs to complete the transformation
honestly, I really like the i8. It looks unique and really cool in my opinion. The only thing I don't like is the price performance ratio. I think it's just too expensive for what it delivers in performance. I'm not a big fan of EV either but that's something I could deal with but the price is crazy
Rich Rebuilds: a comedian that happens to work on cars!!!
PS
“your beamer still slow”
Engine Swap: Take the 3-cyl out and put one of those Koenigsegg Gemera 3-cyls in there :) 2.0 liter 600 hp
This is the way.
That Gemera engine Probably costs more than 5 i8's would
I wonder how the i8 engine would function on E?
@@PatsGarageOnline instantly burn out a fuel pump its such a small engine lol if was on e and were to do a lil race it would eat the fuel for the amount of power its trying to force
Tiny Friendly Giant!
Honestly. It’s really inspiring to see black automotive youtubers that know what their doing. Between you and hert, I’m hella proud.
Im from Detroit and live in Detroit and im white...and i Approve this message!!!
You and me both.
I’ve owned 8 of these i8s including the Roadster.
It has to be one of the best supercars for the money, considering what it can deliver.
155(limited) top speed
991 911 killer
911 power
Insane handling
Good styling
Super efficient
And it’s a looker
I love them, and although I’m sad it’s now out of production, it is a true piece of history in BMW’s story.
yo that basement room was actually pretty sick.
Your secrets out now Bruv
Note the hand lube by the bed.
You can put pretty much a shortcut to every part of the menu on this radio-buttons...
I’ve got them on my e90 and love them!
Great work, Rich! Thanks a million for the mention. I'm hitting the weights right now. 😂
Loved the heavy breathing insert..thought you had a hernia ;)
@@alexmyers4934 dude it was horrible. Unlike salvage i8's that may have been rebuilt with bubble gum and spit, my bolt was torqued by the factory. 🤣
@@PatsGarageOnline ooh solid burn there flexing the factory fresh bolts 🔩 💪 😂
My bro Pat. The i8 authority.
@@Evapors Thanks, friend!
When you are married and own a business never get an attractive younger assistant, I'm sure Uncle Rich has fights with auntie wife.
Yep exactly
@@christian-gu5oq theres no wedding band on him though
When some saudi crashes his Koenigsegg Gemera you can buy the 600hp 3 cylinder engine, well if you can afford it
The look on your face. Like, "What are you doing? Who are you posing for? Can I get some help over here?"
“Small upcoming youtuber Doug Demuro” 😂😂😂
1:08 LOL, I was so dead when he said, "people who own neither of em"... So accurate
The way Leenda holds the steering wheel gives me anxiety
Quix she’s tensed up and then becomes relaxed
@@vatomalo68
Something is rising and it's not (you can fill the blank yourself)
In 8 months Rich is going to be living in that RV with Leenda and touring the US
Him and wife are fighting about her, no questions.
10:30 Absolutely, yes. Rich remember the first law of TH-cam: Everything is content. Secondly and more importantly as a business owner you want to help a good employee as much as possible because the cost of finding another is 10x the cost of keeping a good one.
I think the i8's wheels fit that car's look perfectly.
THANK YOU
@@RichRebuilds You are really searching deep for rim supporters in the comments 😂
Woah woah woah, I do NOT live in my mother's basement. I live in her garage, get it right.
Her- “econoline”
Me in my head-
“Big deal going down tomorrow, the Zody's on Whittier.
Look for a blue Econoline van with 20 kis of coke inside.
You'll be on the six o'clock news.”
If you know you a real one... 🤣👏
Should you help Leenda...aren’t you going to jail Rich?! 😂😂😂
11:20 - I don't think I ever saw someone holding the steering wheel like that , that's wrong on so many levels, a second rebuild of the I8 may be coming soon ;)
Not even when turning? That’s how I flip a u turn
2:49 dat WoW guy from South Park picture on TV was EPIIIIC SAVAGE haha
“Where da white women at”. Blazing Saddles
Noooice!!!!
This dude got lotion in his trunk with his face on it 😂💀
A gift from a subscriber if I remember
People hate those wheels?!?!
I’m surprised! The wheels were the first thing I noticed! I think they’re awesome!
Great build!
Rich's new vid: Replacing my wife and kids with my assistant 😂😂
Edit
Next vid: destroying my assistant's rv and not getting her a new one
I'm starting to think Rich is finishing more projects than Samcracc
"save your breath because I already own it"
I love this channel
Smh I was ready for rich to say “rev up your engines” for the intro
Linda's eyebrows goes well with the sound of i8. You should give her this car.
What?
How?
It’s all fake
15:30
It felt like you're plugging in a USB
Dang that new assistant is very talented definitely show more her in the vids so we can see more of her talents.
Talented? Did you see the way she holds steering wheel?
I’d go for that. Make sure she doesn’t talk too much.
Rich, we came HERE for TWO things.
The THICC ASSISTANT
And
The THICC ASSISTANT
Can confirm
@@Syncopia ditto
And that is before kids imagine how big it’s going to be after kids. Whoofa
@Andy Richards I mostly agree, but it still got me to click lol
9:22 shes like "i know all about faking sounds 😒" 😂😂 and this is his response 9:31
Fun fact: you can fast forward preview time by choosing 2x speed
You got me good man
@@Mola_Ola Did it actually work?
I seen the i8 on the road the same it came out, and I honestly thought it was very futuristic looking.. definitely seemed like a concept car that a manufacturer actually went through and made it reality
I like his confidence in losing the hood pull covers
Hey rich since you got yourself that assistant, is your wife up for grabs?
Bruh 😂
She is
message me
Rich Rebuilds HAHAHAHAHAHAH he aint kidding
Rich Rebuilds 😂😂😂😂😂
Rich when or u gonna infiltrate telsa as an employee an collect more data for your subscribers
I think he's all but moved on from Tesla's
Soon
Awesome!!!!!

Lol true
Who is she lol
3:37 RichRebuilds- "Save your breath because I already own it."
Me thinking of the 6th or 5th gen mustang.
Bruh youre assistant is a rare breed. Shes got good taste in old machinery. Help her out boi!!!
Who cares about the assistance honestly it's super wierd that she's just here now. It's like my dad's girlfriend that's 20years younger.
Why even hire her, anyyyyybody can do her job, her salary cant be worth making appointments, taking out the trash, ordering parts
@@oldpremium1493 Literally anybody, this I think was a ploy to boost her own popularity as well as improving Rich' clicks...will it work? Sure because most guys are despo and have their hams in their hands, got to lift your self confidence and get yourself a real woman guys...stop simpin!
agreed
What does she even do? Like I know he already has his mechanics. She's probably only there so he can get/keep viewers, unnecessary
Yeah I think so too i don’t know why rich hired her
I love how yt hype you up before the video with the countdown and when it gets to 0 it's like "hey guys its rich"
Damn living with my mom and own an SI.
Shit hit deep
9:54 I like how the blue seatbelts make you look like school crossing guard
