Must be AI generated. Project cars are never finished. Especially yours❤
take it around the Nurburgring???🤔
Lmfao I just posted a comment the same then saw this 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 best comment ever
Rondje Nürburgring will give it the full factory reset!
This car at the ring with Alex and misha sat in the back with that young lady driver with the polo driving them around 😂
2:14 nice of em to spray your old wheels tyres and nearside floorpan red aswell
RIP Matt, you will forever live on in everyone's memories. i hope your last years were your best. you have made everyone proud!
The wheels on Taylors E30 looks loads better imo.
Can't go wrong with a lovely set of alpina wheels 👌
Liked the BBS s more
Alpina wheels are getting way overplayed. Not a fan on non-alpina models at all
Those bbs were fake reps
@@mattparkin7224 true....but there's a reason they get used so much.
Looked better on the old wheels imo
Always will look better on them bbs’
I love how subjective it is. He was all over the Moon for these wheels and when they showed them, I tilted my head a bit and muttered "Really? These?! Well, you do you." IMO it now looks like an old Passat with a BWM logo on it.
I agree
Almost puked when I saw the new ones. Totally do not fit the car.
@@blockbertus 100%
The over spray everywhere 😂😂😂😂
In germany we say : Verkaufslackierung 😂😂😂
I have a feeling there was a hasty deadline involved 😅
Watch the previous video - the orange peel is real.
Yeah, but the English...🤷🏾♂️ I mean, you've got to love them, but there's a reason they don't make stuff.
Valve cover and even worse, they chrome "kidney-grill"...
The English do make stuff, they are actually very good engineers
Love what you done but prefer original wheels
Same here. Really great job on the car, but the original wheels look better.
100%
Refurbed or similar style bbs’s or Alpina style wheels are WAAAY nicer. Other than the overspray and poor exhaust welding (which tbh you’ll never know is there unless the cars in the air) … the car is great. Love the content as always
Same
Yeah wasn't overly keen on the wheels .. or the interior to be fair. The grey was cool. The stripes look really old fashioned.
All that hype for wheels that look like you'd find them on a 2000's saxo
I wouldn't even put them on a saxo, you would half the cars £500 value straight away! 😂
You’re clearly not familiar with the heritage of Hartge rims, specifically for BMW’s of this era. Look it up, you might learn something..
@@360Rondomstill allowed to dislike them
@@360Rondom Regardless of the heritage the wheels imo are simply awful
Tbh I wasn't to keen on them, but I thought there's gotta be some connection for using them
The resto is stunning, however the over-spray in places is really doing my head in
Was looking at that too. On the INSIDE of the wheels was what I couldn't get over...
@@petymeg2033 noticed that too, i dotn even know how. Maybe they were rushed to get it finished? Even the weel at 2.16 jfk thats bad
She’s a 10 footer
@@petymeg2033I had to skip back to make sure I hadnt seen some kind of reflection. Paint on the inside of the tyres! and all the corners
I watched the upload twice and didn't see any over spray.... did you lot watch a different upload?
That welding on the exhaust, oh my lord. That's BAD. Surely a little sleeve and a couple of clamps would have been much better
Agreed that looks awful!!!
You too? The only accurate description of that welding is 'ignorant'. I couldn't suffer just to know it was there, even if nobody sees it, I would know? I wouldn't sleep right!
Thought the same. All that effort to bodge that centre piece!
The word you're looking for is.. shitbox grade.
Exactly!! All that work to get that car to what it is now and then you f-up the welds on the exhaust. Unbelievable
The end was poignant, awesome to see Roger take the road once again in full form.
R.I.P. Matt, your memory will live on.
Also, Alex, make up some collaboration Matt and Auto Alex stickers so we can remember him by and donate some money to his cause.
Yeah agreed. All profits from them should go to charity
New to this channel, Who was Matt?

Those welds should be a crime.
They work, no one sees them :) can you do better :)
@@GlennWilson-ms4js 100% yes i could and when ur gna spend the effort to ice blast and seal then fully restore the frame yes i would say its a big let down compared to the rest of the car your one of those who hides the mess instead of cleaning it i cant respect that as a car lover 🤣🤣🤢
Yeh they need to be fixed
@@AW-lq9bf i feel like even alex agrees! Rest of the car is beautiful!
It got the “MOT pass special”. Hopefully it will be redone but I suspect Alex will not spend for that…
3:10 that is some SHOCKING welding....looks like Ray Charles welded it with his feet 😂😂😂
It was a temporary repair to get it moving. It won’t be staying, I’ll be tig-ing it properly soon enough
I see a Roadkill/Blasphemi fan! 👍
@@scottyj8112 you would be correct! - I’m ex race/ vehicle testing support so know how to get by quick and dirty
@@jooshyplease don’t
The overspray on everything is excellent
care and attention.......ZERO! lol
At what time stamp? Watching on my mobile and missed it.
@rienkhoek4169 the whole video....😂
I'd be fuming
@@avdavd4729 Where? Watched it twice ( on my phone), don't see any?
The exhaust was free flowing... Before those welds lol. But hey, better than my welding lol. Nice car!
Unpopular opinion, the wheels dont do it for me, some classic BBS suit these better in my eyes.
An opinion so unpopular it's already been expressed by some of the most thumbed up comments under the video. So brave!
Those welds.. wtf.😂😂
Joshie is the coolest and calmest head in your entire team. More of him please 😊
Nice wheels, re spray was a rush job to get it to rustival, but having followed the YCR rust renovation from day one the body will outlast the owner
I like the appreciation for the Yorkshire Car Restoration guys, I wish all the car TH-camrs whose cars they worked on gave as much back. Don't mind the Hartge wheels as much as some commenters but I'd definitely rather have the original BBSes.
He weld the zorst blindfolded? 😂
Right 😂😅😢
spent all that time and money cooking up a masterpiece and splattered ketchup on it
Congratulations on a new E30! I have to admit, I'm a big fan of Taylor's ex E30 with Alpina wheels 😊
15:10 - I absolutely agree, these older cars would just be scrapped if it weren't for people like us, a big reason I've just bought a bright green SAAB 9-5 turbo estate with over 140k miles.
I'm a glass half full kind of guy and never negative in the comments... but... I'm disappointed... After all Ryan's hard work this car deserves the time afforded to it for a complete strip down and a 1st class repaint rather than the blow over YCR only had time for, I bet they're cringing right now. Love the E30, had a '86 325i BITD, this one could and should be one of the best.
But it's MOT'ed and saved and loved and ready to march on to 500.000miles! - oh and the wheels... Because Hartge! - I approve!
It’s better just to enjoy the car and drive it, it’s a touring not an m3 so what’s the point?
@@man-mq9rk Always good that a car lives on but Ryan spent 6 months chopping the rot out of Rodger and just because "it's not an M3" you think it's not worthy? Tourings rule!
@@forsh3546 you probably wont like to hear this but I cannibalised a touring about 8 years ago to repair my 325 coupe lol
@@man-mq9rk 😬😱😭That's it! - We're done! 😅
Ray charles let loose with the MIG welder!
looks tidy other than the bodged welds and overspray though
It’s only a temporary solution it’ll be changed soon enough
Well done lads, Roger looks fabulous. Had a good chat with Ryan from YCR at shedfest, what a genuinely lovely guy and so passionate about his trade, Great bloke.
Again well done lads, much needed this week
Did you ask him why there was so much overspray?😂
You pretty much brought tears to my eyes….someone who could articulate how important it is to keep these awesome cars on the road! Thank you, great content!!!!
Love the overspray everywhere.
Quite a bit of overspray
Quite a bit? It's everywhere 😂😂
@CHRIS_snm I was trying to be delicate, haha
If the blue BMW Touring Estate has gone to Perth, Australia, you should road trip the red one to Perth, Scotland!
another amazing video alex! looking forward to seeing more of this build. thank you for all your help
To all complaining that the welds ont he exhaust are crap...
It's called the "the MOT is booked, we've wasted too much on this already, just get it on and air tight and we'll sort it later"
Also, it's getting an engine swap, which means a new manifold, so it'll be removed with that anyway. 🤷♂️
A project car is never trully "finished" there is always something that can be improved, tweaked etc. That is why i love working on cars, i am always learning something new.
both old and new wheels look good, it all came together very nicely
RIP Matt that’s sad , hold your head high Alex you did an amazing thing for him .
Car looks amazing and still the best channel on TH-cam .
So glad that you have finally finished the E30. One of my favourite cars in your collection and one of my personal dream cars too, in your exact spec! Can't wait to see you do some fun stuff with this absolute MACHINE
Sitting here miserable with a flu all week. And your podcast yesterday had me in tears. So thanks for the video to bring some bright spark to the week. And yeah I prefer the original wheels - but each to their own. 😉
Uff da look at those welds. 😬
7:25 wasn't expecting the jacket but it brings out the colour in your eyes mate
As a kid my dad had a 325i m sport in dolphin gray with a scorpion dtm exhaust, litterly what made me fall in love with cars
Awesome Alex. Also I love Josh just popping up behind you in most of your content, it's like Where's Wally will a appear. Keep it up Josh, it makes us laugh 😂
Jooshy is the MVP here :D
Congratulations on the build. Aside from engine issues it looks epic!
As for your friend, Matt. I'm really sorry to hear what happened. RIP fella.
Must admit, i used to own a Calibra turbo 25+ years ago and i fitted a Scorpion exhaust to that also-it sounded fantastic.
Really happy with the look of this car, however the respray worries me. It looks like they were respraying it in a dirty workshop as opposed to a clean spray booth. Also, I can see sooo much overspray and some paint runs 😢
Yep didn't look like much of a spray booth to me. Was really disappointed seeing that.
Love the MOT advisory of "Underside Undersealed"
I was just about to check lol, nice one
Yeah dont quite understand that myself. Thought it was extensively undersealed.
@@TopCatFCD probably hiding more rust that wasn't fixed 🤣 you only do this underseal if its rusty
Nice overspray. Looks perfect.
My favourite of all the cars you've had on your channel. Stunning car, well done!
What a fantastic episode and what a journey Roger has been on! Your mods have been the icing on the cake, very tasteful too! Good work lads & tha js for the mentions! ❤
Looks good I just hope the weld on the suspension legs/hubs is better than the weld on that exhaust 🙈🙈🙈😎🤣
Australian here. We never got the E30 tourings sold here locally. At least here in Victoria, we can utilise club rego which is for historic cars 25 years or older. Glad that Taylor's car is going to a new home.
Roger looks bloody amazing and love the wheels and interior
Can't you take it to Rich's fab for the exhaust? All that work and to then bodge the exhaust is a shame. Looks 👍
OR Adams fab co @FabCoUK
It’ll be getting sorted with the next plan for the car..
if you watched till the end Alex mentioned it will be getting a m54b30 engine so the manifolds dont really matter because they will be changed with the engine swap
@@jooshy sorry that you're having to put up with so much bollocks in the comments mate, massive respect for what you've done
What the F is that welding Joshy? 3:10
Roger is looking awesome. My condolences to Matt's family. I am glad he had such an amazing finally months. Look forward to the classic challange xx
Looks amazing! Now for the E46 Touring
Now it´s time for anything BUT a BMW.
nah
Hartge wheels. Smashed it!
Perfect for the E30
Loved seeing Roger back and seeing jooshy becoming one of the main presenters on the channel now. A underrated member of the team. Could give Taylor some competition as fan favourite.
I’ve got a turbo M54 e30 coupe and the little comment at the end when you said “a successful summer fixing them up”
It’s been ‘summer’ since 2017. And although it’s 540hp - it’s still broken as of now
I’d have to replace that manky carpet for new, given how much work has gone into to that restoration.
It can’t be
Picks jaw up from floor.... Well done to the lads.
Cant it be?
Love the car and the wheels set it perfectly
Reporting from Perth Australia here, will be keeping an eye out for that e30, nice Manta B in the background at Yorkshire car restorations as well which is something i imported from Scotland to Perth Australia.
Are those Hartge rims? Noice!
You better take care going over speed bumps because the alu sump pan is fragile and sticks out below the car.
What do I think? 🤔 Think it looked better on the original wheels 😂
That double humpback bridge you just went over has a lot of memories for me in my Mary quant Austin mini 1340cc
Lovely touch at the end there.
Yay Jooshie is back. This trio is perfect! Roger is looking epic now too! Love the wheels and exhaust sounds amazing!
I wasn't first to arrive, but I had done it right. Parked up rushed in the house, tv on, time for Auto Alex, followed by All the Gear and a disappointed notification swipe on the CT video
Sorry fella, that was my fault 😂 got the first like as well 🤣 🤣
Will have to keep an eye out here for your E30 in Perth, Taylor
Stunning ❤❤❤❤ You guys have single handedly given me a weird love for beemers which I’ve never had before 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Taylors classic mini needs to go to yorkshire car restorations next
Don't think they're upto that
@@skipperstu9375 aw
It needs to go to the scrapyard
@@skipperstu9375Yeah you need something to weld the new pieces to!
Minis are easy compared to the BMW. All the panels are available so you could easily replace the entire floor. No making patch panels by hand.
Did a pigeon shit on that exhaust? Finished you say what about the roof lining? Old wheels were better.
Liking the motor very much. Thanks for jogging my memory also. Love that road around Dinton Pastures :)
I might be one one of the only ones but i love the new wheels . Something similar to what that blue e30 that went to Australia would look even better
Did stevie wonder weld that exhaust 🤢💩 should have taken it to rich for proper treatment.
No refund off the shitfest.
Thanks for letting me and my disabled son down, we didn't even get in. Thanks 👍 ps was it painted 🎨 with a catapult
Bro its sooooo nice i love it , needs yellow inner lights too to finnish it off!
Couldn't agree more, it's all about keeping them alive! Can't wait till my E30 is finished 💯
As much as I enjoy watching this channel, there seems to be a serious lack of actual work being done by the person whom the channel is named after. Too much getting other people do all the work {Taylor, Tom, Josh} I've been watching you for years now and i want to see work being done, fixing, painting, tuning, racing etc etc. But it seems to be a whole lot of videos for not a lot of content. Please kindly revert back to the old Alex and get stuck in. It doesn't take 2 videos for us to watch you put a set of rims on a BMW that was completely renovated by other people!!! SORT IT OUT!
So glad you're happy with it Alex :)
I had an e30 325i in the early 90s, I've had plenty of cars since, but that's the first car I'd have back in a heartbeat ❤
Brings back lots of good memories of my almost identical 318i back in 2005 that i brought back from the brink. One of my regrets of getting rid that and my 325 sport 😢
Searches in E30s for sale has shot up after this series. Those wheels are amazing also! great work lads
Should of kept original wheels. Now you look like a builder who just arrived from Poland
15:46 Had this happen with my E36 years ago, was something related to the fuel pump from what I remember, was either a bad relay or pump.
Rory love the transition from the headlight to the engine head 😄
That welding on the exhaust🫣
Custom gear knobs from Built by Basil are works of art. Have 1 on both of my cars ❤
Can't believe they got Elton John to do the car vertical ad
I feel so motivated after watching this!
A$$ blaster's? that sounds fun ☺☺ 👍👍
For e30 those are not jacking points! Its factory assembly chassis holding points. When you use them as a jacking point you break the seam sealer and they start to rot. Real points are: diff, center of front subframe and 2 on the pinch welds on both sides. So yes you can remove them when you are just repairing the panel it gives a cleaner look and less place for moisture to creep
Nice touch at the end.
I have no clue how many of these comments you read, but if you do pay attention...
I'm a 59-year-old retired custom paint sprayer and airbrush artist. I reckon that I could teach at least one of you how to use a spray gun and properly refinish a car within a week.
I am not looking for any TH-cam content, I would just like to help you guys expand your skills.
Get an Hartge 2.7 or Alpina C27 engine dropped in it. You will not be disappointed. An M20 long stroke with high lift cams is superb. I have some C27 chips for the ECU.
Woow, Can't wait to meet you in Wroclaw 😁
I hoped you would go Ultrace then you mentioned about going to Poland hope to meet you there!
hey its cool saw you collect him at shed fest and with the mods its great cheers for shed fest was a great day
