This E46 bottom should be exposed in a BMW museum, that's beautiful!

Wow, you guys obviously take pride in your work and it shows. Magnificent job, even the bolt markers are lined up!

I'm doing the same job on a Touring here in South Australia. I pulled the car apart years ago. This video is a great reference to the reassembly. I have to say I'm so glad my car is 100% corrosion free. Living in the driest state in the driest country in the world. I just can't fathom the rust you guys have to endure.

i am a vw technician and to see this is absolutely brilliant. the attention to detail is phenomenal. i also drive a 2005 e46 330cd cabriolet. would love to get this treatment done. 10/10 well done redish motorsport

This man has posted the cure for ocd 😂🤣

Beautiful effort and sincerity to the customer to make the job perfect 👌. Thank you for the upload. This restores my faith that people can do the job that they are paid to do with skill , knowledge and pride . Well done lads . That’s how I like to do my tuition work , the best I can for my students . 😀👍👌

OMG!!! This is just incredible, brilliant. You guys have incredible attention to detail and patience. Great job. I would definitely use you guys if I lived there.

This is some of if not the best work I've seen from a shop. Love to bring my m5 to you guys

Would love to do this on my 325ci. Us 46 enthusiasts know it's not about the resell value, it's about enjoying the car for as long as possible, still would be interesting to know roughly how much this cost the owner though.

I just discovered this channel. This was the most detailed restoration I've seen!!!! Wow. Subscribed

My guess is probably north of £4k inc all those new parts and wotnot, they stopped doing the reinforcements for a while as it's so involved and they were only charging for about half the hours, it's all on their site; I believe they were charging £2.5k for them but might be wrong. I guess it's difficult for them, this is what they're known for, they could charge £70 or £80 an hour for dropping oil and doing routine stuff but choose to do hard involved jobs for a lot less. You can feel the passion in his narration, a real sense of pride in his work! Incredible workmanship and as soon as you see the vids you can see why their reinforcements cost so much more than some other providers.

I have pretty much no intention of buying a BMW but this came up as autoplay and I just let it run. Hats off to you mate, we should all aspire to be at this level of planning and execution.

Say what you want about the value of investment, but I have been to the 10 biggest and best art museums in NYC and I didn't see ANYTHING as pretty or interesting as this. To me, this is beautiful art. 😍👍

thi guys does some proper work, god damn man wish my local mechanics were as good :(

This has got to be the best use of money ever. This car is going to be the best maintained car in the world.

I would die to have that done to my 04 330ci.... great work bud cheers!

I was amazed how clear the music came through wearing headphones. You must have a killer sound system in that garage! Great taste in music too.

Would sand blasting be a good alternative to the wire wheels and angle grinders?

The attention to detail here is really extraordinary! Your passion for BMWs is clear to behold. What’s the cost of a restoration like this and timeframe (days off the road) to get it all done? Thanks!

The level of detail just made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside ❤️

This is treating my ocd well

1:02 this dude is playing a nasty Techno music playlist :D Nice work man.

Perhaps I missed it, but what products were used for the underbody paint/final finish? I like the color and finish....

That is incredible work! Have 330ci that would love to have this treatment!

Love the music in background excellent work aswell

Hey honey i spent 10k on our 5k car. "Show me what you done" Err you cant see any of it.

Beautifiul work. There are so many videos of people doing crap rebuilding, it is nice to see some people with pride in their work putting it on display. Thank you.

This video fits my attention to detail . Watching this was so satisfying .I love how you take brackets off their spot welds and clean behind them , ! also like por15 , it is a great product for rust. I use it a lot on my projects . Powder coat looks great as well. Very nice work . Impressive !

Love the long video from you guys , more of these please :)

i would be interested in seeing the final bill after this. cant be cheap. a price break down would be cool

Finally Techno and House music in a shop. Respect.

Wow... beautiful work... and one lot of it. I have been working on exactly this on a P38 Range Rover 2001 Holland & Holland. Not complete yet. So far without exhaust system, new wheel bearings, new brake speed sensors, and new ride hight sensors, it has been $7,000.00 in parts, and a lot of work. Replacing all brakes, joints, bushings, bolts, and some heat shields need to be remade in stainless for durability. Will make new stainless exhaust, and weld the new fabricated stainless heat shields to the exhaust! Disassembly to this stage... was a really the hardest part due to various frozen fasteners and parts. Be ready to use lots of penetrating oil, heat from propane or MAP gas torch, and a bottle of CO2. You might also damage some wire connectors that have become brittle, which will then need to be replaced and installed into the wiring. You will likely replace all the plastic mounts for the various lines and wires... for the same reason. The Heat and CO2 freezing are the only way to unstick some metal parts... this cracks the corrosion or the thread sealants used. We opted to remove all the undercoating, paint and primer from the entire underside, a brutal job with wire brushes to bright clean, so to get into all the nocks and crannies. Ladder frame we use the 3M Strip and Disks, as well as for heavier parts but sheet metal you have to wire brush and or use finer #M cleaning disks. This involved raising the body 4" to 6" with it higher at the back. The cost for wire brushes and the disks has exceed $400.00. We found using a heavy duty low speed straight grinder like the Makita at 5600 rpm works better than like a Fein at 10,000 rpm... burned up a Fein. Doing it outside below 30 degrees F works best do to the undercoat being brittle, and melting less. But this rules out the use of pneumatic tools due to freezing after 3-5 minutes of use, and we have refrigerated moisture removal air supply, work well in shop. Also, note below freezing you don't have to worry about surface rust reforming, even with lots of cold rainy days. Cleaning differentials is basically about 6-8 hr. job each. The suspension parts etc add up time in a hurry. Painting takes more time as etching, phosphate pre-coating, drying, painting with three coats of KBS coatings Rust Seal followed by one or two of KBS Top Coat is time consuming... worse that must be done without exceeding time between coats, to prevent scuff sanding too. Use the KBS Crystal Clear coat on the aluminum parts after wire brushing, etch and phosphate treatment. It is really true the plastic shield help, behind them little if any other than cleaning dirt. However, the front tires kick up a lot of rain, snow and de-icer so anything that touches gets sand blasted and rusty. We found the rubber over-molds with steel inserts to be junk, things like mud flaps... steel roots out... don't use... opt for even the Chinese plastic substitutes hold up better. Biggest surprise has been the fuel tank opening cover the sheet metal retainer was almost totally eaten away with rust despite protected position. Getting rid of the aluminum over hardboard heat shields is important, and it's better to fabricate stainless steel ones that weld onto the exhaust pipes (if Stainless Steel) than attach to body. Biggest surprise, well four besides the fuel tank opening closure, and anything steel overloaded in rubber junk: a) bumpers held on with very weak and corrosion prone attachments, b) finding the speed sensors for the brakes absolutely frozen in bronze bushed mounts to the axle housings, c) the absolute junk fragile heat shields made of fiberboard covered with basically dimpled aluminum foil... falling apart, and d) plastic fuel and air suspension lines... can live with plastic air suspension lines but the fuel lines must be metal preferably stainless steel or Aeroquip 601 aircraft crashworthy spec hoses.

I assume this cost more than the car was worth. But it sure turned out nice

You guys should do a video on the shop sound system, you guys always bangin proper choons.

What a great video and process. Thumbs way up! You and the owner should be proud of the work. What I don't understand is with going through all fo this why not address the know rear subframe weakness by adding one of the available weld in bracing kits. I also would have definitely done braided brake lines and an limited slip rear dif.

Never to be driven in the rain again, ! Fantastic Job guy's, I'd love to do this to my 330i M sport,

An amazing restoration and very detailed commentary. I wonder what this cost, I would assume £6k. Considering this is only a 330Ci, I hope the exterior of the car matches the condition of the underside. The MOT man will have a heart attack... I get the whole sentiment thing as I’m just as fastidious with my cars regardless of money spent, so good on you for doing this on your prized possession! Same it’s not an M3 though, but 330Ci’s are still great great cars

This is really good, lovely car restoration done to the highest standard that exists.

I just bought a 2004 E46 convertible zhp.i have to replace the suspension and I have no clue where to start . I wish you were in Atlanta GA..you did an amazing job..it looked perfect

The video's are awesome, also love the background music!! Well done!!

what an incredible job you have done there!! Stunning, those bmws are great cars!

Absolutely stunning. So satisfying to watch. Good job lad.

4 grand for an OEM BMW exhaust! That's truly mental. Powder coating seems a more sensible option... Lovely work you've done there and quite an investment in the future of that car by that owner

That (Ci) is the best car ever built, EVER (I mean look and steering, power and interior, sound system and etc) - LIKE ALL THAT CAR)

How much would it be? I wish I had the money for do that in my e46 m3

Sounds like you've got a good taste in cars AND in music.

Love listening to your accent. You're vocabulary is very polished. I absolutely adore the attention to detail. Too often the underbody of a car goes overlooked. #underbodies need love too....

can I get the part numbers for those fuel tank plastic covers? they look amazing and I want to fit it to my 325ci

Nice work.. personally I'd have gone for blue coloured calipers too..red doesn't seem right somehow

Actual sustainable enviromental consideration in the car industry being shown here.

I can’t get over how good this work actually Is.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful work. People talking about how much it costs. If you love the car, it's worth whatever it cost. This is high quality craftsmanship. Good on Redish Automotive, better on the owner.

Wow. Amazing job! Will keep this in my mind if I ever get the M3 CSL weekend car...

I feel sorry for anyone who will be inspecting this vehicle at the MOT Center after they get under a vehicle.. get a spare panties😭😭😭

Loving the tech-house sets in the background.

That guy made a good choice restoring the E46 😍 good job

you've got some great music going on

lol id like to see you restore my 2000 323i. it has 250k miles or 402k km... and its always lived in the rust belt. the body is rusting away now. id wonder how bad the undercarriage is.

I live in Ontario, Canada. I have a 2001 330ci and under side needs to be refreshed. I really admire your work and I would love to have you guys do my car. One day, hopefully 🙏🏽 . Awesome work guys!

This is what is called restoration very good job 👍

Lovely work and detailed video. Lovely to watch.

Holy crap thats good looking work! Wish i could bring my E34 there but you guys are a tad far away im afraid.

Great job, the man hours on the underside must have been insane.

Interesting. I did almost the same thing on my 2002 325xi. Didn't have time to manage the heat shield or the exhaust, which was still in very good condition but I did pull the subframe and brackets and powder coated them while changing all the bushings, bearings and seals. Chose the nearly the same colors as you. Except the subframe...which was a metallic blue.

Why didn't you guys do rear sub frame reinforcement

This thing is cleaner than my kitchen.

This has to be a testament for the E46 chassis.

Great work. Always great to see your content, keep it coming. Loving the Jam & Spoon tunes in the background!

20,000k for new car or restore my old e46 id choose tp restore my old e46

You should do a estimate price on such a piece of art !

Mind sharing the playlist being played in the background? wicked tunes.

Beautiful Job! I would recommend dry ice Blasting to speed up that job!

Can you torque the bolts accurately if you apply grease to the threads?

Would love to know and feel what it drives like. Amazing work

the age of love with age of love @ 35.00, thats oldschool 90's house so nice.

Very nice undercarriage suspension and components, brakes, piping, wiring, all.

I want to do this with my e46. The amount of work is disgusting tho :D

This is the material that used to attract people to car forums. Nowadays it's all KZfaq and IG...

Unbelievable attention to detail and repair fantastic stuff

just watched entire video. astonishing work, well done and congratulations

turn the music off

Nice work, but it was mostly 2 hours of a blue glove pointing at things....

I'd like to share this video with friends around the world who own BMW's. But they would think I'm insane, They are people who are in the Motor Trad. But again you "Blew IT". BIG TIME.

nice music (even Jam&Spoon playing :)...like ur taste of car&music! awesome job!

So after all that they should do a review on how the engine sounds like and how the car drives 🤨🤨🤨

Amazing work 🔥⛽️🚀

Those M3 undertrays aren't to keep dirt away. They create a flat floor to help air pass quickly under the car for high speeds keeping the car on the ground.

What a wonderfull car and restoration. I've just bought a 323ci manual. Working out the outside, it's going to look awesome. But my rear axle could use an overhual.

Feel sorry for the guy in the parts department having to sort out all those intricate spares orders!

Still one old nut unchanged ... you. Amazing job on an amazing car.

good music, and great job on the bmw

This is unbelievable absolutely incredible work real engineering at force!

I would take my car to mechanics just to show off the underside of my car After this.

missed a spot! 2:08:21

Need this done with my e46! Nice vid mate

Great video. If you absolutely love your E46 M I can see doing this. As long as you plan on keeping it for yourself to drive. But if you're planning on selling it and getting your money and effort out of it ....not so much.

Nice Vid, but PLEASE stop playing music while explaining your doing. It´s very annoying.

You really powder coated used springs.....

I've never seen anything as perfect as this

I'm impressed, very impressed !
