Thank you for your kind words! Someday I will have a lift!

Right....Not Too Many People can do that....i did a transmission in a 1972 skylark 20 yrs ago on the ground and it took me a full day.....i Salute Him

Thank you for your kind words! Thats along time of doing this business, I bet you have learned a ton through the years!

Glad to hear that!

For sure! Thanks for the support

I’m glad you enjoyed that portion, I’ll make sure to keep them included👍

You gotta work with what you have!

Thats good to hear!

Love to hear it man!

Thank you Very much!

Thank you, I’m glad I got to give it another life!

Thanks man!

I’m glad you liked them!

Thank you!

Hope you enjoyed it!

Thanks!!

I was pretty happy too!

Thank you! Looking forward to the next one

I’m glad you enjoyed that style of video, thanks for your support!

Im glad you are enjoying the videos!

I’m sure you will! They are wonderful cars!

Yes I can, I want to create a wide variety of content with all types of vehicles but I will include some more bikes. I might even have a motorcycle video coming out in the next few days???

Well I love broken BMW's so your in luck!

Thank you for your kind words! I have learned everything I know from watching KZfaq videos and asking friends/mechanics questions

Good luck on the repair, I did a rebuild on a 16’ R3 and learned how to paint a fairing kit. It was a lot of fun!

Thanks!

Thank you! Yes the transmission swap completely fixed it, i even did a burnout before changing the tires to make sure it was a strong tranny! I will warn you though, it took me about a week of driving/checking the fluid level to get it perfect because they are finicky transmissions when the fluid level isn’t correct. Mine has 145k miles on it so I’d say go for the 80k one and check the fluid level

That would be pretty cool!

I recently sold it after putting around 10k miles on it. It did great and was super reliable while I owned it!

Haha it’s a great car but yes it can get expensive

@@LIFEBUILDZchannel I just spoke to a highly recommended BMW specialist for 30 years. He said "Take my number off your contact list". 😂 He explained why though.

@@workingtools2999 😂😂😂😂

@@LIFEBUILDZchannel But its still only 95,000 kilometers and only for $5,000. Basing on what the lady said, its mostly garaged and usually only used on summers. Cheacked out a lot of pics, no warning lights on dash, only problem she mentioned is there's a small leak but she's not sure where its coming from. Still figuring out a date for me to go check it out. On the background pic, seems like she lives in a mansion too, so I think she just got bored of it. Rich people problems, you know. 😂

That’s awesome!

I definitely wouldn’t start with a transmission swap as a first project. However, yes this overall process of fixing up cars I would totally recommend as a beginner. That’s how I learned, just simply buying broken cars, motorcycles, Jetskis, etc and learning to fix them through KZfaq videos

Yes It’s much easier to reach the rear main seal while the transmission is out. I’ll try to replace it on the next transmission swap

It sounds like it’s low on fluid or low battery. If the battery drops below 12v it will engage park also if the fluid level in the transmission is low it will lock itself back into park in order to prevent damage Hope this helps

I'm late to the party, but look into the mechatonics unit as well. Mine did the exact same thing about 4 years ago and that ended up being the problem. Been running fine since!!

I did actually do all those steps off camera, I ended up replacing the transmission in the next episode

@@LIFEBUILDZchannel I saw that video! I’m praying mine is just low on fluid and the sleeve is cracked. Car is immaculate for a 2008. Has new rubber almost worth as much as the car.

Thank you! Yeah I've never had any automotive schooling, just a lot of trial and error with KZfaqs help! I think what happened with this one is that the cable was stretched so bad that even when I yanked on it, it wouldn't release.

@@LIFEBUILDZchannel oo okaayy, watch out for those bmw v8s tho the timing chain guides are plastic and theyre known for going and being expensive to fix

@@thisguyfromyoutubesaid1537 Yes they are! I've actually done 3 timing chains on the v8 BMW's because the quote was like 10k and I found the parts for $400

@@LIFEBUILDZchannel jezzz youve done everything lol You must of fliped alot of cars. Im happy youve started documenting it. Im sure ill learn alot from these videos

@@thisguyfromyoutubesaid1537 Haha I've flipped quite a few but I also have purchased many unreliable Bmw's so I got good at fixing them. Im glad your enjoying the videos!

Hmm, do you think that caused the metal chunks as well? I thought it was the seal but then I saw the chunks, I’m not sure though
