Deep Cleaning, Painting, And Replacing Things In My BMW E30 Engine Bay

In this video I start tackling some small projects on my 1990 Japan imported M Tech 2 BMW E30. Up first is the engine bay, due to the swap that is going to be happening later this year I didn't want to go over the top but I did want it to at least look good if I happen to have to open the hood infant of people. I went ahead and did a thorough cleaning of the bay, replaced the hood insulation which had basically disintegrated into dust, as well as painted the valve cover. What wasn't shown was a maintenance overhaul utilizing the complete tune-up kit From FCP Euro. Its not perfect but I think it shows a pretty drastic transformation, and should absolutely keep the car looking and running solid until the end of this season. I hope you guys enjoy this video, so much stuff coming soon on this car. Much love.

I started my interest in detailing when I was detailing my dads e30, the engine bay had stuck in oil and all the things that are not easy to come off, I did it all by hand never used water, any stubborn dirt just used a polish to get then off and once you clean these engines you can’t stop the urge to just pop the hood and stare at it😂 next time I detail one I’ll use a jet washer since you had no issues here, I was too new to know what I was doing. Also cleaning the intake manifold makes the engine bay pop
