James is a legend and all round top bloke. Way back in 2006 I crashed my E36 328i Sport on some ice in the car park at work in Swindon. James worked at BMW back in those days and despite barely knowing me sorted the parts to fix it, drove to Swindon after work and helped (well, didn’t 99% of it!) to get the car back on the road. He then came back again a week later to help me fix the bumper up a bit better! One of my biggest regrets about no longer owning a BMW is I can’t take my car to him. Although I have tried to convince him to get into Porsches 😄

Where is the rest of the build series? This is just getting good!!!!!

I’m impressed with the price of the strengthening plates he’s selling.

Well... I now have to go and check the underside of my E46 again thanks to renewed paranoia after seeing barney on the lift there. It's a 2000 318i with about 150 000km. It's very clean and original and I'm trying real hard to keep it in top shape. It still has the original factory fitted boot lid gas struts and they still work. Even the factory cassette player still works. And yes, I actually have some cassettes...

Been looking forward to more videos on this series can’t wait for this to be finished

Redish are the best in the business, was worried for a second it would be a bodge but this is going to be a keeper. Also keep the colour!!! I ❤

James is brilliant, back a few years now built my E36 328. Genuinely someone that knows his stuff!

We finally have progress can't wait to see the next episode 👍👍

Brilliant, the guys at Redish are the best and I admire their work! A collaboration made in heaven

Those guys work is amazing

I wondered why the name was so familar, Redish Motorsport, have their own youtube channel of the work they do, it's quite a sight to see the end results of their customers cars looking so clean on the underside.

Nice to see someone fix a car the right way here on yt.

At this rate, Car Vertical should just sponsor a full show series with Alex, Rory and Taylor.

Watch these guy's on KZfaq and I only ever see hands pointing out rust on beemers and the good work they do,good to finally put a face to the voice

This company is the bollocks of modernish car restoration, a big 👍 from me.

Fantastic, i so needed an Auto Alex update on a Friday. Thank you@!! Sets up the weekend proper

I use Redish for my f82 and they're a bunch of legends. The highest quality work. If you have an m car and are in the SW you should be using them. This should be a great build.

Finally, a face to the voice 😂 been watching these chaps for a while the work is the best in the business

Love the build , I have a 330d that needs love and attention and these episodes give me SUCH BRILLIANT IDEAS. Keep at it Alex, you are educating the world!

There's just something so satisfying about listening to a guy that knows his stuff and does top quality work on a car, proper job through and through, this is going to be epic when it's complete 🤟

Great episode! James really knows his stuff and is a natural infront of the camera. Explained everything so well!

Bunch of legends. Love this kind of dedicated detailed work!

I'd love a full feature length video of M3 Touring journey when it's finished!!

YES!!!! FINALLY!!! IVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE THIS CRAZY THING TAKE SHAPE!! Love you Alex and will always dream of visiting the UK, Europe in whole, Australia later, even Japan.

So correct me if I'm wrong but the wheels probably need to go... before they are just laying around I would be very happy to stick them on my 330d Special Edition Sport here in Germany 😂 Jokes aside... I can't wait to see the finished project and will follow the process!

Excited for part 4!

This is awesome! Redish fella is amazing, his knowldge is mind-expanding! keep it going ALEX!

ok i now can put a face to the voice on the videos ive been watching and drooling all these years. top noch guys

Good to see you back on 4 wheels

This man is doing the lords work. You have gained a sub

Can't wait to see it finished after a proper job. Is going to be amazing in that purple color with the M3 looks

So glad to see this project again, I can't wait for the M3 Touring to be complete.

I've been watching Redish motorsport for years on YT, these guys are the best!

As a mechanic I love seeing the timlapses of the work done. Unfortunately, not a lot of shows allow that to be shown 💯💯💯 defo makes people understand the hard work that goes into it

I was ready🍹But an entire episode without a "happy days"... I need to invent a new Friday night drinking game😂 Can't wait to see the finished Barney!!!

Anxiously awaiting the next update. I'm putting a zhp motor in my wagon in a few weeks. Loving all the knowledge being shared here!

Im getting really good at skipping car vertical plugs at this point. I know just the right number of double taps on the screen to skip the whole thing as quickly as possible! 👍

The quality of work Redish do is insane

We had a black z4 m coupe for a while, it was fun while it worked XD the previous owner had the engine fail on him (due to poor maintenance and lack of knowledge of what such a car requires as attention...) and had the crankshaft "replaced" cheaply meaning that the shop just tried to rebalance it XD after doing a full rebuild we swapped it for a 1100whp Audi S2 which we broke 5 gearboxes with before selling it. Currently working on an E34 M5 which is receiving a m30b35 engine with a turbo pushing about 650hp at low boost, then a e21 with a m50b25 turbo engine around 700hp and a e30 m3 which has been kept N/A for the time being at around 400hp but might end up swapping to a s38b38 depending on how the other projects go :D

That guy looks like he knows his stuff, looks like the M3 is in safe hands ! Cheers

I love James in this video, great lad! Greetings from an long time fan from The Netherlands! Have a great weekend all!🎉

Yeeees that's the detail we wanted to see! lovely

Awesome, gona have to have a e46 M3 Touring face off with Calvins car diary when they're done! That would be a good watch.

British engineering excellence, Jameses depth of knowledge is fantastic as is his sense of humour 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks for not slapping an advert on the end of the car vertical bit 😊

Need another part upload!!

Amazing build Alex, great to see you promoting the community of highly skilled experts too…an e46 m3 touring in technoviolet with oem+ upgrades sir?!…you’ll be as happy as a dog with two d**ks when this is finished! ❤️

Finally! I can't wait to see more eps (please don't make us wait months)!

James provides the most detail about your car you can ever imagine, highly recommend!

Super video. However that CSL is absolutely stunning.

Love watching dudes like this work who just know everything

This is turning out to be an awesome project, gotta get myself an e46!

British engineering fixing all the German BMW engineers problems at its finest 🇬🇧

Great series and looing forward to when you can drive Barney again on the channel.

good video, editor must have been pissed when he heard your audio!

Deeply satisfying, watching that metal work happen.

Is there any more on this build?

This is gonna be a gorgeous car when it's completed

Love how Knowledgeable and Humorous James is!

@Redish motorsport know there stuff, watched so many vids and they are fire with bmw

What a stunning colour. Barney is going to be well sorted and gorgeous after this.

The segment in the "Boot" just needed an "Im soo scared right now quote"and it would have been a great Blair Witch Project reference. You should call this the Barney Switch Project!

When’s part 4 coming out??

On the one hand i cant wait to see how it looks and moves. On the other hand as a big M tech 2 46 fan im gonna miss this look

What a legend, he could pin point the date range by a wear spot, the man knows his cars, dammm

I bought an M Sport gear knob off James in 2008. Nice chap.

Great video. I’m looking forward to seeing the the old beast back on the road. Cheers for the fun video.

I subscribed immediately!! I didn’t know you had your own channel!!!

Not an Instauser so can't enter but definately will think about one of those kits when I can eventually pull the Old Girl out of storage, keep meaning to stockpile the gubbins for manual conversion too for the day when I have to ditch the SMG to keep her living.

I really like this Beemer shop, guys seem to really know their shit and are fun to talk to.

Very nice video! Awesome shop at Redish!

I’ve been doing a light restoration on my E46 320ci convertible with 257k miles on it. To my suprise the racp isn’t cracked at all!

This guy rocks, and just bloody loves RACPs.

Awesome build things are just getting better

That M3 csl is absolutely beautiful

Im well impressed that it isn't another "I bought the cheapest .... in UK" btw any update on Škoda give away to subscriber?

I had a Vince brace (and gussets) installed on my m3, by Darragh and everything M, plus the under car redish plates...

love to hear an update on this!! cheers adam

Those guys at Redish had the right energy around them: “(…) caravan at the back: are you imagining it?”. “Yeah let’s do it” 😂

Forgetting the S54 cars in the South African market there, Alex... Not sure of the numbers, but we definitely have a few RHD cars here...

I live in Bristol and have just found the people to make my z4 e85 a v10, just got to save more.

Wow! It amaze me how cars rust in the UK.. simply stunning 😮😮

Perfect timing! Was just wondering about getting an update to this

Alex has my sense of humour, I love it 🤣🤣

Love this project ! I need to do this to my touring as well ! Great content ..

Did that just flash up as £150k for that M3 😮

James seems like a real nice guy!

Allan partridge style, best choice imoa

Wish we had such knowledgeable blokes like James here that dont charge like a wounded bull, Would be much easier fixing everything on my e46.

Great project, great people, great video. Thanks, Alex.

9:00 corvette rareness tactics

You should make some purple Autoalex stickers to match Barney!

Wow, never this is going to be a great E46 transformation. The car that BMW should have put in production back in the day.

“How much do you charge for this excellent work?” ….. “what fingering holes” 😂😂

Facelift headlights with CSL bumper and M3 bonnet would be epic.

Stunning Z3! 🥵

That's sick. Been subbed to them for a long time now.

South africa also got rhd M coupes with s54s. 35 or so with AC schnitzer stuff on them

Just spit my beer out....'Don't say four fingers when we're in here' 🤣
