Maybe not one of your better buys Dean, you must have a very understanding wife that's all I can think of.

The fact there isn't many parts available for sale yells me it's worth more in bits

Best way to repair any BMW front suspension in my experience is change the whole corner for a complete undamaged item, you will chase your tail as you will find alot more damage to parts that actually look ok. Its always impossible to tell looking at them. Usually you find this out at alignment time. There is no profit to be had in repairing salvage like this. You will find once your finished you could of bought a straight one for the same money. There is only one winner buying from Copart & that is Copart themselves, every time. Been at this job for 40 yrs & the salvage job is waste of time now.

That looks like it's spun and 'reverse entried' into something, whatever they hit probably fell onto the roof. Since there doesn't seem to be any damage to the paint finish I don't think it's rolled at all

That is showroom fresh compared to the M240 Salvage rebuilds uk bought recently!🤣

Ouch! I'd say it's been spun (hitting a few things along the way) and then gone backwards into a muddy ditch, looking at the state of the exhaust etc. Let's hope it's not too battered underneath.......

Certainly looks like you enjoy a challenge Dean 🤣 but from first glance this could be an interesting rebuild IF the parts are available and not too expensive.

Excited for the content of this one. The panels are going to be a challenge to source. Your dry smile said it all as the plastic crunched and the metal creaked. Brave man! Brilliant channel.👍

Having been involved in trying to get a Group A Escort Cosworth rally car onto a trailer after it hit a heavy steel gatepost on a rally stage at Weeton Army barracks, which ripped off the entire left front strut, we put a trolley jack under the chassis leg on the left hand side and managed to drive the car on with only 3 corners. A wheel skate with castors under your left front wheel would have done a similar job. Might even have steered.

We repaired a M2 that had a crash, massive money in parts. All the ducts and trims added up to a fortune. He ended up fitting carbon fibre wings as they were cheaper!

I see no Axle stands Dean 😎

Love this series. Love an M2 competition! Looking forward to the next instalment 👍🏼

Bit of T-cut it’ll be fine!!

Looking forward to this project, but I’m biast! The perfect opportunity for a carbon skinned roof there mate!

Looks to have option packs M2C Sport Comfort Pack (£1,800) -Electric Front Seats with Driver Memory -Heated Front Seats -Reverse Camera -Wireless Charging -Comfort Keyless Access -Exterior Folding Mirrors M2C Plus Pack (£1,485) -BMW ICON adaptive LED Headlights -19" Black Bi-Colour 788M Alloys Wheels -Harmon Kardon -Sun Protection Glass

Reminds me of the film Cristine, when he brings it back to the garage.

Looking forward to this rebuild! You've got balls. Can you find out from an HPI whether it was stolen/recovered?

It's one complete basket-case after another!! I love this channel.

Good luck with this one Pro .Regards from Holland

Personally not a beemer fan, I’ll watch for the rebuild though. For me it doesn’t scream rolled, I’d expect more grass/mud and also not a lot of road rash. Also I didn’t see curtain bags blown. Keep up the good work 👌

I don't think that the badge was scratched😅 You've got your work cut out there. It'll be interesting. Do you think something could have fallen on the roof? If it had rolled wouldn't the damage be more across the roof?

Nice reason to fit a carbon roof. Looks to have m performance coilovers on it which is a nice bonus. I suspect it’s tuned as well

You pick the most amazing project cars...as Phil Collins once sang in the 1980's...your cars are "Against All Odds". Makes for Excellent viewing. Thanks

Great work and patience

Big Kahunas dude! Good luck!

Lovely, gonna watch every video👌

You Need A set Of Skids To Move Damaged Vehicles Around on 👍

Last build I watched was the Porsche. Looking fwd to this one as its totalled🍿🥳

Think its been crashed on a track, looking forward to this build, plenty of content here with this car can't wait nice one Dean.

I'd say a rather big spin of at a few revolutions ! Good luck

Good night everyone liking all your videos keep it going dean

Stick to VAG Dean. Strip and sell it for spares. You will make a mint 👍👍👍🇬🇧👍👍👌🏦🏦🏦

Yessss BMW content! Glad to see it 👌👌

Another channel had one of these that was to badly damaged and apparently parts are hard to get it worth more in parts either way good luck with it love your channel..

Rebuild will be expensive but an awesome car.. looking forward to next vids on it

What a cracking car. Those last few moments before the accident were a bum clencher for sure! Will make great content 👍🏼👍🏼

Looks like an immense challenge and I’m anticipating quite an eventful strip down. I winced as you kicked and pulled the pieces clear of the offside wheel …

Dean got big job on there good luck look forward to seeing the rebuild 👍

Looks like a competition between Matt Armstrong as to who can buy the car with the worst damage. At least it looks like you don’t have to change out the dash. Interesting rebuild and good luck.

Surprised he doesn't have dollys to move newly acquired wrecks around!

Not rolled over. Gone sideways through a verge. And hit some vegetation.

Thought it looked awful at first but you might have got away with it. Doesn’t look as bad Looking forward to this one!!

Fabulous project. Looking forward to the next one.

Great project. Love it.

plus side... Both reverse lights work.. Looking forward to this fix Dean :)

Cheers Dean, could always try and find out where and when the vehicle “crashed” and maybe speak to local fire service as I’m pretty sure we would have turned out to this,cheers Jason🚒👍👍

No roll but slide damage after someone tried drifting but part rolled and hit the roof possibly. Crack on mate, love to do it myself 👍 good buy 👍

More brilliant content Dean!

Roof must be replaced, it can’t be repaired in an acceptable manner. Seems more suitable as a parts car.

All the clutch smoke when trying to move the forward 😆

You are a mad man. Will be interesting to see what you do with it

One good thing, Dean. The reverse & brake lights work. Good luck with it mate!

They're an awesome car, I have owned and driven one for 2 years... Harmon Kardon is an option... that car sounds very tappy... they are known for spinning crank timing pulley's I believe.. check that out if it's not something catching externally

Great video. I'm worried about that roof tho!

How have the air bags not deployed, with that front damage you would of thought it would be an air bag banker!

Someone went full send on that M2.

It's definitely been on its side m8. Partly rolled over / on its side, ditched. Loving the vids great stuff 👍

I wonder if someone was at a trackday and hit tyre barrier maybe 🤔

Just a bit of panel damage 🤣🤣🤣🤣 does nothing ever faze you, surely Dean this is going to cost a small fortune to get it to its former glory, but if anyone can do it you can, it’s going to be a good series this

I have some Autoglym SRP if that helps Dean , only joking looking forward to this

Good luck on this one!! That's looks like a bit of a challenge but I reckon something has fallen on the roof, possibly. Looking forward to see this get underway!

Good news, the reverse lights work

Good work on the wheels Dean, it's got a lot of potential!

New roof needed. Get it on a jig as well

Good luck with the M2 !! you’re going to need it I’m afraid ..engine sounds in need of attention could be real issue.. you’ve mentioned having issues finding used parts another big factor to consider. The roof looks like concern to me ..it’s stacking up could well be money pit

Mmm I think it’s been ditched ultimately coming to rest on its drivers side and folding the roof? Nothing structural then it’s a major strip of all the many many broken bits and a rebuild as and when bits become available? Dare I say it possible not so much of a horror as it seems when taken apart🤞🤞🤞🚗🚗❤️ another cool project👍👍👍

Another great build!!! So much goin on… hard to keep up… lol

Looking forward to seeing the rebuild, good luck parts hunting 🙏👍😃

since the side morriw are fine, it has not rolled over. but hit soft thing at speed. this is a good long term fix I think. but a good one.

Didn't the title to UK's cheapest M2 go to Salvage Rebuilds?

Good luck with this one hopefully you get it up n running…

Hopefully the car can move in a straight line again. Good luck.

Love it dean. You've got your work cut out with this one by the looks of it. But it's gonna be a beauty when it's done 👍😊

Hi Dean. I dont think it rolled over or on it's side, because the wing Mirrors seem ok. Something must have dropped on the roof. Great vídeo!

Great car and hopefully restored to as-new. I don't think it's rolled as the highest point of the roof is untouched, as is the shark-fin aerial. Maybe caught a tree-branch on its way backwards into a ditch. I seem to remember there were not many options (less than a handful) available on these so most of it is standard. M2 aficionados / owners will correct me. Can't wait for more!

Awesome project.

I reckons that a track day fail, and it’s hit a bank or tyre wall, mud up the exhaust is a sign,

Weeeell its clear from the comments below VERY few people on TY have ever done accident recovery... the car has spun at speed, Likely cause of the roof damage is its clouted street furniture which has fallen on it, A roll would have taken out the windscreen. The question has to be asked why was no form of SRS deployed? It is VERY repairable, but needs an alignment check, and some luck finding the MANY parts needed to repair the all round damage....

Hey Dean, this is going to be another awesome series 😎😃

Engine sounds like bottom end clattering, oil cooler missing is bit of a red flag. Need to inspect shells first before you spend time and money on the rest of it

get it back in the auction will cost a fair few grand on the jig trying to straighten that out Or reshell it

To my ear that car is suffering from the exhaust camshaft misalignment issue common on the M2C - you can really hear it on this when the engine started and the tapping sound sped up with the engine…

That static camera from your garage, and than a BMW goes into view all messed up with klonka klonka engine made me LOL. 15:17 You should have started video like that.

This will be an interesting build, considering that the spare parts are scarce. For me it doesn't ring a roll over. Looks like it came from a muddy ditch though 🤔. Can't wait for the build.

Just a thought, it looks very similar damage to the Range Rover that Salvage Rebuilds UK are doing at the moment and that was TPAC’d - front,back and drivers side but the passenger side is OK

Sounds like that engine has a knock 😬

Lovely inside

Mint car Dean can't wait to see you fix it

Been off the road into some trees by the looks of the damage

Interesting video Dean looking forward to seeing the next one 👍

Rear wheel drive, I'd say spun into a ditch. That door glass close might be a worry, if the roofs moved? Lets see what awaits you underneath! Nice buy for the Channel

Looks an expensive project with limited used parts so best of luck with it dean

I reckon because the airbags didn’t deploy, it was another vehicle that hit it and it was sent into a bank or tree etc

Brave buy . But fixable at the end of the day . Love channel this be a interesting one for us 🤛

This will be brilliant series good call on m2

Does it have the optional indicator pack? 😄 Joking aside, looking forward to this one! Good luck mate. 👍

Roof damage may have been from the lamp post the car clipped. Them LED lamps are made out of metal, are heavy and often break off when hit, mud in tail pipes!! car towed backwards out of ditch 🙂

It has the Plus pack and Comfort pack, so quite well spec'd

Shame it's not a vag, but it makes a change, looks a lot of body damage though, looking forward to the rebuild on this, well done.

I am going with track day crash. Spin on wet grass with long slow slide down tyre wall and then possibly had the barrier land on the roof. No air bags must have been a "soft" crash imho. If it had hit anything hard there would be a lot more paint missing. If it had gone in a ditch there would be a lot more grass and mud. Its certainly a weird one.
