The wind noise around the garage building would drive me nuts. Great video though, thank you Phil!

Best thing you could have done. That blue car is mint. Crazy destruction of that engine! It looks like it's detonated 😂

It must have broken the Blue car’s owners heart when water wrecked engine ☹️, such beautiful condition inside and out , sad really but new engine means it will live again as long as all works out ok 👌🏻 and Phil is up for the challenge 😉.

Bet that white one is a Bradford/brum specialist repair with resistors instead of seat air bags

The blue one looks a much nicer example. I totally agree with your decision Phil, the white one is a totally unknown quantity, only the people who carried out the ‘repairs’, actually know the true condition of this car. It could potentially be very dangerous, so it’s best to keep it off the road❤.

Brilliant video, fingers 🤞 you get this engine swapped with no more issues

Great video. Really enjoyed it and see the logic.

really great content ,I love and respect your honesty.Profit is a factor obviously but your ethics are the best good luck with both cars mate

Great watch, working detail, easy honest listening, looking forward to next faze. Re working damage; you might want to consider wing / slam panel/bumper protective covers.

Coming along nicely Phil well done

Great video Phil. Totaly the right thing to do, the Estoril blue car looks a nice car and I am sure very saleable once you get it sorted.

These engines aren’t known for their reliability, and they clatter like a diesel , I had a 2012 328i , it was a stunning high spec car that I didn’t have for very long and wasn’t very old or have many miles I think 3yrs old and 30k , it started to smoke and chain clatter , I took it back to bmw , and eventually they decided to buy it back , they told me the engine was knackered combination of the timing chain and oil pump chain tensioner failure and subsequent turbo failure , when the engine was running right it was powerful and that zf 8 speed was brilliant

Great vid phil ,hope everthing works out ok with the swap then make loads oh money selling all the parts!😅

Cheers mate great video

Future video series rebuilding the N20 out of the flood car? Would take a brave man to take on that challenge!!

It's always nice to see something different 👍👍👍

I bet you're smarting over that white one , but as it says we are never too old to learn . But you are so possessive .... well done

That blue 220 is so clean!!

Great job Phil looking forward to seeing this one 👍

That blue BMW 220i was supplied and registered in Edinburgh. Shame that the engine is toast. The white one comes from London. Good idea to salvage the engine and swap them out.

It makes sense you doing what your doing, and you get money back on the white one

Like the block of wood holding the bonnet

wow, that blue car is super clean underneath amazing for an 8 year old car - guess it must have been garaged its whole life

Don't you love it when a plan comes togethert!!

Great video 👍

Great idea buying another one 😆

The blue BMW belonged to my mum! She bought it back in 2016 and kept it until 2019 then she bought an M2

i only like bmw 420 cupe nice cars,but i have E38 728I my baby .

I think you have made the best of the situation and when you are not happy putting your name to something then trust your gut instinct!! The parts that are left in the car should cover and hopefully make a profit to get out of the situation which is always a learning experience every car you do!! Stay safe and see you on the next one soon

Makes sense

Let’s hope the mileage hasn’t been doctored on the white one especially with the condition you got it. !!?!!!!

yeah great idea and great video cannot wait to see how it turnes out brilliant

Bloody Great

Phill strip the white one out totally and sell as a whole rolling shell to someone who wants to re shell there’s I e someone that’s been rear ended

Not many people are that honest 😊

great vidio enjoy watching you working great content.

Take the bumper off Phil, there aren't to many fixings on it, if I take isn't in the way you can't damage it.

Safe good lad

my mate has a garage and services a 420d m but it doesnt have the said m brakes or caliper and its going through discs ans pads like nobodys business. when he first ordered pads and discs by reg number they sent him m sport ones which were wrong

You’ll need the engine cu exchanged

Evening mate

I'm back lol at 19:40 continue 😀

Do a car vertical on it

You could of done the job properly & took the front bumper cover off, & rad pack. Then you could of pulled it straight forward with no extra damage. Very few people in this game do the job right!

Is it an easy swop from manual to auto

Where will you be selling bits from white car? Need a couple of bits

Hi, Can you invest in some proper lighting. So simple and will make your life easy and enhance it for the viewers as well

It might just be me, but I thought on beamers you took the engine out with the subframe, dropping it out of the bottom?

Have you run car vertical on the white one?

Hi Phil get your money bk in parts

I’ve just rebuilt one of these engines a mine had dropped a piston. Will you be selling the bottom crank pulley from the old engine at all please? I seem to have mislaid mine during the strip/rebuild process.

If engine was flooded did you also change the transmission fluid as it may be contaminated with water too?

The blue one will sell super easy and you will have a good bit of cash in parts to sell. Bye bye nightmare white bimmer 👍🏻

What sort of money would you want for the blue one repaired?

are you in bury ,

Sounds like its p!ssing it down outside and combustion engines are dead

That lip spoiler is sold by “Only Chavs” in Brummie😂

Sent you a txt last week about Ecosport...
