hey robert , how could you even think that this build might be a bit boring ?? this is exactly how a car should be build , the attention to the details like colour matching , good bodywork paint prep and a nice paint finish thats gonna make it stand out next to other builds. and then that beautyfull dutch drenth gearbox 😍 married to an s54 that revs 8k - 9k rpm with a front to back supersprint exhaust 😅 i guess you need to go shopping for a set of peltors and an intercom kit . this thing will sound epic 👌🏻 cant wait for the next update video

Spot on man! @Robert Mitchell , everyone here would love to see how this 20 yr old car is built. My guess is that a lot of us are excited also because this M3 was a poster car, as we grew up in late 90’s early 2000’s. I finished high school in 2004 and this car was the one to have

Huge thumbs up, I always said that this ( late 90's, early 2000's ) is the best car era ever, still analog and raw enough, but with technology to be a very good, accessible and reliable car. Also, love seeing George again, he seems like a cool guy, was missed on Misha's main channel.

For me, the biggest appeal of this project is exactly as you said, it's a dream E46 build. It might not be what the algorithm wants or what will get all the views compared to some weird supercar build, however it's significantly more relatable to a lot of people. It's the kind of build i'd like to do/be able to afford on mine. In a sense, it's what an achievable dream car looks like for many, at least a certain generation, hah. Very excited for it. Solid plans for the build and polar opposite to how i build my stuff, lol. Can't wait! Also, sign me up for a ride along if you do one :P

Love the 3 series BMWs, but my favourite is the E82 1M, such a gem of a car with IMO the best looking back of them all, the arches on that little car are just a thing of beauty, and considering its basicly a frankestein car. If someone gave me unlimited resources I'd take that chasis and put in a modern S58, could be a proper smile machine.

Loving the new content, and the E46 is absolute dream project. Wish I had the budget for something like that. I love your passion and the nerding out, and explaining things properly, instead of everything has to be under 10min or even shorter. Also E46 is my favorite "normal" BMW. It's just basically the perfect car. Pretty, practical and emotional, and can be modified to any need. Looking forward to following along this project.
