Part 1: How much BMW E46 can you get for 1.100€?

Introduction of my new 2001 BMW E46 325i Touring that I bought unseen for just 1.100€ ($1.206 / £977). In this video I talk way too much, fully inspect this 3 series and go over the plans for it. Towards the end of the video, I give a little teaser of the upcoming E60 M5 project. Also, bonus bloopers at the end.

Part 2: Fixing up a Straight Six

Get ready for another fast-paced action-packed video. It's all about mechanics and wrenching in this one. I set about sprucing up my cheap E46 325i Touring that at first glance didn't look too bad but turned out to be heavily mistreated by its previous owners. Lots of satisfying torque wrench clicks, ratchets, tool droppings... while I grump and sweat my way through this BMW. Price breakdown towards the end of the video.
