The Sound and Thrill of Driving: A Personal Experience with My E46

I have to say that I really appreciate my car's sound system because it sounds great when it's not all ready last time I did this, I lost my clutch. Oh my god, I used to do that with slow cars because usually they're fast enough to like you give it a little steer and it'll make the wheels start spinning and it makes the car feel faster. It didn't work though, it just was crippled up. It's scary, I thought you were going to try and drift or something.

Well, that's what I was trying to do, to like make it feel faster and exciting. Break the wheels loose, it didn't work though. Sounds really good, those Nitto Nt05 275/34/35 R18s just really hooked up. That was those Nitto Nt05's, style okay? Didn't work there either, that's what I'm saying to the turning's gotta be better. I love the throttle response, we get a little bit of rubbing but it's not too bad.

We're going to do something for our friend Jimmy, who just had his birthday. We put together a surprise party for him, with friends from Connecticut, and some tacos at that taco truck behind the Brass Bill mall. Some of our homies are meeting up there, so we're gonna roll up and have a big surprise for him. There will be cake and stuff if everything goes according to plan. Hopefully, all goes away.

I was like, "This is too good an opportunity not to do something," and Jimmy didn't want to do anything for his birthday, but I knew he'd appreciate it. He's very selfless, that one. Whatever that word would be, selfless, yeah you're so selfless to me, so that's a secret.

We ended up going to the taco spot, which is good. The last time I was here, I was like, "It's not gonna be better than California," but it's fire. There are arcade tunes all day long, sideshow times here give us something to eat. We won't do it, I'll do it. You won't even get in the car.

I remember growing up in this parking lot, one time one of my mom's friends did donuts with me in the car and she was not stoked, very upset. Mom would imagine there, yo. I stopped by my old house where I grew up, this is crazy it looks abandoned. That makes me so sad.

Oh my god, yo, I wonder if the ramps or Mr. Rotary Boy's car shut off. You said that happened before, teach the last time I was out here, I was in his RX-7 and it shut off as he was driving. This is another R7, it's doing the same thing. Yeah, we've got those RX-7s been a little bit difficult.

You should let everyone know we're in the middle of the woods on a one-way road, hold over on no shoulder this California would just have one way each way road. It's called that, right? Rudnick, right here. You knew I love that.

We got TJ isn't here now all right so what are we doing we chilling in this at home, we're getting pushed off the cliff. All right let's find out, we've got a big day ahead of us tomorrow it's been a blessing to finally enjoy my E46 up here, all the boys had a good time Jimmy's birthday, what a great day.

I know the video is kind of all over the place but if you guys enjoyed it I know, a lot of times you like the CT videos. English Town full disclosure Mike stayed back this weekend so he could work on his own stuff and I probably won't have the best footage from the event. But I'm just gonna try to vlog what I can, have some fun with the boys and put together something for you guys.

But um yeah, I enjoyed it, I hope you guys enjoyed this video, I love seeing this thing on the TVs makes me happy. Hope you guys like it. And I will see you all tomorrow at the Clean Culture English Town event. If you haven't gotten tickets, links are in the description, but as you're watching this, the events already going on so hopefully you're in. See you there

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enall right guys welcome to today's video it's thursday it's around dinner time and i just landed in new york to go pick up a car of mine a friend of mine is coming by the airport something cool and i should be here any minute yo peep the best car ever oh yeah dude i'm hopping i gotta make sure i capture this he's like oh i have no seatbelt i literally was like damn i'll drive this to work today there's also no ac he asked me what car i wanted to be picked up there's options you want to know the craziest thing i don't think i've ever been in an e36 it's not like a a drift car on a track oh really i think my first street experience in e36 this is like a pretty nice car i think it's turbo yeah s52 s32 turbo basic ish kit this guy had this kit for like the previous owner had it's in 2014. damn same kit and he bought from a previous customer of mine and then i got the whole car like three years ago before price got crazy and underneath it's like mint it needs loving but we're here is this technically new york city uh yeah sure you're in new york city you're yeah you're in new york city sure whatever the that means it's five boroughs you're in new york i guess so this dude's crazy i was playing an uber to your shop but he offered to pick me up gave me a choice of all these cars and of course i picked that there i didn't anticipate the traffic i guess because i don't i'm like oh it's 20 30 minutes from my house dude an hour of traffic to get here and no ac i'm hot boy i'm high well i appreciate the service it'll be worth it let's go right red light all right let's see what this baby does over here i said i'm ready but there's a red light i can't it gets down i can't shift crazy fast with this show i'm an anti-short shifter guy on bmw's well these these transmissions are like 5 000 now oh sorry but yeah so we'll wait till we have more room but it's like this short shifter and the clutch disengages really low on the floor so the combination makes it really hard to like shift properly see like if i money shift it now or a box no it does not do that yeah you see i told you bro it's not good it gets down this has got to make 500. it should make 500 hair wrench we're going to do this again on this like the this is the better one there's really street racing stuff this is all like some old-ass flip tires i can feel it it moves bro it's like dumb rich all right so i gotta kind of tell you the story now that's my radio i won't show me your radio code yo cops i'm not worried so if you remember my last trip up to connecticut i was so excited to drive my e46 and then the clutch failed like within an hour of driving at first so i lost motivation but i knew that jordan was near yes i i had a feeling so you mentioned oh the car breaks i'll just send to jordan and it was like oh my car is broken yeah i was like that's fine whatever and then we did a lot more if jordan's shop wasn't up here i probably would have sadly sent the car back to florida never got to enjoy it up in connecticut so jordan was willing to take challenge i knew i'd be back here for the clean culture event and he basically rebuilt the entire car but he'll uh he'll tell you everything yeah i've always did we'll go over it all in a second i think this car you were showing me was getting basically the same stuff that my car was getting no there's a blue one there's a blue one inside oh i thought there was a green one inside i have so many there's a green one there's a blue one there's a red one inside i saw this car in the photo this is ridiculous i love this car dude the combo is that paint or is it wrapped it's paint he actually wasn't happy because it wasn't like perfect and then had a different shop redo the whole car i mean it's like jams and everything dude the color and the wheels too like i love it and i am not i am like i know i'm not a e forces guy at all the hood too damn i'll trade this guy straight up you think he wants my car probably not why not he built this for he wanted is it like turbo or superstars or anything so it's supercharged it came it's supercharged like stopped running the fuel pump wires like went to i guess sort of so we fixed that and then while it's here he did no maintenance ever so we're gonna do rod bearings just a rod bearing end and then later point me we'll do the band mouse you know how i like like surprise my mom as far as my dad would like random car in my videos sometimes i had a dream that you surprised me with a supercharger i'm like whoa what the my we were talking about your hair i didn't see the hat right now it's summer whatever all right all right you think i was gonna surprise you i surprised you my god he's like he's like it made him whopping 300 horsepower flat i play a super jar i like you just not that much the new shop new spot so the car really just needed the trans taken apart just to inspect what's going on with the clutch i'm going to put a photo on the screen right here of what you found you have it i think you sent it to me yeah the clutch just fell apart yeah pretty much does that happen no yeah i told you you drove the car like is this bad either clutch slip whatever i'm like yeah it's gonna break like they break and then then it happened but yeah we did uh the car came for a clutch we ended up doing everything from rod bearings the vanos fix subframe reinforcement on the chassis new subframe bushings we were going to be trying our bushings but you had them and then we did like a lot of maintenance i put a new weibo in your car i don't know if you're doing it before yeah we didn't we didn't and i had i had rod bearings done at one point too okay so i want to i want to put that out there you were told it was down to 90 000 miles and i pulled a record from bmw it's not forty thousand miles it's so cool that it was done i had them somewhere they weren't gonna fail right away but they looked a little bit beat up like it happened so you never know even if it was another dealer so yes they were done before um the vanos wasn't broken or damaged this guy's car was fifty thousand miles on his bounce is way worse than yours yeah before you beat up and breaking mm-hmm so but yours is fine change that out i think that's it i mean it says i say that's it three hours worth of work yeah 80 i think like 70 hours worth of work i'm committed to enjoying this car now i would prefer that you did well actually the pain on this thing is not immaculate it looks great so fun fact fun fact if you notice my front bumper looks a little bit different now it's got some fresh paint do you want to do you want to let them know what happened to us um my one of my guys is going to tow the car and then rut nick was like i'll handle it i guess he was playing doing some barter for the car yeah he wanted drift hq parts which i'm happy to provide him with anyway but he was like i'll help you i'll do this and then this they were through the paint on the bumper so i had to get repainted and every body shop was like we need the whole car we want to repaint the whole clip and i was like i'm giving you a bumper and it's i mean as close as it's gonna be yeah it looks pretty good you can't really tell that much in videos anyway right we had to throw him under the bus but he was like dude i feel so bad i'm gonna make good for it i'll repaint it whatever it costs if i gotta buy you a new car i should take him up on that he fell he called me this car for steam hey do you have any black kidney girls because i can't find them anywhere i don't really know i know what you do have here though like five e46s crackle and popcorn dude put verb on this one here oh he's gonna say dude if you put burpee on my car i will kill you yeah no oh nice wheel that seems so cool i actually purchased that from elsie mfg no you didn't i did watch you why i don't know i got a deal i will literally give you guys costs i'm gonna refund you this thing's so cool is this it does actually have purple soon i don't know i did it the other day because i was bored and i regret it closed yeah yeah this doesn't catch on fire so that was a horrible idea that did like nothing got it but it has like that's it if i throw my hat will it go up i don't know there's a plastic bag in there right now yeah that's cool i gotta give a massive thank you to jordan aka rk tunes i was about ready to abandon this car i was so demotivated with it i was kind of played at selling it and he took care of me got it back in running shape if you are anywhere in the new york area and you need your bmw work done you want someone you can trust jordan's the guy also for your tuning needs he does remote tuning and he makes ourselves a bunch of cool parts for like all different types of bmws rktunes.com check it out he's the best now i basically got a two-hour journey i'm driving through new york up to connecticut i'm gonna be staying at grants and then tomorrow we're gonna have kind of a chill day we would do some pit biking i gotta go buy tommy shop and buy more junk i want to get breakfast with my dad and just kind of have a solid reset day before the crazy clean culture event on saturday bright and early up for a stroll uh my dad's actually out of town this weekend so i'm meeting up with him for breakfast enjoying some beautiful roads with a little bit of traffic got this new little diner look dad took the skyline out he called me up the other day and he goes hey i think this is the fastest car i've ever owned i think it might be as fast as a porsche i just started dying the only person i know that carries golden dollars in their pocket why do you do that trademark of me yeah yeah this is how he leaves tips at the restaurant goes oh she's going to be so sad brand new ones too yeah how's the car been treating you good stalls a little bit but i feel like i'm the fastest guy
