Thanks for checking out my video. My name is Alec and welcome to Day Off DIY! Ive been working for months on this big reveal, and I can't wait to share it with ya.
What do we get into? You'll have to watch and see. During the video I will tell you exactly how you can win this beautiful BMW that I fixed up because...
In this video I buy a beat up BMW and restore it on a budget, just to give it to a viewer for free!
Yes, actually free, 0 dollars, zero purchase required, unlike other giveaways now a days.
I take a neglected and beat up 2006 BMW 325i with 126k miles, and fully restore it.
We restore the headlights, gut and detail the interior, extract the carpet and scrub all the plastics and leathers, we fix every oil leak including the oil filter housing, the oil pan gasket, we replace the engine mounts, control arms, the belt, tensioner, and idler pulley. We repaint the hood and polish all of the paint, with clay bar and wax. I flush every single fluid, we do a transmission service, a power steering flush with new reservoir, a brake fluid flush, an oil service with an engine flush, a drain and fill on the cooling system, and a drain and fill on the rear differential! I fixed everything I could find on this N52, and she is running amazing. I can't wait to drive her cross country and give her to the lucky winner. I hope you enjoy this build! :)

    • The engine itself is quite well developed and trouble free. However you will more than likely be fixing the following, electric water pump and thermo at 60K, starter failure common around 80k, belt tensioner sometimes, Oil filter housing gasket (shown leaking in this vid) around 80k, oil pan gasket (not easy), and the valve cover gasket with eccentric shaft sensor seal around 80k ish but can be done in your garage if you are ok and have the patience.

  • Awesome vid! I really appreciate you posting this video and buying this exact car. I also have a 2006 325i which I daily. A lot has crapped on me in the last year and it’s hard to afford to fix most of it as I’m 19 and in full time college. About to hit 200k miles and so far it’s been such a great car but reliability is getting iffy now haha. Valve cover gasket has crapped on me so I’ve been topping it off from time to time now. Saving up to fix it when I can afford it. I recently fixed my dead alternator, changed all my bad coolant hoses and reservoir as it had a bad leak. Next on the list is my leaking power steering reservoir, bushings, all brakes and rotors, seat mat to remove airbag light, and fix my ac and heat as both randomly stopped working a year ago now. This video was honestly what I needed to give me hope that I can get my car running like it’s supposed to one day! Mechanically she’s not the best right now but I do detail her the best I can to make her feel nice cosmetically! Happy to have found your channel, I hope this video will help you gain more subscribers and turns out to be profitable in the long run. Thanks again!

  • Okay, sorry to leave so many comments but I'm sure it helps with the algorithm. I noticed on your driving footage not too far along in the video. They're is a pull out somewhere along in the area that you're in. It's my favorite spot in California that I've ever been to just unbelievably gorgeous. It's after Mill Creek campground and after you go down that hill but before you get to the redwood prairie Creek area
