In this video i restore my E46 330ci Subframe and paint it using Brunox and Hammerite before installing it again. I also clean and install the fuel tank and a heat shield
A trick I saw someone on a forum use to press bushing or bearings into tight fittings is to put the parts in the freezer a while before installing, and warming up the area that they will be going into.
You are doing this channel for fun, and I am really enjoying it and benefiting a lot from it, I currently have an e46 touring, thanks for sharing
I appreciate the support:) Maybe add me on instagram. If you need anything like torque specs or how to’s i have access to them
Great content! Love watching your videos
Thank you. That means alot to me to be honest.
Thanks for taking the time to document your work process Tim. I look forward to your next video
Thank you JP. Comments like this is a big part of why im doing it.
Liking the channel a lot Tim. I wish I had the facilities to do my E46 underneath. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers from England.
Thank you for the kind words. Much appreciated. I bought this house only because of the garage😂 i need a place to relax
Thx !
No problem. I still needed to use a generic bushing tool and various size sockets as well. But this tool was the only specialised one. Its gone up in price quite alot since i bought it 3 tears ago but so far i have used in on an e39, e36 and now e46
I just realised i sent this reply to the wrong person! It would have made alot more sense had i posted it the right place!
looks good Tim hope your finger is ok ;-)
Thank you Morten:)
Another good video! did you use the same paint from the subframe for the diff? (I don't know what temperature are reaching these diffs) from where did you get the repair manual (with pictures of how all the bushings should be oriented before installation) thanks :)
Thank you. The diff was painted in hammerite smooth black spray paint as it was in decent shape already. If the surface is rusted i use a brush instead. Have never had any issues with paint om these diffs afterwards but there are probably better options out there. This is just cheap and easy, and looks good
Subframe was with a brush
I've an e46 touring needs that done if you want to do it for fun lol, greetings from N.ireland
Too far away😅 greetings from Denmark
@@OEMplusRESTO I could get it to you and get a holiday in Denmark at the same time lol
@@markburnett7461 first let me fill it up with cheap bmw wheels i always find for sale in england somehow.
@@OEMplusRESTO I would love for you to do it but I'd have to get passports for me the missus and my daughter and then gather some new parts ,like bushes ,bolts and any other hardware needed,you did a great job on your 330ci ,I'll just have to try getting it sorted here,I dont have garage so I work out back of house, half on road half on footpath, a bit sketchy but it works but only when weather is good so thanks anyway,if I ever do get chance to visit I'll let you know maybe get a set of wheels or 2 picked up for you
Thats impressive. I wouldnt get anything done if i didnt have the luxury of my garage
Godt arbejde min ven 😎
❤
Nice video. Links to bush tools you've used would be nice.
Thank you. I will update the description with the tool part numbers later today:)
Bushing tool used www.schmiedmann.dk/da/bmw-E39/1941039-ny?produkt=B-A1211
I didnt update the description as im a bit in doubt if it will seem like a promotion of a product. I have no sponsorships or anything
@@OEMplusRESTO Thanks !
Any time. I did use a more generic bushing tool as well and a regular socket or two. But this tool have worked for most stuff so far, including e39 and e36
Hi there what colour or paint code you use for the underbody paint
Hi. I honestly dont know the paint code as i had to mix some black into it to get ir darker:(
Do you have a link for the oversize nuts for the heat shield?
I dont think so. Not right now. But you can find them on realoem
