this challenge is about to be mega 👀 😮
No way it’s KZhead
Well played hope your paying Matt big bucks for all his hard work keeping us fans entertained on here 😬👌🏴
Bruh
@@puch2728 bruh
Don't say MEGA that's so cringe ❤
This is the only rebuilding channel I dont get bored of😂😂😂
Same😭and I wish he could post like 3 videos per week
Same 😂😂😂
True 😂
same!
Me too
I struggle alot with my mental health , but I so look forward to your videos Mat they bring a bit of sunshine to a dark day, well done again your smashing it as usual mate .
Thanks so much mate! Hope you’re good!
@@MatArmstrongbmxyes, cheers mate means alot.
Get yourself something to fix up? Even an old bicycle or something - you would make yourself proud.
Keep strong my friend. I'm in the same situation but slowly and surely starting to see the positives in my life.
It’s hard when it’s starts feel like your surviving day to day. You got this mate 🥊
WARNING: NEVER EVER go under a car even for a quick look if you're just using a trolley jack. Matt had an axle stand but it was in the middle of the car. I've seen a professional garage jack just give way without warning. As extra safety place blocks of wood under the tyres (or shove a wheel underneath. You can also use the car side jack as well. Stay safe!
Ha yeah. I’m not mechanical at all but that seemed nuts that he didn’t have any safety blocks.
Indeed. It's no surprise though. The whole ethos of what this guy is doing is on the fringes of what is ethical and can only contribute towards other people taking great risks by encouraging them to put vehicles back on the road that should be scrapped and taken out of the loop completely.
Oh my days, I couldn't believe he did that 😅😅
At 6:11 I see a red mechanical car stand, so I don't think he is that stupid.
@@mariemccann5895 go away troll. Matt is very careful to do repairs properly. Many times he's stated he could bodge, save money etc but that's not the way to do things, especially on high end stuff. That to me is a big part of the appeal of him and his channel - the jobs are done properly so the car will run and drive safely
"It's had a front-end knock"... understatement of the year 🙂🙂🙂 The display with "bonnet open" had me in stitches!!! 🤣🤣🤣
You had the right idea bridging fuse, but it needed to be a better connection, like a bolted earth strap or something. The cranking current will be causing a big voltage drop across your jump lead.
Exactly!
This!
100% correct
Mate, you have come soooooo far. As an ex electronic engineer I love you faiult finding temchnique. Split have and work backwards. You’ve nailed it! Process gets you there. No one out there doing what you do. I get up every day hoping there’s a Mat Armstrong video to watch. Keep up the amazing posts mate 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥃
Thanks mate!
@@MatArmstrongbmx where's the gt86 and e24? Not seen them in months!
@@Jsnwrd gt86 is outside my unit. I use it as my drift car but had no reason to film on it atm. The e24 build will carry on once the Murcie has an engine in. There’s no rush on that build as it has to be in the ramp a long time to do the rust
Yay! The good old half split technique! Another old git here who learnt that as an M&E apprentice back in 1990. This channel is awesome for any of us practical have a go heroes, I’m desperate to get my hands on a wrecked car but I’m lacking a garage 😢 Recently did a ton of repairs on my sons first car learning from KZhead (same way I learnt to plaster when I did up our house) That’s how I stumbled across this channel, it’s amazing. I love the way Mat doesn’t hide his mistakes, we all cock things up from time to time but that’s how you learn!
You know what Matt? It's not just the content you have, but it's your character that people like. Keep up the go0d work ~
Every family has that one person who will break the family's financial struggle, I hope you become the one 😊
Assets that can make you rich Bitcoin Stocks Real estate
@@markdamascus7878 You're right, it's obvious a lot of people remain poor due to ignorance
Starting early is the best way to getting ahead of build wealth, investing remains the priority
Obviously trading in bitcoin is very volatile and risky to trade that's the reason most traders trade with a company
Now is the best time to purchase and invest in Bitcoin stop procrastinating
I think it's the way you produce these videos and your constant excitement about the cars makes your channel fantastic. It's amazing how I'm on the edge of my seat while you explain what's going on with the car. 90 percent of the other car channels are so boring after 5 minutes but I can't get enough of your videos. Keep smashing it! (or should I say, other people keep smashing it, so Mat has something to fix)
Haha thanks so much 😅 I guess I just love what I do 🤷♀️
Matt literally reminds me of my dad when he finds yellow stickered reduced item’s when out shopping! 😂😂😂 .. All jokes aside, it’s a combo of the content itself, Matts Hype & The cars he decides too rebuild! …All I’m saying is… NOT BAD FOR A LAD THAT STARTED OFF RIDING BMX! ✌️🫶
Agree... very interesting to watch and you don't claim to know it all even tho you know alot 😉
@@kylemcw8301 I'd say it's because of his BMX roots 😉
I am amazed how you look at an car and somehow it doesn't scare you knowing how much damage a car has, you just jump in and work. More power to you.
And how he puts loads of content in one video instead of chopping into tiny more videos or dragging things for views. He's the best.
Riveting! Happened upon your M5 rebuild video while scanning for something interesting to watch. I've never, not ever, been interested in car repair but I couldn't stop watching. Your enthusiasm and personality is a great part of the attraction. Thank You for the show! Now I'm watching your first visit to America and the purple Porsche. 💜
Never seen anyone so determined and so undeterred by the seemingly impossible. This was something addictively impressive. You have a rare, self-taught talent. Best of luck with this project!
No one can be self taught in car restoration. Guarantee he's not qualified to do these sorts of repairs.
Matt you don’t get enough credit for how crazy hard you work this is insane. The fact you have multiple huge projects on at the same time you still take on more and manage to upload long in-depth videos with updates on each car every couple days is literally insane! Even the amount of work and detail you put into the cars is insane. Keep it up man
I like ur profile name
@@rdebaron appreciate you big dawg
Just when you think this guy can’t take on any more projects he comes through with more goods 💪🏼💪🏼 incredible
He could get the car inside the shop super easy on 4 dollie-jacks all by himself no need for electric power.. But it seems like overly complications are longer and the struggle apparently is more fun to watch..
And even harder
@@poplaurentiu4148 if you check where my unit door is theres like a mini kerb and my dollies wont ride up them
thanks bro!
@@MatArmstrongbmx Looking at rebuilding cars for myself any thought why some cars sit at auction with tiny bits of bumper damage and have been written off?
You are amazing mate. Keep up the good work. Love watching you at work. You are an inspiration. 🎉❤
3.4 million views in 3 weeks, that's amazing! So good to see. It's weird, I get excited thinking about the finished cars, and they're not even mine. Love the channel, it's just so good. Absolutely smashing it! Even my 6 week old baby was interested in watching one of the Murcielago videos I had on this morning 😅
You're a brave man Matt. Tackling a modern BMW M5 with that amount of front end damage is never gonna be straightforward.
I can't imagine fixing even one dent.
well, at least he gets his money back with this video.
Not to mention crawling under it held up by only a floor jack.
I always use axle stands when jacking up any car - safety first.
This will be the first BWM quicker when cornering than in straight line!
Bro was up just bumped into this video and i got to stay i felt how you started up and grow you motivated me because me has just turning 20 a month now and not working love this video had to subscribe ❤
You have a likeable personality with a brilliant sincere smile and your Mrs' gentle persona is ever so complimenting. Don't lose that!
Matt Armstrong has nailed this KZhead. Been following for a long time now and the content is one that you don't want to forward or skip at any time. It's is so engaging it's unreal!! Keep it up and keep the re-builds going Matt!
Same lol don’t even skip his adverts 😅
Me as a BMW head for over 15jears, it makes me really happy to see you struggling with the handbrake so much. I thought I was insane when working on anything with mine 😅
Imagine making a car and not having manual override in cabin to put the car in neutral. Insane
I have watched most of your posts but this one was on another level. I have come back to re-watch. Big up from Kenya
another AMAZING video Mat - can't wait to see this unfold. In terms of moving the car around if the gearbox is locked - get a set of wheel dollies - they make this a breeze! Also - please use axle stands as well as a jack! Don't want any accidents!!
Well done Mat, you have one of the actual most quality channels with these rebuilds. So many channels have misinformation and don't take due care with their repairs. Keep em coming man!
i love how much of a compulsive buyer you are 😂 nothing stops mat haha i’m sure it will look beast by the end!
Ohh bro you dont know how much i was disapointed when some ideas dont work and car cant start but for that at the end i was 10x more happier when it start. I wish you luck with car and i waiting for moree videos 💪💪😁
I've just watched the vids about the M5 rebuild and wanted to say how enjoyable they were, really entertaining and enjoyable. Thanks for posting.
This is spot on! The way the lad sorts through all the diagnosis and pins the problem down. Hope you making good bread as this is deserving. 🙏🏼❤️
This never stops lmaooo 😂😂😂 You’re so great Mat, look how far you’ve come from ! You have now 2 units, multiple dream cars to fix, tons of self-acquired knowledge, and a community that is growing faster than ever ! Keep going, you are doing incredible videos 😍😍 Cheers from south of france ❤
My dream car. Love this colour & the San Marino Blue. Love watching the videos taking us through each step & explaining it all. 2 weeks late to the video but in my old bmw there used to be a latch under the cup holder with a T shaped plastic tool you stuck into it & turned to get the Gearbox/Parking break to release not sure if this will be any use to you now Mat
man!! i don'nt know nothing about how to fix car but when I saw you are rebuilding a damaged M5comp I could'nt resist myself to watch it , super stokted for the next vid , I know you can fix this car too , your are invincible , good luck buddy
Brilliant jobs with your videos, Mat, you're one of the very few channels I get notifications from. Always super entertaining and good to watch someone so positive do what they love! Cheers from Brazil!
Passion for what you desire...priceless. Can't wait to see how this project works out. Well done!
As an F90 M5 owner I'm looking forward to seeing this rebuild and what you think of it when its finished. Also fun show last night.
You’re going to be the BMW parts counter customer of the year! I love your fearless attitude!
I can't believe how patient Mat is- he's wonderfully positive in the face of automotive adversity
His face is the face of someone who absolutely LOVES his job!
Thank you for making amazing vids mat. You always make the day more interesting and I learn a lot.
Loving this channel, thanks for sharing... please show us your development and finished M5...
Wow that first ignition really so satisfying sound to hear as if dead brought back to life
Amazing channel Matt. Some of these rebuilds I feel like driving up to help you out. Admire your skills and knowledge. Keep going.
You and Hannah really make the best videos Mat. You seem like such a nice and cheerful guy, and you and Hannah are so good together. Keep up the good/hardwork 👍😀
Just wanna say ‘f**king love your channel man’! Respect for the honesty on jobs, and your ‘give it a go’ attitude 🐐
great challenging project. We had a fearless guy in the german community who changed to another Audi RS7 engine what had an overheated zylinder, What a messy work but xxxxxx clicks and all petrolheads wanted to see if he can make it. keep my fingers crossed for your project and think about to use another spare doner chassis instead of the repair. cheers from Germany - rock on, Matt
I love your enthusiasm, Mat, you really make the channel fun to watch. Cheers from the States, keep up the good work!
The fact that i got so excited hearing the engine finally running is a testament to how good your videos are. Always love an M5, can't wait for more!
Aside from loving your videos I just came here to tell you how to get any car in the garage without putting it in neutral. They sell individual wheel dollies. There’s pretty many different types some don’t even require being jacked up if you do a search but the basic idea is 4 little castor wheels under each tire and pull/push the car inside the heater garage. Happy building brother!
Unbelievably valuable lessons to be learned from your mindset here, not even kidding! -I looked at that car thinking "yeah that's totaled, no chance in hell this is going fixed, professionals in a shop would just laugh at anyone bringing that in and fixing it would exceed the cost of a new one, so sad, was a beautiful car" -Meanwhile this guy: "Ye I can fix her in my garage with about 10k lol" With a mindset like that you are destined to achieve incredible things. You're doing the impossible while others just doubt. Take notes, everyone!
I love how you play the damage down Matt. 'its had a front end knock'😂
Awesome car, can’t wait to see the build on this one, the engine on that comes out complete with the transmission, subframe, struts etc on a huge platform, looking forward to seeing the progress on it.
Awesome video love the BMW M5 competition.cant wait to see it fully repaired n back on the road🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.
I’ve seriously been binge watching your channel for 2 days now and I’m obsessed and not ashamed to admit that
Mat, loving your work. You put my small-scale car projects into perspective and give me the confidence to smash through unexpected problems. This video made me laugh out loud so many times.
Love the channel Mat.Glued to the Murcielago rebuild Cant wait to see that one finished. If you need any parts and I'm sure you will for the M5 I can get you the absolutely best prices for you. I'm the parts manager at Sytner BMW Maidenhead and I'm always willing to do a deal. Just let me know.👍👍
Im so happy i havent watched youre videos for couples months now i get to watch one after another kinda like series 😂😂😂 love it!!!!
Hi Matt, love the video and always look forward to the next video coming out. Genuine question about yfood and my scenario. I've been really ill at the minute to the point I've had to give up work, I've lost nearly 3 stone this month. I can't stomach any food at the minute and anything I force myself to eat gives me insane stomach cramps, I having loads of test done etc but obviously due to not eating or anything I'm getting no goodness into me. I'm really funny with textures especially at the minute and I've tried a couple of meal replacement drinks before but the powder mixed ones and I just find even after mixing in several different ways it's bitty. Are these powdery? Do they actually give you a full sensation? And what flavour would you recommend the most? Many thanks
Matt, Your videos are super, one of the best if not the best. Think long term, don’t over work, your output is so high but make sure you are not hammering yourself. Also, your road trips are also class and allow you to get a bit of a break.
Never done anything this big, but there is a great deal of satisfaction when you have to work out a car "problem" bit by bit, and use some of that science you thought you would never need. I'm hooked.
Yea but when your trying to make a living. These suck Lots of time and getting correct parts
I recently bought this exact same car but not crashed. Love it, super fun and very comfortable.
I love how you describe what I would consider a nasty front end smash, it as having a front end knock, lol. You're definitely a braver man than I. 😁
Even when things aren't going well Mat, you're still smiling and happy, such a positive attitude, brilliant 👏👏🤸♂️👍
Just looking at the suspension turret...most people would run away...fast!
Haha, being a bmw owner I found myself screaming at my screen for you to press the brake pedal while releasing the hand break... Great channel, very entertaining.
This guy doesn't seem to know much (if anything) at all about BMW's...good luck man. Holy Christ you'll need it!
Same!
@@evanstewartryker3505 When you crash a BMW, there is a fuse that blows at the battery.. You need to change or bypass it to start the engine again...I was screaming in the beginning when he wanted to start it to CHECK THE FUSE :))))
@@AMdrew exactly, my friend....and many, many things to learn along the way..sometimes the hard way...
@@AMdrew also I'm not sure about newer models like this, but where the external trunk latch is there is usually a keyhole beside the license plate light to unlock the trunk with no power.
I’m a huge fan ,watched all your videos and I’m proud you bought your dream house❤🎉🎉🎉.😊 Showing you Love❤ all the way from Namibia 🇳🇦
Mate, I had the same issue when we bought a m5, the best way to start it to have the battery charged up or one jump starter at the battery and one jump starter at the front and that will give enough power to start the engine every time, this basically means your airbag fuse has gone off near the battery
Mat your videos are so addictive, makes me want to do repairs, I work on my x5 as much I can, m5 comp what a car indeed mat, can't wait for the next part on this beast of a car, Merry Christmas to you both
Been watching since the TT days. No matter what hurdle you hit, Nothing seems to faze you. Inspirational. Keep up the good work...
I have a BMW M6 competition and you found a beautiful BMW M5 Mat, congratulations! You can restore it. I restored a 2002 Jaguar XJR and gave her a 2nd life by replacing a lot of parts :)
Hi Matt, there is usually a manual pull cord fitted under the rear bench cushion to release the boot. On other M5 models, I’d imagine the F90 is the same
Thats only in the US-Models, because its law there to that in every Car. The EU-Models dont have them.
Yo dude. I felt the heart in the mouth moment with when that engine did not crank. Amazing content dude. And its really so good to see you take the plunge yet again on a destroyed car. Totally believe you get this one back on the road ❤
I'm hooked on these videos man I can't believe you have the patience to actually fix these cars I'd go postal and set it on fire within the first 2 hrs
Great content. Thank you. Please have someone shooting from outside/different angle.
Mat i`m half way through this one and each time you get a new project I cant believe how you find cars worse than the previous damaged car, but you do. You really are incredible mate, after watching the lamborghini murcielago project , im stunned by what they charge for what looks like a poor kit car under the shell. well done mat keep it up. where`s geeky mat not seen him for a while is he on holiday?
Can't wait to see what you do with this M5 as the possibilities are endless providing that engine holds out. Keep smashing it Mat 🤟
Awesome vid, also used your link for a potential Civic Type R i'm purchasing next week. Car was all good but it was reassuring to know.
I rewatched this again and I think it’s got to be one of my favourite saves of matts, love how he has built himself up too, keep them coming Matt but I’m still waiting for the Ferrari rebuild finisher video! Also waiting for a car I like to hit your competition page as I’m getting bored of my wrx lol plus the wrx is starting to rust in places and it makes me cry lol😢 oh and it’s only 240 bhp and it’s got boring lol😅 Put your Ferrari on the comp page yeah 😅 my wrx may be an 01 bug eye but she at the age they start to rust from the inside of the rear wing (suspension tubs) out
Hey Mat, i discovered your channel about 1 month ago.. Well your videos are addicting to say the least, keep up the good work!
ill be honest, im keen to see this one go through, get fixed and hopefully end up being raffled off. Of the cars Mat has done and worked on, this is one id def be interested in trying to win and own! (with the exception of the Vantage that is) shall be watching this one closely!!
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ No
I came to this video series after seeing the car completed on the 2nd channel. I cant believe the transformation. Cant wait to see the rest of this series.
This caught my eye due to the recommendations but bruv you are insane man. Very brave!
This video is a great example of how you can take a risk and turn it into something beautiful. Plus with the 10% off at Car Vertical, it's worth checking out to make sure you don't have any hidden problems with your car that you didn't know about!
I can just imagine the amount of passion you have for these cars, to be able to take on as many projects as you do.
Body shop managers in the comments 🤣😂
to get positive cable working in boot you need to remove cable with fuse and smack with hammer on that fuse to get good connection ,until it gets changed in future or connect in front with booster to start, because in front power get directly for engine to start and jumper cables should be thicker because not enough power gets thru small cables and you cant start car
I love this channel❤, I'm going to watch this rebuild till the end of its.
Hey mat love your vids, this build is going to be so good, good luck!
Haha loving Hannah’s honesty, I’m with her I’m not a BMW fan either but still looking forward to the repair videos 😂
There should manual leaver for neutral switch. I have jaguar xf and there is linkage in central console under trim
I was sweating 😓 and worrying like it was me going through this,great video.👍🏽
This is gonna be a epic video and this is something Mat always does and its amazing 🔥🔥🐐🐐🐐
Even without the probability of an engine rebuild the parts bill will be enormous 🙈. Best of luck mate, best of luck! 💪
I FOLLOW ALL UR PROGRESS FROM BUILD 1 TO THE CURRENT AND FROM THIS ONE I NOTICE ITS ALL COMING NATURAL NOW TO YA THIS MECHANICAL STUFF SO LIKE U SAY HARD WORK REALLY DOES BEAT TALENT,WELL DONE MATE,REALLY INSPIRING,,WHY DONT YOU ANNOUNCE EARLY ON A BUILD THAT ONE LUCKY SUBSCRIBER WILL BE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO WIN ONE OF YOUR BUILDS YOU DO AND MAYBE YOUR SUBSCRIBERS WILL JUMP FROM 3 MILLION TO OVER 10 MIL EVEN 20+ WHO KNOWS AND YOU PICK ONE LUCKY,MIGHT EVEN CHANGE SOME LUCKY GUY OR GIRLS LIFE WITH A SWEET RIDE MAN,,JUST A THOUGHT MATT..KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK DUDE,,LOVE THIS CHANNEL
shout out from Brazil. What a Challenge mate. I lived in Midlands for 2 year, lots of M5 on the roads.
This is the only rebuild channel that I don't get bored while I'm watching it
Mat, how on earth do you find the time to produce/edit and film these videos AND fixing god knows how many cars at the same time? They are so brilliant, this is easily my favourite YT channel. Keep it up! (PS. Real shame about the Rolls, that would have been epic)
I would love working with you without getting paid... The skill you have really motivates me 🔥🔥🔥
I repaired a S African X6 that rolled with the same motor. Loads of water pipes and auxiliary pumps running in the front. Nevermind the intercoolers and intakes. Enjoy. You have your work cut out for your there bud! Neutral lever on the gearbox by the way.
NO WAY YOU ACTUALLY BOUGHT ANOTHER BMW YESSSSS
I can't wait to see you dealing with the amount of electronic issues you'll have to fix, as BMW owner I can guarantee you that these babies give you a hard time to repair. But at the end, it will be worth it because nothing compares to drive a BMW. Keep it up with the hard work man!!
Little tip with the cable tie use 2 one fold in half to make a loop feed the other through it and pull down it’ll make it 10x easier to thread a cable tie
Good luck Matt on this rebuild. I am going to follow this with interest.
"A front end knock" 😂 that's had a head on with the death star. We love the ambition Mat! Keep it up
😂😂😂😂
Tis but a scratch!
Probably wont buff out.
