This week, we're trying to revive Edwin's half finished project car E36 that he bought for way too much money a few weeks ago. Will we get the car running and on the road with a fresh MOT, or will someone else's project car prove an impossible task to fix?
Huge shout out to BC Racing for getting the coilovers to us so fast! If you want a set, head here 👉 www.bc-racing.co.uk
Massive thank you to Smart Rimz Oxford for their help refurbishing the E36s wheels! 👉

#carthrottle #projectcar #e36
I’m loving the new direction the channel has taken since I lost track of it a few years ago. Every video I watched the past couple months has been top notch, very enjoyable to watch!
Absolutely agree with everything you've said. I'm thoroughly enjoying the videos these lads have been pumping out lately!
I was just about to say how good the content's been lately. Would also like to see the E36 when it's finished 🙏
Agreed. Fast becoming one of my favourite motoring channels.
Once Car Throttle lost Alex, they decided to get their head out of their arse and give the hosts a decent budget to work with, this is something Alex touched on in a podcast appearance, one of the reasons he left, it’s good to see this channel pumping out good content once again
@@kiantomlin1492even a short format
Here in Brazil we used to say "there's nothing more expensive than a cheap BMW" 😂😂
Mercedes is more expensive though
Jack has turned into a cracking presenter. I was worried about CT fizzling out after Alex left.. but these guys have kept it going and actually started making some really decent videos. Kudos!
Would be nice to see a collaboration with Alex though
@kidcowdy1231 I think as Alex said on a podcast recently it won't happen due to him upsetting the car throttle owners sadly but I see the trio leaving CT one day
@@Kieran_OPC the the ct owners pride took a knock, I don’t blame them, but at the same time they will need to get over it, there’s no point being bitter about it.
Alex is doing a video with Ethan about miles. Coming on his channel on Friday.
the vibes are much better now. ethan's bullying has stopped and he's become much more knowledgeable and interested in cars
I powder coated these wheels!! Glad to finally see them on the car ! Turned out greatttttt
You absolutely did a killer job on those wheels. They really do look amazing!
they look mint!
Cracking job u did m8. they look sweet af
As someone currently having my old crappy W126 renovated this video gives me hope. Keep it up boys
As someone chasing someone else's bodges on my project car this episode hit hard. You really pulled off quite the transformation in a week!
I 100% approve of Edwin's desire for a btcc homage!!!!
Once again we can see that Edwin has exquisite taste. Good job 🤝🤝
Edwin is really starting to be my new favourite. Great addition
Y'all have great chemistry amongst each other, makes it a joy to watch any video you guys put out
Just finished getting my Golf 2 back on the road. All poly bushings, coilovers, GTI axle in the rear, VW heritage sports steeringwheel, new cooling system, etc. Videos like this kept me motivated.
Best video so far, love how Edwin, Jack and Ethan are developing
I honestly think this channel has gotten much better since Alex left nothing against Alex but it just seems more enjoyable to watch
This is looking good boys, this E36 is going to look great again! I also have a sedan from '98, it's a 318i Edition with lots of options like climate control, cruise control, park distance control. Lovely car, exept the head gasket... that sadly blew out a few days ago. It's leaking coolant at the exhaust side of the engine. So we have some work to do. :) Good luck on your E36 project guys!
CT has been back on track for a while now. Well done lads! Hope you'll do an update on this BMW.
I love the mixture of Jack's pure automotive enthusiasm and his "I'm so sick of this shit" vibe 😀
Always a good day when CT uploads :)
Not true but it's okay to have an opinion.
@@samuelgarrod8327 ?
Got to love an old bmw. Still dirve mine daily even at 314k miles
Love the BTCC style. There's something just right about a 90s saloon lowered on a set of Comps, OZ Racings or Speedlines
Brilliant editing. The pacing is perfect.
I’ve inherited my dad’s 2006 focus ST after he passed away recently. It is showing signs of age and wear and tear as well as rust starting to happen. I’ve decided to attempt to restore the car to as close to brand new condition as i can and keep it on the road for as many years as i possibly can
Hope you manage to pull it off
WE LOVE CAR THROTTLE IN TORONTO, KEEP IT GOING BOYS!! BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR YEARS. (you guys are the only car channel my wife will watch with me)
Love the dynamic in the gang in the last few videos. So good
Some years ago now, my ex used to have a white E36 318is manual sedan. It was a really cool car to drive. I must admit while my E90 323i (sadly auto) is perfectly nice, I am really coming to appreciate how both the E36 and E46 series BMWs look so good and in many ways havn’t dated.
I love videos where people save old sad cars. Every good 70s 80s and 90s car that gets saved and put back on the road is a huge win
I've started working on my project beetle, parked it about 10 years ago, paint looks a bit rough in spots even though it has never seen a day's rain. Suspect the old guy that did most of the bodywork didn't clean spots well enough before painting. Hardest part is finding all the bots and bobs that I still need to put back, luckily it is only a few interior items, and windows that needs to go in. We even redid the cylinder heads, then I drove it about 200m home and parked it. Going to sell it,m but already have all the parts, so moight as well complete the work and get as much as I can for the car. Luckily done in a 1pack paint so pretty easy to paint again, Its like 30 GBP for 5 liters. At least for our MOT, you just take a place in the que, no appointments.
Love what you guys are doing this channel is going in a really nice direction. It's a pleasure to watch
Looks great with the white alloys! Great job gents.
Good going guys! Keep the good work!
the guy who transported the e36 also transported my classic mini, and that was easier to get off lmao! had to double check when i saw the van's licence plate!
White E36 Saloon - Win Removing all the tat and making it somewhat OEM - Win Retro BTCC vibes - Win Amber indicators on an E36 - THE BIGGEST WIN
In true Car Throttle style!
as someone whos currently restoring a first gen 4runner, i can only say, sometimes you just gotta work on the stuff that makes it look good rather than the stuff that needs doing, just to get motivated again :D
BC Racing sending Auto Alex 10 sets a week yet Edwin has to buy his own - BC sort it out hah!
The on screen chemistry is excellent between you three.
I hope we get to see it finished 🤔 absolute shame you’re not continuing this one on 🤷🏼♂️ !!! But I really enjoyed watching 😊😊
i do love how the compmotives transform the entire look. im vested in this one!
Maybe an unpopular and opinion and I have nothing against Alex as a person but I feel like his departure was the best thing for CT in the end. Videos are great 👍
Great video as always, car looks amazing! We need to see Jack's E36 get sorted on this channel at some point
Not sure if Ethan still does the edit, but he’s by far the best editor of the KZhead car shows I watch. You might think people won’t notice, but we do.
Great video, motivates me to fix some of the issues on my old E46
Throughly enjoying these new episodes! Top work boys!
Nice job lads, that's looking great 😮
Great video - love the e36 and those wheels! Looking forward to seeing the 924 again, but please show the e36 after Edwin has done some more work!
I really want to see Edwin finish this project, please make it into a third video
Can't wait to see this all being done again for an E46. Counting on Jack with this one.
Car throttles videos are making a comeback id say some good videos coming out! Good job guys
Another great video, you guys are killing it. 👏
You guys need to take the Key West 106 and get it fully detailed! Take out the shite stains in the seats, freshen up the plastics and fill cut and buff, would look so smart when done, make 200-300 quid easily
Hey at the end off the video I can see Ethan's yellow Ford Focus sitting in the background behind Ethan it's great too see it on the channel since when he drove it when Alex was a part off the show. PS I really love Ethan's Skoda Octavia with the nice set off wheels on it.
This is the best line up for car throttle. 😎
So glad you guys are saving that car I have had an e36 328i coupe for 18 years been dry stored in heated garaged unused for 14 of those years now become a collector car.
Loving this new era of car content, car throttle, auto alex, harrys garage, Tyrrells, Drivetribe etc.
Great video, keep up the good content 👍
Great video totally enjoyed it cars looking good 👍
Love it . Should have kept the pre face nose cone on it tho !
Spent the best part of the last year and a half chasing bodges on a car I sold in 2019. Suffice to say, you guys have gotten very lucky here.
The best car trio on youtube atm easily
I love 90's cars with white wheels so this ticks will my boxes. This was an incredible amount of hard work for one week, so consider that an achievement, and get the MOT another time. Maybe it'll have an interior by then as well?
the transition when taking the first wheel off was smooth as hell
Very well done boys!
You guys are so cool and down to earth
i love how happy Edwin was to see the brake lights working... whilst there is no rear subframe, let alone brakes or even wheels on the car...
Loving the videos guys!
"Fixing" the ABS-light, then putting the drive-shaft with ABS-impulsring in :D
The vehicle is a non ABS car, however, as explained, the cluster was swapped with the engine, resulting in an abs light. The rear drive shaft for the upgraded rear axle also came from a car with ABS, however the vehicle itself still has no abs and needs no abs warning light.
Tbh i think Edwin is a better fit ...The current car throttle team go well together👍
Channel better then ever keep it up lads❤
Edwin’s a proper car nut I love it 👌
Top Job Chaps 🤘
Love this trio
Starting to think Alex leaving was the best thing to happen. Proper project cars getting actual things done to them.
Glad this comment wasn’t liked by CT. Hope to see a reunion on camera at some point
alexs videos are miles better than these lol
@@connormatthews522 couldn't disagree more. Alex video's are cringe and these lot are so natural and relaxed infront of the camera
@@connormatthews522have they finished anything they’ve set out to do? I like the channel but it’s just buying shit boxes and driving them to the Nurburgring. Don’t really do much work on the cars.
@@connormatthews522 alex's channel is so predictable now. buy shit car, find out how much itll cost to fix, then never see the car again hahaha
Lads that is looking sweet 🏁
Absolutely love how this e36 has turned out! we’ll done Edwin! man had a vision and accomplished it, shame about the last second bust but you know bmw..
9:55 nice triumph tr4 standing there
Haha really enjoyed watching again!
The wheels are amazing, the car looks great
Never thought I’d see the day when I thought Ethan would actually have the coolest car. That Octavia is🔥👌🏻
Another great video on the channel 👌👌👌
Oh god, this is gonna be a nightmare...
now you gotta get some red brembos to go behind them fresh wheels
"Not MY E36, man" needs to be a new Car Throttle T shirt.
Love to see the finished product
I have a video request...... Average Awd family estate (a4 all road, xc70, octavia scout, forester something like that) turned into a full on rally car. Ideally still with a diesel though, but that's just because I love diesels.
That E36 looks good on them rims.
looks amazing, cant wait till its finished lads! but will it ever be? i know as a proud owner of a 2006 e46 330ci m sport ! but i luv it always something to do.
This is really top content. Proper realistic motoring, although that chassis is unrealistically rust free 😂
Need to watch the film the Chase, always remember this BMW with that film
hands down the best car show on the internet.
Nice turnaround lads 👍🏻
Really cool video this. I’m annoyed I sold mine so fast. I had a white saloon with an m3 kit. Sounded so good
Simon (and Nick) at Rotrip are pretty good people to deal with. I'm popping by tomorrow.
Good work looks cool fun to drive
Let's go gentlemen!
Mega E36! I've always wanted one too.
I’m fixing up my Alfa Romeo GTV. The adding up defects are so relatable 😂
You guys are much more genuine than the auto Alex channel. Thats become very forced. Loving your work
things cheer u up...a car throttle video ❤
It looks soooooo good on those wheels. White on white is always a good combo. Noice
Lovely video!
I had a white E36 many years ago. It's the car I drove my wife home in after our wedding. It was probably my favourite car I've owned
Me too! 325iS coupe. Roadtripped across America, drove home from my wedding in it.
