REBUILDING A WRECKED BMW M3 THAT CRASHED INTO A HOUSE

I bought a wrecked BMW M3 G80 that was hit the news articles after it was crashed into the front of a residential house. With the driver being uninsured the car never got as far as the insurance, which left open a good deal to be had & an even bigger repair to be done!

Same thing happened to my dads 530D E60 Manual!!! He chopped it out and fixed it all up on our backgarden!! All thats left is a tiny bit of welding and paint but sadly he passed away on the 16th of feb from stage 4 cancer so now its down to me!!!! Labour of love but im gonna enjoy fixing it in honour of him! What a legend he was and I love your guys channel to the moon and back!
Damn that sucks man !
should film it and post it
@@nwz.a I’ll defo make a video on it when I get it out in the sunshine :) not before a good wash tho :P
Good luck bro
I’m sorry to hear that man Good for you for carrying the project on though fair play to you mate
Hey Matt, When I was 16 I had a kidney transplant and it lasted 13 years. Unfortunately august last year that kidney failed and I now have dialysis 3 times a week for 4 hours a day at the hospital. But watching and enjoying your videos helps me massively dealing with this situation. Keep up your amazing work! You are a massive inspiration for a lot of us petrol heads! 👏🏻🚗🔧
Big up you man, never let it put you in a box. Keep pushing ❤
wow
W king
Hey man keep it up. I've been on dialysis since 2001 with 2 transplants in between that each lasted less than 5 years. It sucks but can be done long term!! I go to a center also 3 nights 4 hours each but it's kept me around for my little boys.
❤ All the best
Looking forward to see how the back quarter turns out
Nice to see you hear Aaron.
Mat. Please don’t retire. Don’t stop. You are brilliant.
Valvoline.… you know what I mean ? 😉
if batman had a bmw😂
HELLYEAH!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND THE GREAT VIDEOS YOU SHARE!!!
Hi Mat, some info for you. The reason why your second-hand headlights worked once swapping the modules from the old unit is because they are specifically coded into the FRM (Foot-Well Module). Each car has its own unique FRM and, in turn, means the modules are also coded to that specific FRM. For example if your footwell module went down and had to be replaced you would have to code the FRM to the vehicle and then the modules would code in from there. How I think of it is modules can't communicate with their FRM if it's not made aware they are present. Hope that helps
Can you reprogram new lights with esys?
@@dsiisus You sure can.
spot on! all modern cars are sneekey like this. I remember when ia had my MK3 golf .. not that was plug and play :D
You have 1 module thats the big square one and it is coded too the car. The other ones are just heatsinks for the LEDs. You can code the other headlight modules
these vehicle lights run with the Body domain controller or BDC, and the has the use of control units in the headlights and links with the module that switches then on and off by the drivers side.
You could have easily uploaded half of this video (just after the front end repair) and called it there, but you give us full out 39 minutes of amazing content. Most KZheadrs would have made several videos out of this. Great work again, can’t wait for the next one! 👏🏼
This. The amount of content per ep is crazyyy. Love ya matt
I prefer longer videos. It's like, you start to get into it and then boom, it's over? Naaaaaah LOL
That's why he is the best
Just enjoy the content fella
Yep Matty the 🐐
You and Tavarish are the best car rebuild channels on KZhead in terms of detailed build showcase, educational explanations and build storytelling. Thank you so much for your work! Would be great to see some rebuild with extreme modifications, like an offroad build or part-maxxing a really cheap chassis ;)
So nice that you can do this with your father !! Last week me and my dad decided to fix a broken seat slider in my car. It's a simple Renault Clio seat, no fuss about it, and we had a spare one in the cellar. We had to figure out where all the bolts are, how to disconnect air bag lines and how to deal with tricky torx screws since we don't have the torx nuts and screwdrivers. It took us 3 hours to do everything but it was so worth it. Great way to play with a car a bit, and even better to do it with my father.
Mat is gently and steadily taking the spot that Top Gear and Fifth Gear used to occupy. The story telling is like no other on youtube. Love the show.
What are you talking about? This is a totally different subject matter . One test/review Cars ,Mat fixes accident, damaged cars on KZhead . 😂
No one will never take the top gear spot. Top gear on🔝
Overdrive, Top Dead Centre, and Gears & Gasoline are filling that void for me. G&G do a lot of road trips and they're fantastic to watch!
I love Mat but he'll never be the cultural icon that top gear was.
*cringe*
MOM! MAT ARMSTRONG POSTED!!!
This comment makes me feel old 😂
I feel exactly the same 🤣🤣
Plot twist: this guy is 45 but spends so much money fixing up old cars, he has to live with his parents.
😂
What you telling your mum for ? Permission to watch a PG KZhead video? So long as you’ve done your homework your bedroom is tidy and your beds made crack on 😂
So much respect for Matt that he is willing to work on so many different types of cars in varying conditions. He tackles so many projects that most people wouldn't even touch.
Another great video Matt... A real pleasure to watch you and your Dad work together...
How happy to be on the video was that young lad who changed the windscreen at the beginning! Nice one Matt, I think you made his day
Thanks for the comment,that’s my son on work experience, he was so excited, absolutely loved it 👍
you made the account 48 minutes ago
@@Amiriririlol
@@Amiriririand?
@@Amiriririprobably to thank him right?🤷🏽
That Rolls Royce pause when he reads the oil label… Mat hinting the Wraith?👀
Totally 👌🏻
Yeah looks like he a had a mark or rash at the same time
Marcus Rashfords rolls Royce maybe?!
Nice little Easter egg that I thought 😂
BMW engines are in the Rolls Royce cars as BMW own Rolls Royce.
That laugh of Tony when Mat said "J'ai fini" in french... priceless. Love so much what you are doing on your channel ! Thanks and keep up the good work and great content !
What can I say, A master class of rebuild. Just because you are one of the best guys on earth and not to mention with the best attitude and great personality, It is why you get everything right from first try. I love your vlogs, they are so natural and entertaining. Job well done mate.
I’m in my 50’s so maybe a little old school. In saying that I’m must confess that the new front bumper cover looked bloody nice. It will look fantastic when in colour. Nice one Mat. P.S…love the longer video 👍🏻
17:12 THAT FRONT BUMPER LOOKS SOOO GOOOOOOD ❤
I don't like the huge bar right in the middle of the grill. It is the thing that you would usually cut out when this would be original to put a clean grill in.
It really does. I wonder if the BMW folks see this and there's that one guy who designed the OE one that they all give a hard time.
Looks like the Dodge Charger
@@Mastermoussa The horizontal bar is a styling cue from the BMW GT3 race car, it's cool to see it on a road car
@@russiank9802 agreed, this bumper reminds me of tj's m4
Wow, amazing progress. That new front bumper looks sick, can't wait to see it painted.
Just loving your success, Mat. Big respect - all your hard work and years of graft are finally paying off. No one deserves it more than you, my friend
I'm convinced you could upload a 10 hour video and I wouldn't get bored. love the way you structure the videos Mat🙌🙌
Hey Matt I’ve just rebuilt a 530d and had the same issues replacing the headlights, I too swapped the modules and got them working. I’m sure it’s to do with the original modules already coded to the car. Your face when they worked reminded me that’s how I looked when mine worked. Keep up the good work matey
Yep, lights has their own processors so you must code it to the car.
Yoo!! Thanks for making my evening... you deserve all the success not only for entertaining and inspiring us but also the sheer hard work and dedication to pull this off!.. that dashboard work looked brutal enough not to mention the oil cooler drama😅. Cant wait for the final segment ..cheers 🙌🏿
Absolutely loving this build Matt. Your videos and content are unique and your relationship with your team and sponsors is awesome. Really looking forward to seeing the M3 hitting the road again.
Headlights worked since u changed the light control unit (it contains the original VIN to the vehicle ) the rest of the headlight is just wiring and LEDs. I think there’s even a way to program the unit but it requires special tools to rewrite the EPROM that contains all the codes inside the CU. So happy to see the lights pop on and understanding how everything works is even more exciting.
what does CU mean
@@phr3ui559 I think its Control Unit, but I might be wrong
Loving the longer video and showing more work being done! Kudos to you Mat and your family, they seem beyond friends, been following you since the start and you get better every video! Editing and content is always top notch! Great job 👍🏼
Thank you for these videos Mat, really nice to watch after 12 hour work day. Love from Finland
Mzansi 🇿🇦🇿🇦 in the building. We LOVE this CAR in South Africa. Especially because the E30 325is is the most iconic car!!
Been wiating as well..Straight From South Africa zaza👍
As a South African, this is 100% true

He never disappoints Ur right 👍
Brilliant. Great video. Really enjoyed that instalment. Looking forward to the next one. Great week team.
wow what a difference you are a wizard with these builds fave channel keep up the good work looking forward to seeing the back end being done
Mr.Armstrong......you and your dad are a topclass miracleworkers. I tip my hat to you.

+1 over here
I hit the like button even before I started the video, love your work mate and the dynamic of the entire crew.
Tuned In from SA 🇿🇦
Your a brave man mat. That damage would have scared me to even attempt. Keep up the excellent work
Matt your videos are uplifting mate, I hope you keep getting all the success you deserve.
35:54 "for rolls Royce quite interesting isn't it?" Matt giving us a hint that his brought the rolls Royce 😂
really hope he did😂
I do collision repair for a living and absolutely love these videos. Matts videos are like that one cool car you get to fix every couple months in the shop but for every video. So entertaining. Best of luck with the rear end, looks bad on camera but definitely very fixable
Thank you for doing this kind of hard work!
Never forget how much utility normal and od cars bring to peoples lives too... keep up the good work! I'm sure some of it will outlive us!
@Torquematterz, yes, with proper equipment and the required skills but unfortunately both seem to be lacking from this channel 🤣 🤣🤣
They are pretty open about this beeing an entertainment focused channel. I find it also often inspiring…
Amazing Job So far Matt and Team. Keep Up the Good work and Look forward to the Next One.
Love this, wanna do a similar build in the future so seeing the process and results is awesome!
All the love and support from SOUTH AFRICA🇿🇦🇿🇦❤🔥
Go saffa!💪👍🇬🇧🇿🇦🇿🇦
Me too hey been waiting for the follow up vid
I've been waiting for so long for this vid too😭🤟🏾🇿🇦
I’m surprised you have electricity to be able to watch this..
@@edjohn4590cmon man, don’t be so narrow minded 🫣
So much progress in each video. No other KZheadr has this kind of pace. It's very refreshing in a world where every little thing is drawn out on each build. Love watching every vid. Keep it up, Mat.
Then you should also consider watching Goonzquad
mat is lucky to have quick local access to parts unlike the other youtubers who have to wait for oversea parts from europe
Matt Armstrong!!! I love your videos mate!!! Watching them and watching the details you share through your videos makes me enjoy them more and more... Sharing the experience and joy you go through and showing your commitment through your builds gives me joy knowing you get joy through these projects!!! LOVE IT MATE AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND THE VIDOES!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Your videos are so good! Congratulations on the valvoline partnership!
@MatArmstrongbmx- I enjoy your videos so much that it makes me feel like I'm there with you all fixing these beauties up. It's a great way to decompress after a long day of work. Your dad is honestly my favorite part of the episodes. He is always smiling and like nothing can bother him. He is so supportive and helpful. Even enjoy Liam popping in, Mallory is amazing as well for helping out when they can and making bangs and pops after a quick tune. Dude knows what he's doing. Keep it up and I look forward to the next one!
Your channel has probably become my favorite car youtuber content to watch. I have no idea how you put out as much content as you do, but keep it up. I love how much gets done in each of your videos, most car content online is really small amounts of progress. Thats why your content is so good, you get tons done. "Look at it thrive under here!!!!"
Love your channel. Makes my Friday getting home from work wind down. You and your dad are lucky to have each other. Would love to have a beer with the two of you!
Favorite build so far.. I love EVERY single thing about it.
Ethan is just everywhere helping out, what a gent 💪👌
I cant be the only one that got the pun @35:54 ?? Can't wait for the Rolls!!! Well done on this build.
I was just about to post a comment like this, nice teaser from Mat 😅
Yep seen his story on insta aswell ab the rolls cant wait for it
I’m assuming ur talkin about Marcus Rashfords crashed one?
@@mubeen4260 Exactly!!
I don't get it? Because rolls royce owns bmw?!
Great video Matt, keep up the good work. Love it!!
The front bumper is absolutely beautiful! 😍 Great work!
Amazing rebuild, and another amazing video! Keeping it humble! 🙌
Love your humility and goofiness, your one of the only KZheadrs I believe deserves the success you’ve achieved
HOW LUCKY! Getting the parts protected via a wrap!! You are the ONLY person I know who modifies a car while the rear quarter is toast!! Matt, Please check the drivers seat belt, when you hold it up at 25:09 it looks like there are two nicks in the belt?
Even if it hasn't got a nick it's stopped the driver headbutting the dash - it should be replaced rather than reset. Ditto the passenger one if it had someone in it during the crash.
New fan. Ill fall asleep watching my other car shows on YT and always wake up in the middle of MA 3 hour vids and cant go back to sleep. Great job on these video’s, and I absolutely love your attitude in general but especially towards problems you run into. 👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥
New to the channel, loving the content. Amazed at the challenge you take on. Can see myself going through the back catalogue!
Your view count is absolutely nuts. People should really subscribe this dude is amazing to watch. Him and his team do a much better job than a lot of other creators in this category!
Congrats with the valvoline partnership man, absolutely well deserved! only hard work and dedication
you make good progress each car you go faster with more confidence nice to witness !
What an insane First Epsiode of rebuild on it 😳 so much done !!!
One day, I would love to repair cars like you.I am 18 and I love your videos, I always look at the entire video.Once I have the money and the tools, I will do the same job as you, thank you for making my day better when you post.I love it
Just keep in mind he makes 40-50k a month from youtube,so he's not making any money from the cars ,and doesn't need to..its just good content..great videos tho
You have a laugh no matter what the issue, you know there's a way to overcome it. It doesn't matter the cost. it's just great to see how it's going to turn out in the end and the journey to getting there is superb. Dont let your ego get like the tv celebs we've seen on top gear. Keep it real like you are doing. It's truly great.
Yeah, I gotta agree. That new Bumper definitely improves the front end. I'm looking forward to seeing it painted up!
Fair play really enjoyed that vid looking forward to the next update!
Dude........that front bumper is another level ........ The headlight color is so and so......but your work makes it look easy to repair cars.....well done.....I am a big fan of you guys .......and now you have fans from Tripoli Libya which is where I am located.....keep up the great work you do.
I'm not really a fan of BMW, but the way you present the rebuild is phenomenal. Thank you and I can't wait to see another episode!
Agreed hate bmws ugly cars
@@Karakaboardriderswe’ll it’s actually not ugly to meand many people out there.And its not about being good looking or ugly .Its actually about engine and the overall experience u get with a bmw. Peace ✌️
My number 1 inspiration 💥. Amazing content like always
Love your Video! Keep up your wonderful work! Greetings from Germany!!!
MAT THAT FRONT BUMPER!!!!! YOU ARE FIXING THE CAR IN WAYS I DID NOT THINK POSSIBLE. Holy beautiful!!!
wow, he put a bumper on it 😮
@@glareicebutts1423 A way better one than BMW designed themselves. No longer does his car look like a Squirrel.
@@glareicebutts1423 it’s a horrendously hideous car. Putting a front bumper on it had a surprisingly extreme effect on that.
I love 99% of the modifications you do but that DRL yellow is no go for me but the front bumper did make up for it! Still maintaining the 10/10 score for me! Love all the content and keep up the great work!
Great video and well done Matt - keep up the good work
Hi Matt, both myself and my Dad are addicted to your builds, but sadly my father passed away on Monday. He has left a massive hole in my heart , and he will be gutted he missed this build as he loved BMW’s, so please make this an epic build, and I can’t wait to see it. Cheers Matt & Team God bless 👍
I'm sorry for your loss
Mayhis soul rest in peace
Take peace in the knowledge that he'll be right there watching it with you, he may be physically out of your sight now but he'll be forever by your side, God bless you both
RIP
So sorry man...
Love this can’t wait for next update I just love M3’s keep up the good work Matt👍👍
You guys are lucky to have all these parts easily ACCESIBLE in the UK, if this was in South Africa this built would be a nightmare.
Yaaah.... The fact that they order and go collect it arrives next day or same day is astounding to me
I’ll do 1 push-up for every like this comment gets.
Every dislike is a push up you don’t have to do 👀
Ok
72 is easy tho
No you won't
No you won’t you just want like but what are the likes good for?
I absolutely love this channel. Wishing you and your team nothing but the best all the way from California.
This guy can repair everything 💯
binge watched loads of these new, awesome channel looking forward to seeing the wraith fixed up
10k likes and I'll fly to England and ask Matt for a job
Please stay at home😮😂
💀💀💀
I literally manisfested the adro bumper since the start of the video 😍🔥 Looks great!
WOW, totally blown away Mat, you guys have smashed it out of the park. We are so lucky to have you and spoil all of us with so much content. Totally love everything and everyone on the channel. Thanks again Mat, you've made my night😘🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥂🤗🤗🤗🤗🤯🤯🤯🤯🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Awsome work Mat & Co🎉
This channel is a well oiled machine , professional entertaining content. Cheers guys.❤
Your show is absolutely fantastic! The way you effortlessly simplify the complexities of car rebuilding makes it not only easy to understand but also incredibly fun to follow along. Your dedication to delivering high-quality content is truly inspiring. Keep up the amazing work.
LOVE THIS CONTENT AND ENJOY MATT'S EXPERIENCES!!!
Great video the time just flyed by and it is crazy how far has mat come as a mechanic
Big like for your work mate, i enjoy waching your videos LOVE IT !
20:17 amazing! That is a ingenious way of getting the damage out of the back by putting that tool in and pumping it. I have some damage on my personal vehicle from a rear end incident and I'm thinking of taking that idea and seeing if I could pump out the dent myself
This is amazing... such a fun series, and I cannot wait for the next video!
The modules you changed on the headlights with the red seal around the multi plug is called a FLE(R) and FLE(L) or front light electronics r=right l=left . These are coded to the vehicle which is why the brand new second hand ones didn’t work . Swapping them works or like you said in the video a software update/coding would of also worked . When working on a BMW group vehicle you need to be using ISTA diagnostics. It would make your like so much easier . 👍🏼👍🏼
I admire what you do, I have always liked this type of work, I wish you were closer and could help me repair my vehicle, keep moving forward and recovering more high-end vehicles that are abandoned...
Absolutely awesome watch ❤ love your content so much 👍👍👍👍
Another awesome vid... look forward to your next one... hello from Adelaide South Australia
Incredible episode! Best channel for me
Loving the upgrade to the front bumper ❤
I really love your content brother. This is really entertaining Im not gonna lie. Very informative and cool. One day I'll get to follow you drive one of your cool cars with my drone. Keep up the great work from Lebo in South Africa 🇿🇦
That car look mean bro love the bumper and can't wait to see it finish well done done guys 💯
Absolutely Incredible! Best attitudes and editing to make this difficult process understood and easily consumable. Cheers!!! = )
A great video one of the best second time watching so good keep up the fantastic work 😊
