After 5 years, almost to the day, I’m finally presenting to you a new video on my 2004 E46 325i Touring! The last time this car was in the spotlight on this channel was in 2018, when I filmed a short 3.5min video dropping the subframe and replacing my cracked oil pan! After 5 years, and plenty of comments asking about this car in the background, I finally gathered enough parts to go through the entire car inside and out and, not only bring you guys the content you’ve been demanding, but giving myself what feels like a brand new car!!

In this episode, I go through some issues in the engine bay, disassemble all of the suspension, clean everything thoroughly with my new parts washer, and install all new components courtesy of my friends at FCP Euro and Fortune Auto Coilovers! I’m unbelievably excited with how the car has turned out so far, and I can’t wait to show you guys part 2 of this series next week to see the final result!

As always, I hope you guys enjoy the video, and I’ll see you next week!

One love,
-Aidan.

  • How are people sleeping on this dude! His taste in music, taste in motors, his eye for detail not only in paint correction and detailing but in his edits. The man's a vibe

    Again, I would like to extend my thanks to FCP Euro and Fortune Auto for supporting this project! I genuinely wouldn't be able to do this without their help! And of course, thank you to everybody who drops love, constructive criticism, and jokes in the comments! I appreciate you all so much! 🖤

    the attention to detail is just so amazing. and the fact that this is shot on an iPhone is just proof you don't need a crazy expensive setup to make great videos. your editing skills are fantastic. can't wait for the next one. I'm glad your back to creating and entertaining us.

    You might want to replace that fan clutch so it doesn't fail catastrophically and take out all your hoses and hood tho...
  • @Jesko_VRS
    35 minutes of pure therapy and relaxation for the mind and soul. Genuinely, thank you for this 🤝🏻

    Hey Aidan! Just wanted to give a tip on removing wheels that way you don't have to sit under the car kicking it while its sitting on jack stands... Leave 1 bolt on the wheel hand tight and hit the inside of the wheel on the tire with a large rubber mallet. Wheel should come off in 2 hits tops, plus when it comes loose it wont roll around the floor, it'll get caught by the bolt you left in! Another well made video.

    how i have only just found this account, possibly THE best vibe I've ever seen out of 99% of the youtubers out there. MAD inspiration for sure!!
  • @SrFive77

  • @Chattsteezy

  • Between you & Jim I’m never gonna get into a groove w my homework bro 😭
  • @MySebi1
    Another masterpiece from the man himself! Love it to watch 🙏🏻
  • @catae7188
    Great taste in music. Great taste in cars. Good job. much love!
  • Amazing video mate! Just a tip: when a wheel is stuck on the hub try to leave one wheel lug nut in with just some turns so if you have to kick your wheel it doesn’t fall of
  • @budrobadre
    A new Aidan video to watch feels like a present. Your workshop is awesome man. My biggest dream is to have a place like this where I can just work on my bimmers in peace.
  • @hinext2510
    It's an absolute pleasure to be able to experience the E46 in such a relaxed atmosphere!
  • YOU HAD ME WATCHING SO INTENTLY,I COULD ONLY REFLECT ON THE NATURE OF WORK LIKE THE COMPANY RIDICK in the UK that performs restorations. Great job and commitment to correctness
  • @8althaZar
    Your excellent taste and skill in cars, videography and music meets the black magic art of greasing up coilovers. Simply delicious.
  • @RoyaC9
    Just leave a stud half tight so the wheel doesnt fall and you can hit it safely!! Or add some copper grease now😝
