Jake's Epic BMW 135i Build Thread! (5+ Years of Ownership)
-
I was really expecting your into to involve "Oh! Didn't see you there!"
Can you get a light that attaches to the camera? Or add lights to the garage? The big stick light in many shots is odd, and it seems to really wash out other things when looking at the stainless bench.
Looking good sir! These videos have been excellent from day one.
I had more stuff filmed and planned for the intro but the video got really long so I cut it out.
I’ve been thinking about getting an LED light to mount on top of the camera, but then it’s not amiable/adjustable without having to bring the camera close up on something. Playing around with ideas on my low production budget right now

Not exactly a 135i update, but I bought another N54 car. I have three of them now!
Thanks @Jdesign for posting it and thanks TJ for running the CarFax!

I fixed the 335i for cheap and announced the giveaway winners, even though some of you guessed

Why is there a white pixel in the middle of the screen through most of the vid?
0:46 - to next clip
5:55 - 7:28I like the black handprint on the b pillar at 9:47
Too much talking, not enough burnouts or pulls

There has been a white pixel in the middle of the screen for almost all of my videos. Something between my camera and lens, dead pixel or something.
Didn't see the blank handprint you're talking about, but I know there was one in my 135i. Good call on the talking vs. car stuff. I think I need to shorten these videos up and include more action again.

Here is some video content for you guys!
And a few recent pictures...

your video production is excellent, and thank god someone who knows wtf they are talking about is making videos for the masses.
however, i beg you to please stop with the click-baity titles and video stills. just say what is in the video! you know why I don't like it? it wastes my time. i have to watch part of the video to figure out wtf youre going on about. it would be nice to know before i click and not waste my time. it makes me want to punch you in the face. and you're a nice guy, so, I feel guilty about that. but the urge is still there. you don't do it every time, but you are creepin into that zone.
For instance:
"The BEST Thing About BMW's in the WINTER! Do you have it?!one1OMG! "
RWD? Traction control? Heated seats? WTF are you talking about?
Instead try:
The rest button feature of my BMW: things are going to get heated
In summary:
Dont be click-bait Jake.

Have you read my username title?
I will admit the winter BMW feature video was a stretch. I don't think the video I just posted was clickbaity at all though.

Gotta play the content game if you want to succeed. You have to give someone a reason to click if you want them to even think about watching your video. With how many people are in the YouTube realm now and with how much content there is out there, you have to do what you have do. Pretty much all content creator driven channels do it, even the big ones. With only one platform with that has the user base (YouTube), you have to play the game and the cards that are given to you. If you make good content, everything else falls by the wayside as you grow a following, including clickbait titles.
