Glad you are here, friend!

welcome! glad to see another e30 on board.

and nice video. constructive criticism: the spinning transition is a bit nauseating. since your content is good i think simple transitions will hold their own. i like your simple, honest video titles and cover images and that you havent fallen into the youtube obnoxiousness by giving your videos click-bait titles and cover images.

Thanks! I do appreciate the feedback. I was playing with transitions for the last couple videos, but I think you're right. Less is more. Thanks again for watching and commenting!

Welcome to here! Nice 318i, the m42 is a great engine in the e30 chassis and you can really have a lot of fun with it! Any plans with it or just enjoy as is?

Thanks! As of now, nothing too major. Simple repairs getting myself acclimated to the mechanics and anatomy of an engine, suspension, etc. Also it's hard to have too many plans when you're two years out of school and still mildly impoverished haha. Ultimately I'd love to do an engine swap down the road, but that's still an intimidating notion as this is my first Bimmer and I have much to learn.

Thanks! I grew up on the north side near Bayshore mall, but now I live in New Berlin to be closer to work.

His dreams are already a reality - he has a running E30. 

My parents live in New Berlin, i grew up there and visit Snap often when I take the kids to see the grandparents. 

As far as the video goes, I'm not trying to discourage you, but I'm going to challenge you to think about what really makes your content any different than the other 8070970980 "car review" channels on YouTard nowadays. Everyone basically says the same things about the same cars. In my opinion, savagegeese has probably the best YouTard channel for car reviews because he is doing it truly differently than everyone else - his opinions are truly his perspective as opposed to regurgitated stats about cars that so many people use as filler content, and he has branched into different types of car content with things like his "Fine Print" series. 

There's too much saturation on YouTard with the car scene right now and like any other group of people on the planet, there's a few winners and a whole lot of losers. I watched your M3 video and to me it was like any of the other 500 F8x M3 videos I've seen. I admittedly kept yours unmuted for longer than anyone else because you didn't have much footage of the awful exhaust note. I also wholly disagree with the F8x platform as a whole, which is why I have a supercharged E92 and daily an S4 because even on the best of days I could only see using the F8x as a daily, but it's not that good at being a daily compared to other cars out there like the S4. I'm salty because BMW has lost me as a customer completely at this point, though, and I really want to like the F8x M3 but I just can't do it anymore with the shit cars they are producing nowadays. 

Welcome to the forum. PM me where you live in New Berlin we can meet up sometime maybe with Snap too.

Funny how everything gravitates to New Berlin. Welcome to the forum and great to see another e30 back in the neighborhood!

Well I have to say I genuinely appreciate the feedback. You're entirely correct, there are sooo many people doing the same thing and I worry about my stuff being white noise. The last couple weeks I've been trying to find a direction as my channel grows (albeit slowly). I'd be interested in picking your brain and seeing what people like yourself would like to see. The issue is, based on my findings in my analytics, my videos are consumed predominantly by your average joe who is looking for a Japanese econobox with Car Play. Those people want specs, features, and a mild test drive impression. In any case, thanks for the feedback!

Welcome!

Do you have any pics of your car next to a normal sized e30?  Sometimes that is the best way to show the difference.
