Ep 19. BMW M3 E36 Convertible (1)

Wheeler Dealers season 6 episode 19 features the iconic BMW M3 E36 Convertible, a car that holds a special place in the hearts of car enthusiasts worldwide. In this episode, the show’s hosts, the affable Mike Brewer and the expert mechanic Edd China, set out to restore the battered and beaten convertible to its former glory.

The episode kicks off with Mike Brewer on the hunt to find a suitable M3 E36 Convertible candidate for the boys to work on. After scouring the classifieds and meeting with various potential sellers, Mike eventually manages to track down a car that meets their criteria. The car is a 1994 BMW M3 E36 Convertible that’s seen better days. The engine is running rough, the bodywork is dented and scuffed, and the interior looks like it’s seen way too much action.

Despite the car’s rough condition, Mike is confident that they can transform it into a thing of beauty. He and Edd negotiate a price with the seller, and they quickly get to work on the first steps of the restoration process. The first challenge is to get the car running smoothly again, which requires the duo to do a full engine service, replace worn-out parts, and install new performance upgrades.

One of the most exciting parts of this episode is watching Edd as he works his magic on the BMW’s engine. He's a skilled mechanic who knows the BMW inside out, and he takes the time to explain some of the finer details of the car’s engineering to viewers. Seeing Edd take apart the engine block, replace worn-out camshafts, and install new pistons and valves is a mesmerizing sight for anyone who loves cars.

Once the engine is running smoothly, the boys turn their attention to the car’s bodywork. Removing dents and scuff marks is a crucial part of any car restoration project, and the BMW is no exception. Mike and Edd take their time to sand down the car’s body panels, repaint them, and add a new clear coat for a shiny finish.

The team also spends time rejuvenating the BMW’s interior. The car’s seats are worn and damaged, and the dashboard needs some serious work. Mike takes the lead in sourcing high-quality seat covers and interior trim pieces, while Edd applies his skills to fix the dashboard and install new gauges.

Throughout the episode, viewers get a close-up look at the restoration process from start to finish. The show’s producers use a combination of fast-paced editing and slow-motion shots to create a dynamic and engaging viewing experience. Whether you’re a seasoned gearhead or just a casual viewer, there’s plenty to love about this episode.

Without giving too much away, the episode ends with Mike and Edd unveiling the beautifully restored BMW M3 E36 Convertible for the first time. The car looks incredible, and the boys take it for a spin to show off its newfound power and agility.
