In season 7 episode 19 of Wheeler Dealers, Mike Brewer and Edd China take on a new project: a 1987 BMW M3. The first part of this two-part episode sees the duo scouring car auctions and private sales in search of the perfect M3 to bring back to life.
After test driving several options, they finally settle on a white M3 with a red interior. The car has a few issues, including a faulty clutch, a noisy engine, and some rust, but Mike and Edd are confident they can fix these problems and turn a profit.
Back at the garage, Edd gets to work on the engine while Mike tackles some cosmetic repairs. Edd discovers that the M3 has some aftermarket parts installed, including a new air intake and a performance chip, which could explain its noisy engine. He also notices that the clutch has been poorly installed, causing it to slip.
Meanwhile, Mike begins repairing the rust and touching up the paint. He also upgrades the car's wheels and installs a new exhaust system. The pair work tirelessly on the car, with Edd spending long hours in the garage adjusting and fine-tuning the engine, while Mike puts the finishing touches on the car's exterior.
As the episode comes to a close, the BMW M3 is finally ready for a test drive. Mike and Edd take it out on the open road to see how it performs, and they're thrilled with the results. The car handles beautifully, and the engine runs smoothly thanks to Edd's repairs. But the real test will come when it's time to sell the car and see if they can turn a profit.
Overall, fans of Wheeler Dealers will love this episode's focus on a classic BMW sports car, and they'll appreciate the detailed work that goes into restoring it to its former glory. The banter between Mike and Edd adds some humor and personality to the show, making it a must-watch for car enthusiasts of all kinds.
