BMW E30 325i Touring Engine First Start - What Happened To The Touring

Thanks to Magic Spoon for sponsoring today’s video. To try a variety pack and get free shipping, go to → https://magicspoon.thld.co/restoreit​

In this episode, I take you back in time to when the touring first came into the workshop for a simple engine bay clean up, which quickly turned into a lot more than I was expecting.

Once I get you back up to speed, I try, along with some friends to get the preface lift engine in a facelift car running once again.

Thanks for watching! Subscribe with the bell on to see this car back to factory condition.
