what is going on guys welcome back to

the channel in today's video we are

going to be back to work on my 2023 BMW

M4 as you guys seen in the previous

episode we finally got this thing

running and driving and I got to say

that's a pretty big accomplishment

because this car was absolutely

destroyed on every corner except the

driver's side which is pretty crazy but

we're making some pretty good progress

in today's video we are going to be

focusing on getting this quarter panel

repaired I'm going to try to pull it all

out and see if we can fix it I'm not

sure if we can but it's definitely going

to test my skills and honestly it's not

too bad if you look in the back it is

pushed in right here but most of the

impact is right here I think he did

actually hit a telephone pull that's

what I seen in the picture I mean all

the gaps look really good like this top

Gap is pretty much perfect this Gap over

here is pretty much perfect that

basically means that the entire rear of

the car did not shift over usually the

gaps will tell you everything you need

to know basically if the Gap is like

super small right here you would know

that the entire frame rails are shifted

over if it's too big B but all the gaps

here look pretty good this one is a

little bit bigger at the top but I'm

thinking once you pull this out right

here that will simply go all back into

place but man this car is is getting

there it's it's almost ready for paint

all we have to do is basically knock out

that quarter penal right there and what

say this entire front end we are going

to be taking this car down to Florida to

a guy named Candyman and he's basically

going to paint the entire car he does a

lot of big projects like this and he

knows how to paint Matt which is a

pretty big deal cuz Matt paint is not as

simple as regular paint you can see it's

matte so if you do get like some dirt or

trash in your paint job you really can't

buff it at all cuz as soon as you buff

matte paint it just turns shiny and you

basically ruin the paint whenever you

start buffing it so you got to have a

really good paint booth and you got to

be really professional at painting it

and honestly I don't really want to risk

painting it myself or having my brother

paint it cuz he's never painted matte

and nobody else here has painted matte

before and it's a huge job in this

material is expensive I think the clear

coat alone is like like 1,00 bucks 2,000

bucks just for matte clear coat which is

pretty crazy and I definitely don't want

to be spinning that twice so first thing

we need to do is I think we're going to

disassemble this rear left side

basically take off the rest of this tail

light you can see it's just broken up

there probably take off that plastic get

that off right there also we can go

ahead and remove the fender liner and

then inside I think we can probably get

some access inside here if we pull off

this side cover 100% can so we'll pull

that off and see what kind of access we

can get into there and we do actually

have a new piece check this out right

here bam we have a whole new side pocket

right there which is going to be really

nice cuz we can just replace that one

and get everything back into the correct

position so I say let's get straight to

work let's pop this wheel off right here

get it up on the jack stand start

stripping it

[Music]

down

[Music]

so check it out we got the entire

quarter panel all nice and stripped down

and honestly I got to say it doesn't

look as bad as it did when all the

damage parts were still on here

basically we had a little bit of a tear

right here and it popped all these spot

welds off off look at that right there

didn't really rip too much of the

material which I'm super happy about

that and everything seems to be

relatively flat there's no like too big

of uh creases going on here then if we

go up to the top everything over here

looks perfect there's no damage anywhere

by the tail light pocket which is nice

and then check it out inside right here

there's these amplifiers I think or like

I don't know what these are a couple of

computer modules which I'm just happy

that none of them got damaged it simply

just pushed them all out of the way and

check it out there's so much room in

here basically just to push everything

everything out perfectly obviously we

have a new pan right there so we can

just replace that pretty simple but I

think what we're going to do is start

doing some slight pulls on it or I guess

we just start pushing it out I'm not

sure how we're going to do it right now

if I had a frame machine this job would

be super easy but unfortunately we don't

have a frame machine which I'm hoping to

get one probably this year I just don't

really do too much frame jobs anymore

which I kind of want to get back into it

let me know down below should I get a

frame machine and start doing more frame

jobs I think you guys would love that a

lot but anyways I'm going to go ahead

and get set up and start thinking on how

to pull this panel out so let's get

straight to it and I think we're just

going to grab a hammer and a piece of

wood and just go straight to town on it

and see if we can get this quarter panel

pulled out

[Music]

properly

[Music]

[Music]

n

[Music]

so check it out we got the entire

quarter panel nice and pushed on I got

to say it is coming out nicely I mean

it's almost there there's going to be a

lot more work I'm kind of doing all the

hammer and Dolly work before we actually

pull out my maxi Dent po I want to get

everything almost into the correct

position before we start doing any of

the actual finalizing touches with the

polar and now what we need to do is

remove this plate completely as you can

see this actually slides all the way up

in there and I've already cut most of it

off because I wanted to get some of the

tension off of it and basically just

going to replace this entire piece right

here and I think we'll be able to

straighten all this out perfectly get

everything welded up and there's a lot

of AIS back here so we can actually

Dolly this out perfectly make sure

there's only a super thin layer of Bondo

on this car and yeah that should be good

but now what we're going to do is

actually go ahead and finally remove

this entire piece right here there's a

couple of spot Wells down here here

couple of spot welds up here and get

everything removed and then we can

continue moving on and then finish this

up right here then we'll get the Maxi

out straighten it all out dude and this

quarter pound will be

[Music]

complete

[Music]

n

[Music]

a

[Music]

w

[Music]

he

so check it out we got the quarter panel

pushed out as far as possible now it's

time to go to the next stage which is

we're going to need to grind off all the

paint off this quarter panel and we're

actually going to weld a couple of pens

on here with our Maxi Dent fix equipment

this thing is an absolute Beast whether

you're pulling stuff out whether you're

shrinking stuff it basically does

everything if you don't own one of these

and you do body work you are seriously

missing out so basically what we need to

do right now is sand down all this paint

right here basically to bare metal so we

can start preparing it to weld some pens

on I mean that's pretty much the only

area that doesn't really want to come

out right there so we're definitely have

to work this area out and get this body

line perfect the damage area is really

not that much I mean there's just going

to be a little bit of filler like that

just a super thin layer not nothing too

crazy I think there's a slight Dent up

here but honestly you can just pop that

out from the bottom but anyways let's go

ahead and get started on this quarter

panel let's start standing down this

entire quarter pound to bare

[Music]

metal

[Music]

[Music]

a

[Music]

he

[Music]

he

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so check we finally got done pulling the

entire quarter panel on I got to say it

turned out pretty freaking good we did

have to do a little bit of welding down

there still not 100% done as you can see

it still needs a little bit more

grinding and a little bit more welding

but what I want to do right now is

actually test fit the new rear bumper

put the tail light on and kind of see if

everything is lining up cuz I haven't

done that yet and this quarter panel was

pretty pushed in but I mean look at that

it pulled out pretty good it's almost in

the correct spot everything is looking

good it's definitely going to need a lot

more work but I think once we put the

bumper on we start getting a better idea

of how everything's pulling out we have

a new bumper right here check it out

brand new from the dealer in this little

box right here and then we have our new

bumper brackets in the big box we have a

bumper bracket for this side and then we

have a bumper bracket for this side over

here because this one is a little bit

broken I also had to get new sensors I

got one for this side and then one for

the passenger side but let's go ahead

and unbox this bumper and also get the

brackets and we can just go ahead and

start installing everything onto the car

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so I went ahead and put the new bracket

the tail light and the rear bumper on

and I got to say it is not looking good

at all as you can see right here it just

does not want to line up well I mean

obviously I could adjust the Brack it up

a little bit but it turns out right here

the metal was too thin and I was trying

to adjust it out a little bit more and

it just started cracking I guess I

sanded down too much of the quarter

panel so we are going to have to

probably replace this quarter panel

which I did not want to do but honestly

it probably is going to be for the best

and I'm going to say I kind of failed on

this quarter panel maybe if I would have

took more time or put it on a frame

machine I could have pulled it out but

honestly a new quarter panel is going to

be so much better we're not going to

have to do any filler work right here

and the Tail's going to sit properly the

rear bumper is going to sit properly but

honestly it looks pretty cool we got the

bumper on there you know the cars coming

together now we have all the body panels

on the car the only thing we are missing

is just a couple of plastic pieces so I

mean we're making a little bit of

progress on there I'm kind of bummed out

about that quarter panel which it's not

the worst cuz I knew in the back of my

head I'm probably going to have to

replace this thing either way maybe I

could have just filled it in with a

little bit of body filler but this is a

BMW M4 2023 these things I could

probably sell this thing for like 75

maybe 65,000 60,000 and I really don't

want to be doing this much body filler

on this car but it is kind of

unfortunate so we are going to head down

to the dealer and see if we can get a

new quarter panel hopefully there's some

available in the United States cuz last

time I went to the dealer he said they

are on back order and he doesn't know

when they can get them or there's some

in Germany which is like 3 weeks

shipping which kind of sucks but it's

okay cuz I am going on vacation next

week so maybe I can order it today or

tomorrow and it'll be here when I get

back I mean it it almost came out we

were close almost there but you can see

the tail light wasn't fitting good there

I mean it just needs way more work than

I really want to put into a quarter

panel and this ain't even all of it then

we have to body fill it weld everything

up seam seal everything make sure

nothing leagues and then in the back

here let's go and pop this

up look at look what it looks like in

the back it does I mean it doesn't look

the worst first obviously you could sand

all that down and give it a nice paint

job and it look decent but honestly I'm

just I'm a little bummed out about it

but I think it's for the better what do

you guys think probably probably should

have just replaced the quarter panel in

the first place but I wanted to test my

skills and see how we could have pulled

it out I mean we got pretty close I got

to say if that metal right there wasn't

too thin and we could have just pulled

this side out pulled that up a little

bit adjusted it I think it would have

been good I definitely don't want to

butcher this car obviously it's a super

nice car but I mean it won't be too hard

all we have to do is take out this rear

window take out this side window right

here and I think BMW has a pretty cool

procedure where you don't even weld the

quarter panel on all we're going to do

is splice it in right here with a panel

Bond and some special type of uh it's

like bolts that bolt in definitely have

to do a little bit more research in

there but unfortunately we are going to

have to go inside here and we're going

to get rid of all these stickers right

here which is going to kind of suck but

I think you can buy all these stick

stickers brand new probably get that

sticker right there from the BMW

dealership just to make sure everything

looks Factory that's going to be

definitely more work than I

imagine all righty guys we are pulling

up to BMW of Chattanooga let's see if

they have this quarter

panel in here real

quick I want to know if I can buy that

big old BMW logo right there slap it up

in the shop let's go in here and talk to

the general

manager not a lot of BMWs over here

one of those

x3s y those actually look pretty cool I

think those are the new

m24s dang those are freaking sick they

look pretty

cool got every color you could possibly

want

here check it out they have two g80s

over here oh that's a g82 and then a G8

G80 that's pretty

cool just park right here

check this thing out it's pretty

sick it's got to be one of the coolest

BMWs ever

made Dam with those

wheels that is freaking

[Music]

awesome

XM

[Music]

D this is almost the same spec as mine

doesn't have the laser headlights

though dang look at this

interior it's pretty cool in 2024 they

put the big screen here it goes all the

way

over man this thing is a beauty

see what they want for this

car

$93,000 I'm pretty sure mine was higher

than that cuz this doesn't have the full

weather package or the laser headlights

but I do love the

black got the i7 over here these grills

are

crazy

I did just talk to them over there

they're going to get the quarter panel

set up I think it's like

$1,200 PR sweet cars

here that's a lot of stuff needed to

replace the quarter panel

yeah so we just got out of the BMW

dealership and look at this right here

this is all the stuff we're going to

need to replace that quarter panel so we

have like some reinforcements 1,400

bucks is not bad for an entire quarter

panel the only bad thing is we are going

to have to wait 3 to 6 weeks for this

quarter panel there's none in the United

States and it's going to have to come

straight from Germany and it turns out

they're going to have to put it on a

container ship and ship it over here

that way which is fine I guess we'll

have to work on something else in the

future but anyways let's head back to

the shop so guys we are back at the shop

and we got everything ordered over there

at the dealership and I got to say it

does kind of suck that the quarter panel

is on a back order it's going to take

about 3 weeks to get here so hopefully

maybe it comes in there sooner but we

did also order a lot of other stuff to

get this quarter panel welded on here

properly we're going to use some body

adhesive from BMW I'm pretty sure they

just glue on you don't weld these new

recorder panels they just have like

rivets and you rivet it on and you're

not going to have to weld anything which

is going to be nice but yeah sucks that

we couldn't fix this quarter panel I was

hoping we could but it's just too much

damage and there's a lot more damage in

the back right there so once we pull

this quarter panel off it'll be a lot

easier to get to we almost made it there

but I mean sometimes you just got to

give up and get a new quarter panel and

just reset which I think is going to be

the better option cuz I am planning on

keeping this car for quite some time and

I definitely would not want any of that

to crack and the fact that there's there

would need to be so much filler right

here and then like right here I and

maybe we could have pulled that out a

little bit more but everything's kind of

mangled up there and you'll never get

that tail light pocket fitting perfectly

and I really just I'm I'm just going to

change it you know there's nothing else

left to say I mean we got close but

unfortunately we couldn't save it but

that's all good once we get the new

quarter panel in we can just go ahead

and replace it glue it on and it'll be

100% like OEM in the meantime we can

definitely start taking the car apart

take the rear windows out and fix the

other body workor on that side but I am

actually going to take a little vacation

to Florida uh just get my mind off

things and that'll be like one week so

that'll be one week down we got two more

weeks to go and then that P will be in

here and we'll get this thing rebuilt

100% professionally but if youall
