Everyone should learn at least some basic car repair skills. The easy way to buy a cheap car, or a car that you couldn’t otherwise afford.
If you have the space, and working arms, there isn’t much excuse in this day and age to not do basic car maintenance.

Wish I watched this video 2 years ago when i just bought my e46
Great points! Heavy emphasize on using the internet. My E46 has been my introduction into car maintenance and cars in general and I would have been completely lost if it weren't for the great community surrounding E46s. The forums have a wealth of information that are often untapped.
EYE PROTECTION!!! YES! You did mention it. It is so very underrated. Get some comfortable safety glasses and just always use them while working on your car. Imagine being blind always vs wearing safety glasses while you do repairs. Cheers!
I love being patronised by a hipster when looking for advice.
very good advice. a practical approach. thanks.
You took everything out of my mouth with those frustrating stripped and rusted screws, I have once wanted to throw the car off a cliff. You are such a cool guy, I feel gay lol!
E46 are a great car if you just invest your extra time and money in getting tools and be a man enough to get under the hood or under the car to do those dirty work. I wish I knew earlier. It took me 8 years and thousands of $ before I started doing my own maintenance. I don't regret any bit since I got my first toolbox, then jacks and wrenches. Now, my garage looks like a mech workshop. There is literally no part visible to human eye that I don't know how to locate in that car 6 months after. Of course there are jobs I wouldn't try doing by myself because it's just impossible alone and in a tight garage like mine. Thanks and keep the good work up.
How quickly do you recommend I buy a jack?
Great video. I'm Really surprised you said what you did about the 9-3 being difficult to find information online. I have a 9-5 and every time I search something to do with my 9-5 I end up in a 9-3 thread!
Really great video with loads of kick-ass tips. Been doing my own maintenance for last ten years. I've saved thousands plus have some nice tools (I do need to get a proper jack and stop mucking about with the scissor one) I'm planning on keeping my 2006 Toyota for another 10 years.
