Here's How You Turn A Rusty E30 BMW 3-Series Into A Driveable Hot Tub

Brilliantly bonkers YouTuber and inventor Colin Furze's latest project involves turning an E30 3-series into a hot tub that still drives

As Furze points out at the beginning of this video, turning a car into a hot tub is something that’s been done many times before. But keeping the car in question driveable? That’s a little more tricky, especially when the starting point is an E30 BMW 3-series full of rusty holes.

In this first episode, Furze sets about patching up the holes, insulating the wiring, beefing up the suspension to cope with the weight of the water (expected to be anywhere from 1000-2000kg), and much more besides. By the end of this first bought of work, the car is holding water rather nicely.

We can’t wait to see the finished product!

Why not actually make a car out of it?
E30s are getting rarer every day.

p. s:sorry if any mistakes.

E30s are still common and (for the most part) cheap.

He picked the worst E30 he could find, and he also said he wanted to do this in style, hence the model choice. He even says he really likes E30s

Would be more useful filling it with blinker fluid.

2000kg?! I have severely underestimated the weight of water. I’m sure this would become one of the heavier E30s around!

Yep. A cube of water 1x1x1 metres weighs 1000kg.

I swear this dude gets high to get ideas and then gets drunk while he’s working on the project. Must be incredibly fun though XD
