The video features a car enthusiast working on a 1998 BMW E36 to modify it into an off-road rally-inspired vehicle. The main focus is on fixing the e-brake by installing a hydraulic e-brake system. The process involves bypassing the ABS and traction control, running new brake lines, and ensuring proper fluid flow for effective braking.
