That's one clean V12 right there.
V12 bromance🤣
To think you'd watch these videos too
Super clean. This is someone who loves these cars.
And did you see how he assembled the radiator fan ? way way more smoother than you assembling yours complaining from the tools 😄
@@enra72 right lol. Commenting on each others videos ♥️
I love how Sreten makes this looks sooo easy. Make no mistake, there's a shit ton of work done here, multiple hours through multiple days and a lot of frustration. I once replaced my spark plugs on my motorcycle and had a Britney Spears breakdown that I'm still recovering from.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did you shave your head 😂
@@jasonmaddox8913 nope. Wasn't too far tho...
Especially all the research before even starting
Hahahahhaah, same here!
Man, I'd love to own a beautiful car restored by you or by someone who is just as meticulous as you are (pretty sure there is no one besides you though). Warms my heart to see this E32 being restored, absolutely adore your channel Sreten. Thank you!
Every single person who loves Cars wants that! ,😁🙏❤️
What an absolute beast this guy is. The GOAT of BMW restorations.
Cheers!
I hear you .. I'm Irish though .. and we're not allowed have nice things here .. also we drive on the WRONG side of the road (not our fault) ..
There's plenty, don't worry.
Maybe you haven't gone around the world enough.
Never stop doing this Sreten. I have never seen someone so passionate about doing something they love, and in doing so attracts so much empathy, even from non car enthusiasts. A car restored by you will be priceless.
Thought we'd be waiting a few months for part 8. You are an absolute legend Sir, god knows how you have time to edit this so perfectly let alone doing all your incredible work. BMW should give you a gold medal. Here's one from me 🥇 🤣
Thank you!!
With all the fantastic work and coverage BMW should give you a key to their parts stores and say HELP YOUR SELF. As you are just proving that old BMW cars can be brought back to life it’s just a shame some people charge the earth for parts. Great videos keep putting them out
Hel yeee
That has to be the smoothest and most refined engine I've ever heard. So quiet and silky smooth, it's just heavenly.
Well said, sir.
This channel along with Vice Grip Garage are my favorites on RUclips, and have been for over a year. I watch your entire videos with zero skips unlike most other car repair You Tubers your videos do not drag on, you show a process in great detail, then if it's repetitive you do nice short edits to move onto the next steps. What a great channel! Love the finish on the parts out of the blasting cabinet, totally awesome machine!
Thank you!
kind of same humor too
That's waaay too clean for a going to town rig...
I, too, am a huge fan of Sreten & Derek; but they couldn't be more dissimilar, right?! 🙂 Derek: "We'll just pretend we didn't see that" and drives death traps on the road; swear the man gives me a nervous fit every now on then. Sreten: fixes everything like new, to almost obsessive detail ("I'm not going to go crazy with the engine bay"... proceeds to do just that) and rarely, if ever, drives a car in death trap mode. And yet I wouldn't change a single thing about either of them! 😀
@@TheFastgeek I like 40ºC summer days, and I like -20ºC winter nights, each their own way. Sometimes the contrast is good. Both Sreten and Derek are amazing working on cars, their way of doing it is just very different from each other.
I love Sreten's attitude to go as far as he feels he needs to get a car to its worthy state, all the technical stuff, the editing... I love Derek's laid back "get it done", and I have learned so many great words from him. I don't think I'll revert from saying things like sparkulators, lightning hoses, electrodigicals... _I don't know_ ... It just sounds better!
Wouldn't change a thing about their channels either!
Next level mechanical skills aside for a brief moment, you’re presenting this highly technical topic in I’m assuming your second language and editing your videos like a pro. Mad, mad respect for you sir.
I realize vehicles are inanimate objects but I can't help imagining the gratitude they would express to you in reviving them to what they were created for. Love your humor, your step by step explanations and bow humbly before you for the time and energy you put into these videos. You Sir are a craftsman inspiring others which is the true meaning of success.
I am sure that car will express its gratitude in its own unique fashion - with a silky smooth acceleration blast on the road.
I can't quite believe that in 13 days, it will be two years since this last episode. Man, time flies so fast. Hopefully there will be more content on this magnificent turd soon!
The vapour blasting has taken it to the next level.
Every man should have one of these. Can you imagine it, you'd be taking stuff off of other peoples cars just to clean them and use that brilliant machine. Even the wheelbarrow would get a yearly cleaning.
Found this channel after my friend crashed my E46 Touring and I was searching for repair videos to help learn more about my first German car. After watching the whole of Project Cologne and a whole lot of other videos on E46's the car is back on the road and better than ever. This is the only channel I have carried on watching though. Already looking for the next project, E39 next. Thanks for the inspiration Sreten. Keep up the good work.
You just know when a BMW has had the full M539 Restoration treatment; everything about the car just looks, feels and sounds OEM fresh.
"Ne čuje se..... a radi..."
Svaka čast! 👍
No stupid intros and dumb empty taltking. Straight to the action. Love it.
Imagine his dating style!
OK babe have a sammich and now let's get ya into the aqua blasting cabinet and then we'll throw the smell o meter on the nether regions! If everything is within tolerance, we can head to my freshly resealed bedroom!
@@spencermaiers8322 LOL 🤣🤣🤣
You sure do know your way around a BMW. I’m impressed !!
1:14 The car got so excited that couldn't contain itself 😂🥒
Who doesn't like getting a good sucking?!
bro thats hilarious didnt even notice that.
Hahaha 🤣
😁🤣🤣
Amazing catch, lolllllllllllllll!
Would love to see this car make a return.
Starting up an M70 V12 always gives me the chills. Excellent job Sreten! Fabulous machine.
Yep.. Hats off > full respect on this 7 series.. making a 35 year old car working like a brand spanking new must be so satisfying & awesome !!! The before & after + coin test and cold starts speak for itself of this job well done !!! impressive work, so if he keep it is great but if he sold it the future owner will be a very lucky man with such good working 7 series..
As a 30 year owner of a '91 E32, I cannot wait to see how you deal with the hydropneumatic rear leveling system (LAD) as you deal with the back end!. I hope you spend extran time on that part of the project! I had to take my 750iL off the road 10 years ago because Pentosin 7.1 at $13.00 (US) per quart was getting too expensive to make a trip into town! I would pour a new can into the front reservoir, and it would pour out the rear shocks as fast as I poured it in! 😭 I wouldn't have a clue what Pentosin cost today! Looking forward to that episode of Project Karlsruhe!
This really was a different era of BMW engineering. That V12 absolutely purrs… no loud DI stuff, no hybrid drive, no crazy emissions equipment… just solid build quality and ingenuity. Cheers to this one, fantastic job 🤙🏻
You forgot no MOST loop and 60 computers ganging up on you.
And not so many plastic parts
You are a credit to your profession mate, your videos are second to none. It's a privilege to watch you working. It's a good job your not my neighbour because I'd be knocking on your door every day to look at my X5. Thank you.
That coin trick always makes me so happy to own four M70s.
Currently building an M70 table.
That's when you know you have a perfectly balanced engine humming and purring along with each stab of the accelerator.
I don't normally comment on my subscribed channels but, I really enjoy your channel and work. Truly superb. Great sense of humour. Almost like you've spent time in England with your comments.
What a beautiful episode. This is a proper BMW from the time when BMWs used rubber and metal components in their engine bays, and BMWs stood out. Those intake runners look amazing!
Probably the best channel on RUclips right now ! Watched you for a long time now and your attention to detail is amazing! BMW should be very proud of you mate
I’m a professional auto mechanic in the US. Love your stuff! You the man
This brings so much memories of working on these cars at the dealer , would love to see an E23 745i Turbo brought back to its glory days
YESSSS! My boring afternoon at work suddenly got a whole lot brighter 😃
yes!! same thing!!!!
Same here! 😄
Same’
I had just finished my engineering class and got a smile on my face when I saw the notification of a new video; it sure made my day that much more enjoyable.
thank you for taking my wife and i on this journey. i used to own a1984 7 series back in the nineties. still the best car i ever had
Fantastican posao, uzivanje je gledati svaki video. Tolika posvecenost detaljima da sam ja odusevljen. Ovako nesto bi ja voleo da uradim na makar jednom BMWu u zivotu.
Svaka cast Sretene, samo napred 👏
I love how it says what needs your attention at the bottom of the cluster. Nebellicht hint... Seems like such a classic touch.
I’m running out of compliments. Perfect job done! Genius! 😍
Patiently waiting for part 9.....
Crazy how long he’s taking. I think he sold the car
There is an update from June 2023 in the "Project Valencia P1" video, 30:16 to 31:10
It's still leaking oil onto the piston heads (the same blue smoke issue) which Sreten thinks is the Valve Stem Guides needing replacement. He's decided to do a full engine drop & overhaul at the same time he replaces them. But it's the same engine as Project Marseille, so he's going to finish that first.
The car has been seen parked inside the dojo in other videos. Its just fallen behind on the list and waiting for its turn.
That engine looks factory fresh, watching this I feel like I’m at a BMW dealer in the 80’s and I’m checking the brand spanking new engine in the latest 750iL!!
I have 88 750il not started in 20!years. will have key from BMW in about a week. thanks for sharing the way to good times.
Sounds and looks amazing! Please clean the top of the oil filter housing :)
Edit: I should've known better :)
Sreten. You're the master of the BMW V12. Absolutely awesome job you're doing on Project Karlsruhe. One of my favourite 7 series. I'm also in awe as to how well that engine bay has cleaned up & how well that V12 runs. Awesome job!
Perfect afternoon, coffee and m539 restorations
I thought having my blast cabinet produced a good result, but that vapour blaster is incredible! It was also really good seeing the exhaust free from blue smoke - makes the hard work changing valve seals worth it! 😀
Excellent as always! Those v12's are truly the best engines BMW has ever made.
So much knowledge and experience in a bright young person. Bravo.
One of the smoothest engines so far. It looks and sounds magnificent. Great work as always.
Sreten steps up to bat... It's a curve ball, Sreten swings! It's going, going, gone! Sreten has knocked another one out of the park! There is no stopping this guy!
Well done, that vapour blasting machine is making your work look as good as it should.
Loctite 515 is also super useful on gaskets and sealing surfaces, without the drawbacks of silicone RTV. Good save with the oil pump!
515 is for metal surfaces, the gaskets here were rubber.
Why can't I like this video twice? Brilliant work Sreten. As a BMW enthusiast, I thank you for saving these gems.
If this were a 40-minute video of nothing but wet-blasting, I would _still_ watch it... it's mesmerizing😊.
I love what you do, you clearly have a passion and you inspire many of us, Im dying to restore and fix my E46
The coin on the engine never moved while revving the engine is impressive, bringing back the car the way it was when new ,reminds me of when I was kid watching the review of this car when the first v12 bmw was launched back in 87 they show a champagne glass not moving when engine is running. Excellent workmanship as always .Keep em coming I’m loving this show as always.
Going through a really rough time in my life with cancer, but your videos always cheer me up.
Been subscribed since the first video👌
Keep up the nice work😊
Stay strong Stefan!! 💪
Stay strong. I've had cancer 2 times. So just have to deal with the side effects from chemotherapy and radiation as well as medication.
@@aBc-123-XyZ Yes, first I had to deal with operation, and now I’m in second round of chemotherapy. 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. And also the major side effects and also from the medication’s.
But its working, less than 1% of the cancer is left💪
Damn you it's 11pm and I have to be up at 6am and now I've to watch an episode of M539 before I go to sleep.
the E32 750Il is quitte a rare beast. Definitely worth saving
Good thing you did the smoke test after closing things up to check for leakage. 😎✌
Oh yes 🙌 perfectly working V12 and sooooo clean 😍
this is so unexpected ...!! you made it easy and clean and never seen a clean engine like this .... i realy enjoyed
I'm currently restoring a Mercedes M120 V12 and this is so inspirational. Great job as always. Muy excelente! lol :)
The coin is incredible and so is the effort you put in to that , dream come true
As always, exceptional attention to detail, patient and disciplined work, very satisfying to watch. Thank you!
So Mpressive that blaster gives amazing result cant get enough of how good the manifolds turned out WOW
The coin balancing was the pièce de résistance. Great work yet again!
If anyone from BMW watches Sreten’s videos, they probably probably had a massive smile on their face seeing that even 30+ years on, the M70 is still as silky smooth as the day it left the Dingolfing assembly plant!
It's official. You are my no 1 YT. Makes me appreciates more my E60.
I love your channel. Very thorough and detailed. I cannot wait to see how you get on with the Alpina. Keep up the great work.
Peak BMW + decades of use and neglect + Sret and his time, energy, passion, skill and OCD + Octadrone VI during a montage = goosebumps, rewinds to rewatch stuff, V12 love and job well done envy. Superb!
"2 days" ... holds up 4 fingers
"5 days" ... holds up 2 fingers
Hilarious!
I love whne people do things properly, and you do that!
Quality workmanship, exactly what this E32 deserves. Well done sir!
Beautiful engine and so smooth running. Your skills are really out of this world and thank you for sharing. If I put a coin on my 2L 4 cylinder VW engine the coin would be shaken and separated into its basic elements before being launched into orbit.
Ok. It has been decided. I want to give up my I.T career and fix neglected German cars....
I have a 32 year old J30 Nissan Maxima. One thing, i dont have the money for such restoration, but the other thing is, if i have, Nissan does not have and sell spare parts this much (close to nothing), as you have for old BMW's.
And if i would have the money and parts in some multiverse, there is no such mechanic in the world, as you are, i think.
Respekt my man, really enjoy watching your videos!
This is insane. Not only is this gentlemen willing to work on a BMW V12, he's willing to clean one as well.
He is so knowledgeable in BMW V12 engine inside-out that he could conduct a Training class for BMW Engineers with ease.......... Well done Sreten.....!! You are just GREAT........!
Engine looks so good that there is no need to put back hood on it 🙂
By a wide margin my favourite RUclips channel, no other content comes close at the moment. Thanks for all the effort you put into this, both the work on the cars as well as the editing to make it enjoyable to watch. You're a one of a kind car nut, keep doing what you do, Sreten.
That coin, sooooo satisfying!
I don't want to offend others but You are the most on details mechanic that i saw in my life . Good for You
We wish good luck 👍
Here in Saudi Arabia you become very well known among bmw owners.
We all waiting for your next video to published.
What happens with E30 is there any update?
Most importantly, you survived the accident,
thank God .
Keep up.
Best regards ,
Ali & Friends
Vapour blasting really does make OEM cast aluminium parts look better than new. Peening the cast surface into a smoother, more durable finish. The finished engine is truly something to be proud of. It looks stunning 😊
👏 this was amazing. long time fan love how far your channel has come. cant wait for Alpina B7 and future e31 content.
What an engine. What an overhaul. It's astounding what hard work, knowledge, patience, lots of patience and some cash of course can do. Beautiful.
Just came across your channel. Man am I glad I found this channel. Love your work, fantastic channel. Well done and thank you✌🏁
Now you have the pleasure of binge watching, I envy you 😉.
The best part about vapor blasting is that the glass bead blasting media tends to peen closed the surface pores of aluminum resulting in a silky smooth surface finish that doesn't even oxidize as quickly as freshly cast aluminum. If you are blasting particularly delicate aluminum castings you can also switch from a solid glass bead media to a hollow glass bead media which shatters on impact and carries less force. It isn't as good at removing surface imperfections, but it does impact the surface finish less.
I always loved the low, lean bodies of the BMWs from this generation of cars. Nowadays the shoulder line of cars is so tall and they just look bulky and cumbersome. Even this land barge of a stretched 700 series looks entirely reasonably sized due to the design ideology of the time. It's just a shame that it wasn't painted a more interesting color, but it still retains its stately elegance.
10:04 now we know what profession streten would have chosen if he had not started this channel 😂
"cuuummmming up" just took on a whole new meaning

@@imperia777 oh my god! LMFAO!!!!!
This is incredible! Can't believe i never saw this channel before! The e32 750 is a very special car
Sreten, what happened with this project, cant find any conclusion?
Yes, I’m wondering the same thing
Wow , even with the El Cheapo soda blaster the results are AMAZING
What's up with this project? What was the end of it?
Went to the back burner. Nobody knows when he will get back to it. We can only wait and enjoy other projects that have jumped ahead on the list.
0 percent bla bla bla bla, 100% quality content ! Congrats and keep up the great work ! Probably the best car restoration channel on youtube !
Ok, leaving work early....
Alpina B7 is finished and I'm keep waiting for the E32 to be completely perfect . Your work is always beautiful the best 2 projects is projects Dubai and this .
One of the best channels on youtube cant wait for the next one.
Love E32's. Used to own one. Drove for 300,000 miles. As always, you do incredible work. Your mechanical aptitude is stellar. I think you may be an alien/hybrid with increased mental clarity. Really enjoy your videos.
I have watched your videos soooo many times and have never been disappointed.
A shame that you don't work on customer's cars. I wouldn't hesitate for a second if you'd fix my E30 318i which btw is from Karlsruhe as well.
So much joy seeing the squeaky clean M70. Such an amazing engine. Thanks for the entertainment Sreten!
Sreten, you are the KING of all DIYers, car restorers, mechanics...You are a LEGEND and I am noyt exagerating...Well done! Freundlischen Grüsse aus Montreal, Kanada!
Only thing i reaaaally miss and after many videos did not find is the cost aspect of the restauration, what did everything cost, labour is always a expensive thing but without labour these videos could give a good insight for someone who would want to start these kinds of projects.
The difference lubing up you ring makes is a revelation .... 👍
Soooo glad you spotted the oil filter cap... Not that I was shouting at the video. Looks and sounds amazing.
Looking forward to the Spanish dealership video... Oh and the B7 build... Noice.
The sound of that V12 starting up is just amazing. Something that we in the UK are going to miss because of the HUGE push of electric vehicles in the next couple of years.
run
I so look forward to each and everyone of your videos. I really can’t thank you enough. I love my Highline e38 750iL and watching you has made me so much more comfortable working on my baby. I thank you for doing what you do! Thank you!!
