I don't know if I clearly recall any module failures, replacement, repair, coding, programming etc. For example his e39 m5 has a light module that likes to die ;)
The trick is to only own one BMW... as a second car haha. Enter my latest purchase a 2000 Z3 2.8i manual... I may have got the cheapest running (ehh) no rust one in the US.
My 2000 M5 jammed in 2nd gear as well. I decided to completely disassemble it and found nothing broken except a jammed fork. After reassembly trans was working fine. Also worth noting that this has happened to quite a few M5s and usually after an aggressive shift.
I had this same issue except I was stuck in 5th and it was after an aggressive shift. Just ended up replacing the whole gearbox since I had 3rd gear grind anyways.
@@Asserti Google search should help you out. You don’t need to separate the gears themselves, just separate the case starting with removing indent balls on the shift forks and unbolting stuff from there. As always, clean area and meticulous notes on where things go during disassembly will help you tremendously during reassembly. Would love to help out more but this happened around 2011 and I sold the car in 2015..
WOW the carbon fiber did add more beasty/monstrous sound hahaha, only one thing i noticed that the V10 badge was jumping off the carbon intake at 30:10 😅 other than this you're best man, i never miss one of your videos and Merry Christmas🎉❤
*18:50* They must have charged you extra on that wheel since they used half the shops weights :)) It's for winter so who cares, but you seem like the type of guy that remounts a tyre until it perfectly matched the wheel. Happy Holidays my man!
I will have an E60 M5, maybe not only one, I WILL, MARK MY WORDS. What and absolute jewel of a car, it's my dream car since childhood, since 2007-2010. Thank you for letting us enjoy this beast too, trough your clips, WE LOVE IT!
bro you are not the only one. Ever since I was a child I just loved looking at my uncle‘s e60 when we drove to my aunt. He always drove in front of our car and I just loved it. I think that is the reason why the e60 M5 is somewhat special to me. It sound childish but I also dream of getting a M5 in the future. Hope that you at least will buy one which wasn‘t abused by some idiot 😂
@@eec9610 thanks! Hopefully we will both fulfill our dreams, they are completely reachable. Even if I'll get one that has been abused, after watching project Raleigh I will be able to restore it, that is the plan: get one in whatever state it is (abused or not) and work on every single bolt to get it to mechanical perfection.
I have one, it’s ok. The best thing about it is the engine. Nothing like the the v10 singing on downshifts and upshifts. It always feels akward that the sound is coming from a 4 door sedan.
Back to back episodes? I must have been good this year. Santa (Streten) has delivered two glorious gifts. Also, I can't get enough of the Mutzi cameos.
I have the same Problems. I try to keep my E 46 of the road but after 300.000km and 24 Years ( yeah its the Pre-Facelift) its more difficult because there breaks every month something. Actual there are breaking expensive sensor´s... i drove some newer BMW´s but i dont like them because they are quite heavy and "big" in comparission to my E 46. My E 46 is not fast, has no tuning, but i like it. Dont know why, cause most of the time something gone bad and has to be replaced.... I can image the fight to keep an E 38 on the road. The times here in Germany will be a lot harder than the past years. Everthing gotten so expensive like Fuel, Car insurancy and the list goes on. In the End i will try to find a cheap second car, so my E 46 can chill a bit. Cheers! P.s which E 38- Version do you have?
@@GamersSide4you 1999 M62TU. Spent 13k on repairs the last 6 years including VANOS rebuild, timing chain and complete suspension overhaul but there is always something new that has be replaced.
Sadly, I can relate to that. 1997 740i, I feel like this is a never ending cycle of a month of repairs and a week of joy. Starting to lose my motivation to keep this thing. I feel like everybody else is just driving their cars and enjoying them meanwhile I'm always worried that something is going to break while just cruising somewhere and not pushing the car.
It’s Boxing Day here in New Zealand and I was just relaxing after too much excess yesterday, so what a lovely surprise with Mitzy taking a starring role 😊 I’m still puzzled why I love watching you fix broken BMW’s - it’s so compelling I have to watch as soon as you post a new video. I now know more about BMW pulleys and how to replace them than I ever thought I would need to know. 👍🏼
same, I love my E39 Touring, but is starting to cost money 280K on it now and it really has not cost a lot to maintain up.to now it always has had good oil (Penrite 5w40) and as its a jap import it has the dreaded JATCO trans, but changed the trans fluid every year, never had a problem. The big problem now, is what to do with it, I have a FUGA 370GT what just goes, wife has a Lexus IS350 F which runs ring around any of the modern BMW's, but the old E39 is still a good driver, but for little annoying shit, and I think they were the pinnacle of BMW engineering, which is why we have never brought a newer one after owning BMW's for 35 odd years
Such a wonderful video been watching the channel for years now and your videos never ever fail to put a smile on my face and wanting more. Major BMW enthusiast here from Michigan in the USA sending my love… too the best RUclips channel on the internet!!
Good info in there, ordering parts now for preventive maintenance on the E39... As for the E60, man it would look nice in Chrome Shadow - A56 color code. To my knowledge, the only car painted with this charcoal grey color was the E39 M5 from BMW classic, which actually was featured on the channel a while back. Best color I've ever seen and I'm about to repaint one of my Dolphin Grey 325is E30s with that specific color code.
Sreten, as much as you love everything about that E60M5. Nothing comes even close to the looks of your E39M5, what a stunning car that is. Simply amazed.
No sólo eso la calidad de materiales es sumamente superior en un e39 para muchos lo mejor en serie 5 que a echo BMW quitando por supuesto tecnología cada mes sale algo nuevo pero no por eso es mejor por ejemplo la caja cambios de ese E60 aún siendo más moderno la automática es una porquería donde a cada cambio el retroceso se nota mucho casi un golpe y según e visto en muchísimos videos lo más importante la fiabilidad de uno a otro nada que ver

Streten, have been a big BMW fan of yours for years now. Your channel has one of the most respectable and adventurous, not along informative channels on you tube world wide. It's the reason we know your channel is so very successful. We have a passion for the BMW mark now for many years. And your knowledge has helped us a great deal. But more than anything the patience to deal with the small and big problems when they come up. Especially the more expensive fixes like N54s or any V8, or stright 6 turbo from BMW. It's an art to see the dedication to perfect the things most owners would like to perform on our BMWs. Just to let you know you have a big fan base of BMW family's and enthusiasts in many parts of the world. Thank you Sr.
My E39 M5 is about 140,000 miles was glad to see your engine is still running strong even if the transmission has an issue. I have noticed the popping out of third gear once or twice in the 15 years I've had this car and never knew about the arrestor balls that cause this issue so this video definitely helped me! I think I will be upgrading that even though my transmission is otherwise fine. I hope the e60 shifter didn't mess with the transmission! I upgraded my stock shifter to the UUC short shifter and I haven't had a problem in ~40,000 miles it definitely improved the shifting experience - those plastic balls on the stock shifters literally deform and fall apart! Anyway, Merry Christmas!! Looking forward to more E39 M5 content! Hope you get both these beautiful machines up and running soon!
Good day Sreten! I'm from the Philippines and I just discovered your channel recently and I love your content. I'm learning a lot especially I'm a mechanical engineer. I can totally relate to your technicality with regards to your work. I'm now subscribing to your channel and looking forward to your upcoming contents. Much love and more power to your channel.
I love how Project Raleigh was a trashed beater when you first got it. You've now built it back into it's glory. Hate it when such a tiny part can create such havoc.
I had the pleasure of being a passenger in an e60 m5 once, the engine and exhaust noise gave me goose bumps. It’s absolutely the best sounding engine in any car ever, if only my pockets were big enough to have one. For the E46 rev matching you need to do an ICV delete and a tune to follow, which makes it easy.
When he said while removing tensioners " i think you know what we have to do here" i was beging for him to clean them up with that jet. Oh god. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this mighty V10 induction, fly by and Autobahn sounds. Gave me ghostbumps and emotions just by watching your video. Hoping to get in this position, someday 😬 PS: looking forward on the video when you install the carbon box and different filters.
Welcome to the CF club, it was just matter of time that you found the proper representation. It's just a wonderfully acoustic material when manufactured properly. OEM quality with just that little extra.
That's a relief! Last video when you told us that the e39 m5 was broken ... depressing! But now, everything is fixed again - and a video out at Christmas: You are the King of repaired BMW's! :-)
What makes the world great today is that I can get entertainment out of your passion, you can make a living, teach others, and live your best life. Happy New Year! I think in the old days they would call that art! You're an artist!
I was very intrigued to know how the engine badges had been broken, until the min. 22. The new carbon fiber intake is beautiful! I congratulate you on the improvement but the new badges are going to fly away soon too!😅
Regarding windshield wipers, I only use the BMW original ones - my experience is that they last so much better than any aftermarket ones - tried a bunch of brands but the last ones from BMW were still in good condition after 4 years and 80000 kms, no sqeak and they still wiped off the rain as they should.👌
OMG this V10 sound really never gets old😊 Amazing! Thanks for the experience Sreten! The only problem is that now the prices going up due to your presentation haha 😂
A good tip for bleeding ps fluid. When you go to start the car for the first time, start it for a few seconds and turn it off, add a little more fluid, and then replete until you fluid level no longer drops. This way you prevent air gettin sucked into the system and causing the whining noise and making your fluid bubble.
Hi Sreten - our buddy Adam Bajrak gave me a great tip about bleeding the power steering fluid circuit. Don't start the engine. Fill the reservoir and unlock the steering column with the key and turn it lock to lock a couple of times and it will get most of the air out of an otherwise drained system. You probably need to top up the reservoir a couple of times while doing this with the engine off. This saves the pump from cavitating on startup. Love the channel! Pete from Mt. Airy MD
I‘m a technician: try this: before you start the engine just lift the car from the ground an turn the whel from lock to lock 30 times and ad oil if necessery. Then start the engine and do the procedure again an keep an eye on the fluid level. Works ever time!😊
I do the same on my E61 and Z3. Engine off. Turn lock to lock several times until the fluid stops dropping. Running the engine too early just creates bubbles and lots of noise.
I did, and I do the same, it doesn't make a difference on the E60 and E92. It's easier to use your steering wheel since the car is already in the air. :)
Just had my thumb cut off in a dirtbike chain, so im watching all your videos from the sofa waiting for the damn thing too heal up. Big thanks for all your work Sir 👌👌
Because of the temperature difference during the winter your engine bay will be constantly wet. This sound insulation allow the temperature to escape slowly and oder than sound proofing that is its second job. Once removing it there will be a lot of condensation. :)
Thank you! I don't see that being a problem, I haven't noticed anything different. The M3 doesn't come with one from the factory and I haven't heard of condensation being an issue.
on pump bleeds it can be very helpful to elevate the front end of the car a couple feet encouraging bubbles to travel to the high point in the system. also the wheel should be turned slowly lock to lock several times before starting car. then after starting let it idle until fluid temp can increase before turning wheel. hope that helps
50/50 ATF and MTF mix: the ATF allows for smooth shifting when the car is cold and MTF offers protection, superior protection when pushing the car to the lift 🤣 Great job Sreten, that microfiber intake sounds godlike!
I was so cloae to rolling the dice and buying a V10 M5 but here in Australia they are all SMG :( and watching you drive yours confirms that manual is always the way to go, ALWAYS. Your channel is my favourite content to watch by far so I am even tempted to support your advertisers maybe starting with an intake for my GR Yaris.
Sreten I had to stop watching your vids months ago bc it reminded me of all the work I need to do on my car, but couldn't afford to do...hopefully in the new year my raise will allow me to get it running closer to Sreten standards 🤞
I usually go lock to lock before turning the car on, get some fluid into the rack. It has helped with the frothing and cuts down on a lot of the whining.
Gotta love the E60... I have always had a weak spot for it. Only thing I'd change on your car is the wood trim. I Have always preferred aluminium or black gloss... especially with cars from this era wood can look a bit cheap imo. I remember when I was a kid we were in traffic (stau) on the Autobahn, an E90 M3 and an E60 M5 with Eissenman exhaust stood still, next to each other and waited for a little while. They were holding up everyone who was behind them for a couple of minutes untill they had a couple of hundred meters clear road. One guy had is hand out the window counting down and then they drag raced... I opened up my window to hear the exhausts. For me as a kid it was such a cool experience, especially the V10 noise

This man embodies the spirit that //M used to represent - Thanks for all you do Sreten!
Didn't expect one more video this year. Lovely! BTW, with Eventuri microfiber air intakes it sounds even better 🙈
When he said while removing tensioners " i think you know what we have to do here" i was beging for him to clean them up with that jet. Oh god. Thank you.
GREATEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT! Doesnt get better than this. Happy holidays Sreten 😀
Love this. Too many channels restore the cars once and never see updates and repairs on them again.
Love your channel. Great content edited to deliver quickly without losing detail. The perfect balance.
BOOM!! 500.000 subs! Congratulations bro! you deserve all the success thats coming your way :D
Thank you for sharing this mighty V10 induction, fly by and Autobahn sounds. Gave me ghostbumps and emotions just by watching your video. Hoping to get in this position, someday 😬
PS: looking forward on the video when you install the carbon box and different filters.
Welcome to the CF club, it was just matter of time that you found the proper representation. It's just a wonderfully acoustic material when manufactured properly. OEM quality with just that little extra.
That's a relief! Last video when you told us that the e39 m5 was broken ... depressing! But now, everything is fixed again - and a video out at Christmas: You are the King of repaired BMW's! :-)
What makes the world great today is that I can get entertainment out of your passion, you can make a living, teach others, and live your best life. Happy New Year! I think in the old days they would call that art! You're an artist!
I was very intrigued to know how the engine badges had been broken, until the min. 22. The new carbon fiber intake is beautiful! I congratulate you on the improvement but the new badges are going to fly away soon too!😅
Regarding windshield wipers, I only use the BMW original ones - my experience is that they last so much better than any aftermarket ones - tried a bunch of brands but the last ones from BMW were still in good condition after 4 years and 80000 kms, no sqeak and they still wiped off the rain as they should.👌
Imagine owning 2 BMWs
Imagine owning 2 Ms
Imagine both are broken💀
It's a symphony of emotion
Well, thats BMW 🤣
Imagine having two other M that doesn't work. 😅
Poetry
oh he has more than 2…😭
when you said two broken M5, I imagined something big! But here you are! Fixing two m5 in no time!
OMG this V10 sound really never gets old😊
Amazing!
Thanks for the experience Sreten!
The only problem is that now the prices going up due to your presentation haha 😂
Wow that V10 is phenomenal. We've got some goosebumps as a Christmas gift. thank you Sreten.
As always, great content! Keep up the good work Streten. Enjoy time with family and friends, and until the next one in 2024
A good tip for bleeding ps fluid. When you go to start the car for the first time, start it for a few seconds and turn it off, add a little more fluid, and then replete until you fluid level no longer drops. This way you prevent air gettin sucked into the system and causing the whining noise and making your fluid bubble.
Sreten, you’re not helping my case against my friends with civics
Jokes aside, Merry Christmas, I hope you’re doing well!
Man Sreten, this car is a work of art. What a wonderful sound. You're videos are also a work of art. Love this.
Both my M5s broke down is a pretty special flex 😅
My favourite person on RUclips. Thanks for keeping us glued to your channel in 2023. All the best for 2024! Stay safe, my friend.
Nice to see Mutzi again. We missed her!
Fenomenale job mate . Inspired by you so i started doing all de repairs myself on my g31 540i . Will be doing the flexdisk tomorrow 😊
Beautiful microfiber intake plenum! ❤
Hi Sreten - our buddy Adam Bajrak gave me a great tip about bleeding the power steering fluid circuit.
Don't start the engine. Fill the reservoir and unlock the steering column with the key and turn it lock to lock a couple of times and it will get most of the air out of an otherwise drained system. You probably need to top up the reservoir a couple of times while doing this with the engine off. This saves the pump from cavitating on startup.
Love the channel!

Thank you. This doesn't work with the E60, I tried.
I‘m a technician: try this: before you start the engine just lift the car from the ground an turn the whel from lock to lock 30 times and ad oil if necessery. Then start the engine and do the procedure again an keep an eye on the fluid level. Works ever time!😊
I do the same on my E61 and Z3. Engine off. Turn lock to lock several times until the fluid stops dropping. Running the engine too early just creates bubbles and lots of noise.
I did, and I do the same, it doesn't make a difference on the E60 and E92. It's easier to use your steering wheel since the car is already in the air. :)
Thank you for making 2023 enjoyable to own a BMW. And have a prosperous 2024 on RUclips.
Much awaited, much appreciated looking forward to excellent work as always from you.
the atf/mtf mix made my e36's zf feel so much better, great tip! i used redline for both fluids
Congrats What a car!!! Sounds amazing 🎉
The M5-V10 and Porsche Carrera GT absolute singing engines that give ear-gasms.. Happy Holidays !
Just had my thumb cut off in a dirtbike chain, so im watching all your videos from the sofa waiting for the damn thing too heal up. Big thanks for all your work Sir 👌👌
S Tier content, a 1 in a million youtube channel, thank you Streten for always providing quality and quantity in your videos.
Because of the temperature difference during the winter your engine bay will be constantly wet. This sound insulation allow the temperature to escape slowly and oder than sound proofing that is its second job. Once removing it there will be a lot of condensation. :)
Thank you! I don't see that being a problem, I haven't noticed anything different. The M3 doesn't come with one from the factory and I haven't heard of condensation being an issue.
@@M539Restorations I'm sharing a bad experience I had. Maybe the problem was different for me. Who knows? 🤷🏼♂️
@@ТеодорПетров-у4ъ okay, good to know. I'll keep an eye out! Thank you!
Your V10 emblem is about to fly off off the plenum. That carbon fiber is really flexing a lot under WOT blips.
Living in the far north, I had a good laugh when you said the E60 chassis was very well protected against rust lmao
Well, anything made of metal will eventually rust when exposed to a lot salt abuse, but I'm yet to see an E6x that can rust as badly as e39 or e46.
Oh the SOUND The Sound. Always wanted a song that I would never tire of and I'm not talking music . Your right foot plays it.
you should get that microfibre intake for v10 too probably would sound as amazing
god damn haha
CARBONfiber for god sake! It’s not "microfiber" 🙄
@@DavidStutzmann You don't know what you're talking about. Carbonfiber is towel material.
ffs, do you not watch the videos?
It already has it
@@SolarAB
on pump bleeds it can be very helpful to elevate the front end of the car a couple feet encouraging bubbles to travel to the high point in the system. also the wheel should be turned slowly lock to lock several times before starting car. then after starting let it idle until fluid temp can increase before turning wheel. hope that helps
50/50 ATF and MTF mix: the ATF allows for smooth shifting when the car is cold and MTF offers protection, superior protection when pushing the car to the lift 🤣
Great job Sreten, that microfiber intake sounds godlike!
I was so cloae to rolling the dice and buying a V10 M5 but here in Australia they are all SMG :( and watching you drive yours confirms that manual is always the way to go, ALWAYS. Your channel is my favourite content to watch by far so I am even tempted to support your advertisers maybe starting with an intake for my GR Yaris.
Sreten I had to stop watching your vids months ago bc it reminded me of all the work I need to do on my car, but couldn't afford to do...hopefully in the new year my raise will allow me to get it running closer to Sreten standards 🤞
That V10 is a magnificent thing, I'm so glad I've lived in the glory days of the internal combustion engine
I usually go lock to lock before turning the car on, get some fluid into the rack. It has helped with the frothing and cuts down on a lot of the whining.
E39 with S85 would probably be the best m5 combo. Pre-lci f90 is up there, but it’s the shape of the E39 that I love the most.
Dear lord, shivers down my spine. I've never wanted an E60 M5 so bad! Great video as usual
I'm a V8 guy, but damn that V10 sounds wicked on those fly-bys!!! 👍
never seen a man this happy...v10 power is really something else💪💪
Gotta love the E60... I have always had a weak spot for it. Only thing I'd change on your car is the wood trim. I Have always preferred aluminium or black gloss... especially with cars from this era wood can look a bit cheap imo.
I remember when I was a kid we were in traffic (stau) on the Autobahn, an E90 M3 and an E60 M5 with Eissenman exhaust stood still, next to each other and waited for a little while. They were holding up everyone who was behind them for a couple of minutes untill they had a couple of hundred meters clear road. One guy had is hand out the window counting down and then they drag raced... I opened up my window to hear the exhausts. For me as a kid it was such a cool experience, especially the V10 noise
Good to hear you're going to repaint Project Raleigh! 👍🏻
the symphony coming from the v10 on the flyby ......good grief , best thing I've ever heard ! just WOW
