- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- I bought a giant check engine light! That's right, finally Alpina on the channel. And not just any Alpina, it's the notoriously "reliable" E65 B7 with the N62 V8 engine. As you'd expect, it's quite broken and in need of TLC. Join me while we take delivery and inspect this 2-ton luxury rocket.

"What do you love about your job?"
Delivery guy: "Revving cold, broken cars into the limiter and see the owners reaction. That always gets me"
I cringed so bad at that! Glad you yelled at him. Seriously what was he thinking that’s so incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional
@@ubertalldude he was 100% jelous......
Hahahaha golden comment 😂
@@ubertalldude For real what the actual fuck? There's no way someone is that stupid he must have accidentally mashed the gas or something there? Like there no reason for him to even rev it it's not his car or anything.
@@JackRR15 My assumption was that he was trying to give the "battery some juice", not realizing that's not how things work. Still, no excuse.
Your reaction to the delivery guy revving it cold is me in a nutshell, I actually burst out laughing because I would have reacted the exact same way🤣 Even when people do it to theirs or others cars it makes me shudder.
i could not laugh, i actually felt Sretens slight panic and anger
Especially since the delivery guy has no information on the history of the car. The engine oil could have been 5 years old. There could've been a bad head gasket, with oil/water mixed. The timing chain tensioner could have been bad, causing catastrophically failure if not babied. That was really, really unprofessional. Just gets me wondering what they do when no-one is looking.
@@XerxesGustav i rather dont want to think about what they do when nobody is looking. i also wonder, what if the engine would've blown up exactly in this very moment when he revved so hard...i assume his company would have to pay?
I would've turned the car off come back out and screamed back to him a BIG FCKKKK YOUUUU . I bet this mtfkr abuses his wife when cameras are off.
@@JJMk3 Exactly, a simple HEY HEY HEYYY would have been enough but like you said JJ he is an exactly that (what u said).
Lol'd at the parking sensor at 22:20
Looking foward to this series, was a great episode!

4:20 Delivery Guy: So, you said the car has an engine problem?
M539 Restorations: Yep!
Delivery Guy: Let's see if I can make things worse for you buddy.
@@yahikovlog138 You have some nice JUNK IN THE TRUNK!....You definitely have 2 SCOOPS!!
sounded good tho
It won't make things worse, especially considering the fact that this engine apparently burns more oil than gasoline. But even if the engine was fine, it would be nothing wrong with doing that.
@@JohnDoe-h5o4j Please go rev up your cold engine everyday for a month if it lasts that long, imbecille
@@henrik1743 The fact that you proceed to insult people for no reason actually tells a bit about who is *really* an imbecile here. But the thing is that I've been revving my e39 530 like that since I bought it and it runs just fine. Same with my friend who has been *flooring* his turbocharged car the same minute he started it, and it's been running fine for years.
But I guess you wouldn't believe that, I think you'd find more satisfying to keep regurgitating the myth that was popularized by people like you who don't know what they're talking about but they feel it's OK to insult people who won't buy their BS.
You won't be needing that new fancy lightning in garage with all those check engine lights glowing 😋
Keep it up, this and Misha's E34 will surely be great projects
The E34 will be our winter entertainment
Hahaha, dobraa 😂
Nova keš himna kancge Alpina nemoj je pipas
Hope yours goes better than mine!
You have prejudice against BMWs. Man can tell just listening you talk about them. BMWs can sense your fear or hate and ruin your bank account as a revenge.
It's crazy that hoovies was here and noone noticed
It did not
Hey im a e65 specialist and know your problem by looking at the symptoms. Your eccentric shaft (valvetronic) has been worn out on both sides/engine banks as your throttle input is in fact the valvetronic motor turning this eccentric shaft pushing in or out the intermediate levers onto the valves creating variable valve adjustment. So everytime someone puts its foot on the pedal this eccentric shaft will be adjusted to the gas pedals electric position. These eccentric shafts wear out due to delayed oil service intervals. Replace the eccentric shafts on both sides with new needles from bmw and also the intermediate levers. The engine is starting rough because of a possible misfire due to one of the intermediate levers failing to make contact with the counter part in the valvetronic assembly. You can fix it temporarily by unplugging the mass airflow sensor near the right upper side of the radiator. When its unplugged the engine will run in safety mode and pushing all the valvetronic levers always 100% open/up instead of 0% closed. Then it wont misfire.
Thanks for the input! I found the issue, bank 2 exhaust side timing is off and chain guides smashed to bits. The eccentric shaft looks okay, not seeing any abnormal wear. If you have experience with the timing chain replacement, shoot me an email, might have some questions - m539restorations@gmail.com
Youre so smart!
Fantastic
You know your stuff..I own two e65s...you need a channel my friend!
@@M539Restorations mines is reading timing over advanced bank 2..🤔
The best RUclips channel that exists, thank you so much for uploading such a great content 👏👏👏👏
Just when you think this awesome channel can't get any better, Sreten goes ahead and buys a monstrous Alpina.
Hehe, true.
Γουστάρεις Άρη μου;
for how ugly the regular E65 is, Alpina did a really great job, it looks so good
I think the facelifted ones in general look pretty good. They fixed the front and did a good job of "hiding" the trunk lid design.
Or maybe you were just repeating others without really looking
I think the newer e65 are nice to look at especially sport ones
yes e65 is an ugly car
@@RMFUNTIK so is ur mom
I was too shy to admit that I appreciate the E65 facelift as well :} glad I'm not the only one. Nice package, be brave, you'll need to be as it seems!
Avoue, même si c'est une merguez, t'aimerais bien mettre tes mains dans le moteur histoire de voir qu'est-ce qui rend une Alpina si...spéciale? Lol.
@@BXtremP ça m'a l'air d'être une bonne galère quand même. Pourtant le m62 de base m'est plutôt familier.
@@SmellsLikeGASOLINE Oui c'est vrai que je suis impressionné par le travail d'Alpina, en soit rien de spectaculaire, mais disons efficace, et pour le coup le véhicule est plutôt discret, mais reste bien loin d'une version classique du modèle de base, et surtout bien loin aussi d'une simple version rebadgée.
A man of good taste!
Allons Hedi, tu vas bien nous en trouver une toi aussi, je suis sûr qu'il y a encore de la place sur le parking??
Now you’re talkin Sreten, having spent 16 years with BMW and some of those years as a Master Tech, I’m impressed with your skills and your attitude towards tackling this level of vehicle. Keep up the great content!
4:19 The best moment of this episode xD
I have a 15 minute conversation with the CEO of a start up I applied to coming up, seeing there was a new episode up greatly reduced my anxiety and got me to smile.
Can't wait for the call to be over so I can watch this right after
"Why is he pedaling this early?" - Probably because his BMW broke down.
Where :)
A man who even through the challenges or imperfections with a project can still get excited about what can be instead of what is and humble enough to inject humor into a situation. I salute you Sir. It must be why your subscriber list grows.
I was shouting at the screen when the guy revved the cold engine right along with you, truly unbelievable..
Great to see an Alpina on the show though! Can't wait for all the repairs this car will need and already looking forward to the drive on the Autobahn!
Totally didn't expect him to do that. Properly pissed me off.
@@M539RestorationsYeah I can imagine!
@@M539Restorations I'd complain to the company considering it's a german company. at least to have it on record. even better if one of the people in the chain is a car guy.
I would have been fuming… how long had it even been sat on that transporter before revving it up from stone cold. Astonishing.
@@M539Restorations Why did he rev the engine? To charge the battery faster?
“That’s 57 gallons” 😂😂😂
almost :D
German gallons not us gallons 😁

My favourite episode ever!!! I am over the moon excited that you have purchased that amazing ALPINA!!! I will be counting the days until the next episode. To me this is a car you can't overspend on!! Very rare and collectable!!
And he bought it at such a good price! Really looking forward to this one. We should start laying bets on how much he will have to spend on it. I don't think it will be terribly expensive....

Way to go Sreten! You rock
Working on cars is no easy task, your sense of humor and optimistic approach is admirable.
Thanks for these videos
I physically recoiled when he floored it right after turning it on, I wonder how many cars he has done that to before
@@GlamStacheessnostalgialounge that’s fuckin retarded. like childishly idiotic.
that cumstain 1000% revved the car when he loaded it on the truck. I assure you.
@@GlamStacheessnostalgialounge I've never done it to ANY vehicle, even a rental car. Anyone reving any engine when cold, should be IMMEDIATELY bludgeoned in with a blunt implement 👍
I blame the upbringing, some people aren't raised to value things in general.
I'd say, every single car. And he knew a camera was on him!
You sir, are a total beast. I’m still sorting minor stuff out with my e39 m5 that I finally got back on the road after 5 years, and have an e34 and e32 to completely go through after that. I can’t even imagine taking on anything else right now. I don’t know how you do it, but keep up the good work. I’ve definitely picked up some knowledge from watching your vids.
I've nicknamed my neighbor "Loud Audi" because that's what he drives. Even on sub-zero days in the winter he starts his car and revs to 5,000 rpm repeatedly to warm the engine. The lack of mechanical sympathy drives me absolutely crazy, and I feel bad for whoever buys his once great S5 coupe once he's done torturing it.
I share that just to say that I too yelled at my computer when that jackass revved your cold supercharged engine like he was trying to keep a balky string trimmer running. Awful!
Great show, as always. Keep it up!
These morning revvers are telling us something about themselves
What are the risks of revving a cold (especially supercharged) engine? Does it ware faster or can you get a catastrophic failure?
@@thomasnowell its the ultimate stress for any engine, pistons are still dry and that high rpm reving destroys engine.
@@thomasnowell lubrication has been lost from most of the friction surfaces and joints due to gravity and the oil needs to warm up to thin out to get back everywhere it needs to. any metal on metal contact without that layer of oil is Very Bad.
2:27 "the hell is wrong with u"
Found your channel 3 days ago and can't stop watching every Project. Wow!
Despite this one is the millionth video on this channel, happened to be one of the funniest episode so far. I'm more than happy that Sreten's sense of humor has not faded at all. And this B7 is such a beauty, can't wait to see it in its former glory.
Man, I want more! What a killer deal for that car. It has definitely made its way to the proper person for saving it from the scrap yard.
I have a story about the E65 Gear Selector:
In 2009 I was working as a Technician at a BMW Dealership. Another Technician a few bays down from me had just replaced a Brake Booster/Hydroboost unit on an E65. Something went wrong, and the car had no brakes, or hardly any. He pulled the little dongle-shifter into drive, and the car smashed into his Snap-On tool box. He then accidentally got it into reverse (this is where it gets interesting) and backed over the lift arms, crossed the shop and smashed a Drinking Fountain next to the parts department.
The humor has always been good, but it's getting better and better. Love it!
Some helpful E65 pointers!
When you are changing the headlights, be sure to change the angel eye LED bulbs at that point if you plan on upgrading them to the more modern white LEDs, as the angel eye bulb is located on the underside of the headlight unit and requires the entire headlight to be removed along with the front bumper.
In regards to your interior heat, whilst the blower motors can fail, so can just the resistor pack attached to it which is a seperate part. If you are getting heat but no real fan speed, the other culprit can be the HVAC control panel which requires replacement. As you have the rear sunshade, be sure to choose the HVAC controls with the same part number as what comes out (as there is some bizarre difference).
You have the chrome lined door handles, which means you have comfort access. These handles are notorious for failing, which can also result in a battery drain. It's unusual to see them all sticking like that, possibly from lack of use or maybe Texas heat. The door handles come out relatively easily without having to remove the door cards, but you need long tools to unhook the handle latch system through the access port on the side of the door (theres a few videos on it).
You may find greasing them up frees them up. In regards to the comfort access, if you find it is not working on any door, you may have frayed cables in each handle which can be soldered back together. If the touch sensitive strips have failed, there is no repairing them.
Last time I checked, the comfort accesss handles are upwards of €700 a handle, so you could be better off doing a comfort access delete.
In regards to what you mentioned about the exhaust vacuum valve, i would leave it be. The valve reduces noise at lower rpms; sticking that valve open the whole time will induce a drone noise into the cabin which grows tiresome.
The CD changers in E65 models fail all the time, pull it out and replace it with a Dension Gateway, it gives USB/Ipod/Bluetooth/AUX.
If you press and hold the driver window shade button, all shades activate at the same time.
Whilst you saw no blue smoke, be constantly on the lookout for it whilst driving or on longer journeys. It may not have shown in your idle test, but it might show under different driving conditions. Do NOT use BMW stem seals, use Elring.
I used the Bimmerpipe valley pipe, 5 years on and still going strong.
Good luck!
Your comment scared me away from BMW’s a bit lol
Yeah, the point is - don't use BMW valley pipe. There are better solutions already, that doesn't require you to tear the whole engine - instead you cut off the original pipe and replace it with a extendable one. Way easier, way cheaper - same effect.
I came back to watch this series from the beginning. I wish I am able to do the same thing with cars one day.
Seeing that all the US- RUclipsrs carry these moneypits into the junkyard gets my hopes right up for this one :)
That said, it looks like the previous owner looked after the car as much as his wallet could :)
Or as much as it can be done
If I remember correctly, Hoovie’s Garage had one and sent it to J&J Auto Wrecking after pretty much exhausting his patience with it at the Car Ninjas.
not true, just as many people save them as anywhere else, here in the states, albeit E36, E46 M3 and M5 and 80's cars are most popular. I would say that holds true for most of the world though. Most people don't restore the drivetrain though, they usually LS swap and i can't say i blame them.
@Rockpport1911: That's because most of the US RUclipsrs (regarding this type of content) are idiots.
@@legioner9 lol, I would love to do similar types of projects but it's just not worth it for me here. Aren't parts cheaper in Germany? Already have enough problems with my 400km GTI. Insurance is cheap...but if I get hit I'll get $2-3k max, if that.
I really like your recent "vintages" cars projects, but I have to admit that, with that Alpina you have all my attention !
Congratulations on saving this magnificent B7, the car is amazing. Hello from Brazil!!!
I have driven 325i compact for 18 jeans……….and still in love on BMW….. my compliments how you handle and repairing these great machines….. thank you for all the uploads…… greetings from Holland

Absolutely one of my favorites. In Alpina kit it is a gorgeous understated mile muncher! Glad to see it being saved
Streten, in that bulletin they say you have to change ALL FOUR camshaft position sensors and the crank position sensors and reset adaptations. Now there is an update to that bulletin for how you reset the adaptions. In insta, it’s something with resetting the oil life counter on that. But it’s only in the UPDATED version of that bulletin you referenced. The only reason why I cannot stress doing all of those sensors and resetting adaptions is I almost put an engine in a customer car I was trying to diagnose for this EXACT issue. I checked timing, I checked the motors, I did everything. Car ran great too. But it would throw those faults and a fault for timing being a tooth off. I did all four camshaft sensors and the crank, did the adaptions reset and it was perfect. If I had work tomorrow I’d get you the updated bulletin number for that one you were following but follow that before you rip those valve covers off. They are a MAJOR pain in the fucking ass.
Thank you. Good to know! Will do that before removing valve covers. Edit: I found how to reset it with ISTA, will try tomorrow
I love that when you make a video its like a whole picture not some parts cut into 10 minutes without anything interesting on its own going on like some RUclipsrs do
I like this project, it isn't something I'd mess with but I do learn alot from watching you tinker with it.
Clogged oil feed lines for the eccentric shafts cause pre-mature wear on the shafts. Best way is to inspect the shafts for "grooving" where the intermediate levers make contact and the most typical spot is when the shafts are in idle position. But you have probably already researched that :P But good luck and love the videos :)
@@agnez8646 yes
Ah great to see an Alpina B7 been restored to full health by the genius himself. Every video I watch gives me a lesson or 2 or 3. So keep up the great work and i wonder by how much you cant chop off that 11k estimate. 👍👍👍👍
I felt a sudden wave of pure hate towards the lorry driver for what he did 😡🤦🏻♂️. Like as if it ever helped.
Imagine how many asshat lorrie drivers do this.
Call Down he didnt know 😂😂😂
What are you talking about dipship
I'v just finished restorations of my E66 B7. Your videos are really dynamic! ^^
I’ve had the fortunate pleasure of spending 2 weeks with a 2013 B7 that my friend lent me. What a fast cruiser it really is. Other than lots of little assorted problems, it’s main issue was eating wheels like PEZ. He had some wheel insurance warranty, and used it 4 or 5 times. Small bumps=Alpina shrapnel. Beware, and have fun!
Best present for a long 4-day weekend! Thanks for the video!
I'm not in a hurry to get old, but from now, to next time, time can only go too slow 🤓
It's always a pleasure watching your videos, because of the tremendous amount of work but also because of your humor.
😎👍🍻
oh man that truck driver gave me ptsd of a driver who told me he knew how to drive a stick trying to load my m3 on the back of his truck....i can still smell the clutch burning :(
Sretus Maximus, I can't wait for the day when you start building your own motors. People total Alpinas for valve seals because of the labor involved. Doing heads over is pretty straightforward. Many of the tasks you've taken on are as complicated or more so. Most peeps are scared to death of J-K-tronic but you jumped right in. I love it. You set a good example for everyone. Do your homework and go for it
I did the valve seals on my B7 with 137k miles. It was a PiTA but as long as your patient because you can’t hurry this job, it’s doable
@@1SNITCH awesome
Upper timing case gaskets, valve cover gasket set and alternator bracket will all need replacing to cure leaks, as will vacuum pump seals. Replace the oil pressure sensor at the same time as they go bad and leak oil through the wiring sleeve. Coolant transfer pipe can be fixed using 32mm aluminium pipe carefully turned down to fit (which I did by spinning and gently sanding the diameter), then fitted using loads of appropriate sealant on the inside of the valley pipe and outside of the stent pipe. Nice engines to work on, to be honest. Did all this to my 645Ci last year and took me a total of about 20hrs across 5days. You can replace alternator bracket gasket by releasing engine mounts and lifting the engine using a lifting beam across the engine bay, then accessing the alternator and bracket from through the front.
that would have to be one of the best exhaust sounds i have EVER heard!!!!!!!!!! i keep going back to it!!!!!!!
That's a badass car. I truly appreciate you working on this, and I feel this is one you'll keep not sell. I look forward to the next installment!.
I wish it was the one that Hoovies Garage scrapped months ago, but I know that came from Kansas.
Have fun with the valve cover gaskets, really tight job atleast on the 5 and 6 series. I had the integrated power module go bad on my 545i, it had a bad solderings inside. Also noticed when i had the 545i that the n62 is also very picky about oil quality and right viscosity. I had lots of issues with valvetronic and random misfires at first, then changed oil grade and viscosity to manuafacturer specific, fixed all vacuum leaks, pcv diaphrams and set minimum valve lift back to the original with ista. The coolant pipe is quite easy to change just remove wiring and intake and there is lots of space to install the collapsable coolant pipe.
I am not ashamed to say I have watched this video twice. Didn't know I love Alpinas this much
His videos are getting better and better. And he is gainning followers increasingly fast. So happy for streten, he definitely made it!!!
0:30 made my day!! 😅 And it's actually one cool looking car!
Watching your productions is truly delightful--I eagerly await your next one.
The parking sensor scream cutoff was perfect
I agree. The stock window tinting is perfect. The tint that blacks out the windows detracts from the overall style.
This episode is even more action packed and zaney than normal, I love it. Such good entertainment.
There's this thing for people who enjoy early mornings as much as you.
It's called

Or Cocaine. That is what the rear seat trays are for right? Might not work so well in this beast.
Truck driver: revs a cold engine like a lunatic*
Sreten: “Ima bout to end this man’s whole career”
Almost gave me a heartattack!
Funniest episode so far. Holy crap thanks for saving the day!
The delivery guy revving the ever loving shit of the car right after starting it ice cold was so frustrating
Everyone knows the battery instantly charges when you rev the piss out of it.
oh man when he started revving it a part of me died...
Diagnose dan just did a very helpfull video on diagnosis on the valvetronic system might be worth a watch and could help give you some troubleshooting ideas.
That’s the best looking e65 I’ve ever seen
I understand that arguing about choises is pointless, but man, for me E65 is just GOAT, love it so much
Truly a leap of generations, I'd say this is a last great "old" BMW in terms of design
Thank you for working on this car, I feel honored to watch this
That Alpine is a jewel. Im glad you brought her back to life!
I watched Tyler give up on his B7 and sell it to a wrecker and it made me really sad, it also made me think of you and whether you could revive it.
26:36 Sreten, I'm impressed thet the guy, with the cleanest cars, and always fixes all things broken on them, then decides to have the dirtiest and most broken laptop in the world! Maybe, it's the evil twins laptop? :D
That laptop isn't a BMW now is it? :P
Much of the BMW diagnostic software will only run out of the box on ancient versions of Windows; I had a similar crappy old laptop running Windows XP that was dedicated to car diagnostics and similarly stained and worn.
Pretty sure this will be my favorite project after the E60, this is going to be awesome!
Had the pleasure of detailing a purple B7 last week, sweet car
Great video as are all of your videos! I have a 2007 E66 750Li and absolutely love it! Just turned 80k miles and no check engine lights yet!
Sreten, I would call this car: "the beauty and the beast"... As far as the coolant leak, you can do it for sure.
I got the same engine and it had the same issue. I bought the AGA repair kit and did it at home. I highly recommend to do the valve stems replacement in case its needed when replacing the cooling pipe. REMOVING THE COOLING PIPE PAN, DO NOT USE A DRILL TO REMOVE THE 10MM BOLTS, CUZ THEY CAN BRAKE EZ AND IT HAPPENED TO ME. The only reason why it took me a little longer cuz I had to remove the broken piece and retap but no longer than 7 hours. Keep it up and thanks for sharing with us.
Great car! Be careful with the CD magazine drawer. Just eject the magazine with the little square button that you will see if you look carefully inside and then remove it fully and then push it back in until it grabs it and pulls it in and then wait for quite a while while it reads all the discs or checks that the magazine is empty and then after all that, the the door/flap will close by itself. Be very patient ...
Yeah it takes a minute. The one in my e60 takes almost a minute from inserting the magazine to read the discs and then play.
I had the valley cooling pipe replaced on my 2008 650i. The dlr quoted $9,000; I bought a legit collapsable aftermarket pipe for $900+$600 labor by moonlighting Master BMW tech. Prost!
Sreten - why would anyone put a negative on here - Its Great Stuff you do, you even admit you have not come across certain things, and its new - most others would be gun hoo and says they know everything ! - you are genuine and honest in everything you do !

I'm so glad you get such special cars Sreten! The engine sounds truly amazing! Can't wait for it to sing on the autobahn!
Just a little tip from a fellow E65/E66 owner thats done a lot of engine work on my N62B40TU and other N62's- Viewing Vanos adaptations though inpa will give you a reference position of the vanos adaptations on a coloured gauge. Double check they are in the green. if the adaptations are in the red or borderline that can mean there is excessive wear in the timing set (chain stretch, failed guides or tensioners). This can cause similar errors as well. Easiest is to check the timing chain tensioner as for bank 2 it is accessible from the top and its the bank you have your errors in.
Regarding the excessive power draw from the vanos motors, one possibility can be the 4 needle bearings along the eccentric shaft, I have seen a few that have seized (usually sludgy engines, or mistreated engines (revving when cold) ) or a bad earth/pinched wiring in the DME box.
I'm a huge fan of your work and I'm excited for the future of this project. Good Luck! and let me know if I can ever help :)
Owned 2 e65s with the n62b44 engines..throwing code for "timing over advanced on bank 2"...tried everything except replacing timing guides or anything timing related..replaced all cam sensors though..on cold starts idles very badly..oil control valves are fine..any suggestions?
Awesome video Sreten! Can't wait for the next one! Lovely B7!
My god i can imagine the panic the owner must have had when he saw that bill. Owning a BMW is scarier then all of halloween combined sometimes
My bill on mY B7 was $9k for valve stem seals. You simply just do it yourself

@@Dmxravin no thank you. I’ll stick with my B7
@@1SNITCH Yeah. Real simple. Lol
@@mattbudesa6351 valve stem seals are just time consuming. You cannot rush the job. You have to have a lot of patience. I did not remove the camshaft. I used a special set of tools to go around them. The only problem I had encountered were when the Valvetronic guides slipped off its tension spring. That was Not easy clipping them back on. I had to wedge a V like tool to mount the guides back on with a lot of force. Made my old ass (50 year man ) cry. Lol
Great video, i own two ...yes not one but two 760li's of this era . Appears we both love the pain of making these cars wonderous again. Would love a B7 some day.
I am writing this while watching this video. I had a 2002 745i, still regret selling it. I know people are hating this gen of 7 but I don't. It didn't have blue smoke or coolant problem but it had alternator ( oil cool ) gasket leak and transmission pressure seal broken. Some more other issues here and there but in general I would buy it again! Since this video of yours, I decided I will look for one i near future !
Oh boy, have worked on this engine. You're in for A LOT of fun. Enjoy hahaha
''Giant check engine light'' just like every VW/Audi
"What the hell is wrong with you!" 😂😂😂 he's just an clueless fool
Probably an old-school dude, old cars idle better after you give them some revs.
@@halogod0298 Not ALL the revs!
@@BlueXonar true, he did put it in the ketchup 😂
Thank you for giving that guy the business for doing that beauty that way...he drives other people's cars like that.
This car used to be parked at a body shop next to my kid’s Montessori school! Can’t believe it randomly showed up in a video on my YT recommendations!
22:26 I died laughing jesus that screaming BEEP got me
I'm an adult male. Sreten shot me back to being 10 with that insta-anxiety inducing "dad yell." You know, when you're just sitting there, seemingly not doing anything wrong. And dad's yell pierces the silence because you're playing with a still sheathed switch blade you found in an area that was off limits and you have no idea what it is? Damn Sret, thanks for the mems! hahaha
Great (brave) purchase, but irresistible at the price. Really looking forward to seeing you sort this one out 👍
Chris Bangle has much to answer for on the design front however - as with the excellent E39 becoming the E60, what was he thinking of when penning the replacement for the beautiful E38?
And the delivery driver - he should be sacked!
😀 7:04 I can't believe he actually ate the paint! You had me laughing my ass off at a meeting!
4k for any alpina is like getting lottery, good luck with the project. Cent wait for next episode, subscribed with notification on!
The "coked-up business man" must hate this car! Absolutely love the channel, hope to see more Alpinas in the future
