I bought my first BMW because of this guy. Almost put 10,000 miles on my beauty. Im still waiting for him to work on a Z4 Coupe. Cmon man... DO IT!!!!!
True but at the same time you know it already is one because down the road and car history it will get mentioned and remembered and repaired and restored @@DFletcher413
I have to say, there isnt many videos on youtube that are over an hour long that you can watch fully without skipping a single second. This channel has basically all of them. Absolutley incredible!
Accurate af. Watching his vids I hate seeing the time winding down. Over an hour does not feel like more than 15mins. Now I am going to lose my mind waiting on the next installment of this build.
There’s nothing better than fresh M539 Restorations content in the morning. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Sreten so happy on-screen, but I’m loving every second of it. The engine looks magnificent and sounds even better. Also, seeing parts come out of the Vixen Aquablast cabinet never gets old, please keep those coming. It was a damn shame about that inner tie-rod having to be replaced. It ruined an otherwise good feel moment. Project Frankfurt sure is looking spiffy now that it has a new engine, let’s hope it moved along further at a quick pace. Big thanks to all the suppliers supporting all these magnificent projects, we all appreciate you. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season with your wife, Sreten, and stay safe. I wish you the very best in the coming year, and I can’t wait to see what new crazy projects you have in store for us. See you, my friend.
You have youtube or you have worked with this shit for ever... Especially cars from Germany. But i have to agree he is fun and very accurate about the things he does.😋
One of the things I liked is that in his last video (part 6) he mentions the repair manual often and then adds any tips, tricks and extras that he has learned along the way.
Even a 1 hour and 24 minutes video from you feels like 30 minutes, loving the lenght of the video. Always very cool and detailed explanation of everything. Also i wish you a Merry Christmas Sreten!
He knows we all love his lenght. he likes to give it to us. so we don't only have 30 good minutes but get one and a half hour of pure love. Also from my Merry Christmas Streten, From Germany
That moment at 1:17:10 there is no better feeling in the world than what you felt there. YOU did all of that. YOU measured everything you could, YOU torqued down every nut and bolt…YOU built that engine. Some person you’ve never met didn’t assemble that engine but YOU did, and that moment of pure happiness can never be replicated. You deserve all of this Sreten and I’m damn happy you’ve brought all of us along with you for this journey. I can’t wait to hear that engine scream on the Autobahn!
Easy when you got an 3 year old engine with super new and expensive parts to bolt on. so on and etc. But He knows the spec. Love to see that too cause i'm the same doing CNC with Lathe: 0.01-0.02 mm is normal to me...
If you bought an 80 year old car. Ofc. you had no spec. no data what so ever and no parts and you reassemble it back together with no blueprint then in my eyes your an genius!!! But if i can read it all on the net or what so ever it's not so much as cleaver as i thought..
The best car restoration videos without being pumped by sponsored ads throughout like CarVirus 🙄 Please never change the format, it works and my God it's so addictive to watch!!
Maybe you did not notes. It's called subminimal advertising. When you as an person don't even know it's happening to you. Was like 20 ads for company's during this EP.
Every minute of M539 is another minute the entire world calms down, grabs a nice beverage, and admires skilled and careful craftsmanship. So thankful to have this channel and this content. It is pure zen.
I am the original owner of a 2008 e92 N54 6MT and this channel has inspired me to do all my own work using OE/Genuine parts and hopefully keep the car on the road for another 15 years. Thanks Streten for the inspiration.
Some items are worth the upgrade from the after market like the charge pipes. Aftermarket aluminum ones are deffinitely worth it as a "maintenance upgrade." Likewise with turbos. Or at least modified OEM turbos to fix the waste gate issues permanently. I have an 09 135i N54. I drive a bunch and its kickin around at 250k kilometers. Just good maintenance schedules and paying attention to the car makes the difference!
@@ruskibruski imo I would go with single turbo, twice the price but no more issues like wastegate rattle. N54 OEM turbos are not known to last when it comes to wastegates. And you can go with smaller diameter turbo to have similar characteristics as OEM twin turbo setup. It will last forever that way. BTW, injectors for N54 are more expensive than the turbo anyway...
@@FoxIRLVR oh man, we can go on with better aftermarket alternatives forever but main things that I can think of is silicone hose with billet fittings on both ends that runs over the radiator, it will never snap like original one. Also, aluminum expansion tank from Turner Motorsports. There's another company that makes similar ones too but they don't have coolant level sensor in them. That's a game changer and they have relief valve in the cap as all do with a hose routed to the ground so no worries about cooling system explosion of some sort. Aluminum power steering reservoir, billet valve cover and so on, can't recall what parts are also available at the moment. But putting everything aside - cleaning intake valves and installing oil catch can is the best thing you can do for your engine, I guess the cheapest and bringing good results in the long run
Sreten, the humor and overall energy of your videos is very enjoyable, I'm certain you motivated countless people (including me) to work on their projects, and to do it in a thorough and no-shortcuts way. I was actually hoping the Schrick cams would arrive before installing the engine! Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🎄
I can absolutely attest to this statement. Watching these videos got me to remembering that I used to work on my own cars when I was younger, and that there's no reason I can't go back to doing it now. Just the simple things, like replacing headlight units, replacing alternators, and dropping new AC compressors in, but by god it's been fun. Maybe I can find myself an empty garage space to rent near me, then I could pick up a project car to fix up!
This guy is an absolute legend! He deserves all successes with these projects. So glad you got this engine up and running. Have a lovely well-deserved Christmas break Steten.
Incredible content as usual. Despite being over 1 hour long, it felt like a quick 30 minutes. Also, a shoutout to BMW engineers who designed this beauty.
Literally didn't skip any second of your video, so informative, addictive. Also respect the quality of it and your knowledge. You deserve more subs and views. Keep up this excellent work and be safe ❤️
The viewer commitment, regardless of video length is a real credit to you! These videos are always a treat and you’ve absolutely earned that following 👌🏻
Those “clip holder thingies” are adel clamps. Us aircraft mechanics loooove them. Especially when 2-3 are stacked together with one bolt and you can’t see where you’re trying to install it
Thanks! Nice work, I’m having an issue with the E90 and maybe you’ve come across it, no start and key stuck in the ignition. If I short circuit the battery terminals it wakes up but it keeps coming back. I tried checking the battery and it seems okay also changing the fuse box and the wheel speed sensors/TPMS antenna but no difference. Do I have to change every fuse and relay or do you know what it is? Any reply from anyone is good. I don’t want to go to the dealership because this started after going there for a recall. I would pay for results that work.
The sound of that S85 is just magnificent. Having owned a Z4M with the S54 that very typical throaty sound brings back memories. S54 and S85 were absolute highlights of BMW engineering. Congrats on your achievement!
My high school degree is electromechanical technician. It's been 12 years since I've seen an engine assembly and never saw one done bolt by bolt. Very entertaining and enjoyable.
Sreten, I cannot say this enough. You make the best videos out there. There is no other youtuber out there that even holds a candle to your work. Hope you have a beautiful time in upcoming Holidays and cannot wait for the next video.
Absolutely phenomenal as always. Literally the highlight of my day every time you post a new video. I tell everyone I know that likes cars or has an appreciation for detail-oriented folks to watch your channel. I'm proud to support you on Patreon. Your videos provide so much delight and intellectual stimulation. I feel inspired to achieve things after watching these. I hope you continue to see success and I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season.
One tip for the next time you are trying to bleed the air out of the power steering system: bleed and fill until no more fluid is needed. Steer lock to lock for a few times. Shut off the engine for at least 20 minutes. The bubbles in the fluid will disappear and after a few more lock to locks the air will be gone.
This project and project Chicago always had me hooked! Almost one hour and an half and I was ... NOOO IT'S OVER?! Just want to see that thing roll down the Straße! lol Amazing content as usual!
Consistently amazing. Unbelievable this channel doesn't have over 1 million subscribers. I reckon the mystery non BMW project is going to make that happen. Until then enjoy a well deserved break.
Can't describe how i feel and this is not even my car :D This was a fantastic year for you with a proper ending. Alpina finished and finally sold (was good to see it again, btw), Raleigh used as a all-around car (and it can handle it), Cologne had reborn, has a new heart and goes sideways by now, you got married, you have two fantastic Touring and finally the M3 came back with a big rumble. Saw Misha's video, hopefully the E39M5 will be not a big deal to fix. Congrats Sreten, thank you for the great content, wish you all the best for the next year! Happy Holidays!
I smiled and shed ONE tear when you smiled, I don't know you and don't have your knowledge in repairing but I felt your happiness and myself was and is happy for you, can't wait to see more 💪🏿🙏🏿
IMHO Sreten is the BEST conetnt creator on YT, period! Thank you my friend for this delicious episode, happy holidays and we can't wait to watch the next episode on the E92 M3!
i´ve been watching your videos for 2 years now and actually got myself my first bmw. It`s a 2006 e90 330i and just love it... been taking care of it and replacing everylick one at a time and it has been a blast. Seeing you acomplishing a goal like building your dream car is just amazing. You deserve it, keep going, thanks to you I´m actually learning how to keep my e90 better than ever.
Woo-hoo Streten has a new video out! Get food, get tea, get nibbles and turn off the phone. What a beautiful job mate. The car sounds great. All that carbon fibre really does make that engine. Merry Christmas Streten, great to hear you are both going to a warmer country for your break. We are in the middle of a heat wave here in Oz. Thanks for the video, take care and be safe.
You deserve alot more love and attention for this kind of work really!! Only channel on RUclips that i watch every single video from beginning to the end, i just cant help it. Thank you for this amazing content!
At 1hr 16 min you get to see why M539 is a legend. 🙌🏾. Your journey is our journey and we thank you for always being meticulous with your work and videos. You are a legend 💪🏾.
Pro tip for next time youre bleeding a P/S system: turn the steering lock to lock about 15 times BEFORE you start the engine, this will bleed the air before the pump has a chance to aerate it. Cuts bleeding time down to about a minute after the engine is started.
Congratulations 👏 Nothing like waking up in the morning and seeing you favorite RUclips channel M539 has a new video😊 Love the sound of a BMW V8 👌 Great content and excellent product quality ! Happy Holidays to you and Thank You. Karl
Aaaand now after whatching this, time to rewhatch the first one and come again to this one... sooooo enjoyable 😍😍😍 I would like someone with this kind of attention to detail to work on any car.
What can I say, exceptionally good work. The effort was rewarded with a clean running engine and a rich sound. I hope we can enjoy it soon on a test drive with you. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a good start to the New Year
In 2017, I bought a 2011 BMW M3 in the same color as yours. Mine had the competition package and was in near mint condition with 46000 miles. Like you, it was my dream car, and I loved every minute of owning it. Last year, l drove it less than 300 miles in total because I was 76 years old, and it was getting tougher to get in and out of it, so because Motorwerks BMW here in Minneapolis really, really wanted to buy it back, l sold it to them for $34000 (I paid $36000) with only 52000 miles on it and after driving it for 5 years. Watching your great video series made me really miss it. PS, they sold it 5 days later for $46,500!
You Sir, are the best thing on RUclips! I have been following you from your humble beginnings, and have enjoyed the journey you have provided us all! You should be very proud of your development, and your accomplishments... Thank you!
Both this video and the Part 6 were super educational❣ I never had the opportunity to learn about all the engine parts and how they integrate together beyond a brief middle school introduction. I'm keeping both of these videos for reference. I learned a lot!
The world would be a different place if all mechanics had at least 30% of your professionalism and work ethics! Loved every minute of this reassembly! 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
You got me with the intro. But I've been lookin forward to this for months and I'm so glad you've finally done it! Your content's quality progression has been so good and felt so natural its astounding! Samo teraj druze :) btw since the new project's not a beemer it better be an alfa :DD
Hey man. New sub here. Dare I say it, but I'm not really a BMW guy, however, this series has been one of the best engine rebuilds I've ever seen. You're clean, methodical, and knowledgeable, and I've laughed out loud on several occasions. Looks like I'll be going through all of your videos! 🎉
Such a good job Sreten bro. So cool to see how excited you are when it started so well. And the thing didn't move a mm when running, how is it that smooth! Congratulations mate and thanks for bringing us along on your journey.
After a nice day wrenching on my Lexus, nothing quite satisfies the evening as much as a new episode from Sreten. Congratulations on getting the beast running! Looking forward to some technical Dyno sessions 😎
I just found this channel a few days ago and it’s quickly growing on me. I have a e46 330ci at home and have plans to give it an oem+ refresh. Merry Christmas my guy, you have some awesome cars 🎉
I would understand if someone thought that watching almost 90 minutes of a meticulous human messing with a BMW, sounds horrible. ..but to me it's massively satisfying to see things done the correct way. You even taking your time to clean where most people would have let the dirt stay. ..and the torque settings on every bolt. This is properly nerdy stuff. I don't even own a car, but i LOVE watching you work.
I don't even own a BMW, but I like watching you breathe life into these classics.
I bought my first BMW because of this guy. Almost put 10,000 miles on my beauty. Im still waiting for him to work on a Z4 Coupe. Cmon man... DO IT!!!!!
I wouldn't call an e92 a classic quite yet. Lol

i've said it before, this man should get way more credit for his magnitifecnt work!

It’s so satisfying to watch him rebuild and bring these cars back to life, definitely after great start to the day

If IIIII done this crap i would defiantly have known!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the things I liked is that in his last video (part 6) he mentions the repair manual often and then adds any tips, tricks and extras that he has learned along the way.
I actually spent over 3 hours looking at the assembly from now on and haven't regretted it for a minute

Me too!
Absolutely

That engine is singing beautifully at the last oil change..
next up what better place to brake and loosen a fresh motor than a NurgburgRing test ?
He knows we all love his lenght. he likes to give it to us. so we don't only have 30 good minutes but get one and a half hour of pure love.

Love that, fits a whole engine and gets the most angry at 3 stickers! I would of lost it at the coolant pipes not being there on time.
Amazing how a guy wrenching away on bimmers for an hour and a half is more entertaining that several multimillion dollar movies. But it just is!
Congratulations 👏
Nothing like waking up in the morning and seeing you favorite RUclips channel M539 has a new video😊
Love the sound of a BMW V8 👌
Great content and excellent product quality !
Happy Holidays to you and Thank You.

Amazing work bud, you you're almost at the finish line of your dream car, its been such an awesome journey watching you get to this point.
Attention to detail is ridiculous,got to be one of the most mechanically sound e92 M3’s in the world. 💪
Aaaand now after whatching this, time to rewhatch the first one and come again to this one... sooooo enjoyable 😍😍😍
I would like someone with this kind of attention to detail to work on any car.
I love your videos, your attention to detail is second to none. keep doing whatcha doin bro.
Fab episode as usual. Your enthusiasm and attention to detail just make the videos come to life! .Have a great Xmas and a well deserved break!
What can I say, exceptionally good work. The effort was rewarded with a clean running engine and a rich sound. I hope we can enjoy it soon on a test drive with you.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a good start to the New Year
In 2017, I bought a 2011 BMW M3 in the same color as yours. Mine had the competition package and was in near mint condition with 46000 miles. Like you, it was my dream car, and I loved every minute of owning it. Last year, l drove it less than 300 miles in total because I was 76 years old, and it was getting tougher to get in and out of it, so because Motorwerks BMW here in Minneapolis really, really wanted to buy it back, l sold it to them for $34000 (I paid $36000) with only 52000 miles on it and after driving it for 5 years. Watching your great video series made me really miss it.
PS, they sold it 5 days later for $46,500!
I love my microfiber roofs and my carbon fiber towels
You Sir, are the best thing on RUclips! I have been following you from your humble beginnings, and have enjoyed the journey you have provided us all! You should be very proud of your development, and your accomplishments...
Thank you!
This is incredible mate, this series deserves an award. Cannot imaging the amount of time and effort this must have took.
Another amazing episode on E92, I can’t wait to hear this car on open throttle.
Both this video and the Part 6 were super educational❣ I never had the opportunity to learn about all the engine parts and how they integrate together beyond a brief middle school introduction. I'm keeping both of these videos for reference. I learned a lot!
how can you not love these videos ? I just bought a totally unnecessary old E39 530d because of this channel and my girlfriend is so angry now😅
The world would be a different place if all mechanics had at least 30% of your professionalism and work ethics! Loved every minute of this reassembly! 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
So much excitement to watch this! If you only knew how much alike our tastes were, we'd be besties! :) Much Respect to what you do sir.
You got me with the intro. But I've been lookin forward to this for months and I'm so glad you've finally done it! Your content's quality progression has been so good and felt so natural its astounding! Samo teraj druze :)
btw since the new project's not a beemer it better be an alfa :DD
"We are going to be replacing the ENTIRE suspension, so we are going to start unbolting EVERYTHING!" I love Sreten.
He said overhauling not replacing - I very much like how he points out elements that can be reused
Hey man. New sub here. Dare I say it, but I'm not really a BMW guy, however, this series has been one of the best engine rebuilds I've ever seen. You're clean, methodical, and knowledgeable, and I've laughed out loud on several occasions. Looks like I'll be going through all of your videos! 🎉
What a great episode! The joy from success is noticable!😂 great work, Sreten! 💪💪💪
My favourite RUclips channel, love the details love the content and love to learn about the engines. Pure class ❤
Mad props to you for taking the effort and time to film you doing this hard work. Mad respect 😮
my 4 year old watched the whole engine assembly video and loves it
It should be showing in the cinema. 1 hour and 24 minutes of pure happenes!
Such a good job Sreten bro. So cool to see how excited you are when it started so well. And the thing didn't move a mm when running, how is it that smooth! Congratulations mate and thanks for bringing us along on your journey.
No words. Just appreciation. Great work there Sretten :) Wishing it works for you flawlessly for years to come :)
After a nice day wrenching on my Lexus, nothing quite satisfies the evening as much as a new episode from Sreten. Congratulations on getting the beast running! Looking forward to some technical Dyno sessions 😎
I dropped my drink when he said “make sure you put it out of gear “ before activating the winch :)
Some sort of pastry was in order for celebrating the first start. Great work, Sreten!
I just found this channel a few days ago and it’s quickly growing on me. I have a e46 330ci at home and have plans to give it an oem+ refresh. Merry Christmas my guy, you have some awesome cars 🎉
Congratulations 🎉🍾 what an excellent achievement. It was an absolute pleasure watching it come alive. Hands down on such enormous and tedious project.
Awesome, best content on RUclips, gods work
I would understand if someone thought that watching almost 90 minutes of a meticulous human messing with a BMW, sounds horrible. ..but to me it's massively satisfying to see things done the correct way. You even taking your time to clean where most people would have let the dirt stay. ..and the torque settings on every bolt. This is properly nerdy stuff. I don't even own a car, but i LOVE watching you work.
Hallelujah! The pinnacle of 2023! Great job, well done!
