This channel feels original in the sea of RUclips VPN advertisements, Manscaping products, empty daily vlogs, and screen protector ads. It's actual hands-on automotive content not advertising the newest fad. Skill at work, a discernible skill with results vs running a clickbait marketing machine for money and views. I like it, I wish more would stay like this or go back to this type of content.
Seriously. I'd love if there were similar artisan RUclipsrs working on Audis, Mercedes, or Porsches with half the level of detail or humor.
excactly
Thank you very much, this is speaks outty my soul
Liqui moly as a sponsor is not that bad because that stuff actually goes in the car he is working on. But all thr sponsors that have zero to do with the cars feels so desperate and cheap to me. Like giving up on the passion for cars and selling the soul to the empty shell product placement pushers. Keep it up with the BMW's, your videos keep me motivated with my old german crap called 1980's Opels :P
@@QuickQuips Sounds like you'd enjoy Aaron Cake then. His current project is a 1976 Mazda RX-5 Cosmo which is being given an impressive overhaul with some fantastic DIY ranging from a Megasquirt MS3-Pro install, fabricating circuit boards for all sorts of sorcery, all the way up to a Jedi-inspired power lock system and E90 BMW 3-series seats. And plenty of "that's what she said" moments.

Next episode: Sreten consults an engineering firm and gets a dipstick retrofitted…….
Sorry I'm booked for the next few weeks with Eunos Cosmo stuff. But I already made a dipstick retrofit for E38 transmissions... :D
🤣😂🤣
Does TUV allow a conversion to manual transmission? It's fun watching you make sarcastic comments while wrenching, and then putting the car thru it's paces ON THE AUTOBAHN
I had my BMW dealer do mine, they did so gladly after warning me it would void the warranty (at the time it was a new car) I can reliably report none of its subsequent warranty claims and fiscal outlays were caused by having a dipstick....
@@brucehauser6826 Seriously? You can actually retrofit one?
40:47 Traction control trigger at 280km/h round a corner. Mental!
Yup that was scary.
I noticed that as well, would be interesting to find out if our boy felt anything in the cabin, or was it just a glitch in the matrix.
could've been caused by the bumps. I get the TC light sometimes on speedbumps
Yep it was the bumps. Scary
My 520d triggers it going 20 kmh around a corner 😆😆
"Oh look it's Clarkson" in the tractor. Witty as well, more talented than most, with a great taste in cars. Entertainment pur!
It's always surreal to watch these videos. I don't even wash my cars and I beat them to death. They're for moving from point A to B as efficiently as possible.
Yeah but that’s not really an excuse to be looking this cute.
Sorry but that has to be said.
Shorts next time maybe?
The moment you realise as a German: not everyone can test their car's topspeed by driving on a well maintained public road.
Our Autobahn is really the envy of the world!
Oh yes, in Poland we can drive 140kmh max. This is so sad.
As a Dutchman, living 15 Km from the German border, I can drive 100 Km/H during the day and 130 Km/H during the night. And speeding ticket prices are INSANE over here! Thankfully Germany is so close to me ... I like Germany for a multitude of reasons, legal Autobahn speeds being only one of them. Schönes Wochenende!
BTW, this Fünfer is the last truly beautiful 5 series in my opinion. Long ago I drove an E32 735i and an E38 730i ... very fond memories.
I hope it stays that way 🙏🏻
You forgot the word "legally" at the end of your sentence! :)
Yes but tuv is the downside
Got to admit, no hyperbole there - that sound from a big 4-door saloon, the >>6500 RPM howl, is insane. Thanks for the vicarious thrill.
Sreten: 260 in a corner, how bout' that?
ESP flashing like a christmas tree: Am I a joke to you?
I noticed that too! I guess the GoPro was blocking his view.
I saw that too! Started to sweat a bit.
thats why stability system is there.
saw that blinking light as well... scared the s**t out of me. Once had this at comparably modest 180 in a curve. Not nice to realize that a bit of electronics just saved my life that I otherwise might have lost
the fact tho that it cut in so subtly so sweetly he didnt even kno and felt comfy and confident af just cruising thru that turn at 260..
what a testament to the car and to ///m's tuning of the esc
The DSC sensor turning on when traveling 270 kmph gave me chills its a scary thing !!
He needs an alignment, that’s why
Congratulations on being one of a handful of people on the planet known to have successfully serviced the S85 V10 rod bearings. Too often we hear about these engines self destructing due to this known flaw in the S85's. Even the Car Ninja, Jonny, a very skilled BMW specialist wasn't able to successfully repair JRGO's S85-powered M6. Huge props to getting this car back on the road. I still long for more E32 content, or even some work on the E21 3 series.
Yeah. Jonhny is great but still things didn't went his way. This channel is like no other and having the autoban is just a german thing.
How difficult was it to follow instructions?
It’s a slightly different situation with JR’s M6. That one already had bearing failure, so surfaces were probably already damaged. This one was done preventatively so presumably the crank and rods were still in good shape.
You don’t know what you are talking about... There are quite a few shops that can easily do the rod bearings on the e85 just as long as it hasn't slipped a bearing yet because the owner waited to long to service it
@@chriskeiser5809 in that video they said the crank wasn't damaged. the reason they scrapped the car was because of the vanos pump he said. he also suspected the cam bearings being eaten by all the metal floating around in the engine.
'c o m m i n g u p" Thats how you know its gonna be good
Sreten, I'd even watch a 2 hrs long episode! This serie is addicting!
The M5 looks gorgeous 👌
Genau!
Man, I love watching your content. Every time you upload a video me and my father gather around my television and watch your latest video. Me and my father also love how you use OEM parts and not aftermarket ones, (like the number plate lights on this video). You have also made me want to learn more metric and fly to Germany to experience the Autobahn. Long live your content!
That's awesome to hear. Thank you!
good afternoon, I have been following you for a long time, I wanted to know the manual transmission article, can you tell me which one?)
What was a big lesson for me in all your videos, is the "never start an engine that sits for years" before some basic maintainance - unlike others. And that you clean behind everytime you remove something :) :)
Yeah same to me. When I sometimes see a Video "barn find, first start", I never click on that. It hurts seeing so much stupidity doing with great cars...
Seriously. Every time I see a "hasn't run in x years!" video I just cringe and think "Sreten wouldn't do that."
U got to be luckiest guy in the world. U literally driving every BMWs of my dreams. Maybe E46 M3 is missing, but I'm sure u will take care of that 😏💙

perfect old school, well produced, car/bmw enthusiast the video. Thank you for your effort to produce such great experience reports and projects. In short: I am a simple man. I see a new notification from m539 restorations - I watch
Oh the sound of that sweet V10 piercing the German countryside air. A few hundred years ago the M5 would’ve looked and sounded so futuristic and eerie. Passing by at 300+ kmh would make anyone believe it was something from a different universe. The sound we have grown to love would spook anyone of that era just because of the sheer volume. What a time to be alive.
"Warning for headphones users" means I'm turning the sound up. I wanna hear the glorious V10
It should have said: put on headphones now
Glorious sound....
yes i thought to myself: "warning of what? risk of eargasm?"
Traction control kicked in at 280. What a powerful machine!
Im sure thatll be stability control, no chance it had wheelspin at 280
@@matteightytwo shurly its the stability controll. If you wanna have wheelspin >250 km/h you need to turbocharge or supercharge this beast.
@@Specterkulaer Steam locomotives can do that at 150 km/h.
NOT NICE when that happends .... train catastrophe or a very expensive repair.
This happends if the fireman was to enthusiastic with the feed water and so suffered a to-high water level - solid water in the transport pipe together with steam and which then comes to the overheater.. and instantly evaporates into steam
@@TheStefanskoglund1 I was about to chime in on this thread, but your weird train comment made me forget mine...
@@allertschallenberg1857 something like that has shall we say a very small contact surface ... what happends if the developed power raises suddenly 20-30 %... A car cant really do so.
So i was a bit off topic...
After years of searching, I feel like this is the best car channel in RUclips! Thank you for that.
I would be really interested to learn more about tools that you use to diagnose and solve codes from cars. I hope you will show little bit that side also in upcoming videos.
Sreten, you have a lot to answer for. After a lifetime running Jaguars, and having watched all of your videos, I have today bought my first BMW. You wouldn't like it because it's got a tractor engine (535D) but I'm blown away by it. Thank you so much for your channel. It is high quality content delivered in an engaging style. Long may you, and it, prosper.
I'm on my second 535d after the first was rear-ended by an idiot in a rental van... It really is an awesome machine and although it doesn't rev to 8000 RPM and sound like the E60 M5, it has its own, purposeful soundtrack which I really like. I'm pretty sure any time I lose while driving against an M5 I would make up by making fewer refuelling stops! 😂
You can see my first 535d from purchase to accident, subsequent repair and sale here: meerkats.uk.com/log-book
Been following you since the very beginning. Never skipped a minute or video. Keep it up man! Loved your story of how you traveled and learned your way up of cars unexpectedly.
BMW actually made a new sunroof seal for e60 (new parts number). The new seal is a bit thicker than the original one. I changed the seal on my M5 and it made a big difference. Much quieter. Of course, I would rather not have the sunroof.
To add on to this, also make sure the glass is properly adjusted (about 1mm low in the front, 1mm high in the back) and that the seal is lubricated.
I puked when I saw he took advantage of the roof and bullied it next second. For me a BMW without sunroof is no bmw. Absolutely hate those stupid flat roofs.
@@ohnename1358 well he had no acand the reason he dislikes them is for rust reasons. I get it, i dont own a sunroof either but i like having a quiet car with more headroom. Also no sun blinding you. Ik you can pull the cover but then why have a sunroof at all :P
@@ohnename1358 with ac who needs a sunroof anyway?
Do you have the Parts Number? Becouse the Sunroof on my e60 ist loud as Hell too.,
Was ist difficult to change the Seal?
Ya know, we kind of have an autoban here in SoCal… sometimes people drive at top speed on the i10 between LA and Phoenix or the i15 between LA and Vegas. However, I have never in my life done such a thing. 😏
Zzyzx
the 15 doesn't go thru LA you dummy. Also its not possible to drive at top speed on either highway cause the traffic is always so fucking terrible. Only at night maybe when traffic is low but even then, the 10 freeway is so bumpy and total shit
I think Alex Roy mentioned this road on Vinwiki, he had borrowed a Renntech CL600 and drove pedal to the metal, almost 200mph.
I've used i5 south as an Autobahn in the past ))). Did a nightly top speed run in an e65 back in 07 I think... Also, i80 on the salt flat as you pull in to Utah - perfect for top speed runs, especially early in the morning when it's empty.
@@Arun999 here in Sacramento the speed limit might as well be 95... Even through it says 65. It's almost like people flip that first number in their heads )))
The german accent. The intro. Great editing. Especially the outro music. Absolutely love watching this guy, whilst enjoying a good cup of coffee.
V10 sounds amazing,
Carry on putting such a great content. Farmer 🚜 Clarkson moved out of the way 🤣 couldn't stop laughing. Thanks

You guys are my favourite automotive channels fr
I like lots of things about your videos, Sreten. Frankly, I am amazed by your proficiency in the English language, your large vocabulary, and ability to joke and comment on your actions. This is hard to do well when English is not one's first language. I was also amazed by the interaction of you and the Dane when buying his BMW, all in English. Vielen dank!
As a fellow metric user, the imperial system means nothing to me as well! Thank you for saving my midsummer while my family and friends get stupidly drunk and convert themselves into imperial systems. Cheers from Sweden!
I would definitely order those M539 Restorations license plate holders. After all this channel is so great and informative you deserve all the views in the world! :)
Used to be stationed in Augsburg, traveled up to Wurzburg from A8 up to A7 - My poor Saturn used to chug at 120MPH\ 190Km, and get its doors constantly blown off by BMWs, Merc-sleds, and the occasional Italian rocket. Loved every moment. Popping out of a tunnel near Crailsheim was a treat.
Taught the wife how to drive fast on those highways. She grew to love it...
I miss them days so.....
So glad to have stumbled across your channel. Your mechanical skills, humor, filming techniques, and passion for doing it right make it one of the best I have viewed.
Haha , loved the comment about Clarkson and the tractor, mint 🤣
13:36 "Direction no need for that, We men we know everything" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Congratulation my friend
Peace on you, from Saudi Arabia
Assalamu alaikum
Only just started watching you... don't know why I haven't seen it before, but now I have thumbs up. Your very entertaining and down to earth with your tutorial and practical advice. So keep up the good work please.
The work you have done to this car is absolutely impeccable. You should be seriously proud, that’s a car to keep forever.
Project Raleigh is how I found your channel. I've always loved BMWs, and have always had an odd fascination with 6-speed E60s. Finding a channel that went in-depth on one of these cars was amazing, and made your channel one of my favorites, along with watching your other series. Few videos make me click faster than M539.
I had a 545i E60 and did a top speed run in the middle of the night in Death Valley…this brings back great memories…now I want an E60 M6 👍
E63 M6 😇
From what I understand most are governored at 150-155 over here. Did you disable that so it would go 180+?
And now you know why people who have owned this car, absolutely love them. I have owned a one for 3 yrs now and i will never sell it. That sound and the way it drives is so unique, I have never felt anything like it. I'm so happy for you man!
Got to admit ive felt goosebumps and a weird smile on my face showed, eyes got watery when I heard that V10. Sounds so amazing. LOVE IT!
A new way to break-in new piston rod bearings: test the top speed in Autobahn.
No. Nothing new... there were always two ways... one is the easy be gentle and the other one is the one that is used by motorbike builders and its rather the hard way of checking if it is good. As we can see he knows both ways as he say he is going to take it easy and there you go 300
I remember seeing this on craigslist and thinking even at $5000, I pity the person that buys this car. So great to see it back on the road in it's full glory.
Full ? With Sreten it is not full glory yet...
5000 dollar? For real?
@@Stephano83 yes that's for how much he bought it, but he has spent another 8-9k in repairs
He said he paid $6000 for it.

I'm convinced this is the best and funniest RUclips channel
Well done, as a proud owner of a E60 M5 I really enjoyed watching this.
It feels good knowing as a Dutchmen that I can drive a few 100 km and also experience the magnificent glory of the Autobahn. I still haven’t driven my car at top speed. I think I should take a trip some time. 😆🏆🌷
I love the channel and thank you for the video.
This guy is way better than Johnny the car ninja… everything he does is so methodical
This is the best episode ever !!! Good job fixing and get the E60 M5 running worth every efforts you putting in. E60 is a great car, I still drive my 16 years old E60 and loving it everyday. But the V10 M5 is way more better. Can't wait for the next episode. Keep it going !!!
I really enjoy your subtle humor and laidback personality. Cant get enough of your very informative and entertaining videos. I dream to hang out with you and learn from you about cars.
Cheers from Finland!
I've had that chirping sound from the blower on my e39 as well, especially in curves. Some things are meant to be, even over generations...
I've had it on my Audi. But usually when braking. Cheap replacement from the scrapyard and happy times
I was gonna say the same thing. The chirp sound goes louder especially on e39 when you steer right. Don’t know what’s the connection between them!
Yeah, that's the bearings in the blower motor failing. I replaced my E39's blower fan to solve the issue. I went for an Genuine BMW part (valeo) because I didn't want to do it twice.
I don't know why but blower motors on BMW's go bad and squeak very much
@@thomaspotkamp6768 It's extraordinarily annoying. Happened to all 4 of my high mileage E39s.
You worked on the car so of course it will passe TÜV inspection, your cars are almost factory new!
Keep up the good work!!
Congrats for finally having it on the road 😊. Sound is insane, love it! Have a nice weekend.
Without a doubt the best motor RUclipsr on the net
Just think in five years time when all there is are electric motors, these videos will be a testament of the very essence of driving !
Awesome to see this car on the road, at long last. Happy motoring ahead my friend! Brilliant video as always. Whispering "coming up" - very dramatic! :)

You live in Germany, when you‘re noticing your DSC lights up at 280 km/h while cornering.
What timestamp? Cant find it :(
Edit: 40:50
This is a Street Legal F1 car!!
While I disagree with you on the looks, as the car was never good looking and it has neither improved or worsened with age (to me), it is certainly a masterpiece of a car and that engine is just insane. That noise is beautiful! Congratulations on the restoration and keep on enjoying that car, as it should be. I'm glad you gave it a home and restored it to its glory.
I like it very much that you clean everything before installing new parts. Makes it neat and the car rewards you for it 😀.

It better not be followed with "Join the give away now". I just hate the sell/giveaway concept
If I had put that much time & effort into a car like this I don’t think I could bring myself to sell it
For this car, it's appropriate. Not everyone is financially or mechanically equipped to maintain this particular type of vehicle.
If he gets hints of an M1 being available .... i wonder if the e60 wouldnt be sold immediately.

This car is just perfect. I'm so happy you got and repaired it to it's former glory. When are you planning to visit Nordschleife with this?
Awesome job man, was following this project from Day 1, amazing first Autobahn run here. Enjoy racking up the miles!
The idling and first rpm are a touch agricultural but from that until redline, the car is a dream. What a machine. Long live autobahn!!
It will do 330 if you dont have limiter :P , check with GPS because even you did 300 you might be going 280 and hitting limiter - cluster lies.
I did 330 but my was chiptunned for some extra saus ;)
07:19 that's how you spot a proper auto enthusiast. I was sharing your joy too, it passed it passed wohoo! :P
This is one of those cars you just have to experience to understand. I didn't like them until I drove one. When I did all I wanted to do was keep driving! The soundtrack alone is worth the price of admission. 2 thumbs way to 👍👍
That exhaust note is glorious well done as always on the refurbished project Raleigh
"Common out with your hands up" 😂
got me twice :D
*come on out*
I once had a tyre blow out at 115 kph. I can’t imagine what would happen at those speeds. 😲
I developed a loyalty with Michelin its 55 trouble free years.
The winter tyres are more comfy than the standard tyres i experienced on other cars i ‘had’ to drive.
Professional or private.
I never ever drove mine until the law told me they were unsafe!
That V10 sound is now my alarm. Never been late to work since it changed it.
When you said about the chirping sound from the dash I immediately shouted "blower motor!" because my E63 645Ci does the exact same thing at low fan speeds. Love the M5 - off to test drive one tomorrow... whoops, make that today!
