How to Stay Cool on the Nürburgring - BMW E46 330i - Project Cologne: PT15
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 май 2024
- The track build continues with the BMW E46 330i 6-speed Touring. The last time we went to the Nürburgring, the engine oil was cooking so the first order of business is to install an oil cooler, as well as upgrade the front end to M3, brakes, spindles, wheel bearings, control arms, upgraded sway bars, etc... and then test it on the track!

As always - very nice video: :)
The further collaboration (especially for Project Rottweil) will be really "cool"! ;-)
Het Streten, I just want to say that I found your channel during my wife's cancer treatment and your long-form, in depth content really helped me get through some hard days and nights. Thank you for doing what you do and you've earned a loyal viewer. My wife is doing well now and kicked cancers ass btw!
Thank you! I'm glad to hear the channel was able to provide a distraction, and I'm even more happier to hear your wife kicked its ass! Give her a big hug from all of us here.
CONGRATS! much love from Maple syrup land (CA)
Nice one, happy to hear that bro. Wishing your wife a speedy recovery now :D
Fantastic news your wife is recovering ✅
Best wishes to your wife and you from Scotland.
Guess who's going to bed an hour later today... This guy. Love to see the best BMW RUclips channel back and hitting hard again. Hope the honey moon went in the best way possible.
Me
Me too
You mean the best RUclips channel period!
Guilty as charged 😆
me too lmao
He's back when the world needed him the most!
Gotta love the melodrama!
Hughe Jackman along with angry grinder finally back in action! 👍
at lunch, I told my colleagues abot this awesome chanel and how i get stuck for hours. they didn't understand the fun. So i started started to search for old alpinas that i cant afford and drank my coffee in silence.
Come on people, Streten works his butt off for our BMW loving pleasure. He's a married man now, and we the people need to do our part and let others know of this killer channel. He deserves at least 1 million subscribers. Please get the word out! Thank you
I see new M539 upload, I click, I watch, I like and comment. Streten is a true BM legend.
Driving has 100% improved!
I agree, no pro here but been to the ring a couple of times, fine lines and clean shifts aswell and I have a feeling it only gonna get better 😁
Not skipping ads to support the channel!
Cooooooming up....
Was never into wagons until I started watching your videos. Now, I want one.
Pagid, thank you for helping this man spread BMW RUclips excellence!
Please bring more old cars back to life! I miss those series
This is such a throwback to my E46 328i days - it is such a fantastic chassis, and you have done all the correct tasteful modifications. Perfect car for learning the ring! Soon i'll have to throw you the keys to my E46 M3...
Yes!!! Can't wait! You also gotta take project Cologne for a spin. :D
This will be interesting - an E46 M3 vs an E46 almost-M3!
Sreten is back...welcome back. Its a long wait for only best BMW restorations on youtube.
Hi, I am your subscriber in Taiwan! I just discovered your channel recently and have spent a month watching your various projects. As someone who is also engaged in car repair, what I see is not a fan who simply loves BMW, but a fan of cars. You have passion so you have a persistent attitude! I respect you!
(Sorry, my English is not very good, so I used Google Translate)
Cmon guys! We gotta get these likes on these videos up. We all know he deserves it!
This humble e46 has got to be one of my favorite projects that you have. Seeing the transformation from a base e46 to Msport and now a track monster has been great.
Watching you had made me so much more methodical when working on my cars (BMW's, naturally!), I had to replace a rear camber arm on my E90 and was cursing myself for not being able to torque it with the car on the ground 😂
Good to have you back. You are an international treasure. We need to keep you safe. Fit a roll cage on the E46.
Knowing his great taste in mods probably he will hide it under the pillar surroundings and under the ceiling
@@goose4150 Good luck with that 😬
Keep him safe from whom? Ze Germans?
What a weird thing to say dude. 🙄
noooo
Finally back!! Glad to see the mgic e39 Alpina. What a machine. Need to see videos of that machine.
After your last video with Mischa I started watching him, he is an incredible driver and appears to be a very levelheaded and humble man. I hope you both do more collaborating in future videos and I hope to see much more of your progress as a track driver.
Project Cologne, the longest running project on the channel and the best , e46' projects seem to be never ending for the lot of us owning one.
Finally... I had some trouble with my ISP over the last couple of days and I haven't been able to watch the video, but now thankfully I am able to, leaning back in my chair, getting a drink or two and I will thoroughly enjoy this one.
I like to wrap my antiroll bars in Teflon tape, it prevent the squeaks and reduces friction. Also I would check if the 330i master and m3 master cylinder are the same, I believe they are different, and if the pistons are different you might not get the right brake balance and your pedal might have a longer throw.
Another 10/10 vid Streten! Absolutely amazing work dude. You are helping so many people including me ❤
Sreten, i was so happy to see a new video, i was having withdraw. You are always so happy working on these car's, and your enthusiasm helps motivate me to keep pushing myself on my project. I have progressive MS, and it's causing muscle wasting on my entire left side, and i have to keep moving, because i don't want to be in a wheelchair. I get aggravated because i have nearly no feeling in my left hand, and trying to do something that requires two hands makes me want to lose my mind sometimes lol. I love working on this old 50's army jeep, and everything i do takes. about 4 or 5 time's longer to get it done than it used to, but i am thankful that i can still do it.
I like all the changes you are making, it cracked me up when you put the oil cooler on and said nice while laughing. Seeing an aluminum radiator in a BMW that you are working on seems strange, because you are always trying to make the car's completely oem, and are so detailed in the the thing's you do. Now that you are driving on the track, safety and good handling of the vehicle are what matter. You seem like your driving skills have improved, and you seem more confident, but when you build a car yourself, and know it's been done right, it makes a difference. G-d bless.
Hey! I'm sorry to hear that. I can't imagine how frustrating it is, but please fight it and keep at it! Satisfaction of a completed job always and hard work always prevail in the end.
Love to see more companies that support you!
I love that you used the same music as Major Hardware's: Fan Showdown - "Smoke Test" for the intro to a cooling episode.
So meta!
It’s a good day - my 24 year old e38 got a WOF so is legal for another year and Streten drops new content. Winning.
been a fan for years i stayed up and watched this vid with full excitement seen project cologne improve with each development and your driving skills as well gives me joy and a mission to work more on my project 335i N55 auto really enjoyed the video cant wait for more content from you stay awesome sreten 😁👍
I almost don't know what to say. What a video, what an excellent work on this car. And you, my friend, are excellent to. Man you are outstanding.
Even when not OEM, you still keep it classy :) Cool updates, thanks for super high quality content as always Sreten
got completely hypnotized while you were on the track! i think you've improved a lot too! you're the coolest car guy on youtube
Driving definitely improved and you can definitely see how much better the car is handling, good job 🙌🏼
I don't know if I'm just imagining this but the car looks to rev sooooo Smoothly as you lap the ring. Love the video!
Wow, massive improvement from last time, a lot more confident looking in your steering wheel and overall your "dance" with hands and feet is waaay more coordinated and natural looking. 🎉🎉
100% giving the like bottom a press. 10/10 as always. Mechanic tech myself loving your always thoughtful way of making things work and stay working.
The legend is back…
Your driving skills are nearly as good as your mechanical skills well done sir 👏
Your Spanish is great, man! 😎 in no time you’ll be reading, speaking, and writing it like a pro 👌🏼 can’t wait to see more power on this beast so everyone on the ‘Ring will see a flying shoe (or chancla! Lol) saludos desde Los Angeles 🌴
A nice custom M539 livery would make a nice future episode on this series!
Sreten few years ago:
"Noo! Gotta keep it oem! Parts from BMW only or OEM!"
Sreten now:
**Cutting plastics, using zipties **#gruzstyle** and installing one thousand mods to his wagon**
I absolutely love it that you started modyfing those cars! This is best part of owning car that suit YOUR needs and not worrying what purists has to say.
Also really nice you find Gauge.S useful - this is what I wanted people to use it on their OEM+ daily/track day cars! Hope we will manage do get overlay done for next video!
Seeing the old dial cluster with the fuel economy gauge is epic. Analogue dials!
I drove an M5 from Padua to Welsberg and had the time of my life. Regardless of the preventive maintenance a BMW requires, it's absolutely worth it.
Babe wake up, new project cologne episode dropped
A Sreten upload makes everyday so much better! Helps me through a rough patch, and the dream of owning an E31 one day is still there. Thanks again for the uploads, quality and a sense of humor.
Still the best around on RUclips in my eyes, followed you since the early videos and will be a lifetime follower.
Keep ‘em coming! Regards from Norway!
Next level of driving and video creation reached. Excellent work.
So good to have you back, hope the honeymoon was great! This is giving me great motivation for my e21 project.. thank you as always!
genius idea about getting the driving sim! i love this car and was really getting into the driving segment! nice work!
I think that helped getting the car to grip on the curves at the limit, with the tire screeching a little 👍
Love the Project Cologne, With every video it just gets better. Your driving on the 'Ring has also gotten better since the last time you were out with Misha. Well done man! Keep the solid content coming. Can't wait.
Impressive upgrades on the E46 330i Touring bringing it ever closer to M Class. Cooler oil and beefier sway bars etc. are huge advantages Plus you're track experience is making lapping of Porsches on the Nurburgring even easier. Congratulations!
Also, loved the low level commentary at the end, just pure race track sounds😊
Pure feast for our eyes and hears, Thanks for the perfection.
Sreten, This is absolutely without a doubt the best end to a looooong work week at the Ring!!! Well done on the upgrades. Another spectacular episode!!!
Gooood stuff Sreten! Tip from N old racing mechanic: spiral wrap the braided oil cooler hoses for extra protection.. The abrasive mesh will eat trough anything 😅🙏
Love seeing you work, you're passion comes across the camera.
Sreten Verstappen! That man can drive
Sreten, I gotta say I really look up to you and your extremely methodical way of working and learning track driving. I naturally am basically the opposite of that and I beat myself up for it. But - every time I work on something - cars or my day to day job I try to implement your strategies and slowly improve! :) Each video is a reminder to try harder :)
The gap between Sreten from the lap of Project Dubai and this lap of Project Cologne is the same gap between Yuji Ide and Kimi Raikonnen 🤣🤣
Awesome!
oh yea baby evening sorted :)
I can see your gear change has improved enormously. Very smooth.
Nice to see you improve driving the ring! What a perfect build! I hope you enjoyed it so like me!
Greets from the Netherlands
So great Sreten, I always look forward to your episodes. Love this car and your driving is getting much better. Keep up the great work. 👍
This channel has everything: dogs, old BMWs. That’s it. All you need for a happy life 🤌🏻
SO glad another video is up! YAY!
The sound of that M54 is amazing.
Yes you did improve your driving, smoother!!
Great accomplishment for a mechanic/driver to test his skills on the track. Great content and information for the BM enthusiasts 👍🏼
Great technical contents as always. Enjoy the driver development journey, it's so rewarding and will bring more and more enjoyment.
Always a joy to see you work on these cars
Epic as always. Keep up the good work!
Hey sten I had seen this article and thought it was something you had done before ( put an m5 engine in an 850) going through all your 850 restoration videos now just thought I’d put the article there in case I lost it , keep up the good work and great videos 👍🏿
Awesome video. You’re a great driver! It’s crazy how good SIMs are nowadays to teach you how to drive.
"with the help of Misha" hahah I knew he'd be in this video somehow when I saw Nürburgring.
Sucks he couldn't drive it, but I'm sure it will happen in the future!
this car looks beautiful. the color is amazing
I like the intro and the music. Very nice and relaxing.
Beautiful onboard views, Sreten! Skills are improving pretty much every lap, very nice! Smooth is fast 👍
One of the best channels on youtube. Funny not cringey, detailed yet quick and engaging. Dont change anything dude!
Awesome upgrades, Epic content as always. Enjoyed watching Streten, TY for the upload.
Man that gear shift is butter smooth 👌 Nicely done Sreten!
Good to see you enjoying the fruits of your labours at last.
Top notch work as always Sreten and happy to see you enjoy the car!
My e46 323ci is still standing still in my garage. This series is giving me the motivation to do some much needed repairs!
Your steering inputs are better and more fluid, so the car is transitioning better between corners. Progress!
some very nice track footage - thanks!
Absolutely brilliant stuff!! Loved the track laps at the end and can't wait to sort out my E46 330ci, so I can join you!
Great job on the upgrades! I can tell you are getting better at driving the course!
I love old BMWs and love the Nürburgring. Streten living the life
Really Nice driving, as a fellow E46 Touring Driver is nice to see someone using it as a ring tool.
Much awaited, much appreciated, excellent insights, and work as always.
With every episode i want more and more, its enjoyable because i have 05 330d e46 touring project, and i have fiited m pack and istalled sport suspesion with the help of your videos thank you Streten for being awsome.
Nice to see you back after a well deserved break and enjoying your Dream Car! 💪
Because it's all about driving the car and not let it sit in the collection.
The dilemmas you must have by now, when going for a drive!! And so many great cars to Choose Between!! 😂
Stay safe on the Ring please. ❤
Thank you, you've just helped me add to my lift of upgrade to my e46 M3
What a perfect daily this is too. Practical, fun, engaging and analog but not uncomfortable.
by far the best youtuber i have ever seen. love the content brother.
The knowledge, editing and so much more makes me wish I still had my German spec E46. Guten twist.
Hey! Thanks for new Content. More importantly: I hope you had a fantastic trip/vacation with your wife. Quality time with your beloved ones is without substitute.
Great job, Boss! I feel happy when I see the work done perfectly. Maszyna gwizda, tylko operator p... quality of car is exellent , nothing to say. God bless you, Polska daje propsy 🤛👍
Great to have you back!!!
