I'm fortunate enough to call Sreten a very good friend of mine and want to let everyone here know that he's exactly like you see it in every video: a passionate car enthusiast, extremely skilled mechanic and most importantly a generous and good human being!
99% why his videos are so great. tell him i said hi.
Are you a small white dog with a misfire? 😂
Pozdrav Sretenu iz Mostara...Cevapi kada dodje😊
You forgot to add, a gifted person! How he is able to do these projects, baffles me!
Make it 101% @@breadfishfishfsifhis
So happy to see you receive the Michelin sponsorship!
Huge deal!
This guy just exudes excellence. And passion for European cars.
Wish i had this sponsorship when replacing the rear 19" 305/30 PS4S's on my 911! Well earned :)
🤔🤔🤔happy Michelin……🧐mahhhhh
Getting sponsorship of a product you already use and love is hitting the jackpot
Sreten you are the only person mad enough to try to fix a broken Maserati all by yourself. And the fact you actually did it proves once again that you are the king of leaky machines!!
The man is really really good. A master mechanic.
From Miserati to Maserati!
😂😂😂
aand now borkerati .. =(
And back again.
You can really tell that this thing wants to live! Started on the button and sounds so quiet and smooth. Let's not forget this is a high performance engine from Ferrari, the fact that has 300.000km and still going strong is shows good build quality!
It's absolutely impressive!
Eres un crack
Right yes, amazing build quality, if you ignore, the turbos, timing chain, guides, VVT actuators, tensioners, starter motor, coolant hoses, vacuum lines... Then i guess .. yea!
@@M539Restorations it's not really very impressive actually
@@clonetrooper576 Just name 1 (one) high performance, direct injection, twin turbo V8, that does not need major work and several rebuilds to even reach 300.000 km.
I'll be waiting...
Those turbo's are looking better than new. Shout out to the rebuilders!
Thank you very much for appreciating our work!:)
*turbos
@@topmar_motorworks poland strong! :) fajnie ze tyle naszych firm jest na wysokiem poziomie, ze Sreten az bliżej nie ma sensu szukac
For being an Italian product, you really have to give props to Maserati/Ferrari that this engine is capable of 300,000+ km. It sounded flawless on first start up!
This a joke right?,my father's 1992 biturbo engine did 330.000km without any problems...my alfa romeo gt did 280.000km without problems.The only broken engine I have had is a BMW 2.5 TD in my range rover p38...Italians make very good engines.DTM 1993 champions and all the Ferrari wins in F1.
No need to be condescending towards Italian engineering
I dunno how or why I started watching you, I don't work on cars, I don't drive cars, I barely even know what a car is. But I've watched almost every video and now I can't get enough. I love watching people fix things, and this is like, the pinnacle of repair and restoration.
Agree, I drive cars, but know only how to replace cosmetic parts. This guy is amazing, videos are super watchable and I love the humour!
Words cannot describe the love i have for this channel. It's just too satisfying to see a project, when everything is done properly and the car come back to life.
Actually gives me hope for the future. So many youngsters will watch and learn that so much possible. Attention to detail, passion, resilience, humour. All great qualities in a Sreten-shaped bundle.
This channel is a gem and has been since the start! Sreten's way of doing things is just perfect.
I have the exact same car with the exact same color combination. 2014 QP GTS Blu Passione with Blue/Beige two tone interior. I've been a subscriber of the channel almost from the beginning and this is so satisfying to see Sreten works on the same car as mine.
This car is so underrated imo. Powertrain is very reliable if you keep the turbochargers not overheating. F154 V8 TT engine with ZF 8 Speed is probably the most reliable powertrain from Maranello.
Mine has only 90,000 miles and I've been using it as a family car but I am enjoying every mile every day. It just gives you a smile with the sport mode sound that pops and bubbles, makes blow off noises.
Very looking forward to your next episode with your driving experience!
Thank you for chiming in! I honestly can't wait to drive it properly for the first time. Credit where it's due, Ferrari/Maserati built a high performance engine that's still going strong with perfect compression after 301k kilometers! It's just impressive.
@@M539Restorations Damn shame Stellantis is such a PITA to deal with parts wise.
liquidmolly and michelin as sponsers, that's pretty awesome. Well deserved.
I hope everyone watching this appreciates the filming quality. It is truly amazing. I think its a very cool project. Even if this was a Lexus, I'd still watch with the same interest.
What an idea!! Fixing a lexus would be fun
@@amoghavarshamurthynot much to fix haha
@@dominic7114 Yeah I was gonna say, that would be a short video.
Nice would love to see a 911 on your channel, but those this are too expensive but you never know. Can’t wait for the E31 episode and congrats on the new sponsorship🎉
I have actually rebuilt a 911 before, they are suprisingly not that difficult, just expensive and time consuming. Not to mention notorious for IMS bearing failures.
Yeah porsche would be my dream, totally different from BMW but still german so should be quite easy to get the parts. Would be so much fun to see him branch out while also doing the BMW's.
Congrats Sreten having Michelin on board from now on! You worked hard and this is the price 😁 As for Quattrobroken, it has a nice sound!!
It drives like a dream, I know because I have one. Once he gets it out - the sound really comes to life… ..and he will never sell it…
An M539 video! Nothing else is getting done until I've seen this!
One of the best channels on here. Highly skilled mechanic, who's enthusiasm shines through every single time. Great channel Sreten. Continued good health to you and your family.
Thank you!
@@M539Restorations Michelin is with you for Life, 2 Kings of Quality!
So happy this has gone according to plan. Can't wait for the Project Marseille episode!
The most impressive part is finding the spare parts that you need in order to fix things
Congratulations newly minted Ferrari Technician! And also on your Michelin sponsorship!
Congratulations on Michelin sponsorship, you deserve it Sreten! You are living our Balkan dreams, much love.
I'm enjoying this build as much as any of your other builds - branching out to other makes is a win in my book!
Huge congrats on the Michelin sponsorship! The best of the best for the best of the best! You deserve it! And Michelin will never regret it! Cheers, my friend!
Huge congratulations on reaching this step! I must admit I had my doubts with how difficult it had been until this point, but you pulled through in the end. And what a joy to hear it running so damn smooth!
What a guy Streten is! The Attention to detail in everything he touches is Amazing! Everything that has purpose, whether it be a clip, screw, bolt, bracket, washer etc, is meticulously put back in exactly is was intended. Clips that hold pipes in position, go back to factory or better! Theirs no one out there, that can compare to Streten, in the way things are done, not only correctly but better! Keep up the good work Streten. It's brilliant when you get home and I see you've dropped a new video, Thank you, 28mins of destress! 👏
Words cannot express how much I love getting faded and binge-watching these
You are a national treasure Sreten! Would be fun to see you maybe try a Saab sometime🇸🇪❤️
Older saab with true saab tech would be actually interesting. Like classic 900 Aero or something similar.
deep respect for one of the best mechanics of the western hemisphere!! 💪👍
I'm so glad I get to watch you work on cars when I cannot. Thanks so much.
I always knew this engine was going to be a gem and run great again.
300K kilometers on the block and still no significant wear on the cillinders, crankshaft etc.
Ofcourse also deu to Stretens great work!
The smooth running after the first start is a sign it will do a nother 300K..
Good Job!👍🏽
Top Mar really did a great job on those turbos
I have been following you for years and you never fail to impress! It has been a joy to follow you and watch this channels content development. I am obviously not alone as your sponsors are always escallating, hence, Michelin coming on board! KUDO'S from across the pond!
Nice...
So next project Alfa 156 GTA?
If there’s ever a TH-camr that deserves more than double his current subscriber count it’s this one.
We need a V8 comparison of the e39 the e92 and the quattroporte!
Congratulations on the sponsorship. Well deserved!
Bloody hell, that sounds like a proper exotic, fantastic. Love this series, a refreshing change of pace.
I can understand the breaks you take so regularly. The amount of work that goes into this behind the scenes must be tremendous. Just to source all the parts, deal with all the vendors, shipping, reading all the manuals and taking all the measurements...you're a machine Sreten
This is absolutely cruel Sreten. Its a 9:30 AM on a Friday and I have to do a full day of work until I can watch this.
I will love it for sure, but still. Cruel, cruel, cruel. Love ya ❤
You are truly a great mechanic, wow and attention to detail, if all mechanics were like you it would be great 👍, thanks
M539 the LEGEND STRIKES AGAIN! 🎉
This came at the perfect time
I've had a Maserati back in the 1990s and it was a hoot to drive. The power and handling were great. It was reliable and exciting to drive. I have driven it many times from San Diego to San Francisco many times without problems.
There is nothing better than an upload from you!
Congrats on the sponsorship! Nice work on the Maser too, so nice to hear that beautiful exhaust note again and see it back on the road as she deserves.
Amazing job, now running for another 300k km
4:46 Having studs to help aligning the transmission instead of bolts is so much nicer. Wish more manufacturers do this...
Give this man a broken car and he will never give up on fixing it :D Props man, great series, as always!
I know literally nothing about cars, but Stretan has me hooked on every one of his videos, which I think says it all really and how good he truly is at what he does.
I bet you learn something
Congrats Streten for the Italian endeavour, see you soon working on our beloved Bayern brand. Love from 🇬🇷
Mutsi. The real star of M539 and the only reason you have so many subs. We want more Mutsi.
I'm joking BTW. but we do want more Mutsi.
MUTSI For Shop Manager!
Very, very happy for you and bless the person at Michelin who gave you a helping hand (a big hand at that).
I agree, NO turbos and preferably only one cylinder bank.
A dog misfires 😂😂😂😂😂
Just a small one (both the dog and the misfire).
Just wanted to say I very much appreciate seeing you struggle-not schadenfreude, but a mutual feeling of frustration for stupid cars with stupid designs that are way more difficult than necessary to repair. I have an M3 like the one you drove LA to SB and work on a lot of friends cars-and often time am looking at something and I quote you saying “WHY would they put it THERE!?!???” 😂 great videos.
Sreten -- WOW. Incroyable! You have been victorious over the diabolical Maserati !!! So, watching your videos reminds me of an observation I've repeatedly made (across my 75 years!!!) -- about technology. Seeing this engine rebuild shows the DECADES of refinements that have gone into making petrol engines work well. So -- have you ever seen or used an IBM "Selectric" typewriter? (the one using a spherical ball of type, not "keys?") After decades of development, IBM TOTALLY perfected the typewriter -- only to have it almost instantly replaced by computer word processors. This video reminds me of THAT -- for, now that gasoline auto engines are so refined -- POOF -- they ARE likely to be replaced!!! (EVs? Hydrogen? Something else? WOW). C'est la vie!
Maserati does sound well. 🔥
Congrats on the new channel supporter (Michelin) you deserve it!
They are investing in the best automotive channel on TH-cam so it’s a win win! Great job on the car too!!
Sounds really great, love the way it revs!! Congrats for new Michelin partner! 🤌
I'm not proud to say that but at the moment the Quattroporte series is the most exciting. It's so cool to watch you learn new skills and succeed.
quattro-broken had me rolling on the floor laughing
I think I have seen submarines with fewer hoses and lines and cables and …. As always you did it. After these few years of watching, still amazed at your attention to detail!
You know I am watching your video instead of the live 24H LeMans, right?
Man the work you have done is incredible, at the first start the engine immediately runs and sounds so good! Sponsorization by Michelin is what this channel absolutely deserve. Can't wait to see next episode on this car!
Incredible workmanship as always! That engine is now so smooth and sounds fantastic! Looking forward to #3.
Sreten thank you so much for continuing to give us outstanding,educational,inspiring and funny content 👍👍🇬🇧
Congrats on the Michelin sponsorship! You deserve it!
Me with a Alfa Romeo heart love this Maserati content!❤
Congratulations on the sponsorship! I just bought a set of Michelins two days ago. I think you deserve partial credit somehow.
Must admit, this guy in Frankfurt is the most entertaining engineer - ever! EVER!
You should do more comparisons between BMW's and other cars you restore. It is really interesting part to see and hear your thoughts and experiences!
Michelin sponsorship, bloody awesome but you do deserve it because your work is some of the finest ive seen👌👍
Puts into a great perspective how you started with oil changes in a random garage and ended up being so good at what you are doing that you can take something you have never seen, properly review the tech docs and end up fixing such a complicated system.
You should be proud of yourself for that, Sreten! While I prefer seeing BMWs here, this was a nice refreshment and hopefully it will lure in some non-BMW enthusiasts (who will eventually probably become BMW enthusiasts) to the channel.
Kudos, great content as usual! :D
Greetings from Ireland . I'm new to your channel & I love " from afar " the skill you have to Attempt this project . Blown away at the successful finish & hear the engine run .
This was very entertaining for a old man .
Continued success w with your working skills . Thank you for posting .
Onya Sreten. beautiful job on saving a Maserati. One skilled mechanic!
Well I just watched you first of this series, and while I doubt I'd ever own a Maserati, but watching you make it seem less painful. I will watch for your next Videos. Thank you !
4:37 "Oh wow, I'm such a professional.... yyeeeeeeaah!" whilst making love to the transmision... hahahahahahahahahaha Genius
Congrats on the Michelin sponsorship. I wish you the best of luck in all of your endeavors .
Fantastic job, dude. You’re keeping great cars on the road one at a time. Great videos!
I cried a little tear of joy when I saw you using flush cutters to cut the cable (zip) tie tail.
I'm really not interested in BMWs, but love Maseratis and everything Italian, would love to see you do more stuff like this. I like your vibe and humour, the way you make it all funny without taking yourself too serously. I'll keep an eye to see if anything not BMW related comes up. Nice touch from Michelin!
Congratulations on your Michelin sponsorship deal Sreten ! Well what can I say other than what a fine job you have done with the Maserati. It not only sounds better but probably also performs a lot better. The new owner once its been sold will definitely be proud to own the newly oiled and serviced machine.
I hope to see more Italian stallions in the garage Streten! That exhaust roar 😍😍
I had the same Micheline tires on my M135i, it was like driving a go cart, insane traction, so much fun!
huge congrats on the michelin sponsorship! if someone deserves it, its you!
Great to see you're having fun with the Quattrofixte
Please do more of these, maybe an old alfa, it would get a lot of attention. Insanely beautiful work on the Maserati
Wow! You are the man of the hour….just imagine looking at this Maserati engine….it’s an alien spacecraft…my hat to you Streten….
Congratulations on the Michelin Sponsorship well deserved
Good to see Michelin helping out. They are my tire brand, have them on my SUV, cushy ride, long wear and good in the wet. Getting ready to buy a custom set of wheels and mount MPS4S on them to spice up my sports car. Had them on my previous sports car and they were great, excellent wear and grip for "spirited" street driving and ride was more than tolerable. Great video, again!
Michelin sponsorship is awesome, you deserve that and more, thank you for all your videos❤
I could watch this guy for days!
Mutsy is the true Star of this channel ❤ Awesome Vid
4:40 golden!
Great development Sreten! Fantastic news on getting that Michellin sponsorship. I want to see this channel live until either a BMW falls on top of you or your back gives out. Heres to many more years.
"I am ferrari tech now"....hahahaha i'm laughing but you actually did the impossible for a bmw tech like you. kudos to you my friend, you are full of surprises
Enjoyed this series a lot! Would love to see another unique and slightly out of your comfort zone series again in the future!
Congrats on the new sponsorship
Thanks Michelin to support the channel
The pelvis move at 4:43 was gold! 😂 Big up for Sreten!
Sreten
Be very careful having your dog in the garage when servicing cooling systems. They love the taste of antifreeze and will lick up any spills. Just a very small amount will kill them. I learned this the hard way many years ago.
Another great job! Congratulations...
Great seeing you mounting the transmission
Michelin tires are incredible and I believe are the very best. I have those exact tires on my Msport 335 6MT. I’m so happy they sponsored you! Excellent match up and I can’t wait to see more of their tires on your builds. ❤
