We'd be lying if we didn't have a "you bought a what?!?" when Sreten told us about this project. But as with all his past projects we had faith he knew what he was doing and happy to jump into action and supply all the parts needed on a tight timeline. Seeing it come together in Part 1 here is quite rewarding. I think Jason needs to follow you back to Germany so he can be your full time heckler/assistant. You guys make a solid team. Cant wait for Part 2!!!
Also had only positive experience with you guys - found some parts I couldn’t find anywhere in Europe as I’m really particular about stuff I install to my engines. Keep up the great work guys!
The thought of the Airport Staff checking Sretens luggage and finding Bilstein coilovers, oil stained shirts, and other tools, cracks me up more than it should
As an American, I always found Sreten's tolerance for his liberal applications of break cleaner astounding considering how noxious the stuff is. Turns out break cleaner is different in Germany.
Sreten, you are a national treasure, so funny, hard-working, and meticulous in your craft. The stained shirts for the win, plus your wife must be just as awesome to support your love of fixing the broken BMW's, and one broken Italian headache. I have progressive MS with muscle wasting, and you always inspire me to work on my 54 m38a1 jeep willys, to tough it out through the frustration of no feeling and poor dexterity in my left hand. I got a project to try and slow the muscle wasting on my entire left side that the outcome is a wheelchair. I have had so much other stuff physically that causes severe pain everyday of my life, but i do not let that define who i am, or what i can do. People like you inspire me to do thing's that i shouldn't be able to do. I wish i were financially better off, because i would pay to support your channel, because you do the best job you can with what you have to work with. You should have a million subscribers, and i hope you get there. G-d bless.
I read this comment three times over because just weird. National treasure, stained shirts, wives, muscle wasting, inspiration, jeeps, wheelchairs, dexterity, definition, inspiration, finances, support, god,... ffs man 🙄
just giggled in happiness as i saw the episode is 1 hour long... yeah bro ive said it a few years ago and it still holds true: you have one of the realest communities of any youtuber, because you yourself are keeping it real. its very rare that you see someone with 600k subs acutally constitantly get 600k views, and you are one of the few. p.s. if you ever get the chance to buy a volkswagen w12 engine car for cheap, PLEASE do it i would be so interested in a episode of you tearing it apart or even starting a project from it. absolutley fascinating engine with an immense and pretty humble history

As a guy who dreams of buying and driving his first car, this channel is a gold mine. Getting to watch you work on some of my dream cars is amazing and it's all free of charge. This channel is terribly underrated in my opinion. Keep up this amazing work
When the engine would not turn over, I lost all hope. Then I noticed how clean the inside of the engine was from the obviously faithful and often oil changes. So I decided the Vanos was probably at fault. Even a blind squirrel can find a nut. This is a beauty of a car and anything with a manual transmission should be saved if at all possible.
4:41 the Pentastar V6 engine in Jason's "Vanjynah" is ironically the "Loose" basis for the the Ferrari/Maserati F160 V6 in the base model QuattroBroken S as well as the Ghibli (remember Hoovie going through THREE Engines before he got a semi decent one?) and the Levante; the blocks are actually cast and machined to Ferrari/Maserati Specifications in US Chrysler manufacturing plants (they are cast in Kokomo, Indiana; and machined in Trenton, Michigan) then shipped to Modena, Italy for final Assembly.
Please please PLEASE will y'all stop with the Maserati hate! Yes the V6 was based on the Pentastar, but it was also a great sounding engine, capable of huge mileages and giving owners a big smile on their faces (Hoovie is always scavenging high mileage scrapyard stuff, not mint engines).
@@71ala I never said I hated Maserati, you put words in my mouth; and yes, Hoovie tends to cheap out on parts, but if you had watched Sreten’s series on the QuattroPorte GTS; he was having difficulty getting DEALERSHIP parts on a car that is STILL IN PRODUCTION. If it wasn’t for MasParts he probably wouldn’t have been able to get the timing parts for the original engine (before it blew up from a lubrication issue) and some of the engineering decisions that were made were down right boneheaded! (Like routing critical charging system wiring behind an engine mount)
@@digitalrailroader I agree with everything you write here. It's just that everyone always takes a crack at Maserati while BMW has design flaws that would result in all the engineering team being fired, but somehow I never read any snide comments on BMW mistakes (need I say: the short life bearings of the V8/V10 are an indecent flaw, the hot biturbo N63 V8 with certain death by multiple causes is a well known disaster that even my BMW mechanic told me to "stay away"...)
@@71ala every single car ever made has its engineering flaws; my own daily driver (an 18 year old Buick) has one of the best V6s that General Motors ever produced with a 20 year reputation for reliability, but even the 3800 V6 has its Achilles heel which is the plastic coolant elbows that connects the heater core to the engine through the alternator bracket; and this was an issue from 1995 to 2008, as well as the lower intake manifold gaskets or the upper intake manifold cracking around the EGR tube allowing coolant to enter the combustion chambers and acting like a blown head gasket (worst case scenario is the engine hydro locks) which really only affects the Series II engines.
🤣🤣🤣 Loving the "management" peanut gallery in the background making random comments and watching on as Sreten was slaving away over the car. Must have been terribly taxing sitting there watching you work.
I've been watching this channel for years! It's one of the best out there, and any company that sponsors it is tops, as far as I am concerned. Thank you, Sreten and BimmerWorld 💙💜❤
You’re truly living the dream Sreten.. I picked up a rebuilt title 6 SPEED 2011 650i WITH a n63TU.. yes a TU with a manual transmission AND its convertible. I will tell you this my friend, if possible try to get your hands on one whenever your brain is ready. Just did my spark plugs and coils and injectors and I gotta tell you man.. it really isn’t even that much worse than doing it on the n62 just a little more bmw bs clogging up the engine bay but overall I think everyone should try and get their hands on a manual n63 powered car it’s nothing like any of the 6 cylinder powered cars it’s exhilarating
Came here after listening to the Carmudgeon episode. The video did not disappoint. BMW"s engineering is impressive, your craft and knowledge just as well.
I do not know of anyone else on TH-cam that can make an hour’s worth of content pulling an engine apart…. that interesting, to not be able to stop watching till the end! It is the passion that goes with it that makes the difference! 👌🏻
I once knew someone from Fresno, Tomm Lee, who was played by Phillip Rhee in the film The Best of the Best, and today I am witnessing exactly how excellent work is always, proving deep professionalism, attention to every detail, and an original sense of humor, which gives a brilliant end result, the material is worth every penny. bravo for a minute spent in front of the screen.
That car was definitely heading to the parts-pull yard if Mr. M539 hadn't snatched it from the junk yard cannibals. It goes to show you that an engine with proper oil changes will outlast the rest of the car (barring catastrophes). Great video as usual, thanks.
I am amazed at your positivity and can do attitude, I would have freaked out when the engine locked, but no, like a dog with a bone you had to find out the cause, you must be really good at cluedo!!! Keep it up !
Seeing a Streten video drop is as much exciting as watching them. Great work per usual and we all know episode 2 is where you turn the key and it fires up, like a gooden!
The late start to the work day was worth it. Thanks, Sreten and great work as always. We will all follow the journey of this magnificent beast from start to finish!
4:04 gorgeous E24, E34, E46, then some E36, E30 followed by an immaculate v12 E31 i just about messed up my pants. and then the M1 came on screen. Dear god what a beutiful sight of some of the best to ever come out of Bayern!
Some of those underbody scrapes are probably from the forks on the loaders the salvage yards use to move cars around. Wish they wouldn't use them, but they all do.
Great respect for the work. It’s not easy to find your way around in a foreign workshop, especially as you mentioned not having your own tools like your favourite ratchet with you. Even such small things make it much, much harder to manage. Bravo Majstorcino!
Sreten, it's always a joy and learning proces to see you trouble shoot and fix a engine/car with no service records. You're truly a legend!! 💪 PS what a sound from Jason's CSI. Quite curious to hear your custom solution. 🤪
Joke: BimmerWorld never has stock in the weeks after Sreten's been on the phone! BW: "What parts do you need, Sreten?" S: "Yes. And also, yes". "And again yes". BW: pushes contents of entire warehouse into delivery truck and sends it. Also sends its crack ninja squad on parts raid to Europe to sneak more items from BMW vaults, leaving only tell tale oil stained Euro notes in their place. S: "And yes once more". Seriously though - another one well on the way to being restored. Excellent stuff, and thumbs up to BW too!
I had soft-close doors on my E60 too, the main thing to watch out for is not closing the doors properly when you get in other cars because you expect them to close themselves! Was driven halfway across Switzerland with a partly closed door once because of that! You can tell that's a late M5 because it has the facelift iDrive with shortcut buttons that the M5 got much later than the regular car.
Hi Sreten you have saved my day with this upload. I got reaaally bad moments right now and your videos are always a pure joy. I love to see how you bring all those legends back to life. Greetings and success!

When applying ARP lube i buy a bag of cheap disposable brushes. Put a dab of ARP on a clean surface and use the brush to apply lube to the rod bolts. Keeps gloves and hands free of lube and creates a nice even coat of lube on the rod bolts. When finished I just toss the brush.
Mate I thoroughly enjoyed the 1st M5 manual restoration you did and now you’re doing it again. It’s my absolute dream car and I’m learning everything about the car before I hopefully one day buy it. Long time watcher of your channel from years ago. Always enjoy your content.
i wish i could send my x5 e 53 for repairs transfer case , transmision transfer cases fluid etc and roug idle .. .. i cant find anyone that works like a pro like u do .....and car services suck awsome projects u do man ! happy 4 u !
Seriously Sreten & Jason should get together to make contents like no one ever have made . Imagine car reciews that one party is in charge of ride quality & side way drifting & track record settings , other party in charge of all engineering and repair or maintenance needs of car during ownership! We don't have such thing in YT as far as I am aware of .
As always love to see you working on BIMMERsss. Just the feeling of taking out broken parts and replace them is so satisfying. I do that to my own cars and that is the best part of working on car. Can't wait to see pt2 and see this beast running.
I have no mechanical aptitudes. The most I have done on my cars is change the oil and cabin air filter, and I feel pretty proud of my achievements. However, I'm addicted to these videos and truly amazed at how much technical ability and knowledge it takes to work on this miracle of science, and engendering that these cars are.
i was in an accident in an e39 528 many years ago i depressed the clutch at the last moment so the car was still running even though airbags + belt tensioner triggered , so could move it out of the road once switched off , it would not start again, i have no idea if e39 had a pyro fuse assumed it had cause the no start so when you said pyro fuse blown hence sure not run without oil it triggered the memory and hoped for your sake the engine stalled or that the pyro fuse actually killed the motor in newer cars
I never saw your latest projects because I just watch the e60 episodes over and over. I cant believe you bought another e60. Good luck with the new project!
absolute legend, these videos are so good for learning and people who working on cars. Motivation alot bigger to work on own car with right tools. Plus who ever own m5 can do this job by looking what you need to do :)

i wish i could send my x5 e 53 for repairs transfer case , transmision transfer cases fluid etc and roug idle .. .. i cant find anyone that works like a pro like u do .....and car services suck
awsome projects u do man ! happy 4 u !
"How is the condition?"
"... I can see the oil pickup tube from outside the engine... is that good?"
I can imagine the pressure working when someone is watching you :)
Seriously Sreten & Jason should get together to make contents like no one ever have made .
Imagine car reciews that one party is in charge of ride quality & side way drifting & track record settings , other party in charge of all engineering and repair or maintenance needs of car during ownership!
We don't have such thing in YT as far as I am aware of .
As always love to see you working on BIMMERsss. Just the feeling of taking out broken parts and replace them is so satisfying. I do that to my own cars and that is the best part of working on car. Can't wait to see pt2 and see this beast running.
I always love seeing you two together! Jason and Sreten sharing my screen brightens my day because your chemistry is awesome.
I have no mechanical aptitudes. The most I have done on my cars is change the oil and cabin air filter, and I feel pretty proud of my achievements.
However, I'm addicted to these videos and truly amazed at how much technical ability and knowledge it takes to work on this miracle of science, and engendering that these cars are.
Sacramento and Fresno! Nice, finally a car from my home towns!
I feel that this is gonna be one of the top 3 series/projects Sreten has ever done!
It's as if you're facing a video game boss at 26:45 when the music comes on. [You have Entered Combat]
this was way worse than a game boss.
I admire Your skills. Nice job. Love Your sense of humour
i was in an accident in an e39 528 many years ago
i depressed the clutch at the last moment so the car was still running even though airbags + belt tensioner triggered , so could move it out of the road
once switched off , it would not start again, i have no idea if e39 had a pyro fuse assumed it had cause the no start
so when you said pyro fuse blown hence sure not run without oil it triggered the memory
and hoped for your sake the engine stalled or that the pyro fuse actually killed the motor in newer cars
I have a 2003 BMW 540i E39 with 120.000 miles. Runs great. I love this car, it needs some work. I wish you were here. Love your work. 😮😊wow.
Отличная работа , Sreten !
Este hombre si que está viviendo la vida. Felicitaciones por todo lo logrado. Acá desde Argentina un fiel seguidor saludos.
Great work as always, best color for a M5 👌
One of the most interesting episodes ever! Like a BMW suspense drama 😅
Backlash measuring tool in milimiters in America?
They let you in with that on plane? :D
I was rewatching the e60 m5 series and now we get this gem! My evening is perfect!
This car is too nice at least keep it as your USA car.
The very best content. As a non mechanic wanna-be i get such a buzz watching Sreten do his thing.. mega.
I feel that Maserati Gods are listening to all the nasty things you said about the Quattroporte, and they're going to make your life impossible!
Naaah, he was honest with them at least ahahah.... i would have this beamer and two quattroportes eitherway ahahahahaha
I never saw your latest projects because I just watch the e60 episodes over and over. I cant believe you bought another e60. Good luck with the new project!
Imo $18200 + CA shipping + taxes in Bremerhaven is kinda high.
Good luck Sreten!
Always love to see both Sreten and Jason in an episode, two of my favourite content makers
truly legendary
Love and and big thanks from persia
Jason Cammisa don't feel bad you are not alone... We all bought BMWs because of Sreten. 😤😖😠
absolute legend, these videos are so good for learning and people who working on cars. Motivation alot bigger to work on own car with right tools. Plus who ever own m5 can do this job by looking what you need to do :)
I like Jason Cammisa, He's a really funny guy and the production quality on the Hagerty videos are top notch!!
You truly are a one man army, the amount of work you put in (jetlagged!) is nuts! Cant wait for part two man, awesome
Great rescue video of a truly rare car. Would be good to have a version with Jason Camissa edited out
Agree. One of the reasons I watch this channel, besides fixing cars, is Sreten. Jason's just not a good fit here I think.
Agreed. That guy is annoying. First I've ever seen of him.
@@corvuslaeus9540 He's an OG. Been watching him since the Motortrend days. He does well on the Hagerty channel.
@@AnontheGOAT Had to look him up on Hagerty. Annoying there too, his humor is horrible. Now Davin is a real Hagerty channel badass. This guy is a wannabe Top Gear tool with shock value American humor.
Wow a bit too salty here, he jumped in for a few secs in total, not that annoying honestly...it could've been worse, I mean he could've had cardi b rapping whilst cleaning rod bearings
