    When you see this videos you realize how important is to do "some" of this things by yourself, because Mecanics don´t do and will never do this as good and detailed as this.... this is art... and you Sreten, you are an artist...

      @@duncandonovan5270 there are great mechanics out there of course but there are also many shitty mechanics. Everyone can't do this job by themselves, this is very hard, also the rod bearing episode on the e60 m5, that is a very hard job to do by yourself if you aren't comfortable and have zero talent and skills and also patience to do these types of jobs. That's the tricky part. Like in the rod bearing episode Sreten used a butt ton of gloves and towels to keep things clean and organised and i don't really think anybody has the patience for that much attention to detail. It's amazing we have Sreten do these videos so much in detail.

    You have worked hard for this and for that I commend you. Fantastic.

    Hey Sreten, a little advice:
    You could upgrade your Aquablast with iPad Screen-protection-glass or similar, some of them are water reppelent. So you can stick them to your sight-glass (Sichtglass) and you can then turn your wiper off and have a very clear sight.
    I learned this from CNCing, many CNC Machines have that on their Sightglass.
    Good luck with your Projects!

      @M539Restorations  2 роки тому +3

      Absolutely incorrect. If you actually watched that video, you'd know that the compression test was done with the engine fully warmed up, meaning all oil burned off. The seals didn't leak within seconds, but days.

    I think you want to marry that water blaster. Your work is a pleasure to watch. You leave nothing to chance and the finished work looks factory fresh or better. Looking forward to seeing it running. I'm sure it will purr like a kitten.

    You don’t need to go to the software store to buy that bolt, you can just download it…

    One look at your tool drawer speaks volumes about you. Meticulous, detailed & uncompromising. You are a star, in my book! Keep these videos coming, please!

    It's great to see that this E32 750iL is getting more details resolved! Always good to continue projects that are unfinished. The E32 never loses its majesty! Keep up the great work my friend Sreten.
