    Streten and @M539 restorations kick ass compared to 'traditional' car media and those really (pun intended) "interesting" UA-cam-hooligans. He has created something truly unique. Legend already made and still walking among us with humbleness that is so rare to see. I just love his videos and the content to the max! It is even getting better episode by episode. In addition, it has been the first time for me to learn how mechanical issues arise, work and how those problems can be dealt with. That is really hard thing to come by.

    This guy's a legend, amazed from the moment I first started watching him during lockdown. I really hope he comes across a Z8 to restore, that's one of the cars I'd love to see him work on.

    I love how Corporate BMW is recognizing an aftermarket restorer like this. Well done Sreten and BMW!

    Sreten is a self-made legend. BMWs recognition of his work is brilliant.
    Never lose touch with the heritage and soul of the brand.
