was just thinking, "I wonder if Sreten will post another video today" and here it is!!! Thank you for posting these videos. This is the best channel on youtube!!!
The fact you said that you will tackle the valve stem seals makes you a "real mechanic" , could not get anyone to do mine, so I tackled it myself, with the right tools and research it's possible, happy motoring.
12:30 Maybe I'm just a weirdo, but I'm seriously fascinated by the fact that the 1988 pump (probably) hasn't been opened by anyone since it was put on the car and that it looks factory-fresh and super clean on the inside. That's the year I got my driver's license and while I'm not as disgusting looking on the outside as that pump (yet), I'm pretty sure my insides aren't nearly as fresh and clean looking... ;)
Thank you from Edinburgh....love that you save all these cars.....ps: i just spent £1800 last 7 months on my mercedes 2006 180 komp evolution s coupe..
Actually every m series v engines have those problems. Mostly on m60 and m62 and rarely on v12s but there have been some ocations so still worth checking for peace of mind
I thought u said "carbon fiber towels". Anyway, I wanted to suggest better oil dissolving method - kerosene. It, together with brush will clean even the deepest oil stains. And after that u can use brake clean to wash everything off.
Sadly they are not mine, from a friend. It's actually pretty difficult to get them but I'm hoping I will one day. Meanwhile, I can borrow them when needed which is awesome.
@@M539Restorations I agree, the look on your face when the car went full vibration mode was hilarious, looking forward to more real road tests instead of putting in the yard back and forth lol
@@M539Restorations in the UK dealer plates (aka trade plates) have limitations on them in terms of speed, IIRC you can't do more than 60mph. Is that not the case in Deutschland?
Your videos bring so much joy to the weekend. Thank you! PS: and of course only Sreten takes the car to 200kph while the front suspension is shot. All in the name of science. Classic.
Hi Sreten - two questions from Texas: 1) do you ever consider installing Dynamat under the carpets and firewall for improved sound and thermal absorption and 2) what are your thoughts on dry ice cleaning? I wish I knew about your channel when I had my 2010 E60 550i MSport.
Brings back so many memories of my 1990 750iL! I've done all this stuff and thought I might still have that alternator cooling duct connection as well as a new full duct but, currently, I can't find it - I'll keep looking. I love reliving my nightmare through you, interestingly enough. Keep up the great vids! :)
Hi Sreten. The filter in the hydraulic oil reservoir looks the same like the one in my VW Golf 1 Cabrio. Did you check that? Should we compare dimensions?
To be honest I lost track of your projects.. I needed the first few moments to remember the backstory of the car.. nevertheless most entertaining car channel on UA-cam :) cheers
I was driving today in Dresden when I saw a blue E39 M5 with M5 in the number plate and I was about to crash in the car in front of me thinking it was you. It wasn't you, but I got this lovely video instead. Cheers.
I'm so glad you got the bigger space, your channel and content is really good. Up their with BOM, Geoffrey Crocker and of course, my man Derek from VGG.
How do you know that you are making quality content? I’ve never been so interested in cars even though I’ve owned one e36. Still, I look forward to every weekend that I get to make a pot of coffee and stare as you get your hands dirty with these classics! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Finland
M539 produces simply awesome videos - this car was my dream back in the eighties (I still have all the brochures) - I would still love to own this car !
Many thanks for this video. My first holiday weekend and what’s better to see somebody doing all the work I should do on both of my 535i’s E39. One of the manual, the other with a flawless leather interior. Nop. Not touching them. I’d rather watch. Anyone interested in buying them? South west Netherlands.
Coming from Frankfurt, it's weird seeing all the familiar streets he drives on.. and nice in one way too. Loving the content, as always. Looking forward on seeing you on the street one day and screaming Sreteen at you !
Just a tip: "spend" the first 2 minutes reccaping the origin of the car. Sometimes i get tje peojects mixed up. The first video with the back story really brings things back to memorie.
Please don’t. Tavarish always spends 5 minutes recapping what the car is and so on, so annoying. The video already says „part 6“, look for part one if you don’t know what it is.
@@HNedel i feel you. The american way of editing, to fill time is annoying. Sometimes those cable shows spend 1/3 of the show just reccaping. They even reccap in the pauses after the ads. But....spending just 60 seconds reccaping...or even 30 can be a compromise between our views. Cmon....that time Streten got scared of dead spider way hilarious.
@@xedasxedas his style reminds me of old top gear, with the intro saying what will be in the episode. A word or two on what was done to the car previously (like interior, brakes, suspension and so on) after that magnificent intro wouldn't hurt, but the videos are named quite well and he organizes everything in playlists, so it is easy to find the missing information.
Yet another fantastic video thanks Sreten. I recommend doing an E34 M5 suspension upgrade to the E32. It truly does make a huge difference for the better. I found out the hard way about the tie rod ends, after ruining one. Yes I'm a slow learner. The aircon didn't work in mine which was a bitch in an Australian summer and getting parts for it wasn't an easy thing either. Another huge improvement for me, which I saw yours has, is Michelin rubber all around. With mine whenever I spoke to people on the phone (hands-free of course) they didn't even realise I was in a car driving.
Hi, my son and i are restoring a 735i e32. We have a problem with power steering. We have changed the pump but can't bleed the air in the system. Any tips what else can be the problem?
'Cup of Joe': Here are the three leading theories on the origins of the term “Cup of Joe”. (1) Secretary of the Navy in 1913, Josephus Daniels, prohibited alcohol aboard naval vessels leading to more coffee consumption. (2) It’s a shortened version of two other slang terms for coffee: java and jamoke. (3) Coffee is considered “a common man” drink and Joe is considered “a common man” name. I asked the wife, and the effin wife knows EVERYTHING.
Considering this is a 33-year old car then slightly worn valve stem oil seals as the only unexpected development is far from bad. For a horrible moment I really thought the nasty noise you were getting when turning right was going to be a shot differential...
That's awesome that you can still buy a repair kit for the steering pump. These days so many of such parts can only be reconditioned by 'professionals' 😉 I always smile when I see I have one of your videos to watch whilst I eat my breakfast. Starts my day off really nicely 😊
i wish i had money because i would give it to you but unfortunately i am disabled from a brain heammorrage etc so keep up the good work its a pity nobody likes the e31 but i do i drive an e38 and son drives e39 you cant find a better car but watching you is inspiring GOOD WORK ...... keep it up.
You should be able to stick an open ended wrench by the rubber of the tie rod to hold it down. At least that's what I had to do changing endlinks on my genesis coupe.
Those E32 750iLs are just the best looking Seven series by far to me. Everyone luvs the E38,which I like too,but the E32 is the one I want,but I want to find one with an LSD in it.
For testing and fixing of car electronics, there is a company in The Netherlands called actronics in the city of Almelo. They do a lot of repairs on al kind of car electronics. I been there once for a business visit and it is a very impressive company. You can check there website.
Hello there. Really enjoy watching your videos, even though I was not really such a huge fan of working on BMW's. But now, I think I can start to respect working on a BMW (especially an older model) and that it can be actually easier that one would think. By the way, why would 39 "CLOWNS" dislike this video? What is there to dislike? Really wonder what the hell kind of people are there in this world... But I definitely like your video, and hope to see progress on this 750iL soon. Hello from Great Britain!
There is a vale body kit for the auto, sometimes the check valve slips through from one side to the other causing issues. I had mine changed on my E32 years ago

Funny that there's also a ha for when you realize that the fix is much harder and expensive than you thought.
Really like the troubleshooting aspect of this video. I love it when you bang through replacement parts but this is great educational content
Those cassette boxes are rare! I have a spare one (with a lid) from an E34 that also fits E32. Let me know if you want it.
