Thank you Sreten!
I really blushed at bit on 38:10 when you said so many nice things about Gauge.S! I made this for my Yellow E36 Touring (back when it wasn't even yellow) and it was always focused for OEM+ BMW enthusiast. Your kind words mean really a lot to me. I am happy that you found it useful and relatively easy to use and install.
Please let me know your feedback after time of use as I always want to improve the product and with internet connections auto updates are easily to deploy to all devices in future.
Have happy time with your car and I knew you going to want oil cooler after first lap on The Ring when you seen actual oil temperatures! Data is everything!
I'm seriously thinking about getting one for my compact, after I saw GaragE36's recent video about installing them. I'll be doing an M54B30 swap first.
Hey Sorek, I've been thinking about buying your Gauge.S for a while now (stumbled upon it before this video aired) and I've been wondering since if your Gauge is able to read the oil temps (of an M54B30) from the CAN signal or if I'd have to install an extra sensor for that?
@@Flyppy21 Sreten also said that the oil temp needs a sensor for his car, its not from the can signal.
Oh, you were on Misha' s channel too, I remember that car :D
@@Flyppy21 data for oil temperature is available from ECU. But Sreten wanted to have extra one and he used combined sensor for oil temp and pressure Bosch pst-f1
But if you only need to take oil temperature then any stock car will provide that.
Note that it's over Kline not CAN bus (canbus is only used for button control)
Please show the after effects of 10 laps around nords. Tyre wear. Brakes. Rubber build up in guards. Belts. Debris impacts. All of it. It’s super interesting to look at
The only channel where longer videos make me happy. With other channels it just means 90% more talking and 10% more work. Your videos fly by!
While we're at cool things developed for old platforms: there is a device you can connect to your CD-Changer port (if you dont have one, there is a breakout cable) and it gives you a bluetooth interface on your old OEM Radio or monitor and displays the music you listen to. Steering wheel controls also work. You can even accept calls and talk with the OEM microphone. This thing is called BlueBus. A youtuber called e39source explained in detail how to install it.
He already has it in his daily E39 I think...
You should also install a interference filter before the Bluetooth module to avoid whine noises.
@@juliusmarz3662 I got mine in the trunk, so that is not an issue. The M54B30 would cover the noise anyway :D
He already did that on his Project Rottweil (E39 530i Touring).
@@TheJo96joI had an aftermarket radio once. That thing was garbage...
You can actually see how much the car has improved with just the video, it's quite amazing. The nasty spots of understeer that you could see before are basically gone, and that new shifter seems glorious!
I also agree with your decision not to push too much on that day. Better to get used to the car than to feel brave, turn traction control off, and end up meeting the barriers. And it's all too easy to feel brave when you're there, jacked up on adrenaline, feeling invincible.
Kudos for this video, and very much looking forward to the next videos of Project Frankfurt, and, especially, Project Marseille.
Plus you dont need to proove anything, just have fun. And standing in green jacket near tottaled car isn't funny at all.
@@Sjavaaaspeaking from past experience?😅😅
@@jessphuqette1716 yep )))) payed a lot for stupid mistake because i was careless...
Yes he's a lot better already. Kudos for taking up the challenge.
Glued to this video like an oil protester to the M25. Sheer brilliance. Loved the rebuild, hung on for grim death around the ring. Thank you for that.
That inline 6 sound never grows old.
Awesome job Sreten!
Misha and you made me addicted to the Nürburgring, was nice to see both of you in each others video (at 1:00:04, he was with the gray Polestar)
Was kinda funny, that usually Mischa is the one, who is in "full send" mode on the track, yet now, you were the one :D
Now i just wait for spring to come, where this Project continues.
Really amazed, what a 20 year old Bimmer is capable for with just a bit of love (and with great OEM stuff)
Nice work Sreten!!
Aaaaaaand now, back to the DoJo, great content cooooooming uup :D
Misha mentioned Sreten in his video when he flew by 😅
@mehn850 which video?
@@matmul4850The round up of the season on his own channel. Where he is cruising in his polestar
@@matmul4850 ua-cam.com/video/mTpIQRTFnG0/v-deo.htmlsi=yVGitCfPN7RSJEg1
Oh lol i noticed the polestar out of all cars and was thinking hes quite chill amd the car could def be faster than that haha
Every time I watch Sreten do something this great on project Cologne I'm proud to be e46 owner
The transformation this car been through from the moment when you bought it is amazing. Looking forward to seeing your progress on the ring.
What an episode Sreten! I just want to thank you for the content tou are able to push and the amount of work you put into your videos. I remebmer the first video i stumbled upon when searching for some car content since chrisfix got lazy. It was project Bilbao, the roadtrip. My heart jumped when i actually saw you getting next part out, as i was hungry for some content. It is great to see somebody actually making content and keeping his word and shedule. I watch every video with passion and will continue until the last one. Keep up the great work Sreten! Much thanks for all the work you do!
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode! Driving on the track really shows you the value of all the upgrades you done. Being able to do 10 ring laps on a single day without issues is a huge testiment to the build quality of this car. I am excited to see the car return next year. Apart from the oil cooler and the brakes, you could sneak in a set of semi slicks... Thanks for the video!
Greetings from Latvia.
Its much easier to first hit seal a bit inside, and then drill a hole and screw. Then seal is "unstick" from its position and come right out.
Best content, keep it grinding.
I'd recommend an oil cooler with a thermostat if you're going to be driving it in any sort of colder weather or colder track days since you drive to the track. Awesome to see the progress both you and the car are making.
Of course, S54 oil housing and intercooler are incoming. :)
That was definitely a good one Sreten. The track vid had me on the edge of my seat.
This is now a brand new car. Only the shell left of the original one. Very impressive!
Es ist schön zu sehen wie all diese Verbesserungen am Fahrzeug wirken und es sich beim fahren bemerkbar macht.Grandiose Arbeit die du da mit all deinen Autos machst mit sehr viel Liebe und Hingabe zum Detail,deine Videos sind super spannend und es macht eine Freude sie zu sehen wenn man beim zuschauen ein lächeln im Gesicht verspürt.Sehr gerne mehr davon,danke!👍🏻🍀👏🏻🙏🏻
The 'Bob's your uncle' and 'tighten till you see stars' cracked me up! 😂
From driving on the Nurburgring to a full 66-minute episode only a few days later. Sreten, you are a legend. Also, that digital gauge cluster looks amazing. I'm going to see if one is offered for my E30 or E36.
Training in the wet with traction off is actually better because you can slow right down, play with the throttle around a corner and still get the rear to break lose, you will get a feel for grip levels and how the car reacts while going very slow which is what you want, just like on a skidpan. In the dry you need to speed up or use allot more throttle to get it to break lose and also it can snap back more violently. Not to mention burning rubber.
I mean it's one of the most uninteresting and unimportant things in the video, but Nurburgring looks beatiful in fall weather, it's absolutely mesmerising to look at the scenery while you're driving, great video as always Sreten, looking forwards to more content based around racing and drifting.
47:52 that transition was soooo smooth
Wow I didn't expect that. Yes this is My 156 GTA and Yes for those days it was a crazy project that I am using now and I am very happy about it🤪👍💪👏 Thank you 👍
Absolutely beautiful build and video! Really inspirational to see an E46 getting these tasteful upgrades (:
Wish you all the best on your journey!
Nice to see you here, love your channel too :-)
The traction control kicking in so many times is telling you the car is sliding around all over the place, would be crazy to turn it off in these conditions.
its actually telling that it works hard to keep to car to PREVENT from sliding into an accident.
Not always. Driving over curbs it usually lights up as well. Or while accelerating out; altough it has an LSD,; the inner wheel spins a little. Also you can see a lot of interventions at turn in; while understeering a little; nothing major.
Don’t turn it off until you’ve done some skid pan bro
Nah, E46 DSC is just primitive. It intervenes far before the car actually loses traction.
thats what i meant, indeed
@@Stephen-re4oy
One of your best episodes ever!! Every one of us knows about the Nürburgring but after riding with you for a couple of laps I cannot stop thinking about moving (or vacationing?) near there! So much fun- thank you Sreten!
I love this channel - crazy German guy, BMW's and repairs. What's not to like.
Kind of got back in time watching you improve your wrenching skills few years ago, but this time will see your progress as a driver, so a great addition to the channel! Would take the liberty to suggest a bit more detail on the wrenching here and there on tasks that were covered in previous videos. Got that suggestion while watching the fuel filter change - gotta do the same, but can't remember in which video the fuel lines were explain. Great work, love to see so many handy tools used in the wrenching, now I need to browse the net and upgrate my tools set :D.
Rule of thumb at Swedenkreuz is you start braking from the roadsign into a straight line and turn in afterwards. But be safe there, if you get it wrong you're going te have a bad day.
I wish I had a gauge like that for my Porsche's. That's epic!
Finally...the "plongjnk" back when you do a before and after❤
Amazing, it could be a netflix series to be honest, it's way more interesting than the most there.
I'm happy you invited me along for the ride😊😊😊
Love ur work
That spring compress tool is sick!
55:45 PASSING A PORSCHE ON THE RING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO BABY GO BABY GO BABY GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your lap work looks really smooth. You seemed much more at ease in the car on the ring this time.
Lovely stuff as always.
great video, thanx Sreten
Well done, mate!
Nice job Sreten! Good Luck!!!
AMAZING!! GREAT JOB!!!
Excellent as usual.
You are so lucky to have the Ring in your back yard. And you are getting waaay better driving that beautiful touring. Love the episodes. Keep’em coming. 👍 thank you.
As always thank you ! Amazing content!!!!!
Loved the data overlay, great addition!
👍👍👍
Absolutely glorious exhaust notes!
I watch plenty of UA-cam laps of the ring.
I often worry about the mechanical condition of some of the cars on track.
Not this one! Credit to you.
Brilliant!
Great video Sreten as always. Just a little advice for track driving, try to be more gentle and progressive when releasing the brake pedal that will reduce your understeer when exiting the corner.
Excellent quality as usual 👍👍👍👍
Great work and also the driving
It was great to see you enjoying the laps Sreten. Its amazing how far one of your first projects has come, cant wait to see more. Great video!
Great Build
Sounds lovely
Fantastic driving Sreten!
You did so well on the Ring. I'm impressed!
Nice work again 👌
Also, you might want to look into how much the car is rev-hanging, that might be why you have more issues heel-toeing? Maybe a lighter flywheel might also help..
Still, massive respect for putting this video online when you're only just learning the ropes.
Hey Streton … cool laps man! Well done
Magic, thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Amazing video. And great driving on the 'Ring.
Sounds brilliant man. Great growl and tone
Great video!! It’s definitely track ready now!
i would really recommend innstalling a 350 deep to medium dish steering wheel in Suede and getting a taller shifter . that way u will get the steering wheel closer to urself and dont have to move your shifter hand so far from the steering wheel . talking from experience . steering wheel is a game changer . u will gain alot more controll with a solid steering wheel . u will feel much more comfortable ! trust me on that ! the shifter does also give alot . just how you will enter ur gears will feal alot different . safer and shorter . less movment . more focus . 🤠😎 car is getting cooler by the day ! sick build !
It sounds so good!!
Amazingly done as always mate.
Great as always !!!
That looks like a blast!!! Enjoy, you deserve all that fun for your hard work!!!
Out of the ball park, home run video 👍
Respect to the phone stand while track driving
Sreten gets to do those jobs that big and small garages and mechanics never eant to do ....All that dirty hidden rusted dtuff underneath ....you have built a new car 😅. The shifter knob and that brilliant data monitor from the UK are awesome.
Very satisfying video to watch. Thank you Streten! Good luck with your learning how to track this car, I don't know much but this but I can see you look more comfortable on the track and I think that's a big part of being successful in this.
nice to see you enjoying the track with the new mods installed
That Sorek Gauge looks so cool!
Very nice build great work
Love this series! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰🥰
This channel is my "Netflix and chill" ! One of the best on youtubehood😊. Looking forward to more and more exciting stuff with racing and other projects !
Great video as always! You probably already know this but the reason your traction control is kicking in so violently is the change of steering rack. I have the same issue in my E46 M3 as I have changed to a purple tag myself. From some light research there is some coding you can do to tell the abs module about the change of ratio but that is outside of my expertise and I mostly have it off while track driving although I really should get it sorted!
Love the track stuff episodes
Impeccable driving round the ring, a solid performer.
Excellent content as always Sreten! Thank you very much!
Streten you are the master mechanic…..wow! Different tools to remove different parts…..you have invested a lot of $$$$ to get the job done….no job is big or small enough for you to fix…..you’re the best in my book…..love all your videos for a guy who knows nothing about replacing or fixing stuff….Streten you are the chosen one! Hehehehe…..keep up the good work…
Beautiful
great video
Thanks
Great video! Thank you for sharing the gauges.
Another great episode well done mate
This was such a treat to watch. Man that car must be fun to drive. Cheers!
Great work on car and nice drive.
I read that today BMW stopped producing petrol/diesel engines. Your mission to save these cars has just become ULTRA important.
What is the source for that? I can't find anything. Sound like bullshit.
They just moved manufacturing to Austria, no longer building them in Germany. Still building them!
Great upgrade!! Love the brake squick ❤❤❤❤
well done good driving
Top notch work as always and happy to see you enjoy the car. Looking forward to the next stage in the build.
Well Done nice work with the car and nice driving
my favorite series so far, i love seeing your progress in the track and how you push the car the more comfortable you get with it, sucks to have to wait till march.
Absolutely loving it👍🏻
As always, great content. Looking forward to the next vids, and specially, the e90 M3!
TBH I can take or leave Nurburgring videos, we have all seen so many, but top marks for all the work done to the car as always.
So good to watch this channel.... the level of detail to the work and projects is fantastic...
Nice track driving!
Very good setup that you have
