Sreten deserves a stand at Essen from BMW for the promotion he gives them, he's the best UA-camr there is 👍👍🇬🇧
So true❤
Yes
true
Sreten has to be one of my all time favorite UA-cam creators, his work is unmatched and he has developed a very entertaining personality. Great to hear more of his story!
I never thought about buying a BMW until watching M539 Restorations and now I own one (and learning how to maintain it thanks to Sretan)
I’ve been saving for one my whole life and never made it to owning a bmw , do you have any advice ?
@@brendanngin9939 I bought a 2002 E39 that was decently maintained so the price was low and the ongoing maintenance won't be as bad. If you can save $5-7k you can find good ones out there!
I am exactly the same, I have purchased an E39 that is very broken and I also bought a non runner BMW E91 that I managed to get running after using Streten's tutorials that is now my daily driver. Happy Wrenching!
Same. Everyone knows the bmw reputation, especially high mileage cars, but Sretan demonstrates that if you are willing to learn, patient, and have space, you can maintain it yourself and save a ton of money.
Sreten is inspirational, genuine, sharp and amusing. He absolutely deserves the success and goals he reached!
How Streten only has 400k subs still blows my mind , such a down to earth guy and each video is like a feature film absolutely addicting, been watching since project Dubai
I had always assumed Streten had a background in BMW repair, it’s amazing he self developed his expertis.
I think that video when you started the donor 750i in the parking lot was my first of your chanel.
I enjoy watching Sreten's UA-cam channel more so than any television series currently available. It's so difficult waiting two weeks between his episodes. I've been around from the beginning and have watched all his vids more than once.
It is because of Sreten and M539 - Restorations that my love for BMW was rekindled. I recently purchased an E46 after binge watching his UA-cam channel and he made me realize I needed another BMW in my life. Working on a complete repair and maintenance with all OE and OEM parts just like he does, he is a huge motivation to all of us that love BMW. I cant wait continue to watch his progress and where he takes his passion. Thank you Sreten.
I found the M539 channel while going down a youtube rabbit hole searching for repair vid's for my old 2006 X3. I was, to be honest, about done with BMW's believing the mythology that maintenance could only, should only be done by trained, certified techs. Sreten's channel rekindled my love of the brand, and DYI (done correctly), wrenching. Working on these car's is now not a chore, but a hobby that I share with my oldest daughter who is restoring an E46 touring.
Sreten is the best BMW youtuber there is. He truly fixes these cars as they should be from factory. He doesn't skip steps or take short cuts. I truly enjoy his videos.
I literally want to do the same thing :) I just love the look of classic BMWs and want to give them a second life!!
Sreten is my favorite UA-camr by far!! His videos and humor, knowledge, and professionalism is first class. I always look forward to his new videos and I hope he continues to be a success. The main thing we have in common is our love of cars and especially BMW. Can’t get enough.
Sreten's a BMW legend.
M539 is the best UA-cam channel!
Sreten has become a legend in only a few years. He is so meticulous.
Sreten has one of the best automobile themed channels on UA-cam. He's really funny, his project selections are consistently interesting, and his editing skills are great. The channel's success is earned.
Is it a good thing BMWs break down to provide grade A UA-cam content? Sreten, M539 Restoriations is the best auto channel period.
Streten has been a real inspiration to me and helping to show me what is possible. I am currently working on an E60 550i for my son. Thank you Stretan!
Sreten*
@@djesbaa thanks, I fixed my typo
@@ricardod70 you haven't
Yep, I am actively hunting for an E60 550i M Sport because of him as well. Seems like a good balance between performance and not dealing with an S85 lol
I am here becouse of Sreten 😎
Cooooooming up, the best BMW youtuber
I Love watching the Videos from Sreten, But now i love even more hearing Stories from the beginning of the UA-cam Channel and of the Love for Cars he Developed over the time and working on them! Thanks to BMW Group Classic for uploading the Podcast and for inviting Sreten to it! Its always satisfying seeing and hearing Sreten Talking about Cars, -Microfiber- Towels .... Sorry Carbonfiber Towels ;) and Using his Head at Wrenching :D
Thanks for the Entertainment Mr.Sreten!
The first podcast I listened start to end. All because of this guy! 👍🏻
Giving the love Sreten expresses for the E39 M5 and E60 M5, due to their engines and being 4 door cars... He should definitely experience an E28 M5!
I really enjoyed that. Sreten should be made an ambassador for BMW classics. How about sorting him a discount on all parts considering the encouragement his work gives others to save their cars.
Hahaha, while I love Sreten and completely agree with you, I imagine that BMW prefers us to purchase new cars, not maintain the older gals. ;)
@J5L5M6 true, it's just a shame the modern ones are so ugly!
sreten deserves a plack in munich :-D absolutely top man doing top job
I don't care how much i have to work for it or how much it will cost at that time, I will own an E60 M5 until I die.
Please start a UA-cam channel, and i follow you for sure!👍
@@Wim1975 sure will, let me cook first:)) first i have to get the car
Words can't describe how much I love and admire this guy❤️
The only guy i fully watch and listen on youtube,a real BMW❤
Damn, what's next? CEO of BMW Group?
Really happy than Setern is getting the fame he always deserved
I am following him from the begining and just wanna say keep going man
You are a legend
All the best from 🇪🇬
The real BMW consigliere! Definitely the best BMW content on UA-cam.
Btw you should interview Ed from 777 garage.
I am watching Sreten from the very beggining, his dedication to the work he loves to do inspires and shows how with hard work you can achive to work your dream job. Love and support from Macedonia!! 🇲🇰🇲🇰
Thank's you JP, Sreten and all of the BMW Group Classic crew for this meeting and heartwarming podcast! 💙🤍 Looking forward to your next meeting!
SRETEN FOR PRESIDENT ! :)
Streten is like Beyonce, Prince or Madonna... only known by one name - and rightly so within the BMW community
I really love the Sreten's enthusiasm and humor.
Moreover, the knowledge he transmits on the M539 Restorations channel is really good.
I have learned many small tricks and tips regarding car maintenance in general, which I passed on to my own cars.
Moreover, Sreten found a real unique way to make it interesting - which is the real reason he gets so much views.
Cheers from Portugal!
M539 inspired me to buy my first BMW. Had it around a year and Ive been doing my own work on it. Great channel.
I'm actively awaiting the release of OEM BMW carbon fibre cloths...
That always makes me laugh. They're microfiber and he calls them carbon fiber. His latest video he is forced to drop the joke because the detailer keeps saying microfiber.
carbonious
Sreten has great mechanical skills, and yet is quite humble and funny individual. I share his BMW passion and love watching his video's.
Sreten is the man of the youtube car niche hands down
Absolutely fantastic Streten best UA-cam BMW ambassador
Sreten has a really unique and interesting story and has developed his own fascinating strategy for buying, selling and restoration of BMW'S which I think is excellent. One day Sreten might have to write a book on this subject so people like me can learn all this stuff. The videos are really great and somewhat humorous. Looking forward to more content in the future !
I watch Sretens Videos since project Dubai and I‘m still excited, when a new video comes out.
Sreten has really inspired not just me but many other people, this guy is just amazing to watch. He is the only youtuber whos 1 hour long video is like nothing.
Sreten for the WIN!!! Best UA-cam channel period!
sreten is a king of BMW
This guy is a real hero, he do exactly the thing i like on the cars from my youth!!👍👍👍
I think if the interview woud have been filmed, and not only recorded....oh, what a difference! Anyway, nice info! Always in love with Sretens work!
So great to hear more about the background, motivation and overall view on cars and life of my all time favorite UA-camr. Thank you BMW!
Our Sreten is rock n roll. IT engineer who likes to fix old beemers. Inpirational and funny Serb.🏁
i dont even like BMW's but i like people who fix cars right so thats why im subbed to his channel
The best bmw youtuber, no debate 👍👍
I can listen to this for the rest of my life.
Sreten, then I didn't know how to change the oil.
Now, rebuilds V10, V8 Alpina x2, countless V12's.😅😅😅
Go man go! Streten is my BMW Hero!
Thanks, Sreten, for taking time to do this interview. Your fearlessness in tackling and solving technical challenges is inspiring (and your channel is pretty good, too!).
Inspiring interview 👍🏽 I’m humbled and grateful to be a part of an amazing industry and brand 👏🏽❤️
Such a Legend!
Listening to this, I've just realized I follow M539 Restorations since the very beginnings. Best youtube channel 🤘
Sreten deserves the best! he is the best car youtuber
Sreten 👍👏keep up the projects skip the visits
The journey continues!
Good humour and solid repair skills is a great combo
M539 Restoration, the best UA-cam channel about the restoration of classic bmw👍🏻
Самый крутой канал по обслуживанию автомобилей, и глобальным т.о.
Love Sreten, such a pure content creator with a great heart. Great conversation
If he took customers I would send my precious and beloved E46 from the US to Sreten. I have NEVER encountered anyone that has passion and skill for classic BMW.
Love this guy ♥️
Even better! Sreten 🎉
This is fantastic. Sreten is a damned hero.
I went back to BMW, F80 specifically, only because of Sreten.
Have followed your channel since the very early days and you definitely deserve all your success. I have learned so much that I've used on my E36 and 46 from you - thanks.
Great episode!
Stratton un nome una garanzia 😂comunque lo ammiro👍😜top
I agree with you when it comes to the looks of the E60.
It is still my favourite BMW of all time the 530d is indestructible and the M5 v10 has a sound nothing in its class can beat.
m539 for president
Sreten is the Edd China of Frankfurt 👍
Sreten is the man
Keep it up Sreten!
Congrats on the recognition, it’s been a long time in the making! Felicitaciones desde Chile, been watching you since Project Dubai!
Classic Serb.
GO SRETEN!!!
Serbian ❤
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have been following the 5M39 presentations of Streten for some time now. What always amazed me was that he always found the right parts. Moreover, it turned out that he mainly relies on the factory manuals.
I currently have a 1987 E30 325I, a 1988 320i convertible along with a 1989 Z1.
Where can I find those factory manuals and the right parts.Please help me to keep my cars on the road.
👍
Sreten is the reason i bought an e39 530i...guilty you..🤪😜🤪😜
17:36 i saw one rly clean, very nice condition bot inside and outside, 850LI 6sp manual in Prague near hotel Kristal
in the future we will hear about the Sreten Effect
Apart from the ontopic BMW thing, which for sure is the best, I watch Sreten with popcorn every time but, 18$ / h as an IT guy in LA ? That's a very low rate, in EU as a contractor with decent experience you get 35-40 E / hour and even more if you are a senior guy in this domain.
First job. Foreign exchange student. Yes, it was peanuts, why do you think he was flipping cars? California requires two jobs anyway.
Someone find Sreten an M88 powered car!
Guys his name is SRETaN and that name translation in English is HaPpy😂
Sreten should seat at the BMW board (not joking lol) its a shame this ecofriendly shit will end up with everything...not sure if for good...all in about being green but not by suicide...
Old bmw are what bmw was all about. Today tx to regulations of eco terrorists and questionable designers choice bmw lost that soul and style.
0:34 "kind of a job"? Well that is insulting
To be fair, it’s not a job…. It’s a business 😉
No Sreten you are not in Macedonia you are in Skopje...
Random old German guy calling himself "JP"... cringe.
Sreten je Srbin
Paravi Srbin,majstorcina!💪💪
