I’m watching this a second time. No one can stop me.
I do the same and I use the 2 German words I know when shit goes bad.
Well, proceed at your own risk then.
Chinese authorities left the chat.
Do you dare go in for a third?
R Torical It’s just a matter of time.
I’ve been a BMW tech for almost 20 years. My pride and joy was a 2001 740i sport. I installed intake manifold from the m60 motor, updated the radio to bm53 flat pin so I could do factory aux input and the list goes on. It was modified but all factory parts. You sir, deserve that car ! Great job.
Modifying factory parts is the best way to respect the original look of the car
@@SzwarcuKX5 and using hashtags trying to look cool when you don't know their purpose is unoriginal
Ive said this before, and ill say it again, never stop uploading, this is some grade A content, 30 mins flew by
I agree
So true! I would point this is the best car channel of them all.
Yeah man. I love this channel. I hope it doesnt end actually hahaha

Ikr aye like 30 mins goes by soo quick watching his vids
I like the this guy specially because he cleans everything he touched.
he left the other intake manifold like that with glue. was dissapointed by that
@@Ajay-kl8el there was no need to remove it because that side had no faults and it would be many wasted hours
@@THEADZBRADZ it was glued on. By God knows what glue they used. A chunk of the hard glue residue could fall into the cams and cause damage. He should have opened it and replaced with an open gasket
I must admit that I would have had to remove the glue on the other side as well - perfectionism is strong on me ;-) .
Germans...
This guy’s content is better than anything I watch on Netflix
Perhaps because this isn't politicised.
U can watch him go on for half an hour and not skip one second. There are few youtubers who can do this nowadays. Good job, keep it up can't wait for the E60!
Yeah, and he manages to do it all without some awful fake up-voice hype man persona. It's like he has actual content or something :D

Sreten is one of the tidiest, most competent mechanics I have ever seen and his videos are real gems. Thank you Sreten.
stargate2002 but he is not a mechanic! He works in IT 🤣! But I agree 💯%. An mechanical hero!
I bet when you see something out of place in the car while driving, you keep looking at it with fix anxiety. Keep up that attention to detail bud.
100 % this car been used in UAE which there is coins on center console , btw aweer they bring cars with good condition which cost 5 k Euro I'm checking the market always
The problem in UAE they don't know how to fix BMW e38 because takes too much time and no one wants to work with it 😒 that's why I want to open work shop in UAE repair only BMW
@@alis.4121 So you are telling me nobody can repair their car in UAE, and you want to open a repair shop. That's sound like an excellent idea, I wish you all the best.
@@arkm7792 yes because it's too hot and to open workshop it's expansive and you get fine for no reason
@@LEGIOXIIIG are you in UAE?
Project Dubai makes me that much closer to make the next project on the channel be a heavily neglected 750il! Awesome videos! Thank you for all your hard work!
You are absolutely unbelievable. As a German I can only imagine how much this huge job would’ve cost at a BMW dealership and I’m perfectly sure it would’ve never ever been that thorough. I work on old hydropneumatic Citroen’s everybody thinks are complicated. Compared to this here, they are an absolute walk in the park and I will never complain ever again! Premium content! Please keep on doing it!
17:55 ah yes, classic balkan swearing while working on a car.😂
Inače svaka čast na strpljenju i na živcima!
Cak i kratak fitilj balkanski osim psovke 😀
Dobar je mali 😂😂
Već neko vreme ga pratim, i uvek mi je dolazila misao da je sa Balkana... Toliko znanje o automobilima, naravno i naglasak dok govori engleskim jezikom... A i i ma nekako "našu" facu... Svaka mu čast!
Ima nas smisao za humor
@@snake381 aj to sve, ali čovjek ima znanja, strpljenja i talenta za ove stvari. Sve prekrasno detaljno obradi da nebi nijedan mehaničar/tehničar sa balkana pa i šire
Brate, ladno sam mislio da ovo radi neki Svabo, kad ono nas covjek. Pratim te odavno, klipovi i rad su ti top!
nisi jedini :D
And then he said: "U pizdu materinu bre lepu" , and it was clear as day :D
17:56 hahahah
pa on je danas vise svabo nego zemljak, jedino sto mora naucit je svabski jezik XD
I absolutely LOVE your attention to detail! Especially the fact that you thoroughly clean EVERYTHING in the area(s) that you're working on! I go bananas when I see someone throw a part back on without cleaning the area in which it goes first! To me, that says a lot about the caliber of work a person does. And your work, my friend, is always of the highest caliber! Thanks for the quality content you produce! It's not only informative, but entertaining, as well! Good Job!
Thank you for watching!
Hey, I've been following this project since the first episode was uploaded. All I want to say is: Wow, I'm really glad you were the one who picked up this 750. You were exactly the owner this car needed to be resurrected, after all the hack jobs/mechanics that were working on it prior! This episode was really my favorite of the bunch, seeing how far she's come and finally passing inspection. Your attention to detail is outstanding. This is a similar reason why I decided to start working on my cars myself- I simply don't trust a mechanic to put this much careful work into a job.
This E38 is very lucky you came along and saved her from rotting in the desert. Wishing you many happy miles of autobahn runs after you get the plates!
Many thanks!
@@M539Restorations svaka cast majstore!
@sundanske my Kuwaiti friend, any 10 year old car that has lived in Germany is a rustbucket. Cars from middle east = no rust, thats why he bought it.
Kakav Netflix, tvoje epizode se iščekuju više nego bilo kakva serija, kralju, samo tako nastavi. Svaka čast!
Ahhhh yeah!! Bedtime will have to be delayed for some sarcastic BMW action 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
If there was a prize awarded to the best mechanic in all Germany, he'd be in total admiration and awe with your professionalism & know-how. Absolutely outstanding!
Man this is great content, no fancy music or anything else, just great DIY nice and calm.
Keep up the good work
"I'm looking forward to taking this for a drive and seeing what else breaks" - Comment of the week haha.
I actually stopped watching other repair channels that make everything look sooooo easy when working on old cars....this here is the most realistic channel I know....no matter how good you are, the car will fight back and there is always swearing....:) great job. I am looking forward to seeing you and your car around Frankfurt on the A3 or A5
Brilliant, what a great way to start the day. Haha I actually said “yay” out loud when I saw you and released a new video.🥳
Lepo je videti da imamo poliglote i kompetentne mehanicare u svetu.Uvek se otme po neka psovka koja nas izda u onda,shvatim da gledam naseg coveka.SVAKA CAST za posvecenost i profesionalizam prezentovan u videu (vise nastavaka)
You're like a god of BMW. I also appreciate your references to top gear and Doug de mouro, with you being where to speak the most common off the european languages. Cheers, your videos have taken up much of my life.
Omg, finally I met someone who as obsessed with cars as me. I took my E46 into another level of detailing/rebuilding including the engine. Overall it cost me like 7-8k euros and at the end of the day I'm a bit scared to drive that car on an urban street where it's a big of a chance that someone might just run into your car and ruin it completely and the insurance company just say "Alright here's your 2000 euros for your old BMW - go buy a new one"
That is exactly what happened to me just a couple weeks ago on my 07 Audi Q7 which I've owned since new and only has 68K miles. It was time to do some updating to it to give it the S-Line look and I spent $6K+ on paint work, interior and exterior replacement/upgrades and larger 21" rims & tires. Once it was complete 2 weeks later an older woman rear ended me! The insurance company would NOT pay to fix the car! All that work was a complete waste! The insurance settlement is hardly enough to buy a replacement! I'm out a car and paying for someone else's negligence...ARGHHH!!!
Have it appraised, so your insurance actually pays you more if it gets wrecked. Your premium probably will go up for that specific car, but it's worth it.
Justin Roiland hey man I feel the same way! I’ve already spent $6000 US on my 2001 740i m sport and I am the one working on it haha I still have a lot to do to get it done but it’s all about what you really like and enjoy working on your own car.
@@Swordie100 Yeah we pushed the insurance company multiple times for a higher valuation of the car with comparisons and receipts of all the work done. After weeks of back and forth they eventually settled on an amount that would cover repairing the car. After 2 months from the incident I picked up the car yesterday and forgot how good the car looked after all the upgrades I had done. The car was nicely polished and gleaming in the sun, it looked fresh off the showroom floor. Very happy that I was able to get the car fixed and not sent to auction.
@@DB-ul2zd Ah you did that! Here you have to have it actually appraised. Well done on your part tho.
I've got to say, this is one of my favorite channels. I really love the way you approach repair and restoration. Great job and really looking forward to your next video!
Thank you!
I admire the detailed work on the car, when doing the headlights, engine, every part the cleaning gets me hooked. Exactly what I would do and therefore it makes me happy to watch all the video’s, I love it!

why i dig this guy..humor...severe mechanical aptitude...killer cars...and fantastic editing...
Every time I watch one of your videos (all of them) I go down to the garage to ‘work on my cars’, when I remember I don’t know anything about fixing cars, nor do my cars need fixing, so entertained.
I cant pinpoint satisfaction on each fix, just an overall deep feeling of total satisfaction at the end.
What a pleasure to watch.
Thank you.
Best channel and best content on UA-cam 👍
I'm watching through entire Dubai series so don't hold back in your future videos. Fing A
This guy does all the electrical, electronic and engine works. Usually, those specialties are done by different specialists!
The former mechanic on this car is an absolute lunatic 😂😂
Some low key arabic "mechanic" in Dubai's poor end i suppose
There are shitty mechanics all over the world, in every country, in every village I would say. Sometimes I can't blame them, working on time/money stress of rushed customers, but a BMW deserves better than that
Mahmood Y.H That sounds about right.... 👍😉
You had me burst out laughing on the "drivers and drinkers side"
I just noticed that too. Little things like that show you've really been watching every single millisecond of his work.
My Grandad said that when I was a little guy. Sometimes he'd tell my Dad........ "If you don't mind , I believe I'll need to ride in the drinkers seat" lol
Man I just love this channel! I completely understand tearing apart those parts! The crap we get aftermarket is sometimes shameful.
I cant love this video enough. Finally someone who has integrity and always does the right thing. No shortcuts and all correct repairs. God, I love this!
I watched this project more than 4 times. You are one of the kind sir, you dont talk to much, you go straight to the point and not messing around. Real OG.
I've watched this like 12 times and I'm not kidding, dead serious, love your content ❤️
-Time to bed?
-Naah.. new video uploaded ❤
Great job passing TUV. I can’t believe they used glue on the valve covers. Just unbelievable. You are a better man than me. Great job fixing their mess.
So many bad mechanics destroying perfectly good cars. I have an F30 with the n13 engine and had a valve cover gasket issue. When I went to a shop here in Singapore, I was told that only 2 shops here knew how to replace it properly and wanted to charge me $600. I bought the gasket for $40, went home, and replaced it myself. It's really hard to find good mechanics .. many of them don't even believe in using torque wrenches. You are an inspiration!.
HAHAHAHA second time ive watched this and i just realized hes from mother yugoslavia when he was mad at the kidney-grill and cursed at it i did same to one of mine
Haha i ja sam isti. Po drugi put gledam sve klipove i sad sam skužio da je naš hahaha😂😂
I used to own one of these for more than 2 years. Same color. Constantly something broke down. Could never enjoy it for more than a week without the check engine light coming on. Loved it when drove it but I finally gave up. One of the happiest days of my life when I sold it.
A job well done! Project Dubai playlist needs to be updated
17:54 pa gdje si susjed 😂
Hahahaahhaha ja kada sam cuo morao sam par puta da vratim
nas covek
@@prota_0240 ahahaha i ja isto :D
Pozitivno sam sokiran bio, da li zna neko odakle je covek i otkud odjednom psovka na "nasem" 😂
Hahahaha, ima nas izgleda dosta koji ga gledamo 😃
Genijalno radi lik, svaka čast na pažnji
Sreten, I’ve watched this series about 3 times now and just finished doing the retrofitlabs bixenon kit on my 01 740i sport. Thank you for making such entertaining and helpful content
Seeing this video , I see why if you are serious about restoring a car. You get what you pay for
It’s art , tech combined with passion
17:56 Did I just heard you speaking Serbian? 🙃 Amazing vidos, I really enjoy watching them! Btw there is one 850i in front of my tower, in AD might waiting on you 😁.
Svi smo čuli. 😂
i strongly doubt most people in america would restore a bmw like this. Makes this video much more satisfying as most people would leave them when they get expensive.
I absolutely love your attention to details. Like cleaning parts that never even see the light of day like the area behind the license plate holder. Success to you and your channel.
why would someone use freaking GLUE to "seal" the engine!?
they use slave labor in the desert
maybe they had the great idea that the glue would keep the sand out xD ...like anakin already said...sand gets everywhere
@bittercottoncandy Camel hoof.
I know it's bad but hay it's not leaking
When my E38 left me stranded in some remote holiday resort, with a severely leaking water pump, I found out the hard way that contact glue was used to seal the two o rings that seal on the two water pipes that run to and from the rear of the engine. You can imagine how much fun that was. M62 engine btw.
Exzellente Arbeit!
Komme auch aus Frankfurt. :)
I have no idea about fixing cars but this is pure entertainment.
Your videos are gold as every car you deal has some different type of restoration and are very helpful for an average enthusiast.
Mate with your kind of patience you will never have an issue with a woman 😂 well done
OH THANK YOU..... just your work on the headlights was a joy to watch, and that was less than 7 minutes into the video. Again thank you and all the best.
"shouting" oh yes that is something I am often using, as we say in the UK "the air turns blue"(because of the foul words being used).
You sir are a very good mechanic to watch and learn,really gives me joy to watch...
Best car channel on UA-cam, thanks so much for posting your videos
what i'm most impressed with is your cleaning ability
I like how easily the left side of things come off with a satisfying pop
cool guy. if every mechanic was that precise and accurate, the world would be a little better. every minute is worth watching. keep up the good work, i think it's great
I’m so jealous how you can overcome one problem than the other. this 7 series and being silver, 100 percent classic true bmw.
17:53 german's reaction to chinese parts
“Of course it falls into the bucket. Why wouldn’t it?”
Lol I’ve literally said nearly the exact words countless times. I have identical reactions when I’m working on cars and run into similar issues.
Greetings from California good sir. You have truly excellent content.
I've been working on cars and motorcycles for many years, and I've discovered a rule that says "if there is an open container/bucket/trough of oil/coolant/brake fluid anywhere in the room, anything that is dropped will end up there" ;)
Wonderful job. Your attention to detail is awesome. If I could own a e38 750il you would certainly be the man to restore it.
Love the detail, the humor and the process. One of my favorite wrenching channels.
One of the best channels. You are good at this type of video, not silly and full of annoying titles or music like a lot of other videos. We love the torque wrench clicks, thats music!
I don't own BMW but I enjoy watching your work. Amazing
Mann, ich mag deine Art wie du die Videos machst, das ist immer ein besonderes Highlight wenn ein neues raus kommt. Da nehme ich mir die Zeit um es ungestört zu schauen.
Danke!
What a great guy - superb mechanic and soo funny - you have the sense of humour of the British ! I so look forward to seeing new vids come out
Better than meditation,this stuff is good for your soul. Best garage videos by far, great camera shots, every word matters and no stupid music. ., Sreten I hope you keep doing what you are doing . Thanks for sharing with us. ...☺ now I am going to clean my space☺
This is proper inspiring! Never will I skip cleaning parts before re-installing again. Thank you!
Watching your channel has taught me so much about my own E31 12cylinder. Keep it up!
Owned many BMW’s over the years.! wish I had a real mechanic like you local to me trust me people would keep cars for a lot longer if they had people like you doing things right.!
This guy is amazing. Does not cut corners at all.
Love his work.
I love that you are restoring cars a lot of people would have just written off, and restoring them well. Keep it up my good man.
I Could watch this man work for hours. His attention to detail is amazing.
Because of you Doctor-Professor I have learned to love my E38..many thanks
what I like about you is that even you probably are fan of BMW but you comment about everything truthfully. I am Audi guy ;]
Your level of work is outstanding, you must have been a Master Technician for BMW
Never had much joy with anything Vaico and on breathers I always run genuine BMW but I hope they work for you
your video reminds me of how beautiful he e38 was...probably the best looking 7 series ever!
Encouraging to think that such deep restoration of these old flagships can be profitable.
thanks god to have someone like you in UA-cam
This guy... simply awesome. This is the third project playlist i’ve watched and im loving every single minute of this guy work! Legend!!!
I love how thorough you are, I'd take my car to you any day!
Gledam tvoje klipove vec duze vreme i samo sam cekao da proradi balkanska krv, to ne moze da se sakrije. 😁🤯
I thought that I was the only one who cussed and shouted when fixing my cars! Jumped on crappy aftermarket bits and wished some hopeless previous mechanics dead! I think you're are rapidly becoming a hero for me. Can't wait for you to hurtle down an autobahn in that V12 M39.
I ran a 1998 M39 Touring from new for 15 years. If the driver's side folding mirror is slow almost certainly the gears are dry that side too. All four electric windows failed on my E39 due to the acetal plastic pulleys breaking up. Wrong material for that application. I'd be checking all four window mechanism pulleys for cracks - before they broke. Then I'd be making replacements in 30% glass filled nylon. Mechanisms made by Brose.
dieses Startgeräusch von dem V12 Motor - einfach Traumhaft
I love the way you‘re commenting your own work, your detailing, the cutting of your videos and especially your German 🙃.
Great stuff!
This channel is fantastic 👏👏👏
"Parabéns" from Portugal 👏👏
Damn these series are out of this planet, keep it up!
Great work and videos! Keep it up. What you keep calling brake lines are actually brake hoses. The lines are the metal ones. Long Live BMW!
I also have an E38 project but you really pay attention to the details. Really great video! Thanks
You make it look so easy working on this car. I just bought one and the engine bay looks tight!
Your local BMW dealer will always be happy to help.
I'm watching in TURKEY . You are really funny guy. I like your style and working style and I love E38. It is a dream car for me. Please continue your good job with E38. Good luck.
This car is just beautiful 🤩 Your workmanship is just awesome 👏
oh!!!! you import from Dubai!!! Canadian guy here wondering how this relic is without a dime of rust. OK!!! I get it... btw... inspection? The inspector will give you the thumbs up with only a looksie at the fact that this car looks like it just rolled of the assembly line. Nice work!!! Enjoying your work man!!! Thanks!!!
Just respect how clean and perfect you are working 👍
Love your videos ,your attention to detail is amazing. E36 owner from South Africa
