- In this episode, we set about bringing back to life this legendary 1991 BMW E31 850i 6-speed that's been decommissioned for the last 10 years. But the big 12-cylinder lump had some "expert" work done on it which makes things a bit more difficult.

Sure
done
I love your channel and I would love to buy some merchandise to support you but I was wondering (hoping) if you could release some posters of some photos of your cars?? Especially the E39 M5
Got my M539 Restorations t-shirt!!!
This channel combines so many things I love: Rad-era BMW's, thorough workmanship, Germany, good puns, and of course like-minded dudes.
+ OEM
Awesome!!
And good mechanical tips!!! I love this channel so damn much!
@@M539Restorations gütentite!
@@M539Restorations also like the sense of humor
A moment of silence for all the ppl who still have not found this channel
do not recommend to anyone :D psssssst
Fi real.
What for? Theyre probably working on their car instead of procrastinating :D
@@srdjan988 No!! The more that know the better for Sreten!!!!
I cannot understand why this channel doesn’t have a million subscribers.
The more I watch this channel the more I'm convinced. It's not that BMW's are unreliable, it's that so many mechanics don't know how to work on them. It's either that or their cheap shortcuts don't work!
Great work.
Cheap short cuts nuh cheap at all, an dem never work out either.
@objective see, imagine the conversation between owner and so called mechanic trying to blame the car for not working and fleece more money.
80s bmw and 90s bmws are reliable and lower maintenence. E39 era are excellent but more leaks and issues. After that it seems oil leaks and such are engineered into the car in lovable ways. Many mechanics are poor w bmws but they're good cars. I'd stick to maybe 70s, 80s for sure, 90s are OK, 2000 era (01 7 series, 03 5 Series, 05/06 3 series) after that is questionable in my. Opinion and not as desirable.
No, they are unreliable. Don't kid yourself. They are also engineered to do things that your average 200,000-mile running Toyota could not dream of doing.
You make a good point. We currently own three 2001 BMWs: a 740i, a 740iL, and a 325ci. Our independent mechanic is an absolute expert, on par with Sreten here, and our cars keep running better than they did before. (If I had to rely on dealer service, I would probably sell all three.). These cars really need someone who absolutely knows them inside and out to repair and maintain them. We are fortunate to have such a person.
Still don’t understand why this channel hasn’t reached 1M subscribers yet.
a good meal is simmered for hours. you can't just rush it.
Was just thinking that...
You've reached the UA-cam status where no amount of content is enough content... at least for me. Kudos on the success. You deserve it.
Exactly the same for me, neeeddd moarrr contenttttt!
+1
randosabound - VERY much agreed!
Made in West-Germany. I forgot how Old this Car is, because its so timeless.
If youre talking about the ”wall” times its not, this car was made after it fell
It's timeless until you open the dual distributor caps.
@@chooseymomschoose i was amazed they still had distributor caps back on the v12
Not only is this guy extremely talented, he's somehow entertaining with his commentary. Love it.
7:28 "Again, there's a proper tool for this, which I don't have, so I'm going to go with the smacky-smack..."
It sounds like you had the right tool the whole time...
I always prepare for watching your new videos like crazy. Prep a nice breakfast, make sure nothing will disturb me, turn off my phone and just enjoy your skills. Saturday morning could not be better :-)
Thank you!! :)
Same here, but it's Sunday in Australia. A mug of tea, put on the headphones and settle in. A great channel and a great way to start the day :-)
Likewise here in NZ. Best way to wake up on a Sunday morning.
@@chrisp.2544 A good place to wake up in. I'd move there tomorrow if I could persuade the other half.
@@M539Restorations Greetings from Bulgaria. I'm a Mercedes Enthusiast but love old BMWs that you revive. Keep it up!
Can't believe so many parts are still there from the factory in 91 😂 Man I need an 8 series..
My 2001 E39 was running ok on all original everything in 2018. Refreshed everything since.
And só do i...
@@TheHeretic435 currently refreshing my 540i, 150k miles and 23 years old and it’s just starting to have issues
Meanwhile in 2016 I bought BMW 318i year 2007 with less than 100 000 kilometres and in need of replacing everything...
@@bokibo87 thats literature the worst car you could buy, sorry.
"The tiny shed where forgotten legends come back to life" Exactly why its so good. No commercial crap every 5 minutes.
You have some solid tricks theyv saved me SO much money by now on my E46 and E39! Keep it up!
Glad I found this channel so “late”, which means I have a bunch of videos to see. 80’s and 90’s German quality, I’m more in to German tractors but cars works to 😃
When you open with "Welcome to "Part 2" (and shows 4 fingers) joke, you just know you are going to love the next 37 minutes.
Only down side is that the 37 minutes go by too quickly..
I think it would be hilarious if you sold “carbon fiber” towels on your website branded with your logo on it
I'd buy it!
Gonna sell like hot blueberry muffins!
@@M539Restorations Merch in EU we can actually buy and not pay customs taxes???? It needs to happen
Hahahaha only after reading your comment I got his joke about the towels ! I’m so stupid
Maybe you could sell alongside left handed screwdrivers?
"Enter the tiny shed where forgotten legends come back to life" ... so dig this guy
It might be 30 yrs old but it is such a beautiful car it deserves all this care and attention - the comedy act is an extra treat!
I love his videos because he has one simple philosophy. Do it right every time! He also doesn't skimp by using aftermarket junk parts.
This dude singelhandedly makes the percentage of these cars on the roads rise :)
This Guy has worked on so many 8 series now it's basically muscle memory
Dude. The new outro is perfect - bringing Shattered cars alive again.
I want to visit and "help" out - even if it is just to clean spiderwebs or remove rust from parts.
So much to learn. Even "basic" stuff!
The best days are M539 upload days
Oh fancy new intro!
All I can to this guy is he is a master technician with fixing cars. I wish l had his skills.
Like the many of them from former Yugoslavia, people there can fix anything...and I mean anything.
0:10 I like that blue poster on the wall. " Keep it classy Keep it OEM"
Love the older BMW's🎀
"Eaten by rodent or angry human"...I'm dead. 🤣
Same goes for me🤣
Your videos are the only ones that i watch entirely without a single skip. Amazing!
Thanks, David!
@@M539Restorations Thank you for the amazing content
Me too - normally I watch almost everything 1,75 speed. M539 I am watching normal speed not to miss ANYTHING he is doing and it seems always to be too short... this is how much I like this guy and his way of working
The carbon fibre towel is an evolution of the glass-fibre towel, itself a successor to the unsuccessful and short lived aluminium towel.
cool
"The tiny shed where forgotten legends come back to life", love it😂💓
I laugh way more watching this show than watching stand up. LOVE the humor and content. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Norway
After a day of being dragged around the shops, I come home to this and all is well again. Thanks.
Sreten, I must say that I love how you film and edit your videos. I hate when youtubers move the camera like if it was a drone, going everywhere. It pleases my eyes and brain when you skip the parts where you have to put or remove numerous bolts like the min 2:07 . It pleases my body when you skip the part where you move and change the camera angle so we can see what are you doing. You are the only channel where I don't skip parts while watching. I watch bedazzled from start to end. I can recognized the effort you put into the filming and editing in every step. I'm subscribed to 250+ channels, and you my friend, you are my #1. Thank you for pleasing my intestines and eyeballs with every video you upload
would love to have a shed full of German beers with this guy...videos are awesome.
Hello, my name is Roman and I watch your videos from Belarus Minsk. I like the way you renovate and repair BMW cars.
I have E90
Vitau, siabar
Lo mejor son esos comentarios en español aquí y allá cada cierto tiempo, love this channel
Que paso perro
I don't want the video to stop. I'm just so interested in watching the whole car done in one sitting. Haha.
i really don’t know what i love most, the workmanship or the commentary 😁😁😁
Brilliant stuff here.
Whilst I love the tiny shed, I have EVERYTHING crossed that you make enough from this to get a bigger garage. You sincerely deserve it! Loving the videos as always chum
M539 is LEGEND again ! Love the way you apply you’re humour, enthusiasm and knowledge in breathing life back into these old icons
Uhhh fancy new in- and outro, very nice!
As for the "specialist" that got their fingers on the car: Probably some french dude who normally repairs 2CVs instead. Can't blame him for trying to fix 10 more cylinders than he's used to.
Damn it Sreten, I would donate a billion euros to you so that you can fix every legendary BMW left to rot that exists... If I could, naturally. I love your content and you are probably my favourite UA-camr of all time. Keep it up!
Sreten, you're a madman. Don't ever change. Love the new intro/outro too.
M539.... the place of peace for BMW enthusiasts. It nice to see these fine machines getting a new lease of life. Great content and fantastic workmanship.
I'm still waiting for the BMW Group Classic to sponsor this guy. Hello? BMW are you there? There is only one way. The way of the OEM.
You pick those cars because you like to bring them back to life. And this is all for your enjoyment and ours... Keep doing it cause I love it. Aint it more interesting this way?
cant wait to rewatch this video about 3-5 times
I saw you and your 750iL / Projec Dubai when I went to Misha and Apex back in October last year. After that, I went to look you up on UA-cam, and of course, subscribed right away, and ever since that I really enjoying watching you work, and especially your sense of humor. 👌
I put these on at night to fall asleep to. Not kidding. Sleep ASMR.
I am rewatching these and I love your random spanish comments "la verdad que no entiendo" Golden!
It’s just brilliant to see how fast you bang out your new videos!
Thank god you were able to go full time this year! :)
Another video. Spoiling us here, my man. Insta like.
I will never skip a single video from you. This is the best BMW content UA-cam can ever offer!
BTW: All the dislikes came from the team of experts who professionally screwed everything up with this car
Everyone's favorite sound effect... The smackity smack of a fuel pump ring being removed or reinstalled 😂
I’d love to see a collaboration between you and Derek from Vice Grip Garage one day. Similar senses of humour, completely different cars
Totally. Sreten and Derek are my go-to you-tube fix!!
Looking forward to seeing how the spark plug thread repair works out, some real cowboys out there!!!
Love your vids and especially your patience 🤣
This guy is a genius. Wish I had him working on my E30 325i Sport.
Love the channel. Bringing back to life classic, high performance BMW vehicles is respecting the car and the builders of the car. Not only is it reminiscent of an era that is slowly becoming history, it's keeping the goodness of that era alive. Well done.
The "excess" bolts and screws should go into an armrest or some other cubby, so that if someone chooses to reassemble then everything will be available.
Do the favour for the next custodian.
When your ignition wires get eaten by a rodent or an angry human.. that moment got me good! 🤣
guten Abend from England. This is by far.my favourite youtube channel and I'm learning all sorts about bmw . I have a 2005 530i best car I've ever had
I'm not even a BMW dude but your videos are very entertaining and I always look forward to the next one. Thank you and keep up the great work!
I've never heard anyone else call it 'go go juice' I love it, I'm not alone.🤣
I can't belive those fuel lines just hang down like that! Obviously you try to avoid debris on the road, but that just seems like an easy way to get stranded. Great work dude!
As years go by, I’m staring to understand that it’s much more interesting to spend another 40 minutes for your videos than to spend hours for some junky drag race or test drive videos from those who wants to make a hype on than stuff. Thank you for every new hint and knowledge so it can help me to make something similar! A proper BMW lover have to know how to maintain it in a proper way! So much things to do before installing the battery and starting the abandoned vehicle! Good luck!
Another fantastic video, thank you! Really need to get a 12-pack of Carbon Fiber Towels and 2-pack of Fogging Oil for Men.
Svaka ti čast pozdrav iz Norveške,znam da znaš da čitaš čuo sam te kako psuješ ,kanal je strava
Absolutely love your videos. I’m not really a mechanic but have tinkered here and there. You have a way of making your videos very enjoyable and the humour adds to it. Love the “Jackie Chan” Torque Wrench.
I’ve never been a fan of BMW’s as I much prefer Audi but I look forward to seeing your updates. Please never stop making these videos. 100% excellence. Thank-you.
Those belts are a hymn to properly used material, up to their last possible turn.
Snowing one minute & then sunny not long after, not just Germany it happens here in the U.K, barmy British weather we say 😄
I am pretty sure that it was the british who have invented this weather.
@@guzziwheeler 😂 yep, only country I’ve seen where there is black clouds, it’s raining & the sun is out at the same time!
You got to news in România, good luck with what you do!
Really? What they said?
Why am I watching this at 7:30am on the first day of my holiday? I don't even like BMW that much (owns a 'Money' Cooper), but it's so enjoyable to watch
Nice video. Tks for the lessons. Greetings from Brazil. Learn Portuguese now. It will be fun.
Tu español mejora cada nuevo capítulo. Un abrazo desde España!
We need more Sretens to get more magnificent videos!!
I'm relatively new to the BMW world,
Purchased a very neglected 325i and have had many a fun weekend under in and on top of the car.
The amount of people who have told me that BMW's are junk and not worth the time or money,
It's really nice to watch this channel and see someone's passion and skill for putting cars back on the road,
Using oem quality and care,
I love the way everything gets cleaned.
Keep up the awesome work.
I never liked mechanic works but this guy made it joyful
*Kidney Grill Drops*
"Thank God its not the new 7 series" 😂😂😂
Ok we’ve seen English, Deutsch, Spanish and some Poland here and there but when are you planning to speak a full phrase in Italian apart from “Numero Uno”? 😂 Fantastic video as always, for a car enthusiast this is heaven, greetings from Southern Italy and hope you come visiting in these parts some days 😇
I just watched a 37 minutes video and didn't feel the time at all... That's how entertaining it was... Keep it up 👌💪
I love watching your videos and I think this is the best entertainment in UA-cam
Greetings from Norway
Thank you for your time 👌
"Thank god it's not the new 7 series." - Yeah you would have lost your foot.
Didn't expect to spit out my coffee this lovely Sunday morning.
You got us hooked, we want more! Good luck!
Muy excelente! Including sarcasm and carbon fiber towels.
Three things:
1. Most priceless comment @23:37 “It’s going to run, boys! Mark my words. And then I am going to eat them later...” 🤣👍🏻
2. New merch is superb. Keep it up!
3. Watching you repair the greatest generation of BMW vehicles is the most satisfying thing on the internet.
At last something good to watch on UA-cam ! ❤️🙌
Pozdrav iz Canade! Have been watching and subbed for a while, only recently found out you’re a fellow Balkan with an interest in old BMW’s. Keep up the good work!
Sadly I sold my 28,000 mile 850 Ci back in 2008 as I didn’t have the great know how and expertise advice on servicing my 1993 model which I would have gained from your fantastic videos on the E31s. The local BMW dealer wasn’t really interested in TLC on a “old” car. Thank you for the most entertaining and commonsense videos, you have brightened up my reminiscences.
Love the new intro and outro!
I was waiting for this more than anything else (life in quarantine isn't much fun lol)
Get yourself a 90' shit box and go for it. No better time to have a project car
@@rainer-nachbarschaftsschutz Couldn't agree more. Bought an 88 Jetta on March 2020. Made quaratine so much shorter.
It’s really helpful when you are mentioning torque values , thank you 😊
How am I just discovering this channel ! I’ve had 8 bmws and the 8 series still tops my car bucket list! Amazing work
Si, tu español esta mejorando. Felicidades!
Intro and outro are awesome! F4ck yeah. Don’t ever change man - you are awesome! 👍🏻
have a feeling that you exceed most, if all, master BMW mechanics at any dealer in the world..your depth of knowledge and expertise is stunning..much admiration and respect..if you didn't have such a successful YT channel one wonders what you could make being a full time engine restorer, and/or car restorer..btw..going to buy Bosch stock..
BMW technician make fancy outro graphics! Bravo, sir!
21:20 I had the same issue with the OEM MAF being very expensive on an M62 engine. I was able to find an OE Bosch MAF for a VW that was compatible for much cheaper and swapped sensors. Takes a lot of research but could save some money
@Razeen Francis Checked my receipts and the part number is 63136 or 06A906461A from Bosch. Fits the Jetta and friends. Had some security screws that were a bit of a pain but it fit the M62 BMW MAF housing perfectly and solved all my MAF-related issues for years. That particular sensor is different from the V12 in the video but maybe looking at some older vehicles/parts there could be a similar match.
Im so happy, Ed is back, you posting regularly, my life is better now.
The happy hour of the week! I enjoy like nothing else the videos plus the great sense of humor.Good job Sreten. Be careful with the helicoil of the spark plug threads and the metal savings.There are some tips how to eliminate the savings into the cylinder.
I find it oddly satisfying seeing someone work on cars like this
Definitely one of my favorites channels can’t say that enough love these videos
