Does anyone watch M539 Restorations?

Mani59 · 10-25-2023, 10:27 AM

Part 8 of Project Rottweil (E39 530i Touring) is now up.
Time to go supercharging.

M3_Legend · 10-25-2023, 11:53 AM

Yea that E39 wagon is super rare. I’m really looking forward to the S65 rebuild! Can’t wait for that episode

This thing about fully compressing the belt tensioner 3 times so it gives good service life...could there be a shred of truth to it, or is tensioner life more dependent on your hairstyle?

Part 13 of Project Cologne (E46 330i Touring) is now up as we go through a E46 M3 rear end swap.

danb1979 · 11-10-2023, 03:58 AM

You can't beat a bit of Sreten on the box

His builds have been superb; really glad he's got his teeth into an E39 530i Touring... I am biased though

Mani59 · 11-16-2023, 10:12 AM

Part 14 of Project Cologne (E46 330i Touring) is now up!

WrathOTM · 11-16-2023, 11:18 AM

It's in the service manual/ISTA, I believe.Though it never really seems to work for me and I always end up going by feel instead of counting clicks

M539 Ring Taxi. Loved it, awesome episode.

Mani59 · 12-01-2023, 10:04 AM

Part 6 of Project Frankfurt (E92 M3) is now available.

toxik · 12-01-2023, 10:31 AM

Jbrown7403 · 12-01-2023, 02:24 PM

Watching now….pretty damn cool! Engine complexity always blows my mind!

SYT_Shadow · 12-01-2023, 07:20 PM

Super impressive s65 rebuild!

toxik · 12-13-2023, 03:41 PM

sreten posted on IG that the video hit over 1 million views. thats insane.

Well deserved - he did it right as usual

celsdogg · 12-14-2023, 09:54 AM

Like Sreten, I was also skeptical of the efficacy of pre-loctited bolts and screws. . .

Tambohamilton · 12-14-2023, 12:47 PM

I was a bit bemused by the loctite thing. Of course some of it gets spat out when you put the bolt in, but there's still enough there to do the job. The bigger issue for me is the prospect of chunklets of loctite getting sprinkled into the nice clean engine...

Mani59 · 12-18-2023, 10:22 AM

Slightly off-topic but Misha Charoudin has uploaded a video of him taking temporary ownership of Sreten wife's E70 X5.

A great update on all of the projects too and a quick chat with the landlord
