Watch and learn how to fix your own car at home with simple tools and save money. I post do it yourself videos about fixing cars at home. So if you're into cars or you just want to maintain your own car to save money, i believe my videos will give you a " how to" guidance on all the simple / advance repair and maintenance jobs on cars. I believe that learning the basics is the way to go when fixing cars so i always try to educate the basics of how different systems work in cars along with how they go bad before i show you to fix them.
So come long and subscribe to see more videos as i upload them.

I bought a USED BMW for only $725, Here's the reality,
Car restoration has always been my passion and in this video i show you the process of buying a used car which the owner thought had a bad head gasket. In this case, the car is an abandoned BMW e39 5 series. I then show you how to test a car for a bad head gasket including how to do a combustion gas leak test, how to do a compression test and how to do a cylinder leak down test only to find that the car doesnt have a bad head gasket. However the car does have a misfire so i then show you how to diagnose a car misfire step by step including testing the short term fuel trims and how to use smoke to find a hidden vacuum leak in car, which is the cause of the misfire. After fixing the misfire, i then show you a few Satisfying Car Restoration sneak peeks of the upcoming restoration of the car.

RUPES VS MEGUIAR'S !!! what is the best car polish?
Can't believe I watched from start to finish. No crappy music and was very hands on. I learned a lot just off this video alone. It was very easy to digest. Thanks for taking your time putting this together.
3 things that bothered me: 1. You put the serpentine belt on wrong. Shouldve gone under the idler pulley thats next to water pump 2. rtv for the thermostat housing - if you replace the gasket, rtv will only make it fail faster. I have done this mistake myself, properly putting it on without the rtv the gasket never failed for me or the next owner of the car. 3. too much rtv for valve cover gasket. Youre only supposed to put a little bit where the vanos meet the head and also a small amount on the corners of the half moons in the front on the head side.
you clearly don't know BMW. easy to get to..lol wait till you need to replace the gaskets.
Best video I have found for headlight restoration!
God bless you for this smart knowledge of diagnostics! So helpfull

E39 are the most beautiful sedans ever designed
Wow, subbed
I’ve learned so much.Videos like these should be in top.
Best brake video I have ever seen Tks for sharing your knowledge
come on guy give us a new video :D
Im guessing you are from Australia and if you are i am curious on how much it’s going to cost for an RWC
I have the same car but diesel, 525 tds. it falls to pieces. I bought it with great enthusiasm, here in Uruguay any piece costs a lot to get. The mechanics don't put much effort into it. I wish there was someone around these parts with such knowledge. So professional. With that natural talent. Totally surprised with your work. The best educational video. My God, how nice to see it. Greetings and best wishes.
Instant subscribe!
I saw one for 200$ running on fp
Excellent as usual.
Amazing content, presentations, and explanations. Hard work and talent shows. Thanks.
I have driven only straight six BMW E39's for the last fifteen years (eight cars in all) and do all my own work. I call 50% BS on this video. Half true, half BS.. They can be great cars, but a neglected example like this will cost ten to fifteen K to make a daily driver. It can be worth the investment! Never buy a V-8!, Unless you can spare 20 K to make a driver out of it. P.S The 50% BS rating was for what he left unmentioned.
This is a GREAT video. But really it's even more simple. Look up "Paint Society" (one of the best sources on youtube). He only uses two grits and finishes with 600, no polishing, just a couple coats 'Spray max USC 2k High Gloss Clearcoat' (they also make one just for headlights). Better than factory and so easy.
Excellent video!
It's amazing how clear and simple he explains everything, as others have mentioned I learned so much more about mechanics in a 30 minute video compared to countless hours of watching car content on youtube.
This is so satisfying....I'll gladly give you 5k for all the effort you put into it and a good cool car.
In the post soviet countries cars in same condition cost around 3000-4000usd and the salaries around 400-500$ per month 😢😢😢😢 750 it’s so cheap
Just get a temp gun and drive it check the temperature of shock after 10 hard bumps of miles and it should heat up
If you did all the work in 2 to 3 days, that´s a fair profit if you have another job.
When there would be a follow up video?
If car sellers were that honest people would actually enjoy buying a car. Sadly car flippers buy cars like yours, clean it, change the oil and filters and sell it for 4 times the price they payed....
Brother there’s a lot that goes into this video
Wow ❤
You either buy a BMW 725 or a $725 BMW
What do you do if it is on the inside of the lens?
very good video
great video! thanks!
This is by far the best made instructional video I've ever seen. Thank you!
This car was peak BMW--I had a direct injection 2013 and the fuel piping over top of the valve cover was super annoying
Why's your steering wheel on the wrong side?
Is anyone going to talk about the turn signals?!
Bro makes fixing a car look easy
Great!!!! What's the name of the chemical used in step 2 buffing [ ultimate what?] Thanks
Nice smoke machine!
damn really lowballed tf outta him 😭
Excellent info right there 💪
Bro 0:18 that car had dem "up&down spiders"😂😂
now we know why the owner price was asking for 1k
Wow, explanations like I have never seen in my life...Then the 5 series running like a top...must see this full cleaned and road able...Excellent stuff sir.
Awesome, but what's the cost of all the tools and testing kits, >5k$?
Top job.
I’m not a bmw guy but it’s person really made it look almost too easy
It's so cheap cause youre buying the problems
