I used to have a 745i, best car I ever had, unfortunately the gearbox went, writing it off. It had the white smoke when idle, but otherwise it was a proper autobhan panzer.
Mobile 1 with WIX filters. Please don't get upset - AMSOIL is the other brand I'd use. 🙂

I've always loved your channel but ever since you have gone full time with it, added Peter and Max to the team, and starting uploading more it has been awesome. You put in a lot of work and it shows. Not only working on the cars and filming, but the amount of leg work it takes to manage all these projects and their parts and plans. Thanks Alex, love the content, keep it up.
Agreed. Powerhouse team
Yeah, this is one of my favorite channels now.
The alpina looks fantastic you guys rock beautiful car
Absolutely, actual work gets done, explained well, real results, much tire smoke!
If you haven’t seen it, M539 Restorations had quite an ordeal with his Alpina. Worth a watch!
@@supermotos Alex is also very legit and get close to M539....
He's in a different category of perfectionist
@@willemp6432 Agreed. One of my few favorite channels. Love the detail and entertainment.
There is a collaboration comming between them
Oh god M539 has the perseverance of a Saint with that car!
Sorry guys, I know it was confusing that I showed 5w30 and 5w40 during the oil change but I did not mix. I just used the 5w30 which is what BMW calls for. I just had the other weights oil out with the other products to show them all off and accidentally had them in the scene where I'm filling the oil.
I'm surprised some caught that. People are strange. 😉
It really wouldn't have mattered anyhow.
The engine flush, that's what concerns me. Lol
Bro who cares.....great job...
If you want to know how to deep clean buttons or sticky area in the interior, use a steamer and steam clean, don’t get to close and you can fade the buttons and if that happens just get some ceramic coating just tiny bit and put it over the button and it bring it back to look new again
Technically you can mix oils, you can make a 5w35, I would only do it with matching oils tho, and BMW's will take anything from 0w30 to 5w40, only in hot climates tho.
Absolutely gorgeous result. One of the reasons you’re so well respected is your honesty. Most other people would just sell the car and let the future issues be the new owners responsibility. Hopefully the new owner gets many fun miles and appreciates what they’ve got. As you said, an enthusiast car!
So true, I don’t know what the first 100k miles looked like, but I’d it’s maintained right, it might be able to go for another hundred more AS LONG AS THEY MAINTAIN IT!!!
PS Alex, thank you for finally showing a promised detail video, it’s been quite a while
Vortex gun. Handy in many way. A old school detailer... that made the inside look great. So can use to clean. Then put oil and clean and power will work great. No contact cleaning needed. God bless mick Australia. Old boy )
@@silentracer911 An older BMW needs more than just regular maintenance to keep it running, if you’re a pro like Alex, no biggie! But if you’re just a regular Joe who can only manage “light” repairs and maintenance, steer clear of those European beauties! Those cars are HEARTBREAKERS! That’s what they are!
I don’t watch car channels but somehow this is my favorite CZcams channel and probably my favorite show period. I think the reason why is Because Alex has ethics I appreciate and the family friendly content is 👍 I love the stories and goals that drives the show. The cast is amazing love Alex, Peter, Max and of course the lady behind the scenes Mrs Alex. Just a great channel.
Thanks Chris, this mean a lot.
Nicely stated, Chris! I feel exactly the same. Never miss an episode!
I love Alex’s LSC videos because you actually learn stuff every video! You’re a great mechanic dude 🫡
I have been using AmsOil products since 1977, have had no engine failures on any of my cars or motorcycles from lubrication deficiencies. I also use it in all my vehicles and am a preferred customer myself.
Blue Streak ignition products by Standard have been around for decades, used to use their ignition points and condensers way back several decades ago when ignition was mechanical, they held up the best!
Thanks for a cool video, Alex!
few engines with proper maintenance suffer and oil caused failure
One of the most honest u tubers who came from humble beginnings ,,very talented great channel
After watching M39 Restorations, I'm spoiled by how detail and meticulous clean on every operation Sreten performs on his BMWs.
Man, you are a real champ. You somehow managed to make some of the most entertaining and enjoyable videos on CZcams. Thank you for all your efforts.
Nice digs: “Legit Street Cars where we finish ALL our projects!” 😂😂
This is amazing work Alex, Peter and Max. This is genuinely the best YT channel out there.
Your honesty and integrity are to be greatly admired! Thank you for all that you do for us. My favorite CZcams channel!
I loved how you showed us the engine potential of this BMW (burnouts and donuts). Looks so cool when barge like this smokes it's tires
The glass part reminded me of a time years back had a windshield replaced by a shop. I got it back and found glass pieces on the dash. They said sorry and wiped it down. Later I turned on the fan for air and glass bits came shooting out of the vents. I was very unhappy. All the shop did was blame the glass guy and did nothing about it
This repair/build was impressive Alex. Good job by you and the team on this one. The car could have been easily “left for dead”, but you guys returned it to its glory.
What kind of BMW should I get next? I'm fresh out of BMW Cars!
M3
Ask Sreten!
M6
Z4
A cheap M that you can fix
Definitely deserve one million, your channel is amazing! Thank you for the content!!
My latest video! Supercharged C4 is back! czcams.com/video/h5acb9O2f20/video.html
This car has been one of my favorite restorations so far.
I’ve been watching you for years when your videos had less quality and shorter and to see you grow so much is amazing. You’ve become my favorite channel. I would love
To see you build a 1st gen 4Runner with a 22re
One of the rare channels worthy following. Well done guys 👏
You guys see my new Trans Am? czcams.com/video/e_vvD4lU1E8/video.html
ABSOLUTELY INSANELY IMPRESSIVE! Hate BMW's but J.R. that a gorgeous car!!! 😁😎😍🤗
i probably wont ever be able to afford half the cars you fix and mod, but i enjoy watching you and how well you’re able to breakdown and articulate a vehicle into something even a regular (me) person can understand, thanks Alex for a wonderful saturday morning
You probably could one day. Don’t sell yourself short man.
@@billyowusu48 and to everyone that liked his/her post, keep your head up you all got this! Everyone's starts as a regular person. :D
“So if you actually like a CZcams channel that finishes what it starts..”

This is such an amazing channel Alex! You and Peter always seem to put a smile on my face, with your banter and positivity. I’m so impressed with your intricate knowledge of all of these high end vehicles. Thankyou for the satisfying finishes to all of these projects, and incredibly consistent content. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺
I've delivered gas to gas stations for years and with the ethenol fuel if it has a descent amount of water that mixes with the ethanol it'll literally pull the ethenol into the water and drop the Octane level compared to diesel and straight gas that just seperate
Chasing a bad coil in a BMW V8, you'll end up replacing all 8. Coils are about $20 each when you aren't paying the "need it now tax" at the auto parts store. The N63 / S63 engines have rod bearing issues too.
Just thankful for you guys. Always informative, and I'm sure I'm learning something by listening and watching you all!
Just well done Alex, your enthusiasm and honesty is why I subscribe. Congrats with all the success ! Thanks for making the world go away, and providing me so much entertainment. Cheers !
Love your channel man I hope you get to 1 million subs soon. I’m a heavy diesel tech and my wife is like, why do you watch a mechanic channel? I told her your super entertaining and I don’t know much about these fancy euro cars she even watched most of an episode with me and enjoyed it!
Been a subscriber for a long long time, gotta say LSC is THE best, very educational, fun, and actually finishes projects. I personally have learned a lot about the M113K and ABC cars… I just got a 2007 SL55.
It turned out so nice! I only wish you would have buffed the headlights
It's an enthusiast low mile per year, weekend / cars and coffee type of car. I bought one that was also a bank repo in 2014. I sold it in 2019. In 5 years as a DIY BMW enthusiast (with a lift / garage / tools / time / and money) without exaggeration put $20k into it and hundreds and hundreds of hours. It's a masochistic type of thing similar to older super cars (Ferrari's / Lambos) the smiles make it worth it but it's pain / suffering the entire time. I would not recommend one of these cars to anyone but an enthusiast like I've said.
I don't see why it couldn't be a daily driver. It might actually be less unreliable if used regularly. I guess as long as you are not going to lose your job for arriving late because it has broken down again...
A CZcams channel that "finishes what it starts". I love it!
Man you are getting close to a mill now! I remember when you were just getting close to 200k
I love etymology almost as much as I love automotive content. Thanks, Alex, Peter and Max!
This and Peter's... let's call it "passion" for it is the biggest cherry on top for me. Peter and etymology what an addition.
I always watch whatever Alex&team r working @ and I enjoy the enthusiasm and craftsmanship, also learning a lot about repairing vehicles just by following the uploads on this channel.Thumbs up from 🇸🇪 👍🙂
Dude, youre one of kind! Amazing series to watch and learn, I appreciate the content!
😌👉🏼 anit nothing better than watching LSC on a Saturday morning 🌄 🙌 now thats legit 👌
Good LegitStreetCars Saturday Morning Fam! 🙌
Hey Marko!!
@@LegitStreetCars Car came a long way and now looks amazing Alex!!! European land yacht.
Another wonderful video. Some of the best entertainment on CZcams that you can find. Loved the honesty about the expectations of the car at the end of the video. Thank you.
Larry Kosilla just passed out watching you "detail" the piano black interior 😂
For some reason I am addicted to your content. I'm a BMW technician and I love to watch your videos on my lunch break. Please keep doing you man
You know what, your channel, for a very long time has become my favourite, along with mr Jared pink over at WED. No gimmicks, no obvious horseplay. Just good honest mechanics, light humour and very capable mechanics and editors.
Alex, as someone who’s been there own boss. I have the upmost respect for you. The team youve developed, talent you’ve acquired and dedication to your craft is amazing. Keep up the great work! If your ever in the UK, I think you’d have a blast with the pricing of the mercs you know so well!
P.s I’m an automotive glazier at master tech level so I can actually say those guys fitted your heated rear properly 😂😂
Thanks so much Craig. This means a lot.
This video reminds me of a car I have here. 2015 Skoda Superb Wagon (Like a VW Passat 1.8t). 1 Owner car and what i believe happened is the owner had the low oil light come on, either her or her husband filled it oil, all the oil! Then I met the owner by chance and she mentioned her car had broken down and was shopping for a brand new one, so i helped her get the car she wanted at the right price. I had no interest in a non running Skoda but she suggested I could have it very cheap, $1000 with 170k kms. Ok then. It was in a mechanics carpark, I rang the mechanics they said the engine had jumped timing and needed a second hand replacement at $7500. I had the car towed back to my place.
Long story short we removed the fouled spark plugs, drained the oil back to factory max level and fitted new plugs. Drives like new. Very strange! I will say for everyone of these there are 10 that are worse than they seemed in the first place or someone had been covering up serious and expensive issues. Well done Alex that Alpina is so freaking awesome.!!
At 12:58 in the video he explains that the seal MUST NOT be on the last thread. Best advice ever. Made that mistake once.
As a BMW technician for over 20 years I always advise you to do all Coil packs and spark plugs. Service the Turbo. If you do the fuel system prime 4xs 15 to 17 secs per each times. Then clear codes then run for 5 to 10 minutes. Road test.
This car is baller, I'd look so fresh pulling up to my local Pottery Barn in this Alpina!
Hahaha
If it managed to get there
Absolutely love your videos. I’ve been with you since the early days. You’re just consistently great & watchable.
Thanks man! Appreciate that!
Blue Streak coils are good. I use them on all of my vehicles
At the writing of this comment the auction has been up for an hour and the bid is $9750, going well with 12 days remaining.
A really nice transformation, a car that would be so much fun to drive and have the comfort to go with it.
its great to see cars finished. you've become one of my top channels to watch. my son has also started watching all your videos. Also learning a lot about US cars. the paintwork resto was my favourite video so far.
I'm an AMG guy, but WoW just WoW. I find myself coveting Alpina's more and more especially the fast wagons here in Europeland. Great job Alex.
You have my respect sir Alex. You have spread values through working with machines. I learn from your behavior more than the mechanical stuff you teach. From Iran.
Alex you and Peter are doing an awesome job. I'm a big fan of You CZcams channel great entertainment. Legit street cars is my favorite CZcams channel. Keep up the good work shout out from Anoka Minnesota
Seeing that glass going in gave me all the good feels. Perfekt!
Thanks for finishing it up!! yes not getting projects out the door is the bane of CZcamsrs. great job. Lived in Japan so looking forward to some of the Nipon action.
That was an excellent resurrection! Thanks for the work that you do and bringing us along with the vids. Cheers
Wish it was in the budget.. That is anicely done car. Thanks for sharing the process.
Blue Streak is Standard's top of the line.
Alex when you wash and clean the cars, don't worry that we've seen you do it before and cut it out, we love watching it!
I really enjoy your channel, you really get projects done. Much respect
Alex, if you haven't come across him yet, check out Stretton at M539 Restorations. You'll discover that the Alpinas are inherently flawed and unfortunately you will be chasing unicorns trying to fix it. There is nothing he doesn't know about BMW's and he replaced and repaired two Alpina engines from scratch and they both broke in his Car. The only solution is to find a BMW engine (forget which one) and build it to Alpina specs.
Really love your channel and videos. Also Peter is such a great addition to your content. Love your camaraderie and evolved friendship. Great find with that guy; what a chill and knowledgeable dude.
Great series, Alex!
if you don't already have one, you should invest in a portable steamer to clean the stuff up with, they work so well on almost anything you will ever need to clean or disinfect
To bad Sreten wasn't helping you with the Alpina 😊
This car is amazing. Truly love the channel Alex, this was a massive turnaround
Your dedication brought this bimmer from the dead.. good job Alex keep it up
Great video and excellent work!
You actually NEED to change all coils. 4.4 v8 bmw from 2009 to 2011 got problems with misfiring. And the only way to fix this issue is to change all spark plugs, all coils, and all fuel injectors. Also it’s recommended to change all plastic ventilation, and vacuum hoses.
This was my favorite car on the channel. This Alpina B7 in blue is an amazing looking car! Great job Alex! (and Peter).
Recently found LSC and is already my favorite automotive channel every video is high quality and always ends with a conclusion keep it up - a new Fan
"I know these are not the most reliable cars in the world" You certainty have a knack for understatement!
I absolutely LOVE this channel! You guys are so thorough and passionate about this work. I have learned sooooo many things about my BMWs, to include a 2014 Alpina. Fortunately, my guy at BMW service is like you guys. He keeps them all in pristine shape! When I come back for a new life, I want to have this much passion and skill with cars! 😅
Just started watching ur channel, absolutely love it. I live in Michigan so I know bout the rust on some cars. I really love ur eclipse, it's been a dream since I went school back in the 90s to own one. I hope the build comes out awesome. White is my fav on cars like that. Please keep great videos coming.
I believe the cubby hole in the trunk was to hold a roadside safety box that had triangles and some other miscellaneous things for repairs.
This car has come so far in the past 6 months glad to see it come out looking so good 💙
This is how an @samcracc car gets finished! Awesome work Alex!
Amazing job Gentleman. A brilliant reincarnation of a proper Saloon. Truly impressive what you can do to vehicles in such state of disrepair.
My local repair shop diagnosed and changed 2 coils for 120 euros, so it wasn't too bad.
Would've cost me more if I bought the code reader + coils myself.
700$ for one coil change at a dealer sounds weird..
Great video Alex. Keep up the great content.
Don't deny that the "We actually finish cars" bit wasn't a stab at Samcrac haha. Seriously, I love your videos Alex. You are motivating me to get my SAAB channel up off the ground.
Fantastic work ! Really appreciate your videos
Damn Alex. Came in spicy. Which of your buddy's channel are you calling out that doesn't finish their cars? 😂
If I were Sam, I'd have another automobile heading your way for another Legit makeover.
Love your content and honest restoration and repair work, it is very interesting to see how you handle the problems that popup together with your team.
And bringing back that BMW Alpina from near disaster/death and doing this classic right was one of my favorites.
Gonna be real interesting to see how your work on the Mercedes AMG C63 next. Ganbare LSC!!! (Japanese, ask Peter-san :) )
Watching ppl who are skilled at thier trade is impressive!!
Love the truthfulness about the car.
19:32 tripped me out i was like who the fuck is that 💀 🤣
Always very enjoyable seeing you bring back a car and make it Awesome 👍
Congrats on the real talk at the end...this is why I subbed and never miss a vid.
Spectacular video. It’s fun watching you and peter joking and having fun
Yes!! I’ve been waiting all morning for this video release 🤩
Can’t wait to see what it goes for!! Loved the Alpina content
Saturday mornings are always good ! Thanks Alex !
