Why did I just spend 38 minutes of my life watching someone clean the interior of a car??? Because I always learn something from M539.
Why dont u watch it on x2 playback speed?
@@Vjekoslav-vf3hr i learned the proper way to adjust my ebrake on my e39 from this man
@@Vjekoslav-vf3hr if u x2 speed your life, u ưill only have a half time to live.
@@acao8107 playback x2 saves your time to have more free time for life
Because he does the best you tube channel full stop.
Fun fact: the fuel tank smells like... fuel!
always love when you can learn something from CZcams
This guy is really underrated he deserves to be one of the top rebuilding channels, much respect
He deserves to be the top restoration channel actually. No one comes even close to his work.
“Okay, now that you’re disgusted we can proceed”. I love this channel.
Also, I agree with you. Always stay OEM. Keep factory look, keep factory wood, factory rims. Nothing beats original.
Yeah totally agree, for this car the original is always the best
Nah, nice aftermarket exhaust like Eisenmann, some BBS or OZ wheels and sports suspension can make this cars look even nicer. But more than that, I would not change
I agree to stay OEM, but in the specific car I would change the wood trim to OEM brush aluminium trim. Personally I like the wood trim to cars like E38. Anyway it has to do with the personal taste of each person.
@@mixoulas ahh that’s a good point. Swapping OEM wood for OEM aluminum. That would look good on this car
I havent found a channel that does anything, that is as good as this one
this channel is pretty insane when it comes to details czcams.com/users/RestoreItvideos
@@overpay7473 Yup, another good one.
Project binky. Different content but the quality of work is insane. Would recommend watching if you like this content.
@@overpay7473 thx
if this dude would start selling his cars, I would bargain for paying a higher price than he wants most likely.
If you have cleanliness OCD, don’t pay for therapy, just watch Sreten! 😂
My OCD approves this comment!
for some serious OCD you can watch OG, 1 hour video on cleaning one seat
James May will approve of this too
"Carbon fiber towel" has me rolling every time
it is carbon based material...so he is practically correct
I thought I heard that too but I think he’s saying cotton fiber towel. We’re used hearing carbon & fiber together so that’s what we think we hear. He’s familiar with carbon fiber, he talks about how he dislikes his trim pieces not being that material and his looks nothing like carbon fiber
Micro fibre
I`m sure secretly every BMW on the planet dreams about landing in Sreten`s hands. The amount of love and attention to details is insane!
I can never understand how people can live with such a dirty car, glad to see it's all nice and clean now!
The people who thrash their cars are also the ones who say they “bought them to get from point a to b”.
as a detailer, some cars make you wonder what their owners homes look like..
Can't stand having a filthy car interior, I feel bad when it's a bit messy with some dirt on the mats and a few things in the pockets and then I got into someone's else's car and it was 250x worse with sand everywhere and sitting on wrappers and sticky things yuck and it was just normal to them
To most people cars are just an applaince that they dump every 5 years add in laziness and mwa la
One word. Kids.
*
M539 Restorations comes into BMW dealer*
The part sales man:
"Ah shit, here we go again..."
I would expect that he loves it! He must do well from selling those 700 Euro undertrays that no one else buys.
Dude, they most love him. Do you know how expensive some trim pieces are for BMW's? It's amazing that they are available at all and BMW is one of the best at this, but it's ridicolous money.
*dealer gives an incorrect part
"You picked the wrong part fool!"
@@toby9055 for that money i would made them out of carbon myself.
@@borutgoli840 not original
If I may offer a tip: I use a similar extractor (and it really does work great for the price) but never put cleaning solution into the tank. I use a separate sprayer for solution, then use the brush to agitate, then only hot water in the extractor to use as a rinse. I rinse and extract as I go until the water going back into the extractor is clear and free of suds. I'm not saying that's the only right way to do it, but I've been really pleased with the results of that method, and never wind up with sticky carpets. I'm really enjoying this channel! Tsus!
When are we going to hear the boom beats and see the tow truck again?
I have a mytee lite 3 and I always use plain hot water to suck it out. I use a brush on a DA and a "professional" steamer, as well as a Rupes Nano ibrid sometimes. You can take it to the extreme!
I agree for me it takes a while to tidy up an interior. And exterior takes me time too.
I guess I suck and would be fired.
But it can be a lot of fun.
Great videos, didn't watch this one yet but we should all buy a sweatshirt and support our star!
I had lost your channel and forgot the name. Glad you commented here so I could find it :D
I subscride this main comment!
PS: What is the brand and model of this extractor?
It's disturbing how much I agree with your philosophies - to hell with piano black, generic wheel finishes, carbon fibre, vinyl wrap and all that other aftermarket garbage! An M5 should go like a scalded cat but still be upmarket!
And Piano Black is a fingerprint superconducting magnet too!
Yes I too can relate. Until it comes to forced induction. Then the answer is always YES PLEASE!
“Back from the Stealer...” bravo 🤣💪🏼
That's what he said 😎
@@monstermirror2 just crying out loud about Stealer) Dealer = Stealer.
I breathed a sigh of relief when he did finally find the Bosch light again. That poor thing has survived so many projects, been dropped into too many car fluid pools... it'd be a tragedy to lose such an invaluable tool!
Haha, yes. Tough little light, needs a nickname 😅
Took me 45 minutes to find it and it was right in front of me. 🤣
@@M539Restorations If I had a pound for every time I've done that with my inspection light then I'd probably be able to afford an E60 M5...
Didn't expect a Bad Obsession Motorsport reference when I started watching. Well done.
When a car guy says "it hurt" after purchasing something, boy does it go deep.
He is really making us part of this project by saying ‘we’ all the time..
Like Phil Flory👍
That makes me happy for some reason
I consistently fail to decide what to enjoy more : the car, the work or the music...
You forgot the on-point commentary :)
Enjoy ALL of'em!
I just enjoy it all together as a package of awesome 🙂
Constantly checking how far i am into the video, and i get more sad as it get's towards the end. The quality of the work you do inspires me in a lot of ways. I realy feel lucky i came across this channel.
An unrivalled level of detail and master mechanical expertise. My OCD fix is complete, until next time my friend
"Now that you are disgusted, we can proceed"
New channel motto/merch opportunity? I think so.
Only Florida-man transports his alligator in his BMW without a cage...
I've said it before and I'll say it again - this is the best channel on YT. Have been a viewer since the start and its just getting better and better. 👍
You are literally LegitStreetCars of Europe. You have great content. Keep it up.
Yes! I discovered your channel just a few days ago and I binge watched the e38, the e46, and the e60 series. I AM HOOKED
Oh, it gets much much worse.
Sreten is like a brand new drug.
Those before-after pictures are always so satisfying for me. Cant wait to see this car on the road :-)
I have watched every second of Project Raleigh - some of them twice. I love how patient and careful you do the demos. Makes me confident with some of these repairs!
This channel never fails to satisfy my OCD! I love this channel as it doesnt go overboard and sticks to OEM
This is such a happy felling when sreten uploads, i was just rewatching old videos and this Poped up, and here we are, happy :)
The TÜV-Inspector is just going to say:" Wow, der sieht ja aus wie neu."
About the tires, has your shop ever heard about the red and yellow dots on the tires?
Clearly they don't 😬
The dots don’t make that much of a difference
Red dot should line up with the valve
@@waynemiller4602 I thought the yellow one 🤣
@@coses4957 yellow spot is lightest part of the tyre,so should line up with the valve if you don't have the red spot on the tyre...where the valve is its the heaviest part of the wheel...if you have both spots ignore the yellow one
I'm a carpet cleaner. 22:36 Tip: you have to soak a little bit more the carpet. So the water and cleaning product can penetrate the carpet fibers so the vacuum can suck all that dirt better . Its like cleaning clothes, u cant clean well a shirt with just a bit of water
M539 is also now my favorite channel for detailing content. That was so satisfying to see!
When I'm interviewing for a new employee, I check out how they keep there car. It doesn't matter how old, just clean, like windows, no garbage on their dash. A good insight to prospective new employee.
Actually interesting point… what kind of company you work for?
“a german version of Nik Blackhurst” had me laughing so much. Time to get the funk out!
Yes, wasn't expecting that :-)
Nicklaus Bratwurst?
@@carrot595 Niko Schwarzhorst?
Make the noise!
I'll be damned. Do we all watch the same shows? 😂
A perfect mechanic and a good entertainer.....well done from down under! You make everything looks so good and you really enjoy what you are doing...
This guy is a sanctuary for bmw where they get original parts
28:25 - Shoes off, a true detailer..
25:45 Something or someone definitely exploded in that car 😂
Love interior cleans, those old seats came out amazing 😎👍
That reminds me of a scene from _The Inbetweeners_ when the three guys got in Neil's yellow Panda and felt something gooey and sticky all over. Neil told them that he wanked and sprayed all over the interior.
@@InTeCredo same 😂🤣 love that movie
It looks like some kind of mold to me. Like the car was left with the windows down and moisture just had its way.
Is that not mould? It sure looks like it to me.
InTeCredo same lol
All ot my life I've thought that I'm the only person on this planet who hates freaking carbon fiber and vynil wraps!! You just made my day! Awesome content!!
I could literally watch you work in these BMW’s all day. Just love to see them get a new lease of life in your hands! Keep up the good work dude! Greetings from the UK 😊
Oh God thank you for turning down the wood haters! Personally I love wood trim on BMWs and wouldn't even think about replacing it with anything else, just like you said.
I cleaned cars as a job for at least 11 years, 7 of those in full-time in Switzerland. Geat job man!
The mess is from a can of soda that exploded inside due to heat from sitting in the sun. I've had to detail a car that had that happen.
Makes sense!
@@M539Restorations Change for a nickel makes cents too....gotta luv your Work ethic!
or could be from fire extinguisher, some thieves spay some inside the cockpit to cover their fingerprints
@@Kurisutof4 never heard of that before… scum bags will steal you stuff than ruin your interior smh
My daily routine for the last couple of weeks is...I'm coming back home after work shower dinner and watching yours videos for an about hour....why? because I Love BMW I own one and I really like to looking after it myself. You are doing fantastic job keep it up.
14:00 Are you sure that the hub caps are lined up with the m-logo’s on the wheels?
Think you should change that shifter knob as well to get that "new car" feel.
I might go for the ZHP illuminated one like on my E39, but for now I want to see how the stock one feels.
@@M539Restorations good decision
@@M539Restorations consider getting a new leatherboot to the shifter with M stiching to match the steering wheel
As a BMW addict, this channel is my drug of choice.
Watching from Northern Ireland loving the channel . Keep up the great work
Brushed aluminium interior dash trim Looked incredible on E60 and is OEM.
I just love the 80's synthwave music you add. Makes it so good to watch. Also my OCD is so freaking pleased and stimulated by your videos it's amazing.
I totally agree!
I just finished calling it 80s bad europorn music.
One of the best channels on YT, you should have way more subscribers...
How could anyone hate on wood trim?? Always the best interior option
This guy is a legend.
Imagine buying a car from him..
Keep rocking it
13:40 maybe i'm wrong but new tires has red and yellow dots on sidewall, red dot indicates heaviest part of the tire and should go to the opposite side (must line up) of the valve stem on alloy wheel. Yellow dot MUST be next to the valve (heaviest part of rim). That way you need less weight for balancing ;)
"Back from the stealer with a bag of clips!" true true xD
Love the attention to detail replacing all these parts. Well done.
Love the shoutout to that mad bracket scientist that is Nic Blackhurst and the worlds most anticipated project car.
The paint job on that Mini will make the future one on the M5 look like a walk in the park...
What a difference. I love the interior.
I just bought a 2005 e46 ZHP 6MT and on the flight up to Fort Worth to pick it up I specifically wore my M539 t-shirt after watching this video the night before. It just felt right
Your attention to detail borders obsessive…and viewing your fine work has become my obsession. All I can say is ‘Wow’
"I'd much rather paint this car two toned, pink and green"
...he is secretly Timmy Turner
Happy to see the M5 again! All those white spots on the headliner and everywhere else are all mould, not milkshake 🤣
Or semenal fluids! Someone had a blast in back seat :)
Your car,your taste, your rules. Don’t worry what comments you get, I think your channel is amazing and always look forward to watching new videos
the most underrated channel on youtube
Great choice of tires! For me these Falkens have the best price/handling/noise ratio for 2021. I am ordering the same for my Alfa.
And thank you for the great videos and the useful info you share!
I don't know man, I would be careful with cheapo tires in rain and high heat
I needed this today. I'm at home feeling just awful after my 2nd vaccine. This was like Zen meditation, and it took my mind off of it. Thank you so much!
I take an injection medication every 2 weeks and afterwards the videos from Streten are a godsend.
@@Biker_Gremling is streten a polish name?
Every time when i hear something about Poland in foreign cars videos Im going into the highest state of concentration😁 Also my heart grows with national pride!
Your commitment to quality and originality is perhaps higher than that of the people at BMW.
Greetings from🇵🇱
7:50 - 8:00 this reference made my day :D
YES! BOM reference noted.
“Carbon Fibre” always makes me chuckle!
Amazing work! To make it easier for you, the best cleaning solution I found for Alcantara (they say only use water) was laundry liquid for hand washing wool garments, brought my Alcantara Integra Type R seats back to showroom condition!
I just cant stop watching M539 Restorations. The weird part is, while I always loved the appearance of BMWs (that stopped with this generation, I adored project Dubai!) I always really disliked the entire interior so I would not want to own one. I guess its just fascinating to see somebody prevent all the previous hard work and energy from being crushed and dumped, and oppositely CREATING pure value by what he does.
For that alone sir, you are a legend to me and Im happy for the BMW lovers who get the double bonus of you saving cars they love :). I wish there was a "you" for Audis ;).
Brilliant video as always, huge respect for been stickler about keeping these cars as close to factory finish as possible.
Your excitement and joy when new parts arrive shows how much you really love your BMW's! Its awesome to watch you transform the car from a hunk of junk to almost brand new looking! PS: I'm pretty sure your cleaning clothes are micro fiber not carbon fiber as you refer to them lol :)
This is the best detailing chanel on youtube. Great job 👍
I like the fact you stick to what you like ! not what the audience thinks
Yet again a great video my man. By far the most in depth, learnable, enjoyable and awesomely edited car mechanic channel there is on CZcams! 😃
I love this channel! Great music choices that bring me back to the eighties.
Your definition of restoration is the gold standard we should all aim for.
Not only is Sreten a mechanical BMW wizard , but details like a pro LoL I'm convinced there's nothing he can't do
The wooden trims are just classy! Not everybody has it!
“ Mission success, I should be in a Tom Cruise movie “…. Comedic genius!!!!
"At this point, make sure the float is floatting"
I just wheezed so hard!
Uh the vacuuming montage? Chef's kiss!
4:06 "Back from the stealer with a bag of crisps" 😂
Like Star-Lord said: "If I had a Black Light, this place would look like a Jackson Pollock Painting."
The best part of your videos is that you are also educating people on how things should be done.
Great job, Mike!
I"m glad that you still use the carbon-fiber towels. Nice!
Sreten, may I suggest LCI door panels, they refresh the look of the interior.
I would suggest: CIC navigation system from late LCI, and LCI climate module with that nice new trim and volume button :D
I think a tip for removing e60 door panels is appropriate:
Just stuff your Philips head plus sign type screwdriver into the trim button cap and remove the screw like that. Instead of trying to pry off that tiny little screw beauty cap/cover. Easier to do that than possibly Dent the panel. It's a couple dollars or euros for the screw cover. When you're done futzing with the door you can replace the cap. Or leave it off! =) or have just the right thin tool with a tiny lip. It's doable. But it could possibly Dent the panel no matter how good you are. Like e31 headliner panels won't come off without breaking clips unless you somehow get lucky from what I have seen.
@@spencermaiers8322 Never had a problem removing the screw caps cleanly on my E61 with the standard cheap plastic trim tools.
" they must have a Nik Blackhurts at BMW" Good one😂😂😂
'Back from the stealer with a bag of clips' dude u always deliver somthing funny, I love that
This is by far my favarite channel right now
Dude, your a brilliant mechanic, I’ve watched your work closely and I’m very impressed, and I was brought up to believe German folks have no sense of humour as they were a very serious people, but I can see it’s not true...😃
He speaks French to his fuel pump when it doesn't release :D
That wood trim is beautiful! I am happy that you keep it.
It's Raleigh, named after Sir Walter Raleigh.
Cheers from Raleigh, NC.
I have an e60 too, and I really liked how the interior was, I would like to do the same to mine, greetings from the USA
Do you plan to replace the A/C dials? They still show °F instead of °C, if I saw it correctly?
After a full working day, is so relaxing. Very satisfying. Thanks sir! great job as always. I love the photoset at the end, we can see the quality of the materials used in this beautiful car.
Hey Sreten i really love your chanel, i am by myself from near ffm and a total bmw petrolhead, so you are like the more professional version of me and a really big inspiration to me in person.
ATM i got an E46 330i Coupe in wonderful titanian silver (as a track ready missle whit TÜV) and a E39 520i (as my daily driver).
All of the maintance on the cars i do to 99% of my own. From perolpump to KGE over tons of other stuff, just something like clutch i did in the shop because of my pure lack of not having a lifting plattform (and whitout its just a real pain in the a**).
I just want to tell you a big thank you and continue the great passioned work. This is the only channel were i watch every video and every second of it whit greatest interest. This is like learning and entertaining at the same time. Love the way you work on stuff and kinda reminds me sometimes at my personal experiences (nearly mental breakdowns, when some sort of bolt just wont come lose and so on xD).
Someday i hope we will randomly met on the A3 and then i will wave you like a little kid waveing santa :D
Best greetings Leon
Forgot to clean the seatbelts? Great vid as always! needs new gear selector and mats methinks
