- In this episode, we are finishing some final tasks on project Chicago, supercharged Alpina B7. We refurbish the complete brakes, replace rear subframe bushings, rear ball joints and integral links, and polish the high gloss window trim. After that, Alpina goes on a lie detector (dyno).

Splendid results with Alpina, undoubtedly the world's finest B7 in existence today
...And ever existed
Might be worth putting it in a museum
Youd be surprised how many undocumented B7s are out there.
Better than when new, no doubt.
@@y2ksierra brand new, it had bad paint job. So the words can't be more true.
The scream at the G80 M4 got me rolling :D
Whoever buys this car will appreciate the time and effort that went into the final finish. Now, I just need a poster of this masterpiece.
But when was the last time we saw Sreten sell a car? I swear he's opened a series of Air BnB 's across Frankfurt where you get to sleep in the boot of a Bimmer for a night. 😂
A poster would do this car justice!!
Eine gute Idee! Mach doch bitte ein paar Wallpapers zum herunterladen. Danke!
When you zoomed in on that unknown BMW in your parking lot you made my entire day.
Lol, mine as well 😂
Best looking Bimmer to date.
Question: Why this man doesn't have at least 500K subs by now?
Considering this is trully one man operation and Sreten's videos are on another level when it comes to content, editing and no unrelated promotion of hair growth products or whatever, he simply deserves to reach that number and beyond.
Not everyone can watch a guy disassemble, repair and assemble a car that 99.9% of subscribers will not own. That's not his fault, just that's the type of content that not everyone like watching. No bangs, no whistles, no explosions, you know😂😂
haha shots fired at Alex.
Not enough drama involved I suspect, nor click bait thumbnails. As much as I want this channel to grow to new and fantastic heights, I hope it’s never at the expense of Sreten having to sell out and join the click bait culture.
In my opinion, the young generation are more interesting about extreme tuning, looks and a tons of horse power. Only the people like me and you, ho enjoy extremly about the old cars to came to a second life with specs and look like from factory are the target for this chanel.
Because this channel does not have the crazy hyper camera shots and transitions and cliffhangers etc. This is pure automotive restauration documentary. It takes a real enthousiast to recognize the pureness of this channel, and we love it.
29:21 the way the pad landed perfectly in that box
best than any netflix show hands down
I honestly feel like this car should be a museum show piece, absolutely stunning inside and out. I'm so glad to have watched this project through since the start, hard to believe this is even the same car from Chicago. Always excited for more projects, keep up the work.
chicago*
Maybe that's what will happen, perhaps it'll end up with Harry Metcalfe, or Jay Leno, or even Alpina themselves possibly.
@@MBS.. not sure how i messed that one up
The scream when you see the G82. Exactly what goes through my mind.
Came to comments to say THE FUCKING SCREAM 🤣🤣
A face only a mother could love 😅
Came looking for this comment, I lol'ed HARD. Right after his excitement for the musical note:
Same as me
NGL it looked boss af
I was just about to order some non OE/OEM parts, when I got the email that an M539 video had gone up… and I remembered to stay classy - stay OEM.
Hehe, true :D
With parts, you ALWAYS get what you pay for! Stay classy my guy!
Without youtube revenue, for me sometimes Febi is the best compromise for my E39. It has not let me down much yet so far 😄.
The results are better than factory. What a beautiful result. I think the video adds value to the car....nothing is missed.
I’m almost happy things didn’t go as planned because I don’t want this project to end it’s my absolute fav.
I have to be really honest, as i like watching every minute of your videos with all of my heart, the 21:00 is one of my favourite part so far.
The look of that car is kind of growing on me...
This project challenged you most likely harder than any before, but it also really took your experience to the highest level. In all your CZcams presence, you've always been highly skilled, but after all this time, the only right thing to say is this: you truly are an expert and a professional. It doesn't matter that this isn't what you've learned in school or university. You are the living proof that learning by doing can equally get you this far if you are determined and put all your energy in it.
You may not be a BMW certified service partner and you may not always have the official BMW tools for everything, but it's the outcome that counts, and it is as good as it can get.
I really hope the guys from ALPINA will get to see this masterpiece as well, you deserve all the attention. Thank you for all of this, you are a big inspiration for so many out there, and I am sure your input has helped many people out there to solve their own problems and maybe for some also to work on their own cars.
Amen Brother!!!
That Home Alone scream when filming the new BMW made my day. Thank you
Probably the nicest B7 on the planet
Really happy to see this underrated generation of 7 series being appreciated this much
21:01 best moment ever:)
After project get completed, I would put the car in a museum.
Honestly this thing needs to go to an alpina museum
I think that nobody would have ever thought that such a perfect alpina b7 would still exists up to this date, keep up the good work👍👍
Is the before & after results that are mind-blowing specially if all operations would be made inside Alpina service for example..
I'm curious how they will welcome Sreten when they will meet..
"We don't need instructions - we're men!" ❤
That body kit is perfection
Yay! 6:56 Vixen Aquablast Therapy!
9:25 2-3 Layers! 😅
10:42 We are Men!
12:22 before and after shot therapy!
19:56 Ladies and Señoras! 🤣
30:19 Ahh...the eccentric millionaire! 🤣
Excellent Episode!
I am disproportionately excited about the visit to Alpina and I can't even explain why.
Same here, those guys wouldn't know what hit them, they'll never see a B7 in that shape ever in their life again.
If all cars were treated by people like you, we would have art driving on our roads.
Best example for alpina museum
Matthias is excellent - he organized getting my AC Cobra from Spain to the US. Top job and highly recommended
That scream at the new BMW 😂
I've got no words other than WOW! , also want to be sure the algorithm knows of your existence! Amazing work.
In order to watch this video. I have have clean my monitor with screen cleaner and micro fiber towel so that my monitor can have a mirror finish. I also use the same towel to clean my glass so that I can have a prefect visual. I am considering to purchase a better monitor to watch video on this channel. Finally, this is and will be the best restoration of B7 ever.
US 93 equals 98 octane that we use in europe. Idk what bullshit that dyno guy was talking about. US 91 is EU 95….. the different mapping is probably related to emissions and not the fuel. My mustang is eu spec, looses 14 horse powers due to eu emissions. And that is on EU 98
The end result is just stunning, incredibly gorgeous. I'm so glad I could share this journey with you, from the other side of the monitor. It's been one hell of a ride, that is for sure!
There will be a whole M539 collectors group 50yrs from now. As in, all “his” cars will be worth a lot. Rightfully so.
Ein äußerst akkurater und sehr sauberes Bauen. Größter Respekt. Enjoy your beer!!!
Nothing makes me happier than an episode from this channel in a holiday night! Pure pleasure.
This project was extremely challenging and you've definitely ran into difficult moments and decisions regarding it's future. Nonetheless, the most remarkable part of the story is that you've never give up on the car and managed to transform all the problems stemming from that project into new learning points. Excellent - keep it up bro!
What a journey this project has been. Seeing him persevere through all the problems and end up with this result is so satisfying.
This channel is kinda like Netflix for men😅🙌🏼 love it🔥🔥🔥
I love your videos! As a detailer, I'm so grateful you accounted for the time in perfecting the trim pieces. It is so difficult for customers to comprehend what it takes to pursue perfection. The difference between 90% and 100% is enormous. Kudos to you!
I’m just slow clapping, your vigor and endurance on this project has been nothing short of heroic. Automotive perfection
Alpina should buy this car from you and put it in a (their) museum, it's that well done!
I'm so proud and happy for this process! As it was my own achievement. Best youtube channel by far!
This one should be put in a museum! Amazing, simply amazing!
Sretens museum...or a galery 💪
Thank you for the torque figures now added on the screen! I really appreciate it! I am only concerned that you will burn out now doing even more editing work! Please stay sane, Streten, we need you!
That rear decklid looks so much better than OEM.
I love that he just casually went like 150MPH+ lol - what a beast of a machine
My excitement when i saw that you uploaded a new video is not measurable. The quality is superb. Please never stop making these.
I think a CZcamsr is the only one that could have saved this thing. It would have bankrupted any normal person. 😂
Excellent work keep it up 👍
simply Beautyful, thx for let us become a part of this amazing project
Watching all this for the second time
''On a lie detector'' I'm rolling on the floor laughing 🤣🤣
This has been the most insane saga. Well done!
That vapor blaster seriously is the best equipment you have.
Best Alpina B7 ever!
So good looking👌 Great episode as always!
The scream at the intruder 😂😂😂
Man Project Chicago becomes Project the Young and the Restless with 1584 episodes ))) good job
I don't normally like the E66, like the majority of people, but this, in this configuration is jaw droppingly hot to look at. Amazing work you did! Love it!
The E65 sold better than the E38.
Sreten's réaction about beaver face m4. Priceless!
Wow Sreten, this car is a jewel, it'll be hard to let go.
Who ever is gonna buy this one, is gonna be a lucky bastard.
Buying cars from you is a better experience than from a brand dealership, the car is now on another level compared to its original delivery standard. 👌
The new torque animation is so🔥🔥🔥
Hold on work, I’ll be back in 1 hour.
But for real.
I CAN'T believe You do not water blast knuckle!?!? ;) You work is an ART!!
Bro all I can say is thank you. This was one amazing project.
The lengthy restoration makes the car look better than new, So great to see another modern classic being revived and has to be the finest example today well done 👍
I liked the assorted skin on your phone with the dashboard wooden trim 🎉❤
Overall a tremendously job done! Congratulations
you cant get this good of entertainment from paying to go see a movie at a movie theater, and here we are getting all of this wonderful content for free from the comfort of our own dojo's.
a quick tip from one (allegedly) professional automotive detailer to another, when polishing most surfaces (painted, solid plastic as in the window trim that you did) you can sometimes see even better results if you start at a slow speed on the polisher, work your way up to high speed, and then finish with another slow speed pass. even on DA polishers this can provide an even more uniform final finish. not knocking your method, just a little tidbit of info that you may find useful in the future :)
Keep it!
You deserve this car. this was by far the most heart breaking journey to date. Keep it.
Through the power of empathy, we all feel like we have worked so much on this car. Kudos to you on never giving up; on so many occasions!
From 2:15
I'm going to pass out just by looking at that shining beauty,
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING THAT PERFECT
That silver M3 looks so good.... Can't wait!
Alpina have to buy this one for the museum!
The attention to detail is on another level, extremely impressive, gold standard of CZcams restoration videos imo.
I said before... I am not a fan of BMW... But your work and the results are just WOW... Congrats...
This video is so unbelievably satisfying...
if I had a magnificent car like that I would only take it out on the street on sunny days on weekends and always leave it clean in the garage covered with a proper cape. it's a gem.
Love the endless pursuit of perfection and battle with entropy. One question: does anyone else think the steering wheel logo looks a bit like a Window 95 logo?
You should keep it! The Alpina turned out so great 🙌
Massive Respect from the bottom of my heart.
I'm not entirely sure how easy it would be with someone everyday who is this.... Let's say "particular" but it makes for good videos.
Beautiful car.
Wow. Just,… wow. It feels bitter sweet seeing this saga come to close. Maybe another long running drama to interspace into your other projects would be fun!🙂
This project is amazing; thank you for the content!!!
A Project Binky and Project Chicago video getting released on the same day?😍 The stars have aligned!
Oh yes !
"WE ARE MEN!" - Absolutely brother!
Alpina B7 saga could easily go to a movie. Those cult movies 12 hours long. The best part of this car if I have to choose will definetily go to the rims. Nothing like a big classic sedan with steroids only shown in the legs. Cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina. We will wait for you anytime with an asado.
Coming back to this video for the 4th time just to appreciate the perfection achieved here.
As always, magical and fascinating work. Your knowledge and dedication makes me envious.
As a former E39 owner I share your passion,. As a retired IT guy you make me wish I had followed my instincts at the beginning of my career
So, in some ways, your adventures allow me to relive my youth.
What an outstanding car, hats off to you for a magnificent job!
Wow ! Cleanest B7 on earth!
i used to hate how this version of the 7 looked, you have converted me it’s a beautiful big machine. i remember when you got it and when the first engine failed i kept thinking you made a massive mistake. Well done you have really turned it into a masterpiece.
Congratulations on seeing this project through to completion. The pursuit of perfection is a long and arduous journey. Thank you for bringing us along for the ride.
Such an amazing car! The wood interior trim looks so much better than the previous!
Part 19 needed🔥🔥
The quality is just insane!
That last 15 minutes or so bit brought me to happy tears...goddammit this project went deep...but what a HUGE satisfaction this one brings. That being said, watching the ending wearing a m539 hoodie tops it off.
Your attention to detail, knowledge of what needs doing and how to do it is insane (great), it reminds me of an entirely different project, but equally insane, called “Project Binky”. Keep up the good work.
Pure BMW CLASS and Art or Sreten . Glory to this video 🔥
i have tears in my eyes
you are the best ever
and ever
Despite the steering knuckles not getting vapor blasted, this level of attention to detail is absolutely fantastic. It is most deflating that it requires being able to have a full time detailer along with the gardner, pool maintainer, and zookeeper on staff.
What an amazing restoration. The finish product is superb. 👏
Sreten. You have inspired me to continue fixing my own cars to a level closer to you. Thanks
“HELLO BALLJOINT!! Your balljointing days are over!!”😂classic.
Well everyone….this has been one hell of a journey for this project and it’s been brilliant.
