  • After a year in my ownership, lots of effort and money, we finally hit the Autobahn in the E60 M5. From a broken, neglected turd to a high-speed Autobahn rocket! Project Raleigh goes through TUV inspection in this episode and gets German license plates. Headphone users, please adjust your volume accordingly!

    This channel feels original in the sea of CZcams VPN advertisements, Manscaping products, empty daily vlogs, and screen protector ads. It's actual hands-on automotive content not advertising the newest fad. Skill at work, a discernible skill with results vs running a clickbait marketing machine for money and views. I like it, I wish more would stay like this or go back to this type of content.

      Liqui moly as a sponsor is not that bad because that stuff actually goes in the car he is working on. But all thr sponsors that have zero to do with the cars feels so desperate and cheap to me. Like giving up on the passion for cars and selling the soul to the empty shell product placement pushers. Keep it up with the BMW's, your videos keep me motivated with my old german crap called 1980's Opels :P

    Congratulations on being one of a handful of people on the planet known to have successfully serviced the S85 V10 rod bearings. Too often we hear about these engines self destructing due to this known flaw in the S85's. Even the Car Ninja, Jonny, a very skilled BMW specialist wasn't able to successfully repair JRGO's S85-powered M6. Huge props to getting this car back on the road. I still long for more E32 content, or even some work on the E21 3 series.

    Sreten, you have a lot to answer for. After a lifetime running Jaguars, and having watched all of your videos, I have today bought my first BMW. You wouldn't like it because it's got a tractor engine (535D) but I'm blown away by it. Thank you so much for your channel. It is high quality content delivered in an engaging style. Long may you, and it, prosper.

    • @craigchamberlain

      I'm on my second 535d after the first was rear-ended by an idiot in a rental van... It really is an awesome machine and although it doesn't rev to 8000 RPM and sound like the E60 M5, it has its own, purposeful soundtrack which I really like. I'm pretty sure any time I lose while driving against an M5 I would make up by making fewer refuelling stops! 😂

    I traded my E60 M5 because the oil pump that supplies the vanos went bad and the BMW dealer wanted $24,800 to repair the engine. At the time my wife had cancer and there was no way I could afford the repairs, so I took it back to the dealer that I purchased it from, and they were kind enough to help me do a trade. I have regreted that trade ever since because nothing I have or had gave me the same satisfaction. That M5 just pulls like nothing else. It was not a quick as most modern sports cars but the top speed made it very respectable. I currently have an E92 M3 with the DCT, fun car just not the same. Love your video by the way, wish I had the wrenching skills you have. May try to get another M5 next year when I retire.

Lock in the pressure in your ac testing tools and transfer to the ac that might be leaking the open the line. The ac Refrigerant will show you exactly where the leak is coming from if there is one. To help you imagine what you're doing thinking of over pressurizing a bike tire fast. Air will rush out you can see it, and hear it . Keep up the good work love the car and channel.
