Just epic! Congratulations. No sponsoring, no music no nonsense bla bla. Keep up the good work! This format is just great.
This is the best BMW content on the whole of CZcams.
Honestly, you are the only channel/youtube content producer that I genuinely get excited about when a new video gets posted, I actually plan/make time in my day to watch your videos. You are awesome, please never stop!
Having been a long term follower of the channel I can honestly say that I would feel more confident buying one of your used cars than buying a new one straight from BMW! The level of attention to detail you take I can guess is far higher than a car being rushed off a production line. You are a great engineer and a superb content producer. Thanks for your videos
The best E65 is a sold one! 😂
That small flashing you see on the angel eyes with key on is the car doing the bulb check on the circuits to look for a blown bulb. On a filament bulb it's so minor voltage you won't see it, but LEDs will pick that low voltage up and flash
I have to be hones....sometimes I find myself wondering why you have such a allegiance to BMWs. Yes in many ways the are great cars, but the BMW company ties owner's hands in a big way and does not respect or appreciate that allegiance. It seems more so than any other manufacturer I can think of.
It’s sad that I was a BMW senior tech yet I genuinely think I has learnt more from binge watching your videos than I did on my UK BMW apprenticeship. Keep up the good work.
Maintaining your sarcastic sense of humor throughout your videos makes them very entertaining. Congrats on the Alpina inspection!
Sretene, the US-spec cars did not come with the rear fog light switch (button) at all. The US-spec switch just has a single front fog light button and no nothing else.. Interestingly, for some reason the previous owner in the US must have installed the Euro-spec switch at some point which is why you have it on your car. Hey - you saved a few Euros. Treat yourself to some strawberries!
The only guy that can make a 1 hour+ video and have me tied-up to the seat the entire time. Amazing content! Greetings from Argentina.
I always take my time before starting Sreten's video, because I know the next hour will be epic and I do NOT want the episode to be over soon! So, I first get in the mood, grab some coffe or tea & snacks, and, then, finally hit play...I was eagerly waiting for this one and I write this comment before even watching it: I konw it will be Nummer eins, Super, Fantastisch! Thank you so much Sreten for this high quality entertainment! Our love and support from Canada!
Just a tip from a retired painter: Plastic primer adheres to the plastic; the paint adheres to the plastic primer. Plastic primer does not give flexibility. You have to add a softface additive to the paint to achieve flexibility. Remember the floppy spoiler/bumper covers of the 90s on Suzuki Swifts etc :)

just beautiful bro, ur editing, ur voiceover, ur no nonsense mechanical work and just the general vibe. really appreciate the videos
Congrats Sreten, you've saved yet another special BMW from reaching its end of life. Truly a great money pit!
This is fantastic, I thought this project might have a sad ending but you’ve really knocked it out of the park with the monster alpina.
I wrote this earlier: you’re a freakin’ hero! I think you’re a one of type a guy with a massive Bimmer-heart!
I can spend 1 hour of free-time on Netflix or I can spend 1 hour watching your video and I always end up here. It's nice to see honest work paying off. Also congratulations on the inspection you definitely earned it.
man i teared up when you read the HU-Bericht with "keine Mängel". I'm usually not very interactive, but i think your content is worth. just keep doing
