It is so refreshing to see european car youtuber that uses correct metric system and talks in english. Makes a world of a difference when you dont need to convert stupid imperial specs that brits and americans use. Thank You very much for the content.
in English
I still love Harry's Garage even if he uses imperial
Us Brit’s can use both imperial and metric
Your are a master mechanic, saving these wonderful BMW’s. They still look elegant, with a clean and simple design - they are timeless. I love your commentary too - a great blend of humour and excellent technical information. Hi from NZ.
What he said, plus another hi from NZ.
@@jasoncatt Me 3, lol
not from new zealand, but goddamn is burgerfuel good. that is all. take care friends
Specially the engine
Im in NZ too. Lovely video.
I have never owned a BMW, maybe never will, I just admire this guy's patience, technique, knowledge and humour. Better than TV.

E38 is top notch design, elegant, masculine,solid and enormous power.I can forget the first day I saw it, I went round it to find a fault but none. The good thing was, I later bought but one and I can say till date nothing bmw ever designed has come close or impressed me like e38. Decades after, it's still commanding immense attention and enthusiasm from quality car lovers and even teenagers.
That Zip Tie trick on the trans gasket, is F.ing genius.
I'm taking it lol
I normally apply a small amount of grease in some parts of the gasket. Works fine.
What if the zip tie end falls into the pan and the pick up sucks it through the torque converter
@@GatsCreationMotorworks Risks we all run sometimes
@@GatsCreationMotorworks if your cutter split the zip ties instead of doing clean cuts, your cutters are not good enough. Usually zip ties don't split in bits! Keep these cutters sharpened, brother!

26:49 Haha, went a little bit Doug DeMuro there for a sec... LOVE IT!
Please don't compare him to that clown.
Your DeMuro humour is next level... 🤩
That hammer was probably made in China (I would not be surprised the new taillamp came from China as well), as most tools used in the video, my iPhone 11 is made in China that I am using to post this, I have good collection of tools from Home Depot , DeWalt, Milwaukee, Bosch, etc. that are made in China
Doug is a moron that happens to have a famous uncle. Nothing to compare against.
That's utterly unfair to compare a genius hands on mechanic with a cunt who thinks to understand about cars. Seriously, if Doug gets a flat, even though he'd have a spare and a wrench, yet he'd call AAA!
You’ve filled the void left behind by Ed China. Your attention to detail is very admirable, from the work on the car down to the countless hours of editing you must do.
Miles ahead of Ed china
Edd
Yes it makes two of us, Edd China's workshop diaries is not as good as this, he was better in wheeler dealers otherwise the only limitation here is absence of other models of vehicles!
@@wycliffeluswata9097 I made the comment before Edd started back up. I still watch Edd’s series, and enjoy it for different reasons. My situation is more akin to Edd working on the Land Rover, than Sreten working on his BMW’s.
I still appreciate both the same.
I LOVE it when you clean parts that will never be seen again.
0:08 - 0:28 These top gear/grand tour style previevs are awesome!
Love your vids
This literally had me sold.
Tonight...
I break things...
Richard gets a fluid shower...
and James carries a ladder.
Admit it, we all read that in Jeremy Clarkson's voice.
WE WANT MOREEEEEEE
"AND today i'm going to show you all their quirks and features" lol
Doug x)
I was loving the repairs before that, I laughed so hard at that part near the end. Never figured a German mechanic cared much about Doug Demuro.
@@alexsurber7057 There are good and bad factories in China. I believe you have bought some bad quality stuff from bad factories. Not all tail lights made in China are bad. Just like the iphones made in China. I have used them for many years and they are always error-free.
Someone get this man his own TV show ASAP!!!
This channel has some of my favourite content on CZcams. The attention to detail, patience, persistence and knowledge are all second to none, a joy to watch! And the sound of that V12 firing up and purring..... Beautiful!
You best know that I’ll be watching this video over and over again
Im joining U 👍🏽
I love how you take the time to clean surfaces that will never be seen once the car is together. Goooood shit.
This guy must be a bmw master master chief technician, he just fixes everything and well too.
Yessss! Binky and M539 in the same week!
I like how you pay attention to smallest details. i have my project in garage, but it is more satisfying to watch someone else working. Well done :)
Great technician who does a fantastic job bringing these classic BMW s back to life. We need to see more of you though can't wait for the next episode .
This is the only channel I would pay to watch !!!
"AND today i'm going to show you all their quirks and features" haha :):) thought i was on a diff chan for a sec!
DOUG hhaha
@@xschan yup !
I was waiting for him start flailing his hands and arms around :)
THIS
Awesome timing. Just got the kids to sleep, beer opened and notification popped up for this.
I love that you don't do some shitty timelapse that you see someone working and you don't even understand the process, your channel skips the boring or repeated process to make the videos MUCH more enjoyable, but you still explain every process, so everyone understands every step you take, that really shows up in your videos that don't need to be skipped any second, the only ones on youtube so far , even in your early videos you had the golden mechanical youtube video recepie, and you made it even better and still keep it, congrats
Love the way you clean stuff, even though it’s never going to be seen again. Feels good just knowing it while sitting in the car.
Best car mechanic on CZcams, bar none.
Love the German/Brit shared dry sense of humour - you are brilliant 😂👍
ekim andersom what is he then?
@@ianwynneuk Serbian, but living in Germany
Love everything about your videos: the story telling, the obsessive attention to detail, the occasional humor, and the love for these timeless BMWs. Thank you for helping us get through this time by enjoying your restoration projects!
I love your perfectionism and your humor. Your bit with the cheap Chinese lights was really funny. I share your sentiment!
Depo is actually a Taiwanese brand FYI
I’m in awe of your ability to diagnose and repair the issues. I have a friend who has own several 90’s 8-series & one 90’s V12 7-series. I loved those cars.
When you say that your training is in IT and you do this in your off time then there are two possibilities.
One: Your IT job is an Unicorn - i.e. Lots of pays with minimal work and lots of spare time.
Or
Two: you are a car nut and read workshop manuals like the morning newspaper and have a wonderful temperament to do the work that you do.
Kudos to your efforts in making these videos.
This built is particularly attractive as I am from Dubai!
He’s a computer scientist he makes bank dude unicorn one is right. He’s a brogammer
No girlfriend.
Seeing you fix all these gave me the motivation i needed to fix my e30. Its running perfect now, and drives great. New shocks next.
this is my favorite mechanical car channel for now!!
Your OCD makes me happy...
Cleaning parts and the places where they go before installing...just perfect
Dude, your videos are on point. Really a pleasure to watch, your editing skills are also very good. That humour! 😂
Just wanted to comment to say how much I enjoyed watching this video, it was amazing to see how thorough you can be when you're working, even going as far as to replace the hardware on the exhaust clamps and, my personal favorite that always makes me happy, you clean the area around whatever you're fixing / replacing, like with the tail lights. Great video, very informative with some interesting funny moments. On an amazing V12 BMW no less! Please please please keep up the good work and keep uploading this sort of stuff!
Amazing work and I am still using his older videos as reference for my own work on my e38. From the torque specs to the proper care and diagnosis in every project series, nobody does it better. Thank you Sreten.
I've just stumbled on this channel and it's my new favourite. You do an amazing job and I love the knowledge you drop so casually. Top work mate
Author: the manual explicitly says to torque it by the nut, and not by the bolt.
Me: Them german mechanics, always following manuals and shit
Minute later:
Author: torque wrench won't fit here, so *I WILL TORQUE IT UNTIL I FEEL MY BONE OR BOLT IS ABOUT TO BREAK*
Well torquing by the nut is standard for anything, ive had multiple BMW’s and torqued by feel on the driveshaft with zero issues
lmaoooo
This fits: www.proxxon.com/en/industrial/23342.php
Torquing by the nut is mandatory on aircraft. Just saying.
German engineer motto "WHY MAKE IT SIMPLE WHEN WE CAN MAKE IT DIFFICULT"!
This 7 series was my dream car since I was a kid. It still looks magnificent and the fact that you can serive it to it's perfection is most admirable. Keeping them on the road is like holding a treasure and the sound? OMG it's wonderful! Huge shout out to you man!
Dude. I've just found your channel and it's an absolute joy to watch. And I'm not even into cars that much. Super relaxing and inspiring content. Instant subscriber.
I love to see how simple is the mechanics on these cars. You did an excellent job resurrecting such a magnificent machine. Hello to everybody, from Puerto Rico. Please be safe and healthy.
They is nothing so beautiful like watching a BMW restoration, cant wait for the M5 restoration . Nice job
25:00 Stahlwille manoskop torq wrench with special flat spanner attachment would work really well in this situation when space is limited. Thank you for the great video!
Your attention to detail is nothing short of inspirational.
You're so patient with these BMW's, I wish I could be like that with mine lol. I'd like to add your also an excellent mechanic I was amazed at how you were able to seamlessly replace the belts and pulleys. Shoutout from Canada dude!
Love the "Gallagher" treatment on the taillights!
This is by far my favourite CZcams channel. I'm mostly here for the old BMWs 😜I learn some great things here though!
Man , your videos are just perfect . Light humor , precicive mechanics , solutions to problems, beautiful cars. You are like a european car wizard.
Love how you cleaned the heat shield and the panel behind the license plate holder. Fantastic attention to detail. Great channel.
Finally. A new episode 🚙 and the beginning is awesome 😀
Oh this is soo satisfying to watch! Top!
Good job....😉😉😉😉
I love ur videos, works, and work ethic. For someone who has been doing this for some years, I know how hard it is to stay positive and not cursing every 5 seconds! Great Job!
Another great vid! I get huge enjoyment out of watching these. I've been thinking of getting a 750iL but was daunted by the possible maintenance nightmare it may become. Your videos, besides being very educational, are also entertaining. You've got a great sense of humour and i like that you include the satisfying 'click' of bolts breaking loose and torque wrenches reaching their setting. It's also nice to watch someone passionate about what they're doing and combining it with intelligence and thoughtfulness. Bravo...carry on (please).
This channel is dope can't wait for the next part!
Finally been waiting for this episode for ages 🤣
The e32 and e38 V12's are still my all time favourite BMW's having owned and restored two myself, I love watching you bring these majestic cars back from the dead. Someday I hope that I might own one again.
I always cheer up when I see you have another video up. Love the way you work, who on earth paints a pulley.. ain't nobody got time for that! The eye for detail in truly awesome!
You could, should, turn the engine on without the exhaust system so we were able to listen that V12 sound, (aside from errors codes because of the sensors)
Love the video, ready for more
"My tool let me down" It happens to the best, just talk to your partner about it.
I sense that you are talking about the joystick
Definitely one of the cleanest examples I have ever seen and I have been a detailer for 13 years
Thank you for the excellent content, from the type of BMWs you restore, to the editing style, and humor.
26:36 this is nice. First I thought you had to replace the whole tailgate.
I rarely comment on youtube but you sir, you deserve my comment. Keep the good content coming 💪🏼
Thank you for gracing us with a 30min video in these difficult times.! 🙏
Honestly - it's a real pleasure to watch your job man.
Yeeeeessss!!!!! Finally, thank you very much Streten!
You removed the nut and hit the tip of the bolt with a hammer to hit it out. ALWAYS screw a nut 3/4 of the way on so you'd hit the nut and not the bolt. You can easily damage the bolt and stretch the end when you hit it directly with a hammer
@Sander I dont think he reused those bolts
Am I the only one that every now and then comes back to rewatch some Sreten classics?
Nope 😊
You are a man with multiple talents and a sense of humor too, keep up the good work!
More great content please 🤩
*_That is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!_*
_Это прекрасно!!!!!!!!!!!_
What a true beauty. I still love the styling of this car. Even after all those years, it never got ugly in my opinion.
This is just beautiful to see, never stop restoring these babies to their glory!
This is my Netflix. been waiting for it since the lockdown 😊
By the way, no torque converter fluid to change? Hope you don't have to open it again haha
Worst part of your videos: waiting for the next video.
I love the older BMWs and being a qualified BMW Technician it's always great to see these old beauties being looked after and worked on properly.
Thank you for yet another great video. It is great to see you put all the professional TLC in those BMW’s. Awesome!
Hello sir, I'm wondering how much cost this one car after you restaurated it?
I love your work. Greetings from big BMW fan!
20,000 euro
26:50 German version of Doug DeMuro 😂
The was he comes out the garage 😂😂
That's an insult. Doug is trash
Doug deMoron.
The SERBIAN version.
He isn't German.
I think you make the best video's on repairs and have a lot of knowledge, they are great to watch! Keep up the great work!
Another awesome video! Well planned, filmed, edited and described. I had a 1999 728i sport individual and it was the best car I have owned. It's lovely to see the restoration in such detail. Please keep them coming, really enjoying them. Thank You
26:56 a Doug Demuro reference? 😁
Yup
I hate it. What is it? Why? All stuffs from Europe are good?? I don't believe it.
Geez, that transmission fluid :|
I just laughed my a** out, while you were announcing and breaking those tail lights. :'D
Great video again, just cant wait to see this beauty completed.
PS.: dont you have in mind giving those new tail lights some kinda protection? Like a good wax, ceramic coat, PPF.
I coated them with some Sonax protection coating.
Thank you for the road trips, repair information and the humor!
I am a huge Merc fan but my son and I never miss any of your videos. Looking forward to the new projects. Thank you for another awesome video!!!
I just discovered this channel and I think this might be the best day of my year so far. I LOVED this!!!!!!!!
day 3.....and I can't stop watching your videos. someone like you I would like as a mechanic. this accuracy is impressive
Another great video, very relaxing to watch all the old worn parts getting replaced! Thanks!
This work really liked the people who care for their cars ... really this is an excellent work, and it feels love with your car ... Thank you for spreading the beautiful feeling with the car.
Therapeutic to watch and immensely informative. Great job!
The presentation style and humour remind me of my old colleagues from Haiterbach
Great job! I have a 99 e38 750il that I’ve had since it was 3 years old. It’s nice seeing videos of this beauty. It drives better than anything I’ve ever been in. I have the double pane glass which makes it so quiet and the air ride makes it so smooth. Liquid cooled components to top it off. A masterpiece!!!!
Your channel has become one of my favorites. The one man Wheeler Dealer. Thank you.
Your tail light review gained you my subscription! Genau und auf den Punkt!
Another great one - I continue to be impressed by your methodical working practice. Excellent!
Awesome! I am totally in awe of your technique and organisation.
Your simply awesome. Your doing the right thing.i am a current owner of a e39 540 for the last 12 year's and can't let it go.
Dude, I love how you clean behind the new tail lights and license plate panel before installing the new stuff. Makes me smile.
Very good channel, I was hooked when I saw you open the oil filter cap on another one of your videos to allow the oil to drain into the sump before changing the oil. I thought I was the only one that did this, but now am glad there are more like me haha. Keep it up buddy! I'm on my 9th BMW and enjoy doing everything on it with the exception of alignments...those still get done at the dealer.
I love your video content man! Looks so satisfying just seeing you resurrect these from the dead. The 750IL E38 is the best 4 door saloon ever built! Ive had two e38s, one 740i and a 750il that i miss and couldn't afford to keep it on the road. Looking forward to more videos!
That 750il is just fantastic, what a job you have done so far, well done!
Fantastic mechanic. No fear of doing any job what so ever! Great videos. Thanks.
