- In this episode, I bought sight unseen supposedly a really nice car. A 1996 BMW E36 328i finished in Arctic silver over beautiful Safran leather interior. The car has an interesting history as the first owner was an actual princess. We also do a round-up and update on all of the projects.

Congratulations on your marriage, wish you all the best and you deserve it!
Yeah he will end up like Hoovie.
@@gelmibson883 Good thing germany's marriage laws aren't the same as in the US then
Lads, you all know our lad here is a different breed. He won’t go the hoovie/tav route.
@@gelmibson883 What happened to Hoovie?
@@inspectorchickenlost his jewels.
Congratulations on your marriage, Sreten!!!! Very happy for you both!
Please do enjoy your wedding, and don't worry too much about us, pushing content and whatnot. We'll be here come hell or high water or worn rod bearings or bluetooth transmissions. You get the idea. It seems like this Fall is going to be a very interesting one for your channel, especially with Project Marseille getting rebuilt!
He will end up like Hoovie....
@@gelmibson883 lmao i love how this dude is everywhere in this comment section, incels are really out in droves today.
Hi, congratulations on Project Marriage. Of all your projects, this ought to be the priority. We, your faithful viewers would indeed appreciate even a small glimpse of your ceremony and celebration. Best to you and Bride.
Are better get a wedding episode! in Attendance should be all the cars (that can drive!)
I love that you have so many projects, it means lots of great content for us viewers! Please don't change your one-man setup! The character of the videos always changes (for the worst) when people bring in external editors etc. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we can wait for each excellent video to come out, when it's ready!
Holy shit, as a fellow E36 owner I only wished to see E36 content in your channel and it is now real! I am SO watching this tonight. Thanks for all you do man, you probably read this like 100 times a day, but these videos make a lot of people very happy.
Right? And I have 328 too
@@Sphyn0x same! Mine is a 328i M Clubsport coupe
I had one and still love the design!
Fun fact: in The Netherlands cars from the royal household were painted in a special blue color. When these cars were sold of they had to be repainted as that special color was reserved for the royal household. Not sure if that is still the case or that Belgium has a similar policy.
Wonder if that’s got blue under the grey…
@@joshbriody3982 Why? His car was not from The Netherlands!
Well, that might explain the actual color not matching the color code naming under the bonnet. This really looks like Aspen Silber instead of Arctic. (I've had a E39 and E38 in Aspen silber so i've seen that color quite frequently 😄)
@@nickturner2813true the car was from the Spanish Royal family.
@@jorgex1604 I see no Aspensilber in this E36... It's too dark grey and has no hint of purple lavender metallic in the sun... (I've had a 1998 e39 in Aspensilber for 10 years and I'm still bitter for selling it...) Aspen would also be an interesting color for a royal especially in combination with Aubergine leather, but perhaps the princess wanted the yellow leather and the color table in the buying guide probably discouraged a combo of yellow leather & Aspensilber... Also on the topic of combos, how about this yellow leather and Dakargelb? :-D
Congratulations on your marriage, Sreten. I wish all the best for both of you! You definitely deserve it!
As for e36, that's amazing. I have also been looking for one and could not find more or less decent.
Don't worry about publishing videos! Expectation is also absolutely worth it! It is even better when you know how many more projects are ahead!
So, take your time and be happy! 🎉
Sreten has the most positive comments section of any channel I follow and I absolutely love it.
We need to all collectively come together and donate money to him so that he keeps the E36!!!
The E36 looks incredible!! Such a clean car, and the spec is fantastic. Too much of a shame for a trackcar - but I fully support the build of a track car on your channel!
Massive thank you again for lending me my childhood poster car/your favourite car, the E60 M5! Can't wait to post the video soon :)
E36 is peak BMW era for me. I had several (including the M3 Evo). Personally I feel the 4 door has the best proportions and I'm glad to see one on the channel.
You'll need to add the exhaust trims to your list of parts needed too. They used to get stolen all the time around here. Not sure why unless it was because they would corrode and then get loose.
Nah, the Coupe/Cabrio had better proportions. The sedan looked weird.
@@kamata93 Touring all the way for me ❤❤❤.
@@kamata93I love the look of the 4 door e36 M3 in alpine white. Not a fan of any cabriolets.
E36 sedan looks way more balanced and aggressive, coupe fenders are long and goofy
E46 Coupe imo looks way better
Congrats with the marriage Sreten, happy for you two!
Also, I'm sure most of us don't mind which projects you do or what order you release videos. Any content is good content on this channel! 😁
He will end up like Hoovie.
yes
@@gelmibson883stop with your negative spammy comments on every congratulatory comment on this video. It screams that you have issues and it's quite embarrassing for you.
@@gelmibson883get a l*fe dude.
He deserves his own happiness.
Congratulations Sreten!!!!!
We wish you and your fiancé a long, happy, healthy, prosperous life together!! Sending you tons of love - from my family to yours!🥰
Congrats on the marriage, 9 years together is huge and all of us collectively are waiting on that E92 rebuild!
Congratulations on your marrige!
The plan you have in mind for the e46 touring sounds sick, and as for project valencia, it would be funny to reach out to the princess to see if she wants to buy it back (probably not, but it would make a really cool story if it came true lol)
Have you thought about using the e46 touring as a track car to learn on? To me it seems like a perfect use for the car considering it is being replaced by the e39 for daily purposes. The engine and gearbox can be driven hard on track as you are eventually swapping both with m54b30/6-speed. It doesnt need to be towed to the track -and can carry a bunch of tires/tools for trackdays in the back. Good starting point I would think, espesially with some light modifications.
@@sys-administrator Pretty much always cheaper than an E36 in Germany.
Good idea
All of these cars are so historical, interesting and beautiful that I would have the same problem of engaging in too much projects if I were in the position that you are. The good thing is that there is absolutely no rush because your videos are best in class and a blue e39 M5 is going to be as interesting in 2 years as it was in 2022 while the opportunities to acquire these vehicles do not hold for 2 or 4 years. Im ecstatic about the future of the channel, that e36 is a jewel. Congratulations!
E36 PRICES Just Went📈⬆️ Finally an E36!! Ive been wanting you to get one for so long! Congratulations on the Marriage too! You’ll be a Great Esposo
🍻Cheers
Congratulations on your up coming nuptials! May you both have a long and healthy life together. Great video as always, can’t wait for more. 👍
Love the E36! Was my first BMW and I miss it every day. This one would be a perfect candidate for dry ice cleaning, it looks perfect underneath
All of your cars are nice and special on their own way, but that E60 M5 is by far my favourite! But that may change after the E92 M3 is done. Congratulations on your marriage!
Congratulations on your marriage !!😍😍 WE are waiting E36 content so many many years and we wanna see many many episodes. When i hear, only one episodes is coming that breaks my heart 💔💔💔
Bullshit huh
OMG I loved these E36 328i models. I was in high school and I wanted one so badly with those same wheels and tires. Those drive beautifully. Wish they still made them like this. I would buy one in a heart beat!! You should restore it back to OEM and keep it as a classic BMW E36. This one is too nice to make it a track car.
Congrats on your marriage! Wish you guys the best. Amazing catch with the E36!
Congratulations for your marriage. All I can say is to enjoy every moment. Hope you the best. A follower from 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
A Tipp you propably already know: zkw headlights in comparison to the Bosch units have Glas stray lights inside. You can take them out and they clean up beautifully. Looks like new in the end 😊
FINALLYYYYYYYYY !!!! Thank you so much, an E36 in the dojo !! Can't wait to see this masterpiece reborn with you Sreten.
Sve čestike vama i vašoj verenici, želim vam sve najbolje i veliki pozdrav iz New York-a! I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos on the project Valencia. These types of videos where you just talk and give us an update on your projects are my favorite!
32:20 I'm so glad someone is taking these perfectly restored modern classics on extended road trips driving spiritedly on their home turf. That in itself is a bit of a time capsule, as most all the original buyers that have the time and money to do Mediterranean tours are now driving EVs or turbo 3 cylinder hybrids
Good to see an E36 at last. Love my Touring, 145000 miles and going strong
Great to see a new addition to the stable and what a gem it is. Enjoy your time off in July! We all need a break now and then, plus spending quality time with loved ones.
We can wait and tinker on our cars for a bit 😉
Congratulations with your marriage Sreten. Really happy for you!
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. The best way to make a 12 hour shift fly the knowledge that I had this to watch when i got home.
YES E36 CONTENT just as i got mine back for free from the ex owner that abandoned it at a shopping centre because of a flat battery..
It cost me the trailer rental. I'm expecting more filmic masterpieces around this beauty in future!
Congratulations!!! : )
And thank you for the update. What a schedule...that has to be the most impressive 1 man show on CZcams.
My first beemer was an E36 318i in Boston Green. Pretty slow for a 1.8 litre, but man I loved it. This 328i is going to be amazing. By the way when you drive it do we call you Prince or Princess Sreten? 😂
My E36 was Boston Green too, with a Parchment interior. Fantastic colour!
Congratulation on your marriage Sreten! Best channel of all time.
That E60 M5 with manual gearbox... what I dream car.
Congratulations, Sreten, on your nuptials. It's about time you pulled the trigger in your relationship. I wish you the very best, and you deserve it. Goddamn, that E36 looks amazing; such a great find. I can't wait to see what you get to do with this beauty. I'm sure you’ll be able to bring this car to near museum quality, as usual. That E36 looks like it was loved and taken care of. You got so lucky with this find, Sreten, time to get to work. Stay safe, and again, congrats on becoming a husband. Make sure you take care of your marriage as well as you take care of your livery, and everything will be fine. Also, thanks for the update on the rest of the livery; it's greatly appreciated. Take care of yourself, and we’ll see you on the next one, my friend.
Congrats on the marriage! Regarding the e36: finally you have one on the channel, and with royal pedigree to boot. It would be epic to give it the full m539 treatment and make it the nicest example there is.
Congratulations with the marriage. Best car man on CZcams 👏👏👏
Finally e36 on channel 😅
I own a 328 e36 coupe slicktop for 6 years now , daily use, 160.000km with me this beautiful m52 engine and always get me back home 😅
YES! an e36 finally. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
Sa srecom da je brak, cestitam. Da uzivate u miru, zdravlju, sreci i deci. Sve naj, naj, naj vam zelim. Ziveli 🥂
The Alpina REALLY is gorgeous!
Congrats on your marriage! Hope you have a great holiday and thanks for everything you do and share with us!
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, Sreten! Enjoy your time away from all the projects, we'll all be here when you get back!
Congrats, Sreten. I wish you and and your wife all the best!
Smartest thing I've ever heard "Track Car? no far too nice"
So happy for you! Congratulations on your marriage, you both deserve the best! Loved the update on all projects, and small project like this one, and many fun more to come.
Congrats on the marige bro♥️
Don't worry about the time and how long it takes you to release the episodes, as long as you enjoy doing this we're here till time does us apart! "Wink wink" pun intended
Many congratulations on your marriage. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and peace! 🎉
Congratulations on your marriage, Sreten.
Wish you guys the very best.
Congrats Sreten! I'm so happy for you two. Do what you love and don't change, you're amazing!
Sreten Congratulations! 🎉❤
I’m so happy for both of you!
Wish you all the happiness and the best because you deserve it!
E36s are so well built and easy to work on.
My father owned a E36 328i Touring from 1996 - 2001. Even today he's telling me that this car was the best in his whole life. In five years he drove close to 400.000km to this car and it never takes one drop of oil or water. It was also the first BMW with which I rode...In 1998 to my birth into the hospital and later back to my home.
My parents also owned in that time a BMW E30 318i Cabrio in Diamantschwarz with leather in Beige. They bought it brandnew in 1990. Today I wish I was born sooner because I have no memories of that cars...
Congratulations on everything including engagement! It’s so awesome to hear about all the projects and get all the updates.
I'm so glad to see you in an E36. its the chassis that made me fall in love with BMWs. I miss my '99 M3.
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! Wishing you both love, health and happiness!
Non! pour moi, c'est une légère restauration pour la remettre sur la route et ensuite la revendre à un collectionneur de véhicule ayant appartenue à une personnalité et je sais qu'en France il y en à. En tout cas Bravo, Bravissimo pour l'ensemble des contenues, la qualité de vos présentations, l'apprentissage que vous nous procurez, votre transparence et le spectacle que que vous nous offrez. MERCI
Congrats Sreten!! Don’t worry about the gap, we’re happy to wait for your videos. They’re well worth the wait
Congratulations on both your marriage and new project, hope the future holds much success for you✌️
Thats why The World Web has no BMW's left on it. Sreten has them ALL ! Congrats !
That idea with the e46 323i is really sounding good.
What a neat looking E36 you have found and it needs to be saved for a new owner to enjoy it. Looking forward to next episode.
Thank you for the updates on all projects and congratulations on your journey to marriage.
❤🎉
Congratulations man, wish you all the best . You've been my favourite guy on the internet and I am sure you will continue to be.
I absolutely love the E36, it was the one wich got me into BMWs, the first one I drove and the first one i worked on
Congratulations on the marriage, happy wife happy life ❤
Thanks for the great video! And congrats on your upcoming wedding! Finally, an E36. I just bought one last year. Looking forward to see how you fix the rattling cat heat shields :). Keep up the great work! I’ve been married 34 years, and my addiction to your videos has been one of its great tests…
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, you two.
Great to see an E36, I still look at my 328i Sport and cry. Metal was so fragile back in the day, it blistered and rusted.
Good luck on a quick turn around and a bit of profit hopefully, to put back in your pocket.
The E36 look good with the sunflower rims
Congratulations on your marriage! Thank you for your videos. As a fellow 10' 75" shorty, I am addicted.
Congratulations and best wishes on your marriage. You two have a bright future together. 🎉
Congrats on such a milestone in life brother! May happiness be with you two through thin and thick! With regards to the time of the year and viewership, man even if i have a busy life, I always find time to watch your videos, nothing like em out there! Enjoy your week ahead 😎
I would love to see an E28 524td project. I have one in the USA and they are incredibly rare here and no one works on them. It would be beautiful to see the M21 get the love it deserves!
Congratulations Kids. Have a Blast! 🤗🤗
Congratulations on getting married! All best wishes and thanks a ton for the lovely content! Would love to see M54+ build for E46!
Čestitke na ženidbi puno sreće tebi i tvojoj zaručnici🎉🎉
Hvala ti na tome sto uz tvoje projekte ja isto ucim kako voljeti i poštovati svoj automobil.
Svi mi tu volimo te nakupine lima i emocija ;)
For a brief moment I thought you'd found the holy grail, a BMW without an oil leak. Joking aside, that is a clean E36.
Love how he says ledder!
Congratulations Streten, wishing you and your wife to be the best.Also love the content.
Looking forward to the 3.3 e46 build. Would be great to see before and after dyno + acceleration tests, but i know its a lot of hassle
Congrats on getting married. Hope your day is as special as all the projects you have :)
Congratulations for the second marriage (as the 1st was deciding to fix broken bmw’s)! Whenever you can, please tell me your opinion about E83 X3 lci. They are reaching bottom price here in Brazil, and I’ve been somewhat considering as a daily. Tourings around here have become really pricey.
Had a couple of E36 328i back in the day, super fun machines with a few minor mods! Best of luck with the marriage :)
Go have a wonderful time. We'll all be here when you get back. Congratulations. You found a woman who will put up with your car mania. Well done. Best to her as well.
Congrats on the wedding! Thank you for sharing all the things in your life. Love this channel more than most of the things in my life!
Congrats on tying the knot! I recently mechanically restored a 1998 323is in Avus blue w/ a manual so this is right up my alley, looking forward to more E36 content. Also, that interior color looks very similar to Modena interior offered on the E36 M cars. I owned one such example in Alpine White years and years back.
Congrats Sreten!
For the E36, check if the fog lights are working, if not that might be the cause of the ASC light.
If that doesn't make sense, it's because I left out that the relay for the fogs and the ASC module are the same :). Super easy traction control delete if you want it.
Very nice E36! I hope it won't break too often, these are great and reliable cars but very rarely they are well maintained so sometimes you have to invest a lot of money and time to make them as good as they should be. I have a 1996 BMW E36 320i coupe with 132000 kilometers and after watching your video I'm sure it's her original mileage because the overall condition of the car is very similar to your 328, although mine is in a bit better condition. The seats in my E36 are also this type of heavy duty leather, I think it's called "Bison" and the smell! Wow! The smell of leather in this car is one of the reasons I like it so much. I'm also the owner of an E36 M3 US (s52b32 not s50) with what they call "vader seats" and although they are beautiful but they're made with a different type of leather, it's thinner and doesn't have that smell which is a bummer, otherwise the're both great cars.
I have waited all my life for this. Sreten finally getting an E36.
Congratulations on your marriage Sreten! Enjoy the wedding, family time and just take care of you both! See you!
Congratulations on your upcoming nuptuals, Sreten! Considering how you found a lady who accepted and supported your Beemer wrenching when it was a hobby, and did the same when you started filming it, and then when you decided to do it full time, I'd say you got the ultimate petrolhead partner!
Here's to a happy wedding, and an even happier marriage, dude.
22:55 I love this guy 😂😂😂😂👍
Top demais, clássico da minha geração, carro de magnata rico aqui no brasil nos anos 90 🇧🇷.
FINALLY! An e36. My favorite.🤗
Congratulations on your marriage
I’m soooooo happy to hear that 🎉🎉🎉
E36 has no better purpose in today's day and age this one is EXCELLENT actually abit of a sweat pea! in the process of looking at my first e60 m5 that doesnt run, your videos will be heavily relied on in the coming weeks
For a nice experience on the track, I recommend you a 325ti compact. It drives spectacular on the track.
Ti is hideous though
Congratulations on your marriage,wishing you both a long life with a lot of broken bmws
Finding such a pristine example of an E36 is as rare as hens teeth these days here in the US.
Congratulations Sreten! 🎉🎉🎉Enjoy your wedding! Will you be sharing a registry with us? Maybe some of us would want to send you a wedding gift!
