I was looking on auto trader the other day they're still quite expensive even in the most neglected state. Probably the interior parts would be a real nightmare.

Otherwise I would like to see him do an old 190 era Mercedes. I really hope he doesn't turn into a Porsche snob.
Good call. I'd be down for this too!

great episode. I really appreciate the way Sreten builds his cars as of late; great balance of aftermarket and OEM.

His driving has gotten smoother. I think he should start looking into safety items. The ring can be dangerous. I've spun a few times there in my e30's on different corners most of the times weather related and tire related. Never hit a track barriers as that stuff was expensive but I had a control arm rip out and had to get towed home to Bitburg by ADAC which is AAA in Germany.

I think he mentioned getting a cage installed at the end of his last vid.

Not any more, no. His 530i E39 was auto, if I remember right.

Edit: The Alpina B10 is auto still, and he's thinking of putting a ZF8 auto in it.

I really do like watching his channel, especially on the e46Touring conversions. I am trying to learn through him since I cannot find someone local to help me with an e46 s54 Touring swap touring that I bought. The locals shops in my area are not interested in helping me due to the swap not being a factory swap or perhaps because it not CA emission compliant. Ironic, since I am looking for assistance in getting CA Emissions compliant. Several shops did acknowledge that used to work on e46's but they have move-on and no longer service e46 due to it being a "legacy series."

I’ve just finished the Project Rottweil series, I can only wish to have the time, tools and patience to restore a car like this.

I’m taking notes on the m54 engine preventative maintenance and what small bits I can apply to X5 e53.

Keep it up Sreten, I’m sure you channel and audience will grow.

I wondered why it didn't show up in my feed, it's a new channel apparently, "M539 Plus". FYI for anyone else if you subscribe to the restorations channel and didn't see this either.

Why the 2nd channel, I wonder?

Edit: So he can post quick and dirty edits without clogging up the main channel...cool!
