whose got the lead on a parts supplier site as good as departo's in the US????

FCPeuro and RMeuropean are pretty good

No annoying elevator/filler music, my ears thank thee! Greetings from SG!

1:42 and his brooothar

I always like watching your videos, so cool to see you bring back these older super cars. Cheers

5.4 V12 i heard BMW may bring it out a new one.

I love this car

Kaput - good one!

"you frivolous bastard" Easily my new top car channel

Once again I would like to thank you for all the knowledge you share for my two BMWs. I have an 850i (6spd freshly painted original silver), and a 750il (freshly painted original Schwarz II black, both 1992). I do most of my own maintenance here in Texas. You've provided some invaluable insight to help me complete their full restoration. I lived in Germany for six years and learned a lot about BMWs. Many thanks again.

I Really Love this Guy Man and really really appreciate what is he doing. Also Great Comedian and Sense of Humor is Just Mind Blowing...♥️ Can't fast forward your video even once and the repairing you do is just magnificent....🔥🔥👌🏻 Keep Giving us more content and can't wait for upcoming vids....😍 Love you again.♥️♥️

Thanks for the Heart Sir.....☺️🥰😘😍♥️

Hey can you please tell me what you have set on the multimeter to check the ignition wire ?

Well done, good effort, excellent attention to detail. Really enjoyed this video!👍👍👍

To hear an engine back to life is always awesome... let alone a V12...

Hey, you should try to find a old abandoned e34 m5 to add to your m5 collection. I would really like to see that restoration since i really like the e34 chassis and it would be a cool series.

You look like Salomondrin 😮

Always thought Germans didn’t have a sense of humour. Wrong.🤪😂🤪😂🤪😂

Just be careful using a vacuum in a fuel tank. You will be sucking fuel vapour through an electric motor, which is a potential fire hazard. Always good to see cool cars getting some love though :-)

Great video and presentation from over the pond 🇬🇧.... fantastic keep up the good work

Probably the most enjoyable content on YouTube to date. Where do I dump my money your way?

You are awesome! Thank you for teaching us good stuff while being so hilarious. Best regards from Hamburg!

please don't vacum go juice fumes 1 spark in cleaner and happy times xD

No, that cannot happen with a vet shop vac.

Great job and video! Is it very complicated to remove the engine and work with room to do all the maintenance and parts replacement?

Fantastic content. Very interesting and educational. You have exceptional talent - looking forward to all of your projects - God bless you.

10:21 Fresh carbon fiber towel

Throw in a few microfiber towels, use aircompressor to blow all the lose shit and remaining fuel into the towels, vaccuum bigger dirt, pull out the towels, tank clean.

What is the official name of the “defogging oil” you use from Liqui Moly? I’m having a hard time finding it. Great videos!

Those are some nice wheels. The factory wheels are killer too.

Svaka cast, objavis i svoje fejlove a objasnjavas fantasticno. Odlican video i poucan kao i uvijek.

I love your videos dude! Keep it up :)

9:52 Oh, don't use a vacuum cleaner in the fuel tank like that. If there's a static discharge, you could ignite the remaining fuel vapors in the tank and cause and explosion.

@Beer400C https://youtu.be/C-0-PH-ZU_0

An this is a wet commercial vacuum.

@M539 Restorations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrb51xs7Heg

I'm using a wet shop vac, it's fine for that.

I went to sleep at 2am watching his video and ended in this one I refuse to fall asleep to some insightful situation so I paused the video and came back to this morning and I’m glad I did that because knowing the shady shit mechanics do he points out the mistakes and “bypasses” mechanics do to get customers to pay a lot for basically no actual labor and cost. Wish we had more mechanics like this guy around! That other mechanic is a piece of shit charging ~6k ($) for wrong fuel lines, wrong spark plugs and putting in the fuel filters backwards. Some of this is down right dangerous for the person driving and engine.

In 30 years we wont see any of these struggles, with these small 3 cylinders engine hahahah

In the US we have a product called POR15 for rust prevention. You can zinc spray the rust then cover the area with the POR15.

If Euro cars have catalytic converters, you shouldn't use silicone spray on the fuel lines. It damages the O2 sensors and cats.

I watch the whole wagon series last night where he turned a “not expensive daily” to a M series. I honestly love the way he works and is informative and gives his knowledge out what’s right, wrong, and great for the car. He sticks to a lot of oem parts if he knows it’s still good for the car. He cracks me up the way he throws stuff around though! 😂

I break the plugs loose then cleanout the holes

im jealous sir, i wish i had your knowhow, id love to fix and restore old BMWs. That 750 is beautiful

Plot twist; previous owner probably did all the maintenance by himself and fucked up all those mistakes and then said he paid big bucks for that :D Other than that; great job, pleasure to watch :)

Me encanta tu canal! Gracias por tus vídeos!

I just... love you and your videos. Keep it up

Sreten, I have watched all your videos and love all of them. It took a while but it seems like the word is out "You are the man". Congratulations on the 400k+ subscribers you truly deserve it, I wish you all the best moving forward. Two thumbs up on being able to leave your I.T job to do what you really love, working on old BMW's. You have put an idea in my head about finding one of these neglected vehicles and bringing it back to life. I am an ex Master ASE certified mechanic so I can so all of the wrenching myself and make sure it is done properly.

Oof someone needs to get you an 11" flex-head LP90 ratchet by SK. It's one of the best I've ever used and saves me from terrible swing arcs like the one you busted your hand on. On Porsches you can break a really expensive air/oil Separator housing, and coolant barb fittings associated with when you're working on the front of the engine so it's become an old friend. I also keep a drawer of those coolant barbs now.

17:04 A lot of humans? 😂👍

A beautiful car.. I commend you 👍❤ good job

Man...u are Unbelievable..!!!..I could sit and learn from u aaalll day long.!!!😊

Well deserved beers are always the best beers.

Is there any way these videos get to the original mechanic? You said this was work of professional BMW service provider - it would be more beneficial if they saw issues with their work so that they can educate themselves and not make the same mistake with more customers. If I was the former owner of this vehicle, I would mail these videos to my mechanic and demand explanation.

Do like the videos mate, I keep sensing a bit of Derek off “Vice Grip Garage” when I watch your videos, just something about it

@M539 Restorations Well I’ll be dipped!!! 😂.......I knew it!! I just new you watched him, I can’t lie he does rub off on you, me and my mates all talk like him now

I watch his videos a lot and the guy just rubs off on you 🤣

What is the cheapest V8/V10/V12 car you can get in Europe?

Hey man love the video but you really should not use a vacuum cleaner for the fuel tank that is really dangerous because the petrol is still vaporizing and that will go through your hot vacuum cleaner and if there is sufficient heat it will explode, I am being extremely serious the bag in the vacuum cleaner will collect all of the petrol and create an explosion. I am not saying this to sound like a smart-ass it is really because a mechanic shop burned down in my country when the owners son was doing the same thing as you and it did explode.

@M539 Restorations okay awesome good to hear, I should have not doubted a German when fixing his car hahahah. But anyways have a good week:)

It's a wet shop vac, nothing will happen.

Man so slick with his tools, I have to change the tab when my girlfriend walks in. I can't even fix a toaster 😂

Should you replace 3 year old gasoline or just pour new on top of it?

Find someone to look at you like the Nemo look at those fuel hoses.

Obviously in the previous workshop they didn't wear those lightblue BMW jackets.

l see a bright future on this channel, like a real mulitimilion dollar channel

Three horse power? Haha, Not really. You need an electric toe truck or hand pallet truck.

Ever have your vacuum cleaner catch fire or explode when cleaning a fuel tank?

I heard something a long time ago that's stuck with me all these years through my own car projects: _"Professional_ just means you paid somebody to do it." 5,000€ for backwards fuel filters, bad coils, and the wrong plugs doesn't surprise me at all, unfortunately. The same people who could afford these cars new tend to prefer writing checks to getting their own hands dirty, and there are other people who are happy to take that money and do the absolute bare minimum. In my experience, 95% of the work I have to do on a car I own is _undoing_ what's been done to it before I got my hands on it, including lots of things done by so-called "professional" mechanics, fab shops, tuners, stereo installers, and so on. My current toy car is a "professionally built" 650hp Audi with ~$75k worth of parts and labor dumped into it. Previous owner is a legit millionaire, and he just sprayed this thing with the money hose. All the best parts money could buy. Time, depreciation, and his desire for newer/better/faster cars meant a regular guy like me could afford it (less than the cost of a new A3). It's a monster, but the more I dig (for general maintenance), the more cut corners, shoddy craftsmanship, and lazy cheap incompetent "professional" work I find. This guy was duped by a shop he gave PILES of money to, for years, and he never even knew it! He sang their praises and pushed his friends their way for business. Meanwhile, he was getting fleeced.

43:30 - 🤣🤣🤣 Your films are both educational and satisfying to watch.

Really calm and enjoyable video. Glad to see you gradually restoring this great machine. Subscribed.

When i watch the Videos i feel like 1993 when i start my Education at BMW...I can remember EXACTLY how it feels to climb on a V12 :-)))) But you did something wrong!Your arms are not scratched :-)

The best channel, Sretene sve najbolje!!!

Fair play for turning your passion into a full time work and quitting your job. I am sure you have loads of people who want to buy your projects before you even start. Best of luck!

Am a nurse and 50 ,never touched a tool to repair or fix a car and I have serviced and repaired my E34 540i V8's petrol pump and fully serviced it . All thanks to this genius! Retraced all his steps and it worked!

Hey could be the German cousin of Derek from Vice Grip Garage .

Bara denna kanal som levererar 💯. Kollar och klickar på reklamen. Tack för innehållet.

I would buy a used car from you anytime! :) amazingly great show. I hope you can really live ok of and from this for a long time. ANd you inspired me to check for nice used BMW's here in Norway :) Whats a good year/model or good/best engine in the more reasonable priced BMW ranges? :) (I'll have to economize for a bit but would love to repair one thats not too far gone myself and send you some footage :)

How great it is, your videos are cool and very nice to watch, and you made me discover Daparto and prices and choices are NUTS compared to our local french websites. It gonna be perfect for my 98 Impreza 👌 Thanks a lot.

"We have a festival of oil"

'' thats the hole, ooh yeeah, it is in ''

I am disappointed that this is a common failure on an E39 540i. - In my lifetime, Corvairs, Vegas, Pintos, Chevettes and early Mazda rotaries had "common Failures".

''There's a f*## arrow !!!'' I fell off my bed at this point 😂😂😂...

Superb!

I found it funny how he said "rekindle the spark" when talking about putting something into a tank of gasoline!

21:40 Oh boy, do I know that situation, too. After working on cars and bikes in 30 years, I have finally started to learn the lesson. But I must have gotten a million bruises along the way...

I'm so in love with this car, this is the third time I watch this magnificent piece of work.

I like this dude. Good sense of humour.

18:48 bro what was that sound hahahahaha lmao

I love your videos. My only concern is when you used the vacuum to clean out the gas tank. Yes, the liquid fuel may have already been soaked up, but fumes can still exist in the tank. The vacuum can suck up those fumes, and put them next to an electric motor can can spark. Just don't want to see you go kaboom.

44:14 don't you plan to use some engine flush? It might help this fabulous engine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4u64lKBbhQ

can you get parts shipped to the U.S on departo

Doraž

Really educated content you have.

"using the brain" hahahahaahaaa :D

You so badly need a set of Style 3 (dished) 750iL alloys. No 750 'Oily' is complete without them.

I don`t know construction of this engine, but how is possible to fire up without belt. In most of these cases the engine will be gone due to beat between valves and pistons, may be here is different situation. Or may be there is a chain about sync the shafts and this belt is only for the additional stuff like water pump, AC ect.

I like how you said that everything OEM, even universal brackets from the local hardware store.:) Do not take it personally just a joke, you doing well man. I waiting for video about you, because as I know your name is Sreten, so may be you are from Serbia or Macedonia. I am from Bulgaria and actually we speaking almost the same language, I really like what you doing man. May be one we will see each other in person, who knows.

Hey chief. We from Australia/NZ and I'm a 635 csi fan from way back. They used to race them here in the 80s. JPS team black on gold livery, and they were the shizzle. Don't be frightened to vocal some tasteful German expletives while working on these machines. All cars can be a pain most times. English translations optional...im always down 4 a laugh lol. Much love from down under. Peace.

Well done chief. Thanks for the inspiration and keep on trucking!

FINALLY THEY FOUND NEMO 01:38

HI Sreten, as a fanatic, but amateur mechanic, i follow your videoblogs with great interest, and enjoy working on my classic cars just as much as you do on your babies. I have here an advert for a 'panzer' BMW 12 cylinder, that was owned by the Security Police of Bulgaria. It really is something for you! Very special and can be picked up in Bulgaria (which is not far from your native country i think?) for just € 10.000. Well maintained and you could say: bulletproof... Sorry it's in dutch, but there's always Google translate. https://www.autoblog.nl/nieuws/koop-een-bmw-750il-occasion-die-je-leven-gaat-redden-549721

Hi there, greetings from South Africa, love your content. I just would like to know, my car has been sitting for a year without running, do I need to use fogging oil before trying to crank it or should I be fine without?

Пожалуйста, найди E34 Alpina и восстанови её. Я очень хочу видеть восстановление от твоих рук.

Hello BMW guru. Can you please explain which ignition wires you use? I bought NGK bkr6ek spark plugs but i can't put my BERU wires on it. Spark plug have SAE connection but wires m4. :( At that moment i use zgr5a spark plugs without cups. Thank you for response.

That makes no sense, they work just fine with original Beru wires

113 mad French mechanics hating ;-)

Love your attention to detail. I’m picking up lots of tips for my own car! Can’t wait to see this one done!

Just here for the older cars and sweat pants ♥️

Not that I take pleasure in the outcome of your first start attempt, but it's nice to see someone of your stratosphere caliber makes my kind of a error. Great to see no rust, this will be another excellent project. Another great save.

I miss him throwing the spark plugs in a box and counting them off!

Jesus, the previous mechanic really did a number on this classic. What a dumbass.
