Does anyone watch M539 Restorations?

That's a great car as a daily!
But not so much as a content generator I think I was hopping he would get something with N54 or N63 instead

I wonder what the plans are for his red Z4M that he picked up in my neck of the woods? I saw where he did some work on it in I believe North Carolina, and it seemed to be in great shape, but haven't heard anything about it since. I thought he was going to bring it home.

The Z4M is in his Dojo 2.0 shop already. It popped up there on some of his latest videos (I think it's in the previous video).

I also can't wait to watch videos dedicated to that car

Like how he mentioned an E91 but sadly squished that thought with it's too small.

Looking forward to the E60 content, best 5er to date in my opinion. Miss mine every day.

More 850CSi:

sreten trying to figure out and fix that stupid hydraulic module is what i love about his channel and videos most.

I just recently discovered his channel and have been binge watching them all over the last few weeks.

I've started doing maintenance on my own cars this year (2x BMW and an Audi) and plan on picking up a project car (E46 M3 or E39 M5). Just started taking some auto tech classes at a local community college for fun. It's truly inspiring to see how much knowledge and skill he has as a self taught individual. My teenager kids want me to start my own YouTube channel. ROFL. Maybe.

Welcome to the rabbit hole! His channel is dangerously bingeable, isn't it? What makes it so good is that he actually explains the "why" behind everything, not just the "how" - you come away genuinely understanding the car.

Huge respect for jumping into DIY maintenance and signing up for the auto tech classes. That combo will pay off fast, especially once you've got a project car in the garage. Both the E46 M3 and E39 M5 are fantastic choices - you really can't go wrong. The E39 M5 is such a special car to live with, but the E46 M3 might be a touch friendlier as a first proper project (parts, community support, etc.). Whichever way you go, buy the best example you can afford and budget for the deferred maintenance up front.

And hey, listen to your kids - start the channel! Even if it's just documenting the project car build, you'll look back and be glad you did. Good luck with it all!

Which is why enthusiasts love his channel, his degree of thoroughness, attention to detail and sense of humor brings us back to watch his videos.

Don't forget an extraordinary doze of masochism, disassembling, fabricating and rebuilding NLA parts from 30+ year old cars.

Frequently applied to fragile over-engineered contraptions that that should never have been built in the first place (e.g. rear-steering E31 AHK system).

I was bored and went down the rabbit hole of his Alpina B7, it was funny, frustrating and I look forward to the last episode where he finishes it and sends it to another home. Yes, the rear steering E31 makes me scratch my head but I'm sure that he'll solve that problem as he usually does and then drives it on the Autobahn,

Behind the scenes of the first trip to the US to work on project Louisville, Santorini blue 850CSi. We drive a very special E36, an E63 M6, and we get a complete tour of BimmerWorld H1.

There is a guy on YouTube and I cannot seem to find his videos anymore. He did improvements/mods on his BMW and work for other people. Very nice small garage and his dog is always there helping him. He is somewhere in Eastern Europe. Maybe near Croatia or Serbia. His work is incredible.

Does anyone know who I am talking about?

777 Garage? I don't know that he's uploaded much recently but I used to watch that channel. I'm subscribed to EMS Garage as well, it's a good channel also.

The only other person I can think of on YouTube is M Ovidiu.

Ed from the 777 Garage is a top guy and I loved his videos too!

I used to send my E38 to him for work; he would always go above and beyond and super knowledgeable. He had a lovely collection too!

Sreten's friend / the guy who's visited a time or two to do some welding has his own channel as well:

Thanks. This Ovi guy looks good but he is not the guy. This other guy was in Slovenia or Slovakia or Croatia. Maybe even Montenegro. Fantastic videos, nice personal garage, immaculate work and his dog is always helping.

No. I thought it might be Taboo but he is in Kazakstan. His garage is rougher and he has basic tools to work with but does nice work.

This guy was somewhere in a northern Balkans area country like Slovenia, Slovakia area. Immaculate work, his dog was there. It was low key almost like zen like work. I checked my saved youtube people but no luck.

I like the EMS Garage channel, he loves BMW and does good work. His editing is getting better but Sreten and Mat Armstrong are the gold standard for me.

I'm a good friend of Sreten and I've known him well over 10 years.
The Sreten in front and behind camera is the same guy: Great human being and loyal friend.
I've had rare pleasure to drive few of his special beasts and the E63 M6 he drove in US while visittng BW is mine.

Next one with the 850 CSi is up, being worked on a BimmerWorld

that come out today? epic amount of repair on that car. watched the 1st two episodes. he is a BMW savant.
