Thanks! Also fun to watch! (especially important since I'm running out of Sreten's videos

)

Part 15 of Project Marseille, E31 850i is now available

Jbrown7403 · 05-11-2025, 01:41 PM

Nice episode! Glad he’s sticking with Alpina wheels but going to 18”. 👍🏁

Mani59 · 05-19-2025, 11:01 AM

The E70 X5 update video.

Chihuahua · 06-03-2025, 02:45 PM

Just as an FYI, EMS Garage posted a new video this week - E60 M5 is in the stable. It's becoming one of my favorite BMW related channels, I watch it and of course M539.

Mani59 · 06-08-2025, 12:57 PM

The next E70 X5 video.

We’re left with the puzzle now - what is leaking?!

Main seal? Looks like that’s the only part Sreten hasn’t touched yet

I had to laugh when I watched Tavarish buy a rough E30 and he FaceTimed with Sreten about the investment needed to save the S15 engine. He was at a tropical location, perhaps on a vacation or picking up another project.

Does anyone know what anti-corrosion he uses on his cars? I can't find the videos where he used it but I know one was a spray (I believe it was ACF-50) and I'm trying to find the other versions he used.

1 of 43 made E39 Alpina B10 V8S in the Touring variant. This one, however, has been decommissioned for 9 years and has racked up 192k miles (309k km). It's neglected and beautiful. Time to get what is the fastest production 5-series of its day back on the road!

Sreten pops in now and again so he might see this and be able to help you.

He uses xcp rust blocker on aluminium parts. I think there was some (liqui moly) cable grease or something he used for a while under the car, but can't quite remember

HairTooLongToo · 06-22-2025, 10:00 PM

Dinitrol is one of them.

An update on the Maserati:

Normally I'd say push it into the river, but the river might spit it back out. Probably best to just burn it.

Don't think it was that useless. We got an update on all the projects! As much as everyone hates the Maserati, I think it is good that Sreten is trying new things.

Tambohamilton · 07-10-2025, 05:21 AM

Thought the Miserati debacle was pretty weird; he just ripped on it the whole time pretty much from day 1. Did he do it just to try and make BMW look better? I'm confused that he'll switch to an entirely different brand before getting into a diesel BMW, for example. Anyhow, just my unsolicited $0.02.

Mani59 · 07-16-2025, 01:48 PM

The next episode on the E70 X5 series.

M-technik-3 · 07-16-2025, 05:32 PM

Sounds awesome almost wants me to sell the X3 for an X5 but....my wife would be bumping into things because it so wide.
