Does anyone watch M539 Restorations?

Mani59 · 01-01-2022, 07:30 AM

I've been watching the amazing work that Sreten at M539 Restorations has done over the last 2-3 years and I was just wondering if anyone else watches his video too?

I am always watching out for a notification of when he posts a new video

He has an amazing talent and an awesome collection of various BMWs. The guy has 2 E39 M5's

https://www.youtube.com/c/M539Restorations/featured

Shame what happened to his awesome E30 but I am sure he will put it right soon.

shiftdnb · 01-03-2022, 02:32 AM

Love the E46 Touring build!

Mani59 · 01-03-2022, 04:05 AM

His E46 Touring build is great!

I am looking forward to the next installment of his USA sourced E65/6 Alpina B7.

MalibuM3 · 01-04-2022, 07:53 AM

Always entertaining. Remarkable restorations. A shame what has happened to his E30. Hopefully we will see the rebuilt of the E30 in the future. The 528i E39 touring he got from a friend is just crap.

BandWagon · 01-12-2022, 05:25 PM

I love this guy!

When I broke both my hands and shoulder, I just watched all of his videos while I couldnt work on my own car!

I Hope he can get that alpina sorted out. I love those cars only if they were not ticking time bombs.

Great channel. Well done by him.

Onizukachan · 01-13-2022, 11:41 PM

Yep, watch him too. Very worthwhile…. Coming up…

swagon · 01-14-2022, 03:39 AM

He's a great lad; randomly found his first E38 video before his channel was a thing!

Mani59 · 01-14-2022, 11:14 AM

His latest video was released a couple of days ago.

Glad to see the E21 up and running well.
And now he announces he has 3 E39 M5's!

maxxsp · 01-20-2022, 01:49 PM

Great channel and one that I watch regularly

Mani59 · 01-23-2022, 08:57 AM

Epic 1 hour update on his lovely USA sourced E60 M5

G03RT2 · 02-11-2022, 06:09 PM

I watch it regularly. I think it's the German sense of humor with attention to technical detail that I enjoy about it so much.

M-technik-3 · 02-12-2022, 06:31 PM

I had not till I saw this post, but have watched the E30 one. One of my favorite colors and shame to see what happened. That car needed rear discs as the drums were horrible, I had a a 320i initially when I was stationed at Bitburg and I hated it, the mileage was worse than the 4 and the 2.5L They were dog slow too. But damn that was a super clean car to start with.

Mani59 · 02-13-2022, 04:30 PM

Part 7 of Project Karlsruhe (the E32 750iL) is up.

///MPhatic · 02-13-2022, 05:40 PM

I can't get past that AquaBlast machine he has. It's the stuff of dreams.

It's calming to watch it do its thing.

He's so meticulous about cleaning everything, no matter if it's going back where nobody will see it again until the next time it's serviced. I totally get it: "But I will know."

GregP · 02-14-2022, 07:12 PM

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m watching the M5 V10 resto. I had always thought it would be fun to pick one of these up as a toy and go through it but seeing this series has scared me straight. LOL

Jbrown7403 · 02-14-2022, 08:42 PM

M539 is great! The before and after shots from the AquaBlast (sp?) machine are awesome! Love his channel and the progress on his E60 M5. He makes engine rebuilds look sooooo damn easy and he’s so calm (my blood pressure skyrockets anytime I do anything mechanical to my car

spammysammich · 02-17-2022, 11:51 PM

That Aquablast footage is so satisfying.

Jbrown7403 · 02-18-2022, 12:22 AM

Agreed! Great episode today! The before and after of the manifolds is incredible!

Mani59 · 02-18-2022, 04:25 PM

It's been said before already but that aqua blasting machine is fantastic!

He really is of the few car guys worth following on YouTube.
