@ernestjones5113 2 года назад

There are other ways nails can get into an engine. In a large service garage, besides mechanical repairs, oil changes and tire repair are also done. Tire repair guy pulls a nail from a flat tire, throws nail at garbage can, nail bounces off side of garbage can and lands directly in the 6 quart container used to carry oil from the bulk oil to the car. Oil change guy grabs container, fills with oil, pours oil into funnel in the car, nail is now inside the valve cover. Yeah, that happened but was caught before damage was done because their hand was on the funnel and felt something jiggle down the neck. I pulled a 2 inch nail out of that low mile, almost new truck before it was ever started.

I have no words for you. The amount of work and time you put on fixing BMWs and putting videos for us to watch and admire your work is amazing. Keep it up brother ❤️

@Strike86 2 года назад

Honestly one look at that engine bay and I would've noped backwards through the wall. I admire your balls and your patience Sreten, this modern hyper-complex stuff ain't easy. That nail had to have been intentional, maybe a disgruntled worker. Maybe Antonio knows something about it?

Another M539 Restoration video flashes by. What a monumental task - the way Alpina have managed to stuff that engine bay is almost beyond belief, it must have taken an unfathomable amount of time and effort. I have everything crossed that the rebuild goes to plan - haven't looked forward to a video as much as the next instalment of Project Chicago in a long time.

Take a bow, you are a master mechanic, undeterred by problems, which would cause most people to throw the towel in.

Here I am, have a test in Biology on Tuesday and instead of learning Biology I‘m watching what‘s basically a teardown of a Alpina B7 engine. This has nothing to do with Biology but I love it and can‘t wait for another episode.

If you find a nail in the engine, you've been screwed.

If any engine design deserved the epithet of "Byzantine", this is it. My God, what a hypercomplicated lump. Well done getting it apart with only basic levels of profanity and violence.

@D3nn1s 2 года назад

You know what would be a pretty cool video? Behind the scenes how you manage all the screws and parts for such a complex engine bay/entire car. do you bag them? Maybe also include shop maintenance, how you keep your shop clean and everything at its place etc. :)

@D3nn1s 2 года назад

Aaand 15min later you say you keep them in the holes, same with cardboard for oilpan. I ponder how you do that for e.g. the hood or other panels where you cant just leave them in or theres more than one type of bolt.

@hawkertyphoon4537 2 года назад

Omg. The Bay is so full of engine, its absolutely cramped in there. Compare that to your older Models. And you still have the courage to dive in there and take it all apart. I thought you worked in IT Databases or something. This is Mindboggling! Well done!

@luisbalderrama8145 2 года назад

This was an insane video. I don't know how you can keep track of everything you did, but I am so very impressed with your knowledge here, as well as your patience. Its obvious this is a labor of love, because I would have thrown in the towel WAY sooner. Keep up the amazing content Dude! -Luis

That’s an incredibly complex car, I’m in awe of your confidence and skills. Hard to believe that after 150 years of the development of internal combustion to this point, and engines such as this one in particular, it’s all going to stop in favour of batteries.

@wombat585 2 года назад

Dear Sreten! Your channel is an absolute holy grail of finest automobile content, something that gives me enormous pleasure watching and there is NO other youtube channel out there that excites me so much! I've never had any mechanic experience in my life except for building stuff from LEGO as a child and I feel what you're doing is far from being easy, however your persistence and analytical approach towards car restoration proves that everything is possible if you really desire! I'm seriously considering renting a garage and purchasing an old car (preferably W124 Merc) and spending long evenings in the garage gradually bringing the car to its finest original condition! Your channel makes me feel confident something might work out for real! Great thank you and keep up the good work!

@ecksthree6598 2 года назад

I have been working on cars for nearly ten years and have a classic collection similar to yours. Never, ever have I worked on an engine like this, this has just reaffirmed why I never buy newer cars! It almost reminded me of when I first started learning how a car works with Mighty Cars Mods tutorials. I would be intimidated taking that on, I'll stick to an engine swapped E21 thanks!

@johnnycheng1 2 года назад

With my 850Si, just changing plugs and checking the V12 ignition system according to the workshop manual was scary. Even removing the driver's seat and fixing the seat back lumbar pump made me dizzy trying to put it all back together. Seeing your work on this Alpina modified V8 OMG - Sreten you are absolutely amazing - great work. 🤩

Hello Streten, those videos are absolutely incredible, the amount of work you put in and shear knowledge you have is mesmerizing. It feels like 5min. I'm not a mechanic, nor am I ever gonna do anything similar on a tiny level, I just really really enjoy watching a master at work. Keep it up :)
