In this episode, we are working on my favorite car, the E39 M5. We start off with an oil change, but find a leak from the oil pan and along the way a few more things. We are replacing the oil pan gasket, water pump, thermostat, valve covers, fuel pump, trunk badge and installing monoballs in the thrust control arms. Followed up by driving on the Autobahn and hitting some lovely German countryside roads.

Sreten is one of the last automotive RU-vidrs that doesn’t fill the videos up with ads and doesn’t stand around talking and not take 50 videos to finish a small project major props to Sreten keep up the good work much support!

Eggzackerly right Jan - greetings from 🇿🇦 - this dude kept me sane during Covid and basically taught me an online course for old school - pre computer E60 series BMW maintenance - for free 😜😈 And - most importantly he taught us that anyone can learn this stuff, to understand our cars better and drive with confidence 👏👏 - give that man a Bells or a cold 🍺 Am currently looking for a cheaper version of this car with the 3.0 straight six = an E39 530 or May be even a solid 540i if I can find a decent one And I don’t care about the fuel consumption - I just love to drive - listening to Ahmed kilic party music or trance music (at 63 years old !! ) One Life = Live it !! And while the greenies go EV - do they can by tracked and monitored etc - we’ll stay old school and drive like every caveman was designed to = we still got 100% male DNA Now where am I going to install that hoist ?? 🤔

@johnpearson492 2 года назад

I had an e39 M5. It was a phenomenal car, LeMans Blue over Caramel extended leather. Mighty expensive to use a daily driver and keep to a relatively perfect level on maintenance. I eventually decided to replace mine with an e36 M3, with a Mini in between. The e36 is the far more affordable and reliable car. It's also a lot more raw and fun to daily, but not nearly as comfortable or fast in a straight line.

@yamman93 2 года назад

I put turner monoball front control arm bushings on my E46 and I had a very similar experience in regards to the steering. They really transformed the car and it even made the braking feel rock solid. The only downside is that I went through two different sets in less than 30k KM. They would clunk and rattle and simply were not worth the trouble. They also have to be greased periodically. I also recently put redline D4 ATF in my manual transmission and it’s the best fluid I have ever put into this car so atf seems to work in many different applications. Great video!

@mustafahaseb1698 2 года назад

For those of you having trouble with shifting while cold, try blipping the throttle up few hundred rpms while pulling lever into the gear. It helps lining up synchromesh in the transmission and it will shift easier. I had few manual Bmw's and second gear was always problem when cold. Talking about real cold, up to -35C and this trick worked. Always used only Bmw MTF.
