Forgotten For 16 Years - V12 BMW E31 850i Revival - Project Malaga: Part 1 

i really hope this channel goes really big and you save all E31s in europe eventually.

i dont care how slowly you make videos they are all literally the best.

I love how the first thing u do is take out that fake m badge 😂😂😂 #Respect

An IT engineer with a true passion for cars. Just like me! Grüße aus Italien!

Is this area nice? Today, No. 😂😂 EPIC

Of all of the classic car restoration channels on RU-vid I've seen, Yours is the best. I like your understated style and professional approach to a project without any drama; just straightforward analysis and then resolution of the problem. Very well done.

You my friend are definetly out of your bloody mind taking into account how many BMW's you own, and I can't lie, I WISH I had them all. Love your content.

WHAT! "Hobby, this is a hobby." You are as good as any mechanic I've ever seen.

Oooohhh!!! Im from Malaga!!! If would know that you were coming, I would have help you with the spanish!!

i bingewatched a bunch of your vids, and you have given me the spark to fix minor problems with my own cars, thank you !

Man, the way he describes the interior is like, exactly how my first bmw grabbed me.

who else is binge watching M539 restorations videos in 2021 during lockdown 3.0 ???

No apologies required for the frequency of your videos. Quality over quantity for me every time and this latest vid does not disappoint. Great to see another E31 saved, they are fantastic motors. In the UK there are very few, most E31’s I come by are 840’s. No bad thing but nothing beats that 5litre V12. Hope you have an easy, straightforward job on this one and look forward to the next upload.

Love your content and story telling style. Take your time, I'll wait as long as it takes you to make the next episode.

I don't own a BMW but I enjoy watching your videos. Cheers and let's see some more.

To me, it's the most beautiful BMW of all time.

4:50 "I don't know why I did that" had me dead hahaha

Great work! Keep saving these magnificent cars you're a hero. You've got a ton of work here but a v12 with a manual gearbox it'll be so worth it. Can't wait for parts 2,3 and 4 👍👍👍

Spain, from what i can see is stunning..architecture sublime...clean and appealing..i am envious...

My boss had one of those about 1994 in Munich. I drove with him together many times in that car and it was a real joy. Enjoy the ride! (and yes, I noticed this video is already 3 years old)

This makes me want to go hunt for old german cars.

“First things first...” Love it!!

man, i wish i had the mechanical car knowledge that this guy has. would open up a whole world of possibilities when purchasing cars.

Greetings, I'm a new subscriber, found the videos about the black E31 from Malaga and watched them thru. I once owned and drove a 1998 750iL which I adored. The intake manifold started leaking and my mechanic quoted me $3000 to fix it but couldn't promise it would smog after the work. So, sadly, I had to let it go. Really miss the smooth torque and silent power of that car! Thanks for saving the BMW V12s!

Awesome content as always! Your sense of humor is appreciated.

I'm from the UK I know of an abandoned 840 in Spain for many years

thank you for rescuing these beautiful machines, i don't understand how people can let them go like this.

I like the idea of you taking those M badges off as a first thing ! Tells a lot about you. If theres something thats not belong on the car originaly,hurts my eyes too.So well DONE!

Love the new purchase. IT here too...cloud architect. Love my German cars!

Just found this part 1, great videos and loved the "Malaga music" excellent, I nearly bought a used 840 many years ago but people and a few mechanics were concerned about cost of running etc so settled eventually for a beautiful 628CSi, that eventually gave a few corrosion problems so swapped for a 325iSE that I still have after over 20 years, a loyal and great drive, and love to bits still.

Nice find!! I CANNOT WAIT to watch you bring this beauty back to its original glory. Love your content my friend, keep it up! 💪🏼👍🏼🤟🏼😍

This top gear/grand tour style intros are very good.

YES! A new video!!!!!! (looks like Spain is the home of several neglected BMW's.....)

Sretene, Sretene znao sam da si neki naš, samo nisam bio siguran 😀

My dad had an '86 635csi fun, fun car. Wish I still had it. Great videos! Keep 'em coming.

Ohhhh Du hast schöne Auto in meine Heimat gekauft. Du hast Lotto gewonnen! Congratulations 🎊

I love the fact that the first thing you did with the car is removing the fake M badges! :) Always a pleasure to watch your videos!

I really love these detective stories. Nice job saving it. My first and only BMW was a 2002. I think Picasso owned it...

Stunning effort to save this original piece of motoring history!! Wish they would be more guys like yourself about! I am also fighting for the survival of my E34 540i, great cars, build to last!!

Any description that expresses maximum admiration, goes for you! You are the perfect example i really whant to follow. The best of luck in your hobby!

I like the intro 😂😂 i'm excited about this one. Can't wait for part two 👍👍

Amazing find! The 8 series was always my favorite!

You are keen!!!!!! Dude👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

2300 km ,,,,,and she is back home ,,,,what a beautiful story.....lovely vlog ,,,like it

All the way from Brazil and absolutely love this travel/buying vlogs. Keep up the great work and I'm waiting anxiously for the next episode!

I'm not sure how I found your channel but I'm happy I did. Great content and excited to watch it grow. I love Mercedes and you made me fall in love with the Bimmers

I had wach your other videos about this car. Never in my life been able to afford such a beauty, may not be soon too.. Even this days technology, modern cars still somehow not as attractive as this master piece. So since my childhood is my only car that undoubtedly being in love. I would like to thank you for your efforts, those videos are lovely to wach, your work skills are precise, and nice to see you know what you are doing. All the best.

I do follow your channel. E31 and E24 are the best BMWs ever designed. All the best.

A great find and a great backstory! Thanks for this trip along with you, love it! I already know you will be a great new owner of this very rare car and get it to original. Please, more updates and great videos, this one was especially entertaining and informative! :)

I love these videos! Greetings from San Diego, California.

9:55 I love that wheel, the tyres thiccness is perfect! Like a W140 Merc.

It is genuinly amazing that it was bought new right there in Frankfurt

"This is my hobby" more like "This is my sickness." :)

From Australia: great job on all your videos👌

Don't worry about being slow with the video release brother. It's the quality of your work that will attract people, not the quantity. Brilliant stuff.

Super videos 👍 👍 👍 Thanks. BMW FOREVER

Love your channel bro. Respect from New Zealand!

I love it!!! ♥️ great job

Svaka ti čast Sretene , najbolji bmw ikad napravljen . I danas žalim što sam ga prodao pre 18 godina. Pozdrav 👍

haha the good old oil cap sniff test. Awesome video.

This is my favorite channel now ❤️

Bring her back to life! Waiting :)

i came here from recommended videos this guy seems like a great mechanic but when he talked so passionately about the smell of rich Corinthian leather and how he loved it this man stole my heart subbed * ty for the vids sir

'Come on you B@$+@rd'...... brilliant : love your work, with you and Marco Reps, the skill and passion is off the charts!

Cant wait to watch it. 😎

As an American the thing that really caught my eye was the 5th gen camaro sitting outside of your shop. It must be a rare sight in Germany, is that your car? Hahaha

Great video!👍Love the E31! Had a tobagoblue -93 850csi with black/blue interior and 18" bbs wheels 20years ago.... beautiful car! 👌

Love your format. Simple and to the point

Damm, that's literally 20 minutes from where I live. Would've love to guide yo around and help you translate! On the other hand, startign to hate you a bit for 'stealing' all our local e31's! But at least it its going on very good hands.

Cool dude!!, what a nice car, you have a good salary, this things are very expensive, and tooo much expensive for maintain and restore .

Ich finds so cool, dass du dich so mit wirklichen Ikonen auseinandersetzt und vielen von uns so einen detaillierten Einblick ermöglichst! Weiter so!

IT here too. I miss working on cars and somehow I ended up on your channel and watching all your lovely videos on Sunday morning... keep making more videos. And I always wanted to own one of those v12. Maybe I'll buy one from you.

love your videos my man. just for info, how much is a fully restored e31? ballpark me. id love to have one one day.

Ahh now it makes sense, quite clearly Picasso did the repair himself while in his postmodernist phase.

This looks exactly like the 850i I had, but in a better shape and with a honest seller!

RU-vid recommendations give me obscure suggestions many times, but your video popping up in my feed are one of the times when the algorithm gets it right. I love cars, but I don't have the resources or the technical know-how, so watching videos of folks like you is really enjoyable as it is educational for me. Cheers from the Philippines, mate.

God I need a manual e31 in my life

4:37 IT Engineering that speaks , Spanish, English and German?

I love these cars, I had an 840 1996 Boston green. I loved the features like pop up lights, auto closing windows at 100mph.

Great video man. Remembering that half of the fun is not the chase. Cheers.

it's not uncommon for people to keep their old cars that may or may not run until they die. their survivors have no such attachment and simply want to, understandably, turn them into cash. i suspect that when i go i'll have more than a few items of absolutely no interest to those who will inherit my belongings too. it's comforting to know that there may be a second chance for them. such items are often offered at reasonable prices that the original owner would never consider, even though the item may ostensibly be for sale. will be following the journey with this one. good luck. BTW, are you planning to corner the market on these v12s with manual and then charge exorbitant prices for them to line your pockets with the millions they will bring, or is this just for fun? .... never mind, i think i know the answer. :)

Meeting nice people always adds value to a car. And this is the part that really touches me the most, even when the price/value ratio is not the best... but you got everything with this one!

Thanks for rescuing another great 8. I'll be following...

Since I've watched all videos of this channel and started watching once again it's so satisfying to see how Sreten is getting loose gradually with his humor by every episode! Love it :D

From the States--Keep the videos coming. I especially enjoy your tours of Spain. It seems all the cities you visit are beautiful. Don't get me wrong, I am an old gear head and also enjoy watching the old bimmers being brougt back to life.

Congratulations... excellent job.... regards from Athens Greece.!!!

Your channel has became my inspiration!

Man, i wish i could download all your knowledge and skill to my brain (I’m IT as well) so i could work on my car. Great videos i can’t stop watching all of them!

Big shout out from Zimbabwe. I'm an economist but have taken up mechanics as a hobby. I mostly work on bikes although I try to get my hands on anything. I'm learning a lot here. Keep up the good work!

Y matrícula de Madrid!! TREMENDO!!! Cojo sitio!! ;)

im not a car guy and really don't fix them. but i am glued to this channel. the content is excellent and the way its delivered is superb. keep up the great work!

There are some cars that deserve saving because of profit. There are some cars that deserve saving because of rarity. And there are some cars that deserve saving because you just have to do it :) Strong nerves and good luck, I am with you! :)

I like this type of video: Car related with a touch of travel. Another 8 series: I surely do not complain. One of the all-time great...

You like my country, Spain, i hope that you come back soon!!

Tow truck on Polish plates ;) Thanks to rescue this beautiful cars. My fav BMW.

That car is bringing back memories my dad had one of the guys actually loved it would love another one

Love all your videos. Thnx. Chris

Im from Malaga, glad to see you arround enyoing!

Great prelude to Part 2.

Another great purchase to rescue a great car, I recently got back from visiting Paisley Park in Minnesota and saw the late Prince BMW E31 a beauty this car is.
