Making a V8 SUV to Stop Smoking - BMW E70 X5 - Project X5: Part 2 

7:41 What tool do you use for the wiper arms? They're always a fight to get off.

Y y

german cars are junk

Me too, I always look out for his new content.... almost like a crack addict😂

Same here. Bloody headache. Iphone 12 mini.

Same. Absolutely!

Yep! Eyes glued to the screen, bottom glued to the sofa, barely breathing and blinking only if absolutely necessary...This says it all on how good is this YT channel...a delight to watch!

Me too bro always the happiness is always here

The video quality and editing were always top notch. I've watched and rewatched all of Sreten's videos several times and literally all of them are pure quality content.

Indeed!

He changed cameras, a while back.

They were always great.

Best channel on RU-vid!

Check out Mighty Car mods!

*Sreten

Obviously that's very subjective lol, he's entertaining I must admit.. Depends what you're into though, whether it's just parts fitting, fitting stock parts to stock cars or fabrication, modification, or just pure entertainment or restoration, there's plenty out there though.

Another good but a little different channel is Greasy Fingers, restores Porsches and others, does metal fab etc…very detailed.

@@L4ftyOne thks i will!

one improvement is to see the finished product under heavy WOT applications

rigtigt bror

bad valve stem seals in volvo 5 cylinders are a common thing

@@mohis5664 that’s probably why he did many a job on them😊

Which era of the 5 cylinders? I thought they were pretty solid motors.

@@_chipchip N engines probably

Never had bad stem seals had 4 p2, p1 Volvos more like pcv and turbo line's

What a shame BMW uses cheap parts for a popular brand they sell

Thats because any other shop would charge €4,000 for that level of work 😂.

@@thewatchersofthewood3530 Really? You talking about Germany prices, right?

@@cristeavlad969 This job is rated at 30-35 hours, so 4k seems a bit exaggerated

@@agen1man Thanks for the info!

@@agen1man at 100 per hour shop rate for a BMW dealer, after taxes and fluids you'd be looking at 4k.

Right. I think legit street cars has gone downhill recently. Sreten has found a niche and he's killing it.

@@matmul4850 EXACTLY. I used to be smarter and entertained after one of his videos. Now it’s a repeat of not funny jokes and erratic yelling

There are only about 8(?) auto channels on all of YT I'm subscribed to for this very reason. Most of the content on YT, the "automotive passion" begins and ends with attempting to generate clicks, and it shows. I don't care about watching some millionaire flex his 2023 special edition exotic whatever that he'll drive twice (for content!) and flip in 9 months. I don't care about some random car's "first wash in 37 years!!!" and I don't care about some idiot trying to limp a piece of junk 5,000 miles home. The minute someone tells me to "smash that like button," I'm out. On the other hand, I will support channels like M539, 19Bozzy92, Restore It, RRC Restoration, Noriyaro, Tyrrell's Classic Workshop, etc. as much as I can because the content is based on legitimate passion, each video is meaningful, and the subject matter is educational/enlightening/legitimately interesting. No hype, no BS, no fake drama, no filler, no clickbait.

@@daedalus_20v Soo true, Dedalus, so true.

Salvage Rebuilds UK also does a really good job in execution and explaining! Right from their very first videos. And not to forget Bad obsession Motorsport's Project Binky which is just beyond everything!

Just take your time and use proper tools. It might take a while, but it's not rocket science after all. Maybe you can find a service manual online also.

Thank you!

Reckon at this stage he could rock up as a BMW Certified ...Master Mechanic...

@@malachy1847 nope this is a hobby not real world

@@bystander1489 fixing an engine is fixing an engine. Its literally same thing

@@nemanjap8768 nope so when fist engine blew up who pays for that certainly not the customer and taking weeks to do jobs is not what happens in real garages you would have 1 day to assemble that engine and another day to have the car running not 2 weeks so it's not yhe same

@@bystander1489 yes it is

Yea I think that's what sets him apart from other automotive channels, his attention to detail is amazing, almost OCD levels. I love it.

Exactly what what I did when I found his channel late in 2020. "okay one more, it's not that late...it's not that late" (uses t.v. remote to stir coffee)

I love when he say : if sleeves not going to get out easy or the crankshaft is rotating when the engine should be blocked: don't worry stop everything and start panic.. !

Check the shoulder on the freeway - J/K

Tell me about it lol. My n63 550 smokes occasionally

As a fellow N63 owner I recommend, getting 2 bottles of “Liqui Moly Motor Oil Saver”. I tried to put the link, but it deleted my comment…so just get it from Amazon or eBay. Should be 2 for $20-$25 Mine use to occasionally smoke also, until I used that. It rejuvenates the valve stem seals & any other rubber in the engine. $25 versus $3k for the valve stem seal job lol You’re welcome guys 🙂

BMW engineers have perfected engine complexity.

@@Leonardo555ZZZ Every engine from the last 5-10 years is really complicated, as more parts for better fuel economy, performance and exhaust gas cleaning are added

@@emrefifty5281 Sure , but these cars are 15 years old , and I doubt you can find any other makes which are more complicated and require more components to be removed in order to perform repairs and maintenance than BMW's.

@@Leonardo555ZZZ I mean, the other german manufacturers’ engines probably had very complex engines too at that time, luxury cars always have many sensors and electronics in there.

@@BorisG13 Yeah , could well be ,,I don't know too much about Audi , VW ,, but Mercedes engines from the same time seem to be much easier to work on than BMW in my opinion.
