I felt the same way like you did, when I received my fully detailed carbon black e39 530i like 5 years ago, it was scary to drive 😄This Alpina B7 probably is the most valuable Alpina B7 in the world right now. The final outcome of this project just blown all expectations

I just finished watching the entire series, and wow what a massive effort from yourself and everyone who took a part in restoring this troublesome but brilliant car. It truly is more than the sum of just its parts, it's a showcase of the collaboration and determination that you and everyone else displayed. Well done for a great result, and well done for having what I think is the best channel on KZread. Most importantly though, none of this could have been achieved without your excellent camera man, and the cricket under the workbench.

I listened your interview in BMW Classic and you said that you were going to sell this car... But man... You have too keep it for life😢 What a car, what a project, what a man you are. Thank you for all this videos.

From being Winnie the turd to becoming the nicest car you own. We all remember the grief you had with this car, especially breaking down on the side of the road. Massive turn around. Your perseverance with this project has resulted in possibly the best B7 in existence.

As much as I admire the work done in this video, I would use the opportunity to give kudos to Arthur and his team that did a phenomenal job with painting this trud! Well done everyone! Stunning results!

The work you have done to this car exceeded my expectations. You have dedication, i hope things just get better for you and your channel grows more.

Having such spotless paint is both a blessing and a curse. This car is now officially too nice to drive :D Bravo, Gyeon, that was a detailing master class!

Wow even after all the mechanical struggles those detail results made me want an Alpina B7! Crazy transformation

I think you are the only person who I would trust 100% to work on my car. I also have an e65 and started posting videos about it :)

The guys from Poland really set this car up to sparkle beautifully in the sunshine thanks to Gyeon. I think Sreton will need a whole day to drool over it when the window trim and badges go back on! Can't wait for his other projects to benefit from his newly-learned techniques.

The man Yves is an expert and a joy to watch. Sreten, after meeting him and learning from him, you better not have a dirty car again 😂

I came here to be entertained while I eat my lunch, but got a master class on detailing instead 4:00 I took out a notepad. It's not the how, it's the tips based in experience like only do 2 wheels at once. His work with the rotary is beautiful!

Wise words to let the products (and the tools) do the job instead of you doing the job. Simple but effective. Impressive result, great job!

When a pro meets a pro. Mutual respect there. WOW. And so generous too. You can't sell that now, Sreten. What a journey.

There are no words! How do you describe that? Yves is an artist of the highest order. I am staggered with how incredible Chicago looks. Where is the missing % for that not to be 100%. I thought Ammo NYC was the best detailer (that I've seen), but the Gyeon team have taken top spot. Mind blown!

Nothing short of a display of mastery. The biggest compliment I can give here is that it makes me believe I can do it. It’s made to look that easily. Of course, I’ll have a go and it’ll look like I’ve polished it with a garden rake but the belief is there

No one does cars better than you Sreten. You wont stop until perfection. Love the videos

As someone who watched hundreds of detailling videos, this by far one of the best one if not the best. The sheer amont of work, knowledge and expertise of these guys is INSANE, amazing video !

Yves is to detailing what Streten is to wrenching, epic workmanship by two masters.

As an enthusiast and hobby detailer; Bravo! This is "A"-level work. This car is immaculate. Congrats Sreten, and don't forget to enjoy it! :)

So cool to see, and awesome to see Stef here, who polished and Gyeonized my E93 M3 a couple of years ago. Awesome skills these guys have and you’ll enjoy it for years!

I started watching Mat Armstrong but this Channel is so much better. Better humour and you can learn something about fixing cars. I love this channel!

This was absolutely staggering. Love watching the channel grow, I'll make sure Geyon gets my money when I get around to ceramic coating my fleet.

You must be really proud of your work and hard efforts on this one Sreten! Well done!

I'm an amateur detailer and I love finding new ways to detail a car. Sometimes it's easy to think _"there's one way to do it,"_ but there are different techniques and this is a great learning video!

Thank you so much Sreten for documenting this master class, the results are out of this world! Fantastic job from the guys at Gyeon and what a joy it has been to watch! 💯

I started, didn't look at the clock, didn't realize that this vod is 1h, was totally amazed at the end. Shocked that it was over so quickly. WHAT A NICE JOB. Awesome. Did i say, amazing ? OMG!

I'm in awe at the end result, really. I don't know how financially feasible it will be with all the other project cars that you have, but the combination of these two professional companies for paint and detailing sure looks like a winning combination. I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but I'd love to see what they can do with Project Marseille, for example.

It doesn't even matter if you're a "car guy" or not. Watching these guys do their work so meticulously and with such deep understanding of the process and techniques must be a pleasure for anyone. It's obvious it's not about money or growing a business for them. This is the type of person I strive to be. Sreten, thank you for capturing this experience.

if there ever is a "kid in a candyshop" vibe for a car guy, it's when you where walking through the warehouse and Yves was putting all kinds of detailing equipment to the bag :D. made me jealous and happy at the same time :D

Goddamn, what an incredible transformation. You knocked it out of the park with this one, Sreten. Artur and Dawid did an amazing job on the pain and Yves did an incredible job bringing it back to better-than-showroom quality. Truly amazing watching Sreten absorbing all that knowledgre from Yves, he’s like a sponge. 🥰🥰

Hat off to both Gyeon and you Sreten for a fantastic job all around. By far my favorite series of your channel so far. The good and the bad all came together to create a fantastic series.

I thought Larry from Ammo NYC knew a lot about washing cars. Nonetheless, this humble guy Yves, blows everybody out of the water. Thanks a lot Sreten for introducing all theses knowledgeable people to your channel❤

9 minutes in and this man changed the entire way Im washing my car from here on out

The detailer knows he's stuff, will definitely use his tips

Wow! Yves really transformed how the Alpina looks! Can't imagine how costly a professional detail like that costs! Sensational work from the Gyeon crew!

Just when you thought you knew how to “properly wash” your car from all these other KZreadrs. This is just a whole different level of washing and detailing. Incredible work 😳🤯

It's immensely satisfying to witness when one Legend Level Nerd meets another Legend Level Nerd nerding out in their nerderies. What a great vid man. Project Chicago has never once looked as good as she does now. Bravo.

No words...bro I wouldn't have the heart to drive it even hate the sun to come out... utterly speechless about the detailing and the main credit goes to u for not giving up coz at one point i thought u will let it go..hold it up...we are there to support you👍🏼

His take on rotary vs. dual-action from a professional (i e business) standpoint was really nice to hear, also the amount of time it takes to master it.

Not just a masterclass in detailing, also in marketing.

Out of the dozens of detail vids I've seen, this one is `head and shoulders` ... . Formidable.

Wow, what a transformation! Amazing job by Yves and Gyeon to put the final finishing touches on the beautiful paintjob by Artur and David!

Sreten, after everything that you've been through with this car, you can not even consider getting rid of it. With the engine rebuild, and the second rebuild, the effort you have put into this project is beyond your wildest dreams. I'm sure. This car is part of your DNA now. Please don't let it go. Fantastic result and by far the best project you have completed on your channel. Well done mate.

Saw an Alpina B7 in the wild by me in Washington D.C. and got super excited. I maintain that it's a silly amount of money for a car, but after watching you tear one down to the bones and rebuild it, I have a begrudging love for that car every time I see it.

Another quality (tutoring) post to satisfy all us us who share Automotive OCD with Sreten.....😎

A true master of his craft. This was very cathartic. What a beauty the Alpina has become.

A true professional. You can tell he's in love with his art.

Yves is truly amazing! I learned so much from watching this. 👏✨

The car entered scratched, swirl marked and dirty, the car left better than new from factory, what an icredible level of detail and love for th craft from Gyeon, mad respect!!!!

German quality + Swiss precision + Slavic out of the box thinking = M539 restorations. Chapeau bas Monsieur Sreten!

Honestly really amazed. Its amazing to me that he can take such a long time to clean the car without getting water spots or anything. I really need to setup up my car washing game. Very insightful video! Thanks Again Streten!

Best detailer I've ever seen. No snake oil and pageantry just results.

Wow, my mind is blown about how well the Alpina cleaned up. Incredibly informative video that definitely had me questioning my own cleaning methods. Top work Sreten and the Gyeon Team!

Massive respect for everyone in this video. Also Yves with his explanation feels very natural and honest. I love your video's Sreten, i hope you keep having fun making the video's! Whenever i can do you a favor in the Netherlands, please let me know!

What a treat to watch these professionals at work. Sad to say its becoming quite rare to have passionate people working on cars. I'm strugging to find them...

A straight masterclass from the best in the industry. Proud to be a gyeon installer 👍👍👍

This channel is relaxing, in my opinion, when the mechanic goes to work. This deep dive into the detailing shows what you get when you find what you love to do and make it a career. Well done. Masters of their craft. Thank you guys.

One of the most satisfying if not the most satisfying detail video I've ever watched on youtube.. Hats off to the Gyeon team.

I know the E65/E66 gets maligned for not looking as good as its E38 predecessor but when a detailer can make even an E65/E66 look this good, you know he really knows his craft. Kudos to both of you.

I looked at the video length and thought to myself, 1 hour is pretty long for a video but I didn't understand how excruciatingly in depth in details this video would go when they are talking about detailing. It is a extremely detailed video about detailing. 😄 Thank you for this. I have always known that visual side of a mechanical machine is its own world but this video really shows you how massive that world is. There's not only the mechanical world to a machine but also the visual world too.

Gotta say I am happy for you! Kept smiling at the end for what was possible for you in this project. Great experience and must make you feel proud. I feel somewhat bad for Polish guys who wanted to make good with the extra step but it turned out just the opposite.
