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.

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.

every video is like therapy no anoying music or anything just clean car work 🙂

"It's pretty negligible, but to me it's important to do nice clean job" That's how you set apart the average mechanic from a great one that loves what he is doing, it's the little things than combine in the end and truly make a difference. That's i watch your content Sreten.

Everybody talks about upgrading ECUs and turbos, but this is the stuff I love to see; upgraded valve stem seals and thermostat. I don't know why, I just find it so amazing that users noticed all of this stuff and thought of making it better than the factory did. Love your work, man!

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 was the guy behind at the red light a couple of days ago. As soon as the guy hit the gas, a shit ton of smoke came out of his X5, more than in your video.

You sir are an absolute artist. Attention to detail second to none. When your notification comes down its a straight away must watch. I watch with my mouth wide open with amazement. Genius.

The camera work/editing is top notch this episode. You have a God's touch when working with all types of bmws. I'm kind of hoping for fun when you have extra time, that you may work a bmw motorcycle. I'm really interested to see how you would tackle one of those.

I own zero BMWs but love your channel with all my heart. Been needing to do valve seals on my mx5 (which is 100x easier that this) and youve given me the motivation to order tools, parts & get started! Thanks for another great video!

Your attention to detail is crazy. Can’t wait to see this fully working!

The amount of work and passion that you put in your cars is really impressive, keep it like that!!!

Great camera angles, massive upgrade!

For future reference, there's a service function in ISTA and most scan tools (Autel/Autologic/etc) to set the Valvetronic actuators to a "removal position." It's not absolutely necessary, but it will keep the actuators from snapping out like that and can prevent any potential damage- I have seen damaged Valvetronic actuators from improper removal.

In my opinion you are the one who should make instructables for bmw in house mechanics. Not only subject matter expert but also ingenious and out-of-the- thinking. Additionally you have great video editing skills. That's my opinion. Thanks for the video!

Most times I have no clew what I am looking at, especially when it’s about engines. But I watch the new video’s all the way till the end. Just because I really like the almost obsessive way of making your BMW’s absolutely spot on again, the way you comment the video’s, and your “dry humor” as we say it in the Netherlands. Keep up the good work man, fantastic!

Thanks for the Upload! Work day has been saved!

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 🙂

Where did the other video go that came out today 10/19? I got about halfway through and it stopped loading. Refreshed and the video was gone

My experience w this engine: Oil leaks (valve, timing, alternator bracket) Valve stem seals (not every time but probably every one eventually) Tranny solenoids and the other seals inside Valeo alternator will need replacement Expansion tank hose between heads Definitely other stuff. Chirping tensioner Water pump and cooling pipe leaks Periodic intake manifold failures Water flange in back of engine (transmission out) Hopefully Sreten got it cheap. This is alpina part 2. His girlfriend is going to be calling when its shit the bed on the roadside. To minimize that call I'd change the expansion tank hose, alternator and upper radiator hose at a minimum

Excellent video, one of the best technical channels on KZread. Cheers🎉

The valve spring compressor tool is fantastic, very simple but very easy and effective tool, just wish I had one of these 30 years ago when rebuilding my E28 , 2.8 engine.

I’ve changed the valve stem seals on my 4.8 e70. I found a video on KZread and rented the tool from Tony’s tool rental and he has all the videos to show how as well which was super helpful. It was a pain in the butt but worth it when there is no more smoke. Also a good time to change coolant pipe and all gaskets.

Your work is first class and I loved the dog at the end 🐕

Not gonna lie I love watching your videos I never take my eyes way , and they actually inspired me to actually became BMW technician

Sreten is the only restorer in the world of restoration that cleans a dirty engine bay before working on it. He should teach a thing or two to any mechanic in the world

Wow a complicated exercise, congratulations on your amazing abilities

Hey M539 absolutely love the videos, I have a 2013 BMW 550i that was my first car. I can’t wait to regret trying to replace the valve stem seals on that. Great video as always 👍
