Road trip story & Project thread: 2001 Titanium Silver e39 M5

I'm really looking forward to seeing the M-Tech II bumpers on it! It'll totally transform the look, I've always found the design of the standard bumpers kind of odd

Catching up on the videos. Project Dubai looks minty fresh.

Great video on the conclusion of Project Dubai. The comments on Youtube are spot on, looks like a BMW advertisement towards the end of the video.

I wonder why OP stopped posting updates here.

Sreten and his channel got a big plug from automotive journalist Dan Neil in today's Wall Street Journal p. D7...

Dan was reviewing the new 2021 M550i sedan and spent the first 1/3rd of the article singing Sreten's praises...Way to go...

Good find.

Nuuuuuuuuuu Sreten come back!

[Sreten]

Very sorry for disappearing boys! I just don't have as much free time as I had before, but I'll try to stay active.

Great to see your latest videos, Sreten. Fantastic progress. Makes me want a e46 Touring, and leather covered arm-rests. Looking forward to the next ones.

For those that haven't seen them yet:

Part 5,

Part 6,

Thanks for posting these, Will!

Can't wait for them too.

Thank you! I actually sold it today. It's going a great guy from the UK who has a small collection of nice cars.

Thank you! Took a lot of work to make that video but I'm really proud of it.

Sorry Fredo, I suck at managing time, lol.

Thank you for posting this! I had no idea about it until I saw the notification from your comment. Indeed really amazing and totally unexpected.
I was trying to find WSJ papers here but couldn't find them in Germany. I have some screen grabs, that's the first time I received such a public shoutout so pretty exciting stuff!


The next video will be on the Touring and I have more stuff cooking, E31 6-speed from France, 2 E32's actually and I left my job a month ago. Going full-time with fixing junk from March and I finally get to do what makes me happy!

I put Eisenmann/Reuter motorsport exhaust on the Touring and got pretty disappointed. The sound is pretty dull and the drone around 2000 rpm is unbearable so I won't keep it. I'm really craving for UUC Corsa exhaust I had on my ZHP, that thing was glorious so if anyone knows of a use one for sale, let me know.

The Corsa would be illegal in Germany since it has no e-number. Was it the Eisenmann catback or axleback? Eisenmann catback sounds quite exotic and pretty good IMO. BMW Performance exhaust is another option.
