If I could find cheap gray Sport seats, I'd swap them out.
The actual name of the color is Türkis grau.

Replacing my grey standard seats with the sport ones was probably one of the best things I've ever done. Near impossible to find sedan grey sports seats in good condition, so I had to settle on torn junkers, but still worth it.

To me this looks like Green/gray but VIN says Türkis grau and even when I google it, I'm not coming up with much.

That's a good looking wagon. I have to stop looking at all the e46 wagon threads or I risk buying one too!
I saw a youtube post that your m5 was about halfway across the Atlantic, has it arrived yet and what are your initial impressions of its condition?
Hey, Will! It's coming tomorrow supposedly, I was told to expect the call from the driver so almost there!
Part 3 of project Dubai is live! Fixed a few things in this one and smashed a pair of hateful cheap taillights, I hate seeing these on E38's as much as I do seeing Depo headlights on E39.

It's pretty much what I expected. The bumper needs to be replaced, some dings here and there, the doors on the left side are a different color, the interior is disgustingly filthy...
Bunch of lights on the dash but it runs and drives, the engine is misfiring and idling high but sounds healthy. No crazy noises. Clutch feels really good.

I didn't have time for a thorough inspection, just quickly pulled the codes from DME: coolant temp sensor, thermostat and misfires...

Overall clean from underneath. Rear sway bar link is not stock, oil leak that's coming from the oil drain plug and a leak from one of the power steering lines. That's it, I expected far more leaks to he honest. Tires are good but older, front and rear rotors have a lip and there's a clunk coming from the front suspension.

I got really excited when I saw Superpsrint on the exhaust thinking it might have SS headers but nien, just SS decat pipes. The welding was done very well and the car sounds amazing, not too loud but you can hear that V10 singing properly.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to go back to stock and reinstate primary cats as it won't be able to pass German emission inspection like this. I already found headers with stock cats that have low miles so I can just swap them out but then I'll need to go back to the factory tune.
I definitely have work cut out with this M5 but all in all, I think I did pretty well considering how much I paid. It'll clean up nicely once I'm done with it.

I saw a youtube post last night / this morning showing Winnie D Turd has arrived (and another post saying Project Dubai passed TUV) and sure enough you've posted an update! Looking forward to the WDT video series.
I feel like a crackhead looking for my next hit - thanks for hooking it up.
Nice!!!

Wow, I missed the memo on getting an E60 M5. I've heard so many horror stories, so fingers crossed you've got one with a good bones that I know you'll treat right.
No SMG. 70% of problems have been avoided. Good choice sir.

Found 2 old original fuel injectors that are falling apart and 10 replacement ones that are actually longer! So the 2 old ones were not sealing properly. Now I have to figure out what to do here as new injectors are over $1.000. They are specific to facelift 750iL with M73N engine.
Valve cover gasket appears to have been glued to the head. I have no other way of explaining this.

It took me an hour of insane prying to remove the cover. I've never seen anything like this in my life.
Stupidity of the person who did this is remarkable, it took me few hours just to clean all of this after.
Based on that, I decide to leave the other side alone as the idiot basically permanently sealed it and there's no chance of it leaking, just a nightmare to take off.
I hate previous owners and mechanics of this car so so much. It's absolutely incredible how mistreated this car was.
On the bright side, the engine is clean on the inside and received regular oil changes at least.

Watching you smash those lights was very satisfying in the last video. Just imagine how many views you’d get lighting a car on fire...
Seriously though, I have really enjoyed all of your videos and eagerly await the next!
Thank you!Quote:

They are sending me a full care package to replace absolutely all of the fluids plus some other goodies like additives and their merch.

I love their products and have been using their oil for years so I'm super stoked! If it all goes well and they like the video, they would continue supporting other projects which would be awesome!
Awesome, congrats!!

Very cool about LiquiMoly.
Very uncool about the M73’s previous owner.
Congrats on the LM sponsorship! Looking forward to your next videos.
Thanks a lot everyone!
A lot of goodies arrived!

Yes !
I didn’t realize until just now how much I want a LiquiMoly wall clock for my garage.
Thanks, fellas!
E46 Touring content is live on the channel! I talk way more than I would like to in this one but part 2 will be wrenching all day long. I must admit I'm very pleased with my purchase.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyDCvMJSnkM&feature=youtu.be
Already chuckled at only 2 minute in...
And of course another meeting gets in the way of watching more of it. :facepalm
I'm dying to see the rest of this video...
That's a pretty good deal! Parts can be replaced, but good to see the rocker panels and the quarters (aside from that one spot) are solid. I had a similar rust spot on my car, though I caught it very early before it spread to the outside surface, so I was able to repair that with some POR15 and not having to worry so much about the looks.

Oh boy, the M5 has come home.
The low blinker fluid caught me so off guard that I nearly choked on my coffee.
I subscribe to exactly 3 channels on YouTube and yours is quickly becoming my favorite.
Congrats, the touring is in very decent shape. Rear manual windows … never seen that before on a BMW.
Danke! Hopefully you managed to see the rest!Quote:

But finally it's running properly and I'm pretty much done with the mechanical side of this car.
I saw a couple of your videos surpassed 1 million views; congrats!!!
Great videos as always, looking forward to the next ones.
Much appreciated it, Will!
Yeah, both E31 videos went over 1 million each. Pretty amazing!

Big congrats on the milestone! Can’t wait to see more content.
You know, it’s a shame. You maybe could have rescued Hoovie’s now departed Alpina B7.
Over 1 mil!!?? WOW!

Thank you! The Alpina was far too gone but the 760Li just needed a fuel pump for which you can get a rebuild service on eBay for $400. Sad is junked the car because of it.Quote:
