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

[Sreten]

Yep, definitely more relatable, as I've never worked on anything except E36s and E46s before. Had it on my 2nd screen while I worked on my thesis.

2 main comments I had:
- Wow, that's a heck of a lot of sludge, I wonder what the oil change intervals were, and
- Geez that impact wrench really isn't great if it struggles with FCAB and reinforcement shield bolts. A few weeks ago I splurged on a 450 ft-lbs 1/2" Milwaukee gun, and boy it's such a treat to use coming from a 10+ year old corded impact driver barely pushing 50 ft-lbs.

Nice! Milwaukee is on my shopping list, hopefully I'll get it soon, well worth to spend the money there.

I managed somehow. That was filthy.

Great work as usual. Hope your getting some fall breeze now.

You probably could've split this one in two.

Thanks! Finally, it's back to normal weather-wise, every summer there are like 2 weeks when it's hot as hell and I had to work on the car exactly then.

I enjoyed this one. I watched 20 min, had dinner, then came back for the rest. Very informative, thanks for sharing.

Awesome to hear, Fredo! Thanks!

Another great video! It's very satisfying to see the progression, especially the de-sludging.

I had no problem watching the whole thing in one go. It seemed like there was sufficient material for two slightly shorter videos, which would have been fine too.

I grew up watching the show New Yankee Workshop featuring master carpenter Norm Abrams (link). Not that I was doing any carpentry as a kid (or even now, for that matter), but it was educational, entertaining, and satisfying to watch experts do their thing. No phony dramas or manufactured crisis. Your channel reminds me of New Yankee Workshop shows, but with cars and humor.

Thanks, Will! I could've but I'm still experimenting and the storyline was flowing better as one video.

After already being caught up on all your videos and then stumbling across your thread here I couldn't help but read all your updates with an accent. Absolutely love the videos!

Thank you!
