Nice, cathartic watch as always. 0.0% chance I would EVER own a VAG product.

That Bentley is an example of poor to nonexistent maintenance and how to commit a crime with RTV. I look forward to another BMW resurrection, perhaps that E36 that he has sitting in storage.

That was a very quick fixup to get it on the road. There are lots of things this car needs to get into the perfect shape again
Besides, Sreten was promising to bring it over to Germany

A USA special!

I found 1 of 2 ever made BMW E31 850CSi finished in individual Santorini blue over black leather interior. It's broken, it's neglected, it's beautiful! The CSi is powered by the S70 V12 engine built by BMW Motorsport, pumping out 380 hp. Despite its low mileage of 73k miles, this rare machine needs a lot of work, and in this episode, we go over the entire condition of the car and start wrenching!

It's perfect to me, this is 90s-BMW aesthetic perfection before they started putting all of the shiny black plastics on the exteriors. I wouldn't change a thing about this car other than having my name on the title instead of Sreten's

Looking forward to the video series on this one.

Just remember - when working on a project car, you are always one (1) 10mm bolt away from a divorce!



Cool car, but there is NO WAY I would want to own one - no spare parts, no bueno!

P.S.: Good job bimmerworld.com

You wouldn't think there could be TOO much beautiful BMW blue, but you're absolutely right.
