As always - very nice video: :) The further collaboration (especially for Project Rottweil) will be really "cool"! ;-)

Het Streten, I just want to say that I found your channel during my wife's cancer treatment and your long-form, in depth content really helped me get through some hard days and nights. Thank you for doing what you do and you've earned a loyal viewer. My wife is doing well now and kicked cancers ass btw!

Guess who's going to bed an hour later today... This guy. Love to see the best BMW KZfaq channel back and hitting hard again. Hope the honey moon went in the best way possible.

He's back when the world needed him the most!

Hughe Jackman along with angry grinder finally back in action! 👍

at lunch, I told my colleagues abot this awesome chanel and how i get stuck for hours. they didn't understand the fun. So i started started to search for old alpinas that i cant afford and drank my coffee in silence.

Driving has 100% improved!

Come on people, Streten works his butt off for our BMW loving pleasure. He's a married man now, and we the people need to do our part and let others know of this killer channel. He deserves at least 1 million subscribers. Please get the word out! Thank you

I see new M539 upload, I click, I watch, I like and comment. Streten is a true BM legend.

Pagid, thank you for helping this man spread BMW KZfaq excellence!

Not skipping ads to support the channel! Cooooooming up....

This is such a throwback to my E46 328i days - it is such a fantastic chassis, and you have done all the correct tasteful modifications. Perfect car for learning the ring! Soon i'll have to throw you the keys to my E46 M3...

Please bring more old cars back to life! I miss those series

Good to have you back. You are an international treasure. We need to keep you safe. Fit a roll cage on the E46.

Was never into wagons until I started watching your videos. Now, I want one.

Sreten is back...welcome back. Its a long wait for only best BMW restorations on youtube.

After your last video with Mischa I started watching him, he is an incredible driver and appears to be a very levelheaded and humble man. I hope you both do more collaborating in future videos and I hope to see much more of your progress as a track driver.

Hi, I am your subscriber in Taiwan! I just discovered your channel recently and have spent a month watching your various projects. As someone who is also engaged in car repair, what I see is not a fan who simply loves BMW, but a fan of cars. You have passion so you have a persistent attitude! I respect you! (Sorry, my English is not very good, so I used Google Translate)

The mention of Assetto Corsa and test drive of the Nurburgring on it... pure finesse! Just discovered your channel last week. Such a great find, immediately subscribed. Thanks for the video!

Watching you had made me so much more methodical when working on my cars (BMW's, naturally!), I had to replace a rear camber arm on my E90 and was cursing myself for not being able to torque it with the car on the ground 😂

This humble e46 has got to be one of my favorite projects that you have. Seeing the transformation from a base e46 to Msport and now a track monster has been great.

Even when not OEM, you still keep it classy :) Cool updates, thanks for super high quality content as always Sreten

Driving definitely improved and you can definitely see how much better the car is handling, good job 🙌🏼

Cmon guys! We gotta get these likes on these videos up. We all know he deserves it!

I like to wrap my antiroll bars in Teflon tape, it prevent the squeaks and reduces friction. Also I would check if the 330i master and m3 master cylinder are the same, I believe they are different, and if the pistons are different you might not get the right brake balance and your pedal might have a longer throw.

A Sreten upload makes everyday so much better! Helps me through a rough patch, and the dream of owning an E31 one day is still there. Thanks again for the uploads, quality and a sense of humor. Still the best around on KZfaq in my eyes, followed you since the early videos and will be a lifetime follower. Keep ‘em coming! Regards from Norway!

Finally back!! Glad to see the mgic e39 Alpina. What a machine. Need to see videos of that machine.

Love to see more companies that support you!

Impressive upgrades on the E46 330i Touring bringing it ever closer to M Class. Cooler oil and beefier sway bars etc. are huge advantages Plus you're track experience is making lapping of Porsches on the Nurburgring even easier. Congratulations!

Sreten few years ago: "Noo! Gotta keep it oem! Parts from BMW only or OEM!" Sreten now: **Cutting plastics, using zipties **#gruzstyle** and installing one thousand mods to his wagon** I absolutely love it that you started modyfing those cars! This is best part of owning car that suit YOUR needs and not worrying what purists has to say. Also really nice you find Gauge.S useful - this is what I wanted people to use it on their OEM+ daily/track day cars! Hope we will manage do get overlay done for next video!

Project Cologne, the longest running project on the channel and the best , e46' projects seem to be never ending for the lot of us owning one.

Sreten, i was so happy to see a new video, i was having withdraw. You are always so happy working on these car's, and your enthusiasm helps motivate me to keep pushing myself on my project. I have progressive MS, and it's causing muscle wasting on my entire left side, and i have to keep moving, because i don't want to be in a wheelchair. I get aggravated because i have nearly no feeling in my left hand, and trying to do something that requires two hands makes me want to lose my mind sometimes lol. I love working on this old 50's army jeep, and everything i do takes. about 4 or 5 time's longer to get it done than it used to, but i am thankful that i can still do it. I like all the changes you are making, it cracked me up when you put the oil cooler on and said nice while laughing. Seeing an aluminum radiator in a BMW that you are working on seems strange, because you are always trying to make the car's completely oem, and are so detailed in the the thing's you do. Now that you are driving on the track, safety and good handling of the vehicle are what matter. You seem like your driving skills have improved, and you seem more confident, but when you build a car yourself, and know it's been done right, it makes a difference. G-d bless.

Finally... I had some trouble with my ISP over the last couple of days and I haven't been able to watch the video, but now thankfully I am able to, leaning back in my chair, getting a drink or two and I will thoroughly enjoy this one.

been a fan for years i stayed up and watched this vid with full excitement seen project cologne improve with each development and your driving skills as well gives me joy and a mission to work more on my project 335i N55 auto really enjoyed the video cant wait for more content from you stay awesome sreten 😁👍

Next level of driving and video creation reached. Excellent work.

It’s a good day - my 24 year old e38 got a WOF so is legal for another year and Streten drops new content. Winning.

Another 10/10 vid Streten! Absolutely amazing work dude. You are helping so many people including me ❤

I love that you used the same music as Major Hardware's: Fan Showdown - "Smoke Test" for the intro to a cooling episode. So meta!

Always a joy to see you work on these cars

I don't know if I'm just imagining this but the car looks to rev sooooo Smoothly as you lap the ring. Love the video!

Love the Project Cologne, With every video it just gets better. Your driving on the 'Ring has also gotten better since the last time you were out with Misha. Well done man! Keep the solid content coming. Can't wait.

this is the USDM E36 M3 formula applied to an e46. I wish more people would modify their cars like this. Excellently tasteful and intelligent mods and work. Driving is great too

Wow, massive improvement from last time, a lot more confident looking in your steering wheel and overall your "dance" with hands and feet is waaay more coordinated and natural looking. 🎉🎉

got completely hypnotized while you were on the track! i think you've improved a lot too! you're the coolest car guy on youtube

Love seeing you work, you're passion comes across the camera.

genius idea about getting the driving sim! i love this car and was really getting into the driving segment! nice work!

100% giving the like bottom a press. 10/10 as always. Mechanic tech myself loving your always thoughtful way of making things work and stay working.

I would love to see a e46 m3 on the channel. My absolute dream car as a young boy ❤

Seeing the old dial cluster with the fuel economy gauge is epic. Analogue dials!

So great Sreten, I always look forward to your episodes. Love this car and your driving is getting much better. Keep up the great work. 👍

I drove an M5 from Padua to Welsberg and had the time of my life. Regardless of the preventive maintenance a BMW requires, it's absolutely worth it.

home sweet some, in front of a new, beautiful m539 restorations video, cheers!

Sreten, I gotta say I really look up to you and your extremely methodical way of working and learning track driving. I naturally am basically the opposite of that and I beat myself up for it. But - every time I work on something - cars or my day to day job I try to implement your strategies and slowly improve! :) Each video is a reminder to try harder :)

So good to have you back, hope the honeymoon was great! This is giving me great motivation for my e21 project.. thank you as always!

I almost don't know what to say. What a video, what an excellent work on this car. And you, my friend, are excellent to. Man you are outstanding.

Thank's to you're video from Nürburgring, i hade to take a 5 day's roundtrip and drive a lap on the Nordschleife 😁

My e46 323ci is still standing still in my garage. This series is giving me the motivation to do some much needed repairs!

Your Spanish is great, man! 😎 in no time you’ll be reading, speaking, and writing it like a pro 👌🏼 can’t wait to see more power on this beast so everyone on the ‘Ring will see a flying shoe (or chancla! Lol) saludos desde Los Angeles 🌴

Your steering inputs are better and more fluid, so the car is transitioning better between corners. Progress!

Pure feast for our eyes and hears, Thanks for the perfection.

The legend is back…

Hey sten I had seen this article and thought it was something you had done before ( put an m5 engine in an 850) going through all your 850 restoration videos now just thought I’d put the article there in case I lost it , keep up the good work and great videos 👍🏿

oh yea baby evening sorted :)

Your driving skills are nearly as good as your mechanical skills well done sir 👏

Top notch work as always Sreten and happy to see you enjoy the car!

Gooood stuff Sreten! Tip from N old racing mechanic: spiral wrap the braided oil cooler hoses for extra protection.. The abrasive mesh will eat trough anything 😅🙏

SO glad another video is up! YAY!

What a perfect daily this is too. Practical, fun, engaging and analog but not uncomfortable.

sir.. what sort of woodoo magic you have put on us.. i can't stop watching your videos. they are so entertaining and i like that we are reaching some form of a goal at the end of every video. Thank you.. can; wait to see the Ratti..

Project Cologne is my favorite project on this channel. It's amazing. I have rewatched this series a few times and am waiting for more updates on this project.

Also, loved the low level commentary at the end, just pure race track sounds😊

Hey! Thanks for new Content. More importantly: I hope you had a fantastic trip/vacation with your wife. Quality time with your beloved ones is without substitute.

The gap between Sreten from the lap of Project Dubai and this lap of Project Cologne is the same gap between Yuji Ide and Kimi Raikonnen 🤣🤣 Awesome!

Great accomplishment for a mechanic/driver to test his skills on the track. Great content and information for the BM enthusiasts 👍🏼

The knowledge, editing and so much more makes me wish I still had my German spec E46. Guten twist.

Really Nice driving, as a fellow E46 Touring Driver is nice to see someone using it as a ring tool.

Another great video Sreten! I really hope we'll see another project like Rottweil or Cologne soon, because these 2 were the most relatable and by far my favorite content from you and I regularly rewatch them from the beginning.

A nice custom M539 livery would make a nice future episode on this series!

Sreten, This is absolutely without a doubt the best end to a looooong work week at the Ring!!! Well done on the upgrades. Another spectacular episode!!!

I can see your gear change has improved enormously. Very smooth.

Man, I'm going to miss the Nurburgring this year. That BMW looks like a perfect ring toy!

Nice track footage

Great, just great stuff again! I've recently picked up an E46 with the M54 engine as well, and love it much. Mine is just a humble 2.2 though which lacks a bit of power, so I would definitely be interested in the cat project or other elegant ways to crank it up a bit. BTW, loved the 944's on track. Such great cars, I still miss mine sometimes.

"with the help of Misha" hahah I knew he'd be in this video somehow when I saw Nürburgring. Sucks he couldn't drive it, but I'm sure it will happen in the future!

Streten, you have the technique of the outside pass down pat!

Yes you did improve your driving, smoother!!

Awesome upgrades, Epic content as always. Enjoyed watching Streten, TY for the upload.

The next episode, I was really waiting for it)

I like the intro and the music. Very nice and relaxing.

The sound of that M54 is amazing.

Welcome back my brother we missed you,much love from South Africa🇿🇦🇿🇦

Epic as always. Keep up the good work!

Sreten the man! Look at your Subs! Its rising and i like it. You deserve it.

Man that gear shift is butter smooth 👌 Nicely done Sreten!

Great to see you start doing the real fun stuff. I would like to see more of this type of content.

Nice to see you improve driving the ring! What a perfect build! I hope you enjoyed it so like me! Greets from the Netherlands

Sooner or later there has to be a S54 engine go into project cologne! E46 M3 Touring would be a cool project. 😎

Nice! FYI - those are called AN fittings (not NA). They're an Army/Navy spec (hence AN) for attaching hoses in engines for hostile environment military applications and aircraft. Very tough connectors, sometimes the only thing keeping engines attached to airframes after crashes.

Good to see you enjoying the fruits of your labours at last.

when you get better with steering an the breaking the weight transfers will be smoother too, but you already show way more feel for it than most, GG! also love the mods and seeing the high skill level of your work again!
