Can we build the old BMW V12 M70/M73 engine to look and make more power than when it was new? You'll about to learn that in this episode, as we increase the displacement of the engine, install ported heads, hot cams, custom headers and refurbish everything along the way. The end result speaks for itself!

    And this, my friend, is why your channel is THE BEST BMW restoration channel on the web.. not just YouTube.
  • @shiftdnb
    I believe if Ice Cube were to write "It Was A Good Day" in this day and age, there would be a verse to include a M539 Restorations video dropping. OOOOoooooOOOO
  • This literally looks like a piece from a bmw museum or a new old stock motor. It's simply incredible.
  • @chillie4017
    Imagine yourself rewatching every video because you just can’t stop watching the most amazing BMW lover mechanic😂
  • @just_4_746
    After following your videos for a long time now, I (or rather all of us) just have to say thank you. I'm 21 and rescued an old Audi 80 B2 2.2 Quattro from the scrapyard and your videos have given me the confidence to tackle the engine. I have found detailed documentation and next month I will start. Many thanks for everything and keep up the good work!

    You just turned that Triebwerk into a Kunstwerk. Magnificent!
  • @essexginge9167
    "Engine go boom boom knock knock" is now my go to for explaining a blown engine
  • @carlossanz1062
    I think that the merit is not only that you are a master Mechanic, you are also a brilliant editor. I can see all the video without stop or past anything.
  • @stefan_1989
    i think this is one of the most beautiful engines I've seen you build. BMW should seriously consider using you as their main car restorer for their museum.
  • @hkmonaro8153
    That vapour blast machine is quite honestly the best invention ever, love how good parts look after a quick blast..
  • in my dreams, in a perfect world you would post one 3-hour video a week, you're a legend Sreten
  • @Khan_Art_
    I never knew watching gaskets being applied could be so refreshing.
  • @karlmjay
    A 1 hr 18 mins episode over just like that. Sreten, you sir deserve more than just a beer. Seeing that old E31 V12 engine brought back to life with care and attention to detail is a sight to behold. A dearly departed friend of mine had one of these and invested many thousands ££ keeping it running. I'm watching the progress on this one with great interest in his honour. Well done! I can see one of your restorations ending up in the BMW museum one day.
  • @bmwdinan5
    I love when you rebuild these older engines. I get so much satisfaction watching you relive the engineer designs of the 80’s and early ‘90s
  • Not even a BMW fan, still the best content out there, Sreten is a master!
  • @meto.v
    Maaan you are the absolute ICON of the cars restoration. I don’t have anything more to say! 🙌🙌🙌
  • @tcpnetworks
    This channel is more theraputic than educational.... Could watch you days building stuff.
  • @Andy-mq6yv
    Thanks, love your work. I’ve never spent money on YouTube, but you deserve every penny
  • @AnastaseVIII
    I'm speechless. You managed to raise the level, again.
