My favorite part of his show is when he says "guud n tight" as Streten makes reference to torque specs for non critical areas.

He said his Ring taxi tribute car is in Spokane WA now. I'm considering driving over the mountains to check it out. Hopefully it is on display at the dealership.

I'm considering marking "gutentite" at the top of the torque scale on my torque wrenches

He runs a great channel but please ditch the maserati crap. There are so many other cars that we would be interested in. They are built like shit.

Stick to BMW and Porsche please as your core and sprinkle in other makes but not a Maserati, they aren't cool or interesting.

He should have bought the pre-face lift Quattroporte which had the more reliable engine. Waldo's world did a video on it.

Just finished watching "Project Fresno" about 4 days restoration of the salvaged E60 M5 6-spd. Super entertaining and useful, if you have similar car or something else S85-powered. That V10 is just.... ridiculously awesome!

+1. It's a BMW channel. More awesome barn finds, miraculous restorations, painstaking interior refits, clever hacks for NLA parts, etc. that's what I want to see. If he wants to branch out to something new, it's diesel BMWs. BMW made some great diesel engines that are well worthy of vapour blasted castings.

...but then I've never paid the guy a dime, so he definitely shouldn't listen to me.

I liked the Maserati episodes - mix it up a little. Interesting to see how it compares (poorly) to our beloved BMW's and again see how he's a human that gets crappy luck handed to him as well.

Also if you saw the most recent episodes, you might have seen where he ducks out to do a podcast with Jason Camissa. In it (I listened to it today) he mentions considering Porsche and Mercedes as well. Be prepared if you want only BMW.

I'm happy to do it, I get hours of entertainment and knowledge from his channel. The 30 second ad breaks give me time to refill my beverage.

One of my best friends just bought one. He loves it. I don’t have the heart to tell him and he won’t be getting the link to this video.

I remember the issues the the old BiTurbo's from the 80's had and I would never even consider owning one. I lived on Sicily for a year and don't think I saw a single one during my time there. That was in 91-92 time frame.

Not gonna lie I would consider one if I had the means, a metallic black one sounds nice. I think he might be a bit overpriced on what he hopes to get from the sale, but I know nothing of euro prices for these.

I finally finished the Project Frankfurt series and loved it because it covered so many things on the E9X M3. My most important take-away.....if my auto-folding mirrors fail to stop in the correct position, I will NOT attempt to fix that stop pin. New mirror for me.

That series was a good one, fantastic E9X M3 build. Not too over the top, just right. Baba booey!

My favorite projects were the E92 M3 and the E46 Touring, the ZHP retrofit brought back memories of my first BMW, an '01 325Cic.

My daughter and I have been watching the recent 850 garden find (Project Marseille). She's 8! I figured it was just to get screen time but she actually follows along and asks tons of questions.

How about a Rolls-Royce... I think from 2004 they're pretty much a BMW right. The V12.

I was looking on auto trader the other day they're still quite expensive even in the most neglected state. Probably the interior parts would be a real nightmare.

Otherwise I would like to see him do an old 190 era Mercedes. I really hope he doesn't turn into a Porsche snob.
