WrathOTM · 03-21-2023, 04:04 PM

Nice video as usual. Just makes me more excited to get my suspension refreshed finally. Trying to get all my subframe bushings done before being able to move forward on my E82.

Boy oh Boy that front end looks so damn sexy on the video preview. my love for old Bimmers just gets strong time.

Congrats to Sreten, just saw this on my YouTube feed yesterday. What a cool piece.

I have a B7 too, if by chance you see this Sreten how is that lower temp N62 thermostat holding up for you? I'm interested in doing the same mod to mine but I've read horror stories about the one that seems to be for sale everywhere made by Hamburg Technic.

A great podcast with JP of BMW Group Classic and Sreten!

Mani59 · 03-30-2023, 09:12 AM

And here is the video that is mentioned in the podcast that Sreten did with BMW Group Classic.

NikMN · 03-30-2023, 11:25 AM

Part 17 of Project Chicago is now up!
What a beauty!

Almuliman · 04-03-2023, 11:31 AM

The result is unreal. I realized at some point that my eyes were telling me I was looking through a tinted glass pane rather than a reflection. Amazing. And surely wicked expensive.

Chihuahua · 04-03-2023, 12:13 PM

Awesome, I know what I'll be watching tonight.

Tambohamilton · 04-03-2023, 03:29 PM

F*ck, washing cars is tedious! The result is unreal, sure, but then what? Just stand and look at it in a clean room in case it gets dust on it? Heaven forbid mildly acidic rain should fall on it, never mind bird sh1t, leaves, brake dust, grit,......... Hard pass!

To each, their own. Next!

It's worth it when Gyeon does it for free

Haha, yeah I was wondering how much the bag of stuff would retail for, even.

I wouldn't thank them for it though; I just want to use my car without worrying about normal wear and tear (and dirt). So long as the paint is protecting the metal, I'm happy.

I think he mentioned he's gonna sell this to fund the E92 project, so keeping it clean will be someone else's problem. Can't wait for him to get back to the E92

Tambohamilton · 04-03-2023, 04:14 PM

completely agree!

Chihuahua · 04-05-2023, 07:01 AM

Great episode, I picked up a couple of car washing tips. He had mentioned something about taking the B7 to Buchloe and doing a dyno session, I hope he's able to do those still. I'd be very interested in dyno numbers. Alpina rated the car at 493hp, but one of the press cars back in the day did over 510.
