again i could be completely wrong but that’s how my brain understood it.

I'm speaking about the respray. After the dye they applied a two-part urethane coating which would effectively seal the leather on that side. Kinda like Dakota leather.

Need a super clean E36 sedan in my neck of the woods, a stripper 328i 5 spd 4 door would be perfect.

M3_Legend · 06-28-2023, 09:45 PM

I love his channel so much and can’t wait for every new episode

F32Fleet · 07-04-2023, 05:10 PM

We should all mourne the death of Sreten as we know him. RIP bachelor Sreten.

RocketyMan · 07-05-2023, 05:58 PM

Na... it's about time he gets married!

Mani59 · 07-07-2023, 11:17 AM

The final episode of Project Rottweil (E39 530i) is now up and it looks factory fresh!

Jbrown7403 · 07-07-2023, 09:59 PM

Nice episode as usual. E39 looks factory fresh! Love to see really good PDR wizards work their magic on dents and hail damage. A true art form.

F32Fleet · 07-10-2023, 05:54 PM

I really can't wait to watch a episode which entails fixing a problem with the climate control system.

Hope he doesn't end up like Hoovie or Tavarish

Tambohamilton · 07-15-2023, 03:31 PM

Probably unpopular opinion; these detailing episodes are tedious. I want to watch for the 5 mins of PDR satisfaction and glorious final shots, but man, I really don't dig the detailing! Sreten, I fully support your motion to have someone else do that henceforth!

Can we get on with the supercharger now, please?

Edit just to clarify; I'm not complaining at all. I'm well aware that I don't have to watch them all! I'm just saying that, of all this good stuff, the detailing episodes are my least favourite.

They are a *tad* tedious, but it's content. It's what goes into finishing a project. I'll gladly watch.

Plus, what they did with the Alpina made my jaw drop.

celsdogg · 07-19-2023, 09:31 PM

I'll watch it.

I wouldn't mind having more numerous, shorter episodes though.

Tambohamilton · 07-20-2023, 02:18 AM

I like the long episodes, personally...unless they're 99% detailing

I had the same reaction. Just for fun I went back and watched the first couple of episodes and then the last two episodes; it's really, really hard to believe it's the same car. Sreten did an amazing job on that one. I'm ready for some S65 content.

Yes to S65 and less detailing. Just can't sit through someone putting that much effort into the exterior when it'll become less than perfect the second you drive the car. Unless you PPF it, which is a whole other thing I can't get behind.

Lastly yea, sad he got married. All the best...

couchflyer · 07-23-2023, 01:46 PM

I feel sorry about you guys that think marriage is bad.

Mani59 · 07-30-2023, 01:57 PM

Episode 4 of Project Frankfurt (E92 M3) is now up!

Jbrown7403 · 07-30-2023, 02:40 PM

Great way to spend a blazing hot Sunday afternoon by watching someone else work on their car from the comfort of my recliner! F1 from Spa + Sreten….. perfect day!
