Does anyone watch M539 Restorations?

Tambohamilton · 01-31-2025, 06:04 AM

Well, it'll be something to look forward to!

Chihuahua · 01-31-2025, 09:53 AM

I've got $12 that says the block has scored cylinders. Amazing car nonetheless, I have a soft spot for anything Alpina. Looking forward to this one.

couchflyer · 01-31-2025, 12:05 PM

He is very passionate about BMW and Alpina cars.

M-technik-3 · 01-31-2025, 12:14 PM

Nice B12 though I did like the B6 in Alpine Weiss more.

I bet 6.0 (cups of tea at my place) it's fine... The LPG thing is hilarious though. €12k for the conversion...to save money??? Absolutely nuts.

These things all seem to be money pits.

Jbrown7403 · 01-31-2025, 10:01 PM

I hope this on works out for him…… “Un-engineering” the whole LPG kit will be a challenge…why, oh why did the previous owner do that? 😣

Yeah, the ad neglects to mention that it also needs a new engine...

They can be if you're not careful. Find a good one and you'll be fine.

Only if he would work on his pending current projects which are more interesting............YAWN. Plenty of other good TV out there including YouTube channels LOL.

Agreed, but he did say exactly that. He got a message about something he's wanted and had to go for it, and mentioned he had a ton of other projects he needed to finish as well.

I'm waiting for him to get back to "Marseille", the 850i. I keep seeing it on the lift in the background of the other videos.

I forgot about that shit box lol

Hagasan41 · 02-03-2025, 05:36 AM

I loved that he added Recaro seats to project Frankfurt. Hopefully he does a YT video on them.

Mani59 · 02-09-2025, 12:45 PM

Part 2 of the E38 Alpina B12 series.

Holy carnage Batman.

Jbrown7403 · 02-09-2025, 06:36 PM

Could almost feel his heart break when he got to cylinder 12. 😞

Tambohamilton · 02-10-2025, 03:53 AM

I can't believe it was running so clean with that damage, especially given the valve stem seals are clearly leaking too.

phinsn98_2 · 02-10-2025, 01:45 PM

His videos are addicting.
