UNEXPECTED!

[@M539Restorations]

When I grow up, I'm gonna be as fast as Misha! Flying through the Green Hell with the E46 was so much fun. Cheers for the awesome lap, more to come!

[@PixelVogue]

Good starter project!!

[@rowdyrod]

Loved the colab!

[@kuma7526]

From what I've heard, if you track an E46 M54 you should look at the engine. There's something wrong with the Oil pickup if you track it regularly. Chris Fixit engine blew up because of that

[@porschelover04]

Love your content! I know you hear it all the time, but it's obligatory. If you don't mind, I'd suggest your first change should be camber plates! Soft springs and sway bars will help you feel the weight transfer, but those non-adjustable struts will kill your times (and tires), beginner or expert. I know you've done your research, but I wanted to throw in my $0.02.

Might need a therapists help for you to put your mechanical sympathy aside for track/drift driving!

I only found sretens channel earlier this year and I lost about 3 weeks of my life binge watching every single video he’s ever made! I subscribe to 100’s of channels covering all sorts of different subjects and his is definitely in my top 3

[@ewadge]

Me too. Once I discovered his channel I went on a total binge

[@ShalomBrother]

@@ewadge I watched each car as like a different series 1 after another rather than in the chronological order

@@siddharthsharma8940 yes exactly like that, I think for some reason it was all the X5 videos I watched first. God knows why as I’ve absolutely no interest in BMW SUV’s but I was absolutely captivated 🙃

10:35 Pressing the DSC button once only partially disables traction control. Hold the button for 5 seconds to fully disable it. The handbrake light should turn on together with the traction control light. I think it was still on.

[@rx-heaven8934]

He's talking about the lap that Sreten did prior to this when the traction control was left on (which can be seen on the M539 channel). For this lap, it was turned completely off.

[@Tzkje]

@@rx-heaven8934 I stand corrected. Still good to know for everyone how to fully disable it :)

What a pleasure to see Streten here !

[@AaronRandolphChen]

One of my favorite videos so far, Misha! I am a big fan of M539 Restorations and seeing you both together in his daily driver on the Ring is like a double bonus! Love, love, love this!! Thank you!

[@axelusul]

What a team Sreten, watched and subbed to Mishka to see his take on your legendary mechanics. Funny how laid back he is after doing 1000 laps a year and pushing the car so you can tune it up. What a duo

[@imt5802]

I could not agree more! These two Gentlemen know what they are doing, and these two together is just an awesome combination of skill and craftsmanship in one car, having fun and making plans for the future. I love it!

[@larryzuniga7741]

Great colab, I watch Misha every single day and m539 restorations are just from another planet. That one youtube channel you'll never regret watching one hour videos

[@totallybonkers]

[@sotirispa]

Amazing! Hope for another lap and video after the upgrades

[@Saavvvv]

SO SO good to see you two driving together. Misha is absolutely killing it lately and M539 is my absolute favourite technical channel.

[@coliimusic]

The fuel economy gauge is nostalgic, my mom had a 323i of this era and I remember watching that needle move around and being mesmerized as a kid😂😂

[@StillShatter]

No shot just got home from work as soon as I saw Sreten's face on the thumbnail I got so excited have been waiting for this lap two of the best automotive content creators on the platform...also a note to Sreten I for one will watch every minute of any track content you put out ❤❤❤

[@totallybonkers]

I love watching your pedal movements. Shows you really can use brakes without fear ... if used properly. Feathering the throttle while clutching. Love it!

[@yodaistheone]

I Love the dynamics between builder and driver. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you Streten. We cannot wait to see the future of this car. Misha, an absolute pleasure to watch you drive. You are so relaxed behind the wheel. At those speeds my cherries would shrink to almost nothing 🙂. From a fan in South Africa.

[@MuminWROC]

9:00, doing 150 and getting super fast to a tight corner, Sreten saying "man, it's really beautiful here" like "please, I don't wanna die so young"

[@adi_2787]

That is how I got to know of you, Misha, and I have subbed to your channel when Sreten came to fix your M3, and y;all went to take out the fuel pump, when in reality you had forgotten to put fuel in! But I liked your content and I watched everything you're put and are posting. Good job with the BIlstejn racing alongside Steve and Jimmy.

[@Chris89--]

Yes! This is the collab I was waiting for, awesome! Do more vids together!

[@ChrisKsan]

I really think Misha is building himself in one of the top legend drivers! Bit of a side quest, but if he decides to focus more on competition driving, the fact that he puts in so many damn laps per year and back and forth with so many different cars, in and out, his skill is increasing exponentially!

[@kamilianos]

sometimes I don't appreciate how skilled Misha is. Watching back to back lap by M539 then by Misha it's night and day. The car turns from slow brick to a smooth corner killer.

[@douglasmedeiros3398]

Sreten smiling all the way shows how happy and proud he is. A real gearhead!

[@sttm1283]

[@RDSAlphard]

This is simply the BEST, I'm glad to see you two making video together ever since Project Martha!

[@crossplanerider]

Glorious. A very nice round on the NLS. Sretens E46 looks amazing and now with a smooth powertrain. Maybe next year @Misha could take my fun toy 328ti Compact with my own calibrated 2.8l for a spin. But I need to upgrade the front brakes with BMW compound rotors and Ferodo DS performance first. And course steel flex brake lines. Otherwise that would not be so smart to go on the track.

[@ReyGarufo]

omfg Sreten face was pure satisfaction! He is a good driver but misha demostrate the real potencial of his project!! Nice and realy epic video! thanks

[@LastChanceFossil]

Great colab. Sreten loves the feedback and praise for his work. ❤

[@daliborlesnik5591]

Making a tracktool car out of daily driver is like putting your crocs into sport mode and than go for a run. I love how well it tourned out. The swap, the way it performed, how you drived it and how Misha was satisfied. We all be looking forward for next episode of project Cologne

[@DAlanChurches]

I wasn’t sure whether to be freaked out or comforted while Misha talked constantly, even though the tight twistiest Ultimately comforted as he clearly knows what he’s doing.

OK, so while Misha is practically taking Streten back to school, he's passing cars like going to the supermarket...IMPRESIVE...absolutely impressible...a BIG Pura Vida from Costa Rica...

[@lotusjp]

My friend I love your channel but the first thing you do and I've been driving since 1980😊 you do the suspension sway bars as thick as you can get them up front 30 mm rear 28 minimum brakes 6 piston up front sharks adjustable track settings and then you let the test driver do it you did it ass backwards , forget comfortable you need to fill the bumps exactly it doesn't matter if you want to use track car then don't play around with it it's a safety issue as well I can't believe you did that!

[@adchuvghj2159]

Limited slip diferential, mcperson upper mounts from m3 e36, acentric front wishbone bushings. You will fall in love with how the e46 drives after these modifications. if you are installing coilovers that only increase camber, consider turning them to increase the caster angle of the kingpin (caster)?

[@dil6969]

These generation BMWs are so tastefully designed inside and out, especially now that BMW's currently in their "how do you do, fellow kids?" phase. And when it comes to driving on track, good condition OEM parts will almost always be more reliable than an aftermarket hodgepodge, which I know now from my own experience modifying cars. Sreten setup this car well for learning how to drive fast, especially because soft suspension really helps feel weight transferring as each wheel is loaded and unloaded. If I could afford it, I'd love to restore an older BMW to his level of care.
