Supercharging The Daily Driver - BMW E39 530i Touring - Project Rottweil: PT 8

We need more power! Keep it classy, keep it OEM takes a back seat in this episode as we put Infinitas Supercharger on the 530i. But how much power does it add? We do before/after drives and dyno.

The only problem with Sretens videos is that there's not enough of them 😄

[@thrashstronaut]

Wholly agree, but at the same time, I am so glad he is a "Quality over quantity" kind of guy.

[@kurtrusellpatrickswayze]

Facts!!!

[@FluePeak]

​@@thrashstronautYeah i get more enjoyment watching 1h episodes than seeing a episode every week that is 10 min long.

[@ashliehiggins]

After watching most of them last week that's very true.

[@imjus1guy]

The only prob with sretan is that he dosn't have a evil twin. Oh wait!!😁

[@maxmitx201]

Something I wouldn’t have awaited in 100 years. Sreten installing something related to tuning and then it is a freakin supercharger. Man what a time to be alive.

[@SteveBMX01]

Even more proof that tastefully modified is better than stock.

[@Kernwaffe88]

Alex from legitstreetcars approves this mod 😂

[@sanyey8405]

Next step: FINALLY including legendary iron block M57 diesels, and tuning related to them into the series (especially as most BMW-s are hugeass diesels, and known for being that...)

veritas was a suplier to alpina sooooo.. sort of oem lol

[@Pentazemin44]

yeah the channel is slowly drifting in the "meh" direction

[@j.d.8593]

Is more like OEM+, basically a "budget" Alpina.

[@CheezeCracker]

Let the man play, he's been wrenching relentlessly for us for years. Plus he's got some track time he wants to get in occasionally. All good content and if it blows up, more good content.

[@yugo4576]

It's so satisfying to see more and more companies recognizing Sreten's work and getting on board. Now, we should all work harder and tell everyone we know about this man and get his channel to 500k subs which he deserved long time ago!

[@jimtaylor431]

It amazes me he hasnt crossed 500k already frankly. The content is top tier.

[@alexsmith2171]

I cannot express my gratitude for what you show us on this particular project. You began this not long after I bought my first E39, which just happens to be a touring. It started life as a 520i and I have since thrown that lump away and replaced it with M54B30. Every step you have taken and presented has mirrored either what I have, am, or will do to this car. Thank you for the brilliant content and for being the reason I bought the best cars I have ever owned.

[@ssanford]

I never get tired of watching you short or long. It doesn’t matter.

You caught it! I had the same feelings about it.

[@legioner9]

This bimmer is very, very pretty. Everything is just NICE. The gorgeous timeless design, the colour, the interior, the wheels, the headlights and tail lights. That engine is a thing of beauty, it is what defines BMW. Fast, aggressive, sporty, yet elegant cars. You do well, Sreten 😎

[@patsyypatsyy6458]

This video needs be 73 minutes longer

[@patrickodonnell2194]

Sreten, I see you attack each platform as if you have no fear or concern. You act as if you already know absolutely everything you could possibly find good or bad. I have many friends who are mechanics by trade and they after many years still do not possess the level of confidence you exhibit. You already know the strengths and weaknesses of each variant and sub-variant. You show us armchair mechanics that indeed our favorite marquee does not require an advanced degree in physics to maintain or upgrade our vehicles. Thank you for what you do and for bringing us along with you. I for one am deeply indebted to you. Keep up the excellence.

[@disrealnow9664]

This kit should really have an intercooler. Otherwise the harder you run the slower you go.

[@lolish1234]

At such low boost it's not much of an issue + its more convenient (and common) to run meth injection paired with these superchargers because there's not much room for piping. There is however room for piping if you go the turbo route

[@patrickhumpfer3790]

He needs a watercooled intercooler than he will not lose boost with long ways.@@lolish1234

[@mlgmounted9599]

@@lolish1234 i mean, exactly in the case of Supercharger it really matters a lot, hot air or cooled, because it delivers not so much of it (hot especially), if compared to Turbocharger, thats why you see dyno numbers are so different when the car is hot and cool, with turbo it wont be That much of a difference

[@carlosoruna7174]

and a cold air intake..

[@D3nn1s]

​@@mlgmounted9599i bet to differ about that "turbo doesnt matter as much" lol

The best youtube automotive channel that never fails to put a smile on smile on my face! Great work Sreten

[@JatsaMotors]

I’ve watched Streten for a couple of years now and finally decided to join Patreon. In my opinion it’s so worth to get the early access to videos and I regret that I didn’t join Patreon sooner 😄 As for the video it was interesting as always and I’m really looking forward for the manual swap 👍

[@spud8385]

I'm not even fussed about the early access even though it's nice, I joined Patreon because I use an ad blocker and there's no way I'm not supporting this brilliant channel!

[@tjackman]

This project really will be complete with a six speed, intercooler and a bigger pulley. Fantastic video as always!

[@caio2306]

smaller pulley!! Bigger one would decrease boost. We dont want less boost :-D

[@tjackman]

@@caio2306 you're totally right! My roots as a turbo guy are showing...

[@MrCrvilla]

What about a wider exhaust to improve temp?

[@denzo8805]

The man who changed youtube.. 🎉

[@grahamdunn8292]

Alpina have always said the most important thing is cooling in all areas - air intake, oil, water etc - thats how they get their power.

[@denniscarreno5882]

I have no idea what you’re doing …but I find very relaxing watching your videos…..you’re the best Streten

[@2matuls]

I love how Sreten is making a "Daily driver". Love your videos Sreten! Appreciate that you finally get recognized in the automotive KZbin community and got some screen time on AutoAlex channel. :)

[@DashDrones]

Thanks dude, love this E39 touring. Has to be one of the greatest all round cars of all time👍

[@ChristopherBristol]

Honestly I was never a huge fan of the 5 series (aside from the M5 that is) but after watching your series on this 530 i really leaned into wanting a wagon again and i've found a Toledo blue on black 525i touring that these videos are like a guide of very nice upgrades to install. keep up the good work!

[@callumw8719]

I have the same kit fitted to my 330ci Clubsport 6 speed! The heat soak ruined it for me so I fitted an air to air intercooler, smaller pulley and converted to MAP sensor. Coupled with a 3.38 blackline LSD, it’s definitely livened it up! Intake temps are now always close to ambient.

[@jimtaylor431]

Just what I needed on a dreary Tuesday morning! Can't wait for this one :-) I feel reassured in my thoughts watching the autobahn pulls that it didn't seem, honestly, THAT much quicker and the results on the dyno show how badly you're being affected with high intake temps. Definitely will benefit hugely from an intercooler if that's a route you choose to go down.

[@derMaex]

This conversion is crazy. I daily drive an E39 528i, so i can relate to the shown accerelation, and the compressor does crazy work!

[@rolandszap5867]

I had both and I must say - the B30 engine is waaaay better, because it gives you the power after 5,5k rpm wheres in 528i it was starting to lose the torque.

[@tupuxinguili]

I like the retrofit videos and also the “keep it oem” videos. It is always a pleassure to sit back, relax and enjoy watching your videos.

[@tonynicholson2789]

Absolutely fantastic 👍 what a professional dedicated person you are! I just love watching your videos and learning about How these engines work.

[@melaninxhalide1165]

I’m not used to this short-in-length episode, but this was fire! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@stephenlong5065]

This is a surprise to see you fitting aftermarket stuff to your car after your strong views on keeping cars in stock condition !

[@M539Restorations]

I daily drove a stock e39 530i for a long time and want a change. Most importantly, it simply needs more power for the Autobahn. Everything stays stock except for the engine.

[@turkum1915]

Sreten, you're one of the few ones where I watch every second!! 💪

[@josephandreuccetti7270]

We need more channels on KZbin as good as this I’m so glad I found this channel

[@TheAa2000]

Lovely work Sreten! Very cool to see the whole supercharger installation on the 530i. Is the watercooled intercooler on the main coolant circuit? Will it require a stronger waterpump due to extra flow resistance?

[@bread235]

My god, I hope you'll eventually get misha to take this around the ring. Your work is truely remarkable Streten and I hope to see more of these OE+ upgrades you give to these old gems

[@nikolakurjakovic2188]

[@mohammedeldresi9241]

Really underrated channel

[@craelectronics]

Interesting build. I notice some changes in your videos recently. You spend less time in showing the disassembly :-/ It is now more of a ripping apart which makes it more difficult to see how it is being done properly without breaking everything. It actually feels a bit of a rush and stresses me. I enjoyed the calmness of the older videos more. That being said, the step away from keep it OEM is of course your decision and 90+% of the enthusiast community will love it, so definitely a wise move to keep the channel growing. However, personally I am not the biggest fan of leaving OEM. This orange pipe looks fugly and the new airfilter is a joke. Sreten of the old days might have spayed the pipe matt black installed a proper filter and hide it away by modifying the original box - but of course I get it, the build is not finished on that, so I am curious how it proceeds. And please tell us more about the Alpina gearbox software for us folks who have a similar gearbox but prefer to avoid bigger mechanical surgeries to improve it. As interesting it is to see the mods on project Frankfurt and Rottweil, I hope we continue to see also some bone stock restaurations, which I would also hope for the Alpina B10V8S belonging to. That one is so rare, that it would be a shame to see its spec changed from how it was build by Alpina when new.

[@marvinvisser5039]

I wouldn't swap it 6 speed manual but 8hp gearbox with custom TCU ;) Much more unique and can have clutch by wire! Planning to do this with my e39 540.

[@Black2KGSR]

But why?

[@urbanjungle9600]

i love how this channel has evolved from not only showcasing the extraordinary talents (and humour) of Sretan, but also highlighting the amazing engineering and craftsmanship of small specialist manufacturers who share a similar passion in motoring.

Sreten, this was a great video! I really enjoyed seeing this, knowing that this kit met your level of meticulousness. When you got it completed, you identified the next part to modify - the gearbox. I can't wait to see the swap to the 6 speed manual. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes.

[@kornar]

Just recently found your Channel and love to see you restoring an E39! E39 driver from Wetzlar, Hessen here. I also have two E39s, maintenance helps with the cars, oh wonder, with everything. Both were neglected cars I bought for fairly cheap, but not such a steal as yours. Now both are also completely dry, no leaks... And the steering wheel doesn't shake and the brakes don't wobble. That is indeed possible if you look after these cars. But the 530i unfortunately eats 300-500 ml of oil per 1,000 km, and was probably mistreated by the previous owner for 200,000 km. It's probably due for a complete engine overhaul soon, as I'm not happy with the way it runs cold. Nothing has happened visually yet, everything else has priority. I drove it 30.000 km in a year as my daily without major issues and not a single breakdown after taking care of it. The conversion to the manual gearbox makes sense, I think the automatic is only designed for 350 nm and there are already up to 325 nm of torque available. I would also be interested in the conversion, even though as a daily driver I am not at all averse to the automatic. We will try to technically overhaul the automatic if it should be necessary and when we get the parts, as I have someone at hand that already has experience with other torque converter transmissions from BMW. Keep up the great work!

[@jacktharippares]

Really cool project! I had a 520i with a 525 engine in it. Had to replace the 520i engine as it started smoking and ticking. Didn’t really like the m54 engine. It had a healthy compression and brand new ccv but still consumed loads of oil. Switched to an e60 with the n52 engine and never looked back. E34 and e60 are my favorite 5 series so far and I own both ❤
