Howdy, folks!

Part 5 of project Karlsruhe has landed! We service the brakes in this one and replace aftermarket wheels with beautiful Style 4 wheels. 

Took me a while to make this video, sprucing up brake calipers is an unexpectedly time-consuming process.
I was also on a short vacation (5 days) in Malaga with my girlfriend, I've been working full steam since the beginning of the year and needed a little break. I love Malaga.
After that, I had my girlfriend's parents visiting so that too contributed to the video taking a bit longer to make, but it's here now. 

In other news, project  Skovde, the E39 M5 is supposed to arrive tomorrow but still waiting on confirmation. Going to do an inspection on it once it arrives so expect a video on that soonish. And a new project is in the works! It's in Belgium, just need to find the time to go and see it, but I know you'll love it!

Thank you!

Thanks for the update Streten! You have to enjoy your life and have fun. You work very hard so you deserve a little break every now and then.

Thank you Sreten! Always take the time to take a break - we want you to stay safe and healthy!

Only a few seconds, for us??? It seems like it’s been ages! But it’s exciting to see the new post! Great choice on the new wheels, very Alpina like

Goddamn Streten, that change of wheels makes it look so much better! Also, I think your painting style was more a la Bob Ross than Picasso’s, otherwise those calipers would’ve come out looking vastly different.🤣🤣. Great job as ever my friend, can’t wait to see the next release!

Glad to see you are okay my friend! I missed new video :)

Well done on making even servicing brakes entertaining! :)

I was having withdrawal symptoms for not seeing your video for so long.

Ahhh the sweet sound of high-pitched screeching... I missed you Sretan.

The calipers came out amazing, gonna try that paint myself. Next to the battery in the E32 is a pretty big set of cables that are connected via a metal plate looking thingy. On my car that connection was loose and that caused my windows to stop working, and the central locking to not work anymore. Might be worth to check that.

Yeah, that's the fusible link. Gonna check it, on forums that seems to be the most common cause. Thanks

Great video and nice wheels! Perfect fit for the E32. The only thing i cannot unsee: the rear looks more narrow compared to the front.

Where did project Dubai go?

Can't wait until you fix the DS Seat, too. So distracting in the vids. lol

Since you got support from Falken I was wondering why you went for Michelin "slippers" for this project but I guess it's due to long time shooting.. Still a super cool project, wish to hear that silky smooth cold start of that V12 in person <3
