  Obligatory praise to Kris.<br><br>Sreten planned these videos to make content, and bimmerworld gets promotional material - but Kris just seems to have randomly ended up in these videos and seems like an absolutely wonderful person.

  It&apos;s a bit silly to say, but the AHK working was only the <i>second</i> most hype moment of the video for me (and it was one hell of a hype moment). Top moment has to go to Kris turning up with those inserts for the oil cap. Just such a cool and incredibly sweet thing to do, especially umprompted. The world is better off for having people like Kris in it.

  Sreten, I was the guy that had you sign my Imola Red E39 M5. I was not lying you are my absolute hero. I am a technician that works on Toyota&apos;s and BMW&apos;s for the government. I have never been so nervous in my life to meet anyone. You really are my hero. It was such a pleasure to meet you. I wish I could have nerded out with you about BMW&apos;S. I was supposed &nbsp;to meet up with my girlfriend that day before deployment but she literally told me to go meet my hero.......so I did. I wrench for a living but I restore BMW&apos;S for the love of the game. You are an absolute legend. I thank you for all that you do and for signing my hotwheels car. Seriously never been that nervous in my life but meeting you was a check in my bucket list. Always fan and always &nbsp;will be. Your fellow technician &quot;D&quot;

  We love seeing these videos to relive the process of bringing it back to life, but we hate that it means our time with Sreten and this beautiful E31 is getting closer and closer to an end. &nbsp;BUT...as always, this will not be the last project we assist Sreten with! &nbsp;Bring on the next perfectly neglected BMW!!!

  Im glad you were able to speak with Steve. &nbsp;I met him in 2004 when he would bring it to the BMW dealership that I worked for. &nbsp;The first time I saw it I thought &quot;who painted this 850CSi&quot; because I didnt know this color was available lol. &nbsp;I was so sad to see the condition this car was in when you found it. &nbsp;It was spotless when I would see it back then. &nbsp;You did an amazing job bringing this car back to life!

  2 huge moments - getting the AHK to work, and Kris showing up with the oil caps. Amazing work!

  The happiest noise I&apos;ve heard in years was when Sreten saw the rear wheel steering work. &nbsp;I, myself, woke my wife up on the couch with a WHOOP!
