  How much respect this young man deserves for spending this huge time, effort and money restoring this masterpiece in these times when everything is designed to become obsolete and discarded after a few years? Mercedes Benz ancestors would be proud of you 🤗

  That German engineering and build quality on this generation of Benz is no joke. I admire your skill, patience and determination in bringing this back to life

  I call Streten from M539 "The BMW Whisperer". You will now be known as "The Mercedes Whisper"! Your wealth of knowledge for someone so young (looking...I don't know your age) is impressive. The reason I started watching M539 years ago was because he is so thorough in his pursuit of vehicle perfection (most automotive YouTube channels just slap shit together to get views) but you are definitely on another level. Keep up the quality of work you do and you'll be rewarded with loyal followers. Cheers from Toronto.

  Just a general comment. It used to be that the biggest problem with German cars was the higher cost of maintaining/renewing/restoring them. But new cars are so expensive now, and the engines on some of them are half made of plastic, and they require monthly software subscriptions for life (!!), that it is now much cheaper to renew a 15-20 year-old German car than to buy a new one. The old rules about when to replace a car are completely out the window. The manufacturers are not advertising this, obviously.

  You're insanely talented! You talk about that transmission like you've rebuilt 100 of them!

  Very satisfying! And interesting. I won't ever rebuild a automatic transmission, but it's cool to watch this beast of a car be restored! 👍

  I don’t know much about car transmissions, but the sound of parts clicking into their place is so satisfying

  When you're finished, this should be technically the best W140 in the world.

  This is a pure pleasure to watch. No stupid music. Just  dedication and work. Require a ton of hours to film, editing and such I imagine. Keep up the good work.
