    sreten, I saw part 6 today; I was pretty sure you were going to yell out that the trim on the bottom of the front passenger door had been glued on by the previous owner; but you managed to get it off! The metal repair job on the inside of the rear bumper by a previous owner isn't too surprising given all of the other oddities you have come across. Great videos!

    Given all of the blood, sweat and tears that you have put into restoring this car, I hope this is something you plan on holding onto for a while. I liked seeing the pictures from the Nürburgring and I see you made a stop at Apex.

    Others on this forum have mentioned the idea of putting together an E38 2021 calendar; I think pictures from your project dubai restoration project could be its own calendar!

    This has been a great series to watch. I'm not sure what I appreciate more, your attention to detail, or your sense of humor. Either way, I know I'll be watching these again as they'll be useful for some of the projects I have queued up for my e38. Keep up the great work!

    Great job on the cluster pixel fix. I now know where to source the parts. Thanks!

    Thanks for all of the comments, fellas!

    I didn't report in a while on here. The final episode of project Dubai is out!



    What a struggle this has been, but man does it look pretty now.

    I wouldn't sell it, after seen all the work you put into it.

    Excellent photos! Per our conversation earlier, I will definitely be adding them to the calendar vote and I am absolutely sure they will do fantastically.

    Excellent work as always. I love seeing a notification from your channel pop up.

    Maybe the best example in the world of the best sedan ever made. I wouldn't be able to sell it... Well done!

    Excellent video as usual! And I concur, not sure I would be able to sell it.

    One thing I have wondered... why do you produce your content in English? Larger audience?

    Perhaps I have mistakenly assumed you are a native german?

    Wow, what a ride it's been. It was a pleasure watching your progress with Dubai and seeing the finished result. Really great work on this and the other projects you have showcased on your channel. I hope it isn't too long before another e38 shows up in your yard though!

    You sir are a legend and a gentleman. Thank you for sharing the tremendous journey and having the vision to know that there would be a ton of us passionately watching your progress and cheering for your success. Your attention to detail is admirable. I was smiling to myself as you cleaned the E38 when the rear bumper was removed.... Love it. Thank you again.
