    Revival of a Diamond black 850i 6-speed - Garage find (video)

    Hi fellas,

    I went on another 8er rescue mission in Spain. It's a beautiful slicktop with 3 pedals that's been unloved for good 16 years. Many issues as a result but hopefully she comes back to life!

    Great video and love that you pay attention to a lot of the small details to get these beautiful e31’s to their formal glory! Love the history behind this slicktop!

    Sreten- Best 45 minutes I've spent in recent memory. Great video and you are funny- I only wish replacing my intake gaskets / valve cover gaskets went that quickly! ha ha ha
    Most Excellent-

    Sreten - Just saw that Road & Track and news outlet MSN are talking about your Part 2 video. You are a celebrity! Here is the link:

    Thanks everyone so much!! Much appreciated!

    The video is doing great, I didn't expect a lot of people would have patience to sit through 45 min video but views proved me wrong. It has over 2.000 comments and all of them are positive which is just overwhelming.

    Henryc, thanks for the link! I didn't see them before, that's so cool! Can't believe how well the video was received overall, I'm speechless.
