As a reader of Jalopnik, you are certainly familiar with the concept of Project Car Hell. That’s the special place you go when buying a great but unreliable car.
Of course, there’s Project Car Hell, and then there’s the purchase of a suspiciously cheap BMW Alpina B7 E65 from another continent, which is a whole other thing that I don’t think they have a name yet. This is where Youtuber Sreten is absolutely amazing M539 . recovery channel recently discovered herself, but unlike the rest of us, Sreten has the time, talent, and absolutely no financial sense to peruse the project.
The “Project Chicago” video series (coming to an end) has seen some of the biggest peaks and valleys of any project car I’ve ever heard of, with many engines rebuilt over a period of time. months, but seeing the big, black Alpina car move under its own power has given me a new level of appreciation for the most hated 7-series.
So set aside 12+ hours to watch the entire series, prepare for some dad jokes, and enjoy more automotive influences than you can shake some BMW driveshaft.
