We are rejuvenating this rare '90s BMW 850CSi finished in Santorini blue, and it's been a battle every step of the way. The rear wheel steering, aka AHK, for which the parts are obsolete, is broken, and we need to fix it, whichever way possible. We dive deeper into the AHK system, but more problems crop up along the way.

Somewhere in Germany a nephew is showing the wrestling match with the solenoid to their grandpa that engineered it and he's having a blast.
Sreten how dare you posting such long and amazing video so late?! I need to work tomorrow!
"...coked up engineers from the 90s." I can't think of a better way of putting it!
WTH? Where’s the air compressor repairs? This is about cars? 😜
Chris is goated. He has the brains, the muscles, the elite machining skills...
Machine shop Chris is an absolute hero!
Oil leaks, on a BMW? First I've heard of it.
HE'S BACK. THANK GOD. I needed M539 after the week I have had.
That's not a car, that's an emotional rollercoaster
Sreten: “Damn. Need to drop the subframe” Subscribers: “Yeah! He needs to drop the subframe!”
What exactly are your plans for the E31? Will it stay at bimmerworld, or are you planning to take it back to the Autobahn where it belongs?
New drinking game: whenever Streten says “There we go” or “That’s it” you have to drink. I am going to be so fucked up.
We can’t make this car anymore complicated…. Bavarian engineers: Hold my Weissbier 🥹! Great video 👍
Really the last chance for us ordinary mechanics, hats off to the professor, wonderful work
I will remember Bimmerworld’s good will when I make my next parts order.
The AHK work was what I was looking forward to the most 👌
You can‘t post a video on my wedding anniversary, now I am in big trouble
After an exceedingly crap day, this was therapy. Thank you.
dam that sun roof's operation was remarkably fresh
Super gratifying to see men just working together and achieving greatness. I celebrated with you guys when the solenoid came off. Well done chaps.
