Car restoration has always been my passion and in this video i show you the process of buying a used car which the owner thought had a bad head gasket. In this case, the car is an abandoned BMW e39 5 series. I then show you how to test a car for a bad head gasket including how to do a combustion gas leak test, how to do a compression test and how to do a cylinder leak down test only to find that the car doesnt have a bad head gasket. However the car does have a misfire so i then show you how to diagnose a car misfire step by step including testing the short term fuel trims and how to use smoke to find a hidden vacuum leak in car, which is the cause of the misfire. After fixing the misfire, i then show you a few Satisfying Car Restoration sneak peeks of the upcoming restoration of the car.

Where will you advertise this car for sale?
You already know why this car is sitting abandoned in a garage. There's nothing more expensive than a cheap old used german car
The way he doing it, made it look too easy. But in reality only an mechanic or an experienced person can learn from this video & do it.
Heads up, one of the best channels I have watched. Excellent.
Even @M539restorations might learn something from this. And I'm pretty sure most mechanics in generic shops would not reach this level of expertise.
Best real content. I was looking for this. Thanks for putting in all the effort. Looking forward to more
Welcome back my friend, excellent content, very thorough!. Thank you !!
Your know how and time and effort is easily worth more than $2000! I think Id just buy the $5000 BMW and save the hassles. But: GREAT WORK!
Wow truly amazing work
And I loved naming the price for all the parts you used.
Thanks
Been maintaining my own cars for 30+ years, just learned so much more by watching this. Brilliant. Subscribed.
Whyyyyy do soo many guys take on BMW’s when they’re know to be such junk?
Wow incredibly presented and thorough
