This is a thread about M539 restorations, not maintenance advice - there are specific areas of the forum for that. You won't get better advice here than there, because we're all active everywhere on the forum and not just in this thread. Your post is off topic here, because it's not specifically about M539.

Welcome to the forum this is how forums work. Got to stay on topic or it's just a mess.

It is not off topic simply because you claim it to be.

He has done work specifically pertaining to the e46 platform, across two different series. He has also done fuel system related work in multiple series. Given that this thread is full of fans of his videos, videos that include the aforementioned types of series, I deem it perfectly reasonable that more avid fans or wrenching enthusiasts would have the knowledge to be able to answer my question.

This thread is not solely dedicated to commentary upon recent videos. I say that as a very long-time fan of M539Restorations since pre-Covid, when he had under 1,000 subscribers. It is, genuinely, about community engagement.

Then I'd suggest you PM him via his screen name. That might give you a direct answer or via Youtube since there is a way to contact the content maker on there. Just a thought.

[QUOTE=Ambrozie;32419295]Fellas, I need some help.

I just picked up a 2001 BMW E46 325I, with only 11,000 miles on the clock. It has been sitting for 12 years. How would I go about siphoning out or removing the old fuel in the system?

I would watch his videos and see how he drains the fuel systems.

Fun watch, oddly enough it was kind of sad to see the old dojo completely empty. End of an era.

Good watch, I'm actually enjoying the Benz content. A welcome visitor to the kingdom of broken BMWs.

As an aside, I know there's a few of us that watch EMS Garage too. New video just went up there too, good reminder of why I'll never buy a VAG product.

The Audi didn't seem so bad, but yes it certainly had some issues that were caused by crappy design or lack of testing. Aluminum doesn't belong on parts that see that much movement and stress!

EMS makes me nervous sometimes, small stuff, like putting those plates on blindly at the end, at the back of the engine after the heads were put back together. I feel like there's no way I could do that and not bump something, lose some gasket material, and have a leak. He might succeed of course, I'm not knocking his abilities, but personally I'd be going so slowly and deliberately with some things he just cruises through. Whatever though, it's a fun watch.

random question, but all these random Liqui Moly products that Sreten uses are mostly not available for sale in US right? I never see Liqui Moly automotive products for sale anywhere here other than Oil or Oil additives.

There's quite a bit of their stuff on Amazon. I don't see it much locally, though (not at all honestly).

He's certainly not quite as thorough as Sreten, but like you said it's a fun, cathartic watch.
