Thank you for this, Josh. You’ve convinced me to get one of these (if not now, eventually). Not that I need a new project rn 😅 (only one of my 3 cars is barely running rn)

please can you do a e36 video whenever you can, I've been thinking of getting one and i would like to hear your opinion about that car

Some tips for the drivers side mount(the harder one) Turn your drivers side wheel outwards and take it off. Use a 17mm on a swivel extension with about 1-2 feet of extension length on it. Slide the extensions and the swivel down towards the engine mount, close to it but not on it. Then get underneath the car and look behind the drivers side wheel well. You should be able to see the socket sitting next to the engine mount and then you can guide it onto the nut with your fingers. Much easier than pulling the alternator assuming you have small enough hands.

Shit man I’m not even tryna buy an E34 rn and I’m still watching the full

When you do get to the fuel lines, you should do a tutorial!

The E36 M3 GT is actually an S50B30, so it is the early european 3.0l engine. In europe early M3s had a 3.0l engine making ~280hp, and later got the 3.2l S50B32 with over 300hp. USA got the S50B30US, the 3.0l engine with ~240hp and later on the S52B32 3.2l with the same 240hp

filming this when you should've been supporting your friends at fb is crazy

This one...or the Italian M3 320IS?

So much room in that engine bay, jealous. My 750iL is so cramped by comparison

Great Job man!

Best tip…Buy a W124…

My dad's best friend came from the bmw world with the car he has now (z3) and now he has a 348 ts and a 430 spider. Also I'm his kind of mechanic and we had some surprise with the light the cluster. Sometimes people remove the light when they don't want to see something expensive, so check your light in the dash

I love when people spend a shit ton of money on stock engines just to see what it's really capable of with good support and a proper setup. I pushed 450~whp on my stock B20 before the head gasket started letting go and breaking up after 6000rpm on full pulls. Just got rid of all my Honda stuff and really miss my E30, so now I'm boosting my M20B27.

love the og style videos

Neat! I always enjoy learning about new generations of BMW thanks for the knowledge. I am an E28 guy, I always forget the E34 is a classic now. Gosh my E28 is old.

*fluid film* with the hose & directional spray head! Stop the rust from eating your car! No more dinner for Mr rust monster!!😂😂

Josh always got the knowledge on lock 🔥💯🗣️

Love the videos! Bought a 95 e34 off you last March and I’ve been loving it as my daily driver. Recently am wheel shopping, and was wondering what wheels you run on the glacier blue e34? Also, what steering wheel hub adapter do you have on the calypso? Also looking for a new wheel lol

rod bearings or vanos for sure but leaning towards rod bearings with the towing statement

this video makes me want to buy an e34

i miss my E34 : (

Autos muy exelentes y su diseño lo mejor

If it had the S14 it would retain its value 😏

Daaaaaaaamn 1 hour of e34 knowledge...hell yea

Im in the middle of turboing an e36 i restored and looking at a 540i for a future project but the thought of a car with a lot less aftermarket support and just starting over with rust issues scares me

Thanks Josh, Very recognizable. Just had the fenders of my E34 B10 replaced (and therefore the entire front section, hood and doors resprayed) because of rust that was not visible on the outside. Found out that the lower left trim piece is NLA (right is still available) except for one last ‘new old stock’ on eBay that I had to buy despite the outrageous price the seller requested for it.😱 Some parts are more and more difficult to find nowadays.

One day i will buy this ❤

Every time I think about getting into a new project, always double down on my 95' 525I. Don't see them much anymore, especially a 5-speed. Want to keep it going no matter what.

Love these videos man.

I don't believe that it's mm of paint you are measuring.

Been waiting for this drop 😮‍💨🤌🏼

The sad thing is that most E34's are in far crappier condition than before, and people are asking way more money for them. Kinda sucks to see clapped auto 525i's for $4000 when decent manual ones used to be $1500, sigh.

Perfect timing , im about to inspect e34 520i with m20b20 in couple of days

for first car is it a good car ??

Great video yet again josh and what a perfect recipe combo i mean lets be honest these s54 engines are one of the best then stick one in a light chassis works its magic

This an exciting rebuild, very interesting to follow the progress

E30 with an S54 engine sounds like a treat! Man Josh you should buy a trailer there, make it an air bnb and be there on every vintage or just for the sake of planning driving ventures like these with other bimmer owner friends. Cool video mate 💪🏼 💪🏼

picked up a 540i a month ago and a manual swap for it, absolute blast these cars are to drive

If these are like the m62 valve covers they're magnesium and pit out insane. I just said f it and rtv'd the vc where the gasket sits, bought new rubber bushings and torque to spec...no leaks. I learned my lesson from over torquing the vc and had to a time cert on one of the front holes on the head.

Does the sword type of resistor also suffer from fires? It looks like a more sealed unit than the later ones so i was wondering if just cleaning that area and maybe changing blower motor itself would be enough without changing the sword itself to prevent fires because sword is expensive and hard to find

Josh - you're crazy.. Just kidding, cool car!

Very cool!!

Don’t sell it! This is a real classic right here. Congrats bro! Can’t imagine how crazy your first drive was.

Mine is almost done…. Almost

What subframe is under it? I also like the fact that it still running the mechanical fan

Exactly. I had a 2006 e46 m3 that was almost brand new condition with an SMG. After a month or so, realised just leaving it 3-5 mode and when changing gears using upgraded paddles (so, easy to change gears when steering) and drove it exactly like a manual just without using the clutch. Or just shifting with the shifter flick up or down (usually, when driving in the twisty roads at speed) Was a perfect car and predictable with all the electronic stability control etc turned off. Just decent suspension, upgraded breaks, and fat quality tyres. With maintenance done more often than necessary and lived in the garage. Miss it so much and when driving on unsealed twisty roads in hills of melbourne, had that thing able to slide and pull with precision without any interference from traction control. Plus, it really was a manual just without the clutch. When you take the foot off the brake, it doesnt roll forward. Just like a manual but doesnt stall. sigh I sold it as snapped my achilles playing bball and needed the coin after lost job and covid hit. Sold it for fkn $20k australian.. what a fool

I had a 2006 with 140,000km and sold it for $18k Australian in 2019. It was in mint condition.. but I felt generous as I had money at the time.... then snapped my achilles tendon, had surgery lost my job then COVID hit Melbourne. Since then life sucks hah fk me. I miss that car. I used to just turn it on in the garage at night to hear the engine to make me feel relaxed then go to bed. Such a weapon. As it's Australian/Euro it is better plus had all maintenance history. I had replaced all wearing parts, upgraded brakes and a few others. It had never seen rain... I also had sold my 1993 Nissan GTR V-Spec II for $20k Aud as I was in Canada studying and needed the money. I had imported it was a 5 star immaculate rating. I now drive a mazda 3 2007 with 200k.

This is pretty nice 👍 We did the opposite and yanked the S54 out of e46 M3 and slapped a N55 into it 🫡

Those roads around there are so nice. That’s the perfect car for the mountains.
