Today, we take a first look and drive with this beautiful Glacier Blue E34 535i. This car is a 1990 model, has had just 2 owners, and currently sits at about 231k miles! Our friend Mark tasked us with giving the car a full look over, fixing some things, and possibly getting it ready to list for sale! I'm very excited to do some work on this car, and share the process with you!
Thanks for watching the video, and check out The Bimmer Barn to help support our channel by grabbing some merchandise :)

E34 dashes don’t tend to crack. They’re built that way

Styling 5 (or BBS RC90) rims in 17 inch are the best looking wheels for the e34 and e39 models, imho. Great car your friend Mark got there, hope to see more of it.

If that Alpina B7 has been owned in Alabama, I think I’ve done some interior work on it! If so, it’s absolutely an immaculate vehicle!

Saw a similar E34 for sale in Tarpon and heavily considered buying it. Assuming it is this one, I’m happy it went on to someone who appreciates it!!

The door delaminating was a horrible issue on e34’s when BMW went to a non solvent based glue. BMW would comp one set of cards, but, that was it. The second set delaminated as well. If you can find an e34 M5 parts car, the full leather door cards do not delaminate. I found a car in Canada and was able to swap all cards. The car had a grey leather interior, the door cards were black leather. It gave the car an interesting two tone interior that was very attractive. I loved that car, but, it was totaled in an accident.

I took the electrical activator out of my back doors on one of my E34s... they were seized and I don't use the back doors too often, so they are manual locking now hehe. Also, if changing out the door panels, it can be smart to get some facelift door panels, as they apparently hold up a lot better, switched my ruined door panels in my 88 model for ones from a 94 model a couple days ago, their made a little different and hold up better from what I've seen and what I've been told.

I repaired my actuators, it's just electric motors, 2 of them at there which seize. And that happens because that runner boot goes for bad so the water gets in. I installed like -91 onwards style cover on top of that actuator for to dodge the water if rubber boot ever fails. I had never actuators too, but they don't go on older doors.

When you pull the Bonnet puller, the Bonnet should pop forwards & upwards . If not, Clean & Grease the parts / or Replace the bonnet Struts. ( the Pencil size units that flip the bonnet & hold it open. ) ESSENTIAL 1st Job for SAFETY when working under the bonnet / Hood )

Great looking car. I like the look of the e34 better than the e39 but everything else on the e39 is better! An m62tu and 6 speed swap would be sweet.

Haha welcome to our community! I'm glad you think so highly of the content. I'm hoping with continued hard work, more people will take notice of the channel and be inspired/taught how to fix up their own BMW's! If you would, liking the videos makes a huge difference to "the algorithm" and I'd really appreciate it! Thanks for commenting Marcus 🙏

Hi my name is John and I have a question to ask you. Well I have a BMW 735i and I was trying to get my windows to work but don't know what module that works the windows and it is a 1992 car so which one of the modules in the back seat area is bad to change out to fix that problem if you can help fix that problem and I am a mechanic worked on all kinds of cars before so I'm pretty good in what I do . But some care are different and you do need help at some time

Where did you get replacement door panels for the blue interior I’ve been looking for a passenger door one for five years now
@TheBimmerBarn
@TheBimmerBarn 3 жыл бұрын
Hunting at the local junkyards! The door panels I found are actually black/anthracite, but I'm thinking they're going to look much better than the original door cards. The black is a bit faded, and can always be re-dyed to match the interior easily.

Real shame with the interior, the indigo blue only came on some earlier models and are decently rare, got an early model with the same interior color, just cloth, its mint, but doesn't have the awesome armrests on the seats, its easy to after mount, done it before, can get armrests I have reupholstered in the correct color, but need the blue back chair cover with space for the armrest in the blue color...

At 230,000 miles ~That Car should be Like NEW. Check the History to see if its not Double that mileage. it looks lie 500,000 miles & the other 230,000 ? People Clock the mileage or disconnect the speedo often on Quality cars. at 230,000 miles there should be almost ZERO wear to be seen. BMW DO NOT Make cars that Wear out.

Might match, it's the age too. I have 535i also. And it's not about the mileage anyway on old car like this, you need to inspect the condition also. This seems for nice individual if the interior does not count in :)
