Owning an old beemer is character building, but they are so much fun to drive when they are going!

6:32 Those front seats are STARVING for some leather conditioner. Would need at least 3 goes over to get them nice and supple. Still a very nice E34

rare to find someone givin a bit love to an old 530i, the m30b30 was in the shadows of the greater b35 his whole life , now after so much time, its finally a rare thingy, worthy to retaurate and hold. // have the same model/engine from 1988, greetings from Germany

Thats why I love that m5 3.8, and because of Giorgi Tevzadze, and I drewam about owning one, but registration in my country is rly expensive past 2.1L engines

Great video. Beautiful BMW 530i manual! Please restore a E21 323i or E12 M535i if the opportunity arises.

Thanks, hmm that’s a bit old for me! Even this E34 was really old by my standards

I have similar paint issues with my 1986 ae82 corolla, might give it a cut and polish and hopefully it'll fix the paint haha cheers mate for the idea

All good man yeah most cars will come up with a cut and polish if you try

You mentioned us Honda fans being disappointed. Yes i loved your Hondas but you always can bring something back. Id like to see some honda comparisons like you used to do with your Accords. Maybe compare your bmws to a modified Honda similar to your old ones. That'll be the best of both worlds. Your older videos and your new ones kinda put together

@markmcgrath90983 ай бұрын
Should be an interesting project. It’ll get under you skin, like fungus. Had my e34 touring almost 15 years now. Wish I hadn’t taken it off the road to fix it up, it’s a mongrel to get stuff sorted again after a year not running.
