tbh, these are my favorite episodes, that accurately capture the experience of keeping an old performance car in good shape. The project car life means endlessly chasing down little faults and problems, learning new fabrication skills, making deals for parts in sketchy back alleys, etc, etc. It's not all flashy bodywork, hot mods and screaming dyno sessions. But it's worth it, because these cars are special in a way that new cars are not.
I like the updates on previous builds. I become somewhat invested in them and want to know what breaks and what modifications are being done to improve/maintain them.
Definitely enjoying the BMW content and revisiting past project cars to keep them running. Sounds like it needs a blower motor resistor next. I don't have the time or use case for a steering box equipped BMW, but living vicariously through your build is a lot of fun!
A couple tips on the HVAC system. The fan speeds are controlled by a resistor that commonly fails. It's very easy to replace. The AC may be blowing hot due to the the electrically actuated blend valve being stuck. That's also a very easy fix (or at least it was on my '95 540i).
I love the updates on the older builds. As a BMW owner (x2) the new problems and deep breaths are part of the adventure. Pete's love/frustration of the bimmer is so accurate. Great stuff, Gents!
Really appreciate both the follow up on previously completed builds, and the E34 M5 content as a whole. The first episode was a great resource for me as I also own one of these cars. A lot of the old forum info is long gone and detailed video like yours about servicing the intake system is invaluable.
Watching this and listening to you two driving it gives me all the feels of my own E34 M5. By far the most fun hobby car I’ve had. And a sweet daily. Sold it and still regret it. Great content all around !
Love seeing performance channels being responsible by adding cat back on to a car with a straight exhaust. Thanks for giving us responsible performance.
Another short but sweet video series. I'm happy to see you guy bringing back classic driver's cars to factory/oem. Props for the wheel choice I'd stick with those over the previous models. If it were me after that awesome engine compartment clean I'd do something with that coolant overflow tank. Oh... and thanks for bringing this rebuild series to us!
The silver works so well for this car, and the wheels are also just spot on. Often times I feel silver cars just disappear, yet this one stands out. Liking this one.
Started watching your channel from the Mod My Car series. Quick builds. So definitely enjoy 2-3 episode reclamation projects. Keep mixing them in with the other awesome builds!
She deserves a Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 46 DAB, I put one in my E34 M5 and it matches perfectly, looks like the original and has a super solid bluetooth connection. You can also dial the backlight color in to match exactly!
Excellent series. Love the E34. I find the steering to have a lot of play on center but was told it’s normal for these cars with steering box. Would be interested to her your thoughts. Keep up the good work!
Excellent video and series, great work with the content, keeping a car running is what real world car ownership is all about, especially if you want to keep it for a long time. Appreciate the effort, cheers.
Pete:r "the trim was 300$ per side, expennsive stuff!" Me: *thinks back to the XJ Cherokee I had with that 1300$ window trim* Love the E34 and E39 you have are a true man of culture. About that AC problem, make sure that the cabin filter and housing are clean especially the space below the filter, the AC is OK but certainly not Desert capabable.
Reminds me of the BMW 750IL used in the 007 movie: Tomorrow Never Dies. 90s-00s era cars were the best! BMW has the best wheel designs. Amazing build as every single car in this garage. 👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻
If you decide to install factory catalytic converters in the future you can reach out. I have a set sitting for years when i had upgraded my entire exhaust on my M5. Condition is fair but I’d donate them to you guys !
Love the BMW content. Keep bringing them back and mixing in with the new builds. Of course, as a huge BMW and Honda/Acura fan, I may be a bit biased with my opinion…
Love the M Parallel wheels. I have two sets for my Bimmer and I feel that they are one of the best style of wheels BMW has made. I feel though that the M-System/Turbine/Throwing stars fit the E34 M5 body style better in this case. Can't go wrong with either though
Pretty sure the final stage resistor is the culprit for your blower issue. The engine bay looks magnificent but for the final touch you should replace the paint code sticker.
I love my Titanium Silver over Napa Black leather E46 M3, and every time I see this car, I feel a longing to obtain the big brother. Great content and thanks for keeping this car in the rotation.
The BMW is looking good. Pete doesn't know how powerful those finger snaps are. When he snapped his finger to change the lights it also changed his shirt. Dave might need to ease up on the BMW ribbing, because who knows what Pete might do with those snap powers. 🙂
Love a short series like this one. Maybe we could've gotten 3 episodes to actually "perfect" the car. But yeah, seeing cars come back and get a few easy mods here and there that improve the driving experience. These mods are also way more relatable for us, so there's that appeal.
PT - that sealant you put upstream on the exhaust could damage your new cats - a metal gasket would be the way to go. Love the channel and superb content 🙂
So the fan speed control not working on 1-3 is a resistor pack that put a different resistors for the lower speeds and does without a resistor for the 4 speed. Just change the resistor pack in the firewall near the middle if i remwmber correctly. Should be a fairly quick job
The fan problem will be the fan resistor under the dash. They're worth checking even if they work properly as leaves can clog up around it and it can be a massive fire risk. I ended up replacing mine in my 525i as it wad badly corroded.
Pete running to the back of his bimmer to smell exhaust fumes made for some pull my finger jokes. Great to follow along as always though, and as others said, it is cool that you go back to previous builds.
Love your content…enjoyed tagging along for the M’s revival…really enjoy the build series stuff…would be nice to see updates on the projects as you add mileage to them. I understand BMWs are your jam Pete but would be nice to see other makes featured a little more prominently. Ie: what can you do with a C5/C6 or other America performance daily driver?
Im pretty sure the blower fan resistor is blown as the fan will still work on full blast but not on lower speeds......theyre a bit of a fire risk!!!.......love this car and wouldnt wanna see it go up in flames!!
Let’s be real….. it’s not wheel spinning in the rain cuz it lacks power lol but still cool project done! Thanks for sharing the issues and fixing them from the 1st series.

No they're not
The headlamp swap was the right choice for sure 👍

Would love to see periodic updates and fixes on this build. This is such a nice build and a unique bmw.
I love the e34 I bout a 540i and that’s the only one I drive
I like how you guys bring back some of the previous builds. Keep up the great work!

Poor Pete and his BMW addiction. Someone stage an intervention for this man!
If a BMW is a crippling cigarette addiction, then what would be an appropriate nicotine patch for Pete? A Merc AMG?
He's alright, Pete's addiction level is only 5/10 compared to M539 Restorations lol. 😂
@@SilverScarletSpider as some who aligns with Pete, AMG will not scratch the itch.
But hey, they’ll never run out of content!
It's nice to see builds come back. Nothing is ever 100% done. Keep up the good work! Excited for the future builds like the RX-7 and S15.

Sreten would be proud
Those Wheels look perfect for the M5. It is meant to be
The throwing star wheels are the nicest on these M5’s in my opinion… these would make good winter wheels
The other ones were not bad looking either surely keep them for latter as a full set of spares..
love seeing this car back i think all your cars are worthy and im sure other people wouldnt mind them coming back
The Steve Dinan episodes of the smoking tire podcasts are absolutely INCREDIBLE! I highly recommend every single one of them.

I love seeing the cars over again and progress!

Glad you re-waxed the underside… I see so many TH-camrs just blast… they will regret it in 18 months when it all rusts badly.
Unless you live in the south US lol
@@ChristopherBristol as long as you are long way from the coast and never go there then yes 👍
@@jamest5149 fair point, I'm in Dallas,TX and I've got cars that sit outside all day everyday no rust :)

Love to see updates on "old" builds. It's more realistic than continuos new car/new build. Love the E34!
The silver works so well for this car, and the wheels are also just spot on. Often times I feel silver cars just disappear, yet this one stands out. Liking this one.
love the attention to detail Pete! Really enjoy seeing the evolution of a build over time and not just 1 and done. Great stuff Speed Academy
Really disappointed you didn’t start the car and rev it with the pipes cut.
Thats like a right of passage.
The new wheels are awesome. The car is starting to look like it should. Amazing! Thanks for rescuing another one from the crusher!
I enjoy these videos. It gives a realistic approach to buying these cars, as they require constant maintenance.
It is always great to see you working on old BMWs. There is so much to do😉.
Please more of those...
Love this car. Simple, fun, clean and nostalgic. Great episode!

Just needs the amber corner lights now.
THANK YOU FOR NOT FORGETTING ABOUT THIS CAR
Definitely a good call on the headlights. The car is a beaut!!!!
Both looking good but hey he is the owner to decide which one to keep on the car and which to keep as spare.. ;0)
The only bmw I ever owned was a 1994 M5 with the 3.8. What a glorious engine and what I think is one of the best looking sedans ever.
Those wheels are awesome! They are so clean, and say performance and custom in a very understated yet classy way.
She deserves a Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 46 DAB, I put one in my E34 M5 and it matches perfectly, looks like the original and has a super solid bluetooth connection. You can also dial the backlight color in to match exactly!
Plan is to get a blaupunkt eventually. They are the perfect match for that era car
Throwing stars are still the best for this era IMO. Car looks amazing Pete!
E34 is one of my favorite cars of all time. Hope you keep at it.
i didn't even know the old headlights weren't OEM, nice to see this wrapped up and running well! always liked the old M5, but never ridden/driven
Excellent series. Love the E34. I find the steering to have a lot of play on center but was told it’s normal for these cars with steering box. Would be interested to her your thoughts. Keep up the good work!
Yes they are sloppy. I just tightened the adjustment screw and it made quick a nice difference
at the expense of his sanity and financial wellbeing, Pete is living our dream. love it
Excellent video and series, great work with the content, keeping a car running is what real world car ownership is all about, especially if you want to keep it for a long time. Appreciate the effort, cheers.
This is a nice M5, we need more BMW content!
Pete:r "the trim was 300$ per side, expennsive stuff!"

I like seeing you all succeed on your builds.
I wonder what'll be next?
Definitely, bring more content based on the performance vehicles of yesteryear

Love this e34 M5 content! God I miss mine, same color as yours Pete, I wish I would of never sold it 😢
Same here. Sold mine about 4 years ago. Sad day😢
Guys the car looks perfect 😍. Love the OE wheels.
Like the new wheels, but the throwing stars are the ones this car deserves.
Wheels and tires on point.. 👌 Nice project build to see the M5 returned to premium running condition. Until something else goes wrong...
Love this!!! Extra OEM would orange repeaters do. Greetings from Stockholm Sweden.
Always good to see old cars getting some TLC
This one is like a 3/4 scale M740i. Well done. Sounds great!
Love the BMW content. Keep bringing them back and mixing in with the new builds. Of course, as a huge BMW and Honda/Acura fan, I may be a bit biased with my opinion…
M Pars are the BEST wheel Bmw has ever made. Looks perfect!!!
I love M Parallels they look great on almost any bmw. I believe that shift knob is known as the ZHP e46 knob.
Love the M Parallel wheels. I have two sets for my Bimmer and I feel that they are one of the best style of wheels BMW has made. I feel though that the M-System/Turbine/Throwing stars fit the E34 M5 body style better in this case. Can't go wrong with either though
Back in the day, this was my dream car….
I think I rewatched 24:17 six times 😂
Peak BMW ownership moments
Love this car. Looks best with throwing stars
Pretty sure the final stage resistor is the culprit for your blower issue. The engine bay looks magnificent but for the final touch you should replace the paint code sticker.
those cars always look good with a deep lip like some BBS
I like seeing you guys maint these cars
Beautiful. This is what every M5 deserves
Love seeing cars come back
Whoa! So much better with original headlights! Thanks!
As an e34 msport owner, I have to say that interior is very special
I love my Titanium Silver over Napa Black leather E46 M3, and every time I see this car, I feel a longing to obtain the big brother. Great content and thanks for keeping this car in the rotation.
Love project builds please continue with your build content
I've been calling those the Gesi's, magic work tbh. Once they're CARB compliant it'll be a game changer.
Is the coolant reservoir still available? Would definitely clean up the engine compartment with a new one
They are (or were) I bought one a few years ago when I still had my E34 M5.
The BMW is looking good. Pete doesn't know how powerful those finger snaps are. When he snapped his finger to change the lights it also changed his shirt. Dave might need to ease up on the BMW ribbing, because who knows what Pete might do with those snap powers. 🙂

The wheels are perfection!
Oem plus with the wheels on. Love the co ntent.
HONEYSEAL FTW. They did my truck and it was amazing!
Didn’t see a problem with the headlights you had in before but those new headlights they do look good maybe even better

I like the understated “BMW refresh” that costs $7500. 😂
Touch up episodes are great!
I like the wheels before this set you put on. Looks a little different
I love M Parallels, but I have to vote that you go with the modified OE style wheels. They look amazing.
Maybe it’s just me but I prefer the darker headlights tbh. If I buy this car from you, I’ll buy the headlights too and install them myself.
