For the front grill there’s a hole at the top of the engine bay by the corner you stick a long screwdriver into to push down on the black tab to get it out. Bentley manual to the rescue😅, its in part 4 of my E34 restoration video. Plastics look amazing with fresh paint good job!
Geepers! What a transformation! Looks great! Thank you for the PDR information. I have some dings that drive me crazy and the cost is reasonable. I bought my e34 new in 1995 and I want it to look as good as possible. Also appreciate the removal of the front grille. I’ve done it before but it’s not easy with big mitts for hands! Well done! Cheers, George
Over this weekend on trip to state park, the day after I saw a 4inch by 2inch but 1/8 mm deep dent on the passenger door. It doesn't matter how much space I gave the next car, totally inconsiderate likely by senior people. Next time, I check and then take the offender's info and insurance. PDR coming out tomorrow, my first time so lets see.
Another quality video! I leave my tv on for my dog while I’m working, I’m going to leave your channel on for her, get you some extra views lol you deserve them! I appreciate your time
I got a PDR (paintless dent removal) expert to do a once over on my E34 and its the best money you can spend. Couldn't recommend it more. Just make sure they are experienced.
The turnermotorsport fuel door hinge I bought is garbadge, ordered 3 as was gonne get shipped across the atlantic anyway and I got a couple E34s, but they were all cracked in the same places. So had been poorly stored, used a cheap material or just in general been poorly thought out. Also needed zip ties to mount it, as the elasticity and the shape of the plastic were off from the OEM.
Those upgrades made a huge difference, the car looks stunning! What are your thoughts on the wheels - keep the originals, or swap them for some other OEM wheel, like the throwing stars?
Your car looks amazing. I have a 94 that my grandpa left me and it’s almost ready for the road. Quick question. Do u know what the hose is that’s attached to the inside of the back passenger wheel well?
@m3nameisjosh incredible work. i’m a newbie working on my e34 540i. i’m trying to replace the windshield trim/moulding. clips are en route. any vids on that part in particular? can i use the SEM paint on moulding trim?
Hey Josh love your content! Question would you happen to have any extra gearboxes for an e34 laying around I could possibly buy? I’m located in Virginia
Hey I have a set of late model OEM color matched side skirts, but I have a 1990 535i which isn’t pre drilled for side skirts. How would you recommend mounting side skirts in my situation?
Ive never done it personally, but my calypso came with this already done. To my understanding no drill holes needed, the skirts are mounted with a bunch of plastic clips i believe

Mannnn! How did I miss that!??? Thank you!
Man that trim turned out amazing. It looks so much better. I will definitely paint my trim next weekend to get it looking nice and new.

By the way what type of SEM trim paint did you use? Matte black or Glossy? Thanks. Cheers! George
Thanks George! And I don’t even see a label stating matte or glossy on my can. Just says “Trim Black”. Interesting. Its definitely matte though
the trim restore makes this look SO good

Just had PDR done on my E34 touring. The right person doing the job makes a huge difference. Takes years off the car.

Agreed!

Good to know for future
Love it bro I gotta get this done on mine asap! Thank you for the video Josh !🤙🏻
Appreciate it man!

Im throwing the original wheels as far away as possible haha. I hate them. I have some fancy HRE’s from 1990 that will be going on
E34 content babyyyyy
YESSSSIRRR
Great vid. Where did you get the face lifted headlights? Might’ve missed that part
From my parts stock! Lol
Projectors and trim touch up made a huge difference. Is it difficult to locate parts for e34?
Not for me, i sell e34 parts so I just have to walk to my shed haha
Your car looks amazing. I have a 94 that my grandpa left me and it’s almost ready for the road. Quick question. Do u know what the hose is that’s attached to the inside of the back passenger wheel well?
Thanks man! But I believe the hose your referring to is the gas tank filler neck.
@m3nameisjosh incredible work. i’m a newbie working on my e34 540i. i’m trying to replace the windshield trim/moulding. clips are en route. any vids on that part in particular? can i use the SEM paint on moulding trim?
Unfortunately not, never tackled it. Sem trim isn’t technically the right color. Windshield trims are more graphity
Nother awesome vid. In my opinion ive always preferred the projectors over the smileys. Look cooler at night.
Ill have to compare my projectors to my calypsos smileys side by side!
definitely buying that black trim paint ur shit looks like new oe
YESSSIR
Might be buying a 520i next week. Super pumped. I follow your tiktok but i found you here on TH-cam looking at e34s lol
Nice man! Welcome to the legit side of my content loll
@@m3nameisjosh464 i have been binging
@@m3nameisjosh464 i bought the 520 touring
@@lars3462 Congrats!!!
All I can say on the fuel door is remember to put the clip on first for those who done it know
Dude YES, my calypso literally doesn’t have a clip because i made this mistake🤣🤣🤣
Small grille for life.
And thats a fact!
I got 1 dent I need pulled...but I can't find anyone to hire me so idk how much longer I'll even have my e36
Looking Good!
Oh wait , earlier e34 battery is in the engine bay ?
Yessirr

@@m3nameisjosh464 Aw man ok thanks anyway. Hopefully I can get lucky with a ZF second on the g220 not looking so good

Where would you recommend I buy an oil pan for my 1990 525i
Ebay
Please make sure u put all that "inconvenient" extra stuff back in...I LOVE that my car still has all it
I put it in! Dont worry haha
What was the paint? Sem trim paint? Where do you get it? Thx
Yessir, auto parts stores or amazon
Where do you sell parts at. Need few things for e34. 95
Just have people dm me on instagram!
goood job!
U like old audis man? Like 90’s
I appreciate how they look, but never owned one nor care to really own one
Shiish. That headlight backing is the last thing I should have.
That car looks amazing
Can I have it?
I hate that clip... Instead of going that route I remove the bumper then use my fingers to push down to release the front clip..
Ahhh good method as well haha
Mannnnn
@m3nameisjosh let me know when you're ready to sell this beauty! As always, great content!
Not anytime soon! Were just getting started haha
