If the car is from 1988 and it was sold in Poland this year it's crazy. I mean communism offcially ended in 1989 and from that point there was crazy capitalism where people could start to make some big cash, but most of the cars on the roads back there was like 650cc Fiat. Being able to see m5 on the road in 1988 must have been mindblowing
@@szczupak011 mob? In 1988? It could be bought in Pewex or something... but no official BMW... i didnt get it but Misha said somethong about 1995? Maybe it was produced in 1988 did not sell and than was sold in 1995 thru some polish dealership? Other way it could only be 1. Ambasy 2.some agenda official 3. Some prominent ppl or some kind of well known sportsman maybe motorsport one... but Sobieslaw Zasada didnt ride in BMWs.... he had Porsche instead but only that kind of ppl could have a car like this... Any way i'm going for the 88 production german car and sold as new in 95 in poland as the e39 arrived and in germany it was old one so it went to poland and was sold there... and boy it was a time that some ppl made crazy money and could buy it... shame it has ended soon. Edit: in 1995 it could be bought by some mob but i believe that they would preffer to stole it in Germany those days and put it on some other papers even pinch VIN... but i belive if the vin is straight this was bought by some one whelthy who had some money to buy it.
@@szczupak011 In late '80, BMW's were sold by Polmot, together with other brands. I have a Polmot folder from 1988 with an E30 and an E32 with a diesel engines.
I'm 90% sure the car has aftermarket remote start system, that's why it stays running. This is made like that because car is manual to prevent starting on a gear remotely. The car is from Surgut, Siberia according to plate it has (86 region) and they use it all the time to warm up cars. Try to release hand brake first and shut it off. If it stalls than I'm right.
I never expected that one day i will keep refreshing my youtube feed waiting for your weekly episode to be posted !! Sreten, you represent the essence of a real BMW fan guy ! Greetings from Egypt, keep up that fantastic work.
Hi, Sreten! Thanks for another great video and looking forward to enjoying the new project! E34 M5 is very special one! Honestly, I wish you had one as well ;) Regarding engine that does not stop after you remove the key. If the car has aftermarket car alarm system (and knowing the car is from Russia), I bet it is the reason. Look, in Russia we have these alarms with something called “smart Neutral control” function - for cars with manual gearboxes. The idea is that you park the car, pull up the handbrake, remove the key and then lock the car using alarm key fob and only then engine stops - this makes the alarm “remember” that the car is on Neutral and will let it start remotely from a key fob. Otherwise, it will not. The easy ways to check: 1) do not pull up the handbrake after you park, then remove the key and engine shall stop in about 5 sec. Then you can pull up the handbrake; OR 2) lock it using key fob and it shall stop. Hopefully, this will help!
Came here to say the same thing about the remote starter. Old systems used to work like this, where the car would stay running if you shut it off in neutral with the handbrake engaged. Given the hacked wiring under the dash and that it came from a cold climate, it's likely.
Having recently gotten an '93 E34 (albeit a 520i), it's the one car from BMW's legendary classic line-up I've been waiting to see you have a go at! And low and behold, here we finally are, with an E34 M5! Project Marta is going to be amazing!
I've owned a '93 RHD E34 520i Touring since '98, now has 400,000 kms on it. Great car, no rust as it's been down in southern France since '98. Now in process of rebuilding the front suspension and it needs some tailgate wiring sorting as the tailgate and tailgate glass releases don't work.
KBC plates - Kraków, BoChnia, well known plates in my area. My home city is Kraków, Bochnia is small town few kilometers away, known for its salt mine. Came across Micha while back when browsing YT videos about Nürburgring, he did video with Robert Kubica driving M4 on Nordschleife. Great content as always! Edit: one thing, if you have a guest/are visiting give your host/guest a microphone as well please. Difference in sound level when you speak vs when Micha spoke is BIG.
@@rbti1401 He was, is, and always will be the best there ever was, no matter how many years pass, it's still like I'm just waiting for a new vid to drop....but, unfortunately, we know that's not going to happen...
Sreten: “My thing is too big” Misha: “That’s what she said” Great piece of banter there 😁 Also, I would love to hear the out-take of what happened after Misha said “Gay” 😁
When converting to non SLS rear shocks, just fit a standard 535i PAS pump. It's nice to see an E34 M5 that isn't absolutely shagged with rust. Most in the UK have seen some action with a welding torch. Valve and throttle body adjustment is essential to get close to the full 340 ponies as is proper fuel, not 95 octane junk.
I remember when the first owners were done with these cars, the second owner who bought it usually lived near a border and used the car to smuggle fuel (100L tank)... if you keep it around 90kph the engine is surprisingly fuel efficient, do 2-3 trips a day, and you have comfortable living. 17:00 fan clutch is stuck, should not be turning with an ice cold engine
If it makes you feel better, my E39 528i died on a long journey, fuel gauge said half-full. I had to get it recovered on a truck and then get a BMW mechanic out to look at it. After a few hours, he diagnosed no fuel... As a rear ABS sensor had dropped out, it stopped sending a distance signal to the ECU, consequently, the fuel gauge stopped working; it doesn't just use the flait in the tank to get a measurement !
Wow... a Bmer going from Russia through Poland to Germany :D unusual :) I wouldn't be surprised that it was stolen in Germany at the beginning of the journey :D I am Polish and it used to be a pandemic of cars stolen in Germany, VIN changed new papers made in Poland and then sold to Russians.
I agree. The story that a car like this sat around from '88 to '95 for seven years untill it was sold "new" in post-communist Poland sounds fishy. I also think it had a life pre-'95 (probably in Germany), got stolen during the 1990s-car-theft-epidemic and the VIN was washed in Poland to sell the car to Russia. If that VIN is even original to the car. You can probably safely drive it in Poland, but I don't know how long german authorities store the VINs of stolen cars. I wouldn't try to register it here in Germany, yet alone drive it as is. A dated BMW on polish plates is the mother of all cop magnets. Let's hope Sreten isn't the unlucky guy who is driving this thing into a TÜV-station.
So nice to finally see an E34 on the channel! my all time favourite BMW. Cant wait to see this beautiful M5 getting some love. Also Misha is a really nice guy!
Great, I already saw it on Misha's channel... I bet this camerawork and humor is going to be better ;) Also I now get why you like cars that are not messed with... This is going to be a handful!
Well the Rusians especialy in Siberia modify the cars to run all the time especialy in the night because of low temperatures in a couple of hours the oil will freeze at -50-70’C in the winter so they get the key out, lock the car and then leave it running.
Polish guys from Bochnia (by the registration plate) who recognize this car - speak up and tell your part of the story! BTW: towing a car with the hazard lights on is prohibited I believe. How the heck the guys behind you should know that you are going to take a left turn, uhm?
Stolen in 2001 in the centre of the Wroclaw. Was beautifully parked 300 meters from main Police Station. Owner had been too confident - German citizen.
Fun fact: in 90s Poland, due to post-commie poverty and wild, early capitalism cars like BMW and mercs were only affordable to businessmen and politicians, many of which had some shady things going on, including connections with russian "businessmen", so this being a polish car later sold to Russia makes it somewhat possible that it was once owned by a mafia member and it makes the car that bit cooler to me (you can put faux pre-2000 polish black number plates for extra gangster vibe). You really didn't want to run into one of these in a dark alley. Just to give you a better perspective: for some time in the late 80s polish GDP was lower than Russia's, so if your father dropped you off at school in something like an E34, it was almost as shocking as flying a helicopter. The 5er in particular was often driven by lesser mafia members, while big fish would roll in a W140, a SEC (bought with cash in a dealership in Warsaw, obviously) or a 7 series.
just 2 hours ago i thought to myself: `Maybe a new episode of m539 might come today?!` And now here I am and looking forward to watching this. Im sure it will be awesome as always!
for "FULL" Engine Inspection there is a Compression LEAK Test missing .... because somethimes Compression is Good cause of OIL and the Leak test then is miserable.... So for Full Inspektion this is missing...
Before 1989, during communism, there were no BMW representatives in Poland and it was not possible to buy it. The difference in production dates may be due to the fact that in the early 90s, in order to save money, the car could be imported from Germany in parts. It was colloquially called a 'składak'. The used cars was transported across the border in parts and then reassembled in Poland - then the office entered the date as it was when the car was reassembled in Poland. Perhaps that's why a different engine was put in then. We had such wild times in Poland then.
Sounds almost like a plot for a good comedy: A Russian and a Serbian guy are towing a German Muscle car bought in Poland, maltreated in Russia, only to discover after several diagnostic attempts: The car is missing fuel ;)
The engine is on after the key is off the ignition lock, because of sher khan alarm system. (sticker on windshield glass). It's a protection for remote engine start. Makes you sure, that your manual gearbox is in neutral. So, when you start engine from your appartment, your car doest go and kill people and destroy property.
You're supposed to keep those towing ropes tight at all times and completely avoid snatching like that, you basically have to ride the brakes to do so, kind of sad we never saw this e34 getting restored tbh
The passenger side windshield wiper is likely removed, because of the windshield wiping mehcanism has worn out. You can check the hood for any scratches, because when the bushing goes bad, the arm starts rubbing off paint of the hood. I recently had my mechanism fully rebuilt. The mechanism tends to wear out on these cars.
If you leave it up to this guy (owner) I guarantee none of the maintenence work will be done. Am I understanding correctly he failed to put fuel in it and was confused why it wouldn't run? This story makes me sad.
I don't wana hate, but im kind a disapoint with this one. Yes, the car is worthy, but as a fan of this chanel i wait all week to see alpina video or maybe some of other cars. Video is great, as usual. Great content! Keep up the good work.
I agree with Sreten, this car Misha, looks extremely good from what is shown in the video. I have looked for a M5 for over 10 years and local cars mostly were in a much worse state! You got a gem there and a really good deal. Regarding vibrations, you should get rid of that by replacing front control arms and like Sreten said, do all the rest at the same time. The ruff running is normal, the S38 runs ruff, you could adjust valve clearance. The flywheel sound is pretty normal too, it's not a dual mass flywheel. Compression is really perfect! Rear shock are dead, yes, you can hear them sing. Ah yes, for the brakes in the front, if it has 4 pistons, then it's not stock. The 3,6 1988 had 315x28 and single piston. The 4 pistons brake might come from a 750i or 850i and has 324x30.
Definitely the Aussie Sheep Dog is the star of the show, as I just love the marled marking they have and their good temperament . As for the car and where it has been, its running not bad, except for that latter electrical fault which of course you will sort out - won't you?
One of the best videos in recent times. Like... many times more interesting than a bit boring repair of an Alpina engine. More people, more storytelling, more experience and emotions. Well well done!!!
This ignition system is very similar to what they have in US for police cars. Officer might have the keys and the cur running, while he's away for a toiler brake. The perpetrator is in the car, but as soon as he tries to press gas and drive the car it just stalls.
There is something wrong with the story of the car. It was probably stolen in Germany at the time and then got new papers in Poland. Why did he register him in Poland again? Maybe because it is still registered as stolen at the Federal Motor Vehicle Office = Kraftfahrt Bundesamt in Germany?
That's a really beautiful spec E34. I used to love them but interested waned because I like the E28 now but my god this might change my mind again. Probably the wrong way around lol
I was wondering when you are going to work on a E34 M5 and finally the time has come, YESSS! I also have a E34 and i think its one of the most beautiful BMWs ever made.

Before 1989, during communism, there were no BMW representatives in Poland and it was not possible to buy it. The difference in production dates may be due to the fact that in the early 90s, in order to save money, the car could be imported from Germany in parts. It was colloquially called a 'składak'. The used cars was transported across the border in parts and then reassembled in Poland - then the office entered the date as it was when the car was reassembled in Poland.

Sounds almost like a plot for a good comedy: A Russian and a Serbian guy are towing a German Muscle car bought in Poland, maltreated in Russia, only to discover after several diagnostic attempts: The car is missing fuel ;)
Wow, such beautiful car. Imagine after your magic Sreten.
Cheers from Brazil!
The engine is on after the key is off the ignition lock, because of sher khan alarm system. (sticker on windshield glass). It's a protection for remote engine start. Makes you sure, that your manual gearbox is in neutral. So, when you start engine from your appartment, your car doest go and kill people and destroy property.
I've been waiting so patiently for this. My 2 favorite youtuber's collaborating.
You're supposed to keep those towing ropes tight at all times and completely avoid snatching like that, you basically have to ride the brakes to do so, kind of sad we never saw this e34 getting restored tbh
I love the fact that after all those awesome cars Misha drives, he still daily drive a Mk4 Golf.. (nothing wrong with that ofcourse) 🙂
The passenger side windshield wiper is likely removed, because of the windshield wiping mehcanism has worn out. You can check the hood for any scratches, because when the bushing goes bad, the arm starts rubbing off paint of the hood. I recently had my mechanism fully rebuilt. The mechanism tends to wear out on these cars.
I had that until I raised the back of my hood slightly by putting washers under the mounts on the hood.
If you leave it up to this guy (owner) I guarantee none of the maintenence work will be done. Am I understanding correctly he failed to put fuel in it and was confused why it wouldn't run? This story makes me sad.
Kudos for giving the dog some love.
We had a Koolie here in Australia - looks just like that dog, same happy personality. 17 years we had her :-(
I don't wana hate, but im kind a disapoint with this one. Yes, the car is worthy, but as a fan of this chanel i wait all week to see alpina video or maybe some of other cars. Video is great, as usual. Great content! Keep up the good work.
I agree with Sreten, this car Misha, looks extremely good from what is shown in the video. I have looked for a M5 for over 10 years and local cars mostly were in a much worse state! You got a gem there and a really good deal.
Regarding vibrations, you should get rid of that by replacing front control arms and like Sreten said, do all the rest at the same time. The ruff running is normal, the S38 runs ruff, you could adjust valve clearance. The flywheel sound is pretty normal too, it's not a dual mass flywheel. Compression is really perfect! Rear shock are dead, yes, you can hear them sing. Ah yes, for the brakes in the front, if it has 4 pistons, then it's not stock. The 3,6 1988 had 315x28 and single piston. The 4 pistons brake might come from a 750i or 850i and has 324x30.
The noisy start could be the secondary airpump. It runs for 90sec. after a coldstart.
Looks like you know a lot about these cars any why it doesn’t have 6speed gearbox since it’s the 3.8
I am surprised that you can tow a car in Germany 🇩🇪 with just a rope. In the USA you would get stopped
OMG!! What we all E34 fans have been waiting for!!
“Nope!! Found my cave, ain’t gonna move for nobody!!” 🤣🤣🐶🐶
This is the best colaboration ever! Thank you guys.
Oh man, a Polish car that went to Russia then back to Poland registered as something else.... straight as an arrow. Beautiful car though.
I love being a patreon patron so much, having the early access to these videos makes me so happy lol
What happened more here, please, what happened more with this car? you must continuene..
Definitely the Aussie Sheep Dog is the star of the show, as I just love the marled marking they have and their good temperament .
As for the car and where it has been, its running not bad, except for that latter electrical fault which of course you will sort out - won't you?
Great video as always! But for some reason I don’t like that niko bellic guy, kinda annoying…
One of the best videos in recent times. Like... many times more interesting than a bit boring repair of an Alpina engine. More people, more storytelling, more experience and emotions. Well well done!!!
Can you please do a video on N54 engine car
E34 this is nice, but rusian -🚽💨
The Ads on these videos are getting ridiculous now. 2 every 4 minutes is enough to put people off even watching
Clicking on a random old BMW video en Misha appearing out of nowhere made my day.
Left Germany, went to Poland then Russia then back to the fatherland...sounds familiar 🤭🤭🤭
This ignition system is very similar to what they have in US for police cars. Officer might have the keys and the cur running, while he's away for a toiler brake. The perpetrator is in the car, but as soon as he tries to press gas and drive the car it just stalls.
how could you have not titled this video "they see me rollin'...."
Who in their rightful mind would dislike this? Jeez.
2 none narcist real dudes and car youtubers in 1 video, that's a first for me
That's the nicest thing I've heard all day! Thank you!
Imagine Sreten collecting all the M5s like Thanos collecting the stones~
Hmm... a car from Russia/Poland with some dubious electrical issues around the ignition key and the immobilizer. That's a first.
yeah..exactly...wonder why...🙄
There is something wrong with the story of the car. It was probably stolen in Germany at the time and then got new papers in Poland. Why did he register him in Poland again? Maybe because it is still registered as stolen at the Federal Motor Vehicle Office = Kraftfahrt Bundesamt in Germany?
I don't think you could get a stolen M5 into Poland in the year 1988...
That's a really beautiful spec E34.
I used to love them but interested waned because I like the E28 now but my god this might change my mind again.
Probably the wrong way around lol
Just double checking you not allowed to tinted rear windows in Germany ??
You are allowed but with some kind of paper, lame anyways, germany nowadays.
Sreten I love you :-D
"Polish people, are not exactly russians but they are also no germans" ...lol :-D :-D :-D
Preacher lol
Nice video but let’s back to project Chicago!
Mindblowing stuff. Two of the greatest car TH-camrs collaborating. It’s like superman and spiderman wrenching away together. Love it!
Please don't let Misha modify a thing.. keep it pure :D
👍bmw e34 👍🙈🙈
It's friday!!!!! And.............."Coooooooming up"!!!!
The house call format at Apex at the Nürburgring is certainly refreshing change.
I was wondering when you are going to work on a E34 M5 and finally the time has come, YESSS! I also have a E34 and i think its one of the most beautiful BMWs ever made.
