So funny cuz I did my oil pan today with this vid and I had the same exact two bolts missing from the same spots. Preciate the vids on the 540i dude, keep em coming. I have a 95 m-sport and Im planning on keeping it for awhile. All your guides have helped so much, really appreciate it.
Keep these videos coming brother! These are giving me so much info on my new to me e34 540. 1st time owner so I'm starting from scratch! Thankfully I have a nice example to start with. This is going to be a great summer!
Good video, been watching you for a while now! I have done all of this on my 540 over the last few months. You should look into doing the intake manifold gaskets, replacing CCV/Gasket, TB gasket, and while you are in there cleaning injectors/new O rings. Mine was intermittently stalling due to a vacuum leak and those took care of it. The CCV system on these is such a poor design and if neglected can cause serious carbon build up in the manifold and on your injectors. Good content man, enjoy the channel!
Looking to buy an E34 540 for my daily...so thanks for insight into maintenance requirements. I really miss my E39 M5 which was the best vehicle I ever owned. That V8 rumble is addictive.
7mm hex worked for me for the chain adjustment incase 8mm doesnt work for some of you.great video man 8 just did mine had one big bolt and 2 small ones shes all buttoned up now.
Hey man, I see you deal a lot with the E34s and probably might have some spare parts. I’m looking for the radio digital clock/ outside temp piece. Thanks!
@@m3nameisjosh464 ok maybe the prelude of the early 90s, I mean the civics of that time looked like the 3 series of those years too. Just my opinion. Honda imitated the body styling back then
Did these things fix that cold start issue? Mine has the same problem. Rough idle on cold start, drive like a champ still tho just every start is shameful 🤣
Do you think it would be good idea to go buy this car in another country and drive it home about 800 miles? What do i need to check before such long trip... when i get home i will do the maintenace but it needs to take me home haha
FCP Euro is WAY WAY OVERRATED! I ordered a timing chain, item arrived looked refurbished (scratched, but seemed it was sandblasted it to make it look new). Then they gave me hella of hard time stating I swapped the chain. I said, is simple enough, check the ones in your inventory... management email with an apology and an RMA. Ended buying one from Ebay for a quarter of the cost from FCP, new in perfect condition.
Picked up a 540 a few months ago - these vids are amazing since I wish to refurb my b40. Keep up the good work man!
Thank you man!!!
i have a 94' 540 with 86k but it was sitting for 5 years and so there's much work to be done and i appreciate these videos!
Sounds like a gem!!!

@@m3nameisjosh464 do you know of any companies that have available heater core for a 95 540i m60? Everywhere is backorder.
@@jasonmeyer6091 unfortunately not, ive never bought one. Shame I had a wrapped up 60k mile one sitting around forever but sold a couple months back

YES!
Hello Matt!!! How are you buddy?
@@AidosBekoff hey brother! Great to see you in here! Let’s chat later!
@@MattyMattsBavarianBuilds ок brother!
Quick question what springs r u running on that white e34
Did these things fix that cold start issue? Mine has the same problem. Rough idle on cold start, drive like a champ still tho just every start is shameful 🤣
It was a later video doing throttle body gasket that fixed it
Do you think it would be good idea to go buy this car in another country and drive it home about 800 miles? What do i need to check before such long trip... when i get home i will do the maintenace but it needs to take me home haha
Hmm never knew about the oil pump bolts backing out any way to tell if they back out ?
Just have to pull off the pan and look.
And should i just lock tight all the bolts ?
@@SamuelMonteiro16 yuppp
So I just bought a 95 540i/6, Can I ask for some advice? help?
daamn those bolts D:
So when are u making a video on the timing chain guide lol
M60b40 doesn’t have guide issues😎
Is this a problem with the m60b30s as well?
I believe so
@@m3nameisjosh464 I'll be doing the same thing soon, previous owner included an oil pan gasket now i understand why haha
i got 1 big bolt only in mine ^^
cold air intake better than stocc air box?👀
Nahh just came with it lol
love the car, but really dislike the lowering, it's way to much and makes it look cheap
People call me weird when I don’t drive with my ac on in my m50 car 😭 like bro if I turn the ac on the trip gets 10 minutes longer 😭
😂😂😂😂😂😂

Weird man ive never had issues with them. Occasionally an incorrect part but they are quick to fix the issue
