Adventurous BMW E34 M5 Inspection & Drive
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 ноя 2021
- In this episode, we inspect the legend, E34 M5 from my friend Misha. This beauty has a rich history as it lived most of its life in Russia and then came back to Germany through Poland. We look over the car in detail and diagnose a ver difficult non-start issue.
EDIT: Misha no longer owns this M5, therefore there will be no continuation of this project.

I can't remember watching any video involving me, let alone a 30+min long one.
Thank you so much for all your work so far and for making an exception to your rule in the first place!
Cheers, Misha!
I remember you from watching north loop videos. You can't fool me!
I’m just glad that Sreten has friends! He works so much I was worried he doesn’t have time!
Don’t remember any Sreten video with less abusive language. Good influence, Mischa!
@@mackie5004 So Long Boosted Boris doesn't appear all will be fine. 😁
I’m very appreciative that this channel shows the work! This is one of the last pure automotive RUclips channels left!
Project gay came along well.
Downvotes are from Russian tax-evaders :-)
Yes totally agree with you I learn a lot from this guy🤫
There's a fair few smaller channels that YT doesn't push and all of them have pretty good tech content. YT just want you to watch the popular stuff so they make more money from the advert revenue.
Plot twist: Sreten is practicing with this car to learn from his mistakes so when he buys a E34 M5 for him, he will do everything correctly
Keep it up, man
😉😂
A worthy exception to your rule. Usually the car is the star but the dog gave that M5 some competition.
As a BDAY present ?!?! Good friend
Did I hear E34 M5 competition?😂😂
I was all about the M5 then the dog showed up she is so cute I forgot all about the car for a minute 😂😂
no
Australian Shepherd.
Wonderful family dogs
Actual conversation between Sreten and me last night:
S: does RUclips have any issues with the word sh*t?
M: yes.
S: ok, I'll edit it out.
14:28 George: come on d*ckhead 🤣🤣🤣
:) :) that is so great
someone: asks what is the name of the project?
misha: project geh
that someone: [angry stare] why are you geh?
When you say Sche*sse instead it's okay.
:))
Misha you have a great sense of humour 😂
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.
and we saw an aftermarket alarm horn mounted on the fender fwd of the ride side strut. But what burned under there?
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
My thoughts exactly. Something is not right in this story
smells stolen m5 parts in another chassie
@@andersn4707 well back in the late 80's it could be mob who bought it but i'm pretty sure the was no official dealership of BMW in PL
@@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 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.
As a proud owner of an E34 M5 for over 24 years, this is the M539 video series I have been waiting for!
I so wish Sreten would buy one at some point and restore it to full glory. I am pretty sure he's going to enjoy the hell out of it!
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.
Streten - “Do you have a Jerry can or something?”
Misha - “I have 10 thousand litre petrol pump on my driveway”…. Was not expecting that.
Just Nürburgring things🤭
16:17 the smile on Streten his face after asking if it is fuel is priceless
@@mgcharoudin remembering and missing Sabine Schmitz
you are really spoiling us with the amount of videos lately
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.
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.
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!
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.
Go watch Misha's video about the same topic to hear his perspective
@@djapepedja Will do, thnx!
Jak zobaczyłem tablice z okolic, to byłem w lekkim szoku, ale nigdy tej m5 nie spotkałem :)
You sir are absolutely NOT helping me to avoid owning another E34. *sighs, opens another browser to start the search.
if you are fat get your health in order first boss want you to be around to enjoy your cars.
When pulling the oil pan “That is a brick”.
Probably human bones more likely. Lol
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 !
Clicking on a random old BMW video en Misha appearing out of nowhere made my day.
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!
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
I just found this channel after watching Misha's video on the project, and I've now watched basically all of the videos. Excellent entertainment, it shows that you really put a lot of work into the cars & videos. Somehow I find myself enjoying the E31 content the most, such a cool & underrated motor vehicle, and very cool seeing them in manual form too. Anyway, great job, hope you all the success!
Mindblowing stuff. Two of the greatest car RUclipsrs collaborating. It’s like superman and spiderman wrenching away together. Love it!
I love the E34! So Ronin!
That miss on idle is somewhat normal for S38, they had that when new. I could listen to that idle for hours :-)
I love it when the subtitles state "[Music]" as soon as you start the engine
This is the best colaboration ever! Thank you guys.
I love this shape 5 Series. BMW really knew how to make good looking cars !
when you guys were towing the car, I've never laughed harder on this channel! The sight of you rolling down the hill was a great moment.
I agree. That was totally down-to-earth car guy stuff =)
Just the best car restoration channel! Love it! No blabla, no endless sponsor bs. Keep it like this:D
God, seeing that car makes me miss the best there ever was Georgi and his M5.
RIP
Thats all I was thinking about when I watched this. God I love those videos RIP Georgi
@@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...
I've been waiting so patiently for this. My 2 favorite youtuber's collaborating.
I am subscribed to both channels for a long time. I have been salivating at the prospect of an E34 on the M539 channel as I used to own a '95 540i 6-speed. It was my baby, until I was diagnosed with MS and can no longer drive.
The M5 you have would be pre-93 facelift models. The kidney grills on mine were larger, and the hood "body lines" on the later models were more pronounced and curved towards the A-pillar. I have a few hundred pictures,
I'd love to share with you if you're interested I could send a few...
Also, the 6-speed trans in the 540i was delightful. Better gear-ratio than the 5-speed for regular daily use around town. Very robust.
I would vote to maintain it's originality, there are so few examples left in any condition.
Cheers!
Chris
(the "BCK NKD" name was my license plate, BUCK NAKED, was from an old episode of Seinfeld. LOL)
Sketchiest episode yet. The towing sequence alone was worth it.
The famous bugatti killer and Giorgi's drift car. Looking very much forward to this project and how this compares to other cars you've worked on.
Love this shape, possibly my favourite 5 series. My uncle had a 540i in 93, what a special car 👍
I have one like this👍🏻
Manual ? 👀
@@lollypop9580 initially not, but I put💪🏻
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!
This is going to be a great series! Love the E34 M5! Very much looking forward to more from you guys 👍
Love the "9mm Mafia" badge hanging off the mirror.
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” 😁
I said I gonna be the Gayest person when the car is ready!
🤣
OMG!! What we all E34 fans have been waiting for!!
AWEsome!..Love the video dudes. Its great to see mates helping each other in something they passionate about(cars + modification etc)
Has to be the best channel on RUclips for DIY wrenching. Love it.
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.
My ideal M5 - The looks of the E39 M5, the engine of the E60 M5 and the handling / driving feel of the E34 M5.
It checks all the boxes, ITBs, hydraulic steering, lightest....
Couple notes coming from an E34 M5 owner:
- Flywheel chatter is normal on the earlier M5s with a single mass flywheel.
- Not sure how many miles are on the engine, but if it’s high mileage then the rod bearings wear on the S38B38. (Not the B36). I’d check those if it’s more than 125k miles. Valve adjustment every 25k miles.
- Missing drain plug thingy under those plastic side sills.
- The 420G six-speed and matching 3.23 diff are extremely rare and expensive. Other 420Gs have different bellhousing and don’t work. Six speed only adds a cruising gear so not a performance upgrade unless you get a different diff like a 3.7 or so.
- Originally diamond schwartz it looks like? Nice extended black leather with the rear breadbox.
All in all it looks like a nice buy.
Nice to see both of you on a project. Mischa is a really nice dude
This channel just keeps getting more based with each new video.

Hello from Russia, by the way. We love your videos;)
I love the fact that after all those awesome cars Misha drives, he still daily drive a Mk4 Golf.. (nothing wrong with that ofcourse) 🙂
Wow, such beautiful car. Imagine after your magic Sreten.
Cheers from Brazil!
Yesss!! New project. Excited
This car man… when i was a young boy and stil had dreams, this car, i was looking at it almost every day, on screen that is. This is a project i cant wait to follow. 😁
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.
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 am so glad you are featuring the e34, it's my favourite model of bmw
I cant wait to see this car all done by you! You do amazing work been watching all your videos your attention to detail is top notch
You have to get an E34 M5, they are such a beautiful looking car.
True, and getting more expensive every day. Anyone who wants one, should buy now, prices are on the rise!!
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?
You switch off hazard and show turn when necessary.
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.
@@gwidonpopielski2885 if this is true then it's hillarious LOL
I miss germany, I was stationed there twice. Love the roads and country side. :)
love your content from the states bro keep it up we need your videos to come watch at the end of our days!
I love being a patreon patron so much, having the early access to these videos makes me so happy lol
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.
yep agree seems very strange
It wasn't show on a BMW VIN check if fake
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.
Got same heavy vibrations on the breakes on my E46. It was the brake calipers that was not tightened enough.
Nice video and very great car !
Great video, and defenetly great car, one of the best classics. Its nice that you helped Misha out with this project, now we can be sure it will turn out to be one of the best M5 E34`s.
From russia with love
Из России с любовью как говорится
This was a strange episode. Don't know how I felt about it to be honest. Hope the next one is just you, the M5 and the dojo
Ali- very good discernment
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.
This is highly motivating to fix my M5, soon It’ll be up to spec ! Love the color combo on that m5 !
Dropping the oil pan on this car
*finds whole bottle of vodka (empty of course)
As long as there aren't any nails...
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!!!
I wish Misha kept this E34 M5. His wagon episode brought me here.
Finally, as an E34 owner and lover i really enjoyed this video and cant wait for more!
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?
Must feel good to work on someone else car for a change and not having to pay for all the parts.
My favourite BMW. A buddy of mine had one years ago. The engine is a jewel.
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.
Kamatarka
This is very cool! I have a much rougher E34 M5 that I'm currently swapping to a Touring chassis (structural rust on the M5 is not worth cost to restore).
You have a rare vier-sitzer option with the split rear seat! Very cool!
My computer isn't working....did you plug in your device?? YES OF COURSE I DID.... wait what? LOL happened to me so many times. Love your honesty mate!
This guy is pure gold! Good informative videos and slick presentation....
New video of streten = best part of the week
The house call format at Apex at the Nürburgring is certainly refreshing change.
Beautiful car! And I'm really happy that guys from Poland could help Misha with papers ;)
I'm now in the middle of rebuilding E32 (M60B30) 1992 for my Fiancee. Engine is rebuilt, now doing the brake system and fuel system... Should ride like a charm soon :)
Best regards from Poland!

Yes, this is what im waiting for every week
My first car was an E34 525i. Second car an E34 540i and third a 535i. Great cars! Fun to work on.
YESSS AN E34 ON THE CHANNEL!!!
New favourite & best channel on RUclips. Seriously man, well done for all the content you've created. Informative, excellent entertainment to enjoy. I'm quickly getting through your backlog and I'm getting a bit sad because I don't wanna catch up to the present stuff. 🤙🤙👌👌👏👏
This stuff should be on Netflix!
I don’t mean to make this sappy but I honestly have been so bored with everything content wise on RUclips, your account is the only account I enjoy watching now and every day I reload my subscriptions crossing my fingers if it’s the day you upload it truly brings me joy to watch your content and as someone that wrenches at home it’s amazing to witness your skill and experience. I used to have an e46 coupe which I did full top end rebuild on but now I have Japanese garbage and am restoring two Nissan s13 240sx’s I really wish you the best and can’t wait for more!!!!
Thrust bushes on the lower arms cause the vibrating steering under braking
And prop shaft bearing

You doing a great job keep up the good work
LOL, Sreten and Misha. This is like a rock supergroup of the RUclips car world.
Omg, I love this! Coming from Misha's channel.
wow with Misha! awesome! both my fav youtubers!
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!! IT'S FINALLY AN E34!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
I literally live and breeeeeeathe E34. I've owned two of them in my life, one as my very first car and it's the chassis I always keep coming back too. There are no words to describe my feelings for this absolute ultimate driving machineeeee. In my opinion, E34 M5 is the last of the great M5's. It has aged so well as a piece of legendary 80s design. 👌👌👌
I'm VERY excited to see you and Misha collab-ing. Some day I WILL own a 3.6l E34 M5. 🙏
