SUhh dudes! I almost didn't make this video because I think the go pro has a smudge mark and I was getting discouraged but after editing it I decided to upload it hopefully it's not that distracting! WE HAVE NOW GROWN TO 3000 subs this is crazy! our Fam is getting bigger !! For the whole month of Feb I've been trying to make videos but every time I tired ill give up. my motivation was gone and I wanted a really good video now that we are 3k subs now. So a lot of pressure cause me to over think and not even post but for now, I'm going to keep on going I'm sure you'll guys like a little bit of the video hopefully it helps you guys and talks to me in the comments below !!!

About headlights, if they've got crosses inside the high-beams and they're euro smileys then you just MIGHT have your hands on original Hella dark headlights. For everyone else who lives outside Cali and knows how much these e34 rust, check the sideskirts. If you've got a sunroof then double check the sideskirts again, because the jack points will be the first thing to go. Windshield wiper mechanism wear - likes to bang against the hood when there's a big play on the passenger side. That's just the few things you should watch out for. Proud owner of a 525i (2.8 stroker) for nearly 3 years now despite being in a huge battle against rust last year.
yes Replacement Wiper Requires the whole Unit New Inc Motor. £400 UK. Good used wiper rods are hard to find. I managed to find some good used Wiper rod / arms, ( the ones under the plastic scuttle cover. ) .
Rust is an issue in the UK, Sills Jacking points & door bottoms.
@@A1DJPaul I haven't done my wipers yet but I remember that there was just a bushing that needs replacing.
I live on the Oregon coast, checking & clean all water drain holes to be functional is a must, and maintain the channels under the bonnet & tailgate to be clear of derby
man y'all lucky in cali that E34 rust on a whole other level here in Canada. Love your vids, calypso red 540's are the dream
HeresCap yeah im from northen europe and this video would be so different if made here
HeresCap thanks man! But in Canada you get headlight washers
klasesalk I’m curious
540's use the Aluminium / Alloy V8 engine. Very poor design. Most were Replaced under warranty when Fairly new. They were wearing the bores out at very low mileages.
The Better engine is the M50 525 24v Variable valve timing 2500cc.
Also The old 535, 3.4 unit.
Most V8's in the Uk were automatics, We don't like Auto's here.
They are Useless on tight bendy country lanes in the UK.
540 V8's are rare in the UK, & fetch a very high price.
I was advised Not to buy the V8. If it goes wrong it will end the car, or cost Many thousands to repair.
@@A1DJPaulThe shit quality fuel was the problem. Either way a good used B40 is less than a 1000€.
i am asking myself: "when will he talk about rust?!" - and then i rememberd that were you live there is no rust *jealous af*
I just got me E34 525i 93. And I can say you're the only person, I found that is dedicated to the E34. Thank you and please keep doing what you're doing
You should make a video fixing the window, i need to fix 3 of them
dagucciboy will do just for you and me and us lol
7:34 YOU KNOW HE IS A REAL DRIVER WHEN HE JUST PAST TROUGH A GAS STATION AND MANAGE TO JUST SKIP A 2 MIN STOP LIGHT
that's how you know he is a real driver !
You are a king my dude !
E46 was totaled last week, had it for 18 months, now I’m looking at e34s I love the styling and look of the car
JaKicks dam that sucks but it’s start of a new chapter I reccomend a manual e34 a 540 is almost as good as a m5 but cost less. 535 is torquey. 525 with m50 is best bang for buck !
The Stache is back! I just moved from San Diego to ATL with my two e34s and there is one thing I learned...don’t take those junkyard finds for granted in CA. The parts out here are hella dry. Anyway, keep the vids coming!
Ryan Riesenberger I heard the east coast Is dry 😅 let me know if you need parts !
Great video as always, E34's are very reliable, engine wise the 2.4TD is less reliable than the others. My parents bought a 92 525i brand new, I learnt to drive on that car, really missed it, when my parents decided to replace it, it had 187K miles on the clock, without any issues other than basic maintenance.
isn't 525tds the least reliable?
The 2.5 tds is far more reliable than the 2.4td so many of them had issues. BMW had that engine on the first e39.
I have an e34, and you just told me exactly wtf is wrong with my car hahah
“Once he says yes to Doing a pull, drive it like you stole it 💀”
😂😂🤝
These cars are so retro cool
I agree 🙌
Worst thing I ever replaced on my e34 was the rear subframe bushes. A Major job, so worth checking out. But not overly apparent they`re on the way out till you really start to feel a handling difference!
What's the lifespan on those? Trying to convince my partner to get an E34 after she sells her Ford Territory, but subframe bushing cost and lifespan was a big reason we're selling that car to begin with lol.
@@Zonda1996 I'd say just check them out, if they don't look bad then they've been changed. They'll only need done once. Don't cost a lot to change yourself just budget a whole day's work
These cars were like the middle man/happy medium of classic BMW sedans. One of the first cars that had airbags standard, but still doesn't cost as much to own as a newer gen BMW sedan. I would definitely consider one of these, since these were also one of the last cars that still can take regular 87 octane in the tank.
Just bought an E34 525i and before i did i checked a lot of your videos did help me out a lot thnx man
Keep it up dude! The growth is crazy! 🤙🏻
Travelwithchris thanks man ! It’s slowly going but hopefully it keeps growing. Same with you ! Videos are dope we might go to Peru !
Love your videos, bought my first e34 several months ago (‘95 530iA), love the body style!
Ben Zimmerman yeah fun car ! Great sound to !
Look after it correctly & it will be the very best car you will ever own at this price level. it will cost 10's of thousands to buy a better car & then you may not like it.
Rust proof it in all the usual places .
As you Use it, Save up some spare cash each month for one day eventually to restore it to Mint Original by an Expert.
Save whatever you would pay in Finance payments on a small new car.
Haha! Good video man! Glad you liked the stickers. It was cold when I measured sorry. I’m going to start recording in March 🤙🏽 The slack was really real.
WHOTUCKIS yeah man ! Nice coilover video tho
Cold 🥶?
Yeah Ard....
we’ve heard that excuse playboi. 😂
J'Are Mansa Right.. there’s videos up now tho. 🤷🏽♂️
Hello from Greece , i was a proud owner of a 1990 518 with 133 hp
E34 the best 😍
Hama 750 I agreeeee !
5000 subs in no time man if you keep the uploads comin 👌
MrJackDaniels111 still got the day ones ! Thanks for sticking around
keep this bad boy on roads bro keep this beauty in shape ❤❤
Why do you still have soooo few subs??? Does everyone only love the 3 series?? :(( I really want your channel to go big so you can make more money and start tuning them e34s man. If it helps you please do some shit posting or whatever to gain more subs man! Love your vids and cars!!
Dude same here it’s cause I have nappy crazy hair I scare people away. Nah I think it’s cause not many people like e34s or they just haven’t stumbled upon the channel. I really want to mod the car to ! Really want a turbo build!
@@StacheCam An e34 with like a m54b28 or even b25, a turbo , all black and with the dark brown leather interior is my dream car. Throw some bbs's and put it on air whit a big sub in the trunck. I sware to God, if I ever can do that on the level i dream of (with plenty of attention to the small details) i don't think I would ever sell that car. Hell, if the future fucks petrol up, i may consider even swapping an electric drive-train in there, if i can keep the manual transmission, of course :))
IN the UK, Watch for Rust on door bottoms, wear in the STEERING BOX = Mis use or very High miles, Way above 200,000 Miles. Wandering on a level road / Motorway. the car will Waver all over the place.
The Cure :-
Use a Qualified Mechanic due to Safety. Bad steering is Deadly & a UK MOT Fail.
loosen the Locking Nut on the Steering box , & adjust using an allen key to tighten the Steering box. REMEMBER to TIGHTEN THE LOCK NUT .
drive & Try, Then Adjust More As Appropriate, . It will Take a while , Do NOT OVER ADJUST,
YOU Will Not be able to Turn the wheel !!
If it will Not Adjust, Then A New Steering box is needed At HUGE Cost New, Or Buy a Good one 2nd hand. Well Over £1200 +Vat & Fitting . $1500. Half the Price of a good e34.
Greetings from Sydney, Australia. I am looking at buying an E34, 1995 525i Executive. Thank you for a very informative video.
Did you ever buy it? If you did, how is it?
E34 looks 🔥
Cool video👍🏽
Such a nice video man.Also if the car has sunroof be sure to check water drain holes on sunroof not blocked for it will cause rust ...
Forgot about that one ! Thanks man !
I just met him today, damn bro your video is fire!
sick video bruv, really great insight. keep it up.
Ali Cay thanks man ❤️
You deserve more subs bro
Zsolt J one day they’ll come ! But for now dis is Fam
Hey gr8 vod helped me a lot, I've been looking to one that it's almost perfect but have transmission problems (Auto) where could I get a "new" one (manual) or where could I get the spares? Or would i better skip this car?
If is of any help the asking price of the car is about 2815 (USD) (ps I'm not in the us nor the car is in the us and it's a 525i European spec)
You make me want an E34 now lol looks like an awesome daily
Hi. Greetings from Germany. I Drive with my e34 from Germany to the Netherlands. Its a nice Car.
A Rattling / Tinkling noise on a rough road is usually steering Drop links = a very common easy fix. Never Buy a " BOY RACER cAR with Lowered Suspension & Modified Parts , UNLESS YOU are WILLING to REPLACE them ALL to Suit YOUR Needs .
Try to buy ORIGINAL CARS & Keep them ORIGINAL.
IF you wish to MODIFY one , Buy a Rough Example / almost Wrecker & Restore it Your WAY.
Gemmi thank you I didn’t really think about purchasing out side of the US.
theres a guy selling a 525i near me for $7000; 65,xxx miles, Nice red paint, like new interior and engine bay looks super clean too. looks like the thing rolled off the BMW factory last month. it sucks I got no money though.
Aceman that’s very low miles ! Sounds like a good car. I don’t know where you live but that’s pretty pricey. I understand the mileage part but you can get a 540 with a six speed for that price😅
Charlotte?
@@StacheCam where can i get a 540 from??
Rear strut towers on e34-s can be bent/warped if the car has been through a lot of abuse.You can check that by watching the car strait from the back side and if one side is lower then other while both springs are fine then one tower is probably bent. You can prevent that in your e34 if you are tracking or drifting it by putting rear strut brace or even better welding reinforcement to the towers with cross bars.
E34 gang!

Question, there's a e34 525i 5sp near me that's in great condition. Interior and exterior are in great shape. Car is about 8/10. Lady is asking $6,500 for it. KBB is $2,300. What a reasonable offer in this inflated market. Car has 150 miles on it. Any input would be appreciated
Whaaaa suuuhhhh duuuuuddee
Shaun Elam ahhhhhhhhh suuuuhhh dude
👍👍👍👍
Yu got the good one with the 6th gear!! Maybe yu should tell about the bc... those M wheels are great!!
I need the drop on those rims
Dude I have s 535i e34, my buddy has a 525 and a 530 and all of them have this issue with the gas door not wanting to stay shut. They will constantly want to open up slightly. So annoying. Lol. We have fixed the issue with a really small piece of some good velcro that has some kinda sticky shit or tape on the back sides so you can stick it wherever
I feel the pain ! I hate when I buy one and I see the lid off 😞
@@StacheCam yea thankfully none of them are missing the gas door. Just doesnt want to stay shut all of the time. Lol. Love your cars tho bro!!!
I put tape on my e30 headlights, but I never beat on it
I wonder if they have any BMW meetups in my city? I'll have to look.
They definitely have some ! What city ?
Cutting through the gas station alone is worth watching this video
found an e34 530 in my area for $750, lots of problem parts have been replaced on it. might just scoop it up :^)
Dude.. I work in a dealership. I've never seen or heard of either a cup holder or that coin tray. Where do they sit and how do I get them? That's awesome!
E34 legendary car. Say Russia. Demon huligan all road and sports. Good car expedition long drive 1000km Liters 65 of tank
Raits Hots ❤️👌
shorty fine
530i v8 engine,is it reliable? And what are the issues that may occur?
Stupid reliable !
i love that, don't buy if it has tape over the headlight some fboy has been drifting it
Felt bad after I said it 😂
@@StacheCam i wouldn't, if there pitting tape on the lights then they are rallying them. That what i used to do. I was trying to be head fboy but i just couldnt succeed lol. Great vids man. Cant wait to see the next one
I had a guy offer me a 1990 535i with 160k miles for my 2000 crown vic p71, what do you think?
Im from argentina and i fucking love e34s, please do more videos about it!
Santiago Sbabeee will do ❤️
Bro
What seats are those. The look nice! Are they Factory or Aftermarket?
Amazing channel! 👌🏻 Love all your E34s
Thanks bro ! They are factory sport seats !
StacheCam man they look sick in the E34! 👌🏻
I could name at least ten things for a person buying this exact model to look for that will cost them over $1000 to fix if it is defective. You're talking about cupholders and how major structural components can be tested by jiggling them in a parking lot.
Shoutout tuck! Haha
Ich mag dich bist cool
About to buy E34 525i, im so excited, do you know did 525i '91 came with LSDs some poeple say they got it stock with the car some say they never came and do you know how can i check if i got LSD is there extra letter on there? The car that i found and going to check is Euro Spec has heated seats, all electric windows, its been restorated aswell by the owner who now has to sell it due to growing family.
Fox1e in another video he said if it has seat warmers it has LSD, from what I’ve read it’s bc it’s the winter package
@@_Greasyzoku_ Oh thanks, found the clip, cheers.Will know more, tomorrow is monday so gonna visit the owner and hopefully buy!

Hello, I have a 1994 BMW E34= Can the A/C condenser be changed out , without removing the front bumper and front grill?
👌🏽
Dinky McGee 👊🏾
Hey New subscriber!! My uncle gave me his 1993 525i it was just collecting dust but I drove it from LA to Sacramento! 2 issues were the Shaking at the 55mph and rough idle at a stop light. Can you go more into detail about the Shaking? Is it the thrust arm?
I want to revive this car!
Niccce I recommend fluid changes and check vacuum leaks. You should replace all arms when you are under there. Just cause if you replace lower than a month later they will go back because the upper arms never were changed
No fear. Next up. 🙂
Please can someone help...i have the 535i e34 i am asking what kind of gaz i put in it 91 95 99?
I'm from South Africa, saw a E34 525i Auto... Good condition low mileage. Is it worth a buy?
Whole front suspension needs a redo
That’s pretty common on them, not a bad choice
yo nice vid fam i just got sum 540 struts from sum cali guy goana put it on my 525 i
What would be a good price to sell a 525i? Inside looked amazing. Like brand new almost. Has 260k but runs good. Everything works.
Not sure but the market value are risen
@@StacheCam I found one for $1600 with 226k on the clock. Seller claims it's garage kept with records. I'm still gonna negotiate.
Doesn't seem to be any mechanical nightmares with this car
Me and my mate were looking to buy a 1989 one the guy says it runs fine but when he drives it it overheats anyone know what the problem could be? Plz help
Could be a lot of things, start with bleeding the systems, check oil to see if it mixed, depends how it over heats could be a thermostat or a head gasket
@@StacheCam praying it isn’t a cracked head or block but thanks man 🙏
Hey what is the best for a high schooler 525i or 535i? Which one will last longer?
Where do you look for these cars?
What website? Link?
Americans. "If you do hear that noise."
Cars shall not make noises.
But srsly bro: nice video. Could've gone for the usual rust-parts to look for. But otherwise - dope channel
I don’t know rust spots cause I live in California 😅
Where can I buy BMW spare parts, online worlwide shipping e34 parts
This was my first car back in high school. Does anyone know where I can find and buy a used E34? I’ve been looking online and can’t find anything.
I always check offer up and Facebook, good luck finding a manual tho !
Im about to buy my first 1994 530 and im glad I found your channel to help me in the future with my bwm!, keep it up bro🔥
My e34 inside lights is not workking i am looked everybfuses!!??
Hi Stache. Q on a used 525i. I tested one and started the engine (started up just fine and sounds great). But white smoke (not a whole lot) started coming out from underneath the engine block. I had the owner back up the car about a meter or so to check. There were a couple of spots of oil. Worn out gaskets? Or sign of something worse? Any help would be great. Thanks in advance!
Brian Tycangco sounds like a typical e34. Next time you go check for coolant in the oil. If the white smoke smells sweet, stay away. The smoke usually goes away after it warms up. It’s usually condensation from the exhaust. The oil leak might be from oil pan or oil filter housing gasket. (Very common). Check the back of valve cover to see and leaks from gasket. Make sure to have the car running for a while to see if it’s going to over heat.
