You brought that old dog back to life, amazing result. Maybe you can talk to the owner to visit the car more often. Overall great work and thanks for taking us along
Dude amazing! You really went above and beyond on this one! It was really neglected, but it’s come such a long way mechanically and now cosmetically thanks to your help. Couldn’t be happier with the results 🙏🙌
Some of the most dramatic before and after pictures on your channel. Chasing perfection can produce amazing results. The refresh of the trims with trim paint brought back the classic beauty of the e34. Great work!
Nice work 👍 This car is proof that back in those days they used to paint cars the correct way, the responsible way. Such a beautiful car, in a classic kind of way. The best feeling and the most rewarding about polishing cars is when you remove the masking tape at the end.
Bro hats off for the editing, music and general cohesiveness of this vid. The details and the workmanship are top notch too. This was a great way to spend 40 mins 💪💪
The vibes, the aesthetic, the work and effort put into these videos is why this will always be my favorite detailing channel. Car looks great another dope video!
Seeing cars in this state always makes me think about that period of time where iconic cars like this one, the e28 m5, and even the e30 m3 weren't held in as high regard as they are today. They could be bought for very little and as such were neglected. I wonder what modern day cars, if any, will see the same periods of neglect followed by a rise to the top like these have.
I often think about this too my friend! I believe the access to information in this internet age may have ruined that cycle from happening again. Unfortunately
Also i have my doubts that a lot of modern cars will be able to reach the same milages as the cars from the 80´s/90´s. Certainly if we´re talking about 400k km! 😅 All these downsized engines have to endure way too much stress with todays hp figures and i don´t even wanna think about how people treat turbocharged engines. Many of them probably weren´t exactly properly warmed and especially cooled down during their drives.
Again it's me man I just watched the video detailed it took few days because I was too busy I think the owner should never repaint the car it's looking extraordinary show car quality
Ith think the rusted areas might need a paint job like underbody and some areas like that but the exterior don't need any not even any touch up because you did everything again appreciating your work buddy I know I'm saying this too much times in the same video still I think it's the most hazed car in our channel right it look like the car got a repain if it is shown to a person who don't know a lot about detailing surely his thought might be nice repaint job right again superb work bro
What a great watch! Turned out amazing to say the least. The work and effort on the car + shooting and editing the video is 🤯 Thank you for this long format goodness!
Excellent work, killer result as always. I'm fond of examples like this that look good from 10 feet but can be really used with little remorse. Cheers!
I love doing cars like this. I don’t have to stress out about getting every single scratch out. I can just get the swirls out and make it shiny again. I did a 96’ ford truck and the main goal, shine! And that was by far the best detail experience that I had in awhile 😂. Looks fantastic and I always say it, great job! 👍🏻
I'm not even kidding when I say that M5 in the "before" state has nicer paint than almost every E34 I've encountered here in Arizona, haha. Most E34's here (mine included) have at least 50% of their clear coat straight up gone.
Imo opinion and I’ve detailed cars for 45 years plus you’ve achieved great results on a well used car take pride in the fact another classic has been saved 👍🏻😉🇬🇧👏👏
Love the channel and want so show some love and order a hoodie but I appreciate costs to the uk are probably high but let me know if I can help with courier costs , great channel 👌🏼
love E34 M5s. was one of the first cars i got interested in after i crashed my dad's E32 750iL in high school. would still love to own one but they aren't cheap to own to say the least
I’ve heard people argue that these are better than e30s. I’ve seen em but never rode in one or know anything abt them including maintenance or durability ig. For this one to have 400k they seem pretty good ngl but if anyone has their opinion on which is better, an m5 or just a regular e30 can they please share and lmk why. I personally just like the looks of an e30.
Whatever you like more is the only thing that is more important. Your budget will dictate the quality of car. Pretty much nothing else matters. Opinions are random car dudes on the internet will not help you at all haha
I do! I let it dwell for about 10 minutes and then foam over it. With the intention that my mitt may be massaging it in. And even if it doesn’t. I’m not wasting water either way haha
Came across your video and def. wasn't disappointed! VERY impressive work and some of the music gave me gran Turismo menu vibes haha. Night and day difference esp. on that black paint. liked and subscribed! If I may ask, what did you polish the glass with? Also why didn't you use the same trim spray paint on the moldings as you did on the front grille bits?
Thank you Lucas! I really appreciate that. I used a yellow foam pad on a rotary polisher for the glass, same compound. I would have used SEM on the pillars as well but I ran out 😭. The product I used is my second favourite
@@ChromaticGarage ahh I see. Thank you for the reply and answer. The car looks absolutely sick, considering the age and mileage it has. Love the content.
It’s hard to always know with the editing, but when you apply the Iron X and let it dwell, do you then just foam soap the car without washing the Iron X off? Thx.
Jesus. That BMW's previous wash process must of included a gravel filled wash mitt along with a drying towel backed by a brick.
Haha I believe it was the result of a car cover and wind BUT yeah might as well have been bricks 😭
You brought that old dog back to life, amazing result. Maybe you can talk to the owner to visit the car more often. Overall great work and thanks for taking us along
Thank you Kai! I had a lot of fun doing this and making the video. Glad you enjoyed 🤝🤝
Dude amazing! You really went above and beyond on this one! It was really neglected, but it’s come such a long way mechanically and now cosmetically thanks to your help. Couldn’t be happier with the results 🙏🙌
Thanks guys! Hyped for you to check it out irl🤝
You dropped this 👑, Mike
Haha appreciate you bro☺️🤝
Well done dude. You were the person that the car needed.
Maybe god first. But a close second yes I would agree. Haha thanks man
i was starting to miss the videos... was rewatching the LX470 detailing to pass time then this uploaded
Haha yeah this one took a little to finish up the editing. Super super long
I don't even have to start watching before smashing the like button!
Haha thank you bro!🫶
Some of the most dramatic before and after pictures on your channel. Chasing perfection can produce amazing results. The refresh of the trims with trim paint brought back the classic beauty of the e34. Great work!
Thank you so much man! I really appreciate you watching 😊
Man just casually says "40 to 45 hours of work" like it only took one afternoon. Absolutely knocked this one out of the park.
Haha trying my best bro. I appreciate you watching!
Nice work 👍 This car is proof that back in those days they used to paint cars the correct way, the responsible way. Such a beautiful car, in a classic kind of way. The best feeling and the most rewarding about polishing cars is when you remove the masking tape at the end.
Thank you bro! This car was painted like 3 additional times though haha. Most definitely nothing oem
Seeing this was such an inspiration to get my e34 back to its glory! 😢. So much work to do, but she's worth it.
Any time spent having fun is absolutely worth it bro!
Fantastic as always. I cant really give enough Credit to your work, its magic. How about the interiour?
Thank you very much my friend! Honestly interiors really are not very enjoyable to film so I stay away from them mostly
@@ChromaticGarage thats ok, i just wonder if it was in same "great" condition as the exteriour before you start? Lovely job anyway.
Stunning transformation, raised the value a ton, 35 minutes long and enjoyed every second 👍
Thank you so much for watching it through! I appreciate it
What a car. I need an E34! What a video! I needed my Chromie fix! Thank you for this :)
They really are a great car. Both to drive and look at. Thanks bro 😊
That paint is HAMMERED! 😁
So so so bad haha.
Grassroots detail loving right here!!!! 🤙🏼 love from the states
Thank you brotha! Much love!

Well I wouldn't have believed paint that bad would come up so good 😎

Looks absolutely stunning. From what it was to what it is now, it has come a long way.
Thank you! I had a lot of fun with this one
Pretty good improvement man. Music and footage is at it best as always. The car is an icon and still a dream of mine. Thank you for this.
And thank you for watching John! I appreciate it 🤝
you simply make by far the best videos in this area💪🏻 keep it up👍🏻
Thank you brotha! Much love 🤝
Hot damn. That was unbelievably satisfying, insane job!
Glad you like it Stephen! Thank you!
I love your channel for its integrity. Vulcan are just great with this M5. Much respect to both
Thank you bro! Trying my best to only do what I love, nothing catered to weird social media standards haha
A brilliant video, Mike👍
The finished results are amazing! That is a mega transformation!👍😎
All the best, John.
Thank you very much John! I had a lot of fun with this one 😊
Mike you saved my day...a new Chromatic Garage Video.....and on top such an amazing car. Great Job, man, great job...Greets from Bavaria, Alex.
Haha very glad to save you day! Thank you very much Alex. I hope you week is well!
What a stunning car.. still! As always, great work man. Awesome video 🫡
Thank you brotha! Much love
What a great watch! Turned out amazing to say the least. The work and effort on the car + shooting and editing the video is 🤯 Thank you for this long format goodness!

Excellent work, killer result as always. I'm fond of examples like this that look good from 10 feet but can be really used with little remorse. Cheers!
Thanks man! Very much agreed, ready to be driven however someone wants without hesitation

Haha yeah it typically is more enjoyable. More art project less cynical
Wow, that car looked like it had been dragged through a hedge backwards before you got a hold of it! Fantastic transformation!
Haha it sure did. Thank you for watching bro!
Super Arbeit am e34 und ein tolles Video 👏 Weiter so und Danke aus dem Black Forest😉
Thank you very much for watching bro!
Another absolute BANGER, the detail work in incredible. Great work!
Thank you so much bro!🤝🤝
Beautiful. Great work Mike!
Thank you very much bro!
With you detailing anything can be saved. Nice work!!!
Haha improved, maybe. Saved? They’re all doomed 😭
Sensational as always
Appreciate you David!
Wow this M5 looks awesome 🎉😊
Thank you very much bro!
That M5 looks AMAZING. Great job it’s at least 95% what a looker.
I agree man! Good car. Thanks for watching!
Great to see your still having fun!!! Turned out phenomenal bro!!!!! Great work!
Thank you Smurf man! I hope you have been doing awesome!
Oh man, your edits are just awesome! Congrats man, this is just astonishing!
Thanks Raphael! Hope you’re having a great week🤝
Gorgeous car, you brought the looks back to life!!
Thank you man! Was a lot of fun 😄
Very sad to see how an M5 can get that neglected, great to see that it‘s getting now the attention it deserves. Great job !
I think it’s best to look at it not as neglected but well used! This would be sad if it was low mileage but this thing was DRIVEN haha. Thank you bro!
Outstanding! You brought this one back beautifully!! Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much man! Hope you had a great weekend!
the amount of effort that went into this video is insane
Admiro ques faz vídeos no seu próprio tempo, e não cede a pressão da plataforma.
I appreciate that man! Here because I love this stuff not because of likes ☺️
Respect what you're doing. You have taught me a lot despite it being a tideous process for detailing. It is most definitely worth it.
Thank you very much bro! I’m glad there are takeaways from these videos 🤝
We back for another banger video by Chromatic Garage , Bro you never disappoint . Much appreciated
I’m glad you always like them Abel! Much love bro!
This is another awesome video. Love your work! 👌
Thank you very much bro!
I just bought a black e34 wagon from a family friend. Detailing it this weekend. Watching this video for inspiration. Thanks for sharing!!
Chasing perfection... well done as always
Thank you brother!
Amazing transformation, so satisfying.
Thanks for watching friend!
Boppin' to these tunes while looking at a beautiful E34 get the treatment. What's not to love.
Haha that’s what I like to hear friend! Thank you
Amazing transformation! Anyone would be in awe of these results.
Thank you bro!
Nice work sir! Boy, what a turd that was, but you definitely sparked some life back into it. It was amazing to see the improvement in just one pass!
Thanks Michael! Haha agreed, every car has more life in it, you just have to really dig for it sometimes
What a stunning result!
Thank you friend!!
I'm not even kidding when I say that M5 in the "before" state has nicer paint than almost every E34 I've encountered here in Arizona, haha. Most E34's here (mine included) have at least 50% of their clear coat straight up gone.
Haha that’s crazy man. Would not want to be trying to find a car under that much sun😭
Definitely look into AMMO NYC's Frame Pro Trim Coat for the black plastics! Rejuvenates them so well w/o having to paint.
Killer job on this M5 man!
That was fun. Nicely done ✅
Thank you man!
Imo opinion and I’ve detailed cars for 45 years plus you’ve achieved great results on a well used car take pride in the fact another classic has been saved 👍🏻😉🇬🇧👏👏
Amazing work.Great.Enjoy your videos.Keep going👌👌👌
Thank you very much bro!
Great job as always, so great to watch revival of such an awesome T.Rex
From what it was to what you did to it that looks amazing
Thanks David! Appreciate you!
10/10 as always sir !
Thank you bro!☺️
Absolut great result! The car looks nice and fresh!!
Thanks Hansjörg! Happy to give it the life it deserved
Love the channel and want so show some love and order a hoodie but I appreciate costs to the uk are probably high but let me know if I can help with courier costs , great channel 👌🏼
Thank you so much Matt! Yeah it really is a shame there are not any cheaper options available. But I just appreciate you enjoying the videos 🤝🫶
Sick production and editing
Thank you dude!
love E34 M5s. was one of the first cars i got interested in after i crashed my dad's E32 750iL in high school. would still love to own one but they aren't cheap to own to say the least
Great job on a classic car, that I hope they continue to drive daily!
This channel is too underrated
Haha thank you man! I do wish the channel was bigger. But only really to help fund bigger projects 😊
Brought back from the DEAD 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yessir!! Appreciate you bro!
Im sad that the community getting bigger but happy that the quality is getting better 👌(fan from the R129 Mercedes)
Thank you friend! I appreciate you sticking around 😊
This is why a hire an internet service for! Great video as always
Hahaha yes yes. Thank you brother!
Wsg my g... been a min... I see you still killing it!! 💯👟
Appreciate that bro! Hope you have been doing good down there 🤝🤝
@@ChromaticGarage all good..just about to start detailing again...I miss it!
Awesome work man! Regards from Ireland!!
I’ve heard people argue that these are better than e30s. I’ve seen em but never rode in one or know anything abt them including maintenance or durability ig. For this one to have 400k they seem pretty good ngl but if anyone has their opinion on which is better, an m5 or just a regular e30 can they please share and lmk why.

Whatever you like more is the only thing that is more important. Your budget will dictate the quality of car. Pretty much nothing else matters. Opinions are random car dudes on the internet will not help you at all haha
E30 reminds me of lada. The only good looking e30 is the m3. I still dont understand the hype. Its the low budget bmw of the 80s.
@@Exekutioncro idk man I personally love the look of all e30s. I owned an e30 vert n it was nice I just liked my Miata I had before it more.
Considering what you started with...home run! Was it too cold for your four legged helper? Great video.
Thanks man! We try to not have her around when polishers are being run. A little loud for little ears haha
Did you put on the iron fallout remover then put snowfoam over the top and just rinse off? New to this detailing trying to get my head around it
I do! I let it dwell for about 10 minutes and then foam over it. With the intention that my mitt may be massaging it in. And even if it doesn’t. I’m not wasting water either way haha
Looking forward to every single video, boss
Glad you like them brotha!!
fantastic result
Thank you Eric!
Incredible ! Nothing more to say.. in really like to refinish my plastics on my MKiii GTI, too
LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!! Mad respect!! Fantastic content. Your film skills are on point as are you detailing skills. Keep em coming!!
Awesome video, but the Vulcan Motor Works link is not linking for me 😞
Should work now ☺️
E34 is in my top 10 most beautiful cars ever made. Maybe top 5.
I agree man! Really capturing the era of BMW with arguably the best drivetrain
This came out so good!! I need to go detail my black sapphire metallic bmw too. Right now it just looks like flat black 😅😅.
U r perfect, keep going dude❤
Thank you brotha!
what was the stuff you sprayed on before using the clay?
Optimum No Rinse!
@@ChromaticGarage Thank you sir!
Well damn... that was a hella turnaround 🤯🤯🤯
Thank you Matt! Much love 🤝
Great job! Beautiful car!
Holy sh*t dude! Wonderful work.
Finish it off by putting the orange indicators back in on the front 💥💥💥
That would be much nicer Forsure! Love amber

I had an e34 M5 3.8 back in the nineteens best car that i ever owend
Really really special car man! Glad you got to enjoy one
It’s hard to always know with the editing, but when you apply the Iron X and let it dwell, do you then just foam soap the car without washing the Iron X off? Thx.
You got it! I rarely ever rinse it, just foam over it so I can in theory rub it in further.
@@ChromaticGarage Okay, interesting. I’ll give that a shot next time. Thx
Awesome car and awesome job!
beutiful
Thanks Jaime! That many miles is absolutely insane haha. Hope you have been enjoying them!
looks great!
Much love 😊😊
Stunning
Thanks brotha!
