Rear dampers could be rebuild by Nagengast in Poland. Or put in the new KW V3 from Raab Motorsport that just came out. Rear diff doesn't need an LSD because it already is one. Just have it rebuild at Westwood Performance. The lower front control arms can be upgrades to the ones from E31. Same size but beefier bushings. As for exhaust stuff, Supersprint can certify that their system is in conformity with H regulations. Souce: Had an E34 touring for a couple of years. Ah, the S38 waterpump is NLA - at the dealer and aftermarket. But you have your contacts I guess.
Misha, have owned a 3.8 for 20 years before passing it down to my nephew. If it’s running rough do valve clearances asap and fuel filter. Then start poking about checking compression etc. I’m sure I will comment more as the E34 videos come along as I did all mechanical work myself 😊👍
The 420G 6 speed gearbox is the same but the bell housing is different because of the 540 V8.. if your 5 speed is in good condition keep it because the 6th speed is mostly an overdrive (very long ratio)
I's so excited for this, it's such a unique build, you don't see many of these anymore and it's going to sound incredible with an exhaust. What a specimen
wow... hands down, Sreten is the Top G at reparing old BMWs, I would never have guessed the issue. It took so much effort, and he fixed it so fast, incredible skill, worth every penny, go watch on PPV! Can't stress this enough, this man is a miracle worker, fixing such an isolated issue in such a short amount of time, really have to watch his video to find out!
Really nice "birthday gift". ;) If the car still has the 3,6 brakes, i wouldn't keep them stock if you want to drive it on the ring, they heat up a bit too quickly, also the cooling for the turbine wheels is not present. The rear shocks are normal to leak a bit, it gets worse when you lift up the car. If you remove the auto leveling, you should check where to bridge the circuit, best would be close to the engine or use a 535i servo pump. The diff is already 25% limited by default on the M5. Also the M5 has 90l tank by default, 100l war an option. I would recommend to adjust valve clearance a.s.a.p, also very important, check for cracked air hoses and check if the vacuum system isn't leaking. Next you should get your trotthle-bodies synchronized. I must say, you kept it quiet simple in the video, but the S38 is that sort of engine, where it's not enough to simply do normal maintenance tasks. If you don't know what has been done in the past, you will have a huge list of checks, fixes adjustments and other stuff to care about, before you push it hard. You say it's not running that well, please check everything and get it running well, before you drive it more. A soft and easy lap at the ring should be ok, i hope. ;)
Hi Induleo, nice comment. I've never heard of a 100l option tank for the E34 M5. Alpina offered an extra tank though. The cluster is from an E320 750i, which had 100l tanks and thus the 100l gauge.
@@utubemember525 agreed, the 100l tank was on the E32. Maybe someone fitted a 100l gauge on the cluster, because the M5 was upgraded with a 100l tank. I can not tell from what I see in the video, but the 100l tank is made out of steel and would have probably rusted, this one looks really fine! On the other hand, I'm not so sure tough that the whole cluster is from an E32 750i. Just looked at an original cluster here and the only thing that doesn't match is the fuel gauge and of course the chrome rings. ;) 750i: 100l, 280km/h, 7000rpm red line at 5800, econometer, watertemp and no M logo, but ASC. M5: 90l, 300km/h, 8000rpm red line at 7000, oiltemp, watertemp and M logo in the middle.
Don’t ruin the interior with a cage. Maybe go for an OEM plus look restoration. Do a chassis dry ice cleaning. See what you have to work with. Tighten/refresh the chassis. Mecanical and engine upgrades YES!
I'd say for the first year, just build the car as original. I don't consider better brakes or suspension as "mods", unless they're for track use. Sooo, buy whatever is nice and available for the road and simply good for track, and enjoy the car!
Great video, I just love the M5 so much. The look of that car just gives away confidence, what a classic. Personally I'd try to keep the balance between the "M5 stockness" and needed track features but I believe I wouldn't go overboard with that thing. After all it's a matter of personal choice so whatever you do, have fun, stay safe and hopefully soon we will here some S38 screaming around the ring. Good luck P.S Im with the "keep these wheels squad" lol
No M5 had 100L, only up to 91 (Gulf and Japan ones have 80). Someone just swapped it from E32 and put the original needle. The Alpina B10 however had 110L on order.
Fijn dat de M5 er zo goed uitziet, wat achterstallig onderhoud wegwerken en dan een jaar er mee rijden en bedenken wat je er wel of niet mee gaat doen. Veel plezier ermee Misha.
I have ground control coilovers in mine and it rides well and handles well. They run Koni shocks so are easy to replace. Also, the rattle from the gearbox on idle may actually be the internals of the box itself. When the S38 doesnt idle well it can rattle, especially if it has a SM flywheel. Mine sounds the same but not as loud.
Upgrades upgrades upgrades...definitely keep the rims, the M-Parallels are timeless and have inspired so many copies...my advise is not to go too still with the suspension. Like the E30, you want some lean/roll/pitch...it's all about how one gets the best out of the car. The chassis is communicative, a brilliant setup for enthusiasts who appreciate balance.
If it is already on Polish plates you can modify whatever you need. The inspection in Poland is once a year, it costs the equivalent of 25 Euros and it takes 20 minutes. If your car has an equal brake balance, you have no play in the steering and all the lights work you're good.
Misha, why don't you want to keep M-parallel wheels? IMHO style37 is a perfect match for 34s. They freshen up the look while not feeling "out of the era". Plus, they're original "M" wheels. Or, can keep them as second pair of "winter wheels" or "road-trip wheels". I myself was looking for m-parallels for my 530i, couldn't find a good set and went for "style 71" from e46.
He is an awesome mechanic, who can diagnose and fix those cars I don*t know about Tesla since that car is different from the others, but he has a lot of knowledge on BMWs and I suppose the others.
Well, if you want even crazy mods to be road-legal keeping it on polish plates seems like best idea, honestly nothing is being written into paperwork (unlike Germany). But for example, even with top class roll cage you will not pass technical inspection .. it's quite tricky, but should be easier than in Germany.
Mischa you gotta turn some wrenches man. Make your list and knock out all the easy stuff. Don't forget to do all the pulleys and tensioners. Water pump errrthing lol. Subframe bushes list is endless but lots of it is easy. Let's see you get hands on.
Glad to see the old girl alive again! The problem was a rather tricky one, just wait until you see what it was.
The most underrated car channel in all of RUclips. You sir are sublime 👌
Fancy doing an E46 M3 RACP ?
Come on maaaan!! I can’t wait!!
Alpina was hiding a nail in the engine. Let's see what this thing has in it:)!
Awesome crossover episode
90 litre tank. Sreten is just so knowledgeable and a pleasure to listen to with his endless fountain of BMW enthusiasm
Sretan, yes.
@@Snake2303 Sreten. 😉
And Self taught
@@lollypop9580 Sreten? A hear Sretan. boh
Too bad the other dude owns the car and is going to fuck it up.
M539 keep it stock, Mischa modify everything . The old dilemma.
I could feel Sreten wincing listening to your plans of modification
Delete SLS was not very keep it stock :D
@@GregoryEsman Lmaooo "the brakes are pretty good stock"
Leave it alone don't bastardize it with bbs and all that shit.
@@GregoryEsman I was wincing about his ideas too.
- "We gonna modify this, this, this..."
- Sreten faints
Damn it! I was hoping to hear Misha say "Coooming up!' just as Sreten arrived! 😂
I thought that he's gonna edit the famous screwing up sequence. ;)
No better man to work on your E34 than Sreten. Great colab!
WOOO! Two of my favourite channels together! Awesome combo.
I love that @m539 Restorations wants to keep everything as original as possible. I'm the same way.

@@mgcharoudin Keep the standard rims!
And the timing chain tensioner should be replaced ASAP with e36 S50B32 item.
Stelios! Grüße von Dele....
If you get rid of these wheels, I will never forgive you! :P But seriously, these are probably one of the best BMW wheels ever. Pls keep them :)
Don’t do a cage and sequential transmission. Make it a restomod by improving the car in the details but keeping it a classy M5
Misha, have owned a 3.8 for 20 years before passing it down to my nephew. If it’s running rough do valve clearances asap and fuel filter. Then start poking about checking compression etc. I’m sure I will comment more as the E34 videos come along as I did all mechanical work myself 😊👍
And I had the pleasure of working on it for your nephew.
Beautiful example. D
When your two separate worlds collide.. Looking forward to this project from both sides - yours and Sreten's!
I love seeing youtubers in the same country and same theme(cars) coming together. I love Misha & M539 - now I can see both - win win.
A Serbian and a Russian walk to the Nürburgring...
while talking english :D
The 420G 6 speed gearbox is the same but the bell housing is different because of the 540 V8.. if your 5 speed is in good condition keep it because the 6th speed is mostly an overdrive (very long ratio)
I'm so excited for this series!
Keep it as it is. Modern suspension , brakes and tires, the inline sixes are sweet.
I'll say it again, two of my favorite youtubers working together. Awsome! Looking forwards to the progress of project ....... (got a name yet?)
Marta
@@mgcharoudin Nice! thanks!
You have the best bmw rims ever, don't change them.
Misha, you clearly fell into the luck dumpster to get Sreten to look at your M5. The best BMW tech on the planet!
I's so excited for this, it's such a unique build, you don't see many of these anymore and it's going to sound incredible with an exhaust. What a specimen

Love the E34. I loved my E34. Can't wait to see the content and the journey of this E34 M5.
The E34 M5 my favorite obtainable car icon. The R6 sounds amazing..
You have the right guy looking at your car Misha ! Sreten is a perfectionist ! I love watching his channel too with his humourist twist on things !
My two fav youTube people.. much love to both of you!
3:06 Man, did you hear the door close? SOLID!
Misha, you have a great network of knowledgeable and enthusiastic people. Great stuff. I love this car. I hope it remains mostly stock.
Finally!! Two of my favourite RUclipsrs working together!!!
Love to see two mates being the mate they want
Sreten & Misha😍
A match made in pancakes!
Greetings to you, Apex and the Ring.
Sreten is the best! Whatever this guy tells you, do it. 😉
Misha: Yes mods........
Sretan: Nooooooo....
LOL

amazing collab and project , looking forward for more :)
Dutch plates: "DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY" (as seen in Lethal Weapon 2)
What a car, good choice Misha
M539 Restorations what a great man and the BMW ///M division lover...Respect!!!
M539 Restorations is a class act
Sreten is the Bmw Guru you can tell he loved this E34 M5, I mean who wouldn't its a classic, which should be left original in my opinion...
Beautiful M5 Misha best of luck with it. Avus blue is my favorite BMW color. My old E36 M3 was Avus Blue.
The best man for the job!
Like is clicked before we see the video just because, THIS IS THE BEST COLLAB EVER !

Lovely to see my Sreten colab with Apex
I'm so happy this is happening!
Project Chicago definitely could get a pause for this ❤️
Perfect timing is right...just got my m539 sweatshirt when getting home from a work trip and greeted with this video when I fire up the computer.
Greatest collab of all time love you guys
Best crossover episode ever
I always click fast to your videos Misha, but I clicked even faster to this one
Happy birthday.
RIMAC ON NURBURGRINGGGGGG
Sweet collaboration gents 😊
What, what? What a nice surprise. Sreten here! 👍

Seeing that V10 arrive
👍The BMW doctor 👍
M PARALLELS FOR THE WIN!!!!
que gran maquina ese m5 le falta un poquito de dedicacion y despues a disfrutarlo al circuito Misha
The ratteling sound when you push the clutch is the bearings in the gearbox. Not flywheel or clutch bearing.
Keep the standard rims!
