The Second part in our video series of bringing this high mileage E34 M5 back to life. This time we finish changing the gas tank strap and fixing the broken illuminated shift knob.

It's shops like these that give life back to classics like these. Kudos!

[@VulcanMotorWorks]

Thanks! It’s not always easy or straightforward fixing the old cars, but I love to see them on the road so we’re glad to work on them!

[@twinturbo1989]

I am enjoying every minute of this

[@VulcanMotorWorks]

Appreciate it! 🙏

[@arandomhippo]

Great work! Really respect your ‘fix instead of replace’ attitude 😎

[@VulcanMotorWorks]

Thanks! of course there are times that we have no choice but to replace parts, but I like to fix things whenever possible and practical.

[@blanbec14]

Is it expensive where you live to buy a beaten M5 ? Anyway, this will be very nice to drive when finished and this is exactly what every project must be. Some spent hours building oldies that will remain outdated and not worth the effort even if prettier. Congratulations for your choice and please update your journey. Cheers from France 🇫🇷

The value of all classic BMWs has gone up here especially M cars. We aren't doing this one really for the value of it though I just didn't want to see it rotting away when it could be fixed and driven. To me that's worth more than money...almost. We appreciate the support though and we will keep posting updates as often as possible!

😊i know you wont replace the parts but that exhaust looking a lil rusty maybe replace it with a loud one and pls add a wing

[@VulcanMotorWorks]

Haha it already has a louder aftermarket muffler. And I think E34 looks best without a wing, but if I find one that looks nice on it I might put one!

[@Chris-fw6ig]

Your doing it right I have two e34 s one 540 one 525 fix them to use and enjoy not for shows

[@VulcanMotorWorks]

Thanks man! Yeah some of them can go to museums for sure, but I think these cars are much happier when they get driven hard!

[@squashmouth2128]

Not cleaning under the rear bumper trim was a crime.

[@VulcanMotorWorks]

Haha I know I realized how dirty it was when I was editing it 🤦‍♂️

[@derkundedeinermutter2196]
