[@adamflower1715]

Can't wait to see this car when you're done with it. I really like the close-up shots of the service and the thorough explanation of every step - thanks for that!

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Thank you! I figured I would help others by documenting the journey!

bro idk how this only has 3.3k views but on some real s*** you inspiring af and just know you living life man don't know your life but you sound like you really happy with life right now and that's awesome. The yard looks amazing by the way and I doubt paying for the yardjob would've been half as badass!

[@DeadEndRestorations]

thanks brother! I figured why wait until retirement to live out your dreams, might as well just start now :) Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@TheDemonsFromSassoun]

@@DeadEndRestorations God bless bro. You are 100% right! Don't have the money to afford a e34 right now but hope to one day be able to work on it like you do was very inspiring to watch like opening up a hobby you never knew you had. When and if that day comes one day just know I will come back and rewatch all of these videos step by step sweating my ass off probably dropping the phone on my face a million times trying to do a few things haha. Just know you a legend forever in history just for uploading these videos screw what youtube thinks!

[@turtle9294]

Fantastic seriously fantastic, cannot thank you enough for this step by step.

[@francispowell1811]

Sorry you got rid of the 530i. Upgrades of various systems would have been great. Much enjoyed!!

[@Gaaaz]

Haha.. As a 38 yo bald man with an E34, 3 kids and a garden full of work: I feel you, bro! ;) Never give up!

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Oh man, kindred spirit!! Thank you

[@graffie]

Nice work!

[@CityEstates]

Word of caution, I used to use that brake lube that you have from Canadian Tire and found it didn't work well, had to re-grease my sliders annually or my calipers would bind. Switched to 3M silicone, more expensive, but haven't had issues since.

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Good to know, crappy tire strikes again! Thx!

[@francispowell1811]

3M silicone recommendation noted. Thanks.

[@klouda1]

Loved it, good job, and so much fun to watch!

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Thanks Jakub!!

[@kakashi_copyninja7]

Great video man!

[@TheHunterHofman]

Wouldn’t it be a small investment/effort to repaint the calipers while they were off? Loving the content and currently watching all your videos!

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Glad to hear it thanks man!! I thought about it but they can’t be seen through the wheels but if I get bigger wheels I may do it… have a set of oem m5 throwing stars that i need to refinish 🤩

[@GalvanizedGreatness]

Idk man my 30 y/o brake fluid works just fine😌

[@thegamingrage1737]

Whats up! Great video man. I have an e32 from -89. What happens if you unscrew the brake-lines from the ABS to the car, like the side that goes to the brakes.

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Thanks! Apparently if you get air in this early generation ABS system it needs a professional to disassemble it and get the air out. Why do you need to disconnect it?

[@Exekutioncro]

If I only change the rear brakes do I have to bleed the front brakes too? And if I change the brake fluid, it is necessary to bleed all the brakes?

[@DeadEndRestorations]

If you're bleeding them you may as well bleed all 4 corners, this way you have fresh fluid in the entire system. Good luck!

[@zacharywiggins3768]

So no fancy tricks with the abs system to bleed the brakes besides not running it dry?

[@DeadEndRestorations]

Nope :)

[@dickmantsarnaev8624]

i just had to buy a new bleeder screw the rear drivers side was rounded off on the top, can i do the front 2 yet or should i wait until i can get this one done first?

[@DeadEndRestorations]

wait because you want to bleed the rears first then the fronts. good luck!
