Still, I look forward to every weekend that I get to make a pot of coffee and stare as you get your hands dirty with these classics! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Finland

[@macman6107]

Yet another fantastic video thanks Sreten. I recommend doing an E34 M5 suspension upgrade to the E32. It truly does make a huge difference for the better. I found out the hard way about the tie rod ends, after ruining one. Yes I'm a slow learner. The aircon didn't work in mine which was a bitch in an Australian summer and getting parts for it wasn't an easy thing either. Another huge improvement for me, which I saw yours has, is Michelin rubber all around. With mine whenever I spoke to people on the phone (hands-free of course) they didn't even realise I was in a car driving.

[@xedasxedas]

Just a tip: "spend" the first 2 minutes reccaping the origin of the car. Sometimes i get tje peojects mixed up. The first video with the back story really brings things back to memorie.

[@M539Restorations]

Noted.

[@HNedel]

Please don’t. Tavarish always spends 5 minutes recapping what the car is and so on, so annoying. The video already says „part 6“, look for part one if you don’t know what it is.

[@xedasxedas]

@@HNedel i feel you. The american way of editing, to fill time is annoying. Sometimes those cable shows spend 1/3 of the show just reccaping. They even reccap in the pauses after the ads. But....spending just 60 seconds reccaping...or even 30 can be a compromise between our views. Cmon....that time Streten got scared of dead spider way hilarious.

[@HNedel]

@@xedasxedas his style reminds me of old top gear, with the intro saying what will be in the episode. A word or two on what was done to the car previously (like interior, brakes, suspension and so on) after that magnificent intro wouldn't hurt, but the videos are named quite well and he organizes everything in playlists, so it is easy to find the missing information.

Man on a mission….it’s good you can spot the problem and fix it!

[@michaelroloff2804]

You already know that your videos are looking for their own kind on the net ... Thank you for this extremely entertaining content! 👍😃Since the E34 and E32 share large parts of the drive train and the axles, the same sensitivity to vibrations is always achieved with both models the front axle to the fore. More than 30 years ago there were several "actions" by BMW to remedy this. One of the main problems lies in rel. fast-wearing silent bushings for the struts. This manifests itself on the one hand in a spongy feeling of the steering behavior and is very often accompanied by massive vibrations of the front axle! Fortunately, it is often enough to just replace these silent bushings. And if you want to further improve the steering behavior, you can replace these with PU bushings, which then do their job reliably and almost indestructible.

Just love the way you restore your car. Start with the essential one and go on with the others. The most important is the final inspection at autobahn. Just push the car to its limit 👍

[@1992altus]

If you use copper washers for the power steering pump hoses, you should heat the washers to red with a burner and throw them into the water, they will become soft, pliable and seal the hoses better.

[@M539Restorations]

Good tip. I normally use alu washers cause they are softer and seal better. All washers you buy from BMW now are alu.

[@1992altus]

@@M539Restorations Oh, I didn't know that about BMW. But if you really want to stick to the original, you'd better stick to the aluminum ones. In Poland, copper is probably simply popular in the secondary market, which is why I thought of them. Because I tested this myself in my BMW in the steering rack. But. maybe you really need to replace the hoses.

Hi, great channel, always interesting to watch! Regarding the vibration, check the center bore diameter of your wheels. I had the same issue with my e23. I installed wheels of an e39 with a center bore that was 74.1 in stead of 72.5. The car was shaking like a concrete mixer. Installed a set of those plastic center rings and no more problems. Could be worth a try... Good luck with your builds!

About that tie rod end: I usually just use hammer to moderately hit it, so that the bolt stick into that steering arm hole due friction. The nut finishes the job, as it multiplies the friction along when tightened.
