If the car is from 1988 and it was sold in Poland this year it's crazy. I mean communism offcially ended in 1989 and from that point there was crazy capitalism where people could start to make some big cash, but most of the cars on the roads back there was like 650cc Fiat. Being able to see m5 on the road in 1988 must have been mindblowing

Edit: in 1995 it could be bought by some mob but i believe that they would preffer to stole it in Germany those days and put it on some other papers even pinch VIN... but i belive if the vin is straight this was bought by some one whelthy who had some money to buy it.

I'm 90% sure the car has aftermarket remote start system, that's why it stays running. This is made like that because car is manual to prevent starting on a gear remotely. The car is from Surgut, Siberia according to plate it has (86 region) and they use it all the time to warm up cars. Try to release hand brake first and shut it off. If it stalls than I'm right.

Hi, Sreten! Thanks for another great video and looking forward to enjoying the new project! E34 M5 is very special one! Honestly, I wish you had one as well ;) Regarding engine that does not stop after you remove the key. If the car has aftermarket car alarm system (and knowing the car is from Russia), I bet it is the reason. Look, in Russia we have these alarms with something called “smart Neutral control” function - for cars with manual gearboxes. The idea is that you park the car, pull up the handbrake, remove the key and then lock the car using alarm key fob and only then engine stops - this makes the alarm “remember” that the car is on Neutral and will let it start remotely from a key fob. Otherwise, it will not. The easy ways to check: 1) do not pull up the handbrake after you park, then remove the key and engine shall stop in about 5 sec. Then you can pull up the handbrake; OR 2) lock it using key fob and it shall stop. Hopefully, this will help!

@BK11

2 жыл бұрын

Came here to say the same thing about the remote starter. Old systems used to work like this, where the car would stay running if you shut it off in neutral with the handbrake engaged. Given the hacked wiring under the dash and that it came from a cold climate, it's likely.

When converting to non SLS rear shocks, just fit a standard 535i PAS pump. It's nice to see an E34 M5 that isn't absolutely shagged with rust. Most in the UK have seen some action with a welding torch. Valve and throttle body adjustment is essential to get close to the full 340 ponies as is proper fuel, not 95 octane junk.

Clicking on a random old BMW video en Misha appearing out of nowhere made my day.

I've owned a '93 RHD E34 520i Touring since '98, now has 400,000 kms on it. Great car, no rust as it's been down in southern France since '98. Now in process of rebuilding the front suspension and it needs some tailgate wiring sorting as the tailgate and tailgate glass releases don't work.

If it makes you feel better, my E39 528i died on a long journey, fuel gauge said half-full. I had to get it recovered on a truck and then get a BMW mechanic out to look at it. After a few hours, he diagnosed no fuel... As a rear ABS sensor had dropped out, it stopped sending a distance signal to the ECU, consequently, the fuel gauge stopped working; it doesn't just use the flait in the tank to get a measurement !

I remember when the first owners were done with these cars, the second owner who bought it usually lived near a border and used the car to smuggle fuel (100L tank)... if you keep it around 90kph the engine is surprisingly fuel efficient, do 2-3 trips a day, and you have comfortable living. 17:00 fan clutch is stuck, should not be turning with an ice cold engine

New video of streten = best part of the week

I am subscribed to both channels for a long time. I have been salivating at the prospect of an E34 on the M539 channel as I used to own a '95 540i 6-speed. It was my baby, until I was diagnosed with MS and can no longer drive. The M5 you have would be pre-93 facelift models. The kidney grills on mine were larger, and the hood "body lines" on the later models were more pronounced and curved towards the A-pillar. I have a few hundred pictures, I'd love to share with you if you're interested I could send a few... Also, the 6-speed trans in the 540i was delightful. Better gear-ratio than the 5-speed for regular daily use around town. Very robust. I would vote to maintain it's originality, there are so few examples left in any condition. Cheers!

The house call format at Apex at the Nürburgring is certainly refreshing change.

I agree with Sreten, this car Misha, looks extremely good from what is shown in the video. I have looked for a M5 for over 10 years and local cars mostly were in a much worse state! You got a gem there and a really good deal. Regarding vibrations, you should get rid of that by replacing front control arms and like Sreten said, do all the rest at the same time. The ruff running is normal, the S38 runs ruff, you could adjust valve clearance. The flywheel sound is pretty normal too, it's not a dual mass flywheel. Compression is really perfect! Rear shock are dead, yes, you can hear them sing. Ah yes, for the brakes in the front, if it has 4 pistons, then it's not stock. The 3,6 1988 had 315x28 and single piston. The 4 pistons brake might come from a 750i or 850i and has 324x30.

I agree. The story that a car like this sat around from '88 to '95 for seven years untill it was sold "new" in post-communist Poland sounds fishy. I also think it had a life pre-'95 (probably in Germany), got stolen during the 1990s-car-theft-epidemic and the VIN was washed in Poland to sell the car to Russia. If that VIN is even original to the car. You can probably safely drive it in Poland, but I don't know how long german authorities store the VINs of stolen cars. I wouldn't try to register it here in Germany, yet alone drive it as is. A dated BMW on polish plates is the mother of all cop magnets. Let's hope Sreten isn't the unlucky guy who is driving this thing into a TÜV-station.
