Overhauling a BMW E32 735iL's Many Neglected and Leaky Components 

You have to got to have the most comprehensive catalog of repair videos.

It's worth mentioning that BMW revised the M10 M30 banjo bolts - the new ones have a circle machined into the top surface. They have a slightly different thread pitch so they are tighter to wind in and they have dry threadlocker applied. Nip them to 12 nm and they shouldn't come loose again. I use them on mine. The oil spray bar only fits one way and there is a kind of 'V' arrow on one end of it that must be at the front pointing towards the chain. I've seen M30's were this has been fitted the wrong way. It lubricates six cam lobes and the other 6 run dry. Expensive!

Nice. just did cap, rotor, plugs(autolight coppers), wires, valve cover gasket and breather tube, breather tube for the valve cover was almost fully plugged haha, on a 1990 e30. maybe I'll post a vid, its a beauty car. Already filmed some stuff just gotta slap it together.

très, très beau travail et merci pour les explications en vidéo

Speaking about valve adjustment - I did my valves on my M20 E34 a few years ago, because they were super loud. You could easily hear them in the 2k RPM range inside the interior. The engine was rebuilt and stroked to 2.8 in 2017, then sat for 6 months without use in 2018 while the body was undergoing a huge restoration. After I got my car back and started driving it again I really noticed how loud the valves had become and only did something about it in like 2021. After the adjustment, the engine was obviously much quieter, however the idle sorta became rough. The needle in the dash wasn't jumping around, but you could easily feel it through your butt that the engine was vibrating a little, as if there was a misfire or something. After that I went over the valves again and they were still in spec. Last year I took the car again to an old BMW specialist shop (the same repair shop who did the rebuild). Few issues were discovered like a bad fuel pump and a bad fuel pressure regulator which were replaced. I could feel that some horsepower had been restored after replacing those two things. I also did the spark plugs (BOSCH 0 242 229 779) and a new air filter just for the sake of it. It still runs a little rough when idle, but no power loss or anything when driving it. I kinda gave up on it as I can't seem to find where the issue lies. It all began when the valves were first adjusted... BTW, I have a video on my channel where you can see and hear my car running, don't know how much justice will the video do, but fuck it. And yes there was an exhaust leak by the manifold which was also taken care of.

I don't know if you fixed the power steering issue but my intermittent steering was fixed when I cleaned the filter screen in the servotronic control unit on the bottom of the steering gearbox. Pretty easy procedure.

Another excellent video. Been binge watching alot of your videos recently and I have really enjoyed all of them. I' m picking up my first classic Bmw tommorrow a E34 525i Non vanos that needs a bit of TLC here and there but will make a good little project for me.

I love your channel mate, continue the good work.

good job. keep it going

Very nice

awesome e32 video.

Don't kno how long u plan on keeping that car, but next time the control arm bushings go out, get u some powerflex bushings (BLK); them things don't last very long *(rubber). *If Moosehead still makes parts, that's something worth looking into, if u plan to keep this car; they make a spherical bushing like the E38 has. **E38 control arms work as well, I believe, just more money obviously. The difference is one is sealed and the other one isn't. Always a pleasure to see u getting these cars and working on them; my favorite generations of BMW as well!

josh i like that e28 when you doing that .anyway josh very good video fella

Incredible. These videos are so helpful. What do you think of a high mileage 1999 M3? I just got one with 300k miles.... running and driving in very good shape

Recently replaced the lower control arms on my e34 which curred a 55mph shimmy but noticed bush play as you demonstrated in the uppers arms too so they're gonna get changed too. I went the Meyle route too. Great descriptions and explanations as usual. It's clear that you go to some lengths to be accurate and specific which really aids understanding, so thank you for that, it's appreciated dude. I'm having similar issues in terms of steering feel but zero leaks. Flushed the system a few times as the ps fluid was very dark/dirty and it's improved slightly but still feels heavy when parking. Maybe an issue with steering gearbox? Is your steering issue resolved? Can't wait for the drive video on this 735i. 👍😉

Today i was driving in my e34 and I found a mini quad on the side of the road. Pulled over to ask about the quad and there was a green 735 across the street...

anyone knows where to buy parts for 1986 atg bmw m7 (modified from e23)? cam top lobe is worn (making tick, tick noises) maybe cheaper by getting to top half of the engine.

I've owned a e32 1990 735IL since 2002. I finally repaired/replaced power steering hoses & pump. Benn leaking for 20 yrs. Price of hydraulic. Oil went up 50% so I decided to overhaul system after whining vibrating noise started. I've replaced old distributor with corrosion on the copper leads from probably excessive humidity in July & August in Middle GA. I've replaced hydraulic self-leveling shocks with ones from wrecked of 1993 e32. Now, cold air blows on driver side & hot air blows on passenger side???? What do think is the problem?

Watched 539 recently and he did the PSP.. the shaft has to be pressed out.

I gotta say m30 cars seem as simple as they look
