I am all kinda of jealous and excited for you. I love my e39 touring and can't imagine what kind of beast your car is. If the only thing people are going to nit pick about your car the badges I think you're in the clear.

^e34 touring factory dual sunroof

DSHD / Double Sunroof.. thing is awesome when it works. I completely rebuilt mine with new BMW parts, took me $450 to get it working again, but its really freaking cool.

Did some work to my M5 Touring today, re-installed the camshafts after having them re-machined / restored by Delta Camshaft



Timing the engine was somewhat of a bitch and took us quite awhile to line everything up. Next up is to reshim all 24 valves.

(nasally voice) "But you know, James, it's not a real M5T because the VIN blah blah blah..."

This fred is full of beaufitul E34iT's.

ill be reshimming the car saturday and hopefully getting to the vaccum matching by next week, just been super busy enjoying my M5 no matter what naysayers want to call it

Remember to do a Valve adjustment and reshim if required. I currently have both my cams out having the lobes resurfaced. Keep an eye on the timing chain tensioner (upgrade to the Euro S50B32 one if you need to replace it)

They are VERY picky engines but running properly they are amazing. I'd also invest in a set of Vacuum gauges to sync the throttles.

Oh and the MAF is a first gen Bosch Hotwire MAF, only used on the S38B36 and Motronic Porsche 928, very expensive to replace (over $1000) and around $400 to have repaired.

Enjoy it, mine has tons of Dinan goodies on it (Suspension, Cam gear, Chip, 850i Brembo brakes, etc)

He can always (you as well) send the MAF to Injection Lab, they do a wonderfull restoration/rebuild for these MAF. Mine is aB38 therefore different MAF but they did manage to rebuild it and add an adjustbale potentiometer.

Would be that Schwarz II color?:) More photos please

Other then a few brackets in the engine bay for the coil, expansion tank and the air box etc can you tell me the difference between an M5 touring shell and a 525it shell.

The badges. ;)

I Love oldschool tourings and wagons. If I had a BMW wagon this would be the one. beautiful M5t!

Thats a Really Nice M5 Touring You have there.

And to the OP, Thats also a really nice M5 Touring. I think you should go out for a really Nice drive in your M5 . It really is a nice M5

Seriously tho, this car is more of an ///M car then any US E36 M3.

M5 is down for a few days, clutch hydro line is toast the pedal started not holding, so I threw it in our stacker trailer to see if I could find the issue and snapped a few pics as well.
btw car has a 3.91lsd not a very good highway gear with the e30 m3 5 speed.

who ever did the swap did some dumb custom shit with the hardlines and softlines. plus a sc ive never seen before and couldnt find. soooo I got rid of everything replaced it with a m3 sc and a soft line that goes right from the master to the slave.

BMW Wanted some insane amount for the factory part. I had a local hydraulic place make up a line for me.. 30 bucks and nicer than the factory.
