I got to say I am very unhappy with my e34 right now. I thought it would be a solid driver but its been nothing but a pain in the ass. One problem after the other.
Problems as of now.
-Power steering goes pssssssshhhhhhhh when turned all the way to the right, not the left. This is after topping off the fluid because it was whining.
-Open door light comes on even though all doors are firmly shut.
-Brake circuit light comes on even though all brake lights work
-Check engine light is on and stomp test will not work
-Traction control light is on no idea why
-That button that gets pushed when the gas pedal is all the way down does not put the car in a lower gear and help you speed up
Iv lost all interest in this thing because its such a pain in my ass. I dont have the money to have some one ells fix it for me, and I cant find anyone with an OBD1 code reader. I asked O'reilly if they will read my codes, and they are not aloud to do that in CA.

Thanks man. This car is more work than I was planning on. The big problems right now are the sagging headliner and the pealing clear coat. Iv been so overwhelmed with truck and touring problems I havent wanted to work on anything for a while now lol
I have almost never driven this car. Ones on the way home from buying it, and then maybe one or two other times.Leave a comment:

I love E34 tourings!
Had one a year ago, but traded it for an e34 sedan.
It's a nice car you've found :-)Leave a comment:

Awesome pick up man, I always enjoy reading through your threads. You always keep things very tasteful and totally functional. We just scored a 525i E34 Touring for my lady as her new DD and I can't wait to get it on the road (needs a new steering lock housing and ignition switch, both ordered and en route to my house). I don't doubt that I'll end up driving it more than she does haha. Looking forward to watching this build progress!Leave a comment:

Just got an email from OKInjectors. Turns out my spray patterns and flow rates were all over the place, and one of my injectors was stuck closed. I should have a good performance increase when I get them back and installed.Leave a comment:

I had the injectors sent out for cleaning and a rebuild if needed. They were NASTY! I should have them back by the end of this next week. Then Ill see how well I can get this engine running. I still have to figure out the intake/filter section. I ordered a massive K&N cone filter that's about as big as I can fit. I want to see if I can stuff it in the original air box some how with some modification. Make it look more stock. I cant use the original air box and filter because the hose diameters are different and I dont feel like ordering or finding the b40 air box. I also like the sound of the intake with out the box muffling the sound.Leave a comment:

So not much progress. The fact that I am working for my self and havent been getting many jobs for the right pay lately has set me back a lot. Plus I keep having bad luck like some ass hole cutting the cat off of my truck which set me back more then a few hundred.
I just put the m60b40 air intake parts (intake manifold, TB, MAF,) on my m60b30 and I am having a few issues, but the sound is great.
I think I pulled on the cable that connects to throttle body-traction control unit to hard and now the traction control light is on. I also have a check engine light on, which may or may not be related. The engine runs fine though.
I ordered a cone filter to fit the b40 MAF, and I am going to get my injectors rebuilt by OKinjectors. They so good work and have great customer service.
The front end suspension/steering components really need a rebuild, and the struts and springs need changing badly. We will see where the money comes from.Leave a comment:
