    This car has more stories and accounts to tell than any new BMW on the street, these days! Very classic and historical. As a person born in the 90s, I remember seeing a few of these too on city streets, in the late 90s. Every time I look at these, nowadays, I'm always taken aback. They just don't make them as sturdy and underrated as this anymore...

    This is the first video of a 524td with anyone showing a single thing about timing these engines thank you so much I have one of these my dad bought years ago and nothing showed how you set timing on one here in the u.s.

    My father had one of theese, a gasoline one... that it has kept for a good number of years. I have always been attached to this car. I remember when it was replaced, I went out of my way to make sure he kept it instead of buying another one. Unfortunately, he preferred to buy an Opel Omega TD... with a BMW engine.
    Good work!

    Hello Flexiny,
    Thank you for sharing this very nice restart video of this BMW 524 TD which has been stopped for almost 20 years. We see less and less of these models which are able to cover very very long mileage (500,000 km or more...)

    BMW's first diesel engine, co-developed with and built by Steyr in Austria based on the M20 petrol engine. It never sold well here in the US, as far as I know, but they did sell the engines to other makers, including Ford which put them in select Lincoln vehicles.
