    Примно бачити людину яка наполеглива в своїх бажаннях та з правильним положенням рук.
    Це важка та об'ємна робота.
    Відновити те що роками було занедбаному стані.
    Бажаю Вам сил та натхнення,слідкую за Вашим каналом і роботою.Цікаво.

      @@wewrench I have experience with replacing the entire thing. It helps alot but it's not exactly a perfect solution for the problem and it still might scrape the hood. Problem is made from the factory, not enough clearance. Perhaps replacing it and grinding off some material from the wiper arm would be more of a permanent fix...

    Wow how have I not seen this earlier even searching for e34 m5 content? Considering the view count I had no expectations for this video but was positively surprised at how good the video is. I have an e34 535i manual so not quite m5. I have so far partly restored mine (mainly a new paint job and complete rear axle refurbishment) Super stoked to see some more M5 content, thanks!

    It is a early 1992? 3.6?
    Why are you talking about dual mass flywheel? 3.6 has single mas fly wheel.
    1992b 3.8 has dual.
    It has 3.8 wheels, are you going to get 3.6 wheels?

    • @wewrench
      @wewrench  2 роки тому +1

      It has a build date of 10/1991 so it’s an early US spec 1992. I looked in the parts system and it says “twin mass flywheel” in the heading, but the part just says “flywheel” so I could be mistaken. As far as the wheels go…these wheels came standard on 1993 US spec M5’s so I guess they can technically be called 3.6 wheels. Are you from overseas?

    • @wewrench
      @wewrench  2 роки тому +1
