You don’t need a screwdriver to open the hood if the battery is dead and the doors are locked. Just use the key and open the door with the emergency open procedure: turn the key, pull the handle and turn the key to the emergency open position.
@@matsbjrnvik5744 Don't do what I did, lol. I bought one for $1500 CAD and have already spent over $8000 more on fixing it. The car is 27 years old after all. Mine has the 3.0 V8. I also haven't tackled all the rust on the body yet. That won't be cheap either. You're better off getting one for $4000+ in good to excellent condition. Then you won't have to worry about rust issues.
@@danyal175 242,000km. I have some bad news about her, unfortunately. A deer ran out in front of me at night on the highway and wrote her off. The hood was pushed right in and the brake lines blew along with the radiator and the transmission cooler. I had to limp the car to work as I was on my way to work at the time. I ended up scrapping it. I miss that car very much.
That cluster self test is also useful when you're checking out an E34 to buy - it flashes the last 7 characters of the VIN number from whatever coding plug is stuck in the back of the cluster. If that vin number doesn't match the one on car's body, you know the cluster or at least the coding plug has been changed out, and the mileage on the odometer isn't accurate.
Good to see you rollin' in your 40. 1 - I often disconnect the battery (LOL, guess why) and I can still lock and unlock the front doors and trunk with the key. 2 - What? I gotta check this out tomorrow morning. 3 - mine is originally from Florida so no heated seats, no LSD (though I found some coke under the seat) 4 - 7 owners before me, do you think the flashlight is still there? 5 - another one i have to check out. 6 - one time I did the stomp test the only thing that happened my throttle cable broke, so beware! 7 - Automatic window works on both side for me but not at the same time. 9 - damn son!
You can also lock the car with a 4 digit code using the OBC on the dash, with the car running, hit the code button on the lower right hand side of the obc, enter a unique code via the 1000/100/10/1 buttons and hit I/R, it shuts off the injector cirsuit and will turn over, but won't fire. To unlock, hit the code button, re-enter your code, and hit I/R again....It will then be unlocked.
10 - If you can't unlock it when the battery is dead - go to the passenger door, put the key in and twist as if you're unlocking it (nothing will happen) then try and open the door while twisting it furher (carefully) and the door will unlock. The passenger door is considered the "master" door if I'm not mistaken so goold luck.
Again, a dope ass video!!!! On E34, I do remember one thing, I don't know if your car has the original rear end, but if you've got the traction control you can't have an LSD, and if you have an LSD then you have no ASC. On E39, you can have both. The E34 is still today a gangsta ride!!!!!!
12 254(891 tourings) is pretty few,11363 of them are sedans,they made 16 202 e30 m3-s and they are already very rare but production is only few years appart
E34 wuz my favourite sport sedan until the E39 . E34 was so pure simple and great E39 was the evolution E60 was the marker pen that scribbled all over the picture and I hated them for it.
Damn... the trick with the hood opening when the Battery dies could have saved my passenger door a couple months ago. Had to open that with a metal wire and some tricks. Ended up breaking the passenger door mechanism... I did open the car but yea, at least I now know how to open that hood. Thanks for the Tip!
Slaziie just put the key in passenger door, lift the handle and turn the key it should pop the button up and you will be unlocked no grief. Try it out man
good video man! the burnout scared the sh** out of me lmao. you introduced me to Nebu Kiniza in an older episode, Ive been watching your vids ever since
My 95 540i 6spd doesn't have heated seats or traction control but it has the LSD. An easy way to tell (if you don't want to do a burnout and see whether both wheels spin) is to jack up the rear of the car and put it in neutral with the parking brake off then spin one of the wheels by hand. If the other side spins the same direction, you've got an LSD, if it spins the opposite way it's open
I can get in when my battery is dead no problem. my 535i has been in storage for 5 years, and I went to look for some mail that I left inside of it.. the battery was dead, and I turned the key and it unlocked fine.
A 4.10:1 rear end gear in a factory street car that’s not a truck and not a “ Drag Pack”? WOW. It must have a top speed of about 110mph unless it has a serious overdrive gear. Is it a 5 speed transmission? Or a 6? If it’s a 6 speed depending on application generally 5th and 6th are both overdrive gears. Which is nice.
not judging but this hilarious! If you are bugging over this 95 imagine what your reaction would be over the E28. Obviously a 1st time Bimmer owner. Good luck on your journey of learning the car. Here is one for you to take with you look up how to engine immobilizer using OBC
Im not a first time bmw owner lol or I think Im not. I heard the e28 has some tricks of its own. my gf has a 535 so I might try some. I would like to try the code but my obc light went out lol
@@StacheCam ok, I should have said old school BMW. Get that light fixed, obc is everything on that car. There is 1or2 vids out there on setting immobilizer.
hash possibly true for me, But my girlfriend is actually really smart. I’m just more street smart. So my street IQ possibly higher than hers but I’m pretty darn stupid
this comment is probably useless since the video is 5y/o but if your battery is dead… inserting the key in the door & twist towards unlock position but twist it further than normally when battery isn’t dead & it’ll unlock that individual door lmao
Luckily I’m getting one for free from a really REALLY good friend of mine and I’m so excited to do everything I can with it I’m new to cars and will absolutely try not to mess it up would like as much help as possible pls:))
Well i own an bmw e32 it basically the same as e34 and if your battery is dead you can unlock it using the key mechanically just pull the door handle while you still pulling up twist the key to unlock and it will open just the driver door
I just got a cleannnn 535i 200k original miles 1 owner cleanest 5 series I’ve seen that year has all tools owners manuel flash light got it for 1000 bucks came up!!
hey man , how can I do some home repairs of my car , like basic maintenance so that my car is smooth and doesn't give me trouble . the thing is I don't like new cars , the old ones have more character . plus save money .
i know half of them ... i have the e34 but from 1990 ... btw .. i got the car without that flashlight .... and on my obc i have cruise control idk about you guys .. i got the car used ofcorse idk if the last ower added it or it can be from factory
You can’t open the door when the battery is dead? How come? I know that E34s have two lock position on the doors: regular lock (45 degrees) and, if you turn the key more to the right (90 degrees) what I call “super lock” where you cannot unlock without power and can’t even get open from the inside. Are you just turning the key too far each time when locking? I did that on mine for the first 6 months.
My 95 540 all the windows go down with one click I don’t know if maybe you didn’t set the windows? Hold the button until the window reaches all the way down and then go up and repeat that twice and then you’re one click down and one click up should work
I am the original owner of a ‘90 525. Use the emergency door opening procedure. No need for screwdriver. Car has many features that were ahead of the times: heated door locks and mirrors, self adjusting fuel injection when driving at different altitudes, the sunroof has a spoiler that pops up when opened, and so on. I drove mine in Germany for three years: top speed was 135, though the speedometer read 150 mph, great gas mileage at slower speeds and great handling.
JODY KURTIS I randomly seen that guy haha did you buy it from some older couple ? You can buy the Bmw pigtail and wire that way which you don’t have to cut the factory harness
Yo man love the videos been watching your videos for a long time I have 1991 525i its my first car and daily driver were you get the knowledge to repair these cars man.
wondering why you'd need to pop the hood to jump it if the battery is under the rear bench seat on the passenger side?? i hate that batteries for these are $250+
7:13 Rip headphone users
4R844Z low I should of warned ya I'm sorry lol
yeah
If the battery is dead then you can unlock the doors with the key, just have to lift the handle first and turn the key a bit further ;)
You don’t need a screwdriver to open the hood if the battery is dead and the doors are locked. Just use the key and open the door with the emergency open procedure: turn the key, pull the handle and turn the key to the emergency open position.
but if you are a true nigga, you use a screwdriver

You are wrong. You can have both, a LSD and an ASC at the same time in e34.
The filming is classic 🤙🏾
I love it!
Love my 520i but neither the stompt test or dash button worked :(
M parallels are my favourite,car looks fresh buddy,peace from the uk
Hopefully I get new rims soon !
Love these cars ^_^ the 540 is looking good brotha!
Thanks Thanks Thanks for Uploading this Video 🙏🏻
Maybe the 10th secret could be that the e34 M5 was the last HAND BUILT of the M5’s. Idk maybe just a fun fact? Lol
Greasy Style very few of them made world wide
what u mean few?all of them were assembled by m team by hand,or u mean cars made?
nu skuul I’m sure he meant only a few E34 M5s were actually built
12 254 is few?
12 254(891 tourings) is pretty few,11363 of them are sedans,they made 16 202 e30 m3-s and they are already very rare but production is only few years appart
Good video and + for quality.
My E34 does not have that button that makes the tires spin plus it's a automatic. I'm thinking about selling it it is too expensive to maintain
wtf i have a 525i e34 i didnt know any of this??? need to get out to my garage to test this shit tho. really good video +rep for you
YOU SAVED MY LIFE!!!! Thought I was gonna have to break into my 1989 525i e34 but I watched this vid and BOOM! Back in action
Yo i use the window trick all the time know 😂😂 thanks .. I wish my sunroof tilted up like the 540 it looks sick
E34 wuz my favourite sport sedan until the E39 .
E34 was so pure simple and great
E39 was the evolution
E60 was the marker pen that
scribbled all over the picture and I hated them for it.
evan smith I agree ! But never fell In love with e39 maybe the 530
that "one click down" works for the front passenger window too
bmw ilzeu yeah i messed up :0

Slaziie just put the key in passenger door, lift the handle and turn the key it should pop the button up and you will be unlocked no grief. Try it out man
didnt worked we tried that out ^^'
Slaziie maybe have a play around with this method. About 12 years ago when I used it to get into my e34 525i 24v. Great cars , still miss mine . . .
I dont have my e34 520i 24V anymore ^^' sold it 2 Months ago.
Your sunroof is out of alignment when closed. The front edge is up a bit.
Hold what down on the 5th?
Great video overall but never saw what you meant 😂

That’s pretty fast there !!
Especially when my late wife was driving. She loved it.
if the battery is dead the passenger door can be opened with a key.........
Can you post a clear video of the screwdriver technique please,
I can't open the doors the handles are not working and there is no battery in the car
Did you try the double turn key method with the handle ?
Press on the sunroof button itself, then it opens the rear of the sunroof...

You’re hilarious. I love how you give tips. 🤣
Ive owned 2 535i's for over 400k kms and still finding hacks like this. Never found things like this on my Mercs crazy
I know the Merc wagons have extra two seats in the back that faces out the hatch.
I have a e34 530i can you make more videos about it.
What did he hold down to start the check? 😮 I couldnt see
wondering why you'd need to pop the hood to jump it if the battery is under the rear bench seat on the passenger side?? i hate that batteries for these are $250+
There is a positive terminal under the hood so you can jump start or charge it without going anywhere near the battery.
Do you know a place where I can purchase one of these????
