Found this video helpful? Check out the part 2 here! -> ua-cam.com/video/LE8nAU11iv0/v-deo.html
When doing the cabin air filter, I recommend doing the resistor aswell, very crucial when you want to avoid your car catching on fire
You're correct, I'm planning on including that in a part 2
Thank you for giving us all simple, easy to follow, well-shot guidance on how to do these changes! I'm gonna follow these (especially the door handle gaskets) when I come to change them on my E34 as well! Thank you - you've earned a sub here!
Thank you so much! Best of luck on your maintenance!
Hey man I appreciate you making this and the pt. 2! I'm planning on buying a '94 525i and this made me a lot more confident in my ability to perform basic maintenance, and it also made me much more confident in my choice of car especially after hearing the stereotypes of BMWs not being reliable lol, God bless my friend, love the content.
great video tutorial man! instruction was clear and straight to the point. Look forward to new e34 content as I recently got one and love to work for it myself.
Thanks! Appreciate the support. Enjoy the new car!
Doing good work man! Proud of ya
Ayy thank youu

Hey thanks! Appreciate the support.
Great tutorial very easy & clear instructions👌☝🏽👍👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Thank you!
Thanks Man, Really apreciate This videos you do....Great Really!
Of course! Thanks for the support!
Excellent, informative video with clear explanations. I've owned an e34 for 18 years and didn't know it was that easy to change the door gasket. Dude you have a great voice, deep and rich, you'd be great at DJ or voice over work!
Appreciate the support and the compliment! Some future video plans might use a little voiceover action, so we'll see how that goes.
Thanks for showing these I just bought e34 1991 525i bmw and I’m learning more about this master piece
For sure! Have fun with it! These are some fantastic machines worth putting a little effort into.
perfect timing just bought a 94 530i. Great Video
Thanks! Congrats on the purchase! Love those little V8s.
good video, useful tips
Thanks!
Humm i think i found my favorite bmw channel 🔥
Keep the good work man💪
Hey thanks! I appreciate it
Legend, thanks mate
Mann, thanks a lot! I've been a car enthusiast for long time and I finally able to buy my first car as E34. I'm definitely waiting for part two, any tips and tricks would be great always :)
Glad it was helpful, and congrats on the purchase! Definitely a sweet first car. I'm waiting on a few parts to arrive for pt 2, definitely have more projects than I know what to do with right now haha
reminds me of my E32 750. talk about a nostalgia trip 😁 i still remember the smell of the leather
Nice explanation even when I know all of this. Hope you will grow bigger in this youtube world 😁
Thanks! I appreciate your support!
You can pull the gray plastic that the side carpeted cover screws into, makes replaceing the filter way easier.
Perfect spec e34😍
Also beware of the windshield sprayers. They have an additional pressure regulator right before the sprayer under the hood wich tend to block and leak onto the hood insulation material and then leak over the engine bay. Just remove them and plug the sprayers to the cleaning water lines.
Couldn't have been better timing I am going to look at an e34 525 today for a daily driver. Super helpful vid!
Awesome! Can't recommend these cars enough. Good luck!
How do you like daily driving it so far?? I’m looking at one soon
@@jacobhogan7191 It's great! Very comfy and easy to drive, I already had a guy leave a note on it asking if I'd like to sell it lol
I have owned my 95 525i automatic for over 20 years. 242,000 plus miles. It is part of my family.
Good job, very detailed. mine is E53 X5 with 240k miles on it.
Changing the cabin air filter is a nightmare, I did it years ago following the original brochure wich is terrible (black and white 2 pages diagram ). Recording it must be even worst. Good job.
Very nice informative vid. But dang got to take apart half the car just to do a cabin air filter.
Still love e34 .
Thanks! I know, it is a little ridiculous just for a cabin air filter. Absolutely still worthwhile though in my opinion.
Angry ass solutions provides a solid handle gasket set.
Good to know, thanks
So true
Très bien expliqué. Je me suis abonné.
Merci!
Excellent Video... I just got a 540/6 and need to do those jobs on the door handles. The door handles catch open is that related to the gaskets or is that something different?
Thanks! Congrats on the 540, that's awesome! That's not an uncommon issue, I believe it has to do with the actual lubrication of the mechanism. You probably want to pull the door card and grease the joints, but honestly squirting a little WD40 through that little hole that grommet sits in might help.
I've had my trunk hit my head a few times
Can confirm it hurts
Great tutorial! I've feared doing my door handles and cabin filter for 10 yrs. no joke! But feel I should tackle it now. A mechanic will charge 1 hr. labor easy for the filter. All 5 series (prior to E60) dating back to later E12s, came with flashlights for the US, and most Euro models - yours is just missing one, which is common. Have you ever changed the blower switch resistor, accessed from the left side of center console? I hear they can cause fires and produce smoke and burning smell as the coils get old.
No time like the present! If I can do it anyone can. As far as the flashlight goes, it actually has a chunk of foam blocking off the socket which is from factory since this car wasn't optioned with one for whatever reason. This car was definitely a special order and it may have been something with shipping it back and forth overseas, needing batteries removed from the car or something.
I've never done a blower resistor, no, but I am actually planning to tackle that in a part 2!
These clips that hold the resistor are pretty strong. Atleast my ones were when i checked that last time.
@@MyersMotors How weird about the flashlight. Nice I look forward to it!
Great
Nice..
My trunk has definitely tried to take my life a time or two. Thankfully the hood hasn't gained its thirst for blood
BMW really screwed the pooch with that cabin air filter. Ridiculously complicated.
I have an 01 e320 mercedes and the main filters are behind the glove box. Four screws inside it and it slides out. They're right there. Then remove the lower panel which is hooked in and pull out the two carbon filters. Pretty easy.
I changed these shortly after buying the car about five years ago and I could feel the difference in the airflow. There is actually a bypass switch for the carbon filters on the hvac panel.
I still like BMWs better than mercedes because I like the way they drive as a result of their suspension set up. I had an 03 530i several years ago. Loved it.
Yeah it is overly complicated on the older cars, I think it was an oversight on the part of the engineers. On all my other newer BMWs the filters are right under the hood, don't even need tools to replace them. Even still, they're all great cars and I honestly prefer the look and feel of the older ones.
@@MyersMotors Did BMW ever add carbon filters like my mercedes?
I've seen people work on newer bmws and I remember the filters being right under the hood on the firewall.
please do more e34 videos
I absolutely will! Appreciate it!
Смотрю тебя с России ,спасибо познавательно👍
Check the trunk lights turn off when closed, the switch fail after so many years, and will drain your battery.
Hey our cars got identical color what's your code mind was an experimental color
Hello, I have a 1994 BMW E34= Can the A/C condenser be changed out , without removing the front bumper and front grill?
That's one thing I'm really not sure of - I would imagine so, it likely comes out from underneath the car if I'm thinking of it correctly.
Have you ever replaced a blower motor relay on a car with no a/c? Mine works only on highest setting so I know that this is the issue. I also know where it is located on a car with a/c but I have trouble finding it on my car. Can anyone help me?
It sounds like your car has a "sword" resistor. I'm not familiar with that style, but there should be plenty of info about it on forums
@@MyersMotors sword resistor is found on cars with automatic a/c, mine has something entirely different, I can't find no info on that
Those headlights were never available in Germany. Was it a car from an American soldier stationed in Germany?
You're correct, it was specced to be US compliant. The owner was military civilian.
This scares me lmao soo many steps
I gotcha. But hey, I was winging it believe it or not. If I can do it so can you!
The door handle gasket you can make yourself, with what ever quality rubber or foam you want. Just my cheapskate opinion 😂😂.
shouldve got a 540i
Yeah my bad
N'a pas de logique dans ce qu'il fait donc travaille à l'envers. N'a même pas pris le soin de retirer l'agrafe en plastique grise carrée qui gène le retrit du couvercle de filtre ainsi que le filtre.
J'espère que rien n'a été perdu dans la traduction. Si j'ai raté quelque chose dans la vidéo, je suis sûr que je l'ai décrit verbalement. J'ai montré toutes les étapes au mieux de mes capacités.
You left "replace all suspension bushings" out.
You're right lol. I've been slowly working through those in recent videos.
@@MyersMotors because of their age, these 30 year old bushings are probably toast. I do prefer to upgrade to 750i or M5 bushings where possible.
Don't forget to tighten them under load!
Also: I haven't had a single E34 or E32 without tons of play on the steering rack/box/however you name it on the E34. Had my last one rebuilt and it's perfectly fine now.
Yup, thanks! Rebuilding the steering box is definitely high on my list of to-dos.
Excellent video, complete pig of a job though, what a nightmare 😟
Another crucial item to replace

Yessir, already in the works for a part 2!
So the 90 doesn’t have a filter? It just sounds like leaves and stuff in the fans so I wasn’t sure if there was something I could check other then the fans
