    Picked up a 540 a few months ago - these vids are amazing since I wish to refurb my b40. Keep up the good work man!

    So funny cuz I did my oil pan today with this vid and I had the same exact two bolts missing from the same spots. Preciate the vids on the 540i dude, keep em coming. I have a 95 m-sport and Im planning on keeping it for awhile. All your guides have helped so much, really appreciate it.

    Looking to buy an E34 540 for my daily...so thanks for insight into maintenance requirements. I really miss my E39 M5 which was the best vehicle I ever owned. That V8 rumble is addictive.

    Good video, been watching you for a while now! I have done all of this on my 540 over the last few months. You should look into doing the intake manifold gaskets, replacing CCV/Gasket, TB gasket, and while you are in there cleaning injectors/new O rings. Mine was intermittently stalling due to a vacuum leak and those took care of it. The CCV system on these is such a poor design and if neglected can cause serious carbon build up in the manifold and on your injectors. Good content man, enjoy the channel!

    FCP Euro is WAY WAY OVERRATED!
    I ordered a timing chain, item arrived looked refurbished (scratched, but seemed it was sandblasted it to make it look new). Then they gave me hella of hard time stating I swapped the chain. I said, is simple enough, check the ones in your inventory... management email with an apology and an RMA.
    Ended buying one from Ebay for a quarter of the cost from FCP, new in perfect condition.
