Hi guys Wanted you opinions about this car https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-BMW-E34-M5-Individual-3-6-Sterling-silver-buffalo-extended-leather-S38/263421344043?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l9372 Do the engine modifications described here help preserve the engine? Perhaps a dumb question but will the engine number tell me the replacement engine is a S38B36 somehow? Your help appreciated!

Hi all Just yesterday, the car started without issue. Today, I went to start it up, turning the key to the on position lights up all the normal lights on the dash. However, I don't hear the fuel pump, or the relay clicking. When I turn the key, nothing, no sound at all, it doesn't even crank. Perhaps the issue is with the Clifford alarm? It does appear to be temperamental so maybe the immobiliser has locked me out of the starting system? I do think this is the issue so how do I disable the damn thing?! Cheers in advance

Just on the off chance, as part of ac recommissioning, I'm in need of an ac compressor for the beast. I think the genuine p/n is 64528390468 but more knowledgeable folk may correct me. Anyone out there got hold of a good one? Cheers

Hi all Just wanted to share some lovely pics after I had my M5 valeted today. The paintwork was already beautiful but it is pristine now (bar the odd tiny scratches that need paint correction). One of the pics shows the local (Cambridgeshire) chap who did the work, highly recommended! Plus, my first ever E34 M5 'fix' was the replacement of the front fog light bulbs, which now work! Enjoy.

Hi all Can anyone tell me what the hell this thing is?! I noticed a couple of drops of oil on it, whereas a similar looking thing (bottom left corner) is dry. It seems like a rubber cap on something, that nut is there for show as far as I can tell, it's not wound onto anything. Someone please enlighten me!

Hi everyone So after the debacle re: M5 3.8 i was going to purchase a week or so ago, a member contacted me to say he'd been thinking of selling his car. I think he's quite well know here, Andy (aka ringsideE34). After reading his thread, I didn't hesitate to say I'd have it! I just got the car today and of course my first ever picture is at the petrol station! A massive thank you to Andy for all his hard work and I'll try to continue the improvements to this great car. There are a few minor niggles to sort out but Andy was completely transparent about them. Not much to ask considering what he's done already! Here's to many years of enjoyment!!

Hi all Unsurprisingly, i tried to get into my car today and the doors won't open. The alarm light is also out so I have a dead battery. How do I get into the car so I can actually open the bonnet to jump start the car?

Hi, I'm a fairly new owner of an M5 and have found that one of the rear SLS shocks has a slight leak. I believe the shocks are no longer available? If so, what are my options here? I have read that others have capped off the SLS and going with normal shocks? If this my best option, anyone recommend any particular shocks? I've been in two minds about leaving the car OEM ride height, or lowering it ever so slightly anyway... so this could end up making my mind up for me. Cheers, Luke

I would like to get it serviced and have a good checking through. Am I best to use BMW main dealer (bowker) or a BMW specialist or other? I'm in Preston so ideally something around here / in Lancashire. many thanks wayne
