E34 M5 Resto Part VI: BMW Door Panels and Steering Wheel
Mechanically, the E34 M5 BMW is regarded as a thoroughly over engineered performance machine, typical of German craftsmanship of the era, and perhaps the last vehicle built by the marque that was created using a “cost is no object” philosophy when it came to design hours. The BMW M5 interior, on the other hand, has […]
E34 M5 BMW Part Resto V – ///M5 Badge & BMW Ignition Parts
In replacing my roundels a few weeks ago, it became clear that the BMW ///M5 badge (actually two pieces) on my trunk was looking less than stellar. Years of Texas sun had taken a toll on the coloring and it was becoming a little pitted. Thankfully, these BMW parts are still readily available for order […]
E34 M5 Resto Part IV – Fan Clutch Replacement
About 35 minutes into my first big road trip in the M5 (i.e., more than 15 miles), it became readily apparent that the fan clutch for the belt driven cooling fan had completely seized. How did I know? I’m not psychic, and the engine stayed nice and cool, staying firmly planted a touch below the […]
E34 M5 Resto PtIII: Wheels, Tires and Door Handle Gaskets
Even before my 1991 BMW M5 arrived, I knew that I was going to need new wheels and tires ASAP. The original M System Turbines had been sold two owners ago (heartbreaking!) and the car was now wearing 18×9 BMW / BBS Style 42 wheels with worn out rubber. While I might have kept a […]
E34 M5 Resto Part II: Replacing The BMW Badges
Sometime between purchasing a new project car and it arriving on a transport truck at my home, I always seem to amass a small mountain of parts — things I know based on photos or a pre-purchase inspection will obviously require replacement. And on a project such as my 1991 E34 M5, which needs no […]
New England Dustoff 2017 Photo Gallery is UP!
There’s a running gag with the inner New England dub scene that it will ALWAYS rain for the Dustoff. Meant to “Dust Off” your VW or Audi show car after a winter of careful storage, the Dustoff 2017 is meant to be the groan and stretch after a long hibernation, and it’s HUGE! Thousands of […]
E34 M5 Resto Part I: The Shimmy, Shake and Shuffle
There can be no doubt. I have been a lifelong, dyed in the wool gearhead. Some of my earliest memories involve wrenching with my father on Austin Healeys, helping to rebuild SU carburetors on our basement workbench. And when his restorations were finished, the cars were not stored away under glass, never to be touched, […]
The eEuroparts.com Saab 9-3 Debuts at “The Glen”
This past weekend eEuroparts.com debuted our new Saab 9-3 race car in the American Endurance Racing Sahlen’s Sprig Fest at Watkins Glen International, know as “The Glen”. The Glen is an extreme test of racing that includes 3.9 miles of fast corners, faster straights, and punishing curbing. The field featured 80 cars and it was […]
The New England Dustoff is THIS SUNDAY in Thompson, CT
If you are looking for some light at the end of the cold rainy tunnel known as April, look no further than Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park for the New England Dustoff. This annual event is geared towards the VW/Audi community with show classes for each generation. However, all makes and models are welcome in the […]
