In Part 3 of our BMW E34 restoration, we diagnose the issue that left us stranded, repair decades of neglected mechanical problems, chase a serious power loss issue, and uncover a hidden problem that could have destroyed the M60 V8 engine.

Please, if possible, do one day an E34 525 TDS. It made once my life to the hell with the fuell pump!
